Abstract
A resorufin-based dual-locked fluorescent probe (RHT) was introduced to image melanoma cells selectively. RHT was shown to function as an AND molecular logic gate as it emitted a signal only in the presence of both hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and tyrosinase (Tyr), which are known to be overexpressed in melanoma cells. In vitro cell culture studies revealed that RHT can be activated with endogenous H2S and Tyr and allows selective imaging of B16-F10 cancer cells under confocal microscopy. RHT marks the first ever example of a fluorescent probe that is sequentially activated by H2S and Tyr.
