BTCy
BTCy is a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe with polarity-responsive and cell plasma membrane-targeting properties. BTCy can be used for in vivo imaging of tumor tissue (λex = 561 nm, λem = 600-700 nm).

Biological Activity
BTCy (0-50 μM; 24 h) has low cytotoxicity and is biocompatible for living cells[1].
BTCy exhibits good fluorescence stability and is able to detect the polarity change selectively[1].
BTCy (10 μM) stains HeLa and HepG2 cells. The cell plasma membrane is specifically and strongly lit up after being stained for 0.5–5 h. The fluorescence intensity of BTCy on the cell plasma membrane shows slight reduction after 2 h[1].
BTCy (0.1-10 μM; 30 min) stain shows specific fluorescence on the cell plasma membrane even at a low concentration at 100 nM in HeLa cells[1].
BTCy (0.1-10 μM; 30 min) can be used for monitoring cell plasma membrane polarity variation during the ferroptosis process[1].
