Abstract
- Copper is one of the common among the heavy metal pollution in Chinese herbal medicine (CHM). So, it is essential to develop rapid and accurate testing method to quantify the Cu <superscript>2+</superscript> content in CHM. Herein, we prepared a coordination-based near-infrared fluorescent probe (NRh6G-FA) by introducing a hemicyanine dye in rhodamine 6G scaffold. NRh6G-FA had a high sensitivity, anti-interference performance, fast response (within 60 s), visualization (from light yellow to green) for Cu <superscript>2+</superscript> and excellent sensing performance for the detection of Cu <superscript>2+</superscript> at low concentrations (LOD = 0.225 μM). The most likely mechanism was verified on the basis of Job's plot, ESI-HRMS and DFT calculations. NRh6G-FA could be successfully applied for the detection and "naked eye" recognition of Cu <superscript>2+</superscript> in CHM samples. Moreover, NRh6G-FA was used to visualize Cu <superscript>2+</superscript> in living MCF-7 cells by confocal fluorescence imaging.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2024.
