Popis: Photostable and near-infrared (NIR)-emitting organic fluorophores with large Stokes shifts are in great demand for long-term bioimaging at deeper depths with minimal autofluorescence and self-quenching. Herein, a new class of benzorhodamines and their analogues that are photostable and emit in the NIR region (up to 785 nm) with large Stokes shifts (>120 nm) is reported. The synthesis involves condensation of 7-alkylamino-2-naphthols with 2-[4-(dimethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzoyl]benzoic acid, which leads to bent-shaped benzorhodamines that emit orange fluorescence (≈600 nm); however, introduction of steric hindrance near the condensation site switched the regioselectivity, to provide a linear benzorhodamine system for the first time. The linear benzorhodamine derivatives provide bright fluorescence images in cells and in tissue. A carboxy-benzorhodamine was applied for photothermal therapy of cancer cells and xenograft cancer mice.
