A fluorogenic compound comprising a biologically active component and a hypoxia- activated protecting group which is fluorogenic. The biologically active component is bound to the fluorogenic component at an active binding position such that activity of the biologically active compound is suppressed until the protecting group is released. The protecting group is cleaved under hypoxic conditions, releasing the active compound and a fluorescent compound. The compounds can therefore be used in the treatment of hypoxia- related disease and disorder, such as tumour, and enable imaging of the release of the biologically active compound.
一种荧光化合物,包括
生物活性成分和一种低氧活化保护基团,该保护基团具有荧光性。
生物活性成分与荧光性成分在活性结合位点上结合,从而抑制
生物活性化合物的活性,直到保护基团被释放。在缺氧条件下,保护基团被割裂,释放出活性化合物和荧光化合物。因此,这些化合物可用于治疗与缺氧相关的疾病和障碍,如肿瘤,并能够成像
生物活性化合物的释放。
