Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) survival rates have not improved in a decade, with a 63% 5-year recurrence rate after surgery, making HNSCC a compelling indication for optical surgical navigation (OSN). A promising peptide, HN1, targeted and internalized in human HNSCC cells in multiple laboratories, but was slow (24 h) to accumulate. We modified HN1 and explored structural variables to improve the uptake kinetics and create IRdye800 adducts useful for OSN. Eleven new molecules wer ...[more]
