A coelenterazine (CTZ) analogue emitting near-infrared (NIR) bioluminescence was synthesized for through-bond energy transfer (TBET)-based imaging modalities. The analogue, named Cy5-CTZ, was prepared by conjugating cyanine-5 (Cy5) dye to CTZ through an acetylene linker. This novel derivative is intrinsically fluorescent and emits NIR-shifted luminescence upon reacting with an appropriate luciferase, the Renilla luciferase. This Cy5-CTZ substrate is optically stable in physiological samples and rapidly permeabilize through the plasma membrane into the cytosolic compartment of live cells.
一种能发射近红外(NIR)生物荧光的腔肠素(CTZ)类似物被合成出来,用于基于键间能量转移(TBET)的成像模式。该类似物名为 Cy5-CTZ,通过乙炔连接子将 Cy5 染料连接到 CTZ 上制备得到。这种新型衍生物具有内在荧光性,与合适的荧光素酶——海肾荧光素酶反应后会发射出近红外位移的荧光。这种 Cy5-CTZ 底物在生理样本中具有光学稳定性,并且能够快速穿透质膜进入活细胞的胞质腔。
