NiSPY-3 (Nitrative Stress Sensing Pyrromethene Dye) is a reagent to detect nitrosative stress by fluorescence. NiSPY-3 reacts specifically with peroxynitrite (ONOO–) among other reactive oxygen species such as ・OH, ・O2 –, H2O2, 1O2, NO, etc. Fluorescent intensity is not increased by the existence of hydroxyl radical, singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, nitric oxide or superoxide. It can beused for live cell fluorescent imaging.
