Norcyanine-Carbamates Are Versatile Near-Infrared Fluorogenic Probes.

ABSTRACT: Fluorogenic probes in the near-infrared (NIR) region have the potential to provide stimuli-dependent information in living organisms. Here, we describe a new class of fluorogenic probes based on the heptamethine cyanine scaffold, the most broadly used NIR chromophore. These compounds result from modification of heptamethine norcyanines with stimuli-responsive carbamate linkers. The resulting cyanine carbamates (CyBams) exhibit exceptional turn-ON ratios (∼170×) due to dual requirements for NIR emission: carbamate cleavage through 1,6-elimination and chromophore protonation. Illustrating their utility in complex in vivo settings, a γ-glutamate substituted CyBam was applied to imaging γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activity in a metastatic model of ovarian cancer. Overall, CyBams have significant potential to extend the reach of fluorogenic strategies to intact tissue and live animal imaging applications.

Imaging bacterial peptidoglycan with near-infrared fluorogenic azide probes.

Project description:Fluorescent probes designed for activation by bioorthogonal chemistry have enabled the visualization of biomolecules in living systems. Such activatable probes with near-infrared (NIR) emission would be ideal for in vivo imaging but have proven difficult to engineer. We present the development of NIR fluorogenic azide probes based on the Si-rhodamine scaffold that undergo a fluorescence enhancement of up to 48-fold upon reaction with terminal or strained alkynes. We used the probes for mammalian cell surface imaging and, in conjunction with a new class of cyclooctyne D-amino acids, for visualization of bacterial peptidoglycan without the need to wash away unreacted probe.

Near-infrared fluorescence lifetime pH-sensitive probes.

Project description:We report what we believe to be the first near-infrared pH-sensitive fluorescence lifetime molecular probe suitable for biological applications in physiological range. Specifically, we modified a known fluorophore skeleton, hexamethylindotricarbocyanine, with a tertiary amine functionality that was electronically coupled to the fluorophore, to generate a pH-sensitive probe. The pK(a) of the probe depended critically on the location of the amine. Peripheral substitution at the 5-position of the indole ring resulted in a compound with pK(a) ? 4.9 as determined by emission spectroscopy. In contrast, substitution at the meso-position shifted the pK(a) to 5.5. The resulting compound, LS482, demonstrated steady-state and fluorescence-lifetime pH-sensitivity. This sensitivity stemmed from distinct lifetimes for protonated (?1.16 ns in acidic DMSO) and deprotonated (?1.4 ns in basic DMSO) components. The suitability of the fluorescent dyes for biological applications was demonstrated with a fluorescence-lifetime tomography system. The ability to interrogate cellular processes and subsequently translate the findings in living organisms further augments the potential of these lifetime-based pH probes.

Single Near-Infrared Emissive Polymer Nanoparticles as Versatile Phototheranostics.

Project description:Attaining consistently high performance of diagnostic and therapeutic functions in one single nanoplatform is of great significance for nanomedicine. This study demonstrates the use of donor-acceptor (D-A) structured polymer (TBT) to develop a smart "all-five-in-one" theranostic that conveniently integrates fluorescence/photoacoustic/thermal imaging and photodynamic/photothermal therapy into single nanoparticle. The prepared nanoparticles (TBTPNPs) exhibit near-infrared emission, high water solubility, excellent light resistance, good pH stability, and negligible toxicity. Additionally, the TBTPNPs exhibit an excellent singlet oxygen (1O2) quantum yield (40%) and high photothermal conversion efficiency (37.1%) under single-laser irradiation (635 nm). Apart from their two phototherapeutic modalities, fluorescence, photoacoustic signals, and thermal imaging in vivo can be simultaneously achieved because of their enhanced permeability and retention effects. This work demonstrates that the prepared TBTPNPs are "all-five-in-one" phototheranostic agents that can exhibit properties to satisfy the "one-fits-all" requirement for future phototheranostic applications. Thus, the prepared TBTPNPs can provide fundamental insights into the development of PNP-based nanoagents for cancer therapy.

Rapid differentiation between bacterial infections and cancer using a near-infrared fluorogenic probe.

Project description:The reliable differentiation between bacterial infections and other pathologies is crucial for both diagnostics and therapeutic approaches. To accommodate such needs, we herein report the development of an activatable near-infrared fluorescent probe 1 that could be applied in the ultrafast, ultrasensitive and specific detection of nitroreductase (NTR) activity in bacterial pathogens both in vitro and in vivo. Upon reaction with NTR, the nitro-group of the para-nitro phenyl sulfonic moiety present in probe 1 was reduced to an amino-group, resulting in a near-infrared fluorescence turn-on of the latent cyanine 7 fluorophore. Probe 1 was capable of rapid and real-time quantitative detection of 0-150 ng mL-1 NTR with a limit of detection as low as 0.67 ng mL-1 in vitro. In addition, probe 1 exhibited an outstanding performance of ultrafast measurements and suitable selectivity toward NTR to accurately sense intracellular basal NTR in ESKAPE bacterial pathogens. Most remarkably, probe 1 was capable of noninvasively identifying bacterial infection sites without showing any significantly increased signal of tumour sites in the same animal within 30 min.

Fluorescent Phase-Changing Perfluorocarbon Nanodroplets as Activatable Near-Infrared Probes.

Project description:The sensitivity of fluorescence imaging is limited by the high optical scattering of tissue. One approach to improve sensitivity to small signals is to use a contrast agent with a signal that can be externally modulated. In this work, we present a new phase-changing perfluorocarbon nanodroplet contrast agent loaded with DiR dye. The nanodroplets undergo a liquid-to-gas phase transition when exposed to an externally applied laser pulse. This results in the unquenching of the encapsulated dye, thus increasing the fluorescent signal, a phenomenon that can be characterized by an ON/OFF ratio between the fluorescence of activated and nonactivated nanodroplets, respectively. We investigate and optimize the quenching/unquenching of DiR upon nanodroplets' vaporization in suspension, tissue-mimicking phantoms and a subcutaneous injection mouse model. We also demonstrate that the vaporized nanodroplets produce ultrasound contrast, enabling multimodal imaging. This work shows that these nanodroplets could be applied to imaging applications where high sensitivity is required.

A Near-Infrared Fluorogenic Pyrrole-Imidazole Polyamide Probe for Live-Cell Imaging of Telomeres.

Project description:Telomeres are closely associated with cellular senescence and cancer. Although some techniques have been developed to label telomeres in living cells for study of telomere dynamics, few biocompatible near-infrared probes based on synthetic molecules have been reported. In this study, we developed a near-infrared fluorogenic pyrrole-imidazole polyamide probe (SiR-TTet59B) to visualize telomeres by conjugating a silicon-rhodamine (SiR) fluorophore with a tandem tetramer pyrrole-imidazole polyamide targeting 24 bp in the telomeric double-stranded (ds) DNA. SiR-TTet59B was almost nonfluorescent in water but increased its fluorescence dramatically on binding to telomeric dsDNA. Using a peptide-based delivery reagent, we demonstrated the specific and effective visualization of telomeres in living U2OS cells. Moreover, SiR-TTet59B could be used to observe the dynamic movements of telomeres during interphase and mitosis. This simple imaging method using a synthetic near-infrared probe could be a powerful tool for studies of telomeres and for diagnosis.

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Probes for the Detection of Cancer-Associated Proteases.

Project description:Proteases are enzymes capable of catalyzing protein breakdown, which is critical across many biological processes. There are several families of proteases, each of which perform key functions through the degradation of specific proteins. As our understanding of cancer improves, it has been demonstrated that several proteases can be overactivated during the progression of cancer and contribute to malignancy. Optical imaging systems that employ near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes to detect protease activity offer clinical promise, both for early detection of cancer as well as for the assessment of personalized therapy. In this Review, we review the design of NIR probes and their successful application for the detection of different cancer-associated proteases.

A near-infrared fluorogenic dimer enables background-free imaging of endogenous GPCRs in living mice.

Project description:Fluorescent probes are commonly used in studying G protein-coupled receptors in living cells; however their application to the whole animal receptor imaging is still challenging. To address this problem, we report the design and the synthesis of the first near-infrared emitting fluorogenic dimer with environment-sensitive folding. Due to the formation of non-fluorescent H-aggregates in an aqueous medium, the near-infrared fluorogenic dimer displays a strong turn-on response (up to 140-fold) in an apolar environment and exceptional brightness: 56% quantum yield and ≈444 000 M-1 cm-1 extinction coefficient. Grafted on a ligand of the oxytocin receptor, it allows the unprecedented background-free and target-specific imaging of the naturally expressed receptor in living mice.

Effect of Short PEG on Near-Infrared BODIPY-Based Activatable Optical Probes.

Project description:Targeted near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probes are playing a significant role in biomedical imaging because NIR penetrates deeper into tissues and is associated with reduced autofluorescence compared to visible light fluorescence probes. Long-wavelength emitting 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) is an attractive platform for synthesizing NIR fluorophores because of its high photostability, high molar absorption coefficient, and sharp absorption and emission spectra. However, its lipophilicity hampers the conjugation chemistry necessary to add targeting moieties. In this study, we synthesized a novel NIR BODIPY derivative, NMP14. Substitutions of ethylene-bridged pyrrole units at the 3- or 5-position of the parent BODIPY chromophore result in a red shift of more than 200 nm. However, NMP14 cannot be conjugated to antibodies because of its hydrophobicity. Therefore, we synthesized NMP13 by adding short poly(ethylene glycol) to NMP14 and successfully conjugated NMP13 to cetuximab and trastuzumab. In vitro microscopic studies showed that NMP13 conjugated antibodies were activated after internalization and lysosomal processing, which means that NMP13 acts as an activatable probe only turning on after cellular internalization. After the administration of NMP13 conjugated antibodies, mice tumors were detected with high tumor to background ratios for a long period. These results suggest that NMP13 has potential as an activatable fluorescence probe for further clinical applications.
