Popis: | Development of novel nanomaterials for disease theranostics represents an important direction in chemistry and precision medicine. Fluorescent molecular probes in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) show high promise because of their exceptional high detection sensitivity, resolution, and deep imaging depth. Here, a sharp pH-sensitive self-assembling cyclopeptide-dye, SIMM1000, as a smart nanoprobe for NIR-II imaging of diseases in living animals, is reported. This small molecule assembled nanoprobe exhibits smart properties by responding to a sharp decrease of pH in the tumor microenvironment (pH 7.0 to 6.8), aggregating from small nanoprobe (80 nm at pH 7.0) into large nanoparticles (>500 nm at pH 6.8) with approximate to 20-30 times enhanced fluorescence compared with the non-self-assembled CH-4T. It yields micrometer-scale resolution in blood vessel imaging and high contrast and resolution in bone and tumor imaging in mice. Because of its self-aggregation in acidic tumor microenvironments in situ, SIMM1000 exhibits high tumor accumulation and extremely long tumor retention (>19 days), while being excretable from normal tissues and safe. This smart self-assembling small molecule strategy can shift the paradigm of designing new nanomaterials for molecular imaging and drug development. |
