Abstrakt: Conventional cyanine dyes with a symmetric structure are "always-on", which can easily accumulate in the liver and display high liver background fluorescence, inevitably interfering the accurate diagnosis and therapy in extrahepatic diseases. We herein report a platform of NIR-II non-symmetric cyanine (NSCyanine) dyes by harnessing a non-symmetric strategy, which are extremely sensitive to pH/viscosity and can be activated via a "dual-key-and-lock" strategy. These NSCyanine dyes with a low pKa (<4.0) only show weak fluorescence at lysosome pH (key1), however, the fluorescence can be completely switched on and significantly enhanced by intracellular viscosity (key2) in disease tissues, exhibiting high target-to-liver ratios up to 19.5/1. Notably, high-contrast phototheranostics in extrahepatic diseases are achieved, including intestinal metastasis-imaging, acute gastritis-imaging, bacteria infected wound healing, and tumor ablation via targeted combined photothermal therapy and chemotherapy.
