Novel biocompatible fluorescent polymeric micelles based on 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives for cell imaging†
Abstract
Two novel fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles developed by the aqueous self-assembly of micelles exhibited the desired permeability for cell imaging. In particular, one of the fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles has been successfully used as an excellent intracellular pH sensor in whole living cells, based on PET inhibition.
