The development of a new triggered-release system for selective detection catecholamines in biological samples including living cells is reported. Catecholamines are class tightly regulated hormones and neurotransmitters the human body their dysregulation implicated various neurodegenerative diseases. It highly challenging to selectively sense detect complex environment due small size, non-specific molecular shape trivial chemical properties. In this study, copper-based,...
Abstract Ascorbate is an important biological reductant and enzyme cofactor. Although direct detection through ascorbate‐mediated reduction possible, this approach suffers from poor selectivity due to the wide range of cellular reducing agents. To overcome limitation, we leverage potential ascorbate mediate a copper‐mediated oxidative bond cleavage ether‐caged fluorophores. The copper(II) complexes supported by {bis(2‐pyridylmethyl)}benzylamine or {bis(2‐pyridylmethyl)}(2‐methoxybenzyl)amine...
