Abstract
Developing a theranostic system that integrates multimodal imaging, synergistic therapeutic, and formulation entities is a promising strategy for efficient cancer treatment. However, the complexity and safety concerns of multiple functional entities hinder their clinical translation. Herein, versatile "all-in-one" heptamethine cyanine amphiphiles (PEG-Cy-Fs) with multiple favorable capabilities, including fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging (19 F MRI), near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIR FLI), photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), polyethylene glycolation (PEGylation) and high biocompatibility, are developed for the convenient construction of theranostic platforms. Amphiphiles PEG-Cy-Fs are synthesized on a multi-hundred-milligram scale with high efficacy, which self-assembled with a chemotherapy drug tamoxifen (TAM) into monodisperse and stable nanoparticles (SoFoTm/PEG-Cy-F18 ) with "turned on" FLI, sensitive 19 F MRI, mitochondria-targeting ability, high PDT and PTT efficacy, and PEGylation-optimized pharmacokinetics. The selective accumulation of SoFoTm/PEG-Cy-F18 in xenograft MCF-7 tumor with a long retention time (>10 days) enabled 19 F MRI-NIR FLI-guided chemo-photodynamic-photothermal therapy (chemo-PDT-PTT) of breast cancer with high therapeutical index in mice. The "all-in-one" heptamethine cyanine amphiphile may facilitate the convenient and standardized preparation of high-performance theranostics systems for clinical translation.

Abstract
19 F MRI is a unique technique for tracking and quantifying the indicator (19 F-MRI label) in vivo without the use of ionizing radiation. Here we report new 19 F-MRI labels, which are compounds with perfluoro-tert-butyl groups: 1,2-bis(perfluoro-tert-butoxy)ethane (C10 F18 H4 O2 ) and 1,3-bis(perfluoro-tert-butyl)propane (C11 F18 H6 ). Both substances contain 18 equivalent 19 F atoms, constituting 68.67 % and 71.25 % of the molecule, respectively. The emulsions with 19 F molecules were prepared and used in 19 F MRI studies in laboratory rats in vivo. The substances demonstrated high contrast properties, good biological inertness and the ability to be rapidly eliminated from the body. We showed that at a dose of 0.34 mg/g of body weight in rats, the time for complete elimination of C10 F18 H4 O2 and C11 F18 H6 is ∼30 days. The results turned out to be promising for the use of the presented compounds in 19 F MRI applications, especially since they are quite easy to synthesize.

Abstract
Dual-imaging agents with highly sensitive fluorescence (FL) imaging and highly selective fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging (19F MRI) are valuable for biomedical research. At the same time, photosensitizers with a high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating capability are crucial for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer. Herein, a series of tetra-trifluoromethylated aza-boron dipyrromethenes (aza-BODIPYs) were conveniently synthesized from readily available building blocks and their physicochemical properties, including ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption, FL emission, photothermal efficacy, ROS generating efficacy, and 19F MRI sensitivity, were systematically investigated. An aza-BODIPY with 12 symmetrical fluorines was identified as a potent FL-19F MRI dual-imaging traceable photodynamic agent. It was found that the selective introduction of trifluoromethyl (CF3) groups into aza-BODIPYs may considerably improve their UV absorption, FL emission, photothermal efficacy, and ROS generating properties, which lays the foundation for the rational design of trifluoromethylated aza-BODIPYs in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Aliphatic polyesters are among materials most extensively used for producing biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles currently in development as delivery carriers and imaging agents for a range of biomedical applications. Their clinical translation requires robust particle labeling methodologies that allow reliably monitoring the fate of these formulations in complex biological environments. In the present study, a practical and versatile synthetic strategy providing conjugates of poly(D,L-lactide) representative of this class of polymers with BODIPY fluorophores varying in functional groups and excitation/emission maxima was investigated as a tool for making traceable nanoparticles. Polymer-probe conjugation was accomplished by carbodiimide-induced and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium 4-toluenesulfonate-catalyzed esterification of the polymer's terminal hydroxyl group, either directly with a carboxy-functionalized fluorophore or with amine-protected amino acids (Boc-glycine or Boc-6-aminohexanoic acid). In the latter case, the amino acid-derivatized polymeric precursors were reacted with amine-reactive BODIPY dyes after the removal of the protective group. Unlike nanoparticles encapsulating a strongly hydrophobic BODIPY505/515 (logPo/w = 4.3), nanoparticles labeled covalently with its carboxy-functionalized analogue (BODIPY FL) demonstrated stable particle-tracer association under perfect sink conditions. Furthermore, in contrast to the encapsulated dye rapidly partitioning from particles onto cell membranes but not stably retained by cultured cells, the internalization of the covalently attached probe was an irreversible process requiring the presence of serum, consistent with active nanoparticle uptake by endocytosis. In conclusion, the conjugation of particle-forming polymers with BODIPY fluorophores offers an effective and accessible labeling strategy for making traceable polyester-based biodegradable nanoparticles and is expected to facilitate their development and optimization as therapeutic carriers and diagnostic agents.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most powerful imaging tools today, capable of displaying superior soft-tissue contrast. This review discusses developments in the field of 19 F MRI multimodal probes in combination with optical fluorescence imaging (OFI), 1 H MRI, chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI, ultrasonography (USG), X-ray computed tomography (CT), single photon emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). In each case, multimodal 19 F MRI probes compensate for the deficiency of individual techniques and offer improved sensitivity or accuracy of detection over unimodal counterparts. Strategies for designing 19 F MRI multimodal probes are described with respect to their structure, physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and the quality of images.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify a high-affinity BODIPY peptidomimetic that targets the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a potential bimodal imaging probe for prostate cancer. For the structure-activity study, several BODIPY (difluoroboron dipyrromethene) derivatives with varying spacers between the BODIPY dye and the PSMA Glu-CO-Lys binding motif were prepared. Corresponding affinities were determined by competitive binding assays in PSMA-positive LNCaP cells. One compound was identified with comparable affinity (IC50 =21.5±0.1 nM) to Glu-CO-Lys-Ahx-HBED-CC (PSMA-11) (IC50 =18.4±0.2 nM). Radiolabeling was achieved by Lewis-acid-mediated 19 F/18 F exchange in moderate molar activities (∼0.7 MBq nmol-1 ) and high radiochemical purities (>99 %) with mean radiochemical yields of 20-30 %. Cell internalization of the 18 F-labeled high-affinity conjugate was demonstrated in LNCaP cells showing gradual increasing PSMA-mediated internalization over time. By fluorescence microscopy, localization of the high-affinity BODIPY-PSMA conjugate was found in the cell membrane at early time points and also in subcellular compartments at later time points. In summary, a high-affinity BODIPY-PSMA conjugate has been identified as a suitable candidate for the development of PSMA-specific dual-imaging agents.

Abstract

Molecular imaging
techniques are essential tools for better investigating
biological processes and detecting disease biomarkers with improvement
of both diagnosis and therapy monitoring. Often, a single imaging
technique is not sufficient to obtain comprehensive information at
different levels. Multimodal diagnostic probes are key tools to enable
imaging across multiple scales. The direct registration of in vivo imaging markers with ex vivo imaging
at the cellular level with a single probe is still challenging. Fluorinated
(19F) probes have been increasingly showing promising potentialities
for in vivo cell tracking by 19F-MRI.
Here we present the unique features of a bioorthogonal 19F-probe that enables direct signal correlation of MRI with Raman
imaging. In particular, we reveal the ability of PERFECTA, a superfluorinated
molecule, to exhibit a remarkable intense Raman signal distinct from
cell and tissue fingerprints. Therefore, PERFECTA combines in a single
molecule excellent characteristics for both macroscopic in
vivo19F-MRI, across the whole body, and microscopic
imaging at tissue and cellular levels by Raman imaging.

Abstract
The synthesis of fluorine-containing small molecules has had numerous benefits of improving the quality and efficiency of many applications of these compounds. For example, fluorine adds promising functionalities in various areas of imaging (MRI, PET, and NIR); gives cell-targeting properties; and has demonstrated improvements in cell permeability, solubility, and other pharmacologic properties. For these and other numerous reasons, fluorination of molecules has grown in popularity in various fields of chemistry. Many reports show the effects observed from increasing the number of fluorine atoms on a fluorophore scaffold. This report will cover the most significant applications and improvements that fluorine has contributed to in various dye scaffolds such as BODIPY, rhodamine, phthalocyanine, and cyanine in the recent decade.

Abstract
As a versatile quantification and tracking technology, 19F magnetic resonance imaging (19F MRI) provides quantitative "hot-spot" images without ionizing radiation, tissue depth limit, and background interference. However, the lack of suitable imaging agents severely hampers its clinical application. First, because the 19F signals are solely originated from imaging agents, the relatively low sensitivity of MRI technology requires high local 19F concentrations to generate images, which are often beyond the reach of many 19F MRI agents. Second, the peculiar physicochemical properties of many fluorinated compounds usually lead to low 19F signal intensity, tedious formulation, severe organ retention, etc. Therefore, the development of 19F MRI agents with high sensitivity and with suitable physicochemical and biological properties is of great importance. To this end, perfluoro-tert-butanol (PFTB), containing nine equivalent 19F and a modifiable hydroxyl group, has outperformed most perfluorocarbons as a valuable building block for high performance 19F MRI agents. Herein, we summarize the development and application of PFTB-based 19F MRI agents and analyze the strategies to improve their sensitivity and physicochemical and biological properties. In the context of PFC-based 19F MRI agents, we also discuss the challenges and prospects of PFTB-based 19F MRI agents.

Abstract
A small series of boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes, characterized by the presence of multibranched fluorinated residues, were designed and synthesized. The dyes differ in both the position (para-perfluoroalkoxy-substituted phenyl ring or boron functionalization) and number of magnetically equivalent fluorine atoms (27 or 54 fluorine atoms per molecule). Photophysical and crystallographic characterization of the synthesized BODIPYs was carried out to evaluate the effect of the presence of highly fluorinated moieties on the optical and morphological properties of such compounds.
