A Turn-on Fluorometric Sensor for Al3+ in Aqueous Medium with Cell Imaging Application

doi:10.7517/j.issn.1674-0475.2018.02.007

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the inhibition of C=N isomerization and chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF), the simple Schiff base 1-(2-pyridylmethyleneimino) naphthalen-2-ol (L) acts as an effective fluorometric sensor for Al³⁺ in buffered semi-aqueous medium. L exhibited selective fluorescence enhancement upon binding Al³⁺as a detection response, which giving strong blue emission (438 nm). The sensitivity of the fluorescent based assay (80.5 nmol/L) for Al³⁺ is far below the limit recommended in the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for drinking water (7.41 μmol/L). L was successfully applied to detect intracellular Al³⁺ in human SiHa cells through fluorescence microscopic imaging. The interaction between the sensor and Al³⁺ has been investigated in detail by NMR and HRMS analysis.

Key words: Schiff base, fluorescence probe, detection, Al³⁺, cell imaging
