Synthesis of Various Classes of Cyanine Fluorophores and Their Application In In Vivo Tissue Imaging

A novel series of near-infrared fluorescent contrast agents was developed and characterized. Their physicochemical and optical properties were measured. By altering functional groups of cyanine fluorophores, the selective targeting of endocrine glands, exocrine glands, cartilage and bone using NIR f...
