A BODIPY-based fluorescent probe for simultaneous detection of H2O2 and viscosity during the pyroptosis process

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Oct 24;59(85):12775-12778. doi: 10.1039/d3cc03914e.

Abstract

A dual functional BODIPY fluorescent probe was developed for simultaneous detection of H2O2 and viscosity, by collecting fluorescence from 800-1100 nm and 550-750 nm, respectively. Bioimaging based on the probe shows that H2O2 accumulates and cytoplasmic viscosity increases during the palmitic acid (PA)-induced pyroptosis process.
