Our initial efforts to prepare tissue-specific near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent compounds generated successful correlation between physicochemical properties and global uptake in major organs after systemic circulation and biodistribution. Herein, we focus on the effects on biodistribution based on modulating electronic influencing moieties from donating to withdrawing moieties at both the heterocyclic site and through meso-substitution of pentamethine cyanine fluorophores. These selected modifications harnessed innate biodistribution pathways through the structure-inherent targeting, resulting in effective imaging of the adrenal glands, pituitary gland, lymph nodes, pancreas, and thyroid and salivary glands. These native-tissue contrast agents will arm surgeons with a powerful and versatile arsenal for intraoperative NIR imaging in real time.

A time-efficient and eco-conscious microwave methodology was developed and applied to synthesize a systematic library of pentamethine cyanine dyes and their corresponding precursors. The synthesis outlined herein drastically reduced the reaction pathway for pentamethine carbocyanine dye syntheses from days to min, as well as producing increased yields (89-98%) to the conventional heating method (18-64%). Twelve examples of pentamethine cyanine dyes were synthesized by means of microwave-assisted organic synthesis which provided excellent yield in expedited reaction time and were obtained using facile isolation methods. Furthermore, three cyanines were prepared with a novel methylene dioxy heterocyclic structure which imparted an approximately 40 nm bathochromic shift compared to unsubstituted counterparts; these results were shown to be in agreement with DFT calculations and HOMO-LUMO energy differences.
