Quinone Methide Based Self-Immobilizing Molecular Fluorescent Probes for In Situ Imaging of Enzymes

© 2024 Wiley‐VCH GmbH..

Enzymes play important roles not only in normal physiological processes but in the development of many diseases. In situ imaging of enzymes with high-resolution in living systems would helpful for clinical diagnosis and treatment. However, many molecular fluorescent probes suffer from the drawback of diffusing away from the reaction site of enzymes even out of the cells, losing the in situ information and resulting in poor imaging resolution. Quinone methide (QM) based self-immobilizing probes allow the fluorescent signal to be immobilized near the target for an extended period without deactivating the target enzymes, ensuring that it will provide amplified signals and in situ information of the target with high resolution. In this review, we summarized the recent progress of QM-based self-immobilizing probes including their design strategies, working mechanisms, classifications and applications in in situ enzyme imaging. This review calls for the development of more activatable QM-based probe with the advantages of high stability in the absence of the target but very high labeling efficiency after activation.
