  • Publication number: 20220226511
    Abstract: Described herein are pH responsive compounds, micelles, and compositions useful for the detection of primary and metastatic tumor tissues. Compounds described herein are imaging agents useful for the detection of primary and metastatic tumor tissue (including lymph nodes). Real-time fluorescence imaging during surgery aids surgeon in the detection of metastatic lymph nodes or delineate tumor tissue versus normal tissue, with the goal of achieving negative margins and complete tumor resection.
