Description
Summary:Reported herein is a self-immobilizing near-infrared fluorogenic probe that can be used to image extracellular enzyme activity in vivo . Using a fluorophore as a quinone methide precursor, this probe covalently anchors at sites of activation and greatly enhances the fluorescence intensity at 710 nm upon enzymatic stimulus, significantly boosting detection sensitivity in a highly dynamic in vivo system. A novel self-immobilizing and near-infrared fluorogenic probe has been reported to visualize extracellular enzyme activity in living mouse.
