A ratiometric fluorescent probe for the detection of hydroxyl radicals in living cells

Abstract

A naphthalimide–naphthyridine derivative has been synthesized for the detection of hydroxyl radicals. It can distinguish hydroxyl radicals from other reactive oxygen species with high selectivity and short response time. Moreover, it has no cellular toxicity, and can be effectively used for intracellular detection of hydroxyl radicals.
