Abstract
Optical bioimaging is an ever-growing field that benefits both from the fast progress of optical instrumentation and modalities, and from the development of light-emitting probes. The efficacy of molecular fluorescent dyes is crucial, yet hindered by limited brightness and hydrophilicity. Addressing these challenges, self-stabilized fluorogenic organic nanoparticles only made of pure dyes (dFONs) are introduced in this work. Comprising thiol-sensitive fluorogenic chromophores, these dFONs exhibit enhanced brightness exclusively in the presence of biological thiols, notably glutathione, overcoming the need for water-solubilizing moieties. Importantly, these nanoparticles demonstrate large fluorescence and one- and two-photon brightness, enabling sensitive bioimaging of intracellular thiols at micromolar concentrations. Notably, only the pristine fluorogenic nanoparticles can penetrate the cells and does not require to wash the cells before imaging, emphasizing their unique role as dye carriers, fluorogenic probes and ease of use. This work highlights the transformative potential of dFONs in advancing optical bioimaging, paving the way for the use of dFONs not just as tracers, but also now as biosensors and ultimately in the future as biomarkers.

Abstract
Coumarins are secondary metabolites made up of benzene and α-pyrone rings fused together that can potentially treat various ailments, including cancer, metabolic, and degenerative disorders. Coumarins are a diverse category of both naturally occurring as well as synthesized compounds with numerous biological and therapeutic properties. Coumarins as fluorophores play a key role in fluorescent labeling of biomolecules, metal ion detection, microenvironment polarity detection, and pH detection. This review provides a detailed insight into the characteristics of coumarins as well as their biosynthesis in plants and metabolic pathways. Various synthetic strategies for coumarin core involving both conventional and green methods have been discussed comparing advantages and disadvantages of each method. Conventional methods discussed are Pechmann, Knoevenagel, Perkin, Wittig, Kostanecki, Buchwald-Hartwig, and metal-induced coupling reactions such as Heck and Suzuki, as well as green approaches involving microwave or ultrasound energy. Various pharmacological applications of coumarin derivatives are discussed in detail. The structural features and conditions responsible for influencing the fluorescence of coumarin core are also elaborated.

Abstract
Many successful stories in enzyme engineering are based on the creation of randomized diversity in large mutant libraries, containing millions to billions of enzyme variants. Methods that enabled their evaluation with high throughput are dominated by spectroscopic techniques due to their high speed and sensitivity. A large proportion of studies relies on fluorogenic substrates that mimic the chemical properties of the target or coupled enzymatic assays with an optical read-out that assesses the desired catalytic efficiency indirectly. The most reliable hits, however, are achieved by screening for conversions of the starting material to the desired product. For this purpose, functional group assays offer a general approach to achieve a fast, optical read-out. They use the chemoselectivity, differences in electronic and steric properties of various functional groups, to reduce the number of false-positive results and the analytical noise stemming from enzymatic background activities. This review summarizes the developments and use of functional group probes for chemoselective derivatizations, with a clear focus on screening for enzymatic activity in protein engineering.

Abstract
Selective reaction of diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) and 1,2-aminothiol in water at pH 7.4 produces an amide conjugate with the release of thiol. In addition, structural modifications of DPCP enable the coupling rate to be tuned with a reaction constant of +3.68. Based on this chemistry, triple labelling was demonstrated by treating an N-terminal cysteine peptide with DPCP-Cl followed by thiol-maleimide and tyrosine-diazonium couplings in one pot. We anticipate that the DPCP motif will be a useful toolkit for multiple bioconjugation.

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
Maleimides are typically applicable for coupling with reactive thiol moieties of antibodies in antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) via the thiol-Michael click chemistry. Even so, the thiosuccinimide group produced in ADCs is unstable under physiological conditions, which is a unresolved issue in the ADC industry that can cause serious off-target toxicity. Committed to solving the stability defects of traditional thiosuccinimide-containing ADCs, we explored a series of linkers based on the ring-opening hydrolysates of thiosuccinimide. Meanwhile, a type of linkers based on maleamic methyl ester were used to conjugate the popular monomethyl auristatin E to an anti-HER2 antibody to generate the target ADCs, which enhances the stability and do not need to change the structure of the ideal stable metabolite of traditional ADCs. In vivo studies demonstrate that our preferred ADC mil40-12b not only has better efficacy than traditional ADCs but also exhibits better safety parameters in mice. For example, complete tumor regression can still be achieved even when the dose is halved (2.5 mg/kg), and the maximum tolerable dose is increased by 40 mg/kg. This strategy is expected to provide an applicable tool for the construction of thiol-linked ADCs with improved therapeutic index.

Abstract
Deltamethrin pesticides can cause inflammation, nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity as well as affect the activity of antioxidant enzymes in tissues. As a result of this concern, there is a rising focus on the development of fast and reliable pesticide residue testing to minimise potential risks to humans. The goal of this study is to use Au-Ag colloid nanoparticles as liquid surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to improve the Raman signal in the detection of deltamethrin pesticide in a brewed tea. The liquid SERS system is fascinating to study due to its ease of use and its unlikeliness to cause several phenomena, such as photo-bleaching, combustion, sublimation and even photo-catalysis, which can interfere with the Raman signal, as shown in the SERS substrate. Our liquid SERS system is simpler than previous liquid SERS systems that have been reported. We performed the detection of pesticide analyte directly on brewed tea, without diluting it with ethanol or centrifuging it. Femtosecond laser-induced photo-reduction was employed to synthesise the liquid SERS of Au, Au-Ag, and Ag colloidal nanoparticles. The SERS was utilised to detect deltamethrin pesticide in brewed tea. The result showed that liquid SERS-based Ag NPs significantly enhance the Raman signal of pesticides compared with liquid SERS-based Au NPs and Au-Ag Nanoalloys. The maximum residue limits (MRLs) in tea in Indonesia are set at 10 ppm. Therefore, this method was also utilised to detect and improve, to 0.01 ppm, the deltamethrin pesticide Limit of Detection (LOD).

Abstract
Due to the fact that surfactant molecules are known to alter the structure (and consequently the function) of a protein, protein–surfactant interactions are very important in the biological, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Although there are numerous studies on the interactions of albumins with surfactants, the investigations are often performed at fixed environmental conditions and limited to separate surface-active agents and consequently do not present an appropriate comparison between their different types and structures. In the present paper, the interactions between selected cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants, namely hexadecylpyridinium chloride (CPC), hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), polyethylene glycol sorbitan monolaurate, monopalmitate, and monooleate (TWEEN 20, TWEEN 40, and TWEEN 80, respectively) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied qualitatively and quantitatively in an aqueous solution (10 mM cacodylate buffer; pH 5.0 and 7.0) by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy supported by UV spectrophotometry and CD spectroscopy. Since in the case of all studied systems, the fluorescence intensity of BSA decreased regularly and significantly under the action of the surfactants added, the fluorescence quenching mechanism was analyzed thoroughly with the use of the Stern–Volmer equation (and its modification) and attributed to the formation of BSA–surfactant complexes. The binding efficiency and mode of interactions were evaluated among others by the determination, comparison, and discussion of the values of binding (association) constants of the newly formed complexes and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH, ΔS). Furthermore, the influence of the structure of the chosen surfactants (charge of hydrophilic head and length of hydrophobic chain) as well as different environmental conditions (pH, temperature) on the binding mode and the strength of the interaction has been investigated and elucidated.

Abstract
Thiols are important units in amino acids such as cysteine and peptides like glutathione. Development of chemical sensors capable of precise detection of thiols is important in cancer diagnosis and therapy. We have developed novel two-photon fluorescent turn-on probes for selective detection of thiols. The probes displayed excellent sensitivity and low detection limits. The dual-purpose probes have been demonstrated to be suitable for simultaneous imaging and proteome profiling in live cells and tumor tissues. The unique turn-on design endows the probes with excellent selectivity toward thiols in vitro and in situ, and can be further developed to support a thiol-quantification assay.

Lai Y, Li M, Liao X, Zou L. Smartphone-Assisted Colorimetric Detection of Glutathione and Glutathione Reductase Activity in Human Serum and Mouse Liver Using Hemin/G-Quadruplex DNAzyme. Molecules 2021; 26:5016. [PMID: 34443603 PMCID: PMC8398021 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26165016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 08/12/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Abnormal levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutathione reductase (GR) are usually related to a variety of diseases, so it is of great significance to determine the GSH concentration and GR activity. We herein develop a smartphone-assisted colorimetric biosensor for the detection of GSH and GR activity in human serum and mouse liver using hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme. Firstly, an obvious color change from colorless to green can be observed, owing to the high peroxidase-like activity of hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme toward 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiozoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). With the addition of GSH or GR, the H2O2-mediated oxidation of ABTS catalyzed by hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme is significantly inhibited, resulting in remarkable color fading. Therefore, the detection of GSH and GR activity can be achieved by observing the color transition or measuring the absorbance at 420 nm. The detection limit was estimated to be as low as 0.1 μM and 10 μU/mL for GSH and GR, respectively. More interestingly, the RGB values of the sensing system can be identified by the smartphone application (APP, color collect), which makes it an ideal format for on-site determination and point-of-care testing (POCT). In addition, the proposed method shows excellent selectivity and acceptable applicability for the determination of GSH concentration and GR activity in human serum samples and mouse liver tissues, which might hold great application potential in clinical diagnosis and drug screening.

Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) imaging of the finite subcellular structures and subtle bioactivities inside organelles delivers abundant cellular information with high fidelity to unravel the intricate biological processes. An ideal fluorescent probe with precise control of fluorescence is critical in SRM technique like stimulated emission depletion (STED). Si-rhodamine was decorated with both targeting group and H+ -receptor, affording the dually fluorogenic Si-rhodamine in which the NIR fluorescence was efficiently controlled by the coalescent of spirolactone-zwitterion equilibrium and PeT mechanism. The dually fluorogenic characters of the probe offer a perfect mutual enhancement in sensitivity, specificity and spatial resolution. Strong fluorescence only released in the existence of targeting protein at acidic lysosomal pH, ensured precisely tracking the dynamic of lysosomal structure and pH in living cells by STED.

Abstract
N-terminal acetylation catalyzed by N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs) has various biological functions in protein regulation. N-terminal acetyltransferase D (NatD) is one of the most specific NAT with only histone H4 and H2A proteins as the known substrates. Dysregulation of NatD has been implicated in colorectal and lung cancer progression, implying its therapeutic potential in cancers. However, there is no reported inhibitor for NatD yet. To facilitate the discovery of small-molecule NatD inhibitors, we report the development of a fluorescence-based acetyltransferase assay in 384-well high-throughput screening (HTS) format through monitoring the formation of coenzyme A. The fluorescent signal is generated from the adduct in the reaction between coenzyme A and fluorescent probe ThioGlo4. The assay exhibited a Z'-factor of 0.77 and a coefficient of variation of 6%, indicating it is a robust assay for HTS. A pilot screen of 1280 pharmacologically active compounds and subsequent validation identified two hits, confirming the application of this fluorescence assay in HTS.

Abstract
In order to evaluate 7-sulfonamide benzoxadiazole (SBD) derivatives for the development of fluorescent probes, herein we investigated the thiolysis reactivity and selectivity of a series of SBD compounds with different atoms (N/O/S/Se) at the 4-position. Both SBD-amine and SBD-ether are stable toward biothiols in buffer (pH 7.4), while SBD-selenoether can react efficiently with biothiols GSH/Hcy, Cys, and H2S to produce SBD-SG/S-Hcy, SBD-NH-Cys, and SBD-SH, respectively, with three different sets of spectral signals. Therefore, the SBD-selenoether compounds should be useful platforms for the differentiation of these biothiols. Though SBD-alkylthioether shows much lower reactivity than SBD-selenoether, SBD-arylthioether is a tunable motif and structural modifications at the aryl moiety enable the rate of thiol-mediated thiolysis to be modified. To this end, an ER-targeted GSH-selective fluorescent probe 7 was rationally designed via thiolysis of SBD-arylthioether. Compared with control probe SBD-Cl, probe 7 exhibits improved GSH selectivity and better biocompatibility. In total, this study highlights that the modification at the 4-position of SBD is an efficient strategy for the development of new fluorescent probes with tunable reactivity and selectivity.

Abstract
In this work, a facile ratiometric fluorescence sensor for GSH measurement was designed based on MnO2 nanosheet (NS), carbon dots (CDs), as well as a simple substrate o-phenylenediamine (OPD). Herein, MnO2 NS played triple essential roles in the sensing system. First, it could be reduced by GSH through a special reaction, and therefore served as GSH recognizer. Second, it played as a fluorescence nanoquencher to strongly quench the fluorescence of CDs. Third, it could directly oxidize OPD to yield a luminescent product 2, 3-diaminophenazine (DAP) via the intrinsic oxidase-like activity. It revealed that MnO2 NS could be reduced to Mn2+ in the presence of GSH. Thus its oxidase-like activity and fluorescence quenching abilities were inhibited, which then restricted the generation of DAP and recovered the fluorescence of CDs. Based on this phenomenon, a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensor for GSH determination was fabricated by measuring the ratio of fluorescent intensity of DAP to that of CDs. Besides, the constructed ratiometric fluorescent sensor, which could be facilely operated with single-wavelength excitation, exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity with a wider linear range and a lower detection limit.

Abstract
Quinoline appended hemicyanine 6MIM with strong ICT character was successfully synthesized through simple condensation reaction of 6-methoxy-2-chloro-3-formyl quinoline with 2-benzothiazolinium iodide. The photophysical characteristics of synthesized probe revealed that it would selectively detect glutathione (GSH) when it compared with different amino acids including biothiols and the detection limit is found to be 100 nM. The turn off sensor is due to thiol-halogen SNAr nucleophilic substitution between 6MIM and thiol group in glutathione. More importantly, the biosensor 6MIM was effectively applied in the fluorescence bioimaging of GSH in living cells with low cell toxicity. The colorimetric detectable color change of 6MIM-GSH has been effectively integrated with smartphone assisted RGB color value application with lowest detection value of 120 nM.

Abstract
In eukaryotes, conserved mechanisms ensure that cell growth is coordinated with nutrient availability. Overactive growth during nutrient limitation ("nutrient-growth dysregulation") can lead to rapid cell death. Here, we demonstrate that cells can adapt to nutrient-growth dysregulation by evolving major metabolic defects. Specifically, when yeast lysine-auxotrophic mutant lys- encountered lysine limitation, an evolutionarily novel stress, cells suffered nutrient-growth dysregulation. A subpopulation repeatedly evolved to lose the ability to synthesize organosulfurs (lys-orgS-). Organosulfurs, mainly reduced glutathione (GSH) and GSH conjugates, were released by lys- cells during lysine limitation when growth was dysregulated, but not during glucose limitation when growth was regulated. Limiting organosulfurs conferred a frequency-dependent fitness advantage to lys-orgS- by eliciting a proper slow growth program, including autophagy. Thus, nutrient-growth dysregulation is associated with rapid organosulfur release, which enables the selection of organosulfur auxotrophy to better tune cell growth to the metabolic environment. We speculate that evolutionarily novel stresses can trigger atypical release of certain metabolites, setting the stage for the evolution of new ecological interactions.

Abstract
Methyltransferases (MTases) play diverse roles in cellular processes. Aberrant methylation levels have been implicated in many diseases, indicating the need for the identification and development of small molecule inhibitors for each MTase. Specific inhibitors can serve as probes to investigate the function and validate therapeutic potential for the respective MTase. High-throughput screening (HTS) is a powerful method to identify initial hits for further optimization. Here, we report the development of a fluorescence-based MTase assay and compare this format with the recently developed MTase-Glo luminescence assay for application in HTS. Using protein N-terminal methyltransferase 1 (NTMT1) as a model system, we miniaturized to 1536-well quantitative HTS format. Through a pilot screen of 1428 pharmacologically active compounds and subsequent validation, we discovered that MTase-Glo produced lower false positive rates than the fluorescence-based MTase assay. Nevertheless, both assays displayed robust performance along with low reagent requirements and can potentially be employed as general HTS formats for the discovery of inhibitors for any MTase.

Abstract
To advance the scientific understanding of bacteria-driven mercury (Hg) transformation processes in natural environments, thermodynamics and kinetics of divalent mercury Hg(II) chemical speciation need to be understood. Based on Hg LIII-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopic information, combined with competitive ligand exchange (CLE) experiments, we determined Hg(II) structures and thermodynamic constants for Hg(II) complexes formed with thiol functional groups in bacterial cell membranes of two extensively studied Hg(II) methylating bacteria: Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ND132. The Hg EXAFS data suggest that 5% of the total number of membranethiol functionalities (Mem-RStot = 380 ± 50 μmol g-1 C) are situated closely enough to be involved in a 2-coordinated Hg(Mem-RS)2 structure in Geobacter. The remaining 95% of Mem-RSH is involved in mixed-ligation Hg(II)-complexes, combining either with low molecular mass (LMM) thiols like Cys, Hg(Cys)(Mem-RS), or with neighboring O/N membrane functionalities, Hg(Mem-RSRO). We report log K values for the formation of the structures Hg(Mem-RS)2, Hg(Cys)(Mem-RS), and Hg(Mem-RSRO) to be 39.1 ± 0.2, 38.1 ± 0.1, and 25.6 ± 0.1, respectively, for Geobacter and 39.2 ± 0.2, 38.2 ± 0.1, and 25.7 ± 0.1, respectively, for ND132. Combined with results obtained from previous studies using the same methodology to determine chemical speciation of Hg(II) in the presence of natural organic matter (NOM; Suwannee River DOM) and 15 LMM thiols, an internally consistent thermodynamic data set is created, which we recommend to be used in studies of Hg transformation processes in bacterium-NOM-LMM thiol systems.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is one of reactive oxygen species, and plays a vital role in numeorus physiological and pathological processes. Given that the ONOO- level is closely related with various serious diseases, the in situ and real time detection of endogenous ONOO- is highly important for the in-depth study of its roles in living systems. Herein, we present a new fluorescent probe (RHPN) for the real-time detection of intracellular ONOO-. The probe RHPN consists of a rhodamine analogue and an arylhydrazide group as a response site for ONOO-. In response to ONOO-, the probe RHPN converts to an open-ring form and generates strong fluorescence. Moreover, the probe RHPN was successfully used for the imaging of the endogenous and exogenous ONOO- level changes in living cells.

Abstract
Enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of echothiophate, a P–S bonded organophosphorus (OP) model, was spectrofluorimetrically monitored, using Calbiochem Probe IV as the thiol reagent. OP hydrolases were: the G117H mutant of human butyrylcholinesterase capable of hydrolyzing OPs, and a multiple mutant of Brevundimonas diminuta phosphotriesterase, GG1, designed to hydrolyze a large spectrum of OPs at high rate, including V agents. Molecular modeling of interaction between Probe IV and OP hydrolases (G117H butyrylcholinesterase, GG1, wild types of Brevundimonas diminuta and Sulfolobus solfataricus phosphotriesterases, and human paraoxonase-1) was performed. The high sensitivity of the method allowed steady-state kinetic analysis of echothiophate hydrolysis by highly purified G117H butyrylcholinesterase concentration as low as 0.85 nM. Hydrolysis was michaelian with Km = 0.20 ± 0.03 mM and kcat = 5.4 ± 1.6 min−1. The GG1 phosphotriesterase hydrolyzed echothiophate with a high efficiency (Km = 2.6 ± 0.2 mM; kcat = 53400 min−1). With a kcat/Km = (2.6 ± 1.6) × 107 M−1min−1, GG1 fulfills the required condition of potential catalytic bioscavengers. quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) and molecular docking indicate that Probe IV does not interact significantly with the selected phosphotriesterases. Moreover, results on G117H mutant show that Probe IV does not inhibit butyrylcholinesterase. Therefore, Probe IV can be recommended for monitoring hydrolysis of P–S bonded OPs by thiol-free OP hydrolases.

Abstract
G-triplexes have been reported recently with the similar function to G-quadruplex that can combine with thioflavin T (ThT) and emit strong fluorescence but easier to be controlled and excited. In this work, we report an Hg2+-mediated stabilization of G-triplex based functional molecular beacon (G3TMB) sensing system for the label-free detection of Hg2+, reduced glutathione (GSH), and glutathione reductase (GR) activity. In the presence of Hg2+, the extended G-triplex sequence containing the "T" bases can form a stable hairpin structure due to the strong interactions of "T-Hg2+-T", resulting in the locking of G-tracts in the stem of the G3TMB effectively. However, the hairpin structure of the G3TMB can be opened by the introduction of GSH through the stronger "GSH-Hg2+" interaction. Therefore, by employing the fact that GR can catalyze the reduction of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) into GSH, this concept can be applied to fluorescence "off-on" detection of GR activity, with a linear range of 0.02-30 mU/mL and detection limit of 0.01 mU/mL. This work may expand a new perspective of G-triplex based functional molecular beacon as the label-free fluorescent probes in the detection of small biomolecule and enzyme activity.

Abstract
Steroid sulfatase (STS) is a sulfatase enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of sulfated steroid precursors to free steroid. The inhibition of STS could abate estrogenic steroids that stimulate the proliferation and development of breast cancer, and therefore STS is a potential target for adjuvant endocrine therapy. In this study, a series of 3-benzylaminocoumarin-7-O-sulfamate derivatives targeting STS were designed and synthesized. Structure-relationship activities (SAR) analysis revealed that attachment of a benzylamino group at the 3-position of coumarin improved inhibitory activity. Compound 3j was found to have the highest inhibition activity against human placenta isolated STS (IC50 0.13 μM) and MCF-7 cell lines (IC50 1.35 µM). Kinetic studies found compound 3j to be an irreversible inhibitor of STS, with KI and kinact value of 86.9 nM and 158.7 min-1, respectively.

Abstract
In recent years, the research on fluorescent probes has developed rapidly. Coumarin fluorescent probes have also been one of the hot topics in recent years. For the synthesis and application of coumarin fluorescent probes, great progress has been made. Coumarin fluorescent probes have become more and more widely used in biochemistry, environmental protection, and disease prevention, and have broad prospects. This review introduces the three main light emitting mechanisms (PET, ICT, FRET) of fluorescent probes, and enumerates some probes based on this light emitting mechanism. In terms of the synthesis of coumarin fluorescent probes, the existing substituents on the core of coumarin compounds were modified. Based on the positions of the modified substituents, some of the fluorescent probes reported in the past ten years are listed. Most of the fluorescent probes are formed by modifying the 3 and 7 position substituents on the mother nucleus, and the 4 and 8 position substituents are relatively less modified. In terms of probe applications, the detection and application of coumarin fluorescent probes for Cu2+, Hg2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, pH, environmental polarity, and active oxygen and sulfide in the past ten years are mainly introduced. In recent years, the research on fluorescent probes has developed rapidly.![]()

Abstract
Fluorophores that are sensitive to their environment are useful tools for sensing chemical changes and probing biological systems. Here, we extend responsive fluorophores to the fluorous phase with the synthesis of a reduction-sensitive fluorous-soluble fluorogenic coumarin. We demonstrate that this fluorophore responds to various reducing agents, most notably glutathione, a key biological reductant. The fluorous solubility of this probe allows for its encapsulation into two different fluorous nanomaterials: perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions and fluorous core-shell micelles. The fluorogenic coumarin allows us to study how efficiently these vehicles protect the contents of their interior from the external environment. In the presence of glutathione, we observe different degrees of release for micelles and emulsions. This understanding will help guide future applications of fluorous nanomaterials as drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
A coumarin-based novel ‘AND’ logic fluorescent probe ROS-AHC has been developed for the simultaneous detection of ONOO− and biological thiols. ROS-AHC was shown to exhibit only a very small fluorescence response upon addition of a single GSH or ONOO− analyte. Exposure to both analytes, however, resulted in a significant fluorescence enhancement. A coumarin-based novel ‘AND’ logic fluorescent probe ROS-AHC has been developed for the simultaneous detection of ONOO− and biological thiols.![]()

Nagy ZA, Szakács D, Boros E, Héja D, Vígh E, Sándor N, Józsi M, Oroszlán G, Dobó J, Gál P, Pál G. Ecotin, a microbial inhibitor of serine proteases, blocks multiple complement dependent and independent microbicidal activities of human serum. PLoS Pathog 2019; 15:e1008232. [PMID: 31860690 PMCID: PMC6944378 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1008232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2019] [Revised: 01/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Ecotin is a serine protease inhibitor produced by hundreds of microbial species, including pathogens. Here we show, that ecotin orthologs from Escherichia coli, Yersinia pestis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Leishmania major are potent inhibitors of MASP-1 and MASP-2, the two key activator proteases of the complement lectin pathway. Factor D is the key activator protease of another complement activation route, the alternative pathway. We show that ecotin inhibits MASP-3, which is the sole factor D activator in resting human blood. In pathway-specific ELISA tests, we found that all ecotin orthologs are potent lectin pathway inhibitors, and at high concentration, they block the alternative pathway as well. In flow cytometry experiments, we compared the extent of complement-mediated opsonization and lysis of wild-type and ecotin-knockout variants of two E. coli strains carrying different surface lipopolysaccharides. We show, that endogenous ecotin provides significant protections against these microbicidal activities for both bacteria. By using pathway specific complement inhibitors, we detected classical-, lectin- and alternative pathway-driven complement attack from normal serum, with the relative contributions of the activation routes depending on the lipopolysaccharide type. Moreover, in cell proliferation experiments we observed an additional, complement-unrelated antimicrobial activity exerted by heat-inactivated serum. While ecotin-knockout cells are highly vulnerable to these activities, endogenous ecotin of wild-type bacteria provides complete protection against the lectin pathway-related and the complement-unrelated attack, and partial protection against the alternative pathway-related damage. In all, ecotin emerges as a potent, versatile self-defense tool that blocks multiple antimicrobial activities of the serum. These findings suggest that ecotin might be a relevant antimicrobial drug target. Bloodstream infections are major cause of morbidity and mortality in many countries around the globe. As the number of multi-drug resistant pathogenic strains is growing, it is urgent to identify their virulence factors and unveil the corresponding mechanisms of action that enable the pathogen to avoid potent immune response. A microbial inhibitor of serine proteases, ecotin was previously implicated in protecting various pathogenic bacteria and eukaryotic Leishmania species against the host immune system by inhibiting leukocyte elastase. However, the interaction of ecotin with the complement system, which provides a first line defense against pathogens, remained unexplored. We found that ecotin blocks activation of the complement lectin pathway by inhibiting its key activator enzymes, MASP-1 and MASP-2. Furthermore, by inhibiting MASP-3, ecotin also disrupts a fundamental link between the lectin- and the alternative pathways. We provide evidence that E. coli cells devoid of ecotin are extremely vulnerable to complement-mediated lysis and they are also potently killed by some complement-independent antimicrobial factors of human serum. These findings could explain the observations of other research groups reporting that ecotin is crucial for the survival of pathogenic microbes in the host. Our results therefore also highlight ecotin as a potential target of future antimicrobial therapies.
