Abstract
The use of fluorescent probes in visible detection has been developed over the last several decades. Biomolecules are essential in the biological processes of organisms, and their distribution and concentration are largely influenced by environmental factors. Significant advances have occurred in the applications of fluorescent probes for the detection of the dynamic localization and quantity of biomolecules during various environmental stress-induced physiological and pathological processes. Herein, we summarize representative examples of small molecule-based fluorescent probes that provide bimolecular information when the organism is under environmental stress. The discussion includes strategies for the design of smart small-molecule fluorescent probes, in addition to their applications in biomolecule imaging under environmental stresses, such as hypoxia, ischemia-reperfusion, hyperthermia/hypothermia, organic/inorganic chemical exposure, oxidative/reductive stress, high glucose stimulation, and drug treatment-induced toxicity. We believe that comprehensive insight into the beneficial applications of fluorescent probes in biomolecule detection under environmental stress should enable the further development and effective application of fluorescent probes in the biochemical and biomedical fields.

Robbins E, Leroy-Lhez S, Villandier N, Samoć M, Matczyszyn K. Prospects for More Efficient Multi-Photon Absorption Photosensitizers Exhibiting Both Reactive Oxygen Species Generation and Luminescence. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26206323. [PMID: 34684904 PMCID: PMC8541311 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26206323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2021] [Revised: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of two-photon absorption (TPA) for such applications as microscopy, imaging, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) offers several advantages over the usual one-photon excitation. This creates a need for photosensitizers that exhibit both strong two-photon absorption and the highly efficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as, ideally, bright luminescence. This review focuses on different strategies utilized to improve the TPA properties of various multi-photon absorbing species that have the required photophysical properties. Along with well-known families of photosensitizers, including porphyrins, we also describe other promising organic and organometallic structures and more complex systems involving organic and inorganic nanoparticles. We concentrate on the published studies that provide two-photon absorption cross-section values and the singlet oxygen (or other ROS) and luminescence quantum yields, which are crucial for potential use within PDT and diagnostics. We hope that this review will aid in the design and modification of novel TPA photosensitizers, which can help in exploiting the features of nonlinear absorption processes.

ACS OMEGA 2018; 3:3737-3743.

Abstract
In this study, two kinds of novel carbazole-based ethynylpyridine salts: 3,6-bis[2-(1-methylpyridinium)ethynyl]-9-pentyl-carbazole diiodide (BMEPC) and 3,6-bis[2-(1-methylpyridinium)ethynyl]-9-methyl-carbazole diiodide (BMEMC) have been employed as photosensitizers owing to their excellent antibacterial activity. These molecules possess symmetric A-π-D-π-A-type structures, which would bring in the unique optical properties. The inhibition zone measurement of a gradient concentration from 0 to 100 μM showed BMEPC and BMEMC photoinduced antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. Diameters of zone of inhibition were up to 15 and 14 mm under laser irradiations. Under the exposure of the laser of 442 nm with a power density of 20 mW/cm2, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of BMEPC on E. coli were between 3.5 and 6.9 μM and that of BMEMC were between 9.4 and 18.8 μM, respectively. In the dark experiments as a control, the MIC value is between 6.9 and 13.8 μM for BMEPC, whereas it is between 187.5 and 225.0 μM for BMEMC. By the comparison of the MIC values of BMEPC and BMEMC with laser irradiation and in dark, the laser-induced toxicity on bacteria is more evident, though both of the derivatives have dark toxicity. With the laser irradiation duration of 30 s and 10 min for BMEPC and BMEMC, respectively, the survival rate of E. coli approximates zero. An antibacterial mechanism has been proposed based on the electron paramagnetic resonance characterization, which indicates that a nitride radical is generated under laser irradiation. The carbazole-based ethynylpyridine photosensitizers would provide high potential for further applications in photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
A series of ionic benzotristhiazolium (BTT) push-pull chromophores, with different nitrogen donor groups and different lengths of conjugated bridges, was successfully doped in polar polymer matrices (PVC and PSS). The spectral (photophysical) properties of their low concentration thin polymeric films are compared with those in solution and are discussed in terms of matrix polarity/viscosity influence, specific polymer-chromophore interaction, structure-spectral property relationship and Twisted Intramolecular Charge-Transfer (TICT) state formation. The elimination of a non-emissive phantom and TICT state formation by restricted intramolecular rotations in the polymer matrix or viscous solvent results in a relatively high ΦF of all the investigated NLO-phores; particularly for near-infrared NIR molecular rotors bearing diphenylamino and julolidine donor groups. Because of cationic characteristics, small molecular weight, calculated high second hyperpolarizability and significant emission efficiency dependence on surroundings' viscosity (rigidochromic effect), two dyes were chosen as candidates for potential fluorescent probes for one-photon (1P) and two photon (2P) cellular imaging. The selected BTT NLO-phore with a julolidine donor is promising as a mitochondria-specific fluorescent small molecular probe for live cell super-resolution imaging with low cytotoxicity and good photostability, and is also potentially suitable for super-resolution STED imaging.

Abstract
Recent progress in developing various strategies for exploiting efficient MPA fluorophores for two emerging technological MPA applications including frequency upconversion photoluminescence and lasing as well as 2PA fluorescence bioimaging and biosensing are presented. An intriguing application of MPA frequency-upconverted lasing offers opportunity for the fabrication of high-energy coherent light sources in the blue region which could create new advantages and breakthroughs in various laser-based applications. In addition, multiphoton excitation has led to considerable progress in the development of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic treatments; further advancement is anticipated with the emergence of various versatile 2PA fluorescence probes. It is widely appreciated that the two-photon excitation offers significant advantages for the biological fluorescence imaging and sensing which includes higher spatial resolution, less photobleaching and photodamage as well as deeper tissue penetration as compared to the one-photon excited microscopy. To be practically useful, the 2PA fluorescent probes for biological applications are required to have a site-specificity, a high fluorescence quantum yield, proper two-photon excitation and subsequent emission wavelengths, good photodecomposition stability, water solubility, and biocompatibility besides large 2PA action cross-sections.

Abstract
Small-molecule fluorochromes are used in biology and medicine to generate informative microscopic and macroscopic images, permitting identification of cell structures, measurement of physiological/physicochemical properties, assessment of biological functions and assay of chemical components. Modes of uptake and precise intracellular localisation of a probe are typically significant factors in its successful application. These processes and localisations can be predicted using quantitative structure activity relations (QSAR) models, which correlate aspects of the physicochemical properties of the probes (expressed numerically) with the uptake/localisation. Pay-offs of such modelling include better understanding and trouble-shooting of current and novel probes, and easier design of future probes ("guided synthesis"). Uptake models discussed consider adsorptive (to lipid or protein domains), phagocytic and pinocytotic endocytosis, as well as passive diffusion. Localisation models discussed include those for cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lipid droplets, lysosomes, mitochondria, nucleus and plasma membrane. A case example illustrates how such QSAR modelling of probe interactions can clarify localisation and mode of binding of probes to intracellular nucleic acids of living cells, including not only eukaryotic chromatin DNA and ribosomal RNA, but also prokaryote chromosomes.

Abstract
Herein we report on the synthesis and DNA recognition properties of a series of three N-phenyl carbazole-based light-up probes initially designed for two-photon absorption. The vinylic derivatives (Cbz-2Py, Cbz-3Py) display strong fluorescence enhancement when bound to various duplex- and quadruplex-forming oligonucleotides whereas the oxazole derivative is not fluorescent in DNA. Determination of affinity constants by fluorimetric titrations evidenced that Cbz-2Py has a clear preference for AT-rich duplex structures. Circular Dichroism (CD) measurements confirmed the sequence-dependent binding of this compound and suggest insertion in the minor groove as shown by a strong induced CD (ICD) signal and further supported by molecular modeling. Altogether the data indicate that duplex vs quadruplex selectivity of the dyes is strongly dependent on the sequence of the duplex. Finally, the dyes exhibit high two-photon absorption cross-sections (up to 540GM in glycerol) and allow a fine and bright staining of nuclear DNA with low background fluorescence as shown by one and two-photon confocal microscopy imaging of fixed cells.
