Abstract:

Oxygen plays an important role in life activities and provides an important source of energy for aerobic organisms. Insufficient oxygen supply will lead to tissue hypoxia. Hypoxia is often closely related to inflammation, chronic wounds, tumors and other diseases, and tissue oxygen concentration is also an important basis for evaluating body health. The enormous advantages of optical imaging in terms of spatial resolution, sensitivity and cost-effectiveness make it an important imaging diagnostic tool for inflammation, cancer, brain diseases, and surgical navigation. In this review, we introduce the synthesis strategies of several hypoxia-responsive optical probes and illustrate the applications of different hypoxia optical probes in tumor detection, inflammation monitoring, wound oxygen content imaging, treatment response monitoring and food packaging. Finally, we discussed the application prospect of hypoxia optical imaging.

Key words: Hypoxia, Phosphorescent probe, Fluorescence probe
