ROX dyes have a strong red fluorescence.Their excitation and emission wavelengths are longer than those of traditional rhodamine dyes.They are used as labels for peptides, proteins, and other biological ligands.5-ROX, 6-ROx, and their mixture of 5(6) -RoX
HKPerox-1 is a yellow-emitting fluorescent probe with excellent selectivity and sensitivity toward H 2 O 2 . HKPerox-1 can be used for molecular imaging of endogenous H 2 O 2 in living cells.
DPPP is a probe that reacts stoichiometrically with hydroperoxides to yield the fluorescent molecule diphenyl-1-pyrenylphosphine oxide (DPPP-O). Plasma levels of lipid hydroperoxides of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, triglycerides, and cholesteryl esters have been measured by HPLC with a post column detection system using DPPP. DPPP has also been used as a fluorescent probe for the detection of low density lipoprotein and cellular oxidation. Fluorescence of DPPP-O can be monitor using excitation and emission wavelengths of 351 nm and 380 nm, respectively.
5(6)-Carboxy-2’,7’-dichlorofluorescein diacetate is an oxidant-sensitive and cell-permeable fluorescent probe.1Base hydrolysis of the ester bonds by intracellular esterases releases the acetate groups and the resulting compound, 5(6)-carboxy-2’,7’,-dichlorofluorescein, is oxidized by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) and displays excitation emission maxima of 504 and 530 nm, respectively, which can be quantified as a measure of oxidant production. 1.Hempel, S.L., Buettner, G.R., O’Malley, Y.Q., et al.Dihydrofluorescein diacetate is superior for detecting intracellular oxidants: Comparison with 2’,7’-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, 5(and 6)-carboxy-2’,7’-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, and dihydrorhodamine 123Free Radic.

HKOCl-4 (BXY2142) is a rhodol-based yellow fluorescent probe that demonstrates exceptional sensitivity and selectivity in detecting hypochlorous acid. Its absorption wavelength is significantly longer than that of fluorescein-based probes, and it exhibits better pH stability. Notably, HKOCl-4 exhibits excitation at 530 nm and emission at 557 nm.
