High-Performing, Dual Purpose, Anti-Cancer Agents

Description

This technology is a series of cyanine-based compounds for efficient targeting of cancerous tissues and fluorescent imaging-guided surgery under Near-Infrared (NIR) imaging. With proven success in animal models, these compounds are specifically engineered for fast targeting, ensuring deep tissue penetration and a strong signal-to-background ratio.

 

Benefits

  • Optimal NIR Properties: With absorption and emission in the NIR window, our compounds offer precise targeting of cancerous tissue and imaging capabilities beyond conventional methods.
  • Sensitive Targeting: Certain compounds exhibit pH sensitivity maximizing imaging clarity even in dynamic physiological conditions.
  • Fluorescent Image-Guided Surgery: With long retention time, certain compounds can help surgeons navigate with confidence and minimize risks associated with incomplete tissue removal.

 

Applications

  • Cancer diagnosis
  • Fluorescent image-guided surgery
  • Intraoperative optical imaging
  • Opto-acoustic imaging modality
