[PMID: 35189492 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2022.121043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2021] [Revised: 01/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), one of redox-active sulfur species, is known as a signaling molecule and an antioxidant in biological tissues to maintain cellular functions. The development of selective and sensitive H2S detection is important to understand the role of H2S in vivo. Herein, a new two-photon probe NNE was developed to detect hydrogen sulfide using 6-acetyl-N-methyl-2-naphthylamine with an attachment of 7-nitrobenzo-oxadiazole. The probe NNE exhibits high selectivity towards hydrogen sulfide over other anions. Nucleophilic substitution of H2S leads to a turn-on response with 28-fold enhancement in quantum yield (from 0.004 to 0.117). NNE shows a high sensitivity towards hydrogen sulfide with an extremely low detection limit at 6.8 nM. Furthermore, the probe NNE exhibits two-photon excited fluorescence, making it a suitable probe for monitoring H2S distribution in live cells and tissues without background fluorescence interference.

Abstract
Although photothermal immunotherapy (PTI) is a compelling strategy for tumor therapy, the development of promising photothermal agents to overcome the insufficient immunogenicity of tumor cells and the poor immune response encountered in PTI is still challenging. Herein, commercial small-molecule-based organic metal adjuvants (OMAs) are presented, with second near-infrared photoacoustic and photothermal properties as well as the ability to perturb redox homeostasis to potentiate immunogenicity and immune responsiveness. OMAs, assembled from charge-transfer complexes and characterized by a broad substrate scope, high accessibility, and flexibly tuned optical properties, demonstrate strong phototherapeutic and adjuvant abilities via the depletion of glutathione and cysteine, and subsequently elicit systemic immunity by evoking immunogenic cell death, promoting dendritic cell maturation, and increasing T cell infiltration. Furthermore, programmed cell death protein 1 antibody can be employed to synergize with OMAs to suppress tumor immune evasion and ultimately improve the treatment outcomes. This study unlocks new paradigms to provide a versatile OMA-based scaffold for future practical applications.

Fluorescent-based nanosensors for selective detection of a wide range of biological macromolecules: A comprehensive review. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 206:115-147.

Abstract
Thanks to their unique attributes, such as good sensitivity, selectivity, high surface-to-volume ratio, and versatile optical and electronic properties, fluorescent-based bioprobes have been used to create highly sensitive nanobiosensors to detect various biological and chemical agents. These sensors are superior to other analytical instrumentation techniques like gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis for being biodegradable, eco-friendly, and more economical, operational, and cost-effective. Moreover, several reports have also highlighted their application in the early detection of biomarkers associated with drug-induced organ damage such as liver, kidney, or lungs. In the present work, we comprehensively overviewed the electrochemical sensors that employ nanomaterials (nanoparticles/colloids or quantum dots, carbon dots, or nanoscaled metal-organic frameworks, etc.) to detect a variety of biological macromolecules based on fluorescent emission spectra. In addition, the most important mechanisms and methods to sense amino acids, protein, peptides, enzymes, carbohydrates, neurotransmitters, nucleic acids, vitamins, ions, metals, and electrolytes, blood gases, drugs (i.e., anti-inflammatory agents and antibiotics), toxins, alkaloids, antioxidants, cancer biomarkers, urinary metabolites (i.e., urea, uric acid, and creatinine), and pathogenic microorganisms were outlined and compared in terms of their selectivity and sensitivity. Altogether, the small dimensions and capability of these nanosensors for sensitive, label-free, real-time sensing of chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical agents could be used in array-based screening and in-vitro or in-vivo diagnostics. Although fluorescent nanoprobes are widely applied in determining biological macromolecules, unfortunately, they present many challenges and limitations. Efforts must be made to minimize such limitations in utilizing such nanobiosensors with an emphasis on their commercial developments. We believe that the current review can foster the wider incorporation of nanomedicine and will be of particular interest to researchers working on fluorescence technology, material chemistry, coordination polymers, and related research areas.

Abstract
We report the effect of pH on the supramolecular complexation of two biothiols, viz., homocysteine (Hcy) and cysteine (Cys), with cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]). Under basic pH conditions, Cys did not complex with CB[7], whereas Hcy efficiently complexed with CB[7], as confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and Ellman's reagent (5,5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), DTNB) assay. 1H NMR and Raman spectroscopic studies revealed that, in the absence of CB[7], Hcy auto-oxidized slowly (~36 h) to homocystine (HSSH) under basic pH conditions. However, the rate of Hcy oxidation increased by up to 150 fold in the presence of CB[7], as suggested by the DTNB assay. Thus, supramolecular complexation under basic pH conditions led to the formation of a HSSH-CB[7] complex, and not Hcy-CB[7]. The results indicate that Hcy is rapidly oxidized to HSSH under the catalysis of CB[7], which acts as a reaction chamber, in basic pH conditions. Our studies suggest that Hcy concentration, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, can be selectively and more easily quantified by supramolecular complexation with CB [7].

Abstract
Small molecular biothiols, including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), play essential roles in maintaining the redox homeostasis of biological systems, the disorders of which are closely associated with neuropathology. To date, many probes have been developed to identify Cys and GSH; however, due to the relatively low content and the high structural homology with Cys, there is still a lack of effective strategies to design probes enabling Hcy detection in physiological environments with high selectivity, high sensitivity, and rapid response. Herein, we developed a reaction-kinetics/sequence-differentiation strategy based on a dual-binding-site boron-dipyrrin (BODIPY) fluorophore, which was able to selectively distinguish Hcy from Cys and GSH within 50 s though a ratiometric fluorescence response mode. Benefiting from these features, the probe is capable of real-time imaging and quantitative analysis of intracellular Hcy in living neurons. Moreover, results of the disease-model experiments at the cellular level indicated a gradual increase of the Hcy level in neurons during the processes of aggregated amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide or ischemia treatment, which would further promote the neuron apoptosis. These findings provide the first direct experimental evidence for the impact of Alzheimer's disease and ischemic stroke on the Hcy metabolism of brain neurons and the associated neuron injury.

Abstract
Low molecular weight thiols (biothiols) are highly active compounds extensively involved in human physiology. Their abnormal levels have been associated with multiple diseases. In recent years, major efforts have been devoted to developing new nanosensing methods for the low cost and fast quantification of this class of analytes in minimally pre-treated samples. Herein, we present a novel strategy for engineering a highly efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy platform for the dynamic sensing of biothiols. Colloidally stable silver nanoparticles clusters equipped with a specifically designed azobenzene derivative (AzoProbe) were generated as highly SERS active substrates. In the presence of small biothiols (e.g., glutathione, GSH), breakage of the AzoProbe diazo bond causes drastic spectral changes that can be quantitatively correlated with the biothiol content with a limit of detection of ca. 5 nM for GSH. An identical response was observed for other low molecular weight thiols, while larger macromolecules with free thiol groups (e.g., bovine serum albumin) do not produce distinguishable spectral alterations. This indicates the suitability of the SERS sensing platform for the selective quantification of small biothiols.

Abstract
Developing probes to simultaneously detect and discriminate biothiols is important, yet challenging. Activatable photoacoustic (PA) probes for discriminating biothiols in vivo are still lacking, and this hinders the diagnosis of thiol-related diseases. Herein we present the first PA and fluorescence dual-modality probe MB-NBD for discriminating different biothiol species. The probe has the advantages of both fluorescence imaging and PA imaging (high sensitivity and deep penetration) with distinct signal patterns toward hydrogen sulfide (H2S), cysteine/homocysteine (Cys/Hcy), and glutathione (GSH) treatment. The biothiol-activated product of MB-NBD exhibits enhancements in near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) at 690 nm and absorbance/PA at 664 nm upon fast reaction, allowing it to selectively detect biothiol species over other reactive species. On the other hand, MB-NBD displays characteristic absorbance enhancement at 547 nm toward H2S, rendering specific detection of H2S. In addition, the specific enhancements in absorbance/PA at 470 nm and fluorescence at 550 nm toward Cys/Hcy treatment endows the probe with the capability of selectively detecting Cys/Hcy. Furthermore, MB-NBD is able to discriminate Cys and GSH by fluorescent imaging in live-cell and ratiometric PA imaging in mice experiments. MB-NBD has been successfully used to diagnose tumors by dual-channel ratiometric PA imaging.

Abstract
A chromophoric bifunctional probe design that allows selective chiroptical sensing of cysteine in aqueous solution is introduced. The common need for chiral HPLC separation is eliminated which expedites and simplifies the sample analysis while reducing solvent waste. Screening of the reaction between six phenacyl bromides and the enantiomers of cysteine showed that cyclization to an unsaturated thiomorpholine scaffold coincides with characteristic UV and CD effects, in particular when the reagent carries a proximate auxochromic nitro group. The UV changes and CD inductions were successfully used for determination of the absolute configuration, enantiomeric composition and total concentration of 18 test samples. This assay is highly selective for free cysteine while other amino acids, cysteine derived small peptides and biothiols do not interfere with the chiroptical signal generation.

Abstract
This work reports a chemiluminescence assay for the highly selective determination of cysteine in biological fluids without separation techniques. The method is based on the ability of cysteine to selectively enhance the metal-catalyzed chemiluminescence generated by the oxidation of luminol from gold tetrachloride anions under alkaline conditions. The selectivity of the method stems from the fact that, under strongly alkaline conditions, the formation of the four-membered ring transition state of cysteine is less favorable as compared to the formation of the respective 5- and 9- membered ring transition states of homocysteine and glutathione, respectively. These transition states exert stronger hindrance and hydrophobic interactions repelling the negatively charged luminol dianion and possibly exhibit lower reducing ability for dissolved oxygen, towards the formation of superoxide radicals, thus reducing the oxidation of luminol. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the linear range of the method extended from 0.5 to 20 μΜ while cysteine could be determined at concentrations as low as 0.5 μM, with good reproducibility (<3.5%) and recoveries between 80 and 93% in artificial and real biological fluids.

Abstract
A direct and regioselective C-H/P-H cross-coupling of dialkyl phosphites, and diphenylphosphine oxide to easily available BODIPYs through an Ag-mediated radical addition, resulted in a series of new α-phosphorylated BODIPY fluorophores under mild conditions. Hydrolysis of the phosphonate gave the corresponding BODIPY phosphoric acid, which is soluble and fluorescent in water with a high quantum yield of 0.83.

Abstract
When the cell environment changes or is stimulated, the Golgi apparatus will respond to the corresponding stress, through the opening of related pathways, the expression of corresponding substances can be promoted or inhibited to achieve the purpose of controlling cell redox homeostasis and reducing cytotoxicity. Intuitive analysis of the changes in the content of various substances in the process of stress has important guiding value for the further study of stress response, drug evaluation and clinical diagnosis. Therefore, for the Cys overexpressed during the oxidative stress of the Golgi apparatus, we developed a specific and sensitive fluorescent probe (Gol-NCS) to visually monitor the biologically important Cys in real time. The probe has low cytotoxicity and shows great potential in cell and zebrafish imaging, it can detect the changes of endogenous and exogenous cysteine. It is important to explore the synthetic pathway of Cys during Golgi stress by using the Golgi targeting performance of the probe Gol-NCS. It is confirmed by fluorescence imaging for the first time that the activity of CSE enzyme plays a decisive role in the formation of Cys. Therefore, probe Gol-NCS with excellent photochemical properties is expected to provide help for the research on the involvement of Cys in Golgi stress.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a highly invasive malignant tumor of the liver, which is the main cause of cancer-related death. The cancerization of hepatocytes may lead to the changes of cell microenvironment, active substances, and enzymes. Viscosity is one of the important parameters of cell microenvironment. Therefore, the study of the change in the viscosity of hepatocytes is very important for the detection and treatment of liver cancer. However, the hepatocyte-specific fluorescent probes which can detect viscosity have not been developed yet. Herein, the first hepatocyte-specific fluorescent probe (HT-V) for viscosity detection was designed and synthesized, which exhibited excellent optical properties for biological imaging studies. By using the unique probe HT-V, compared with the normal liver cells, a significant increase of viscosity in the liver cancer cells was observed in the cell imaging experiment. The organ imaging experiments showed that the probe HT-V could be successfully used to diagnose and image hepatocellular carcinoma in vivo. In addition, in situ imaging revealed that the new probe HT-V can specifically target and image hepatocellular carcinoma in mice. We expected that this powerful tool may provide guidance for the detection and imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma in the future.

Abstract
Synthetic molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors used in combination with innovative assay protocols hold great potential for the development of robust, low-cost, and fast-responding sensors that are applicable in biofluids (urine, blood, and saliva). Particularly, the development of sensors for metabolites, neurotransmitters, drugs, and inorganic ions is highly desirable due to a lack of suitable biosensors. In addition, the monitoring and analysis of metabolic and signaling networks in cells and organisms by optical probes and chemosensors is becoming increasingly important in molecular biology and medicine. Thus, new perspectives for personalized diagnostics, theranostics, and biochemical/medical research will be unlocked when standing limitations of artificial binders and receptors are overcome. In this review, we survey synthetic sensing systems that have promising (future) application potential for the detection of small molecules, cations, and anions in aqueous media and biofluids. Special attention was given to sensing systems that provide a readily measurable optical signal through dynamic covalent chemistry, supramolecular host-guest interactions, or nanoparticles featuring plasmonic effects. This review shall also enable the reader to evaluate the current performance of molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors in terms of sensitivity and selectivity with respect to practical requirement, and thereby inspiring new ideas for the development of further advanced systems.

Abstract
![]()
The small molecule
8-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2,4,5-tetrahydrocyclopenta[de]quinoline-3-carboxylic
acid (2b) behaves as a reactive non-fluorescent Michael
acceptor, which after reaction with thiols becomes fluorescent, and
an efficient Eu3+ antenna, after self-assembling with this
cation in water. This behavior makes 2b a highly selective
GSH biosensor, which has demonstrated high potential for studies in
murine and human cells of the immune system (CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and B cells) using flow cytometry. GSH can be monitored
by the fluorescence of the product of addition to 2b (445
nm) or by the luminescence of Eu3+ (592 nm). 2b was able to capture baseline differences in GSH intracellular levels
among murine and human CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and B
cells. We also successfully used 2b to monitor intracellular
changes in GSH associated with the metabolic variations governing
the induction of CD4+ naïve T cells into regulatory
T cells (TREG).

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is an environmental pollutant in the atmosphere which is easily absorbed by the human body. After being inhaled in the body, SO2 is quickly converted into bisulfite (HSO3-), forming a balance in which SO2 and HSO3- coexist in the body status. A large number of epidemiological studies have shown that abnormal levels of sulfite and bisulfite are related to the appearance of numerous diseases such as atherosclerosis, essential hypertension, and lung tissue fibrosis. Therefore, it is essential to develop an effective method to detect bisulfite. In this work, starting from 4-bromonaphthalene-1-carbonitrile, three uncomplicated but efficient HSO3- sensitive ratiometric fluorescent probes HNIC, CIVP and HVIC were designed and synthesized through ICT mechanism and the Michael-type addition reaction. The probes can image HSO3- in living cells. The probes not only have good fluorescence stability and strong anti-interference ability, but also display mitochondrial targeting ability.

Abstract
Although nanozyme-based colorimetric assays have been broadly used for biosensing, some limitations such as low catalytic activity of nanozyme, poor sensitivity to analytes and lack of understanding the structure-activity relationship remain unsolved. In this work, we developed an ultrasensitive colorimetric method for biothiols detection based on density functional theory-assisted design of janus Pd-Fe3O4 nanozyme. The Pd-Fe3O4 dumbbell-like nanoparticles (DBNPs) prepared by seed-mediated approach shows a uniform heterodimeric nanostructure. Ultrasensitive biothiols detection is achieved from two aspects. On one hand, due to the synergistic effect between Pd and Fe3O4 in the dumbbell structure, Pd-Fe3O4 DBNPs show enhanced peroxidase-mimic activity compared to the individual components. On the other hand, when the target biothiols molecule is present, its inhibition effect on the janus Pd-Fe3O4 nanozyme is also significantly enhanced. The above results are confirmed both in experiment and theoretical calculation. Based on the rational design, a simple, highly selective and urtrasensitive colorimetric and quantitative assay for biothiols is developed. The limit of detection (LOD) can reach as low as 3.1 nM in aqueous solution. This assay is also successfully applied to the detection of biothiols in real urine samples. Moreover, the Pd-Fe3O4 nanozyme is used to discriminate biothiols levels in normal and cancer cells with high sensitivity at the cell density of 15,000/mL, which demonstrates its great potential in biological and clinical analysis. This work not only shows the great promise of janus bimetallic nanozymes' excellent functionalities but also provides rational guidelines to design high-performance nanozymes for biosensing and biomedical applications.

Abstract
GSH, Cys, Hcy, and H2S are important biothiols and play important roles in the living systems. Quantitative and simultaneous determination of these biothiols under physiological conditions is still a challenge. Herein, we developed an effective 19F-reactive tag that readily interacts with these four biothiols for the generation of stable thioether products that have distinguishable 19F-chemical shifts. These thioester compounds encode the characteristic fingerprint profiles of each biothiols, allowing one to simultaneously quantify and determine these biothiols by 1D 19F NMR spectroscopy. The intra-/extracellular GSH in live cells was assessed by the established strategy, and remarkable variations in the GSH stability were determined between the normal mammalian cells and cancer cells. It is notable that GSH hydrolyzes efficiently in the out-membrane of the cancer cells and the lysates. In contrast, GSH remains stable in the tested normal cells.

Abstract
We reported the specific fluorescent probe (MC-BOD-XDS) with two-steps reaction based on monomercapto-coumarin-BODIPY for selective detection of cysteine,high activty mercapto-coumarin as the multiple reaction group instead of a group internal standard fluorophore. The reaction mechanism of MC-BOD-XDS for detecting cysteine was different from the reported probes about the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction (SNAr) of chlorinated BODIPY. The fluorescent color of MC-BOD-XDS changed from yellow to red, and then to orange. The linear calibration diagram showed that it can potentially be used for quantitatively detection of Cys. Its potential applications were demonstrated by employing it for detection of Cys in artificial urine and in fluorescent imaging in HeLa cells.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides structural and functional information, but it did not probe chemistry. Chemical information could help improve specificity of detection. Herein, we introduce a general method based on a modular design to construct a molecular building block Xe probe to help image intracellular biothiols (glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy)), the abnormal content of which is related to various diseases. This molecular building block possesses a high signal-to-noise ratio and no background signal effects. Its detection threshold was 100 pM, which enabled detection of intracellular biothiols in live cells. The construction strategy can be easily extended to the detection of any other biomolecule or biomarker. This modular design strategy promotes efficiency of development of low-cost multifunctional probes that can be combined with other readout parameters, such as optical readouts, to complement 129Xe MRI to usher in new capabilities for molecular imaging.

Abstract
Biological thiols are crucial small molecule amino acids widely existing in cells, which play indispensable roles in maintaining redox homeostasis of living systems. Owing to their abnormal levels have close relation with many diseases, thus, developing more convenient, rapid and practical in-vivo detection tools is imminent. Herein, a reversible coumarin-based probe (HNA) was successfully constructed through a simple two-step synthesis. HNA can detect Cys/Hcy with high response speed and desirable selectivity based on Michael addition recognition mechanism. Free HNA has an orange emission at 580 nm, but after addition of Cys/Hcy, the conjugated structure of probe HNA was destroyed by the attack of sulfhydryl, resulting in a new green emission at 507 nm. Further, HNA has been applied to monitor Cys/Hcy in HeLa cells and zebrafish. Notably, HNA has also been successfully applied for real-time tracing Cys levels changes in living cells and zebrafish during the imbalance in redox status caused by copper (II). This provides a new strategy for studying the process of oxidative stress in cells.

Abstract
A new family of π-extended BODIPY derivatives were obtained through the condensation of aldehyde and pyrrole in aqueous solution in the presence of HCl. The new rigid π-framework extends beyond the dipyrromethene unit, which is significantly different from classical BODIPYs in the electronic configuration. Both π-extended BODIPYs displayed intense absorption and moderate emission with maxima around 565 and 620 nm, respectively, and showed interesting reactivity toward various nucleophiles. Moreover, these π-extended BODIPYs were developed as fluorescent probes for rapid and selective detection of GSH and were successfully applied for live-cell imaging.

Abstract
Landomycins are angucyclines with promising antineoplastic activity produced by Streptomyces bacteria. The aglycone landomycinone is the distinctive core, while the oligosaccharide chain differs within derivatives. Herein, we report that landomycins spontaneously form Michael adducts with biothiols, including reduced cysteine and glutathione, both cell-free or intracellularly involving the benz[a]anthraquinone moiety of landomycinone. While landomycins generally do not display emissive properties, the respective Michael adducts exerted intense blue fluorescence in a glycosidic chain-dependent manner. This allowed label-free tracking of the short-lived nature of the mono-SH-adduct followed by oxygen-dependent evolution with addition of another SH-group. Accordingly, hypoxia distinctly stabilized the fluorescent mono-adduct. While extracellular adduct formation completely blocked the cytotoxic activity of landomycins, intracellularly it led to massively decreased reduced glutathione levels. Accordingly, landomycin E strongly synergized with glutathione-depleting agents like menadione but exerted reduced activity under hypoxia. Summarizing, landomycins represent natural glutathione-depleting agents and fluorescence probes for intracellular anthraquinone-based angucycline metabolism.

Abstract
Sulfur is an element that is indispensable throughout the growth of plants. In plant cells, reactive sulfur species (RSS) play a vital role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and signal transduction. There is demand accordingly for a simple, highly selective, and sensitive method of RSS detection and imaging for monitoring dynamic changes and clarifying the biological functions of RSS in plant systems. Fluorescent analysis based on organic small-molecule fluorescent probes is an effective and specific approach to tracking plant RSS characteristics. This perspective summarizes the recent progress regarding organic small-molecule fluorescent probes for RSS monitoring, including small-molecule biological thiols, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfane sulfurs, in plants; it also discusses their response mechanism toward RSS and their imaging applications in plants across the agricultural chemistry field.

Abstract
The microenvironment (local environment), including viscosity, temperature, polarity, hypoxia, and acidic-basic status (pH), plays indispensable roles in cellular processes. Significantly, organelles require an appropriate microenvironment to perform their specific physiological functions, and disruption of the microenvironmental homeostasis could lead to malfunctions of organelles, resulting in disorder and disease development. Consequently, monitoring the microenvironment within specific organelles is vital to understand organelle-related physiopathology. Over the past few years, many fluorescent probes have been developed to help reveal variations in the microenvironment within specific cellular regions. Given that a comprehensive understanding of the microenvironment in a particular cellular region is of great significance for further exploration of life events, a thorough summary of this topic is urgently required. However, there has not been a comprehensive and critical review published recently on small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors for the cellular microenvironment. With this review, we summarize the recent progress since 2015 towards small-molecule based fluorescent probes for imaging the microenvironment within specific cellular regions, including the mitochondria, lysosomes, lipid drops, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi, nucleus, cytoplasmic matrix and cell membrane. Further classifications at the suborganelle level, according to detection of microenvironmental factors by probes, including polarity, viscosity, temperature, pH and hypoxia, are presented. Notably, in each category, design principles, chemical synthesis, recognition mechanism, fluorescent signals, and bio-imaging applications are summarized and compared. In addition, the limitations of the current microenvironment-sensitive probes are analyzed and the prospects for future developments are outlined. In a nutshell, this review comprehensively summarizes and highlights recent progress towards small molecule based fluorescent probes for sensing and imaging the microenvironment within specific cellular regions since 2015. We anticipate that this summary will facilitate a deeper understanding of the topic and encourage research directed towards the development of probes for the detection of cellular microenvironments.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide and biothiol molecules such as Cys and GSH acted important roles in many physiological processes. To simultaneously detect and distinguish them was quite necessary by a suitable fluorescent probe. A novel chemosensor 4-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-methoxyphenoxy)-7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole (BMNO) was designed to detect H2S/Cys/GSH using the combination of nitrobenzofurazan (NBD) and benzothiazole fluorophores linked by a facile ether bond. The probe BMNO was developed for simultaneous identification of H2S, Cys and GSH. Noticeably, the color changes (from colorless to light purple, light orange and light yellow) of probe BMNO solutions for sensing H2S, Cys and GSH could be observed by naked eyes, respectively. The probe BMNO exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for H2S, Cys and GSH showing distinct optical signal with detection limit as low as 0.15 μM, 0.03 μM and 0.14 μM, respectively. The sensing mechanism was clarified by spectrum analysis and some controlled experiments. In addition, these outstanding properties of probe BMNO enabled its practical applications in detection H2S in beer, and in cell imaging for Cys and GSH as well.

Abstract
The development of novel fluorescent dyes for bio-thiol is of great importance in biological, clinical and pharmaceutical sciences. Given the importance of bio-thiol anticipating in numerous physiological processes, there is a great need to construct fluorescent biosensors with high quality to detect them. Fluorophores, especially those used in bio-system, usually require high-quality properties such as high brightness, good water solubility, bio-compatible and photostability. Herein, we reported a novel fluorescent probe based on piperazine-coumarin scaffold with enhanced brightness and solubility. To further demonstrate the potential clinical applications, we performed living cell fluorescence image and human esophageal carcinoma diagnosis. The result indicated that we were able to distinguish pathological tissue from normal tissue by applying this probe. Thus, we hope this design will be helpful to develop high-quality fluorophores for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
In an attempt to explore the significance of inorganic mimetic enzymes as sensors, this study introduces a naked-eye analytical sensing platform for the detection of L-cysteine (cys), mercury ions (Hg2+) based on (turn off/turn-on) catalytic activity of zinc and cobalt grafted mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). To this end, Zn-MSN and Co/Zn-MSN catalysts were synthesized and characterized using XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption methods. Then, using the intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of as-synthesized samples, the oxidation reactions of the chromogenic substrate (2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS)) was designed using H2O2, which produced green colored cation radical of ABTS. Considering the high peroxidase-like activity of Co/Zn-MSN in comparison to Zn-MSN, it was employed to detect cys and then Hg2+. The results indicated that the strong interaction between cys and Co/Zn-MSN was proved by a limit of detection (LOD) down to 0.24 nM and the linear relationship from 0.8-50 nM (turn off). Given the fact that Hg2+ has a high-affinity tendency to combine with cys, we were suggested a novel colorimetric path for sensing of Hg2+ in the presence of cys (turn on). Based on this method, LOD was found 0.17 nM with the linear range of 0.57-50 nM. Taken together, results showed that the as-prepared catalysts are superior to other nanoparticles as a sensor to measure the target molecules in biological monitoring and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) play pivotal roles in various pathological and physiological processes. There exists an intricate relevance in generation and metabolism among these substances. Although they are nucleophilic, there are still some differences in their reactivity. There are many methods to detect them by using reactive fluorescent probes, but the systematic study of their reactivity is still lacking. In our study, we designed a multiple reaction site fluorescent probe based on benzene conjugated benzopyrylium and NBD. The study revealed that besides both biothiols and hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide (SO2) can cleave the ether bond. There are two reaction forms for GSH with low reactivity: cutting the ether bond and adding the conjugated double bond of benzopyrylium. Nevertheless, Cys/Hcy with higher activity can further rearrange with NBD after cutting the ether bond. In addition, SO2 can not only cleave the ether bond, but also continue to add the conjugated double bond of benzopyrylium. The above processes lead to multicolor emission of the probe, thus realizing the characteristic analysis of different sulfides. Thus the probe can be used for the detection of sulfide in mitochondria, and further for the imaging of sulfide in cells and zebrafish. This effective analysis method will provide a broad application prospect for practical applications.
