Fluorescence imaging of selenol in HepG2 cell apoptosis induced by Na2SeO3

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Feb 21;51(15):3102-5. doi: 10.1039/c4cc06359g.

Abstract

A novel fluorescence probe (HB) has been designed and synthesized to image selenol in living cells and in vivo for the first time, and used to investigate the Na2SeO3 anticancer mechanism in HepG2 cells.
