Zopocianine is a near-infrared optical probe targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). This compound selectively binds to PSMA expressed on the surface of cancer cells, facilitating receptor-mediated endocytosis and subsequent accumulation within acidic endosomes. Zopocianine is particularly effective for visualizing small tumors, primary prostate tumors, and locoregional metastases, making it a valuable tool in fluorescence-guided surgery for achieving negative tumor margins. Its applications are primarily in the field of prostate cancer research.
