One of the biggest challenges in bioimaging of nanoparticles is how to identify integral particles from bulk signals of probes. Signals of free probes are always mistakenly counted into total signals of particles. In this study, in vivo fate of intravenous polymeric micelles (PMs, mPEG(2.5k)-PDLLA(2.5k)) was explored using a highly sensitive near-infrared environment-responsive fluorescent probe. This probe is able to emit fluorescence when embedded in nanocarriers but quench spontaneously and absolutely upon release into water, based on the aggregation-caused quenching effect, which means that the interference generated by free probes can be completely diminished. Analysis of blood-borne fluorescence reveals rapid clearance of PMs from blood following a tricompartmental pharmacokinetic model. Live imaging shows pervasive distribution of PMs throughout the body, and a tendency of accumulation to extremities with fluorescence density 3-5 times higher than the trunk. Ex vivo examination reveals that most PMs are found in vital organs following an order of lung > liver > spleen > heart > kidney in concentration, but an order of liver > lung > spleen > heart approximate to kidney in total amount. The distribution to other organs and tissues is even lower, and to brain, negligible. It is concluded that the biodistribution of PMs to vital organs and extremities warns of potential toxicity and can be translated to explain the toxicity of its commercial counterpart with similar chain lengths.
