Abstract:
A photoacoustic (PA) imaging probe, HCy-SH, was designed and synthesized. This probe can react rapidly and specifically with sulfane sulfur to produce a strong PA signal. This probe also exhibited low cytotoxicity and biotoxicity. Thus, HCy-SH has been used for visual diagnosis of acute cerebral ischemia.
