This invention relates to the field of
nitric oxide donor technology, and particularly to a
fluorescein-fused
nitric oxide donor, its preparation method, and its application. The method includes the following steps: adding N,N-
dimethylformamide to a mixture of an aromatic compound containing a para-active halogenated
side chain and
potassium carbonate; stirring; adding 3-
trifluoromethyl-4-
nitroaniline;
quenching the reaction with saturated brine;
drying and vacuum concentration; and purifying. Then, mixing
fluorescein,
potassium carbonate, and
dimethyl sulfoxide and stirring; placing the first mixture in an ice-water bath; adding a second mixture;
quenching the reaction with saturated brine;
drying and vacuum concentration; and purifying to obtain the
fluorescein-fused
nitric oxide donor. This constructs a functional molecule that combines
NO release function and
fluorescence response characteristics, achieving an integrated release-response-imaging function. This solves the problem that existing
NO donors are difficult to monitor in real time, making it impossible to intuitively and in real-time trace
NO release behavior, thus limiting the practical application of nitric
oxide donors.
