“…Liver is the largest digestive gland in animals and the largest organ in the abdominal cavity. It plays diverse physiological functions, including regulation of glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis, hormone production, and detoxification of various metabolites [1][2][3]. Nitric oxide (NO) originally identified as endotheliumderived relaxing factor in 1987, also participates in physiological functions of the liver, such as improving vascular endothelial to relax, killing bacteria, fungi and cancer cells, and protecting the liver [4,5].…”

Precise measurement of nitric oxide (NO) is of great importance to understand the function of NO in liver and the mechanism of liver injury. 8-(3',4'-Diamino phenyl)-3,5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-dimethylene pyrrole (BOPB), a fluorescent probe in the red region (>600 nm) newly developed in our group, has good photostability and excitation/emission wavelength of 622/643 nm matching well with commercial 635 nm semiconductor laser of CE-LIF detection. Therefore, BOPB was used in CE-LIF for the determination of NO in mice liver. Both derivatization and separation conditions were optimized. Derivatization reaction of BOPB and NO was carried out in pH 7.4 PBS buffer at 35°C for 12 min and the separation of NO derivative of BOPB (BOPB-T) was achieved within 7.0 min in pH 9.0 running buffer containing 15 mM H3 BO3 -NaOH and 15 mM SDS. Good linearity was found in the range of 1.0 × 10(-9) -5.0 × 10(-7) M with the LOD of 0.02 nM. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of NO in real samples, and NO concentration was obviously increased in acute liver injury of mice. Compared to existing derivatization-based CE-LIF methods for NO, this method has lower LOD and less background interference owing to detection wavelength of BOPB in the red region.
