Abstract: In this study, a fluorescent probe, CDAS, was synthesized to detect reduced glutathione (GSH). CDAS was designed by incorporating triphenylamine as an electron-donating group and a 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl moiety as an electron-withdrawing group, with the response mechanism based on intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). These components were linked through Knoevenagel condensation. The probe exhibited no fluorescence; however, upon interaction with GSH, a nucleophilic substitution reaction occurred between GSH and probe CDAS, significantly enhancing fluorescent intensity at 561 nm. In a mixture of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and acetonitrile (1:1, V/V, 10 mmol·L-1, pH=7.4), CDAS demonstrated a low detection limit of 7.70 μmol·L-1, high selectivity for GSH, and a large Stokes shift of 179 nm. Notably, CDAS can be effectively utilized to detect GSH in human cervical cancer cells (HeLa cells) via fluorescent cell imaging. |
