Abstract
Thiols play vital and irreplaceable roles in the biological system. Abnormality of thiol levels has been linked with various diseases and biological disorders. Thiols are known to distribute unevenly and change dynamically in the biological system. Methods that can determine thiols' concentration and distribution in live cells are in high demand. In the last two decades, fluorescent probes have emerged as a powerful tool for achieving that goal for the simplicity, high sensitivity, and capability of visualizing the analytes in live cells in a non-invasive way. They also enable the determination of intracellular distribution and dynamitic movement of thiols in the intact native environments. This review focuses on some of the major strategies/mechanisms being used for detecting GSH, Cys/Hcy, and other thiols in live cells via fluorescent probes, and how they are applied at the cellular and subcellular levels. The sensing mechanisms (for GSH and Cys/Hcy) and bio-applications of the probes are illustrated followed by a summary of probes for selectively detecting cellular and subcellular thiols.

Abstract
Intracellular GSH is the most abundant non-protein biothiol and acts as a central antioxidant to defend against aging toxins and radicals. Meanwhile abnormal level of intracellular GSH concentration is directly related to some diseases. In this case, detecting intracellular GSH rapidly and sensitively is of great significance. We synthesize a simple fluorescent probe (named GP) which can discriminate GSH from Cys (cysteine) or Hcy (homocysteine) and presents a 50-fold fluorescence increasing. The response time of GP to GSH was only 5 min and the product GO (the product of GP after reacting with GSH) after reacting with GSH possesses a larger Stokes shift for 135 nm than that in reported work. Probe GP can detect intracellular effectively and shows obvious yellow fluorescence. Briefly, probe GP can detect intracellular GSH rapidly and effectively both in vitro and in living cells.

Abstract
Biothiols, a vital branch of reactive sulfur species (RSS) family, are indispensable in human physiology. However, the exact functional roles of each biothiol involved in complicated physiological activities are still not fully clarified. A critical barrier is a lack of robust molecular tools which can simultaneously visualize different biothiols with distinct emission signals. Herein, the first lysosome-targetable fluorescent probe, Lyso-RC, which could respond to Cys/Hcy, GSH, and H2S with different sets of signal patterns was developed. Lyso-RC responds to Cys/Hcy, GSH, and H2S with the fluorescence signal patterns of blue-red, green-red, and red, respectively. Significantly, Lyso-RC is capable of discriminating lysosomal Cys/Hcy, GSH, and H2S in HeLa cells.
