Description of MHI-148

MHI-148 is a near-infrared heptamethine cyanine dye with tumor-targeting properties (excitation/emission wavelengths: 740/950nm). MHI-148 can be specifically taken up and accumulated in the lysosomes and mitochondria of tumor cells via a hypoxia-mediated mechanism. MHI-148 can be used for research related to tumor detection, diagnosis, and photodynamic therapy[1-4].

Protocol of MHI-148

Application of MHI-148 for Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging in a Lung Cancer Model[1]

This protocol is adapted from research data and provided for reference only. Adjustments may be necessary based on specific experimental requirements.

1. Reagent Preparation: MHI-148 is dissolved in PBS buffer to prepare a solution with a concentration of 7.5µM.

2. Cell and Animal Model Preparation: A549 cells are routinely subcultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum under conditions of 37°C and 5% CO₂. An A549 cell suspension (5×10⁶ cells) is subcutaneously injected into the right flank of nude mice. The tumors are allowed to grow for 6-8 weeks until reaching approximately 0.8cm in diameter before being used for imaging experiments.

3. In Vivo Fluorescence Imaging: MHI-148 injection (dose: 1.5nmol/mouse) is administered intravenously via the tail vein to tumor-bearing mice. In vivo imaging is performed using a small animal imaging system (excitation/emission wavelengths: 740/950nm). The tumor-to-background signal ratio (TBR) is calculated using muscle tissue from the contralateral side at the same position as the background.

4. Ex Vivo Fluorescence Imaging: Mice are sacrificed at 2, 6, 24, 48, and 96 hours after MHI-148 injection, and major organs (tumor, heart, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, intestine, muscle, bone) are harvested. The fluorescence intensity of each tissue is measured using the same imaging system, and the signal ratio of tumor to muscle is calculated.

Precautions:

(1) MHI-148 is water-soluble, primarily cleared from the body via the liver and intestine, exhibits low residual fluorescence in non-target organs, and provides a high signal-to-noise ratio.

(2) Please comply with animal experiment ethics guidelines and obtain approval from the relevant Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

(3) For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves during operation.
