Direct Detection of Nitroxyl in Aqueous Solution Using a Tripodal Copper(II) BODIPY Complex

摘要

Nitric oxide (NO) mediates both physiological and pathological processes. In addition to cardiovascular signaling, NO has been invoked to play a neurochemical role in learning and memory, and it is a powerful necrotic agent wielded by macrophages of the immune system. Whereas considerable effort has been invested to develop metal-based and other probes for detecting nitric oxide, there has been significantly less progress in the synthesis of platforms capable of detecting other reactive nitrogen species (RNS).
