Bioactivity | Cypate is a near-infrared fluorescent dye that belongs to the family of photosensitizers. Cypate has high photostability and optical properties, and is often used in near-infrared optical imaging, as well as optical imaging, tumor marking, and drug delivery. In addition, Cypate is also used as a molecular probe and combined with targeting molecules (such as CBT or small interfering RNA) to achieve efficient detection and imaging of specific cells or tissues[1][2]. |
Invitro | 在研究中,Cypate 偶联 upconversion 纳米颗粒 (UCNP-cy),而装载具有抗热休克蛋白 70 (UCNP-cy-siRNA) 的小干扰 RNA 基因,可导致靶向细胞的损伤和抗肿瘤效果[1]。Cypate 还可偶联 CBT (Cysteine-containing Peptide Backbone Tag),可用于追踪、标记和成像特定生物分子或细胞。例如,Cypate-CBT,作为近红外光声 (PA) 探针,可用于特异性成像和实时跟踪 CTSB 过表达细胞和肿瘤中的组织蛋白酶 B (CTSB) 活性。Cypate-CBT 进入 CTSB 过表达细胞后,它经历谷胱甘肽还原和 CTSB 裂解,生成 cypate 纳米粒子 Cypate-CBT-NPs,增强了肿瘤部位 PA 信号的强度和保留时间。Cypate-CBT 有潜力被用作早期癌症临床诊断的有效 PA 显像剂[2]。 |
