Mitochondrial pH (pHmito) is intimately related to mitochondrial function, and aberrant values for pHmito are linked to several disease states. We report the design, synthesis, and application of mitokyne 1—the first small molecule pHmito sensor for stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy. This ratiometric probe can determine subtle changes in pHmito in response to external stimuli and the inhibition
A highly fluorescent BODIPY-based platform has been designed and allows the stepwise and regioselective introduction of 3 biologically relevant nucleophiles.
