Abstract

We designed and prepared the imidazoline-2-thione containing OCl probes, PIS and NIS, which operate through specific reactions with OCl that yield corresponding fluorescent imidazolium ions. Importantly, we demonstrated that PIS can be employed to image OCl generation in macrophages in a co-culture system. We have also employed two-photon microscopy and PIS to image OCl in live cells and tissues, indicating that this probe could have wide biological applications.
