Sensitive imaging of tumors using a nitroreductase-activated fluorescence probe in the NIR-II window

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Jul 27. doi: 10.1039/d1cc03232a. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA nitroreductase (NTR)-activated NIR-II fluorescence probe for tumor imaging is reported. The probe can emit fluorescence in the range of 900-1300 nm, and target hypoxic tumors with NTR overexpression, thus allowing for accurate delineation of tumor margins through deep penetration.PMID:34318817 | DOI:10.1039/d1cc03232a
