Abstract

We report the first dual-responsive 19F MRI and fluorescence imaging probe for cellular hypoxia. The Cu2+-based probe exhibits no 19F MR signal and reduced fluorescence signal due to paramagnetic quenching; however, the probe turns-on in both modes following reduction to Cu+. This bimodal agent can differentiate hypoxic and normoxic cells in both modalities.
