Abstract

Activity-based detection of γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) using near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes is a promising strategy for early cancer diagnosis. Although NIR pyridinium probes show high performance in biochemical analysis, the aggregation of both the probes and parental fluorochromes in biological environments is prone to result in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SBR), thus affecting their clinical applications. Here, we develop a GGT-activatable aggregate probe called OTBP-G for two-photon fluorescence imaging in various biological environments under 1040 nm excitation. By rationally tunning the hydrophilicity and donor-acceptor strength, we enable a synergistic effect between twisted intramolecular charge transfer and intersystem crossing processes and realize a perfect dark state for OTBP-G before activation. After the enzymatic reaction, the parental fluorochrome exhibits bright aggregation-induced emission peaking at 670 nm. The fluorochrome-to-probe transformation can induce 1000-fold fluorescence ON/OFF ratio, realizing in vitro GGT detection with an SBR > 900. Activation of OTBP-G occurs within 1 min in vivo, showing an SBR > 400 in mouse ear blood vessels. OTBP-G can further enable the early detection of pulmonary metastasis in breast cancer by topically spraying, outperforming the clinical standard hematoxylin and eosin staining. We anticipate that the in-depth study of OTBP-G can prompt the development of early cancer diagnosis and tumor-related physiological research. Moreover, this work highlights the crucial role of hydrophilicity and donor-acceptor strength in maximizing the ON/OFF ratio of the TICT probes and showcases the potential of OTBP as a versatile platform for activity-based sensing.
