Potassium (K<sup>+</sup>) exits electrically excitable cells during normal and pathophysiological activity. Currently, K<sup>+</sup>-sensitive electrodes and electrical measurements are the primary tools to detect K<sup>+</sup> fluxes. Here, we describe the synthesis of a near-IR, oxazine fluorescent K<sup>+</sup> sensor (K<sub>NIR</sub>-1) with a dissociation constant suited for detecting changes in intracellular and extracellular K<sup>+</sup> concentrations. K<sub>NIR</sub>-1 treatment of cel ...[more]
