A Promising Family of Fluorescent Water-Soluble aza-BODIPY Dyes for in Vivo Molecular Imaging

Abstract: A new family of water-soluble and bioconjugatable aza-BODIPY fluorophores was designed and synthesized using a boron-functionalization strategy. These dissymmetric bis-ammonium aza-BODIPY dyes present optimal properties for a fluorescent probe; i.e., they are highly water-soluble, very stable in physiological medium; they do not aggregate in PBS, possess high quantum yield; and finally, they can be easily bioconjugated to antibodies. Preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies were performed for one of these fluo… Show more

“…Detailed syntheses and analyses-NMR, mass-analyses (the calculations are based on the mass of the most abundant isotopologue, unless otherwise specified), and HPLC-MS-can be found in ESI and previously reported studies [29,48]. ( 1 H, 11 B, 13 C, 19 F)-NMR spectra were recorded at 300 K on Bruker 500 Avance III or 600 Avance III spectrometers.…”

“…To bridge this gap, we decided to tether a 10 B-BSH on a NIR-emitting BODIPY derivative named aza-BODIPY ( Figure 1b), thereby creating a theranostic system gathering the advantages of both aza-BODIPY and 10 B-BSH components. media (i.e., water, PBS, or serum), by substituting the fluorine atoms on the boron by alkyne ammonium groups [34,35,48]. Very recently, we used this strategy on a particular Donor-Acceptor-Donor' aza-BODIPY structure, which emits in the SWIR region, yielding a water-soluble derivative SWIR-WAZABY-01 (See the ESI and Reference [29]; WAZABY for Water-Soluble aza-BODIPY).…”

“…30,33,34 Very recently, some of us succeeded in designing fully water-soluble aza-BODIPY derivatives, called Wazaby (for watersoluble aza-BODIPY), thanks to the introduction of ammonium groups via boron functionalization (functionalizing boron induced aza-BODIPY faces hindrance, which prevented aggregation) ( Figure 1). 27 These probes were bioconjugated onto antibodies, were very stable in physiological media, and presented better in vivo optical properties than the Cy5, used as a control.…”
