The invention provides a tumor
cell mitochondria targeting agent with a
fluorescence co-localization function and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of
biomedicine. According to the method,
triphenylamine is taken as a
raw material, a pi conjugated skeleton is expanded by a benzothiadiazole bridging unit,
pyridinium salt is taken as a strong
electron acceptor, and different
alkyl chains are connected, so that the
mitochondrial targeting agent with aggregation-induced emission property is synthesized. The fluorescent
mitochondrial targeting agent TBPMI not only has good
biological safety, but also has good tumor
cell mitochondrial selectivity and targeting accuracy, and the co-localization coefficient of the fluorescent
mitochondrial targeting agent TBPMI and a commercial mitochondrial probe is as high as 0.96. Meanwhile, the prepared fluorescent mitochondrial targeting agent TBPMI has excellent aggregation-induced emission performance, and the aggregation-induced emission performance is obviously higher than that of a traditional commercial
photosensitizer rose bengal. Therefore, the newly prepared fluorescent mitochondrial targeting agent TBPMI provides a new material for accurate positioning of
organelle level under the guidance of a fluorescent image.
