Abstract

Novel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes for nitric oxide (NO) have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Their NIR fluorescence was increased in an NO concentration-dependent manner under physiological conditions, and their reaction efficiency with NO was at least 53 times higher than that of a widely used NO probe, DAF-2. They were confirmed to function in isolated intact rat kidneys. Because NIR light can penetrate deeply into tissues, these probes may have potential for in vivo NO imaging.
