Provided is a two-photon fluorescent probe, and more particularly, a two-photon fluorescent probe which is one or more selected from compounds represented by Formulae 1 and 2, a method for manufacturing the same, and an imaging method of zinc ions within the mitochondrion using the same. Since two probes are introduced into one molecule, the two-photon fluorescent probe of the present invention can selectively dye the mitochondria, simultaneously with reacting with zinc ions, thereby generating intense fluorescence. Thus, the two-photon fluorescent probe of the present invention can be used for the imaging of zinc ion distribution and activation within the mitochondrion in living cells or intact biological tissues.
本发明提供了一种双光子荧光探针,更具体地说,提供了一种由式1和式2所表示的化合物中选择一个或多个的双光子荧光探针、其制造方法以及使用该探针进行线粒体内锌离子成像的方法。由于将两个探针引入到一个分子中,本发明的双光子荧光探针可以选择性地染色线粒体,并与锌离子反应,从而产生强烈的荧光。因此,本发明的双光子荧光探针可用于活细胞或完整生物组织中线粒体内锌离子分布和激活的成像。
