The application belongs to the field of biomedical detection and
molecular imaging technology, and specifically discloses a water-soluble low-background Cy5 probe, a construction method thereof and application of the probe to consistent
hypochlorous acid detection across instruments. The probe Cy5Q1-HClO of the application takes Cy5
cyanine dye as a skeleton, realizes near-zero
intrinsic fluorescence by means of a double photo-induced
electron transfer (PET) mechanism, triggers a self-
elimination cascade reaction after specific recognition of
hypochlorous acid, and restores strong near-
infrared fluorescence. The double-cation structure of the probe endows it with good water
solubility, facilitating its use in biological systems. The
spectral shift of the probe is extremely small before and after response, only the absorption and
fluorescence intensity change, so similar working curves can be obtained on instruments with different excitation and detection channels, the probe has cross-platform and instrument-independent
signal quantitative capability, thereby realizing high-sensitivity, zero-background interference and in-vivo precise imaging of HClO. The probe has the characteristics of water
solubility, low background and high sensitivity, can not only visualize tumors with
high contrast, but also guide precise resection of less than 2mm resection margin, and for the first time realizes longitudinal monitoring of dynamic changes of HClO in the postoperative
wound healing process. The application also provides a preparation method and application of the Cy5Q1-HClO probe.
