The viscosity of lysosome is reported to be a key indicator of lysosomal functionality. However, the existing mechanical methods of viscosity measurement can hardly be applied at the cellular or subcellular level. Herein, a BODIPY-based two-photon fluorescent probe was presented for monitoring lysosomal viscosity with high spatial and temporal resolution. By installing two morpholine moieties to the fluorophore as target and rotational groups, the TICT effect between the two morpholine rings and the main fluorophore scaffold endowed the probe with excellent viscosity sensitivity. Moreover, Lyso-B succeeded in showing the impact of dexamethasone on lysosomal viscosity in real time.
