The invention relates to a structure, a preparation and applications of a reduction responsive fluorescent probe, and belongs to the field of organic fluorescent probes. Based on the problem of generally not high
signal-to-
noise ratio of the imaging of the existing fluorescent probe, the invention discloses an efficient fluorescent nano-probe, wherein the outermost layer is
albumin, the middle layer is a hydrophilic
polymer block, and the inner layer is a
hydrophobic polymer block core simultaneously coupled with a reduction-responsive
chemical bond and a fluorescent dye. According to the invention, in a non-reducing environment, the fluorescent molecules in the nanometer core are subjected to
fluorescence quenching, so that the nano-probe is in an extremely low
fluorescence state; in a reducing environment, the
fluorescence molecules are subjected to core / shell transition under the combined action of a
reducing agent and nano-shell
albumin, so that the nano-probe is converted to an extremely high fluorescence state so as to achieve high
signal-to-
noise ratio; and the nano-probe disclosed by the invention can be used for specific
living body imaging of tumors, imaging-guided operations, tumor-related
lymph node imaging, tumor
pathological section imaging and the like.
