The invention discloses a near-
infrared two-region aggregation-induced emission material, a preparation method thereof and application of the near-
infrared two-region aggregation-induced emission material in
brain glioma imaging. According to the structure of the near-
infrared two-region aggregation-induced emission material, thiazaphthalene tetracarboxylic
diimide is adopted as an
electron acceptor group,
triphenylamine and a methylated derivative thereof are adopted as
electron donor units, and the thiazaphthalene tetracarboxylic
diimide and the
triphenylamine are coupled to construct an organic near-infrared two-region molecule with an intramolecular charge transfer characteristic. A methyl steric hindrance group is introduced into a limited space of an
electron donor group, so that the repulsive force effect in molecules is improved, the movement of excited-state molecules is effectively inhibited, and the luminous efficiency of the molecules is remarkably improved. Meanwhile, the steric hindrance group can inhibit pi-
pi interaction among molecules, and the luminous efficiency of the aggregation state is improved. The nanoparticles prepared from the aggregation-induced emission material are modified by adopting brain-targeted
peptide Angiopep-2, so that accurate detection and high-contrast
fluorescence imaging of mouse in-situ
glioma are realized.
