Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of new biomedical materials, and in particular to an activatable hydrophilic near-infrared fluorescent probe, a liposome fluorescent probe, a cell membrane fluorescent probe, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Inflammation is ubiquitous in human daily life. Common inflammatory responses such as asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, and allergies affect millions of people. (See Baechle, JJ; Chen, N.; Makhijani, P.; Winer, S.; Furman, D.; Winer, D. Molecular Metabolism, 2023, 74). Most inflammatory responses are caused by pathogens. When a host is infected by a pathogen, the body's immune cells are activated by detecting pathogen-related molecular patterns through pattern recognition receptors. Activated immune cells either engulf pathogens directly or secrete proteases to form cellular traps to clear the pathogens. (See Kolaczkowska, E.; Kubes, P. Nature Reviews Immunology, 2013, 13, 159; Yamamoto, H.; Ichikawa, Y.; Hirano, SI; Sato, B.; Satoh, F. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021, 22).

[0003] The presence of pathogens also activates intracellular signal transduction pathways in immune cells. For example, activation of the κ-light chain enhancement signaling pathway in B cells activated by nuclear factor initiates an immune cascade, producing inflammatory cytokines and leading to a cytokine storm. In cases of immune dysregulation, other inflammatory mediators such as free nucleic acids, reactive oxygen species, and nitric oxide are also produced. Ultimately, a prolonged and excessive inflammatory response may cause organ dysfunction. Therefore, early diagnosis of inflammation is crucial. (See Kudiabor H. Nature, 2024, 631, 717; Poole S.; Clark T. The Journal of Infection, 2020, 80, 1; Cilloniz C.; Liapikou A.; Torres A. Current opinion in pulmonary medicine, 2020, 26).

[0004] Currently, the clinical diagnosis of inflammation mainly includes etiological testing, routine blood tests, and imaging examinations, which may have drawbacks such as long processing time, poor specificity, and radiation exposure. As a novel bioimaging tool, fluorescence imaging technology has advantages such as high sensitivity, non-invasiveness, and real-time monitoring. It does not require a professional medical background and can effectively analyze imaging results simply by observing changes in fluorescence intensity. However, it also has problems such as high background signal and poor specificity. (See Baechle, JJ; Chen, N.; Makhijani, P.; Winer, S.; Furman, D.; Winer, D. Molecular Metabolism, 2023, 74; Ouyang, J.; Sun, L.; Zeng, F.; Wu, S. Coordination Chemistry Reviews, 2022, 458, 214438).

[0242] In summary, this invention provides an activatable near-infrared fluorescent probe for inflammation detection, its preparation, and its application. According to this invention, the activatable near-infrared fluorescent probe can be activated by neutrophil elastase, possessing the ability to actively target inflammation. It responds to the high expression of neutrophil elastase in the inflammatory microenvironment, thereby activating fluorescence and achieving in situ detection of inflammation. Due to the introduction of a hydrophilic polymer, the activated probe can be rapidly excreted through the kidneys, enabling urine detection of inflammation. Using this activatable near-infrared fluorescent probe reduces the accumulation of fluorescent probes at non-target sites, reduces background signals in fluorescence imaging, increases the specificity of inflammation detection, and improves imaging sensitivity. Guided by fluorescence imaging, this activatable near-infrared fluorescent probe can not only achieve real-time in situ detection of early inflammation and non-invasive urine analysis, but also assist in the screening and dosage selection of anti-inflammatory drugs.
