A Portable Albumin Binder from a DNA‐Encoded Chemical Library

Seeing eye to eye: Plasma-protein binding is effective in improving the pharmacokinetic properties of otherwise short-lived molecules. One compound in a class of small portable albumin binders can be used to improve the in vivo circulatory half-life of two widely used contrast agents. It improves the imaging performance of fluorescein in angiographic analysis of the retina of mice (see picture).
