Communication In Vitro and in Vivo Fluorescent Imaging of a Monofunctional Chelated Platinum Complex Excitable Using Visible Light

The biological fluorescent distribution of a model antitumor monofunctional platinum(II) complex bearing a 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole fluorophore can be visualized in breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells, pulmonary carcinoma A549 cells, kidney epithelial 293T cells, and zebrafish larva.
