In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Rational Design of a Multifunctional Molecular Dye with Single Dose and Laser for Efficiency NIR-II Fluorescence/Photoacoustic Imaging Guided Photothermal Therapy, published in 2019-10-01, which mentions a compound: 3395-91-3, Name is Methyl 3-bromopropanoate, Molecular C4H7BrO2, Application of 3395-91-3.
Multifunctional probes integrating accurate multi-diagnosis and efficient therapy hold great prospect in biomedical research. However, the sophisticated construction and difficulties in matching the ratios of doses and laser triggers of probes for each modality imaging and therapy are still hindered the extensive practice of multifunctional probes in biomedicine. We herein rational designed an organic dye SY1080 with intrinsic multifunction by both introducing 3,4-ethylenedioxy thiophene (EDOT) and the selenium containing acceptor unit into the backbone to balance the fluorescence brightness and emission wavelength. Under single dose and 808 nm laser irradiation conditions, SY1080 not only carried out NIR-II fluorescence/Photoacoustic imaging of real-time and noninvasive tumor delineation with excellent contrast, but also effectively ablated tumors with laser irradiation to perform PTT under the guidance of dual-modal imaging. These exciting results highlighted SY1080 as a multifunctional and universal phototheranostic platform for potential applications.
The article 《Rational Design of a Multifunctional Molecular Dye with Single Dose and Laser for Efficiency NIR-II Fluorescence/Photoacoustic Imaging Guided Photothermal Therapy》 also mentions many details about this compound(3395-91-3)Application of 3395-91-3, you can pay attention to it, because details determine success or failure
