Fluorescein O-methacrylate (Methacryloyloxy fluorescein) is a pH-responsive fluorescent monomeric dye. Fluorescein O-methacrylate exhibits pH-responsive fluorescence properties: its fluorescence is activated under alkaline conditions and quenched under neutral or acidic conditions, reversible switching of fluorescence is achievable by adjusting the pH of the solution. Fluorescein O-methacrylate can be used as a monomer for the synthesis of amphiphilic fluorescein polymers. These polymers can self-assemble into stable polymer nanoparticles with enhanced aqueous-phase fluorescence, and also enable the conjugation of nanoparticles with amine-containing biomolecules to support sensitive optical detection of biomarkers (Ex/Em = 490/520 nm)[1][2].
