Fluorescence probe reagents were added to sodium phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 7.4) (final 10 μM; 0.1% DMF as a cosolvent). The fluorescence intensities of HPF, APF and DCFH were measured at excitation wavelength of 490, 490 and 500 nm and fluorescence emission wavelength of 515, 515 and 520 nm, respectively.

a

100 μM of ferrous perchlorate (ll) and 1 mM of H2O2 were added.

b

3 μM (final) of ONOO was added.

c

3 μM (final) of NaOCI was added.

d

100 μM of 3-(1,4-dihydro-1,4-epidioxy-1-naphthyl)propionic acid was added.

e

100 μM of KO2 was added.

f

100 μM of H2O2 was added.

g

100 μM of 1-hydroxy-2-oxo-3-(3-aminopropyl)-3-methyl-1-triazene was added.

h

100 μM of 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride was added.

i

Fluorescence probe reagents solutions were placed under a fluorescent lamp for 2.5 h.
