Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is a sulfur-containing amino acid that plays an important role in living systems. The most common way to supplement the body with exogenous Cys is through the consumption of Cys-rich foods. Therefore, it is important to detect and analyze Cys in living systems and food samples. However, most of the Cys fluorescent probes developed so far are limited to the detection of the cellular environment only, and very few probes can take into account the detection of Cys in plant roots and food samples. In this paper, a novel fluorescent probe LN-NCS targeting the detection of Cys in lysosomes was designed and synthesized by modifying the naphthalimide fluorophore. The probe LN-NCS has a large Stokes shift (140 nm), low cytotoxicity, low detection limit (16.3 nM), and high selectivity, and probe LN-NCS reacts with Cys to produce the compound LN-NH2 with good fluorescence quantum yield (Ф = 0.81). Probe LN-NCS can be used to detect Cys in cells, zebrafish, plant roots, food samples, and environmental water samples. In addition, by modeling cellular inflammation, we have demonstrated that probe LN-NCS can detect changes in Cys concentration induced by cellular inflammation, providing a potential tool to better study the cellular inflammatory environment.

Abstract
A novel time-resolved fluorescence nanoprobe (PBMO, PLNR-BSA-Mn2+-OPD) is fabricated for the label-free determination of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The ZnGeO:Mn persistent luminescence nanorod (PLNR) and Mn(II) are, respectively, exploited as the signal molecule and quencher to construct the PBMO nanopobe using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the surface-modified shell and o-phenylenediamine (OPD) as the reducing agent. In the presence of H2O2, the persistent luminescence of PBMO at 530 nm is enhanced remarkably within 30 s due to the oxidation of Mn(II). H2O2 can react with thiocholine (TCh), which is produced through the enzymatic degradation of acetylcholine (ATCh) by AChE. The PBMO nanoprobe is successfully applied to the determination of AChE in the linear range of 0.08-10 U L-1, with a detection limit of 0.03 U L-1 (3σ/s). The practicability of this PBMO nanoprobe is confirmed by accurately monitoring AChE contents in human serum samples, giving rise to satisfactory spiking recoveries of 96.2-103.6%.

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
A fluorescent sensor based on coumarin-maleimide conjugate was developed for efficient discrimination of Cys from Hcy and GSH in both organic and aqueous solution. Addition of Cys to the non-fluorescent sensor solution in DMF induced bright blue fluorescence and enhanced the fluorescence intensity by 320-fold while other amino acids and biothiols (Gly, Hcy, GSH, Glu, Val, Tyr, Arg, Trp, Lys, His, Leu, Phe, Asp and Met) did not bring about remarked change. The sensor responds to Cys extremely rapidly. If Cys was added to the sensor solution, the fluorescence intensity increased by 170-fold immediately and attained the maximum value in 5 min. A linear relationship was observed between Cys concentration within 2-20 μM and the fluorescence intensity of the sensor solution. The detection limit of the sensor toward Cys is as low as 4.7 nM. The sensor is also effective for specific detection of Cys in aqueous (DMF/H2O = 9:1, v/v) solution. Practical application of the sensor to drug analysis and bioimaging of living Hela cells has been verified. Possible sensing mechanism of the sensor toward Cys has been proposed.

Abstract
Three 5H-benzo[a]phenoxazin-5-one-based (benzoresorufin and nile-red) Cysteine (Cys) detection probes have been comparatively designed and synthesized in this paper. The optical experiments exhibit probe 1b with a crotonoyl group has no response toward Cys; while probes 1a and 1c have the same reaction site (acryloyl group), their optical responses to Cys are quite different. The benzoresorufin-based-probe 1a shows a turn-on fluorescence response (118-fold) to Cys at 631 nm and affords a very low detection limit (DL = 19.8 nM). Compared with probe 1a, the nile-red-based probe 1c displays gradually diminishing fluorescence intensity with increased Cys concentration at 665 nm. And the notable different fluorescence response mechanisms of probes 1a and 1c toward Cys can be interpreted by HRMS and time-dependent density functional theorety (TDDFT) calculations. Furthermore, both of the two probes indicate high sensitivity and selectivity toward Cys over other similar structured amino acids including homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). Further cellular applications of the two probes have been successfully performed in HeLa cells.

Abstract
Coumarins are a very large family of compounds containing the unique 2H-chromen-2-one motif, as it is known according to IUPAC nomenclature. Coumarin derivatives are widely found in nature, especially in plants and are constituents of several essential oils. Up to now, thousands of coumarin derivatives have been isolated from nature or produced by chemists. More recently, the coumarin platform has been widely adopted in the design of small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors because of its excellent biocompatibility, strong and stable fluorescence emission, and good structural flexibility. This scaffold has found wide applications in the development of fluorescent chemosensors in the fields of molecular recognition, molecular imaging, bioorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, as well as in the biology and medical science communities. This review focuses on the important progress of coumarin-based small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors during the period of 2012-2018. This comprehensive and critical review may facilitate the development of more powerful fluorescent chemosensors for broad and exciting applications in the future.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes are widely employed in biological detection because of their lower damage to biological samples, low background interference, and high signal-to-noise ratio. Herein, a highly water-soluble NIR probe (NIRHA) based on a hemicyanine skeleton and bearing an acrylate moiety was synthesized. The probe showed high selectivity toward cysteine (Cys) over homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). The probe also had low cytotoxicity and was successfully applied in HeLa cells and mouse experiments. Results of bioimaging experiments indicated that the probe was effective for visualizing endogenous Cys in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Two probes, structurally symmetric CBFB and asymmetric CBFM, constructed by a D-A-D (donor-acceptor-donor) type curcuminoid as the fluorophore and the DNBS (2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl) group as the biothiol recognition site were designed and synthesized here. The DNBS group can quench the emission of the fluorophore by the PET (photoinduced electron transfer) process, and in the presence of biothiols, the emission of the probe was switched on as a result of the cleavage of the quencher by a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Experimental analyses and theoretical calculations revealed that two recognition moieties in the molecule can quench the fluorescence more efficiently, therefore, CBFB showed a much higher SNR (signal to noise ratio) than CBFM in biothiol detection with an emission maximum at 610 nm. This "low background" and "turn-on" fluorescent probe, CBFB, was successfully utilized to map endogenous biothiols in living cells.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is involved in cellular growth and Cys deficiency is related with many diseases. So far, a number of fluorescent probes have been constructed for the detection of Cys successfully. However, the probes are difficult to discriminate Cys from Hcy and the emission wavelength of the probes is in ultraviolet or visible range. Herein, a NIR fluorescent probe named NIR-BODIPY-Ac is synthesized and used to detect Cys. The emission wavelength of the probe is at 708 nm that belongs to near-infrared (NIR) region by attaching indolium to BODIPY core, which is suitable for bioimaging in vivo. Moreover, the probe exhibits high fluorescence quantum yield (Φ = 0.51) after the addition of Cys and high sensitivity toward Cys with 81-fold fluorescence enhancement. The linear range of the probe for Cys covers from 0.2 to 30 μM with a detection limit of 0.05 μM. Furthermore, the probe shows high selectivity towards Cys owing to the fact that there is more fast reaction rate between the probe and Cys than that of Hcy. In particular, the NIR fluorescent probe is applied for the detection of exogenous and endogenous Cys in biological samples such as cell, tissue and mouse with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) are two of important biological thiols and function as important roles in several biological processes. The development of Cys and Hcy probes will help to explore the functions of biothiols in biological systems. In this work, a new coumarin-based probe AC, containing an acryloyl moiety, was developed for Cys and Hcy detection in cells. Cys and Hcy undergo a nucleophilic addition and subsequent cyclization reaction to remove to the acryloyl group and yield a fluorescent product, 7-hydroxylcomuarin. The probe AC showed good selectivity for cysteine and homocysteine over glutathione and other amino acids and had low detection limits of 65nM for Cys and 79nM for Hcy, respectively. Additionally, confocal imaging experiments demonstrated that the probe AC can be applied to visualize Cys and Hcy in living cells.

Abstract
Aberrant levels of cysteine (Cys) in living cells are closely related to some diseases; thus in situ visualization of intracellular Cys is very helpful for the investigation of physiological and pathological processes. Herein, we report a dual-channel responsive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe for multicolour imaging of Cys in living cells. The probe was constructed with a NIR BODIPY attached to 7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD) via an ether bond. Upon substitution of the ether with the nucleophilic thiolate of Cys, a NIR BODIPY fluorophore was released to produce a significant fluorescence-enhanced signal at 735 nm. Moreover, Cys induced an intramolecular rearrangement reaction on the electrophilic site of NBD, resulting in another emission band at 540 nm. This probe exhibited some favorable properties including a dual-channel response, high fluorescence brightness, good photostability, fast response, low detection limit (22 nM) and low cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the probe was successfully applied for multicolour imaging of Cys in living cells.

Abstract
Small-molecule thiols, such as cysteine (CYS) and glutathione (GSH), are essential for maintaining the cellular redox environment and play important roles in regulating various cellular physiological functions. A fluorescence probe (compound 1-Cu2+) for thiols based on coumarin carbohydrazide dinuclear copper complex was developed. Compound 1 was synthesized from the reaction of 7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide with 4-tert-butyl-2,6- diformylphenol. Accordingly, the copper complex (compound 1-Cu2+) was prepared by mixing compound 1 with 2 equivalents copper ions. Compound 1 had strong fluorescence while compound 1-Cu2+ hardly possessed fluorescence owing to the quenching nature of paramagnetism Cu2+ to the fluorescence molecule excited state. However, the fluorescence intensity of compound 1-Cu2+ was increased dramatically after the addition of thiol-containing amino acids, but not the other non-sulfhydryl amino acids. UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra indicated that compound 1-Cu2+ had good selectivity and sensitivity for thiols such as glutathione in CH3CN:H2O (3:2, v/v) PBS solution. The fluorescence imaging experiments implied that compound 1-Cu2+ has potential application in thiol-containing amino acids detection in living cells.

Abstract
A new type of flavone-based fluorescent probe (DMAF) capable of cysteine (Cys)/homocysteine (Hcy) sensing with high selectivity over other amino acids was developed. Such type of probe undergoes Cys/Hcy-mediated cyclization reaction with the involvement of its aldehyde group, which suppresses of the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process of the probe molecule and consequently leads to the enhancement of fluorescence emission upon excitation using visible light. The formation of product of the Cys/Hcy-mediated cyclization reaction was confirmed and the preliminary fluorescence imaging experiments revealed the biocompatibility of the as-prepared probe and validated its practicability for intracellular Cys/Hcy sensing.
