IR-1048

Description

IR-1048 is a nitroreductase NTR -responsive near-infrared fluorescence NIR /photoacoustic PA imaging probe and photothermal agent. IR-1048 is coupled with a nitroimidazole group to form IR-1048-MZ. IR-1048-MZ is catalytically reduced by NTR in a hypoxic environment, restoring strong near-infrared absorption and fluorescence emission NIR II window , while activating the photothermal effect. IR-1048 relies on NTR-mediated electron transfer to relieve intramolecular fluorescence quenching, achieving specific imaging and photothermal ablation of tumor hypoxic areas. IR-1048 is mainly used for high-contrast NIR II/photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy research and tumor diagnosis of the tumor hypoxic microenvironment.
