Abstract
Compounds, systems, and methods are provided for the design and assembly of a non-invasive, analyte sensing dressing. The dressing includes a sensor and a matrix. The sensor is capable of detecting analytes such as molecular oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitric oxides, dissolved analytes in plasma, and hydrogen ions. The device emits a detectable signal when the sensor is excited in the presence of the analyte. In one version of the dressing, the sensor includes a meso-unsubstituted metallated porphyrin that is sensitive towards oxygen. The metallated porphyrin can be excited when illuminated at a first wavelength, followed by emission of phosphorescence at a second wavelength whose intensity can be used as an indicator for oxygen concentration. The porphyrin can have the Formula (II):
wherein R1 includes a moiety selected from the group consisting of alkynl groups, triazolyl groups, alkylglutamate groups, and a pair of alkylglutamate groups.
