Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are small reactive molecules derived from elements in the air─oxygen and nitrogen. They are produced in biological systems to mediate fundamental aspects of cellular signaling but must be very tightly balanced to prevent indiscriminate damage to biological molecules. Small molecule probes can transmute the specific nature of each reactive oxygen and nitrogen species into an observable luminescent signal (or even an acoustic wave) to offer sensitive and selective imaging in living cells and whole animals. This review focuses specifically on small molecule probes for superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, nitric oxide, and peroxynitrite that provide a luminescent or photoacoustic signal. Important background information on general photophysical phenomena, common probe designs, mechanisms, and imaging modalities will be provided, and then, probes for each analyte will be thoroughly evaluated. A discussion of the successes of the field will be presented, followed by recommendations for improvement and a future outlook of emerging trends. Our objectives are to provide an informative, useful, and thorough field guide to small molecule probes for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as well as important context to compare the ecosystem of chemistries and molecular scaffolds that has manifested within the field.

Biomimetic engineering of a neuroinflammation-targeted MOF nanozyme scaffolded with photo-trigger released CO for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Chem Sci 2024; 15:13201-13208.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most fatal and irreversible neurodegenerative diseases, which causes a huge emotional and financial burden on families and society. Despite the progress made with recent clinical use of inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase and amyloid-β (Aβ) antibodies, the curative effects of AD treatment remain unsatisfactory, which is probably due to the complexity of pathogenesis and the multiplicity of therapeutic targets. Thus, modulating complex pathological networks could be an alternative approach to treat AD. Here, a neutrophil membrane-coated MOF nanozyme (denoted as Neu-MOF/Fla) is biomimetically engineered to disturb the malignant Aβ deposition-inflammation cycle and ameliorate the pathological network for effective AD treatment. Neu-MOF/Fla could recognize the pathological inflammatory signals of AD, and deliver the photo-triggered anti-inflammatory CO and MOF based hydrolytic nanozymes to the lesion area of the brain in a spontaneous manner. Based on the in vitro and in vivo studies, Neu-MOF/Fla significantly suppresses neuroinflammation, mitigates the Aβ burden, beneficially modulates the pro-inflammatory microglial phenotypes and improves the cognitive defects of AD mice models. Our work presents a good example for developing biomimetic multifunctional nanotherapeutics against AD by means of amelioration of multiple symptoms and improvement of cognitive defects.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) overexpressed in mitochondria has been regarded as a key biomarker in the pathological processes of various diseases. However, there is currently a lack of suitable mitochondria-targetable near-infrared (NIR) probes for the visualization of H2O2 in multiple diseases, such as PM2.5 exposure-induced lung injury, hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI), nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), hepatic fibrosis (HF), and malignant tumor tissues containing clinical cancer patient samples. Herein, we conceived a novel NIR fluorescent probe (HCy-H2O2) by introducing pentafluorobenzenesulfonyl as a H2O2 sensing unit into the NIR hemicyanine platform. HCy-H2O2 exhibits good sensitivity and selectivity toward H2O2, accompanied by a remarkable "turn-on" fluorescence signal at 720 nm. Meanwhile, HCy-H2O2 has stable mitochondria-targetable ability and permits monitoring of the up-generated H2O2 level during mitophagy. Furthermore, using HCy-H2O2, we have successfully observed an overproduced mitochondrial H2O2 in ambient PM2.5 exposure-induced lung injury, HIRI, NAFL, and HF models through NIR fluorescence imaging. Significantly, the visualization of H2O2 has been achieved in both tumor-bear mice as well as surgical specimens of cancer patients, making HCy-H2O2 a promising tool for cancer diagnosis and imaging-guided surgery.

Abstract
As an endogenous signaling molecule, carbon monoxide (CO) has emerged as an increasingly promising option regarding as gas therapy due to its positive pharmacological effects in various diseases. Owing to the gaseous nature and potential toxicity, it is particularly important to modulate the CO release dosages and targeted locations to elucidate the biological mechanisms of CO and facilitate its clinical applications. Based on these, diverse CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) have been developed for controlled release of CO in biological systems. However, practical applications of these CORMs are limited by several disadvantages including low stability, poor solubility, weak releasing controllability, random diffusion, and potential toxicity. In light of rapid developments and diverse advantages of nanomedicine, abundant nanomaterials releasing CO in controlled ways have been developed for therapeutic purposes across various diseases. Due to their nanoscale sizes, diversified compositions and modified surfaces, vast CO-releasing nanomaterials (CORNMs) have been constructed and exhibited controlled CO release in specific locations under various stimuli with better pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. In this review, we present the recent progress in CORNMs according to their compositions. Following a concise introduction to CO therapy, CORMs and CORNMs, the representative research progress of CORNMs constructed from organic nanostructures, hybrid nanomaterials, inorganic nanomaterials, and nanocomposites is elaborated. The basic properties of these CORNMs, such as active components, CO releasing mechanisms, detection methods, and therapeutic applications, are discussed in detail and listed in a table. Finally, we explore and discuss the prospects and challenges associated with utilizing nanomaterials for biological CO release.

Abstract
Herein, a novel fluorescence probe Fla-DNP based on flavonol has been designed and synthesized for rapid, specific detection of H2S. With the addition of H2S, Fla-DNP triggered thiolysis and released Fla displaying the "turn-on" fluorescence response at 566 nm, which is consistent with the reaction site predicted by calculating Electrostatic potential and ADCH charges. As an easily available H2S probe, Fla-DNP has the advantages of high selectivity, anti-interference, low detection limit (0.834 μM), short response time (6 min), and large Stokes shift (124 nm). The sensing mechanism of H2S was determined by HRMS analysis and DFT calculation. Moreover, Fla-DNP processes a wide range of multiple applications, including the detection of H2S in environmental water samples with good recovery rates ranging from 89.6% to 102.0%, as well as tracking the production of H2S during food spoilage. Meanwhile, the probe exhibits superior biocompatibility and can not only be available used for H2S detection in living cells but be further designed as an H2S-activated CO photoreleaser, based on which it can be developed as a targeted anti-cancer drug.

Abstract
Small molecule donors (SMDs) play subtle roles in the signaling mechanism and disease treatments. While many excellent SMDs have been developed, dosage control, targeted delivery, spatiotemporal feedback, as well as the efficiency evaluation of small molecules are still key challenges. Accordingly, fluorescent small molecule donors (FSMDs) have emerged to meet these challenges. FSMDs enable controllable release and non-invasive real-time monitoring, providing significant advantages for drug development and clinical diagnosis. Integration of FSMDs with chemotherapeutic, photodynamic or photothermal properties can take full advantage of each mode to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Given the remarkable properties and the thriving development of FSMDs, we believe a review is needed to summarize the design, triggering strategies and tracking mechanisms of FSMDs. With this review, we compiled FSMDs for most small molecules (nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, reactive oxygen species and formaldehyde), and discuss recent progress concerning their molecular design, structural classification, mechanisms of generation, triggered release, structure-activity relationships, and the fluorescence response mechanism. Firstly, from the large number of fluorescent small molecular donors available, we have organized the common structures for producing different types of small molecules, providing a general strategy for the development of FSMDs. Secondly, we have classified FSMDs in terms of the respective donor types and fluorophore structures. Thirdly, we discuss the mechanisms and factors associated with the controlled release of small molecules and the regulation of the fluorescence responses, from which universal guidelines for optical properties and structure rearrangement were established, mainly involving light-controlled, enzyme-activated, reactive oxygen species-triggered, biothiol-triggered, single-electron reduction, click chemistry, and other triggering mechanisms. Fourthly, representative applications of FSMDs for trackable release, and evaluation monitoring, as well as for visible in vivo treatment are outlined, to illustrate the potential of FSMDs in drug screening and precision medicine. Finally, we discuss the opportunities and remaining challenges for the development of FSMDs for practical and clinical applications, which we anticipate will stimulate the attention of researchers in the diverse fields of chemistry, pharmacology, chemical biology and clinical chemistry. With this review, we hope to impart new understanding thereby enabling the rapid development of the next generation of FSMDs.

Abstract
Copper is an essential trace element in the human body, and its level is directly related to many diseases. While the source of copper in human body is mainly intake from food, then the detection of copper ions (Cu2+) in food becomes crucial. Here, we synthesized a novel probe (E)-3-hydroxy-2-styryl-4H-benzo[h]chromen-4-one (NSHF) and explored the binding ability of NSHF for Cu2+ using nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy (1H NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), Job's plot method and density functional theory (DFT). NSHF shows the advantages of fast response time, good selectivity and high sensitivity for Cu2+. The fluorescence intensity ratio (F/F0) of NSHF shows a good linear relationship with the concentration of Cu2+ and the detection limit is 0.061 μM. NSHF was successfully applied to the detection of Cu2+ in real samples. In addition, a simple and convenient Cu2+ detection platform was constructed by combining NSHF with a smartphone and a UV lamp, which can realize the rapid detection of Cu2+. This work provides an effective tool for the real-time detection of Cu2+.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide shows great therapeutic potential in anti-cancer. In particular, the construction of multifunctional CO delivery systems can promote the precise delivery of CO and achieve ideal therapeutic effects, but there are still great challenges in design. In this work, a RSS and ROS sequentially activated CO delivery system is developed for boosting NIR imaging-guided on-demand photodynamic therapy. This designed system is composed of a CO releaser (BOD-CO) and a photosensitizer (BOD-I). BOD-CO can be specifically activated by hydrogen sulfide with simultaneous release of CO donor and NIR fluorescence that can identify H2S-rich tumors and guide light therapy, also depleting H2S in the process. Moreover, BOD-I generates 1O2 under long-wavelength light irradiation, enabling both PDT and precise local release of CO via a photooxidation mechanism. Such sequential activation of CO release by RSS and ROS ensured the safety and controllability of CO delivery, and effectively avoided leakage during delivery. Importantly, cytotoxicity and in vivo studies reveal that the release of CO combined with the depletion of endogenous H2S amplified PDT, achieving ideal anticancer results. It is believed that such theranostic nanoplatform can provide a novel strategy for the precise CO delivery and combined therapy involved in gas therapy and PDT.

Abstract
The abuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of a wide range of drug-resistant bacteria. To address the challenge of drug-resistant bacterial infections and related infectious diseases, several effective antibacterial strategies have been developed. To achieve enhanced therapeutic effects, combinational treatment approaches should be employed. With this in mind, a metal-organic framework (MOF) based nanoreactor with integrated photodynamic therapy (PDT) and gas therapy which can release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and carbon monoxide (CO) under red light irradiation has been developed. The release of ROS and CO under red light irradiation exerts a preferential antibacterial effect on Gram-positive/Gram-negative bacteria. The bactericidal effects of ROS and CO on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are better than ROS only, showing a combinational antibacterial effect. Furthermore, the fluorescence emission properties of porphyrin moieties can be leveraged for real-time tracking and imaging of the nanoreactors. The simple preparation procedures of this material further enhance its potential as a versatile and effective antibacterial candidate, thereby presenting a new strategy for PDT and gas combinational treatment.

Abstract
Two-photon excited fluorescence imaging requires high-performance two-photon absorption (TPA) active materials, which are commonly intramolecular charge transfer systems prepared by traditional chemical synthesis. However, this typically needs harsh conditions and new methods are becoming crucial. In this work, based on a collaborative intermolecular charge transfer (inter-CT) strategy, three centimeter-sized organic TPA cocrystals are successfully obtained. All three cocrystals exhibit a mixed stacking arrangement, which can effectively generate inter-CT between the donor and acceptor. The ground and excited state characterizations compare their inter-CT ability: 1,2-BTC > 2D-BTC > 1D-BTC. Transient absorption spectroscopy detects TCNB•- , indicating that the TPA mechanism arises from molecular polarization caused by inter-CT. Meanwhile, 1,2-BTC exhibits the highest excited-state absorption and the longest excited-state lifetime, suggesting a stronger TPA response. First-principles calculations also confirm the presence of inter-CT interactions, and the significant parameter Δµ which can assess the TPA capability indicates that inter-CT enhances the TPA response. Besides, cocrystals also demonstrate excellent water solubility and two-photon excited fluorescence imaging capabilities. This research not only provides an effective method for synthesizing TPA crystal materials and elucidates the connection between inter-CT ability and TPA property but also successfully applies them in the fields of multi-photon fluorescence bioimaging.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas therapy demonstrates great potential to induce cancer cell apoptosis and antitumor immune responses, which exhibits tremendous potential in cancer treatment. However, the therapeutic efficacy of CO therapy is inhibited by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a facile strategy is proposed to construct hollow-structured rough nanoplatforms to boost antitumor immunity and simultaneously reverse immunosuppression by exploring intrinsic immunomodulatory properties and morphological optimization of nanomaterials. The TME-responsive delivery nanosystems (M-RMH) are developed by encapsulating the CO prodrug within hollow rough MnO2 nanoparticles and the subsequent surface functionalization with hyaluronic acid (HA). Rough surfaces are designed to facilitate the intrinsic properties of HA-functionalized MnO2 nanoparticles (RMH) to induce dendritic cell maturation and M1 macrophage polarization by STING pathway activation and hypoxia alleviation through enhanced cellular uptake. After TME-responsive degradation of RMH, controlled release of CO is triggered at the tumor site for CO therapy to activate antitumor immunity. More importantly, RMH could modulate immunosuppressive TME by hypoxia alleviation. After the combination with aPD-L1-mediated checkpoint blockade therapy, robust antitumor immune responses are found to inhibit both primary and distant tumors. This work provides a facile strategy to construct superior delivery nanosystems for enhanced CO/immunotherapy through efficient activation of antitumor immune responses and reversal of immunosuppression.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide has shown promise as a therapeutic agent against cancers. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-activated CO prodrugs are highly demanded for targeted cancer treatment but remain sporadic. In addition, little attention is on how the release rate affects CO's biological effects. Herein, we describe a new type of ROS-activated metal-free CO prodrug, which releases CO with tunable release rates in response to multiple ROS and exhibits very pronounced tumor suppression effects in a mouse 4t1 breast tumor model. Importantly, for the first time, we observe both in vitro and in vivo that CO release rate has a direct impact on its antiproliferative potency and a correlation between release rate and antiproliferative activity is observed. In aggregates, our results not only deliver ROS-sensitive CO prodrugs for cancer treatment but also represent a promising starting point for further in-depth studies of how CO release kinetics affect anticancer activity.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection is a major infectious skin disease that is highly resistant to conventional antibiotic treatment and host immune defense, leading to recurrence and exacerbation of bacterial infection. Herein, we developed a photoresponsive carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing nanocomposite by integrating anion-π+ type-I photosensitizer (OMeTBP) and organometallic complex (FeCO) for the treatment of planktonic S. aureus and biofilm-associated infections. After optimizing the molar ratio of FeCO and OMeTBP, the prepared nanoparticles, OMeTBP@FeCONPs, not only ensured sufficient loading of CO donors and efficient CO generation but also showed negligible free ROS leakage under light irradiation, which helped to avoid tissue damage caused by excessive ROS. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that OMeTBP@FeCONPs could effectively inhibit S. aureus methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and bacterial biofilm. Our design has the potential to overcome the resistance of conventional antibiotic treatment and provide a more effective option for bacterial infections.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a recently discovered gasotransmitter. In animals, it has been found that endogenously produced CO participates in the regulation of various metabolic processes. Recent research has indicated that CO, acting as a signaling molecule, plays a crucial regulatory role in plant development and their response to abiotic stress. In this work, we developed a fluorescent probe, named COP (carbonic oxide Probe), for the in situ imaging of CO in Arabidopsis thaliana plant tissues. The probe was designed by combining malononitrile-naphthalene as the fluorophore and a typical palladium-mediated reaction mechanism. When reacted with the released CO, COP showed an obvious fluorescence enhancement at 575 nm, which could be observed in naked-eye conditions. With a linear range of 0-10 μM, the limit of detection of COP was determined as 0.38 μM. The detection system based on COP indicated several advantages including relatively rapid response within 20 min, steadiness in a wide pH range of 5.0-10.0, high selectivity, and applicative anti-interference. Moreover, with a penetration depth of 30 μm, COP enabled 3D imaging of CO dynamics in plant samples, whether it was caused by agent release, heavy metal stress, or inner oxidation. This work provides a fluorescent probe for monitoring CO levels in plant samples, and it expands the application field of CO-detection technology, assisting researchers in understanding the dynamic changes in plant physiological processes, making it an important tool for studying plant physiology and biological processes.

Abstract
The alleviation of drug-induced liver injury has been a long-term public health concern. Growing evidence suggests that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Therefore, the inhibition of ER stress has gradually become one of the important pathways to alleviate drug-induced liver injury. In this work, we developed an ER-targeted photoreleaser, ERC, for controllable carbon monoxide (CO) release with a near-infrared light trigger. By employing peroxynitrite (ONOO-) as an imaging biomarker of hepatotoxicity, the remediating effect of CO was mapped upon drug acetaminophen (APAP) challenge. The direct and visual evidence of suppressing oxidative and nitrosative stress by CO was obtained both in living cells and in mice. Additionally, the ER stress inhibiting the effect of CO was verified during drug-induced hepatotoxicity. This work demonstrated that CO may be employed as a potent potential antidote for APAP-related oxidative and nitrative stress remediation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) features high biocompatibility and high spatiotemporal selectivity, showing a great potential in glioblastoma (GBM) treatment. However, its application was restricted by the poor therapeutic efficacy and side effect. RESULTS In this study, a therapeutic nanoplatform (UCNPs@Ce6/3HBQ@CM) with combination of PDT and CO therapy was constructed, in which a photoCORM and a photosensitizer were loaded onto the surface of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) functioning as photon transducer. Benefitting from NIR excitation and multicolor emission of UCNPs, the penetration depth of excitation light is enhanced and meanwhile simultaneous generation of CO and ROS in tumor site can be achieved. The as-prepared nanocomposite possessed an elevated therapeutic efficiency with the assistance of CO through influencing mitochondrial respiration and depleting ATP, accompanying with the reduced inflammatory responses. By wrapping a homologous cell membrane, the nanocomposite can target GBM and accumulate in the tumor site, affording a powerful tool for precise and efficient treatment of GBM. CONCLUSION This therapeutic nanoplatform UCNPs@Ce6/3HBQ@CM, which combines PDT and CO therapy enables precise and efficient treatment of refractory glioblastoma.

Abstract
Gasotransmitters like nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide with unique pleiotropic pharmacological effects in mammals are an emerging therapeutic modality for different human diseases including cancer, infection, ischemia-reperfusion injuries, and inflammation; however, their clinical translation is hampered by the lack of a reliable delivery form, which delivers such gasotransmitters to the action site with precisely controlled dosage. The external stimuli-responsive prodrug strategy has shown tremendous potential in developing gasotransmitter prodrugs, which affords precise temporospatial control and better dose control compared with endogenous stimuli-sensitive prodrugs. The promising external stimuli employed for gasotransmitter activation range from photo, ultrasound, and bioorthogonal click chemistry to exogenous enzymes. Herein, we highlight the recent development of external stimuli-mediated decaging chemistry for the temporospatial delivery of gasotransmitters including nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide, and discuss the pros and cons of different designs.

Abstract
Photolysis-based prodrug strategy can address some critical drug delivery issues, which otherwise are very challenging to tackle with traditional prodrug strategy. However, the need for external light irradiation significantly hampers its in vivo application due to the poor light accessibility of deep tissue. Herein, we propose a new strategy of chemiexcitation-triggered prodrug activation, wherein a photoresponsive prodrug is excited for drug payload release by chemiexcitation instead of photoirradiation. As such, the bond-cleavage power of photolysis can be employed to address some critical drug delivery issues while obviating the need for external light irradiation. We have established the proof of concept by the successful development of a chemiexcitation responsive carbon monoxide delivery platform, which exhibited specific CO release at the tumor site and pronounced tumor suppression effects. We anticipate that such a concept of chemiexcitation-triggered prodrug activation can be leveraged for the targeted delivery of other small molecule-based drug payloads.

Abstract
Herein, we report three new metal-free, photochemically active single, dual, and combinatorial CORMs (photoCORMs) based on a carbazole-fused 1,3-dioxol-2-one moiety which released one equivalent of CO, two equivalent of CO, and a combination of one equivalent of each CO and anticancer drug upon one- and two-photon excitation, respectively. The photoCORMs exhibited good cellular uptake and real-time monitoring ability of CO uncaging by a color change approach in cancerous B16F10 cells. Interestingly, the cytotoxicity assay on B16F10 cells indicated that the dual photoCORM has increased anticancer activity over the single and combinatorial photoCORMs upon irradiation. Our results also showed that CO could accelerate the effectiveness of the well-known anticancer drug (chlorambucil). Finally, the in vivo evaluation of the dual photoCORM on an established murine melanoma tumor (C57BL/6J mouse model) manifested a significant regression of tumor volume and led to significant improvement (>50%) in the overall survivability.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injuries are from the secondary radicals of ONOO-. Direct radical scavenging is difficult because of their high reactivity. ONOO- is longer-lived than the radicals in the biological milieu. Scavenging ONOO- suppresses radical generation preventively. CO is neuroprotective during ischemia. With the scaffold of carbon-caged xanthene, we designed an OONO--triggered CO donor (PCOD585). Notably, PCOD585 exhibited a concomitant fluorescence turn-on upon ONOO-detection, facilitating microscopic monitoring. PCOD585 was cytoprotective in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-insulted PC-12 cells. It was permeable to the blood-brain barrier and further exhibited neuroprotective effects to MCAO rats by reducing infarction volume, cell apoptosis, and brain edema.

Abstract
Natural small molecules derived from plants have fascinated scientists for centuries due to their practical applications in various fields, especially in nanomedicine. Some of the natural molecules were found to show intrinsic optical features such as fluorescence emission and photosensitization, which could be beneficial to provide spatial temporal information and help tracking the drugs in biological systems. Much efforts have been devoted to the investigation of optical properties and practical applications of natural molecules. In this review, optical properties of natural small molecules and their applications in fluorescence imaging, and theranostics will be summarized. First, we will introduce natural small molecules with different fluorescence emission, ranging from blue to near infrared emission. Second, imaging applications in biological samples will be covered. Third, we will discuss the applications of theranostic nanomedicines or drug delivering systems containing fluorescent natural molecules acting as imaging agents or photosensitizers. Finally, future perspectives in this field will be discussed.

Abstract
In addition to being notorious air pollutants, nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have also been known as endogenous gaseous signaling molecules (GSMs). These GSMs play critical roles in maintaining the homeostasis of living organisms. Importantly, the occurrence and development of many diseases such as inflammation and cancer are highly associated with the concentration changes of GSMs. As such, GSMs could also be used as new therapeutic agents, showing great potential in the treatment of many formidable diseases. Although clinically it is possible to directly inhale GSMs, the precise control of the dose and concentration for local delivery of GSMs remains a substantial challenge. The development of gaseous signaling molecule-releasing molecules provides a great tool for the safe and convenient delivery of GSMs. In this review article, we primarily focus on the recent development of macromolecular nanocarriers for the local delivery of various GSMs. Learning from the chemistry of small molecule-based donors, the integration of these gaseous signaling molecule-releasing molecules into polymeric matrices through physical encapsulation, post-modification, or direct polymerization approach renders it possible to fabricate numerous macromolecular nanocarriers with optimized pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, revealing improved therapeutic performance than the small molecule analogs. The development of GSMs represents a new means for many disease treatments with unique therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
The first B-ring-extended (to biphenyl) flavonol-based Cys-ratiometric fluorescent probe B-bph-fla-acr (2-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl acrylate) is developed. B-bph-fla-acr can ratiometrically sense and non-ratiometrically image endogenous and exogenous cysteine (Cys) in living HeLa cells and zebrafish rapidly (45 s), selectively (vs. homocysteine and glutathione), sensitively (detection limit: 18.5 nM), and with a large Stokes shift (186 nm). Quantitatively released (from the reaction of B-bph-fla-acr with Cys) fluorophore B-bph-fla-OH (2-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one) is designed as a photoCORM (photo-triggered CO releasing molecule). Under O2 and visible light irradiation, the amount of CO released by B-bph-fla-OH can be accurately controlled linearly by adjusting the light irradiation intensity, irradiation time, or photoCORM dose. This process is accompanied by fluorescence quenching; therefore, the location of the photoCORM and the CO release process can be monitored in real time. B-bph-fla-acr and all reaction products exhibit good membrane permeability and low toxicity for living HeLa cells. In living HeLa cells and zebrafish, B-bph-fla-acr can image endogenous and exogenous Cys, and the released B-bph-fla-OH can photo-release CO under O2 at room temperature. This study is the first to combine a B-ring-extended flavonol-based fluorescent probe (for the effective ratiometric sensing and non-ratiometric imaging of endogenous and exogenous Cys in vitro and in vivo) with a photoCORM (Cys-activated, visible light-triggered linear CO release under O2). Our study provides important insights into the biological roles of Cys and CO, as well as a reliable method for safely supplying accurately controlled amounts of CO to living systems, thereby facilitating the development of convenient clinical diagnostic molecular tools and therapeutic prodrugs.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) has been known as an endogenous signaling molecule in addition to an air pollutant. It plays a critical role in many physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, CO has been recognized as a potent therapeutic agent for the treatment of numerous diseases such as cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, and so on. Instead of direct CO inhalation, two main categories of CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) (i. e., metal carbonyls and nonmetallic CO donors) have been developed to safely and locally deliver CO to target tissues. In this minireview, we summarize the recent achievements of CORMs on antibacterial applications. It appears that the antibacterial activity of CORMs is different from CO gas, which is tightly correlated to not only the types of CORMs applied but also the tested bacterial strains. In some circumstances, the antibacterial mechanisms are debated and need to be clarified. We hope more attention can be paid to this emerging field and new antibacterial agents with a low risk of drug resistance can be developed.

Abstract
Multifunctional drug delivery systems enabling effective drug delivery and comprehensive treatment are critical to successful cancer treatment. Overcoming nonspecific release and off-target effects remains challenging in precise drug delivery. Here, we design triple-interlocked drug delivery systems to perform specific cancer cell recognition, controlled drug release and effective comprehensive therapy. Gold nanocages (AuNCs) comprise a novel class of nanostructures possessing hollow interiors and porous walls. AuNCs are employed as a drug carrier and photothermal transducer due to their unique structure and photothermal properties. A smart triple-interlocked I-type DNA nanostructure is modified on the surface of the AuNCs, and molecules of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) are loaded as molecular cargo and blocked. The triple-interlocked nanostructure can be unlocked by binding with three types of tumor-related mRNAs, which act as "keys" to the triple locks, sequentially, which leads to precise drug release. Additionally, fluorescence-imaging-oriented chemical-photothermal synergistic treatment is achieved under illumination with infrared light. This drug delivery system, which combines the advantages of AuNCs and interlocked I-type DNA, successfully demonstrates effective and precise imaging, drug release and photothermal therapy. This multifunctional triple-interlocked drug delivery system could be used as a potential carrier for effective cancer-targeting comprehensive chemotherapy and photothermal therapy treatments.

Abstract
Optical imaging probes allow us to detect and uncover the physiological and pathological functions of an analyte of interest at the molecular level in a non-invasive, longitudinal manner. By virtue of simplicity, low cost, high sensitivity, adaptation to automated analysis, capacity for spatially resolved imaging and diverse signal output modes, optical imaging probes have been widely applied in biology, physiology, pharmacology and medicine. To build a reliable and practically/clinically relevant probe, the design process often encompasses multidisciplinary themes, including chemistry, biology and medicine. Within the repertoire of probes, dual-locked systems are particularly interesting as a result of their ability to offer enhanced specificity and multiplex detection. In addition, chemiluminescence is a low-background, excitation-free optical modality and, thus, can be integrated into dual-locked systems, permitting crosstalk-free fluorescent and chemiluminescent detection of two distinct biomarkers. For many researchers, these dual-locked systems remain a 'black box'. Therefore, this Review aims to offer a 'beginner's guide' to such dual-locked systems, providing simple explanations on how they work, what they can do and where they have been applied, in order to help readers develop a deeper understanding of this rich area of research.

Abstract
Multifunctional cancer treatments based on gas therapy combined with other cancer treatments have gained tremendous attention and hold great promise in biomedical applications. In this study, a carbon monoxide-releasing nanoplatform combined with near-infrared (NIR) laser-triggered photothermal therapy (PTT) was constructed. The nanoplatform was composed of manganese pentacarbonyl bromide (MnCO)-loaded g-carbon nitride/polypyrrole (CNPpy) nanomaterials (MnCO@CNPpy). MnCO can be triggered to produce CO under H2O2 conditions. Upon exogenous NIR light stimulation and tumor microenvironment-overexpressed H2O2, MnCO@CNPpy exhibited excellent CO generation performance and photothermal effect. The generation of CO induced intracellular oxidative stress and caused cell apoptosis. Additionally, photoacoustic (PA) imaging was performed to track the delivery and accumulation of the nanomaterial in tumor sites because of the great photothermal conversion of CNPpy. The presented MnCO@CNPpy nanoplatform displayed desirable PTT and CO therapy in the inhibition of tumor growth and may provide a promising strategy for multifunctional antitumor synergistic treatments.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an important gaseous signaling molecule. The use of CO-releasing molecules such as metal carbonyls enables the elucidation of the pleiotropic functions of CO. Although metal carbonyls show a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, it remains unclear whether the bactericidal property originates from the transition metals or the released CO. Here, we develop nonmetallic CO-releasing micelles via a photooxygenation mechanism of 3-hydroxyflavone derivatives, enabling CO release under red light irradiation (e.g., 650 nm). Unlike metal carbonyls that non-specifically internalize into both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, the nonmetallic micelles are selectively taken up by S. aureus instead of E. coli cells, exerting a selective bactericidal effect. Further, we demonstrate that the CO-releasing micelles can cure methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA)-infected wounds, simultaneously eradicating MRSA pathogens and accelerating wound healing.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) as an emerging treatment holds great promise for inducing the apoptosis of cancer cells. Here coordination assembled strategy is first reported for synthesis of Cu(II)-flavone coordination polymer (NCu-FleCP) CO nanoprodrug that is stable in normal physiological conditions, and yet readily reduces to small size prodrug complex and releases CO on demand under glutathione (GSH) and near infrared (NIR) light. Specifically, after uptaking by cancer cells, local GSH attacked coordination bond within NCu-FleCP, resulting in the release of Cu(I) and free Fle. The CC bond of Fle is cleavage under NIR light to release CO for gas therapy, and Cu(I) reacts with local H2 O2 through Fenton like reaction to generate hydroxyl radicals (• OH) for chemodynamic therapy. Detailed in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that the CO prodrug system in generating a sufficient quantity of CO and • OH offers remarkable destructive effects against cancer cells without causing toxicity to surrounding normal tissues. The study provides a solid foundation to develop smart coordination polymer CO prodrugs with on-demand CO release, enhanced permeability and retention effect, and biodegradability for multimodal synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gaseous signaling molecule produced in humans via the breakdown of heme in an O2-dependent reaction catalyzed by heme oxygenase enzymes. A long-lived species relative to other signaling molecules (e.g., NO, H2S), CO exerts its physiological effects via binding to low-valent transition metal centers in proteins and enzymes. Studies involving the administration of low doses of CO have shown its potential as a therapeutic agent to produce vasodilation, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and anticancer effects. In pursuit of developing tools to define better the role and therapeutic potential of CO, carbon monoxide releasing molecules (CORMs) were developed. To date, the vast majority of reported CORMs have been metal carbonyl complexes, with the most well-known being Ru2Cl4(CO)6 (CORM-2), Ru(CO)3Cl(glycinate) (CORM-3), and Mn(CO)4(S2CNMe(CH2CO2H)) (CORM-401). These complexes have been used to probe the effects of CO in hundreds of cell- and animal-based experiments. However, through recent investigations, it has become evident that these reagents exhibit complicated reactivity in biological environments. The interpretation of the effects produced by some of these complexes is obscured by protein binding, such that their formulation is not clear, and by CO leakage and potential redox activity. An additional weakness with regard to CORM-2 and CORM-3 is that these compounds cannot be tracked via fluorescence. Therefore, it is unclear where or when CO release occurs, which confounds the interpretation of experiments using these molecules. To address these weaknesses, our research team has pioneered the development of metal-free CORMs based on structurally tunable extended flavonol or quinolone scaffolds. In addition to being highly controlled, with CO release only occurring upon triggering with visible light (photoCORMs), these CO donors are trackable via fluorescence prior to CO release in cellular environments and can be targeted to specific cellular locations.In the Account, we highlight the development and application of a series of structurally related flavonol photoCORMs that (1) sense characteristics of cellular environments prior to CO release; (2) enable evaluation of the influence of cytosolic versus mitochondrial-localized CO release on cellular bioenergetics; (3) probe the cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory effects of intracellular versus extracellular CO delivery; and (4) demonstrate that albumin delivery of a photoCORM enables potent anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects. A key advantage of using triggered CO release compounds in these investigations is the ability to examine the effects of the molecular delivery vehicle in the absence and presence of localized CO release, thus providing insight into the independent contributions of CO. Overall, flavonol-based CO delivery molecules offer opportunities for triggerable, trackable, and targetable CO delivery that are unprecedented in terms of previously reported CORMs and, thus, offer significant potential for applications in biological systems.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) plays an important role in the regulation of a variety of physiological processes and thus is regarded as a promising pharmaceutical agent. Nevertheless, therapeutic applications of CO are severely hampered by the difficulty of the delivery of controlled amounts of CO to biological targets. To address this deficiency, we present a spatiotemporally controllable CO-releasing platform (designated as Neu-MnO2/Fla) for synergistic anti-inflammation. With the assistance of neutrophil membrane coating, Neu-MnO2/Fla can target to inflammatory sites. Subsequently, excess H2O2 at the inflamed tissues can be decomposed into oxygen because of MnO2 as nanozymes possessing catalase (CAT) activity, which not only relieves oxidative stress but also achieves in situ rapid photo-induced CO release. The in vitro and in vivo results indicate our CO-releasing platform exhibits a strong synergistic anti-inflammatory effect. Our work will shed light on targeted CO release to avoid side effects of therapeutic applications of CO.

Abstract
Visualization of Hg(II) and MeHg in their native contexts is significant for examining mercury poisoning, while it is challenging because of indistinguishable fluorescent (FL) signals during FL imaging. Herein, visualizations of mercury methylation and dynamic transformations of Hg(II) and MeHg are achieved in living biological systems. Well distinguishable FL responses (blue emission for Hg(II), yellow emission for MeHg) are obtained by a double-response FL probe (DPAHB) without any interference. As demonstrated by experimental and computational studies, the distinguishable signals are attributed to selective binding with DPAHB and different inhibition of excited-state proton transfer. Through control tests for live-dead markers, mercury methylation is demonstrated to be employed in living biological systems. Therefore, the methylation and dynamic transformations of both ions are monitored in zebrafish by imaging, and these results are confirmed by traditional high-performance liquid chromatography-based methods. The methylation of Hg(II) to MeHg, dynamic transformations and final accumulations of both species in zebrafish tissues are visualized successfully. This method is also convenient for fast evaluation of detoxification reagents. This is the first visualization of in vivo mercury methylation and dynamic transformation of both species and is effective for studying pathological processes in their native contexts.
