AIE (aggregation-induced emission)-active TPE derivatives, TPE-TPP, TPE-MitoR and TPE-IQ are contemplated. These specific TPE derivatives are useful as fluorescent agents for mitochondrial imaging and as apoptosis inducers. Possessing high specificity to mitochondria, superior photostability and appreciable tolerance to microenvironment change, TPE derivatives are well-suited imaging agents for mitochondrial targeting and morphological change tracking. Because of their synthetic flexibility, TPE derivatives can be further modified as dual-functional probes for an array of applications such as sensing of ROS, metal ions, or pH change in mitochondria.
活性聚集诱导发光(AIE)的TPE衍生物,TPE-TPP、TPE-MitoR和TPE-IQ被考虑。这些特定的TPE衍生物可用作线粒体成像的荧光试剂和凋亡诱导剂。具有对线粒体的高特异性、优越的光稳定性和对微环境变化的可观容忍度,TPE衍生物非常适合用作线粒体靶向成像和形态变化跟踪的成像试剂。由于其合成灵活性,TPE衍生物可以进一步改进为用于一系列应用的双功能探针,例如在线粒体中感测ROS、金属离子或pH变化。
