Observation of the generation of peroxynitrite in mouse liver after acetaminophen overdose with a boronate-based ratiometric fluorescence probe†
Abstract
A ratiometric fluorescent probe, BTPB, for the selective monitoring of hepatic peroxynitrite (ONOO−) in situ after acetaminophen (APAP) overdose has been developed. Our study provided direct evidence for supporting the generation of ONOO− in APAP-induced liver injury. This new probe will be a useful tool for studying the roles of ONOO− in vivo.
