Selective turn-on near-infrared fluorescence probe for hypoxic tumor cell imaging
Hypoxia is a typical feature of solid tumors. To detect hypoxic tumor cells, we designed new selective turn-on probes by conjugating (1-methyl-2-nitro-1 H -imidazol-5-yl)methanol to the near-infrared fluorescence probe DCPO through an ether linkage and bis-carbamate linkage specifically. The propose...

Summary: | Hypoxia is a typical feature of solid tumors. To detect hypoxic tumor cells, we designed new selective turn-on probes by conjugating (1-methyl-2-nitro-1 H -imidazol-5-yl)methanol to the near-infrared fluorescence probe DCPO through an ether linkage and bis-carbamate linkage specifically. The proposed activation mechanism was demonstrated through the nitroreductase and cytochrome P450 assays in vitro . However, two probes revealed different hypoxia selectivities when evaluated on H460, HeLa and A549 cell lines. The hypoxia selectivity of IOD was higher than that of IND . The probe IOD (containing the ether linkage) was considered to be a promising hypoxia-selective fluorescent probe. |
