摘要:
                                A pyridylvinylene derivative containing piazselenole displayed high selectivity toward glutathione in the presence of other biorelevant analytes. The compound exhibited a 19 run red-shift in absorption spectra and similar to 3-fold fluorescence intensity enhancement: in addition, it was possible to detect micromolar amounts of glutathione quantitatively using both red-shift absorbance and enhanced fluorescence. The mechanism of the reaction between the modified pyridylvinylene derivative and glutathione was confirmed using ESI-MS and absorption/fluorescence spectra. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
