Abstract 抽象

Two-photon excitable ( 850 nm ) NIR fluorescent turn-on ( 702 nm ) probe TP-NIR was synthesized for selective detection of cysteine (Cys). The probe itself shows is turned on by reaction with Cys in aqueous buffer. In addition, the probe displays greater selectivity for Cys over other thiols, including glutathione (GSH) and homocysteine (Hcy). Moreover, the large Stokes shift, NIR excitation, and NIR emission make this probe suitable for biological imaging.

Biological tissues strongly scatter visible light, which makes it incredibly difficult to conduct high-resolution and deep tissue imaging. 1 1 ^(1){ }^{1} Fluorophores with long emissions at the nearinfrared (NIR) region from 700 to 1000 nm are promising to address the issues for in vivo imaging, 2 4 2 4 ^(2-4){ }^{2-4} as NIR emission exhibits appealing features including deep tissue penetration, low tissue photodamage, and little autofluorescence interference. 5 10 5 10 ^(5-10){ }^{5-10} A number of cyanine-based dyes reported in the literature possessed strong NIR absorption and emission properties, but their small Stokes shifts (typically 20-50 nm) greatly hampered their application. 11 16 11 16 ^(11-16){ }^{11-16} Two-photon (TP) probe-based fluorescent imaging, an emerging technique, has great potential for deep-tissue imaging with prolonged observation time; however, the majority of the existing TP probes have short emission wavelengths ranging from 380 to 550 nm . 17 550 nm . 17 550nm.^(17)550 \mathrm{~nm} .{ }^{17} To overcome the current problems with deep tissue imaging, an ideal fluorescent probe should have both excitation and emission in the NIR range (NIR-NIR). 18 , 19 18 , 19 ^(18,19){ }^{18,19} Meanwhile a large Stokes shift can highly improve the sensitivity of fluorescence microscopy wherein emission photons can be detected against the background from excitation photons. 11 11 ^(11){ }^{11} Consequently, new probes with the above properties are in great demand.

Recently, Yu et al. reported a biothiols-selective near-infrared fluorescent probe with a large Stoke shift. This probe showed great promise for biological imaging. However, the excitation wavelength is 560 nm , which is not in the NIR range and limit its broader applications. 70 70 ^(70){ }^{70} Herein, we elucidated the features of this probe (named TP-NIR, Scheme 1) using two-photon-excited fluorescence (TPEF), investigated the Cys-triggered process using an in situ 1 H 1 H ^(1)H{ }^{1} \mathrm{H} NMR study, and applied TP-NIR to visualize cells using a multiphoton laser scanning confocal microscope.
