[PMID: 33307348 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2020.119238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2020] [Revised: 11/01/2020] [Accepted: 11/15/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Two Sulfonate substituted rhodamine hydrophilic fluorescent probes RbS1 and RbS2 were designed and synthesized for specific detection of Fe3+. It was found that the probe RbS2 was stronger than RbS1 in the water solubility test. Both of them displayed responses to Fe3+ with a apparent fluorescence enhancement at 585 nm, accompanied with a distinct fluorescence change to pink. Upon addition of Fe3+ ions (0-16 μM), the emission intensity of RbS1 and RbS2 increased to 40 and 70 fold, which exhibited a good linear relationship with the concentration of Fe3+. The detection limits of RbS1 and RbS2 for sensing Fe3+ were 0.64 μM and 0.56 μM, respectively. The binding ratios of the RbS1 and RbS2 to Fe3+ were 1:1 and the recycling ability for Fe3+ was reasonable. RbS1 and RbS2 have been successfully applied to the determination of Fe3+ in real water samples with satisfactory recovery and accuracy. In further living fish imaging test, the probe RbS2 was distributed into abdomen, which exhibited better fluorescence imaging ability than that of RbS1.

Abstract
A new near-infrared (NIR)-emitting aza-boron-dipyrromethene dye with two electron-donating amino groups at 1- and 7-positions has been prepared via several steps of reactions. This probe showed a NIR absorption at 748 nm with an obvious shoulder peak at 634 nm in CH3CN/H2O. Interestingly, a NIR fluorescence emission at 843 nm was observed with a large Stokes shift of 95 nm. This novel NIR-emitting aza-boron-dipyrromethene dye was further investigated as a Hg2+-sensing fluorescent probe, which selectively bound to Hg2+, showing a blue-shifted and sharp absorption band at 695 nm with the disappearance of the shoulder peak at 634 nm. Correspondingly, the color change could be easily seen from blue to green. Interestingly, the emission exhibited an absolutely "turn-on" peak at 725 nm with a significant blue shift by 118 nm (from 843 to 725 nm), due to the efficient inhibition of the intramolecular-charge-transfer process arising from two amino groups. This probe was finally introduced to Hela cells, showing a "OFF-ON" NIR emission upon exposure to Hg2+. The overall results confirmed that this novel NIR-emitting aza-boron-dipyrromethene fluorescent probe with a large Stokes shift could serve as a colorimetric and fluorescent "turn-on" sensor for Hg2+ in both solutions and living cells.

Abstract
The fluorescent probes with good water-solubility, long-wavelength emission and large Stokes shift are greatly desirable for in vivo detection. Herein, we designed a novel 1,8-naphthalimide-based near-infrared (NIR) optical and fluorescent probe (NTC) for sensing cysteine (Cys). Using acrylate as the recognition site, the probe demonstrated high selectivity and sensitivity for Cys with a low detection limit (0.093 μM) in aqueous buffer solution due to the excellent water-solubility. Upon the reaction with Cys, the recovery of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in the probe led to about 40-fold fluorescence enhancement. Furthermore, the reaction result was investigated by 1H NMR, and HRMS analyses, and the sensing mechanism was validated by quantum calculations. Finally, NTC was applied to image exogenous and endogenous Cys in HeLa cells and zebrafish selectively, implying that the probe possessed great potential application in biological fluorescence sensing.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is one of the most essential bio-thiols to maintain the redox balance of organisms which is strongly associated with many physiological processes. Detecting the concentration and mapping the distribution of GSH in the living system is significant to study many related diseases. In this work, we have successfully constructed an ICT-based model to guide the design and synthesis of GSH specific fluorescent probe CF1. A serials spectroscopy test demonstrated that the response of CF1 towards GSH owned large stokes shift (~167 nm) and an excellent linear relationship (0-120 μM, R2 = 0.9961). Furthermore, CF1 was successfully applied to image endogenous GSH in different cell lines with high sensitivity. This work is instructive for the oriented synthesis of ICT-based functional fluorescent probe and the further visualization of intracellular targets in the living system.

Abstract
Ever-increasing attention has been focused on constructing a sensing system for specific detection of glutathione (GSH) over cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy), which usually interfere with the GSH detection due to their similar structures and the presence of thiol groups in these amino acids. Here, a novel fluorescence-sensing system is developed for highly specific GSH detection over Cys and Hcy. The sensing system is constructed through facilely mixing dipicolinic acid (DPA) and guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP) with cerium acetate at ambient conditions, denoted as DPA-Ce-GMP. The resultant DPA-Ce-GMP possesses fluorescence emission with excellent thermal stability and anti-light bleaching, which can be quenched by copper ions (Cu2+). The GSH, and not Cys or Hcy, can trap Cu2+ from DPA-Ce-GMP, resulting in the restoration of the fluorescence of the sensing system. The limit of detection reaches as low as 7.1 nM. The GSH detection in a real sample of human serum was further explored and exhibits satisfactory recovery. The developed sensing system has the advantages of ease-of-preparation, excellent selectivity and stability, demonstrating its potential application in disease diagnosis in the future.

Abstract
Biothiols such as l-cysteine, l-homocysteine, and glutathione play essential roles in many biological processes, and are directly associated with several health conditions. Therefore, the development of fast, selective, sensitive, and inexpensive methods for quantitatively analyzing biothiols in aqueous solution, but especially in biological samples, is a very attractive research field. In this feature review, we have approached the relevance of biothiols' nucleophilicity to develop selective fluorogenic probes. Since biothiols have considerable structural similarity, relevant strategies are in full development, including several fluorescent molecular platforms, specific receptor sites, reaction conditions, and optical responses. All of these features are properly presented and discussed. Biothiol sensing protocols are based on traditional organic chemistry reactions such as (hetero)aromatic nucleophilic substitution, addition, and substitution at carbonyl carbon, conjugate addition, and nucleophilic substitution at saturated carbon, amongst others including combined processes; furthermore, mechanistic aspects are detailed herein, including some interesting historical contexts. The feasibility of related fluorogenic probes is illustrated by analysis in complex matrices such as serum, cells, tissues, and animal models. Applications of these reactions in more complex systems such as sulfhydryl-based peptides and proteins are also presented, aiming at functionalizing and detecting these nucleophiles. Most literature cited in this review is recent; however, some other prominent works are also detailed. It is believed that this review may be accessible for many academic levels and may efficiently contribute not only to popularizing science but also to the rational development of fluorogenic probes for biothiol sensing.

Abstract
In the last few decades, growing numbers of fluorescent probes have been developed to detect intracellular GSH. However, the majority of probes for GSH were irreversible without monitoring the changes of intracellular GSH concentration. Therefore, recently, fluorescent probes for monitoring concentrations of GSH in real-time in living cells have come into being to address this challenge. This Perspective aimed at the development of reversible probes for GSH was organized by structural features, chemical reactions, and physicochemical properties. The reversible probes designed by a coumarin skeleton as a read-out fluorophore and the Michael addition reaction as a response mechanism accounted for most of the reported reversible probes. The performances of reversible fluorescent probes based on Michael addition could be roughly predicted by fundamental laws of kinetics and thermodynamics in physical chemistry. Essentially, the design principles included a highly reactive site for GSH, a small thermodynamic driving force, a desirable Kd of 1-10 mM, and excellent cell membrane permeability. Prospectively, the development of various mechanisms and fluorophores will be effective measures to enrich the types of reversible probes for GSH.

Abstract
Thiol compounds exist widely on the Earth and have certain significance in the fields of the circulation of the sulfur element and industrial production. However, the odor and biological toxicity of thiol compounds make them pollutants that seriously threaten the environmental safety and the living quality of human. In this study, a novel triplet induced fluorescence "turn-off" strategy was designed for the detection of thiol pollutants via a glutathione-stabilized copper nanocluster (GSH-Cu NC) probe. The as-prepared GSH-Cu NCs not only have small size and good water-solubility, but also exhibit strong red-emitting fluorescence at 630 nm, which could be quenched quantitatively with the increase of the concentration of thiol pollutants. So they were employed to detect thioglycolic acid (TGA), 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), 2-mercaptoethanol (ME) and 2-(diethylamino)ethanethiol (2-AT) in a wide linear range of 1-100 μM with detection limits of 0.73 μM, 0.43 μM, 0.37 μM, and 0.69 μM, respectively. This method was successfully applied to detect the above thiol pollutants in lake water with good recoveries. Moreover, their further application was also expanded as luminous test strips based on the excellent fluorescence characteristics of GSH-Cu NCs for fast real-time detection of thiol pollutants.

Abstract
Nucleolus imaging is important for the understanding of gene expression, proliferation, and growth of cells. Traditional nucleoli localization mainly relies on the use of RNA fluorescent probes which are required in large amounts. These probes also have low selectivity, thus causing the generated images to have high background noise and the localization of nucleoli to become vague. In the present paper, a novel probe for nucleoli localization, BEB-A, which can specifically bind to RNA via the chain reaction of endogenous cysteine (Cys), was designed and developed. In addition to its mitochondria-targeting ability, the BEB-A probe could be used in the imaging of Cys in the cytoplasm, and its product, BEB-OH, could quickly penetrate into the cell nucleus to combine with nucleolar RNA to generate strong red fluorescence signals. The luminescence property and RNA-binding capability of the probe were also investigated via theoretical calculations and molecular docking simulations. This work presents a tool that can be applied to analyze the variation of Cys in mitochondria and RNA in cells.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2020; 412:7811-7817. [PMID: 32870350 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-020-02909-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2020] [Revised: 07/09/2020] [Accepted: 08/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
The fluorescent nanoprobes for reduced thiol compounds (represented by glutathione, GSH) are constructed based on the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminescence mechanism and endosome escape technology. First, a DNA sequence was designed with the decoration of biotin at the 5'-end, disulfide bound in the internal portion, and amino at the 3'-end. The aptamer of the MCF-7 cell was also one of the most important structures in our DNA sequence for the selectivity of MCF-7 cells. We modified streptavidin-modified magnetic beads (MB) with biotin-modified influenza virus hemagglutinin peptide (HA) and biotin-DNA-amino to form MB/DNA/HA. Carboxyl-modified tetraphenylethylene (TPE), an iconic AIE fluorogen, was bonded with amino-modified DNA by covalent interactions (TPE/DNA). Then, the TPE molecule was attached on the outer layer of MB via biotin-modified TPE/DNA to form MB/DNA/HA/TPE. Compared with traditional AIE/biomolecule conjugates, the nanoprobe had an enhanced endosome escape function, due to the assembly of HA. This construction made the intracellular fluorescence response more accurate. In the presence of reduced thiol compounds (take GSH, for example), the disulfide bond on the DNA was reduced by thiol-disulfide exchange reactions and the TPE molecule was released into the solution. The shedding TPE molecule was more hydrophobic than TPE/DNA and the conversion of TPE/DNA to shedding TPE could lead to the aggregation of the TPE fluorogen. Thus, its fluorescence was enhanced. Under the optimized condition, the fluorescence intensity increased with the increase in concentration of GSH' ranging from 1.0 × 10-9 M to 1.0 × 10-5 M' and the detection limit was 1.0 × 10-9 M. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was calculated to be 3.6%. The recovery in cell homogenate was from 94.5 to 102.7%. The nanoprobe provided a way for the detection of reduced thiol compounds in MCF-7 cells. We envision that, in the near future, our strategy of DNA-instructed AIE could be widely applied for biosensing and bioimaging in vitro and even in vivo with dramatically enhanced sensitivity.

Abstract
Reliable and sensitive detection of lipase activity is essential for the early diagnosis and monitoring of acute pancreatitis or progression of digestive diseases. However, the available fluorescent probes for detection of lipase activity are only implemented in a hexane-water two-phase system due to the nature of heterogeneous catalysis of lipase, thus limiting their applications in direct imaging of lipase activity in living cells and tissues. Here we designed and synthesized a "turn on" fluorescent probe CPP based on self-assembled micelles for hydrolysis of lipase. The CPP probe exhibits high selectivity and excellent sensitivity for the detection of lipase in such a homogeneous system and is successfully applied for monitoring lipase activity in pancreatic AR42J cells, tissues, and serums. Taken together, the fluorescent CPP probe not only provides a tool for diagnostic potential in pancreatic disease but also demonstrates an application potential for micelle self-assembly-based development of biological probes.

Abstract
Biothiols and SO2 derivatives, as essential reactive sulfur species (RSS), play vital roles in various physiological processes and have a close network of generation and metabolic pathways among them. To clarify their complex correlations, fluorescent probes to simultaneously detect GSH, Cys, and SO2 derivatives are highly desirable. Herein, we develop the first fluorescent probe (BO-HEM) to simultaneously discriminate GSH, Cys, and SO2 derivatives. The fluorescent probe is designed by integration of hemicyanine and BODIPY fluorophores through an ether bond. The ether bond of the probe is rapidly replaced by thiolates through nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) to generate hemicyanine with NIR fluorescence and sulfur-BODIPY. The amino groups of Cys but not GSH then further replace the thiolate to form amino-BODIPY. As for SO32-, nucleophilic addition to the double bond of BO-HEM generates adduct O-BODIPY with green fluorescence. To further improve the sensing performance, the nanoprobe with increased reactivity and biocompatibility is constructed by encapsulation of BO-HEM into the polymeric micelle. More importantly, by taking advantage of the hydrophilicity of the reaction products, the spectral discrimination was further enhanced to avoid signal interference. The nanoprobe is applied to discriminate biothiols and SO2 derivatives in living cells through three-color fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH), the most abundant nonprotein thiol found in living organisms, are involved in the etiology and progression of many human diseases including cancer. So, monitoring changes of cellular GSH levels has an important guiding significance. To date, however, majority of probes can only qualitatively detect GSH in living cells. Herein, with coumarin as the read-out fluorophore and Michael addition as the sensing mechanism, six fluorescent probes were designed and synthesized. Among them, RP-2 exhibited a reversible and extremely fast response toward GSH (half time: ∼3 s), which endowed RP-2 the capacity of real-time imaging. Among the reversible probes based on Michael addition, RP-2 had both the largest forward and reverse rate constants thus far. The reaction between RP-2 and GSH was studied in detail by density functional theory and fluorescence spectroscopy. Real-time imaging of GSH levels in living cells was achieved with a temporal resolution of seconds. To simplify the processing of images, a program was developed and validated. RP-2 was expected to serve as a new fluorescent imaging tool to understand the function of intracellular GSH in the future.

Abstract
In recent years, targeting drugs made by physical loading or chemical bonding of drugs on small molecular carriers have shown a very wide application prospect in the field of tumor and cancer treatment. How to achieve the release of drugs in cancer cells has become the core of this research. One of the most important bases for drug localization is to use the difference of small molecular biothiol concentration between cancer cells and normal cells. Details of the changes of biothiol levels in the growth and reproduction of cancer cells are still poorly understood, and the main reason is the lack of sensitive real-time imaging tools for biothiols in cancer cells. In this work, we reasonably designed and synthesized the combination of 4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalimide and NBD-Cl as a concise fluorescent probe HN-NBD for imaging biothiols in live cells and zebrafish. In addition, due to the advantages of HN-NBD design, it is sufficiently sensitive to biothiols, and further imaging can distinguish cancer cells from normal cells. Probe HN-NBD would be of great significance to biomedical researchers for the study of biothiol-related diseases, the screening of new anticancer drugs, and the early diagnosis and treatment of cancers.

Abstract
pH fluorescent probes possess many advantages, including intracellular detection, rapid response time and nondestructive testing. In this paper, a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent pH probe based on triethylenetetramine bearing double dansyl groups (1) was synthesized. This probe offers fluorescent measurement of pH value in the range of 5.81-7.21 in aqueous solution, with an 8.64-fold enhancement of fluorescent emission intensity over the unmodified probe. Probe 1 shows a fluorescent color change from a pale yellow to bright green when the pH is increased from 5.81 to 7.21. In addition, probe 1 shows good potential as a fluorescent visualizing sensor for pH values in living GS cells of epinepheluscoioides. The mechanism of the fluorescent response of probe 1 to solution pHs was further clarified by NMR, fluorescent spectra, and UV-vis absorption spectra. The results indicate that the fluorescent emission will shift with an increase in solution pHs, due to increasing deprotonation of the nitrogen atom on the sulfonamides. Deprotonation of the sulfonamide group will inhibits the intramolecular charge transfer process between the imino group and the naphthalene ring, resulting in the recognition phenomenon of blue shift and enhancement of fluorescent emission intensity.

Abstract
A catalytic fluorescent probe based on V-shaped bis-coumarin has been designed and synthesized for detection of palladium (Pd). The detection mechanism of the probe is based on palladium-catalyzed Tsuji‒Trost reaction process and photoinduced electron transfer (PET), which can distinguish and detect palladium (0, +2/+4) in different valence states under different conditions. The fluorescence intensity of the probe enhances after adding the palladium in about 10 min at room temperature. The limit of detection (LOD) of the probe is as low as 40.0 nM (4.2 ng/g), and it has good selectivity and high sensitivity. Apart from that, it has been successfully applied to detection of palladium in environmental waters.

Abstract
The pH/redox dual-sensitive fluorescent carbon dots (pHRCDs) with the fluorescence quantum yield of 16.97% were synthesized by the pyrolysis of l-glutamic acid (l-glu) and dopamine (DA). Compared with the quantum dot (QD)-dopamine conjugate, when the pH value of the solution was changed from neutral to alkaline, the pHRCDs exhibited unique optical phenomenon including red-shift of fluorescence peak and the fluorescence intensity first decreasing from pH 7 to 10 and then increasing from pH 10 to 13. The pHRCDs could be developed for a discriminative and highly sensitive dual-response fluorescent probe for the detection of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and ascorbic acid (AA) activity in human blood. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the dual-response fluorescent probe can detect GSSG and AA in the linear range of 1.2-3.6 and 27-35 μM with the detection limits of 0.1 and 3.1 μM, respectively. In addition, the pHRCDs demonstrated low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility, which can be well applied to in vitro cell imaging, and the pHRCDs/GSH fluorescence system has been successfully developed for the detection of AA in real samples.

Abstract
Small molecular biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), reduced glutathione (GSH), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), play crucial parts in regulating the redox balance of life activities, regulating normal physiological activities and preventing various diseases. Quantitative analysis of these important small molecular substances is very important for revealing their diverse physiological and pathological effects. Although many fluorescent probes have been reported to detect biothiols in cells, it is still not sufficiently advanced to detect biothiols with separated fluorescence emission peak by same wavelength excitation. In our work, we designed a simple conjugate of Nile red and NBD (7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole) as long-wavelength fluorescent probe NR-NBD for the simultaneous discrimination of these biothiols at single wavelength excitation. Probe NR-NBD could efficiently discriminate Cys/Hcy, GSH and H2S by two separated fluorescence emission channels and absorption spectra. Importantly, probe NR-NBD has excellent specificity and sensitivity towards the monitoring of endogenous/exogenous Cys/Hcy and GSH/H2S in living cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) levels are closely related to the homeostasis of redox state which directly affects human disease occurrence by regulating cell apoptosis. Hence, real-time monitoring of dynamic changes in intracellular GSH levels is urgently needed for disease early diagnosis and evaluation of therapy efficiency. In this study, an endogenous cysteine (Cys)-assisted detection system based on GSH@AgNCs and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with high sensitivity and specificity was developed for GSH detection. Compared with GSH, GSH@AgNCs with weaker affinity and bonding force was quite easier to extrude from the rGO surface when competing against GSH, leading to the obvious change in fluorescence signal. This phenomenon was termed as "a crowding out effect". Furthermore, the presence of Cys can improve GSH assay sensitivity by enhancing the quenching efficiency of rGO on the GSH@AgNCs. In vitro assay indicated that the efficiency of fluorescence recovery was positively related with GSH concentration in the range from 0 to 10 mM. In addition, the method was employed for real-time monitoring of the dynamic changes in GSH levels regulated by natural drugs. The imaging results showed that the natural compound 3 (C3) can downregulate GSH levels in HepG2 cells, which was accompanied by reactive oxygen species (ROS) release and apoptosis induction. Finally, the method was used to monitor the change of GSH levels in serum samples with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. The results demonstrated that the occurrence and development of CHB may be positively correlated with GSH levels to some extent. Overall, the above results demonstrate the potential application of this new nanosystem in anticancer natural drug screening and clinical assay regarding GSH levels.

Abstract
Cancer is a global health issue and a leading cause of death. The discrimination of cancer cells from normal cells is of significant importance for the early diagnosis of cancers. As one of the useful biomarkers for developing cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy resistance systems, biothiols not only play an essential role in physiological and pathological processes but also exhibit cytoprotective effects in the susceptibility to carcinogenesis. It would be highly desirable to explore near-infrared biothiol-specific fluorescent probes for cancer diagnosis with outstanding specificity. In this study, a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe BPO-THAZ decorated with thiazole as a recognition site was presented for sensitive and selective detection of endogenous biothiols. BPO-THAZ can be used to not only evaluate the biothiol level in living HeLa cells upon treatment with H2O2 or anti-cancer drugs but also assess endogenous biothiols in stem cells. Furthermore, BPO-THAZ was successfully utilized to discriminate cancer cells from normal cells showing great promise for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Intracellular GSH is the most abundant non-protein biothiol and acts as a central antioxidant to defend against aging toxins and radicals. Meanwhile abnormal level of intracellular GSH concentration is directly related to some diseases. In this case, detecting intracellular GSH rapidly and sensitively is of great significance. We synthesize a simple fluorescent probe (named GP) which can discriminate GSH from Cys (cysteine) or Hcy (homocysteine) and presents a 50-fold fluorescence increasing. The response time of GP to GSH was only 5 min and the product GO (the product of GP after reacting with GSH) after reacting with GSH possesses a larger Stokes shift for 135 nm than that in reported work. Probe GP can detect intracellular effectively and shows obvious yellow fluorescence. Briefly, probe GP can detect intracellular GSH rapidly and effectively both in vitro and in living cells.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) are essential for maintaining the cellular redox homeostasis and play critical roles in pathological and physiological processes. The development of Cys/Hcy-specific responsive fluorescent probes that are independent of the surrounding environment, equipment, and abundant endogenous GSH is critical to accurately investigate the roles of Cys/Hcy in living biological systems. In this work, a novel ratiometric and mitochondria-anchored fluorescence chemosensor, PYR, was constructed on the basis of 4-methylphenol-substituted pyronin fluorophore. The probe exhibited ratiometric fluorescence emission (F540 nm/F620 nm) for the detection of Cys/Hcy with high selectivity, sensitivity (Cys, 22 nM; Hcy, 23 nM), rapid response (Cys, 5 min), and a merit enhancement of ratio fluorescent signal (Cys, 163-fold; Hcy, 125-fold). The probe showed excellent membrane permeability and was applied to visualize mitochondrial biothiols in living cells under H2O2-induced redox imbalance, kidney tissues with a penetration depth of 100 μm, and Daphnia magna model for the first time. The results demonstrate that PYR will provide a promising platform for the diagnosis of thiol-related diseases.

Abstract
A water-soluble turn-on fluorescent probe has been rationally designed and synthesized to distinguish Cys from Hcy and GSH in less than five seconds. It has high sensitivity and strong anti-interference ability to other amino acids and ions. Its ultra-rapid detection of Cys in aqueous systems could be attributed to dual response sites imparted by the probe.

Abstract
Drug-induced hepatotoxicity is the main cause of acute liver injury, and its early diagnosis is indispensable in pharmacological and pathological studies. As a hepatotoxicity indicator, the GSH distribution in the liver could reflect the damage degree in situ. In this work, we have provided a theoretical design strategy to determine the generation of photo-induced electron transfer mechanism and achieve high selectivity for the target. After that, we precisely synthesized a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe BSR1 to specifically monitor endogenous GSH and hepatotoxicity in biosystem with a moderate fluorescent quantum yield (Φ = 0.394) and low detection limit (83 nM) under this strategy. Moreover, this mapping method for imaging GSH depletion in vivo to assay hepatotoxicity may provide a powerful molecular tool for early diagnosis of some diseases and contribute to assay hepatotoxicity for the development of new drugs. Importantly, this theoretical calculation-guided design strategy may provide an effective way for the precise synthesis of the target-specific fluorescent probe and change this research area from "trial-and-error" to concrete molecular engineering.

Abstract
The three most important redox couples, including cysteine (Cys)/cystine (Cyss), homocysteine (Hcys)/homocystine (Hcyss), and reduced glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disulfide (GSSG), are closely associated with human aging and many diseases. Thus, it is highly important to determine their redox statuses at the following two levels: (i) the redox identity in different thiols/disulfides and (ii) the redox ratio in a mixture of a specific couple. Herein, by using one single AIE-doped (AIE, aggregation-induced emission) photonic-structured poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) sphere as a virtual sensor array, we realize a direct determination of the redox status without a reducing pretreatment of disulfides, which will greatly promote the development of high-throughput and simple procedures. The pattern-recognition method uses the multiple noncovalent interactions of imidazolium-based PILs with these redox species to produce differential responses in both the photonic crystal and fluorescence dual channels. On the one hand, a single sphere enables the direct and simultaneous discrimination of the redox identities of Cys, Cyss, Hcys, Hcyss, GSH, and GSSG under the interference of other five commonly occurring thiols. On the other hand, this sphere also allows for not only a direct quantification of the GSH/GSSG ratios without previously determining the individual concentrations of GSH and GSSG but also the accurate prediction of the ratios in unknown redox samples. To further demonstrate applications of this method, redox mixtures in a biological sample are differentiated. Additionally, quantum calculations further support our assignments for interactions between the imidazolium-based PILs and these redox species.

Abstract
Biothiols such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are widely found in mammalian cells. They are closely related to the production and metabolic pathways and play very important roles in physiological and pathological activities. Therefore, the quantitative detection of these biothiols is of great significance. Although many fluorescent probes have been successfully used to track biothiols in biological samples, the fluorescence method for simultaneously detecting these biothiols using separated fluorescence emission channels under single wavelength excitation is still immature. In this work, we prepared the conjugate of seminaphthorhodafluor (SNARF) dye and 7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) using as a simple long-wavelength fluorescent probe SNARF-NBD for specific detection of biothiols. Cys/Hcy and GSH/H2S were identified by two separated fluorescence emission channels under single wavelength excitation, which showed good selectivity and sensitivity. In addition, SNARF-NBD has low cytotoxicity and shows good imaging ability in living cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
In contrast to the classical design of a probe with one binding site to target one specific analyte, probes with multiple interaction sites or, alternatively, with single sites promoting tandem reactions to target one or multiple analytes, have been developed. They have been used in addressing the inherent challenges of selective targeting in the presence of structurally similar compounds and in complex matrices, as well as the visualization of the in vivo interaction or crosstalk between the analytes. Examples of analytes include reactive sulfur species, reactive oxygen species, nucleotides and enzymes. This review focuses on recent innovations in probe design, detection mechanisms and the investigation of biological processes. The vision is to promote the ongoing development of fluorescent probes to enable deeper insight into the physiology of bioactive analytes.
