  • Description: Accurate detection of H[sub.2]S is crucial to understanding the occurrence and development of H[sub.2]S-related diseases. However, the accurate and sensitive detection of H[sub.2]S in vivo still faces great challenges due to the characteristics of H[sub.2]S diffusion and short half-life. Herein, we report a H[sub.2]S-activatable ratiometric near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence liposome nanoprobe HS-CG by the thin-film hydration method. HS-CG shows “always on” fluorescence signal at 816 nm and low fluorescence signal at 728 nm; the NIR fluorescence ratio between 728 and 816 nm (F[sub.728]/F[sub.816]) is low. Upon reaction with H[sub.2]S, the fluorescence at 728 nm could be more rapidly turned on due to strong electrostatic interaction between enriched HS[sup.−] and positively charged 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) doped in the liposome nanoprobe HS-CG, resulting in a large enhancement of F[sub.728]/F[sub.816], which allows for sensitive visualization of the tumor H[sub.2]S levels in vivo. This study demonstrates that this strategy of electrostatic adsorption between HS[sup.−] and positively charged molecules provides a new way to enhance the reaction rate of the probe and H[sub.2]S, thus serving as an effective platform for improving the sensitivity of imaging.
