Inflammation is an important protection reaction in living organisms associated with many diseases. Since peroxynitrite (ONOO) is engaged in the inflammatory processes, illustrating the key nexus between ONOO and inflammation is significant. Due to the lack of sensitive ONOO detection methods, the research still remains at its infancy. Herein, a highly sensitive NIR fluorescence probe DDAO-PN for detection of ONOO in inflammation progress was reported. The probe responded to ONOO with significant NIR fluorescence enhancement at 657 nm (84-fold) within 30 s in solution. Intracellular imaging of exogenous ONOO with the probe demonstrated a 68-fold fluorescence increase (/). Impressively, the probe can detect ONOO fluxes in LPS-induced rear leg inflammation with a 4.0-fold fluorescence increase and LPS-induced peritonitis with an 8.0-fold fluorescence increase The remarkable fluorescence enhancement and quick response enabled real-time tracking of ONOO with a large signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. These results clearly denoted that DDAO-PN was able to be a NIR fluorescence probe for detection and high-fidelity imaging of ONOO with high sensitivity and will boost the research of inflammation-related diseases.

Activatable multifunctional nanoparticles present considerable advantages in cancer treatment by integrating both diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities into a single platform. These nanoparticles can be precisely engineered to selectively target cancer cells, thereby reducing the risk of damage to healthy tissues. Once localized at the target site, they can be activated by external stimuli such as light, pH changes, or specific enzymes, enabling precise control over the release of therapeutic agents or the initiation of therapeutic effects.

Despite significant advancements in bioimaging technology, only a limited number of fluorophores are currently approved for clinical applications. Indocyanine green (ICG) is the first FDA-approved near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore and has significantly advanced clinical interventions over the past three decades. However, its single-channel imaging at 800 nm emission is often insufficient for capturing comprehensive diagnostic information during surgery.

: This study aimed to determine the minimal effective dose of indocyanine green (ICG) required for accurately assessing colonic perfusion during laparoscopic colorectal surgery using a laser-assisted laparoscopic near-infrared (NIR) camera system. : In 15 patients with colorectal cancer undergoing right hemicolectomy, the left branch of the middle colic artery was preserved, and ICG angiography was performed in the transverse colon. To determine the optimal ICG dose, experimental doses of 0.

Background: A phthalimide-functionalized heptamethine cyanine dye, named Ph790H, is used for targeted photothermal cancer therapy in vivo. We highlight that the chemical structure of Ph790H is newly designed and synthesized for the first time in this study.
Objectives: By possessing a rigid chloro-cyclohexenyl ring in the heptamethine cyanine backbone, the bifunctional near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye Ph790H can be preferentially accumulated in tumor without the need for additional targeting ligands, which is defined as the "structure-inherent tumor targeting" concept.
