Hypoxia,which is a characteristic of locally advanced solid tumors, resulting from an imbalance between oxygen consumption and supply, can result in NTR overexpression. Using either nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NADH) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH) as a source of reducing equivalents, NTR can catalyze the reduction of nitroaromatic compounds to the corresponding amines.Based on this reduction mechanism, NTR can be applied not only in the bioremediation and degradation of organic nitrogen compounds, but also in the development of NTR-targeted fluorescent probes to detect the hypoxic status of cancer cells. This review aims to provide a summary of the progress in fluorescent probes for NTR in recent years and elucidate the main fluorescent mechanisms that have been applied to design probes.展开更多
