Abstract
Selectively labeling cells with damaged membranes is needed not only for identifying dead cells in culture, but also for imaging membrane barrier dysfunction in pathologies in vivo. Most membrane permeability stains are permanently colored or fluorescent dyes that need washing to remove their non-uptaken extracellular background and reach good image contrast. Others are DNA-binding environment-dependent fluorophores, which lack design modularity, have potential toxicity, and can only detect permeabilization of cell volumes containing a nucleus (i.e., cannot delineate damaged volumes in vivo nor image non-nucleated cell types or compartments). Here, we develop modular fluorogenic probes that reveal the whole cytosolic volume of damaged cells, with near-zero background fluorescence so that no washing is needed. We identify a specific disulfonated fluorogenic probe type that only enters cells with damaged membranes, then is enzymatically activated and marks them. The esterase probe MDG1 is a reliable tool to reveal live cells that have been permeabilized by biological, biochemical, or physical membrane damage, and it can be used in multicolor microscopy. We confirm the modularity of this approach by also adapting it for improved hydrolytic stability, as the redox probe MDG2. We conclude by showing the unique performance of MDG probes in revealing axonal membrane damage (which DNA fluorogens cannot achieve) and in discriminating damage on a cell-by-cell basis in embryos in vivo. The MDG design thus provides powerful modular tools for wash-free in vivo imaging of membrane damage, and indicates how designs may be adapted for selective delivery of drug cargoes to these damaged cells: offering an outlook from selective diagnosis toward therapy of membrane-compromised cells in disease.

Abstract
Fluorescein diester which is conjugated with cell membrane permeable Arg9 peptide was proposed as probe for ester prodrug stability and drug release study in living cells. α-Amino protected d-Val and l-Ala which bear differently hindered side chains were used to afford model diesters of 5-maleimide-fluorescein. Such fluorescein diesters were further conjugated with a Cys containing cell membrane permeable Arg9 peptide via thiol-ene crosslink reaction. The resulted conjugates of fluorescein diester and Arg9 peptide were purified with HPLC and characterized with MALDI-TOF MS. Upon incubation with cultured cells, the fluorescein diesters were delivered into the cells, the following hydrolysis of fluorescein diesters and release of fluorescein inside living cells were observed by monitoring the fluorescence accumulation. Fluorescence microscopic imaging studies of HeLa cells treated with fluorescein l-Ala diester show strong fluorescence accumulation in 30 min indicating fast hydrolysis of fluorescein diester and fluorescein release; in contrast d-Val diester remains stable inside cells evidenced by margin fluorescence formation. Further flowcytometry studies on the fluorescein diester-Arg9 conjugate treated cells show that the hydrolysis t1/2 for l-Ala diester is 15 min. The results also show that Arg9 peptide not only transports the ester probes into cell efficiently but also can retain and concentrate hydrolytic product fluorescein inside cells so that the accumulated fluorescence can be accurately quantified. This fluorogenic probe approach provides feasible applications in dynamic studies on ester prodrug hydrolysis and release, facilitating screening and optimization of prodrug structures in living cell settings.

Abstract
We constructed a novel probe for hydrazine detection based on ICT and PET mechanism. Phthalimide and acetyl ester groups were used as the recognition units. Addition of hydrazine produced a turn-on fluorescence at 525nm along with the fluorescent color change from dark to yellow. The probe could selectively detect hydrazine over other related interfering species. The detection limit of the probe for hydrazine was calculated to be 0.057μM which was lower than the EPA standard (0.320μM). Furthermore, the probe could also be applied for the imaging of hydrazine in living cells.

Abstract
Carboxylic acid terminated poly(ε-caprolactone)s (PCL-COOHs) with narrow polydispersity were synthesized and coupled with poly(ethylene glycol) (HO-PEG-OH) to afford PCL-PEG-OH copolymers. The hydroxyl groups in the PCL-PEG-OHs were then converted to maleimide groups to afford maleimide terminated PCL-PEG-MALs that contained 70-90% maleimide functionality. Nanoparticles with maleimide functionality on their surfaces were prepared by impingement mixing. Particle sizes and size distributions were determined by dynamic light scattering. Conjugation of reduced glutathione with model maleimides and two MAL-functional nanoparticles was also demonstrated. The amount of accessible maleimide on the particle surface was measured using Ellman's reagent to range between ~51-67%.
