A selective fluorescent probe for the detection of mercury (II) in aqueous media and its applications in living cells
摘要:
In this Letter we present a new probe, 2-amino-3-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)propyl 2-(7-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)acetate (PMR), which can reversibly detect mercuric ions (Hg2+) in HEPES buffer under physiological conditions. Possible interference with other analytes was examined. PMR displays a highly selective decrease of its fluorescence at 460 nm when it reacts with Hg2+. Interestingly, the probe can also be used as a fluorescent turn-on sensor for biologically relevant thiols such as glutathione and cysteine. PMR can be used to determine mercury in living cells.

Discovery two potent and new inhibitors of 15-lipoxygenase: (E)-3-((3,4-dihydroxybenzylidene) amino)-7-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one and (E)-O-(4-(((7-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl) imino)methine) phenyl)dimethylcarbamothioate
mechanisms of action and structural determinants of lipoxygenases inhibitors have been explored on several occasions, but many questions remain unanswered, especially about the differences of the inhibition mechanisms and their effect on the selectivity of lipoxygenasesisoenzymes. Thus, REDOX mechanism has been proposed in this research to clarify the lipoxygenases inhibition by coumarins derivates on 15-sLOX
