The present invention discloses the application of a water-soluble and positively charged fluorescent probe TPA-3Py for the detection of
sodium heparin. TPA-3Py is obtained by covalently connecting three methylated vinylpyridines to the three arms of a
triphenylamine molecule respectively.
Heparin can induce the aggregation-induced emission effect of this fluorescent molecule. With the increase of the
heparin content, the
fluorescence intensity increases significantly, showing a good
fluorescence turn-on response, overcoming the deficiency that the
fluorescence probe quenches due to aggregation during the detection of
heparin in the prior art. When a 10 μM
aqueous solution of TPA-3Py is used for the detection of heparin, a stable
fluorescence intensity is achieved within 5 minutes, the
linear range is 0 - 6.14 mg / L (R<supgt;2< / supgt> = 0.9938), the lowest
detection limit is 49.53 ng / mL, and the
quantum yield reaches 4.85%. For the detection of
sodium heparin, the TPA-3Py probe adopted in the present invention overcomes the
quenching phenomenon caused by aggregation and exhibits a significant AIE effect. The fluorescent probe TPA-3Py for the detection of
sodium heparin in the present invention has high sensitivity, high
fluorescence intensity,
rapid response and stable
signal. The fluorescent molecular structure of TPA-3Py is simple, and the detection method is simple and easy to implement, which is worthy of popularization and application in the determination of the
sodium heparin content.
