Hypoxia imaging in cells and tumor tissues using a highly selective fluorescent nitroreductase probe
Abstract Hypoxia is a characteristic of locally advanced solid tumors, resulting from an imbalance between oxygen consumption and supply. In hypoxic solid tumors, an increased expression of nitroreductase (NTR) is detected, therefore, the development of NTR-targeted fluorescent probes to selectively...

Abstract Hypoxia is a characteristic of locally advanced solid tumors, resulting from an imbalance between oxygen consumption and supply. In hypoxic solid tumors, an increased expression of nitroreductase (NTR) is detected, therefore, the development of NTR-targeted fluorescent probes to selectively and efficiently detect hypoxia in vivo is of utmost importance. In this study, a probe (1) has been designed and tested for effective optical detection of NTR in vitro and in vivo. The reduction of probe (1), catalyzed by NTR, resulted in changes of the electron-withdrawn nitrogen group into an electron-donation amino group. In addition, breakage of the O-C bond ensured selective fluorescence enhancement.
