ROS/RNS and Base Dual Activatable Merocyanine‐Based NIR‐II Fluorescent Molecular Probe for in vivo Biosensing
Abstract
Inflammation usually results in high‐level reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) not only in acidic tissue but also in alkaline tissue. However, noninvasively in vivo monitoring reactive species specifically within alkaline tissue remains a huge challenge. Here we introduce a dual activatable fluorescent probe PN910 located in the second near‐infrared window (NIR‐II, 900–1700 nm), which shows high selectivity toward H 2 O 2 and OONO − at pH beyond 7.4. Then we verified that PN910 could be used for the real‐time, specific and accurate monitoring of cystitis and colitis for living animals. This report presents a unique approach to the development of dual activatable probe for in vivo biosensing.

Xanthene dyes, particularly rhodamines and fluoresceins, have attracted considerable attention in biomedical imaging owing to outstanding photophysical properties including high molar absorptivity, excellent photostability, facile functionalization, and tunable emission.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
