Wu Z, Xu N, Zhang D, Liu H, Li L, Wang F, Ren J, Wang E. A mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe for discrimination of biothiols by dual-channel imaging in living cells and zebrafish. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 322:124846. [PMID: 39059262 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Biothiols, including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), play distinct yet crucial roles in various mitochondrial physiological activities. However, due to their similar chemical structures, distinguishing and detecting Cys/Hcy/GSH poses a considerable challenge. In this study, we developed a dual-channel, mitochondrial-targeted fluorescent probe termed QX-NBD, designed specifically for discriminating Cys/Hcy from GSH. The incorporation of a quinolinium group endowed the probe with excellent mitochondrial targeting capabilities. This functionality arose from the positively charged group's ability to selectively bind to negatively charged mitochondrial membranes through electrostatic interactions. Additionally, the ether bond between 4-chloro-7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole and the near-infrared fluorophore QX-OH rendered the probe susceptible to nucleophilic attack by biothiols. Upon the introduction of Cys/Hcy, the probe exhibited dual fluorescence emissions in red and green. Conversely, the presence of GSH resulted in only red fluorescence emission. The detection limits of the probe for Cys and Hcy at 542 nm in buffer solution were determined to be 0.044 μM and 0.042 μM, respectively. Similarly, the detection limit for all these biothiols was 0.028 μM at 678 nm. Furthermore, the response times for Cys/Hcy/GSH were recorded as 4.0 min, 5.5 min, and 9.5 min, respectively. Moreover, the probe was employed to monitor fluctuations in biothiol levels during oxidative stress in both HeLa cells and zebrafish, demonstrating its applicability and utility in biological contexts.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is not only a well-established toxic gas but also an important small molecule bioregulator in all kingdoms of life. In contemporary biology, H2S is often classified as a "gasotransmitter," meaning that it is an endogenously produced membrane permeable gas that carries out essential cellular processes. Fluorescent probes for H2S and related reactive sulfur species (RSS) detection provide an important cornerstone for investigating the multifaceted roles of these important small molecules in complex biological systems. A now common approach to develop such tools is to develop "activity-based probes" that couple a specific H2S-mediated chemical reaction to a fluorescent output. This Review covers the different types of such probes and also highlights the chemical mechanisms by which each probe type is activated by specific RSS. Common examples include reduction of oxidized nitrogen motifs, disulfide exchange, electrophilic reactions, metal precipitation, and metal coordination. In addition, we also outline complementary activity-based probes for imaging reductant-labile and sulfane sulfur species, including persulfides and polysulfides. For probes highlighted in this Review, we focus on small molecule systems with demonstrated compatibility in cellular systems or related applications. Building from breadth of reported activity-based strategies and application, we also highlight key unmet challenges and future opportunities for advancing activity-based probes for H2S and related RSS.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is closely linked to not only environmental hazards, but also it affects human health due to its toxic nature and the exposure risks associated with several occupational settings. Therefore, detection of this pollutant in water sources has garnered immense importance in the analytical research arena. Several research groups have devoted great efforts to explore the selective as well as sensitive methods to detect H2S concentrations in water. Recent studies describe different strategies for sensing this ubiquitous gas in real-life water samples. Though many of the designed and developed H2S detection approaches based on the use of organic small molecules facilitate qualitative/quantitative detection of the toxic contaminant in water, optical detection has been acknowledged as one of the best, attributed to the simple, highly sensitive, selective, and good repeatability features of the technique. Therefore, this review is an attempt to offer a general perspective of easy-to-use and fast response optical detection techniques for H2S, fluorimetry and colorimetry, over a wide variety of other instrumental platforms. The review affords a concise summary of the various design strategies adopted by various researchers in constructing small organic molecules as H2S sensors and offers insight into their mechanistic pathways. Moreover, it collates the salient aspects of optical detection techniques and highlights the future scope for prospective exploration in this field based on the limitations of the existing H2S probes.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important gasotransmitter, but only a few methods are available for real-time detection. Fluorescent probes are attractive tools for biological applications because of their high sensitivity, convenience, rapid implementation, noninvasive monitoring capability, and simplicity in fluorescent imaging of living cells and tissues. Herein, we report on a pro-fluorescent probe, NAP-Py-N3 based on naphthalimide derivative, which was found to show high selectivity toward H2S over various other analytes, including biothiols, making it feasible to detect H2S. After reaction with H2S, this probe showed rapid and significant turn-on green fluorescent enhancement at 553 nm (about 54-fold, k2 = 9.62 M-1s-1), high sensitivity (LOD: 15.5 nM), significant Stokes shift (118 nm), and it was found that the fluorescence quantum yield of fluorescence product can reach 0.36. Moreover, the probe has also been successfully applied to detect the gaseous H2S and to confirm the presence of H2S released from modern organic donors, which in recent years have been commonly used to investigate the role of H2S in biological systems. All the results indicate that this probe is excellent and highly valuable.

Abstract
Excessive oxidative stress is the main cause of neurotransmitter metabolism disorder in the brain with depression. Lysosomal hypobromic acid (HOBr) is an important reactive oxygen species produced in oxidative stress. Its abnormal content can lead to macromolecular damage and neurodegenerative diseases. However, due to the high reactivity and low concentration of HOBr and the lack of in situ imaging methods, the role of HOBr in depression is not clear. Herein, based on the HOBr-initiated aromatic substitution of a tertiary amine, we developed a novel two-photon (TP) fluorescence probe (NH-HOBr) for real-time visual monitoring of trace HOBr in living systems. NH-HOBr introduces N-(2-aminoethyl)-morpholine as a new recognition receptor for HOBr and a targeting group for lysosomes. It not only has excellent selectivity compared with other biomolecules (including hypochlorous acid), fast response (≤5 s) and high sensitivity (LOD = 15 nM) but also realizes sensitive detection of HOBr in cells, zebrafish, and mice tissues. It is worth noting that the in situ TP fluorescence imaging of mouse brain reveals the positive correlation between HOBr content and depression phenotype for the first time, providing strong direct evidence for the relationship between oxidative stress and depression. This work can provide reference to further study depression and the pathological mechanism of HOBr. In addition, HOBr-initiated aromatic substitution of a tertiary amine provides a new idea for the construction of specific and sensitive HOBr probes.

A bifunctional fluorescent probe based on PET & ICT for simultaneously recognizing Cys and H 2S in living cells. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2022; 230:112441.

Abstract
Most reported probes that respond to Cysteine (Cys) and Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can only identify one analyte, or they were interfered with homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) when recognizing Cys and H2S. In addition, nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) ether, as one of thiols recognition sites, inevitably encounters the situation that Cys, GSH and H2S cannot be distinguished on the same channel at the cellular level. In this work, by introducing NBD ether and NBD amine, we constructed a bifunctional fluorescent probe NJB for dual-site response to Cys and H2S via PET & ICT processes. NJB has wonderful selectivity for identifying Cys and HS-, with limits of detection as low as 58.4 nM and 81.1 nM, respectively. Interestingly, NJB has been successfully applied to detect Cys and HS- in MCF-7 cells. Therefore, the probe that serves as a great tool for inquiring the physiological and pathological functions of Cys and H2S in living cells is promising.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) have recently been reported as an attractive target for cancer diagnosis and treatment, owing to their special structure or microenvironment changes in cancer development and resistance. However, the relationship between the biothiol level of LDs and cancer is still poorly understood, partially owing to the absence of effective molecular tools. Herein, we developed a LD-targetable and biothiol-sensitive fluorescent probe, BTDA-RSS, by introducing 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) as the biothiol reaction group into a benzothiazolyl derivative. BTDA-RSS displayed a marked and rapid fluorescence turn-on response toward biothiols, due to the biothiol-triggered cleavage of DNBS to yield the highly fluorescent benzothiazolyl iminocoumarin BTDA. In addition, the probe shows significant LD-targetable ability, and has been applied for imaging endogenous/exogenous biothiol changes in LDs. Importantly, BTDA-RSS has successfully been utilized to distinguish cancerous cells/tissues from normal cells/tissues with excellent contrast. Surprisingly, we demonstrated for the first time the visualization of LD biothiols in surgical specimens from cancer patients, thereby holding great potential for the application of BTDA-RSS in the clinical diagnosis of human cancers.

Abstract
When the cell environment changes or is stimulated, the Golgi apparatus will respond to the corresponding stress, through the opening of related pathways, the expression of corresponding substances can be promoted or inhibited to achieve the purpose of controlling cell redox homeostasis and reducing cytotoxicity. Intuitive analysis of the changes in the content of various substances in the process of stress has important guiding value for the further study of stress response, drug evaluation and clinical diagnosis. Therefore, for the Cys overexpressed during the oxidative stress of the Golgi apparatus, we developed a specific and sensitive fluorescent probe (Gol-NCS) to visually monitor the biologically important Cys in real time. The probe has low cytotoxicity and shows great potential in cell and zebrafish imaging, it can detect the changes of endogenous and exogenous cysteine. It is important to explore the synthetic pathway of Cys during Golgi stress by using the Golgi targeting performance of the probe Gol-NCS. It is confirmed by fluorescence imaging for the first time that the activity of CSE enzyme plays a decisive role in the formation of Cys. Therefore, probe Gol-NCS with excellent photochemical properties is expected to provide help for the research on the involvement of Cys in Golgi stress.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide and biothiol molecules such as Cys and GSH acted important roles in many physiological processes. To simultaneously detect and distinguish them was quite necessary by a suitable fluorescent probe. A novel chemosensor 4-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-methoxyphenoxy)-7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole (BMNO) was designed to detect H2S/Cys/GSH using the combination of nitrobenzofurazan (NBD) and benzothiazole fluorophores linked by a facile ether bond. The probe BMNO was developed for simultaneous identification of H2S, Cys and GSH. Noticeably, the color changes (from colorless to light purple, light orange and light yellow) of probe BMNO solutions for sensing H2S, Cys and GSH could be observed by naked eyes, respectively. The probe BMNO exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for H2S, Cys and GSH showing distinct optical signal with detection limit as low as 0.15 μM, 0.03 μM and 0.14 μM, respectively. The sensing mechanism was clarified by spectrum analysis and some controlled experiments. In addition, these outstanding properties of probe BMNO enabled its practical applications in detection H2S in beer, and in cell imaging for Cys and GSH as well.

Abstract
Compounds with a nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) skeleton exhibit prominent useful properties including environmental sensitivity, high reactivity toward amines and biothiols (including H2S) accompanied by distinct colorimetric and fluorescent changes, fluorescence-quenching ability, and small size, all of which facilitate biomolecular sensing and self-assembly. Amines are important biological nucleophiles, and the unique activity of NBD ethers with amines has allowed for site-specific protein labelling and for the detection of enzyme activities. Both H2S and biothiols are involved in a wide range of physiological processes in mammals, and misregulation of these small molecules is associated with numerous diseases including cancers. In this review, we focus on NBD-based synthetic probes as advanced chemical tools for biomolecular sensing. Specifically, we discuss the sensing mechanisms and selectivity of the probes, the design strategies for multi-reactable multi-quenching probes, and the associated biological applications of these important constructs. We also highlight self-assembled NBD-based probes and outline future directions for NBD-based chemosensors. We hope that this comprehensive review will facilitate the development of future probes for investigating and understanding different biological processes and aid the development of potential theranostic agents.

Abstract
The core-shell NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaGdF4:Yb,Nd upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were successfully obtained with the method of co-precipitation, and the water-solubility of UCNPs was improved by the ligand exchange reaction between nitrosyl tetrafluoroborate (NOBF4) and nanoparticles. The IR-783 dye with negative charge and NOBF4-UCNPs with positive charge can bind together by electrostatic action to sensitize UCNPs through the energy transfer from IR-783 to UCNPs. However, with the presence of Na2S (a commonly used H2S donor), a highly selective reaction between H2S and IR-783, which destoried the structure of IR-783 and blocked the energy transfer, thus led to the quenching of luminescent intensity. Based on this, a sensing system for determination of H2S has been constructed successfully. The linear range of H2S detection by this system is 0.5-15 μM, and the detection limit is 34.17 nM. Furthermore, the dye-sensitized core-shell NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaGdF4:Yb,Nd upconversion nanoprobe was applied to real sample analysis with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn, n ≥ 2) is recently regarded as a potential signaling molecule which shows a higher efficiency than hydrogen sulfides (H2S) in regulating enzymes and ion channels. However, the development of specific fluorescent probes for H2Sn with long-wavelength emission (>600 nm) are still rare. In this work, a semi-naphthorhodafluor-based red-emitting fluorescent probe SNARF-H2Sn containing a phenyl 2-(benzoylthio) benzoate responsive unit was constructed. SNARF-H2Sn was capable of selectively detecting H2Sn over other reactive sulfur species. Treatment with H2Sn would result in a > 1000-fold fluorescence enhancement within 10 min. SNARF-H2Sn showed a low limit of detection down to 6.7 nM, and further enabled to visualize exogenous/endogenous H2Sn in living A549 cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) and reactive selenium species (RSeS) are important substances for the maintenance of physiological balance. Imbalance of RSS and RSeS is closely related to a series of human diseases, so it is considered to be an important biomarker in early diagnosis, treatment, and stage monitoring. Fast and accurate quantitative analysis of different RSS and RSeS in complex biological systems may promote the development of personalized diagnosis and treatment in the future. One way to explore the physiological function of various types of RSS and RSeS in vivo is to detect them at the molecular level, and one of the most effective methods for this is to use fluorescent probes. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions are commonly exploited as a detection mechanism for RSS and RSeS in fluorescent probes. In this review, we cover recent progress in fluorescent probes for RSS and RSeS based on SNAr reactions, and discuss their response mechanisms, properties, and applications. Benzenesulfonate, phenyl-O ether, phenyl-S ether, phenyl-Se ether, 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD), benzoate, and selenium-nitrogen bonds are all good detection groups. Moreover, based on an integration of different reports, we propose the design and synthesis of RSS- and RSeS-selective probes based on SNAr reactions, current challenges, and future research directions, considering the selection of active sites, the effect of substituents on the benzene ring, and the introduction of other functional groups.

Abstract
A new colorimetric and fluorescence probe NRSH based on Nile-red chromophore for the detection of biothiols has been developed, exhibiting high selectivity towards biothiols over other interfering species. NRSH shows a blue shift in absorption peak upon reacting with biothiols, from 587 nm to 567 nm, which induces an obvious color change from blue to pink and exhibits a 35-fold fluorescence enhancement at 645 nm in red emission range. NRSH displays rapid (<1 min) response for H2S, which is faster than other biothiols (>5 min). The detection limits of probe NRSH towards biothiols are very low (22.05 nM for H2S, 34.04 nM for Cys, 107.28 nM for GSH and 113.65 nM for Hcy). Furthermore, NRSH is low cytotoxic and can be successfully applied as a bioimaging tool for real-time monitoring biothiols in HeLa cells. In addition, fluorescence mechanism of probe NRSH is further understood by theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Copper ion plays an important role in many biological processes in human body. H2S is considered as the third gasses transmitter after carbon monoxide and nitric oxide. Here a novel ICT-based fluorescent ON-OFF-ON probe for Cu2+ and H2S detection was developed. Selectivity and sensitivity of probe was confirmed in aqueous Tris-HCl buffer (10 mM, pH 7.4, containing 90% acetonitrile). Probe DF-CU shows high selectivity over other analytes. The degree of fluorescence quenching is linearly associated with the concentration of Cu2+ (R2 = 0.9919). The limit of detection (LOD, calculated according to the 3σ/slope) for Cu2+ was 6.4 μM. Probe can work in almost all pH. The probe shows a very fast response to Cu2+ (within 10 s). Its response to copper ion could be reversed by H2S. The complex of probe with Cu2+ could be used for H2S detection. Furthermore, this ON-OFF-ON fluorescent probe successfully applied in the living cells for the detection of Cu2+ and H2S.

Abstract
In recent years, targeting drugs made by physical loading or chemical bonding of drugs on small molecular carriers have shown a very wide application prospect in the field of tumor and cancer treatment. How to achieve the release of drugs in cancer cells has become the core of this research. One of the most important bases for drug localization is to use the difference of small molecular biothiol concentration between cancer cells and normal cells. Details of the changes of biothiol levels in the growth and reproduction of cancer cells are still poorly understood, and the main reason is the lack of sensitive real-time imaging tools for biothiols in cancer cells. In this work, we reasonably designed and synthesized the combination of 4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalimide and NBD-Cl as a concise fluorescent probe HN-NBD for imaging biothiols in live cells and zebrafish. In addition, due to the advantages of HN-NBD design, it is sufficiently sensitive to biothiols, and further imaging can distinguish cancer cells from normal cells. Probe HN-NBD would be of great significance to biomedical researchers for the study of biothiol-related diseases, the screening of new anticancer drugs, and the early diagnosis and treatment of cancers.

Abstract
Biological thiols including homocysteine (Hcy), cysteine (Cys), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and glutathione (GSH) play crucial roles in various pathological and physiological processes. The development of optical probes for biothiols has been an active research area in recent years. Herein, a new turn-on fluorescence probe (HD-NBD) was designed and synthesized by fusing tetrahydro[5]helicene and 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) for simultaneous discrimination of Hcy/Cys, H2S and GSH in aqueous solution. This probe is able to show unique absorbance enhancement at 548 nm for H2S and additional fluorescence enhancement at 536 nm only for Cys/Hcy, which can be used to discriminate H2S, Cys/Hcy and GSH simultaneously. In addition, HD-NBD also shows low background without any self-fluorescence, as well as high selectivity toward common biothiols. The low detection limits of this probe are about 0.15 μM for Hcy with a wide linear range (1-80 μM), 0.36 μM for Cys (linear range: 1-45 μM), 0.79 μM for H2S (linear range: 1-80 μM) and 4.44 μM for GSH (linear range: 1-60 μM). Moreover, HD-NBD can identify Hcy/Cys, H2S from GSH and other amino acids with high sensitivity and selectivity, therefore it could be used for detecting endogenous and exogenous Hcy/Cys under biological condition.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide shows great importance in various physiological and biochemical processes. The development of fluorescence probes for facile and efficient detection of H2S has attracted increasing attention of researchers. Herein, we synthesized two fluorescence probes based on simple naphthalene structure for detection of H2S. Upon reaction with H2S, the probe DN-DM exhibited a red fluorescence emission with large Stokes shift. The probe showed high sensitivity, pH insensitivity and good selectivity for H2S over other analytes including common biothiols. The detection mechanism was based on the thiolysis of the dinitrophenyl ether moiety, which was confirmed by 1H NMR spectral analysis. The DFT calculation was also performed for a deeper understanding of the photophysical properties. In addition, these probes showed good cell-membrane permeability and could be utilized for detection of H2S in living cells.

Abstract
Small molecular biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), reduced glutathione (GSH), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), play crucial parts in regulating the redox balance of life activities, regulating normal physiological activities and preventing various diseases. Quantitative analysis of these important small molecular substances is very important for revealing their diverse physiological and pathological effects. Although many fluorescent probes have been reported to detect biothiols in cells, it is still not sufficiently advanced to detect biothiols with separated fluorescence emission peak by same wavelength excitation. In our work, we designed a simple conjugate of Nile red and NBD (7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole) as long-wavelength fluorescent probe NR-NBD for the simultaneous discrimination of these biothiols at single wavelength excitation. Probe NR-NBD could efficiently discriminate Cys/Hcy, GSH and H2S by two separated fluorescence emission channels and absorption spectra. Importantly, probe NR-NBD has excellent specificity and sensitivity towards the monitoring of endogenous/exogenous Cys/Hcy and GSH/H2S in living cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Intracellular GSH is the most abundant non-protein biothiol and acts as a central antioxidant to defend against aging toxins and radicals. Meanwhile abnormal level of intracellular GSH concentration is directly related to some diseases. In this case, detecting intracellular GSH rapidly and sensitively is of great significance. We synthesize a simple fluorescent probe (named GP) which can discriminate GSH from Cys (cysteine) or Hcy (homocysteine) and presents a 50-fold fluorescence increasing. The response time of GP to GSH was only 5 min and the product GO (the product of GP after reacting with GSH) after reacting with GSH possesses a larger Stokes shift for 135 nm than that in reported work. Probe GP can detect intracellular effectively and shows obvious yellow fluorescence. Briefly, probe GP can detect intracellular GSH rapidly and effectively both in vitro and in living cells.

Abstract
In this paper, we designed a new quantitative and qualitive detection method for biothiols by using fluorescence method and resonance light scattering (RLS) technique. Nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots (C/N-dots) were obtained from tartaric acid and ethylenediamine by hydrothermal method, and then their morphology and optical properties were characterized by different techniques. A detection system consisting of C/N-dots and Ag+ complex was established. In this system, C/N-dots possessed the photoluminescent property and the Ag+ complex owned the RLS property, so, by combining the two luminescent properties to achieve complementary advantages, we could detect biothiols and solve the problem of distinguishing between Cys and GSH. Additionally, we optimized detecting conditions and investigated the detection mechanism of fluorescence quenching and RLS detecting. Results showed that the analytical response of fluorescence was linear in the range 0–140 μM and the detection limit (LOD) was calculated to be 6.6 μM for Cys, and the addition of GSH had no effect on fluorescence. RLS response ranges were 0–167 μM for Cys and 0–200 μM for GSH, with LOD down to 64 nM and 74 nM, respectively. Furthermore, the probe was successfully used for detecting Cys in fetal bovine serum (FBS) samples by fluorescence method, and also, by RLS technique, the content of GSH in FBS samples was detected.

Abstract
H2S is an important endogenous gasotransmitter, and its detection in living systems is of great significance. Especially, selective and sensitive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent H2S probes with rapid response and large Stokes shift are highly desirable because of their superiority for in vivo detection. Probes with nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) ether as reaction sites have been well-explored recently to detect biothiols or H2S/biothiols simultaneously, rather than to detect H2S selectively. In this work, a new NBD ether-based NIR fluorescent probe was developed, which was unexpectedly found to show high selectivity for H2S over various other analytes including biothiols, making it practical for specific detection of H2S both in vitro and in vivo. Upon response to H2S, this probe showed rapid and significant turn-on NIR emission changes centered at 744 nm within 3 min, together with a remarkable large Stokes shift (166 nm) and high sensitivity (LOD: 26 nM). Moreover, imaging exogenous and endogenous H2S in living cells and rapid imaging of H2S in living mice with this probe was successfully applied with excellent performance.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is of great importance for the environmental monitoring. Near-infrared fluorescent probes are recently developed for the sensitive H2S detection thanks to their low background interference, while often hampered by relatively long response time (around 30 min). In this work, we reported a fast response (within 5 min), highly sensitive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (DCM-OCN) for H2S. The rapid nucleophilic reaction between cyanate moiety and H2S endowed fast response of the NIR probe. The influence of experimental parameters (including CTAB concentration, reaction time, pH value etc.), interference study, and possible mechanism were investigated in detail. The fluorescence increment was linear with H2S concentration in 1-10 μM with a detection limit of 0.28 μM (3σ). The probe was successfully applied to environmental water samples including river water, tap water, lake water, mineral water and artificial wastewater.
