A nitrobenzoxadiazole-based fluoroprobe (NBD-Bu) is designed to probe cellular metabolic activity in cancer and normal cells. NBD-Bu shows a significant fluorescence enhancement upon selective binding to the transport protein serum albumin in PBS buffer at ambient conditions. Encouraged by this finding, the site- specificity of NBD-Bu has been explored through a competitive displacement assay in the presence of site-specific markers such as warfarin and ibuprofen. Notably, even at micromolar con ...[more]
