Abstract

A perylene-based probe was developed for uridine diphosphate (UDP) sensing and cell imaging. The probe presented about 4-fold fluorescence enhancement in the presence or absence of 100 equiv UDP. The selectivity toward UDP over other phosphor-containing anions was observed. The selective UDP sensing was speculated to be related to the binding affinities of Zn2+ ions in sensor with the uridine and phosphate moieties of UDP. Furthermore, this probe was also applied to image of UDP in living cells.
