“…To further confirm the tumor-targeting effects of MA-DMPM in vivo , the tumor model of NCI-H1299 cell was used and investigated by monitoring the fluorescence distribution of Cy5-labeled DMPM (Cy5-DMPM). When the tumor volume reached 100 mm 3 , Cy5-DMPM was injected into the tail vein of the mice and imaged using IVIS at different time points (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h) . In addition, to examine the in vivo enrichment of DMPM in tumors, the nude mice were euthanized 24 h after the injection of Cy5-DMPM into the tail vein, and the major organs, such as heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney, and tumor tissues were imaged using IVIS in vitro .…”
