Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of indocyanine green (ICG) derivatives in fluorescence lymph imaging to improve diagnosis of lymphatic diseases, despite challenges with ICG kinetics.
- Researchers synthesized various derivatives with different charges and investigated their binding to human serum albumin and pharmacokinetics in mice.
- Findings indicate that these derivatives' properties affect their uptake by phagocytic cells in lymph nodes, which could lead to better fluorescent agents for lymphatic imaging.
