A fluorescent probe for nitroreductase, its preparation method and application

This invention belongs to the field of fluorescent probe technology, specifically relating to a nitroreductase fluorescent probe, its preparation method, and its application. To develop an NTR fluorescent probe with high selectivity, high sensitivity, short response time, and long excitation and emission wavelengths, this invention utilizes pentamethine cyanine dye and a "ester group → carboxyl group" conversion strategy at the central site of this dye to develop a nitroreductase fluorescent probe, Cy5-NTR. In the presence of NADPH, the nitro group of the probe is first catalyzed by the overexpression of NTR by cancer cells, resulting in a single-electron transfer and the generation of a nitro anion radical. This radical is then further reduced to an amino group, followed by a 1,6-rearrangement and elimination reaction, releasing the strongly fluorescent centrally carboxyl-substituted pentamethine cyanine dye Cy5-COO. This probe can not only distinguish cancer cells / tissues from normal cells / tissues with high contrast under hypoxic conditions, but also provide in situ real-time imaging of tumors in tumor-bearing mice.
