Long fluorescence lifetime molecular probes based on near infrared pyrrolopyrrole cyanine fluorophores for in vivo imaging.
Fluorescence lifetime (FLT) properties of organic molecules provide a new reporting strategy for molecular imaging in the near infrared (NIR) spectral region. Unfortunately, most of the NIR fluorescent dyes have short FLT typically clustered below 1.5 ns. In this study, we demonstrate that a new class of NIR fluorescent dyes, pyrrolopyrrole cyanine dyes, have exceptionally long FLTs ranging fro...
متن کاملBiodegradable pH-sensing dendritic nanoprobes for near-infrared fluorescence lifetime and intensity imaging.
The overproduction of acidic byproducts is implicated in the development of numerous diseases, and there is currently great interest in developing contrast agents that can image acidic tissue in vivo.1 Here we report a pH-sensing biodegradable near-infrared (NIR) nanoprobe capable of providing complementary information through both fluorescence lifetime measurements and signal amplification in ...
متن کاملNear-infrared fluorescent pH-sensitive probes via unexpected barbituric acid mediated synthesis.
Novel near-infrared pyrimidine-fused pH fluorescent probes were prepared by an unusual barbiturate-mediated debenzoindolation and subsequent heteroannulation. A plausible mechanistic pathway is proposed, and the final structures were further elucidated by 2D-NMR. All new compounds are highly fluorescent in the near-infrared region and possess excellent spectral sensitivities to environmental pH...
متن کاملFluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy using near-infrared contrast agents.
Although single-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is widely used to image molecular processes using a wide range of excitation wavelengths, the captured emission of this technique is confined to the visible spectrum. Here, we explore the feasibility of utilizing near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent molecular probes with emission >700 nm for FLIM of live cells. The confocal micro...
متن کاملOptical Imaging of Cancer-Related Proteases Using Near-Infrared Fluorescence Matrix Metalloproteinase-Sensitive and Cathepsin B-Sensitive Probes
Cathepsin B and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) play key roles in tumor progression by controlled degradation of extracellular matrix. Consequently, these proteases have been attracted in cancer research, and many imaging probes utilizing these proteases have been developed. Our groups developed cathepsin B and MMP imaging nanoprobes based on polymer nanoparticle platform. Both cathepsin B and M...
