In vivo imaging using polymeric nanoparticles stained with near-infrared chemiluminescent and fluorescent squaraine catenane endoperoxide.

چکیده
Polystyrene nanoparticles stained with squaraine catenane endoperoxide exhibit remarkably high chemiluminescence and enable optical imaging of biodistribution in living mice. Whole-body chemiluminescence imaging was much more effective than fluorescence at identifying lung accumulation of the nanoparticles.

Thermally-activated chemiluminescent squaraine rotaxane endoperoxide with green emission.
A squaraine rotaxane endoperoxide with a truncated squaraine chromophore undergoes a cycloreversion reaction and emits green light that can be transferred to red acceptor dyes. The results demonstrate that chemiluminescence emission for squaraine rotaxane endoperoxides comes from the excited squaraine inside the rotaxane.
متن کاملPre-Assembly of Near-Infrared Fluorescent Multivalent Molecular Probes for Biological Imaging.
A programmable pre-assembly method is described and shown to produce near-infrared fluorescent molecular probes with tunable multivalent binding properties. The modular assembly process threads one or two copies of a tetralactam macrocycle onto a fluorescent PEGylated squaraine scaffold containing a complementary number of docking stations. Appended to the macrocycle periphery are multiple copi...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of fluorescent inclusion complexes in competitive media including the interior of living cells.
Anthracene-containing tetralactam macrocycles are prepared and found to have an extremely high affinity for squaraine dyes in chloroform (log Ka = 5.2). Simply mixing the two components produces highly fluorescent, near-infrared inclusion complexes in quantitative yield. An X-ray crystal structure shows the expected hydrogen bonding between the squaraine oxygens and the macrocycle amide NH resi...

Recent breakthroughs in fluorescence microscopy are producing notable improvements in imaging resolution. These technical advances should have a major positive impact on the emerging field of cell imaging with single-molecule methods and help merge the subdisciplines of cell and molecular biology. However, the full potential of many of these new high-resolution imaging methods will only be achi...
متن کاملIn vivo imaging of hydrogen peroxide with chemiluminescent nanoparticles.
The overproduction of hydrogen peroxide is implicated in the development of numerous diseases and there is currently great interest in developing contrast agents that can image hydrogen peroxide in vivo. In this report, we demonstrate that nanoparticles formulated from peroxalate esters and fluorescent dyes can image hydrogen peroxide in vivo with high specificity and sensitivity. The peroxalat...
