Ratiometric fluorescence imaging for distinguishing chloride concentration between normal and ischemic ventricular myocytes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Feb 18;48(15):2077-9. doi: 10.1039/c1cc15258k. Epub 2011 Nov 7.

Abstract

We devised a new ratiometric fluorescent probe for the detection of chloride ions. This synthesized probe was applied to the ventricular myocytes to successfully realize dynamic imaging of Cl(-) concentration fluctuations during the myocardial ischemia course.
