HMRhoNox-M (also known as LysoRhoNox) is a Fe2+-selective fluorescent probe based on the N-oxide-controlled spirocyclization of tetramethyl-hydroxymethyl rhodamine.

In the absence of Fe2+, HMRhoNox-M exists in the non-fluorescent spirocyclic form showing only negligible fluorescence in an aqueous buffer and at physiological pH. The addition of Fe2+ induces a 60-fold increase of the fluorescence signal at 575 nm through the deoxygenation of the dialkylamino group and the transition of the probe to an open fluorescent form. HMRhoNox-M responds to Fe2+ in a dose-dependent manner.

The fluorescence response of HMRhoNox-M is highly selective for Fe2+ over other transition metal ions, including Fe3+, alkali metal ions, and alkaline earth metal ions.

HMRhoNox-M is the cell-permeant probe that is mainly localized in lysosomes. It is suitable for monitoring fluctuations of endogenous labile iron in living cells, including the transferrin-induced Fe uptake. Staining with HMRhoNox-M is incompatible with subsequent cell fixation.
