Abstract
Since their inception, rhodamine dyes have been extensively applied in biotechnology as fluorescent markers or for the detection of biomolecules owing to their good optical physical properties. Accordingly, they have emerged as a powerful tool for the visualization of living systems. In addition to fluorescence bioimaging, the molecular design of rhodamine derivatives with disease therapeutic functions (e.g., cancer and bacterial infection) has recently attracted increased research attention, which is significantly important for the construction of molecular libraries for diagnostic and therapeutic integration. However, reviews focusing on integrated design strategies for rhodamine dye-based diagnosis and treatment and their wide application in disease treatment are extremely rare. In this review, first, a brief history of the development of rhodamine fluorescent dyes, the transformation of rhodamine fluorescent dyes from bioimaging to disease therapy, and the concept of optics-based diagnosis and treatment integration and its significance to human development are presented. Next, a systematic review of several excellent rhodamine-based derivatives for bioimaging, as well as for disease diagnosis and treatment, is presented. Finally, the challenges in practical integration of rhodamine-based diagnostic and treatment dyes and the future outlook of clinical translation are also discussed.

Abstract
Oxidases and peroxidases are two subclasses of oxidoreductases. The abnormal expression of oxidases (such as tyrosinase, cytochrome P450 oxidases, and monoamine oxidases) and peroxidases (such as glutathione peroxidase, myeloperoxidase, and eosinophil peroxidase) is relative with some diseases. Therefore, the analysis of oxidases and peroxidases is great important for disease diagnosis and treatment. Fluorescent probes present simple protocol, high sensitivity and good stability in sensing field. Molecule fluorescent probes are constructed with chemical groups that tunes their fluorescence emission in response to binding events, chemical reactions, and the surrounding environment. A fluorescent probe is an efficient tool for visualizing the activity of enzymes in living organisms on the basis of its high specificity, sensitivity, and noninvasiveness characteristics. In this review, we focus on the sensing of oxidases and peroxidases by molecule fluorescent probes, and hope to bring new insight to wide researchers about oxidases and peroxidases in biological samples.

Abstract
As biological catalysts, enzymes are vital in controlling numerous metabolic reactions. The regulation of enzymes in living cells and the amount present are indicators of the metabolic status of cell, whether in normal condition or disease. The small-molecule fluorescent probes are of interest because of their high sensitivity and selectivity, as well as their potential for automated detection. Fluorescent probes have been useful in targeting particular enzymes of interest such as proteases and caspases. However, it is difficult to develop an ideal fluorescent probe for versatile purposes. In the future, the design and synthesis of enzyme-targeting fluorescent probes will focus more on improving the selectivity, sensitivity, penetration ability and to couple the fluorescent probes with other available imaging molecules/technologies.

Abstract
This is great significant to establish a method that extends the small molecules fluorescence emission wavelength to the near-infrared region (NIR) for in vivo imaging. Hence, we firstly reported a novel fluorogenic scaffold QOH that could extend its fluorescence wavelength from (λem = 555 nm) to NIR (λem = 720 nm) with a large Stokes shift (120 nm) by forming its N-quaternization product (QMOH). In addition, the effect of the introduction of substituent at different modification sites and the properties of substituent on the optical properties of QOH were fully discussed by theoretical calculation. To investigate the possibility of QOH as probe construction, the compound Q-SH and QM-R were synthesized and applied to detect H2S and H2O2 in vitro and in vivo, respectively. This study provided an efficient strategy to extend fluorescence emission to NIR and design fluorescence probes with large ratio variation for accurately imaging biomarkers in biological system.

Abstract
As the main biomarkers of most diseases, enzymes play fundamental but extremely critical roles in biosystems. High-resolution studies of enzymes using activatable in situ fluorescence imaging may help to better elucidate their dynamics in living systems. Currently, most activatable probes can realize changeable imaging of enzymes but inevitably tend to diffuse away from the original active site of the enzyme and even translocate out of cells, seriously impairing in situ high-resolution observation of the enzymes. In situ fluorescence imaging of enzymes can be realized by labelling probes or antibodies with always-on signals that fail to enable activatable imaging of enzymes. Thus, fluorescent probes with both "activatable" and "in situ" properties will enable high-resolution studies of enzymes in living systems. In this tutorial review, we summarize the existing methods ranging from design strategies to bioimaging applications that could be used to develop activatable fluorescent probes for in situ imaging of enzymes. It is expected that this tutorial review will promote the new methods generated to design such probes for better deciphering enzymes in complex biosystems and further extend the application of these methods to other fields of enzymes.

Abstract
Oxidoreductases are diverse class of enzymes engaged in modulating the redox homeostasis and cellular signaling cascades. Abnormal expression of oxidoreductases including thioredoxin reductase, azoreductase, cytochrome oxidoreductase, tyrosinase and monoamine oxidase leads to the initiation of numerous disorders. Thus, enzymes are the promising biomarkers of the diseased cells and their accurate detection has utmost significance for clinical diagnosis. The detection method must be extremely selective, sensitive easy to use, long self-life, mass manufacturable and disposable. Fluorescence assay approach has been developed potential substitute to conventional techniques used in enzyme's quantification. The fluorescent probes possess excellent stability, high spatiotemporal ratio and reproducibility represent applications in real sample analysis. Therefore, the enzymatic transformations have been monitored by small activatable organic fluorescent probes. These probes are generally integrated with enzyme's substrate/inhibitors to improve their binding affinity toward the enzyme's catalytic site. As the recognition unit bio catalyzed, the signaling unit produces the readout signals and provides novel insights to understand the biochemical reactions for diagnosis and development of point of care devices. Several structural modifications are required in fluorogenic scaffolds to tune the selectivity for a particular enzyme. Hence, the fluorescent probes with their structural features and enzymatic reaction mechanism of oxidoreductase are the key points discussed in this review. The basic strategies to detect each enzyme are discussed. The selectivity, sensitivity and real-time applications are critically compared. The kinetic parameters and futuristic opportunities are present, which would be enormous benefits for chemists and biologists to understand the facts to design and develop unique fluorophore molecules for clinical applications.

Abstract
Drug discovery is a complex process in which many challenges need to be overcome, from the discovery of a drug candidate to ensuring the efficacy and safety of the candidate in humans. Modern analytical methods allow tens of thousands of drug candidates to be screened for their inhibition of specific enzymes or receptors. In recent years, fluorescent probes have been used for the detection and diagnosis of human pathogens as well as high-throughput screening. This review focuses on recent progress in organic small-molecule based enzyme-activated fluorescent probes for screening of inhibitors from natural products. The contents include the construction of fluorescent probes, working mechanism and the process of inhibitor screening. The progress suggests that fluorescent probes are a vital and rapidly growing technology for inhibitor screening of enzymes, in particular, inhibitor screening in situ.

Abstract
Enzymes are a class of important substances for life, and their abnormal levels are associated with many diseases. Thus, great progress has been made in the past decade in detecting and imaging enzymes in living biosystems, and in this respect fluorescent probes combined with confocal microscopy have attracted much attention because of their high sensitivity and unrivaled spatiotemporal resolution. Fluorescent probes are usually composed of three moieties: a signal or fluorophore moiety, a recognition or labeling moiety, and an appropriate linker to connect the two aforementioned moieties. At present, however, research and reviews on enzymatic probes mostly focus on fluorophores and/or linkers, whereas those on the recognition moiety are relatively few. Moreover, current enzymatic probes with some recognition moieties have drawbacks such as poor selectivity, high background fluorescence, or/and low sensitivity and are unsatisfactory for practical applications. Thus, developing new recognition moieties with higher specificity or/and sensitivity to the enzyme of interest is very desirable but still challenging. In this Account, we introduce the recognition moieties of fluorescent probes for several enzymes, including tyrosinase, monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), nitroreductase (NTR), and aminopeptidases. Highlights are given on how new specific recognition moieties of tyrosinase and MAO-A were designed to eliminate the interference by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MAO-B, respectively. Here we present four recent examples in which designed fluorescent probes are employed to image enzymes in living biosystems. The first example shows that 3-hydroxyphenyl can serve as a new and more specific recognition moiety than the traditional 4-hydroxyphenyl group for tyrosinase, enabling the development of a highly selective fluorescent probe for imaging of tyrosinase without interference by ROS. The second presents a general design strategy for fluorescent probes specific for an enzyme, which involves combining the characteristic structure of an inhibitor of the target enzyme along with its traditional reactive group as a new recognition moiety, and successfully demonstrates it by selective detection of MAO-A in the presence of its isomeric MAO-B. The third mainly illustrates that 5-nitrothiophen-2-yl alcohol with a stronger electron-donating S atom is a better fluorescence quenching and recognition moiety than 5-nitrofuran-2-yl alcohol for NTR, leading to the development of a highly sensitive method for NTR assay. Lastly, on the basis of known observations, we show that besides the specific interaction with the target, another function of some recognition moieties may be responsible for tuning the fluorescence signal, which is exemplified by the linking of several aminopeptidases' recognition moieties to the free hydroxyl or amino group of different fluorophores. It is our wish that this Account will promote the appearance of more specific recognition moieties and fluorescent probes with excellent properties and that new biofunctions of the enzymes will be uncovered.

Abstract
Three potential chromogenic enzymatic probes, each possessing a self-immolative spacer unit, were synthesised for the purpose of detecting l-alanylaminopeptidase activity in microorganisms. An Alizarin-based probe was the most effective, allowing several species to generate strongly coloured colonies in the presence of metal ions.

Abstract
A cutting-edge strategy for fluorogenic sensing of proteases (leucine aminopeptidase for the proof of concept) and based on the “covalent-assembly” principle is reported. Non-fluorescent mixed bis-aryl ethers are readily converted into a fluorescent pyronin through a domino process triggered by the peptide bond cleavage event caused by the targeted enzyme.

Abstract
The versatility of the fluorescent probes inspires us to design fluorescently traceable prodrugs, which enables tracking the drug delivery kinetics in living cells. Herein, we constructed a self-indicating nanoprodrug with two fluorescent moieties, an aggregation-induced emission molecule (tetraphenylethylene, TPE) and a luminant anticancer drug (doxorubicin, DOX), with a pH-responsive linker between them. Except when a low pH environment is encountered, an energy-transfer relay (ETR) occurs and inactivates the fluorescence of both, showing a dark background. Otherwise, the ETR would be interrupted and evoke a dual-color fluorogenic process, giving distinct fluorogenic read out. By observing the dual-color fluorogenic scenario, we captured the kinetics of the drug release process in living cells. Because the separated TPE and DOX are both fluorescent but have a distinct spectrum, by examining the spatiotemporal pattern of TPE and DOX, we were able to precisely disclose the drug-releasing site, the releasing time, the destinations of the carriers, and the executing site of the drugs at subcellular level. Furthermore, different intracellular drug release kinetics between free doxorubicin and its nanoformulations were also observed in a real-time manner.
