TPAPyN
TPAPyN is a nitroreductase (NTR) -responsive type I photosensitizer. TPAPyN facilitates the imaging of hypoxic cancer cells and image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) . TPAPyN does not emit fluorescence in the aqueous environment, but restores when NTR cleaves the nitrofuran quencher with aggregation-induced emission. TPAPyN can be used as a fluorescent probe for specific imaging of hypoxic cancer[1].
