Two coumarin-based fluorescence probes, 1 and 2, containing a methoxy oxalyl group as a reaction site were developed. These two novel probes displayed an instant turn-on fluorescence response specific towards Pi without interference from ATP and PPi. A selective 23-fold increase in fluorescence for 1 (in DMSO HEPES) and a 20-fold increase for 2 (in DMSO) were observed. The proposed sensing mechanism for these compounds is Pi-triggered acetamide bond cleavage leading to release of the blue fluorophore coumarin, which was supported by H-1 NMR and mass spectrometry data. Probe 1 was successfully used to image endogenous and exogenous Pi in living cells and to trace Pi released from ATP by apyrase in Caenorhabditis elegans. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
