Synthesis, binding ability, and cell cytotoxicity of fluorescent probes for<scp>l</scp>-arginine detection based on naphthalene derivatives: Experiment and theory
functional groups of chemical modification can provide efficient detection method of aminoacids. Therefore, we have designed and prepared 4 compounds based on Schiff base derivatives involving ─NO2, ─OH, and naphthyl group. Results indicated that compound 4 containing 2 nitro groups showed strong sensitivity and high selectivity for arginine (Arg) among normal 18 kinds of standard aminoacids (alanine
