Abstract
The present invention provides a method of targeted molecular imaging and/or targeted drug delivery, wherein two components or probes each interacts with one or more biomarkers on a cell and separately interact with each other to form a stable bond, such as a stable covalent bond. In certain non-limiting embodiments, at least one of the probes is photo-triggered to allow for bonding with at least one second probe. In certain non-limiting embodiments, the cell is a tumor or cancer cell. The present invention also relates to compounds, probes, and kits for use in targeted molecular imaging and/or targeted drug delivery.
