Sensitive indicator of peroxynitrite formation. DHR is oxidized by peroxynitrite to the highly fluorescent product rhodamine. Formation of rhodamine can be monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy (Ex(max): 500nm, Em(max): 536nm), or by absorbance spectroscopy at 500nm (ε=78'800M-1cm-1). Neither nitric oxide, superoxide, nor hydrogen peroxide alone appear to oxidize DHR.
