Real-time imaging of alkaline phosphatase activity of diabetes in mice via a near-infrared fluorescent probe

Abstract

A novel water-soluble near-infrared fluorescent probe named QX-P with simple synthesis is developed. QX-P has high sensitivity and selectivity to ALP. Moreover, the probe can not only visualize ALP activity in four cell lines, but also real-time image ALP activity during the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes in mice.
