Abstract
The present invention, belonging to the technical field of biological imaging, discloses a photo-activatable aggregation-induced emission probe with in-situ generation capability, a preparation method therefor and an application thereof. The preparation method is as follows: A bis(2-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)aryl disulfide compound is reacted with thiol to obtain a photo-activatable aggregation-induced emission probe, which has a structure as shown in formula III. In the present invention, the photo-activatable aggregation-induced emission probe is aggregated into a specific organelle, and a 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole compound having the aggregation-induced emission property is generated through a photo-oxidation reaction. The photo-activatable aggregation-induced emission probe generated in situ of the present invention can effectively overcome the defects of aggregation-induced quenching of traditional fluorescent dyes, and realize organelle-targeted specific photo-activatable fluorescence imaging in living cells, having such advantages as easy preparation, long-term storage, high photo-activation efficiency, large Stokes shift, and strong ability to enter cells.
