Novel iron-specific fluorescent probes

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Jul 15;15(14):3450-2. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.05.010.

Abstract

A series of novel iron-specific fluorescent probes is reported where the chelator function unusually forms part of the fluorescent moiety. The ability of this range of molecules to permeate human erythrocyte ghost membranes was investigated.
