An Approach for the Selective Detection of Nitric Oxide in Biological Systems: An in vitro and in vivo Perspective.
A naphthalimide based fluorescent probe, LyNP NO, was designed and synthesized for the selective detection of exogenously and endogenously generated nitric oxide (NO) in C6 glial cells. In addition, LyNP NO was also explored for monitoring endogenous NO levels in rat hippocampus at various tissue depths by stimulating the brain with N methyl d aspartate (NMDA)
