Abstract

Abstract : NAP-FAD-1 is a pH-sensitive smart formaldehyde donor with fluorescence turn-on readout for facile tracking and quantification of formaldehyde release. Abstract : A naphthalimide-aminal-based fluorescent donor (NAP-FAD-1 ) is a pH-sensitive smart donor, which features accelerated FA release at pH 5.0 compared to that at pH 7.4 and fluorescence turn-on readout for facile tracking and quantification of FA release. Confocal imaging studies of HeLa cells co-incubated with Lyso-Tracker Red suggested that its FA release is lysosome-targeted.
