Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging technique is garnering increasing research attention due to various advantages. However, most NIR fluorescent probes still suffer from a false signals problem owing to their instability in real application. Especially in a pathological environment, many NIR probes can be easily destroyed due to the excessive generation of highly reactive species and causing a distorted false signal. Herein, we proposed an approach for developing a new stable NIR dye platform with an optically tunable group to eliminate false signals using the combination of dyes screening and rational design strategy. The conception is validated by the construction of two high-fidelity NIR fluorescent probes (NIR-LAP and NIR-ONOO-) sensing leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-), the markers of hepatotoxicity. These probes (NIR-LAP and NIR-ONOO-) were demonstrated to sensitively and accurately monitor LAP and ONOO- (detection limit: 80 mU/L for LAP and 90 nM for ONOO-), thereby allowing one to precisely evaluate drug-induced hepatotoxicity. In addition, based on the fluctuation of LAP, the therapeutic efficacy of six hepatoprotective medicines for acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity was analyzed in vivo. We anticipate the high-fidelity NIR dye platform with an optically tunable group could provide a convenient and efficient tool for the development of future probes applied in the pathological environment.

Paracetamol and other acetanilide analogs as inter-molecular hydrogen bonding assisted diamagnetic CEST MRI contrast agents

Paracetamol and a few other acetanilide derivatives are reported as a special class of diamagnetic Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (diaCEST) MRI contrast agents, that exhibit contrast only when the molecules form inter-molecular hydrogen bonding mediated molecular chains or sheets. Without the protection of the hydrogen bonding their contrast producing labile proton exchanges too quickly with the solvent to produce any appreciable contrast. Through a number of variable temperature experiments we demonstrate that under the conditions when the hydrogen bond network breaks and the high exchange returns back, the contrast drops quickly. The well-known analgesic drug paracetamol shows 12% contrast at a concentration of 15 mM at physiological conditions. With the proven safety track-record for human consumption and appreciable physiological contrast, paracetamol shows promise as a diaCEST agent forin vivostudies.
