In this area, fluorescent probes have shown great advantages: fast and strong response, low detection limit and easy manipulation. Here we developed a new fluorescent probe that detected H2S selectively among various bioactive and inorganic salts. This probe was based on the core structure of fluorescein and reacted with H2S through azide-reduction. Great linearity was achieved correlating fluorescence intensity and H2S concentrations in solution. The detection of H2S in cancer cells was also achieved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules28176195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,23]],"date-time":"2023-08-23T08:20:30Z","timestamp":1692778830000},"page":"6195","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["A New Fluorescent Probe for Hydrogen Sulfide Detection in Solution and Living Cells"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1867-8675","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Feng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy, Guizhou Medical University, Guiyang 550025, China"},{"name":"BGI-Shenzhen, Shenzhen 518038, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9383-4052","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qicai","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmaceutical Sciences (Shenzhen), Sun Yat-sen University, Shenzhen 510006, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Basic Medicine, Guizhou Medical University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanyong","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy, Guizhou Medical University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1066","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.16-03-01066.1996","article-title":"The possible role of hydrogen sulfide as an endogenous neuromodulator","volume":"16","author":"Abe","year":"1996","journal-title":"J.
