Simple firefly luciferin analogs emitting blue, green, and red light were developed. The longest emission maximum was observed at 675 nm, which belongs to the NIR biological window (650-900 nm), useful for deep site bioimaging of living animals. The analogs showed a slow rise of emission intensity compared with the rapid emission of natural luciferin. The light emission of the adenylated analogs was strongly enhanced compared with those of analogs themselves.
