Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) to aid in the precise visualization of vital nerve structures in real-time intraoperatively could greatly improve patient outcomes. We took a medicinal chemistry approach that facilitated the design of our first-in-class NIR nerve-binding small molecule fluorophore libraries with excitation and emission profiles compatible with the “700-” and “800-” nm fluorescence imaging channels in the clinical grade FGS systems. Molecular engineering of the lead candidates allowed for the development of water-soluble nerve-specific contrast agents with improved safety profile that has great potential for clinical translation in the near future.
