A multicomponent reaction platform towards multimodal near-infrared BODIPY dyes for STED and fluorescence lifetime imaging Fernández, Antonio González García, María del Carmen Espinar Barranco, Laura González Vera, Juan Antonio Orte Gutiérrez, Ángel We report a platform combining multicomponent reaction synthesis and automated cell-based screening to develop biocompatible NIR-BODIPY fluorophores. From a library of over 60 fluorophores, we optimised compound NIRBD-62c as a multimodal probe with suitable properties for STED superresolution and fluorescence lifetime imaging. Furthermore, we employed NIRBD-62c for imaging trafficking inside cells and to examine how pharmacological inhibitors can alter the vesicular traffic between intracellular compartments and the plasma membrane. 2022-09-26T10:31:28Z 2022-09-26T10:31:28Z 2022-08-25 journal article RSC Chem.
