NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase1 (NQO1) is a flavoenzyme that regulates the redox potential level in cells. Overexpression of NQO1 has been proven to be relevant to some malignant tumors. Herein a bioluminescent probe NQO1-Luc equipped with an NQO1-targeting group, trimethyl-locked quinone propionic acid (QPA), was constructed. The reduction of NQO1-Luc could be triggered by NQO1, resulting in the release of free D-luciferin, and concomitantly a bright bioluminescence emission. NQO1-Luc exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity toward NQO1 activity and the capability of distinguishing NQO1-overexpressing cells in vitro and in vivo, which offers a promising tool for investigations of NQO1 related biological processes including tumors in living organisms.
