[PMID: 38679638 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05293-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
When Cu(II) reacts with ascorbic acid (AA) to form Cu(I), Cu(I) can combine with eosin Y (EY) to form ionic associations, resulting in significant fluorescence quenching of the EY. Based on the turn-off of fluorescence in the chemosensor EY, a green reaction is proposed herein for the detection of Cu(II). The novel detection method for Cu(II) demonstrates simplicity, high sensitivity, and excellent selectivity, rendering it suitable for analyzing environmental samples. A static fluorescence quenching mechanism is validated through the Stern-Volmer relationship, and the thermodynamic parameters of the reaction are explored using a van 't Hoff plot. The reaction mechanism is investigated via fluorescence spectra, absorption spectra, and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. The probe's green nature is confirmed by applying four green analytical chemistry metrics.

Abstract
Developing efficient strategies for specific detection of cysteine (Cys) is of great importance for identifying complicated biological roles in physiological and pathological processes. Herein, an ultrasensitive red-emission fluorescent probe (termed 1) is constructed for specific detection and biological visualization of Cys. The linked-anthocyanin fluorophore modified with a twisted N, N-diethylamino moiety shows improved red-shifted emission (642 nm) and absolute quantum yield (0.224 in dimethyl sulfoxide), as well as minimal fluorescence background signal and good water solubility. Meanwhile, utilizing acryloyl chloride as recognition group endows the probe 1 with excellent sensitivity and selectivity towards Cys (limit of detection: 2.93 nM). More importantly, the in vitro and in vivo results confirm that the probe 1 has the capacity of fluorescence imaging of Cys and good biological safety, which holds great promise for bioanalysis and biosensing of Cys.

Abstract
Biothiols are the main antioxidants in regulating the redox balance and resisting oxidative stress in various biological processes, but the long detection time of current fluorescent probes hinders their rapid imaging in vitro and in vivo. To reveal the influx of biothiols, we rationally develop an ortho-activation approach to accelerate the reaction between the probe and biothiols, by introducing electron-withdrawing fluorine atom into the ortho-site of the phenolic hydroxyl group in the NIR probe to generate an ortho-inductive effect. The ortho-fluorine helps to increase the chemical reactivity of the molecular structure, resulting in a significantly shorter detection time (within 5 min) as compared to previous reports (> 20 min for acrylates-based probes in aqueous solution). Based on this approach, our near-infrared probe 2F-RBX can sensitively and efficiently detect endogenous biothiols in living HepG2 cells and in vivo. These data suggest that ortho-activation is a simple and flexible approach to construct sensitive fluorescent probes for rapid imaging of biothiols, and perhaps other molecules in future, under biological circumstances.

Abstract
Biothiols (GSH, Hcy, Cys) are important active sulfur substances in biological systems and widely participate in various physiological processes. The three kinds of biothiols have similar chemical structures, including the sulfhydryl group (-SH) and an amino group (-NH2), so distinguishing two or more of them simultaneously is an important challenge. Herein, a nopinone-based fluorescent probe 3-(3-((4-nitrobenzoxadiazole vinyl) nopinyl difluoride (NF-NBD) was designed to distinguish GSH and Hcy/Cys by generating different fluorescence channels with a single excitation wavelength. The nitrobenzodioxazole (NBD) was introduced in the fluorescent probe by ether bounds that can quench fluorescence and selectively discriminate GSH and Hcy/Cys. After reacting with GSH and Hcy/Cys, NF-NBD exhibited strong fluorescence (green for GSH and yellow for Hcy/Cys). NF-NBD displayed a wide linear range, low detection limit, a rapid response time, and superior selectivity for biothiols. Furthermore, NF-NBD was applied to image and distinguish different biothiols in living cells and zebrafish via different fluorescence signals at a single excitation wavelength.

Abstract
In this work, fluorescent properties and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes of 2,5-bis(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenol (BTP) and its derivatives (BOP and BSeP) with different heteroatom atoms (O and Se) have been systematically explored by the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods. The calculated absorption and fluorescence emission peaks agree well with the experimental values in acetonitrile. From the data of structures, topological parameters, reduced density gradient analyses, and infrared (IR) vibrational frequencies, the intramolecular hydrogen bonds (IHBs) of BTP and its derivatives are enhanced upon light-excitation. The potential energy curves show that the ESIPT process occurs in BTP and its derivatives after surmounting 0.167-0.306 eV energy barrier. The strength of intramolecular hydrogen bond, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, and red-shifted value of absorption and fluorescence emission wavelengths are dependent on the electron-withdrawing ability of heteroatom from O to S and Se. We believe that this work can pave the way for developing a new ESIPT-based fluorophore with better luminescent properties.

Abstract
Naturally occurring coumarin and sugar molecules have a diverse range of applications along with superior biocompatibility. Coumarin, a member of the benzopyrone family, exhibits a wide spectrum of medicinal properties, such as anti-coagulant, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral activities. The sugar moiety functions as the central scaffold for the synthesis of complex molecules, attributing to their excellent biocompatibility, well-defined stereochemistry, benign nature and outstanding aqueous solubility. When the coumarin moiety is conjugated with the sugar or nucleoside molecule, the resulting conjugates exhibit significant biological properties. Due to the remarkable growth of such bioconjugates in the field of science over the last decade, owing to their future prospect as a potential bioactive core, an update to this area is very much needed. The present review focusses on the synthesis, characterization and the various therapeutic applications of coumarin conjugates, i.e., sugar and nucleoside coumarin conjugates along with their perspective for future research.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), one of the biological thiols, which plays critical roles in biological system regulating the balance of redox homeostasis. In order to monitor the level of Cys in the living cells and organisms, a chromogenic fluorescence probe Rhocl-Cys based on Rhodamine chloride exhibiting the preferable performance of fluorescence turn-on response reacting with Cys was presented. Rhocl-Cys responded rapidly to Cys within 20 min, and had stable fluorescence intensity within pH 6.0-10.0, high selectivity towards Cys and the anti-inference capability with a low detection limit of 0.80 μM. In particular, Rhocl-Cys could qualitatively and quantitatively monitor the level of endogenous and exogenous Cys in living cells and successfully apply to zebrafish detecting Cys. Therefore, these results might further provide the basis exploring the role of Cys in biological system and facilitate as clinical diagnostic molecular tools.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores, especially dicyano-based fluorophores and xanthene-based hemicyanines, have beenput high expectation in bioimaging application due to their excellent optical properties. However, they suffer from inherentshortagessuch as short excitation/emission wavelength (less than 700 nm) or small Stokes shift (20-50 nm). Herein, we constructed a novel NIR dicyano-based fluorophore (DCO-HBTN). Toourknowledge, it is the first reported dicyano-based fluorophore of which the excitation/emission wavelength is more than 650 nm and Stokes shift is more than 100 nm. To demonstrate the feasibility of our efforts, we developed two NIR fluorescent probes (Probe-Cys and Probe-H2S) based on the fluorophore, Probe-Cys displayed good selective and highly sensitive (LOD = 0.28 μM) recognition of Cys over Hcy and GSH, which was used to visualize endogenous Cys in tumor tissue. Probe-H2S exhibited an. excellent specific and sensitive (LOD = 0.11 μM) response to H2S, which was applied in monitoring H2S releasing from the prodrug in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effects are responsible for the photoluminescent properties of coumarins. Hence, optical properties with different applications can be obtained by ICT modulation. Herein, four 3-acetyl-2H-chromen-2-ones (1a–d) and their corresponding fluorescent hybrids 3- (phenylhydrazone)-chromen-2-ones (2a–d) were synthesized in 74–65% yields. The UV-Vis data were in the 295–428 nm range. The emission depends on the substituent in position C-7 bearing electron-donating groups. Compounds 1b–d showed good optical properties due to the D-π-A structural arrangement. In compounds 2a–d, there is a quenching effect of fluorescence in solution. However, in the solid, an increase is shown due to an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect given by the rotational restraints and stacking in the crystal. Computational calculations of the HOMO-LUMO orbitals indicate high absorbance and emission values of the molecules, and gap values represent the bathochromic effect and the electronic efficiency of the compounds. Compounds 1a–d and 2a–d are good candidates for optical applications, such as OLEDs, organic solar cells, or fluorescence markers.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) plays vital roles in various physiological and pathological functions. Either a deficiency or excess of Cys could lead to severe ailments in human. The identification and determination of Cys are the key issues for the early diagnosis of relevant diseases. This contribution has presented a promising potential of fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) for Cys determination and D-/L-Cys enantiomer discrimination. Cys determination and discrimination are involved three steps. First, as a reducing and capping ligand, glutathione was applied to fabricate weak fluorescent AuNCs. Second, Ag+ was introduced to lead the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) to form well-dispersed aggregates. The fluorescence intensity of AuNCs was monitored at excitation/emission wavelengths of 396/620 nm. Third, Cys was found to quickly bind with Ag+ to form a grid network to light up the system via aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE). A novel sensor for a sensitive and a visually selective detection of Cys was established on the basis of the AIEE mechanism. Rapid quantitative determination of Cys was achieved in 2 min via AIEE within the range of 0.5-100 μmol L-1 and a detection limit of 0.365 μmol L-1. Moreover, due to the specific interactions of D-/L-Cys with mandelic acid and tartaric acid, the visual discrimination of D-/L-Cys enantiomers with naked eyes was realized by replacing the organic acid buffer.

Abstract
Copper ion (Cu2+) is an essential part of the living organisms. Cu2+ ions play a vital role in many biotic processes. An abnormal amount of Cu2+ ions may result in serious diseases. Herein, a novel "fluorescent ON" probe NC-Cu to trace minute levels of Cu2+ ions in presence of various biological active species has been developed. Lysosomal cells targeting group (Morpholine) was added to the probe. The spectral properties of probe NC-Cu were recorded in HEPES buffer (0.01 M, pH = 7.4, comprising 50% CH3CN, λex = 430 nm, slit: 5 nm). The synthesized probe NC-Cu work based on copper promoted catalytic hydrolysis of hydrazone and shows remarkable fluorescence enhancement. The reaction of the probe with Cu2+ ions was completed within 20 min. An excellent linear relationship (R2 = 0.9952) was found and the limit of detection (LOD, according to the 3σ/slope) for Cu2+ ions was calculated to be 5.8 µM.

Abstract
Anion sensing have attained immense importance as these charged ions are prevailing in agriculture industry and in heavy industry and therefore in the environment around us, chemosensors are commencing to claim several applications as their role is being better perceived day by day. In the current study, coumarin based thiosemicarbazone R-1 (phenyl moiety) and R-2 (benzyl moiety) were synthesized. It was observed that there were variations in the sensing patterns of compound bearing benzyl group, as compared to the simple phenyl group bearing receptor. Different techniques were used to confirm the interaction of coumarin based receptors with anions. These techniques included naked-eye test, UV-visible, 1H NMR, and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized receptors showed selectivity for fluoride ions. Benesi-Hildebrand equation was employed for determining the detection limits and binding constants values. The synthesized receptors were employed as efficient chemosensors in real life samples and satisfactory results were obtained.

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
Cysteine (Cys) is an indispensable small organic molecule containing sulfhydryl groups, which has essential regulatory effects on the physiological process of human body. In this work, a red emission fluorescent probe TCFQ-Cys was designed and exploited based on 2-(3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethylfuran-2(5H)-ylidene) malononitrile-derivatives. The probe could effectively monitor Cys through the typical acrylate cleavage. The detecting system showed a red emission at 633 nm and the fluorescence was stable within the pH range of 6-9. The detection could be completed in 30 min. TCFQ-Cys presented high sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.133 μM and high selectivity towards Cys from other biological mercaptans. The most important feature was that the system had a wide linear range of 0-300 μM, which covered the physiological requirements of Cys detection. Subsequently, we conducted the biological imaging of Cys in MCF-7 cells and Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). Therefore, TCFQ-Cys had a practical application prospect for further investigating the physiological function of Cys.

Abstract
By using BPMOH as the fluorophore and 2, 4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate moiety as the recognition site for thiols, a new long-wavelength emission (645 nm) fluorescent probe BPMSH with large Stokes shift (133 nm) was designed and synthesized. Probe BPMSH exhibited almost no fluorescence emission because of the PET process. When adding thiols, BPMSH could be quickly converted into BPMOH emitting a significant red fluorescence at 645 nm. In addition, BPMSH displayed high selectivity toward thiols among various biologically related analytes. Probe BPMSH has been applied to exogenous and endogenous thiols detection and imaging in living MCF-7 cells and MGC-803 cells. Most importantly, this probe BPMSH was successfully utilized for imaging thiols in zebrafish.

Abstract
Biothiols, including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), play key roles in biological processes, and detecting such thiols selectively is critical for understanding functions of biothiols. In this work, a pyridazine annelated perylene-based fluorescent probe PAPC is synthesized for highly selective detection of Cys. PAPC exhibits strong blue emission in PBS, while the red emission at 605 nm can be observed in the presence of Cys. The probe PAPC shows ratiometric fluorescence (I605/I460) detection of Cys with wide linear range of 1-120 μM and low detection limit of 0.19 μM. Super large Stokes shift (170 nm) and ratiometric fluorescence endow the probe low background signal. The discrimination of Cys over Hcy and GSH can be achieved through the difference of the ratiometric fluorescence. In addition, the probe has been proven to track Cys in real samples such as urine and HeLa cells. Therefore, PAPC probe is a promising candidate for detecting Cys in practical application.

Abstract
Cysteine has a great effect on the physiological and pathological processes, which could bring out various diseases such as skin lesions, edema, hair depigmentation, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and liver damage due to the abnormal concentrations of cysteine. Therefore, it is of great impoatance to develop a method for imaging Cys. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe was developed for imaging Cys in vivo specially. This turn-on probe exhibited favorable advantages including large Stokes shift (90 nm), fast response (10 min), good selectivity, low cytotoxicity and so on. Furthermore, the probe could be applied to monitoring cysteine in living HeLa cells, which indicates that this turn-on probe could penetrate viable cell membranes and image Cys over other analystes especially HCy and GSH.

[PMID: 31947927 PMCID: PMC7023067 DOI: 10.3390/nano10010102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2019] [Revised: 12/22/2019] [Accepted: 12/31/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
There is a growing interest in extending plasmonics applications into the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Noble metals are commonly used in plasmonic, but their intrinsic optical properties limit their use above 350 nm. Aluminum is probably the most suitable material for UV plasmonics, and in this work we fabricated substrates of nanoporous aluminum starting from an alloy of Al2Mg3. The porous metal is obtained by means of a galvanic replacement reaction. Such nanoporous metal can be exploited to achieve a plasmonic material suitable for enhanced UV Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence. Thanks to the large surface to volume ratio, this material represents a powerful platform for promoting interaction between plasmonic substrates and molecules in the UV.

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
pH value is one of the most important parameters, which show significant application in environmental monitoring, chemistry and biology. Abnormal pH values always associate with some serious diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, development of highly sensitive and selective method for pH sensing and imaging is of great importance. In this paper, we synthesized a water-soluble organic probe for pH sensing either through its absorption or through its fluorescent signals. The probe was synthesized from the intermediate containing a phenol group, and the reaction was carried out in concentrated H2SO4 at 90 °C. In this way, the probe can introduce a sulfonic acid group into its structure, and thus improve its water solubility. The synthesized probe is pH-responsive, and the response process is reversible, because that the phenol group in the probe can transfer to deprotonation state with increasing the pH values to improve the intramolecular charge transfer. Meanwhile, the synthesized probe also showed high specificity and excellent biocompatibility, which is suitable for cell imaging applications.

Abstract
Herein we reported a two-photon (TP) fluorescence "turn-on" probe MNPO, exhibiting high selectivity and sensitivity towards intracellular cysteine (Cys) with excellent lysosomal localization. The probe displayed fast response towards Cys over homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH), and other various analytes under physiological conditions. Low cytotoxicity made it successful for TP imaging of Cys in HeLa cells with an ultralow probe concentration of 250 nM, and a rapid response of only 10 min. Simultaneously, colocalization experiments in lysosome demonstrated its ability for specific in situ detection of lysosomal Cys in living cells, which shed light on its potential applications in biomedical applications. Beyond that MNPO was successfully applied for TP imaging of Cys in mice organ tissues such as heart, liver, and spleen, and the penetration depth of mice heart tissue was up to 184 μm, which disclosed the predominant TP characteristic. We believe that this study will provide some useful information toward diagnosis and treatment of pathogenesis associated with Cys or lysosomes in future.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of Cys, Hcy and GSH are associated with various diseases, thus monitoring biothiols is of great significance. In this work, a dual-emission responsive near-infrared fluorescent probe NIR-NBD for detecting Hcy and Cys/GSH was developed based on the conjugation of a dicyanoisophorone based fluorophore (NIR-OH) and 7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD). To our surprise, the addition of Hcy induced significant fluorescence enhancement at both 549 and 697 nm; while Cys/GSH resulted in major fluorescence emission at 697 nm. The detection limit was determined to be 33.2 nM for Cys, 33.5 nM for Hcy, and 34.4 nM for GSH. Therefore, the probe can be used for discriminative detection of Hcy and Cys/GSH. Moreover, fluorescence imaging of HeLa cells indicated that the probe was cell membrane permeable and could be used for visualizing Hcy and Cys/GSH in living cells.

Abstract
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) generally acts as an important plasma biomarker for clinical diagnosis due to its major contribution to human plasma cholinesterase levels, but its current fluorometric assay relying on fluorogenic substrates frequently suffers from the lack of sufficiently fast response time and specific recognition of substrates relative to the traditional Ellman's method. In this work, we report a fluorescent molecular probe for assaying BChE activity based on thiol-triggered fluorescence enhancement via thiol-ene click reactions. A low-temperature experiment and theoretical analysis exclude the possibility of weak fluorescence of the probe caused by an intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer process and support the main cause of an ultraslow radiative rate due to the introduction of two acrylyl groups. This probe has sensitive fluorescence responses to thiols via thiol-ene click chemistry, and it can distinguish between glutathione and cysteine or homocysteine in different emission colors. The rapid reaction kinetics of this probe enables it to monitor hydrolysis reactions catalyzed by butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in a real-time manner. This probe is used to develop the first fluorometric assay of BChE activity based on fluorescence enhancement triggered by thiol-ene click chemistry using butyrylthiocholine as the substrate. The established BChE assay shows excellent sensitivity, and is capable of avoiding the interference from glutathione and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in a complex matrix. The inhibition test of tacrine on BChE with this assay substantiates its feasibility in screening potential inhibitors of BChE. This work demonstrates a design strategy of fluorescent probes lighted up by thiol-ene click reactions, reveals the main cause of thiol-triggered fluorescence enhancement by altering the radiative rate, and provides the first fluorometric assay of BChE based on rapid thiol-ene click reactions.

Abstract
A new green-emitting fluorescent probe 1 was developed for biothiol detection. The sensing mechanism was considered to be biothiol-induced cleavage of the 2,4-dinitrobenzene- sulfonate group in probe 1 and resulting inhibition of the probe’s photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process. Probe 1 exhibited favorable properties such as excellent selectivity, highly sensitive (0.12 µM), large Stokes shift (117 nm) and a remarkable turn-on fluorescence signal (148-fold). Furthermore, confocal fluorescence imaging indicated that probe 1 was membrane-permeable and suitable for visualization of biothiols in living A549 cells.

Abstract
In this work, we have designed and synthesized the fluorescent probe 1, which showed a highly selective and sensitive response to Cys over Hcy/GSH in the test. Moreover, the color of probe solution has changed dramatically from colorless to pink with the addition of Cys within 10 min. Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity exhibited perfectly positive correlation with concentration of Cys from 0 to 200 μM, which offered the important condition for quantitative analysis. Finally, the bioimaging and fluorescence response of probe 1 for fetal calf serum are a powerful safeguard for practical detection of Cys. Therefore, this near-infrared probe will be of great benefit for detecting Cys in the biological systems.

Abstract
Development of thiol-specific fluorescent probes with selectivity in different thiol compounds is more practical and significant than those without that capacity. In this work, a new quinoline-derived fluorophore, hydroxyl-substituted quinoline-benzo[d]oxazole 6 with high fluorescence quantum yield is synthesized and esterified with acrylic acid to afford two fluorescent probes, BQA-1 and BQA-2 for selectively discriminating Cys from Hcys/GSH based on conjugate addition-cyclization mechanism. BQA-1 exhibits a large ratiometric fluorescence response toward Cys in aqueous pH 7.4 solution with big emission peak-shifting from 383 nm to 518 nm, over 130 nm. The detection limit is determined to be as low as 0.59 μM. In contrast to BQA-1, BQA-2 whose acrylic ester moiety is further modified with pyridine group, displays a turn-on fluorescence response to Cys with detection limit of 0.98 μM. Both BQA-1 and BQA-2 have relatively weak response to another two biothiols, Hcys and GSH and nearly no response to other nucleophiles. Furthermore, the potential application for the detection of biothiols in living cells has been demonstrated by cell imaging experiment.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and selective fluorogenic sensing of L-Cysteine (L-Cys) was implemented based on gelatin stabilized gold nanoparticles decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO/Au) nanohybrid. The rGO/Au nanohybrid was prepared by the one-pot hydrothermal method and well characterized by different physiochemical techniques. The nanohybrid exhibits a weak fluorescence of rGO due to the energy transfer from the rGO to Au NPs. The rGO/Au nanohybrid shows enhanced fluorescence activity due to the restoration of quenched fluorescence of rGO/Au nanohybrid in presence of L-Cys. The rGO/Au nanohybrid exhibits much lower detection limit of 0.51 nM for L-Cys with higher selectivity. The fluorescence sensing mechanism arose from the fluorescence recovery due to the stronger interaction between Au NPs and L-Cys, and consequently, the energy transfer was prevented between rGO and Au NPs. The practicability of rGO/Au sensor was implemented by invitro bioimaging measurements in Colo-205 (colorectal adenocarcinoma) and MKN-45 (gastric carcinoma) cancer live cells with excellent biocompatibility.
