SiR-COOH could be used to conjugated inhibitors such as UNC2025 (Mer inhibitor). SiR-COOH is especially useful for small-molecule probes: it exhibits bright photostable fluorescence at near-infrared wavelengths, which are ideal for imaging deep through tissue; fluorescence is robust across physiological environments with little toxicity; it is amenable to super-resolution microscopy; and it exhibits an optimal degree of hydrophilicity for live-cell imaging[2].
