Highly Water-Soluble Monoboronic Acid Probes That Show Optical Sensitivity to Glucose Based on 4-Sulfo-1,8-naphthalic Anhydride

Abstract

Two highly water-soluble monoboronic acid probes that display the more desirable off-on fluorescence response were synthesized based on 4-sulfo-1,8-naphthalic anhydride and a remarkable sensitivity for glucose rather than fructose and galactose was also observed.
