Abstract:
The present invention relates to a silicon-substituted amino-pyronin compound derivative, a cell- or tissue-imaging method using the same, a cancer diagnosis method using the same, and a method for preparation of the same. More specifically, serving as a two-photon absorption fluorescent substance which has longer absorption and emission wavelengths in red or near-infrared regions of 625 nm or greater, compared to conventional one-photon absorption fluorescent substances, the silicon-substituted amino-pyronin compound derivative can minimize the influence of self-fluorescence in a bioimaging study and is thus expected to be suitable for high-resolution imaging in deep tissues. A fluorescent probe developed on the basis of the fluorescent substance platform is expected to find an expanded range of applications in analyzing and imaging specific materials in vivo.
Abstract:
Provided are acedan derivatives having an extended π bond, a method for preparing the acedan derivatives, and a method for two-photon microscopy imaging of amyloid-beta plaque using the acedan derivatives; more particularly, to two-photon absorbing fluorescent compounds having a longer absorption wavelength and emission wavelength than acedan and acedan derivatives which are conventional two-photon absorbing fluorophores. The compounds provided may be usefully used for in vivo imaging studies by imaging cells or tissue using the compounds, and may also be usefully used for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease by imaging amyloid-beta plaque using the compounds.
