Novel glycoconjugated squaraine dyes for selective optical imaging of cancer cells
Chemical Communications, 2017•pubs.rsc.org
… Herein, we describe the design, synthesis and application of Sq-glucose conjugates for
tumor optical imaging. … In conclusion, we have designed and synthesized novel
carbohydrate appended Sq dyes for optical imaging of tumor cells. Cancer cell selectivity was
achieved with Sq-glucose conjugates by targeting the Warburg effect. The unsymmetrical Sq …
