Fluorescent turn-on probes have been extensively used in disease diagnosis and research on pathological disease mechanisms because of their low background interference. Hydrogen peroxide (H
2 O2 ) plays a vital role in regulating various cellular functions. In the current study, a fluorescent probe, HCyB, based on hemicyanine and arylboronate structures, was designed to detect H2 O2 . HCyB reacted with H2 O2 and exhibited a good linear relationship for H2 O2 concentrations ranging from 15 to 50 μM and good selectivity over other species. The fluorescent detection limit was 76 nM. Moreover, HCyB exhibited less toxicity and mitochondrial-targeting abilities. HCyB was successfully used to monitor exogenous or endogenous H2 O2 in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7, human skin fibroblast WS1, breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231, and human leukemia monocytic THP1 cells.
