Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) fluorescent probes are promising tools for early diagnosis of cancer. Traditionally, COX-2 probes were designed by connecting two parts, a fluorophore and a COX-2 binding unit, via a flexible linker. Herein, a new class of COX-2-specific fluorescent probes have been developed via one-step modification from rofecoxib by an integrative approach to combine the binding unit and the fluorophore into one. Among them, several new rofecoxib analogues not only exhibited still potent COX-2 binding ability but also
