Abstract
Surgery is one of the most important paradigms for tumor therapy, while fluorescence imaging (FI) offers real-time intraoperative guidance, greatly boosting treatment prognosis. The imaging fidelity heavily relies on not only imaging facilities but also probes for imaging-guided surgery (IGS). So far, a great number of IGS probes with emission in visible (400-700 nm) and near-infrared (NIR 700-1700 nm) windows have been developed for pinpointing disease margins intraoperatively. Herein, the state-of-the-art fluorescent probes for IGS are timely updated, with a special focus on the fluorescent probes under clinical examination. For a better demonstration of the superiority of NIR FI over visible FI, both imaging modalities are critically compared regarding signal-to-background ratio, penetration depth, resolution, tissue autofluorescence, photostability, and biocompatibility. Various types of fluorescence IGS have been summarized to demonstrate its importance in the medical field. Furthermore, the most recent progress of fluorescent probes in NIR-I and NIR-II windows is summarized. Finally, an outlook on multimodal imaging, FI beyond NIR-II, efficient tumor targeting, automated IGS, the use of AI and machine learning for designing fluorescent probes, and the fluorescence-guided da Vinci surgical system is given. We hope this review will stimulate interest among researchers in different areas and expedite the translation of fluorescent probes from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Activatable fluorescent and chemiluminescent dyes with near-infrared emission have indispensable roles in the fields of bioimaging, molecular prodrugs, and phototheranostic agents. As one of the most popular fluorophore scaffolds, the dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran scaffold has been applied to fabricate a large number of versatile activatable optical dyes for analytes detection and diseases diagnosis and treatment by virtue of its high photostability, large Stokes shift, considerable two-photon absorption cross-section, and structural modifiability. This review discusses the molecular design strategies, recognition mechanisms, and both in vitro and in vivo bio-applications (especially for diagnosis and therapy of tumors) of activatable dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran dyes. The final section describes the current shortcomings and future development prospects of this topic.

Abstract
In this study, a novel "on-off-on" fluorescent probe was suggested for sensitive and selective assay of glutathione (GSH). The as-fabricated nanoswitch employs a Cu2+-sulfur quantum dot system (SQ-dots/Cu2+). The surface reactivity and water solubility of SQ-dots were improved through capping with egg white and bovine serum albumin proteins. The surface functional groups on the surface of double protein-protected SQ-dots enhanced the interaction with Cu2+ ions, resulting in the aggregation induced quenching of SQ-dots. Addition of GSH, a strong Cu2+ ion chelator, disassembles the large aggregates into relatively smaller ones, restoring the fluorescence emission of SQ-dots. Under optimized conditions, the fluorescence intensity was increased by increasing GSH amounts within the range of 0.13-550 μM with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.04 μM. The SQ-dots/Cu2+ system was successfully applied for the detection of GSH in different matrices such as dietary supplements, human serum, and vegetable extract samples. The as-fabricated probe holds great potential for the synthesis of other functionalized SQ-dots for (bio) sensing.

Abstract
In this work, a new colorimetric method for the determination of Glutathione (GSH) on the basis of stable free radical 2,2,6,6 - tetramethylpiperidine - 1 - oxyl (TEMPO) oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzizine (TMB) via copper(II) acetylacetonate (Cu(acac)2) catalysis was proposed. TEMPO was catalyzed by Cu(acac)2 to produce TEMPO+, then TEMPO+ oxidized TMB to produce oxidized TMB (ox - TMB). The resulting ox - TMB showed blue and possessed a distinct absorption peak about 650 nm. Whereas, GSH prohibited the generation of ox - TMB through inhibiting TMB oxidation. As compared to the case that GSH was absent, significantly enhanced absorption was determined, and was proportional to GSH amount. On this basis, a qualitative and quantitative detection method of GSH with the naked eye and the microplate reader was achieved. The developed TEMPO - based method achieved GSH biosensing with improved sensitivity in a good specificity - manner. The limit of detection (LOD) was 90 μM via naked eye, and the microplate reader was 4.71 μM. And the stable free radical TEMPO possessed higher stability and lower toxicity than traditional oxidant of H2O2. Moreover, this TEMPO - based method achieved good results in the detection of GSH in human serums.

Abstract
Biothiols (cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione) are an important class of compounds with a free thiol group. These biothiols plays an important role in several metabolic processes in living bodies when present in optimum concentration. Researchers have developed several probes for the detection and quantification of biothiols that can absorb in UV, visible, and near-infrared (NIR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Among them, NIR organic probes have attracted significant attention due to their application in in vivo and in vitro imaging. In this review, we have summarized probes for these biothiols, which could work in the NIR region, and discussed their sensing mechanism and potential applications. Along with focusing on the pros and cons of the reported probes we have classified them according to the fluorophore used and summarized their photophysical and sensing properties (emission, response time, limit of detection).

Abstract
The majority of diseases’ biomarkers are enzymes, and the regulation of enzymes is fundamental but crucial. Biological system disorders and diseases can result from abnormal enzymatic activity. Given the biological significance of enzymes, researchers have devised a plethora of tools to map the activity of particular enzymes in order to gain insight regarding their function and distribution. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging studies on enzymes may help to better understand their roles in living systems due to their natural imaging advantages. We review the NIR fluorescent probe design strategies that have been attempted by researchers to develop NIR fluorescent sensors of enzymes, and these works have provided deep and intuitive insights into the study of enzymes in biological systems. The recent enzyme-activated NIR fluorescent probes and their applications in imaging are summarized, and the prospects and challenges of developing enzyme-activated NIR fluorescent probes are discussed.

Abstract
In this work, ferrous disulfide nanoparticles (FeS2NPs) with oxidase properties were synthesized, and a FeS2NPs-Luminol-MnO2 nanosheets (MnO2NSs) chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) system was successfully established. Because of reaction with MnO2NSs, glutathione (GSH) can inhibit CRET between Luminol and MnO2NSs and recover the luminescence intensity of FeS2NPs-Luminol. Consequently, we developed a GSH sensor based on this chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) system. Under optimal conditions, the FeS2NPs-Luminol-MnO2NSs sensing system showed very sensitive response to GSH in the range of 1 μM-500 μM. The limit of detection of GSH reached as low as 0.15 μM. Finally, the sensor was successfully used for the detection of GSH in serum.

Abstract
Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) is a fundamental mechanism that enables the development of numerous fluorophores and probes for bioimaging and sensing. However, the electron-withdrawing targets (EWTs)-induced fluorescence quenching is a long-standing and unsolved issue in ICT fluorophores, and significantly limits the widespread applicability. Here we report a simple and generalizable structural-modification for completely overturning the intramolecular rotation driving energy, and thus fully reversing the ICT fluorophores' quenching mode into light-up mode. Specifically, the insertion of an indazole unit into ICT scaffold can fully amplify the intramolecular rotation in donor-indazole-π-acceptor fluorophores (fluorescence OFF), whereas efficiently suppressing the rotation in their EWT-substituted system (fluorescence ON). This molecular strategy is generalizable, yielding a palette of chromophores with fluorescence umpolung that spans visible and near-infrared range. This strategy expands the bio-analytical toolboxes and allows exploiting ICT fluorophores for light-up sensing of EWTs including N-acetyltransferases and nerve agents.

Abstract
Visualizing and tracking lysosomal dynamic changes is crucially important in the fields of physiology and pathology. Most currently used pH-dependent small-molecule lysotrackers and sensors usually fail to visualize and track the changes due to (1) their leakage from lysosomes when the lysosomal pH increases and (2) their low photostability. Therefore, it is of significant interest to develop lysosomal probes for visualizing and tracking lysosomal dynamics independent of pH fluctuations and with high photostability. Herein, we found that the popular dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran (DCM) derivative DCM-NH2 can selectively target and label lysosomes with bright red fluorescence regardless of pH changes. The fluorescence enhancement in lysosomes has probably resulted from their microenvironment of polarity and viscosity. Compared with the commonly used commercial lysosomal molecular probes (LysoTracker Deep Red (LTDR) and LysoTracker Red DND-99), DCM-NH2 was demonstrated to exhibit a much stronger tolerance in lysosomes against various treatments and microenvironmental changes, and lysosomal membrane permeability could not cause DCM-NH2 to lose imaging of their targets as well. Moreover, DCM-NH2 exhibited a superior anti-photobleaching ability and low (photo-) cytotoxicity, which, along with pH-insensitivity, ensured its capability of long-term visualizing and tracking lysosomal dynamics. Lysosomal dynamic events such as the kiss-and-run process, fusion-fission, and mitophagy were successfully recorded with DCM-NH2. Our study thus confirms that DCM-NH2 is highly competitive for lysosomal imaging by overcoming the limitations of the commercial LysoTrackers and highlights the unexplored application of DCM-NH2 in bioimaging.

Abstract
Found in various natural food products, many in vitro evidence indicated that resveratrol (RES) has been linked to neuroprotective and cardioprotective effects and prevent cancer development. However, human clinical trials have been conducted with varying results, making the usage of RES controversial. In this paper, we demonstrated that the drug RES could be conjugated with the high levels of endogenous GS• in cancer cells. 5,5-Dimethyl-1-Pyrroline-N-Oxide (DMPO) was employed to capture the GS•. The molecular mechanism of the reaction between RES and GS• was further studied by UV-Vis spectrometry, mass spectrometry and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Besides, the formation of the adduct GS-RES in cancer cell was obtained when RES was added during incubation. Further study indicated that over 77.6% of the RES was consumed in cancer cells. This study suggested that endogenous GS• may be one of the important factors to cause the depletion of anti-tumour drugs during chemotherapy, which should be paid special attention in clinical therapeutics and drug development.

Abstract
Near-Infrared "turn on" type fluorescent probes are attractive and promising in the fields of chemical sensing and bioimaging. Here, a new dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran derivative (DCM-Si) NIR fluorescent probe was designed and synthesized for specific lighting up F- in living cells and bodies. SiO bond was used as F- trigger, and the release of fluorophore (DCM-NH2) occurred after substituent reaction and subsequent 1,6-elimination. This NIR probe displayed high sensitivity and selectivity for the sensing of F-, and the detection limit was calculated to be as low as 157 nM. Moreover, the "off-on" fluorescent signal changes can be realized by adding F- in living cells and zebrafish embryos.

Abstract
A two-photon fluorescent covalent organic framework nanopore is designed for the first time for H2S interference-resistant bioimaging.
The complex environment of living organisms significantly challenges the selectivity of classic small-molecule fluorescent probes for bioimaging. Due to their predesigned topological structure and engineered internal pore surface, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have the ability to filter out coexisting interference components and help to achieve accurate biosensing. Herein, we propose an effective interference-resistant strategy by creating a COF-based hybrid probe that combines the respective advantages of COFs and small-molecule probes. As a proof of concept, a two-photon fluorescent COF nanoprobe, namely TpASH-NPHS, is developed for targeting hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a model analyte. TpASH-NPHS exhibits limited cytotoxicity, excellent photostability and long-term bioimaging capability. More importantly, compared with the small-molecule probe, TpASH-NPHS achieves accurate detection without the interference from intracellular enzymes. This allows us to monitor the levels of endogenous H2S in a mouse model of cirrhosis.

Abstract
A near-infrared fluorescent probe has been developed for real-time simultaneous visualization of intracellular hypoxia and the subsequent induced mitophagy.
Mitophagy induced by hypoxia plays an important role in regulating cellular homeostasis via the removal of dysfunctional mitochondria in the lysosomal degradation pathway, which results in physiological changes in the mitochondria, such as the pH, polarity and viscosity. However, the lack of an effective method for imaging of both the hypoxic microenvironment and the resulting variable mitochondria limits the visualization of hypoxia-induced mitophagy. Based on the specific mitochondrial pH changes during the hypoxia-induced mitophagy process, we have reported a near-infrared fluorescent probe (NIR-HMA) for real-time simultaneous visualization of the hypoxic microenvironment and the subsequent mitophagy process in live cells. NIR-HMA selectively accumulated in the hypoxic mitochondria in the NIR-MAO form, emitting at 710 nm, and then transformed into NIR-MAOH, emitting at 675 nm, in the acidified mitochondria-containing autolysosomes. Importantly, by smartly tethering the hypoxia-responsive group to the hydroxyl group of the NIR-fluorochrome, which shows ratiometric pH changes, NIR-HMA can differentiate between different levels of the hypoxic microenvironment and mitophagy. Furthermore, using NIR-HMA, we could track the complete mitophagy process from the mitochondria to the autolysosomes and visualize mitophagy caused only by hypoxia both in cancer cells and normal cells. Finally, NIR-HMA was applied to investigate the role that mitophagy plays in the hypoxic microenvironment via the cycling hypoxia-reoxygenation model. We observed a decreased fluorescence ratio after reoxygenation and a further increased mitophagy level after hypoxia was induced again, suggesting that mitophagy might be a self-protective process that allows cells to adapt to hypoxia. Our work may provide an attractive way for real-time visualization of relevant physiological processes in hypoxic microenvironments.

Abstract
Cyanine has been widely utilized as a near infrared (NIR) fluorophore for detection of glutathione (GSH). However, the excitation of most of the reported cyanine-based probes was less than 800 nm, which inevitably induce biological background absorption and lower the sensitivity, limiting their use for detection of GSH in blood samples. To address this issue, here, a heptamethine cyanine probe (DNIR), with a NIR excitation wavelength at 804 nm and a NIR emission wavelength at 832 nm, is employed for the detection of GSH and its oxidized form (GSSG) in blood. The probe displays excellent selectivity for GSH over GSSG and other amino acids, and rapid response to GSH, in particular a good property for indirect detection of GSSG in the presence of enzyme glutathione reductase and the reducing agent nicotinamideadenine dinucleotide phosphate, without further separation prior to fluorescent measurement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to explore NIR fluorescent approach for the simultaneous assay of GSH and GSSG in blood. As such, we expect that our fluorescence sensors with both NIR excitation and NIR emission make this strategy suitable for the application in complex physiological systems.

Abstract
Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), one of the important proteolytic enzymes, is intertwined with the progress of many pathological disorders as a well-defined biomarker. To explore fluorescent aminopeptidase probe for quantitative detection of LAP distribution and dynamic changes, herein we report a LAP-targeting near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (DCM-Leu) for ratiometric quantitative trapping of LAP activity in different kinds of living cells. DCM-Leu is composed of a NIR-emitting fluorophore (DCM) as a reporter and l-leucine as a triggered moiety, which are linked together by an amide bond specific for LAP cleavage. High contrast on the ratiometric NIR fluorescence signal can be achieved in response to LAP activity, thus enabling quantification of endogenous LAP with "build-in calibration" as well as minimal background interference. Its ratiometric NIR signal can be blocked in a dose-dependent manner by bestatin, an LAP inhibitor, indicating that the alteration of endogenous LAP activity results in these obviously fluorescent signal responses. It is worth noting that DCM-Leu features striking characteristics such as a large Stokes shift (∼205 nm), superior selectivity, and strong photostability responding to LAP. Impressively, not only did we successfully exemplify DCM-Leu in situ ratiometric trapping and quantification of endogenous LAP activity in various types of living cells, but also, with the aid of three-dimensional confocal imaging, the intracellular LAP distribution is clearly observed from different perspectives for the first time, owing to the high signal-to-noise of ratiometric NIR fluorescent response. Collectively, these results demonstrate preclinical potential value of DCM-Leu serving as a useful NIR fluorescent probe for early detection of LAP-associated disease and screening inhibitor.

Abstract
Real-time tracking for where (W), when (W), and how (H) prodrugs are delivered and activated in vivo is a great challenge for prodrug development. Disulfide linkage-based prodrugs as well as their delivery systems have been studied extensively, but the WWH question in spatial and temporal (spatiotemporal) precision remains unanswered. Herein, we present a novel prodrug of camptothecin (CPT) linked to a near-infrared (NIR) cyanine dye via a disulfide linkage (Cy-S-CPT). The cleavage of the disulfide bond in Cy-S-CPT by endogenous glutathione (GSH) can activate the anti-cancer drug CPT and induce a remarkable fluorescence shift from 825 to 650 nm, thereby providing dual fluorescent channels to real-time track the prodrug biodistribution and activation in vivo. Impressively, the dual-channel NIR fluorescence bioimaging exhibits the pervasive drug distribution, i.e., the biodistribution of the intact prodrug was traced at the 825 nm-NIR fluorescence channel, whereas the activated drug was tracked at the 650 nm red fluorescence channel. In this way, we can overcome the blind spot in the metabolism kinetics of prodrugs in a certain organ or tissue. As demonstrated, the prodrug prompts activation in all the organs, particularly in the liver after an intravenous injection, and achieves predominant accumulation and activation in tumors at 24 h post injection. Cy-S-CPT loaded in PEG-PLA nanoparticles display significantly improved therapeutic efficacy and low side effects with respect to the clinical used drug CPT-11. As a consequence, the NIR spatiotemporal bioimaging in vivo with dual fluorescence channels allows the prodrug release profile to be extracted precisely, particularly in visualizing drug-released information from complex biological systems such as mice, thereby providing a unique opportunity to take insight into the relationship between theranosis and pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Tailoring the wavelength to NIR emission was realized by replacing the strong electron-withdrawing groups or extending the π-conjugated system based on the DCM chromophore, along with beneficial characteristics such as bright NIR fluorescence, large Stokes shift and low photo-bleaching.
