Abstract

Owing to the role of H2S in various biochemical processes and diseases, its accurate detection is a major research goal. Three artificial fluorescent probes based on 9-anthracenecarboxaldehyde derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their anion binding capacity was assessed by UV-Vis titration, fluorescence spectroscopy, HRMS, 1HNMR titration, and theoretical investigations. Although the anion-binding ability of compound 1 was insignificant, two compounds 2 and 3, containing benzene rings, were highly sensitive fluorescent probes for HS- among the various anions studied (HS-, F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, AcO-, H2 PO 4 - , SO 3 2 - , Cys, GSH, and Hcy). This may be explained by the nucleophilic reaction between HS- and the electron-poor C=C double bond. Due to the presence of a nitro group, compound 3, with a nitrobenzene ring, showed stronger anion binding ability than that of compound 2. In addition, compound 1 had a proliferative effect on cells, and compounds 2 and 3 showed low cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cells in the concentration range of 0-150 μg·mL-1. Thus, compounds 2 and 3 can be used as biosensors for the detection of H2S in vivo and may be valuable for future applications.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 June 2018.
All research outputs
#20,520,426
of 23,088,369 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Chemistry
#2,948
of 6,035 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#289,334
of 329,782 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Chemistry
#99
of 162 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,088,369 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,035 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,782 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 162 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
