Early diagnosis is vital for improving outcomes, but traditional markers such as serum creatinine and urine output lack sensitivity and timeliness. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging has emerged as a promising tool for early AKI detection due to its deep tissue penetration, high sensitivity, and real-time monitoring capability. This review summarizes the design strategies of NIR fluorescent probes, including fluorophore optimization, linker engineering, and targeting group selection. We focus on their applications in detecting AKI biomarkers, such as Vanin-1, KIM-1, and LAP, which enable sensitive detection in urine or kidney tissue through enzymatic or receptor-mediated mechanisms. Probes targeting oxidative stress markers like reactive oxygen species and peroxynitrite further allow dynamic visualization of early AKI-related changes. Despite their advantages, clinical translation of NIR probes faces challenges, including biocompatibility, targeting precision, imaging depth, and integration with multimodal platforms. Continued optimization of probe design is essential to advance their use in early AKI diagnosis and precision medicine.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":302,"journal":{"name":"Dyes and Pigments","volume":"245 ","pages":"Article 113231"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145095747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By applying our synthetic method, the steps required to synthesize a target asymmetric monomer can be reduced from five to three. Using a custom-designed flow reactor, we carried out palladium-catalyzed Stille coupling reactions to produce an asymmetric phthalimide (PhI) monomer with thiophene (Th) and bromide substituents on each side (Th-PhI-Br), starting from dibromide phthalimide (PhI-Br<sub>2</sub>). With our highly reproducible synthesis system (the standard deviation of the yield for repeated runs was below 2 %), we screened various reaction conditions, including temperature, reaction time, flow rate, PhI-Br<sub>2</sub> to thiophene ratio, and reactant injection sequence. We then examined the correlations between these conditions and the reaction selectivity and yield.

Herein, a “rigid-flexible balance” molecular engineering strategy is proposed to design and synthesize three-dimensional dendritic polymer materials for the first time, featuring MR-TADF units as the core and diphenyl fluorene as block units. The dendritic topology effectively suppresses intermolecular π-π stacking through steric hindrance from the block units, enhancing photoluminescence quantum yield to 60 % and reducing non-radiative transitions. The unique non-conjugated flexible linkage architecture not only preserves the high color purity of the deep blue MR core (CIE: 0.14, 0.12) but also significantly reduces backbone rigidity, endowing the material with superior solution processability and mechanical flexibility. This design, combined with PVK, can form excellent interloped films to further improve the device's stability under bending conditions, solving a key challenge for traditional rigid MR-TADF materials in flexible applications. The OLEDs based on this hyperbranched polymer exhibit a low turn-on voltage of 4.2 V, high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 8.5 %, and narrow emission with FWHM of 52 nm. Remarkably, even after repeated bending of flexible devices, they retain an EQE of 5.9 % with maintained narrowband characteristics.
