Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is generated from L-arginine through nitric oxide synthase (NOS) catalyzed reaction in live cells. In particular, the NO plays a crucial role in diverse physiological and pathological processes, e.g., vasodilation, carcinogenesis, neurodegenerative disorders, neurotransmission, and etc. In this regard, we developed a ratiometric fluorescent probe 1 that can image NO in biological system. The probe 1 consists of naphthalimide as the signaling unit and thiosemicarbazide moiety as the recognition unit for NO. We think that the thiosemicarbazide moiety of probe 1 can react with NO selectively to form 1,3,4-oxadiazole heterocyclic product, leading to a ratiometric fluorescence change.
