We report a pair of fluorinated, redox-active copper complexes for potential use as (19)F MRI contrast agents for detecting cellular hypoxia. Trifluorinated Cu(II) ATSM-F3 displays the appropriate redox potential for selective accumulation in hypoxic cells and a completely quenched (19)F NMR signal that is "turned on" following reduction to Cu(I). Incubation of cancer cells with CuATSM-F3 resulted in a selective detection of (19)F signal in cells grown under hypoxic conditions.
我们报告了一对氟化的、氧化还原活性的铜配合物,可作为(19)F MRI 对比剂,用于检测细胞缺氧。三氟化铜(II)ATSM-F3 具有合适的氧化还原电位,可选择性地在缺氧细胞中积累,并在还原为铜(I)后完全猝灭(19)F NMR 信号。将 CuATSM-F3 孵育癌细胞,可选择性地检测在缺氧条件下生长的细胞中的(19)F 信号。
