Endoplasmic reticulum-targetable fluorescent probe for visualizing HClO in EC1 cells

The endoplasmic reticulum is the largest organelle in the cell. Studies have shown that the concentration of HClO is related to many diseases. A new type of probe R1 has positioned to the endoplasmic reticulum. The probe shows good positioning effect, excellent selectivity and high sensitivity, excellent anti-interference, and can quickly reach the response platform. The obvious color change can be used for naked eye observation. Due to its low cytotoxicity, probe R1 was successfully used for EC1 cells imaging under a laser scanning confocal microscope.
