SMILES: C1C(O1)COC2=CC3=C(C=C2)C(=C4C=CC(=O)C=C4O3)C5=CC=CC=C5C(=O)OCC6CO6
Description: The molecule is an epoxide fluorescent probe for use in in vivo visualization of hydrogen sulfide. The probe employs a fluorescein as a fluorophore, and is equipped with an operating epoxide unit. FEPO functions via epoxide ring opening via nucleophilic attack by H2S. It has a role as a fluorescent probe. It is an epoxide, a benzoate ester, an aromatic ether and a xanthene dye. It derives from a fluorescein.
