A positively charged tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivative, TPE-4MN, was synthesized as a probe for heparin based on aggregation induced emission. On the addition of 5.0 μg/mL of heparin, TPE-4MN showed an enhanced emission of about 10-fold. The change in fluorescence at 475 nm was linear over a range of heparin concentrations of 0-1.0 μg/mL with an R = 0.99988 and the limit of detection (LOD) was calculated to be 0.75 μg/mL. The mechanism of the detection was proven to be through an ion pairing interaction. TPE-4MN showed good selectivity for heparin over other types of polysaccharides and could easily distinguish heparin from heparan sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan having a similar structure to that of heparin.

Cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction or limb ischemia are characterized by regression of blood vessels. Local delivery of growth factors (GFs) involved in angiogenesis such as fibroblast blast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) has been shown to trigger collateral neovasculature and might lead to a therapeutic strategy. In vivo, heparin, a sulfated polysaccharide present in abundance in the extracellular matrix (ECM), has been shown to function as a local reservoir for FGF-2 by binding FGF-2 and other morphogens and it plays a role in the evolution of GF gradients.

Heparin is a widely used blood anticoagulant and its monitoring in blood is essential during surgery. Unavoidable interference factors such as blood color and luminescence can interfere with the fluorescence visualization of heparin. Herein, we found a ratiometric fluorescence probe consisting of SYBR green and cresyl violet responsive to heparin mainly based on electrostatic interactions.

Heparin is widely used to treat thrombosis because it is an effective anticoagulant. However, excessive use of heparin can lead to an increased risk of bleeding, which makes the quantitative detection of heparin very important. An amphiphilic perylene bisimide molecule (denoted PBI-9) was developed, which presented a near-infrared emission peak at 730 nm when it was aggregated.
