This invention discloses a multicolor
fluorine magnetic resonance imaging probe based on a
metal-organic cage. First, a
rhodium-based
metal-organic cage is formed by the self-
assembly of a fluorinated
isophthalic acid ligand and a
rhodium salt, covalently introducing the first characteristic
fluorine signal. Then, leveraging the coordination ability of the
rhodium nodes in the rhodium-based
metal-organic cage, it coordinates with a fluorinated
pyridine derivative, introducing a second characteristic
fluorine signal. This results in a multicolor probe containing both fluorine signals within the metal-organic cage, ensuring that all signals exhibit completely consistent pharmacokinetic behavior
in vivo. This achieves true multi-channel synchronous imaging, solving the fundamental problem of spatiotemporal asynchrony of mixed probe signals. The probe
system of this invention features precise structure, strong design flexibility, high imaging sensitivity, and multicolor imaging capabilities, providing a new solution for existing fluorine probes with single-channel imaging or complex structures. It also provides a new tool for
in vivo multi-target
biological imaging and
dynamic monitoring.
