The Research Progress of Fluorescent Probes for Detection of Selenols

Abstract:

Selenols (R-SeH) are similar to thiols , both of them are important reducing substance. Selenocysteine (Sec) and hydrogen selenide (H₂Se) are two important selenols. They play a key role in cancer research and disease treatment. Recently, fluorescent probes and nanoprobes for detecting selenols have been developed rapidly because that fluorescent methods can be applied for biological imaging of cells or in vivo. Therefore, it is very important to the detect selenols. In this paper, we summarized the fluorescent probes for detecting the selenols in recent years.
