This invention discloses a class of environmentally sensitive MrgX2 fluorescent probes, their preparation methods, and applications, belonging to the field of biomedical and
chemical probe technology. Using a
small molecule compound with MrgX2
receptor antagonistic activity as a recognition backbone, a long-chain
polyethylene glycol
linker is introduced by recognizing the active O or N sites on the aromatic ring substituents in the backbone molecule, and then covalently coupled to a
Nile Red fluorescent
chromophore to obtain the environmentally sensitive MrgX2 fluorescent probe. Compared with existing probes, the
fluorescence emission of this probe is located in the
red light region, which can reduce the interference of
autofluorescence in biological samples and improve the detection
signal-to-
noise ratio. Simultaneously, the long-chain
polyethylene glycol
linker improves the probe's hydrophilicity and dispersibility, reducing non-specific
membrane staining and background adsorption, which is beneficial for achieving stable and specific fluorescent labeling of the MrgX2
receptor on the
cell membrane surface, making it suitable for fluorescent labeling and
visualization analysis of the MrgX2
receptor in
cell models.
