A nature-inspired betalainic probe for live-cell imaging of Plasmodium-infected erythrocytes.

A model betalainic dye was semisynthesized from betanin, the magenta pigment of the red beet, and was effective for live-cell imaging of Plasmodium-infected red blood cells. This water-soluble fluorescent probe is photostable, excitable in the visible region and cell membrane-permeable, and its phot...
