AAN effective sensor: The two-photon turn-on fluorescent probe NHU was synthesized to optically detect tyrosinase activity in vitro and in melanoma cells. NHU is composed of a 4-aminophenol moiety and a naphthylamine unit, both of which are connected through a urea linkage. Upon exposure to tyrosinase, the 4-aminophenol site is gradually oxidized to the corresponding orthoquinone, ultimately releasing the highly fluorescent product 6-acyl-N-methyl-2-naphthylamine (AAN).
