Novel mitochondria-targeted viscosity probe based on a fluorescent rotatable xanthene-hemicyanine dyad

Small Molecular Fluorescent Probes for Imaging of Viscosity in Living Biosystems

“…By combining xanthene and a 4‐methylthiophenylene, Zeng′s group fabricated a new mitochondria‐targeted and viscosity‐responsive fluorescent probe 17 [44] . Probe 17 with large Stokes shift could solely accumulate into mitochondria and indicate the rise of viscosity after stimulation with monensin.…”

A highly sensitive sensor for colorimetric detection of palladium(ii) in lysosomes and its applications

“…HeLa cells were cultured according to our previous methods. 17 The cells were incubated with 0.5 μM BHCy-Pd for 30 minutes and then Pd 2+ (2 μM) was added and incubated for another 30 minutes. For co-localization experiments, BHCy-Pd (0.5 μM) were incubated with a 100 nM Mito-Tracker Green (Mito) and Lyso-Tracker Green (Lyso) for 30 minutes, respectively, and then treated with Pd 2+ (2 μM) for another 30 min.…”

Rational design of a large Stokes shift xanthene–benzothiozolium dyad for probing cysteine in mitochondria

“…Cell culture and fluorescence imaging were performed according to our previous reports. [37][38][39]…”
