A new novel probe, Hydroxyphenyl fluorescein (HPF), developed by
Tetsuo Nagano et. al. (1), is a highly selective probe for the
detection of highly Reactive Oxygen Species (hROS). It is a cell
permeable highly sensitive fluorescent probe for hydroxyl radical
(OH•),
and peroxynitrite (ONOO-)
detection. It has little reactivity towards other hROS such as:
hypochlorite (-OCl),
singlet oxygen (021),
superoxide (02-•),
hydrogen peroxide (H202), nitric oxide (NO•),
and alkyl peroxide (RO2•)
(see table below)1.
