Abstract

Fluorescent imaging agents with biocompatibility and high sensitivity are urgently required for the accurate detection of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Herein, we report the design of a novel quinoline-based fluorescent probe, designated KSNP117, which can be applied as a biomedical imaging agent in the sensitive and quantitative detection of SLNs. KSNP117 exerted no adverse effects on the proliferation of ovary and immune cells and also showed excellent serum stability with photo-brightening effects.In vivofluorescent imaging revealed the accumulation of KSNP117 in the SLNs of nude mice within 10 min post injection, withoutin vivotoxicity, which was consistent with the findings ofex vivoimaging. These results support the potential of KSNP117 as a promising lymphatic tracer for biomedical imaging applications.
