Abstract
In order to develop a novel near infrared fluorescence agent, glucose conjugated zinc phthalocyanine, [2,9(10),16(17),23(24)-tetrakis((1-(β-D-glucopyranose-2-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxyl)phthalocyaninato]zinc(II), was synthesized via Click reaction. Their chemical structures were characterized by mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum. Their light stability and fluorescence quantum yield were evaluated by UV-visible and fluorescent spectroscopic method. Optical imaging in vivo was performed with this saccharide conjugated phthalocyanine as probe on liver tumor-bearing nude mice. Near-infrared imaging effect, organ aggregation as well as distribution of probe in vivo were evaluated by in vivo fluorescence imaging technique. Results show that glucose conjugated zinc phthalocyanine has favorable water solubility, good optical stability and high emission ability in near infrared region. Imaging results demonstrate that saccharide conjugated phthalocyanine has possess obvious imaging effect in vivo, which implies its potential in cancer diagnosis as near infrared optical probe.
