Abstract:

Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared region (NIR-Ⅱ?) has been widely used in biomedical due to its deep tissue penetration and high spatial resolution. Compared with the “always on” fluorescent probes, the activatable probes that change fluorescence signals only in the presence of specific biomarkers have higher signal-to-background ratio, resulting in better accuracy and reliability of detection. In this review, from the classification of disease models, we introduce the recent NIR-Ⅱ activatable probes. Moreover, the limitation and perspectives of NIR-Ⅱ activatable probes are briefly discussed as well.

Key words: NIR-Ⅱ fluorescence imaging, Small molecule fluorescent probe, Activatable probe, Bioimaging
