The application discloses a Turn-Off type
cell in-vivo tracing probe and a preparation method and application thereof, and the probe structure is composed of three parts, including a membrane anchoring part, an
enzyme specificity response part and a fluorescent group. The probe can mark cells through the hydrophobic
tail chain of the membrane anchoring part, at this time, the fluorescent group part emits near-
infrared fluorescence, and shows a Turn state. When the adoptive cells are apoptotic in the body, the probe falls off from the cells. The free probe falling off is phagocytosed by macrophages in the body, in the
intracellular macrophages, the
enzyme specificity response part in the probe structure responds to
enzyme bond breaking, the fluorescent group is dissociated, does not emit light, and shows an Off state. Therefore, the fluorescent probe can not only trace the in-vivo living cells and monitor the death and life of the cells in the body, but also can effectively overcome the fluorescent "
pollution" phenomenon caused by the persistent existence of the fluorescent of the free probe falling off, and provides a new
visual tool for monitoring the in-vivo fate of the
living cell drugs.
