Synthesis of fluorinated triphenylphosphonium analogs that improve cancer cell selectivity and in vivo detection

Summary: Triphenylphosphonium (TPP+) compounds like mito-metformin (MMe) target cancer cells by exploiting their hyperpolarized mitochondrial membrane potential. Here, we present a protocol for synthesizing TPP+ analogs with selectivity for mammalian cancer cells, reduced toxicity, and quantifiabili...
