Ratiometric photoacoustic imaging of endogenous HNO in vivo for assessing prodrug release and liver injury

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Jul 18;59(58):8969-8972. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02857g.

Abstract

The effective imaging of endogenous HNO is highly crucial for pathology research and medical development due to its important pharmacological activity in biological systems. Here, a ratiometric photoacoustic probe in response to HNO was rationally developed to effectively assess HNO prodrug release and liver injury in vivo.
