Abstract Fluorescent organic dyes have been widely used for biological chemosensor. There are two types of the fluorescence agents. First, fluorophores can be applied as an imaging tag with specific ligands for endogenous biomolecules. In this case, the fluorophores play crucial roles as a signal generator to track the targets. On the other hands, the probes which changes its fluorescent intensity or color according to condition of analytes have a high potential as a biosensor. We interested in latter case of novel fluorescence chemosensors for biomolecules and studying the mode of actions. We prepared dansyl library using combinatorial chemistry. 48-membered dansyl probes were screened to various kinds of analytes. Finally, PG-1 and PG-2 were discovered for progesterone sensor. These probes were the first chemosensors for detecting a specific steroid molecule. Our results demonstrate the potential application of fluorescent organic dyes in biosensors which will be promising and useful for bio-imaging and target indicators.
