Abstract:

Hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite (HOCl/OCl) plays a crucial role in immune defense and other biological processes. A carbazole fluorescent probe, 9-ethyl-3-((2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydrazineylidene) methyl)-9H-carbazole (CZ-NH), was designed and synthesized for the detection of HOCl/OCl. After OCl was added, the fluorescence spectrum showed a strong absorption peak at 370 nm, and the fluorescence enhancement was nearly 500 times. The probe has strong selectivity for OCl, low detection limit 2.709 μM, non-toxicity to cells, good permeability and can be used for fluorescence imaging of exogenous and endogenous OCl, indicating that CZ-NH has potential biological application value. The probe CZ-NH was characterized by 1H NMR and 13C NMR. In addition, the recognition mechanism of OCl was verified by mass spectrometry and density functional theory (DFT).
