The invention belongs to the technical field of analysis
chemistry and relates to a
copper ion fluorescence probe and a synthetic method of the
copper ion fluorescence probe. The
copper ion fluorescence probe disclosed by the invention has a chemical name of 8-[di(2-picolyl)amine-3-benzyl]-4, 4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-
boron-3a, 4a-dipyrrole (called
BODIPY-DPA for short). The synthetic method of the copper ion fluorescence probe comprises the steps of: mixing 2, 4-dimethylpyrrole with 3-chloromethyl
benzoyl chloride, then adding CH2Cl2 into the mixture, then adding
boron trifluoride for reaction, and then orderly adding di(2-picoly)amine and
triethylamine for reaction, at last, obtaining the copper ion fluorescence probe. The
BODIPY-DPA shows light yellow in the solution, has high fluorescence emission at 590 nm, can enter HepG-2 to show green fluorescence imaging, and has a lowest limit of detection of 2.78 muM on copper ions in water solution. The copper ion fluorescence probe prepared by the synthetic method is characterized in
low toxicity and the inhibition rate of 100 muM of HepG-2 is smaller than 10%, so the copper ion fluorescence probe can be used for detection of
living cell imaging and copper irons in the
cell, and has a very good application prospect in environment monitoring and detection of copper irons in a biologic
system.
