The invention discloses a two-
photon deep red emission fluorescent probe for imaging
cell membranes in tissues based on molecular rotors. The chemical name of the two-
photon deep red emission fluorescent probe is N,N-di((4-(2(minute)-(4(second)-dodecyl)
pyridine-4(second)
iodide)
ethylene)phenyl)phenylamine, and a chemical structural general formula is as shown in a formula (I). The invention also discloses application of the two-
photon deep red emission fluorescent probe in marking or displaying
cell membrane forms in the tissues and in living cells. A test verifies that the two-photon deep red emission fluorescent probe can be used for uniformly and continuously
dyeing the
cell membranes, bright two-photon deep
red light can be emitted after the two-photon deep red emission fluorescent probe is bound to high-
viscosity cell membranes because the two-photon deep red emission fluorescent probe is a rotor type molecule, the two-photon deep red emission fluorescent probe is indicated to have a very good prospect by being used as a
cell membrane fluorescent probe, and the blank of a
cell membrane probe in
tissue imaging is hopefully to be filled; meanwhile, the two-photon deep red emission fluorescent probe has the characteristics that the application range is wide, the light stability is good, the
cytotoxicity is low, and the cell membranes can be specifically imaged in the living cells.
