Therefore, accurate evaluation of MAOA activity in cardiomyocytes is of great importance for understanding its biological functions and early diagnosing the progression of heart failure. However, so far, there is no report on the fluorescent diagnosis of heart failure by a specific probe for MAO-A. In this work, two far-red emissive fluorescent turn-on probes(KXS-M1 and KXS-M2) for the highly selective and sensitive detection of MAO-A were fabricated.Both probes exhibit good response to MAO-A, one of which, KXS-M2, performs better than the other one in terms of a fluorescence increment and sensitivity. Using the pioneering probe KXS-M2, specific fluorescence imaging of MAO-A in glucose-deprived H9c2 cardiac cells, zebrafish and isoprenaline-induced failing heart tissues was achieved, proving that KXS-M2 can serve as a powerful tool for the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure.展开更多
