The present invention discloses fluorescent compounds and a method for their use for selective imaging of blood vessels and blood flow. By applying these fluorescent compounds and the imaging process to a zebrafish model, the present invention further provides methods and procedures for the discovery, selection, and characterization of pro- and anti-angiogenic agents.
Fluorescent probes and their salts show sufficient solubility in water and detect sulfane sulfur in vivo. The fluorescent probes can have the following structure:
