High selectivity imaging of nitroreductase using a near-infrared fluorescence probe in hypoxic tumor.

A highly selective and sensitive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe (Cy-NO2) for imaging nitroreductase was developed and was successfully applied to investigating the relationship between epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) in tumour progression and intracellular hypoxic level.
