In comparison with the popular Ac4ManNAz applied as cell labels via Cu-free click chemistry, two novel azido mannosamine lipids with C6 and C12 esters on anomeric hydroxyl groups were prepared and encapsulated in a liposome delivery system, which enhanced chemical stabilities and showed good cell-metabolizable labeling efficiency on MDA-MB-231 cells with strong fluorescence after the treatment of DBCO-Cy5 by triazole formation via click chemistry.
