Abstract | Early diagnostics and therapies for diseases such as cancer are limited by the fact that the inducing factors for the development of cytopathies are not clear. The stable polarity of lipid droplets is a potential biomarker for tumor cells; however, the complex intracellular biological environment poses great difficulties for specific detection of the polarity. Therefore, to meet this pressing challenge, we designed a highly selective fluorescent probe, DCI-Cou-polar, which used the ICT mechanism to differentiate normal cells and tumor cells in tissue sections by detecting changes in the polarities of intracellular lipid droplets. The introduction of a cyclic amine at the 7-position of coumarin (benzoquinolizine coumarin) reduced its ability to donate electrons compared with the diethylamino group, which increased the probe selectivity while retaining the sensitivity to polarity. With NIR emission and large Stokes shifts, DCI-Cou-polar has high sensitivity to polarity, excellent photostability, and biocompatibility, and it tracks lipid droplets with high fidelity. Therefore, we believe that this polarity-sensitive probe provides information on the connection between the polarity of lipid droplets and tumors while improving the development of highly selective polarity probes. |
