Naphthalene -Diselenide-Based BODIPY Probe for the Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide, Butylhydroperoxide, Hydroxyl Radical, and Peroxynitrite Ion.

Dimethoxynaphthalene peri-diselenide-based BODIPY (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) probe has been synthesized. The probe demonstrated selectivity and sensitivity for hydrogen peroxide (HO) and butylhydroperoxide (BuOOH), hydroxyl radical (OH), and peroxynitrite ion (ONOO) detection and reversibility upon treatment with glutathione. The limits of detection of the probe were observed to be 0.
