Abstract:
It is well established that aberrant cellular biochemical activity is strongly linked to the formation and progression of various cancers. Assays that could aid in cancer diagnostics, assessing anticancer drug resistance, and in the discovery of new anticancer drugs are highly warranted. In recent years, a large number of small molecule-based fluorescent chemosensors have been developed for monitoring the activity of enzymes and small biomolecular constituents. These probes have shown several advantages over traditional methods, such as the ability to directly and selectively measure activity of their targets within complex cellular environments. This review will summarize recently developed fluorescent chemosensors that have potential applications in the field of cancer biology.
