Push-Pull Carbazole-Based Dyes: Synthesis, Strong Ultrafast Nonlinear Optical Response, and Effective Photoinitiation for Multiphoton Lithography. ACS APPLIED OPTICAL MATERIALS 2024; 2:1653-1666. [PMID: 39206344 PMCID: PMC11348418 DOI: 10.1021/acsaom.4c00241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
The present work reports on the ultrafast nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of a series of D-π-Α and D-A push-pull carbazole-based dyes and establishes a correlation between these properties and their efficiency for potential photonic and optoelectronic applications such as multiphoton lithography (MPL). The ultrafast NLO properties of the studied dyes are determined by two distinct experimental techniques, Z-scan and pump-probe optical Kerr effect (OKE), employing 246 fs laser pulses at 515 nm. The results indicate that chemical functionalization of the carbazole moiety with various strong electron-donating and/or electron-withdrawing groups, such as benzene, styrene, 4-bromostyrene, nitrobenzene, trimethyl isocyanurate, methyl, and indane-1,3-dione, can result in a controlled and significant enhancement of the NLO absorptive and refractive responses. In the context of potential applications, the efficiency of carbazole-based organic materials as photoinitiators (PIs) for MPL applications is demonstrated. The fabricated woodpile microstructure using chemically functionalized carbazole as a PI demonstrates improvements in both feature size and MPL efficiency compared to that using unfunctionalized carbazole as a PI. This is attributed to the efficient charge transfer resulting from chemical functionalization, which leads to a substantial increase (approximately 1 order of magnitude) in the values of the imaginary part of the second-order hyperpolarizability (Imγ) and the two-photon absorption cross section (σ). The achieved feature size of 280 nm is comparable to that obtained with other widely used PIs in MPL applications. Additionally, owing to the strong NLO properties of the studied functionalized carbazole, they could also be promising candidates for further applications in photonics and optoelectronics.

Abstract
The first-of-its-kind tetra-substituted sumanene derivative, featuring the push-pull chromophore architecture, has been successfully designed. The inclusion of both strong electron-withdrawing (CF3) and electron-donating (carbazole) moieties in this buckybowl compound has enhanced the charge transfer characteristics of the molecule. This enhancement was supported by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and emission spectra analyses along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The application of the title sumanene-carbazole push-pull chromophore as a selective recognition material for cesium cations (Cs+) was also presented. The title compound exhibited effective and selective Cs+-trapping ability, characterized by a high apparent binding constant value (at the level of 105) and a low limit of detection (0.09-0.13 μM). Owing to the tuned optical properties of the title push-pull chromophore, this study marks the first time in sumanene-tethered chemoreceptor chemistry where efficient tracking of Cs+ binding was possible with both absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies. This work introduces a new approach toward tuning the structure of bowl-shaped optical chemoreceptors.

Abstract
Polarity is a significant intracellular environmental parameter associated with cancer, while cyanide (CN-) is known to be highly toxic to humans. In this work, we designed a dual-functional fluorescent probe (TPABT) for simultaneous detection of polarity and CN-. As a polarity sensor, the probe exhibits NIR emission at 766 nm in 1,4-dioxane (non-polar solvent), whose emission intensity is 71-fold stronger than that in water (polar solvent). Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity and quantum yield are linearly related to solvent polarity, confirming the polarity response ability of TPABT. For cell polarity detection, low cytotoxicity and polarity sensitivity of probe enable the applications for differentiating cancer cells (HeLa, 4TI) from normal cells (HUV, 3 T3) and monitoring the polarity changes of 4TI cells. As a CN- sensor, TPABT displays a turn-on fluorescence at 640 nm upon the addition of CN-, with advantages of anti-interference, response in aqueous media and low detection limit (22 nM). Additionally, we further explored the practical applications of TPABT for CN- determination in three types of real water samples (drinking water, tap water and lake water) and living cells. Notably, TPABT responses to polarity and CN- in two independent fluorescence channels of 766 and 640 nm, respectively, ensuring the dual functions for polarity and CN- sensing. Consequently, this multi-responsive fluorescent probe TPABT is promising to diagnose polarity-related diseases and detect CN- in real environments.

Abstract
Research on ferroptosis in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) using mitochondrial viscosity as a nexus holds great promise for MIRI therapy. However, high-precision visualisation of mitochondrial viscosity remains a formidable task owing to the debilitating electrostatic interactions caused by damaged mitochondrial membrane potential. Herein, we propose a dual-locking mitochondria-targeting strategy that incorporates electrostatic forces and probe-protein molecular docking. Even in damaged mitochondria, stable and precise visualisation of mitochondrial viscosity in triggered and medicated MIRI was achieved owing to the sustained driving forces (e.g., pi-cation, pi-alkyl interactions, etc.) between the developed probe, CBS, and the mitochondrial membrane protein. Moreover, complemented by a western blot, we confirmed that ferrostatin-1 exerts its therapeutic effect on MIRI by improving the system xc-/GSH/GPX4 antioxidant system, confirming the therapeutic value of ferroptosis in MIRI. This study presents a novel strategy for developing robust mitochondrial probes, thereby advancing MIRI treatment.

Abstract
Fluorescent tags are commonly used for imaging of proteins and peptides during biological events; however, the large size of dyes can disrupt protein structure and function, and typically require the use of a chemical spacer. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new class of fluorescent unnatural α-amino acid, containing carbazole side-chains designed to mimic l-tryptophan and thus, readily incorporated into peptides. The amino acids were constructed using a Negishi cross-coupling reaction as the key step and exhibited strong fluorescent emission, with high quantum yields in both organic solvents and water. Compatible with solid phase peptide synthesis, the carbazole amino acids were used to replace tryptophan in a β-hairpin model peptide and shown to be a close structural mimic with retention of conformation. They were also found to be effective fluorescent molecular reporters for biological events. Incorporation into a proline-rich ligand of the WW domain protein demonstrated that the fluorescent properties of a carbazole amino acid could be used to measure the protein-protein binding interaction of this important biological signalling process.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is closely related to the development and treatment of various cancers; thus, comprehensive studies of the correlations between pyroptosis and its inductive or inhibitive factors can provide new ideas for the intervention and diagnosis of tumors. The dysfunction of mitochondria may induce pyroptosis in cancer cells, which can be reflected by the fluctuations of the microenvironmental parameters in mitochondria as well as the changes of mitochondrial DNA level and morphology, etc. To precisely track and assess the mitochondria-associated pyroptosis process, simultaneous visualization of changes in multiphysiological parameters in mitochondria is highly desirable. In this work, we reported a nonreaction-based, multifunctional small-molecule fluorescent probe Mito-DK with the capability of crosstalk-free response to polarity and mtDNA as well as mitochondrial morphology. Accurate assessment of mitochondria-associated pyroptosis induced by palmitic acid/H2O2 was achieved through monitoring changes in mitochondrial multiple parameters with the help of Mito-DK. In particular, the pyroptosis-inducing ability of an antibiotic doxorubicin and the pyroptosis-inhibiting capacity of an anticancer agent puerarin were evaluated by Mito-DK. These results provide new perspectives for visualizing mitochondria-associated pyroptosis and offer new approaches for screening pyroptosis-related anticancer agents.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an essential role in regulating various physiological and pathological processes. This has spurred various efforts to develop feasible methods for the detection of NO. Herein we designed and synthesized a novel donor-acceptor fluorescent probe Car-NO for the selective and specific detection of NO. Reaction of Car-NO with NO generated a new donor-acceptor structure with strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect, and led to remarkable chromogenic change from yellow to blue and dramatic fluorescence quenching. Car-NO exhibited high selectivity, excellent sensitivity, and rapid response for the detection of NO. In addition, the nanoparticles prepared from Car-NO (i.e., Car-NO NPs) showed strong NIR emission and high selectivity/sensitivity. Car-NO NPs was successfully employed to image both endogenous and exogenous NO in HeLa and RAW 264.7 cells. The present findings reveal that Car-NO is a promising probe for the detection and bioimaging of NO.

Abstract
In this work, positively charged N-carbazoleacetic acid decorated CuxO nanoparticles (CuxO-CAA NPs) as novel biocompatible nanozymes have been successfully prepared through a one-step hydrothermal method. CuxO-CAA can serve as a self-cascading platform through effective GSH-OXD-like and POD-like activities, and the former can induce continuous generation of H2O2 through the catalytic oxidation of overexpressed GSH in the bacterial infection microenvironment, which in turn acts as a substrate for the latter to yield ˙OH via Fenton-like reaction, without introducing exogenous H2O2. Upon NIR irradiation, CuxO-CAA NPs possess a high photothermal conversion effect, which can further improve the enzymatic activity for increasing the production rate of H2O2 and ˙OH. Besides, the photodynamic performance of CuxO-CAA NPs can produce 1O2. The generated ROS and hyperthermia have synergetic effects on bacterial mortality. More importantly, CuxO-CAA NPs are more stable and biosafe than Cu2O, and can generate electrostatic adsorption with negatively charged bacterial cell membranes and accelerate bacterial death. Antibacterial results demonstrate that CuxO-CAA NPs are lethal against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli (AREC) through destroying the bacterial membrane and disrupting the bacterial biofilm formation. MRSA-infected animal wound models show that CuxO-CAA NPs can efficiently promote wound healing without causing toxicity to the organism.

Abstract
The rapid detection of Ni ions has important research and application value. This paper presents a novel specific turn-off fluorescence probe PCTMP-FS for detecting Ni2+ ions. The carbazole-based compound PCTMP is first synthesized via a two-step reaction. PCTMP-FS comprises PCTMP dispersed into a DMSO-H2O (fw = 30% v/v) mixed solvent. The probe demonstrates prominent selectivity and anti-interference abilities for detecting Ni2+ with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.233 μM. The probe exhibits good applicability over a wide range of acidities. The detecting mechanism of the probe is due to the complex formed by PCTMP and Ni2+ (2:1), which destroys intramolecular charge transfer in the compound. The probe has good repeatability and demonstrates excellent stability and sensitivity for the detection of Ni2+ in real water samples.

Abstract
The carbazole scaffold is a significant entity in organic compounds due to its variety of biological and synthetic applications. Traditionally, carbazole skeletons have been synthesized either via the Grabe-Ullman method, Clemo-Perkin method or Tauber method. With the passage of time, these methods have been modified and explored to accomplish the synthesis of target compounds. These methods include hydroarylations, C-H activations, annulations and cyclization reactions mediated by a variety of catalysts to construct carbazole-based compounds. This brief review article intends to provide recent updates on important methodological developments reported for the synthesis of carbazole nuclei covering 2019-2023.

Catalyst- and Substrate-Controlled Regiodivergent Synthesis of Carbazoles through Gold-Catalyzed Cyclizations of Indole-Functionalized Alkynols. Chempluschem 2023; 88:e202300382. [PMID: 37773019 DOI: 10.1002/cplu.202300382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/30/2023]
Abstract
A wide variety of regioselectively substituted carbazole derivatives can be synthesized by the gold-catalyzed cyclization of alkynols bearing an indol-3-yl and an additional group at the homopropargylic positions. The regioselectivity of the process can be controlled by both the oxidation state of the gold catalyst and the electronic nature of the substituents of the alkynol moiety. The 1,2-alkyl migration in the spiroindoleninium intermediate, generated after indole attack to the activated alkyne, is favored with gold(I) complexes and for electron-rich aromatic substituents at the homopropargylic position, whereas the 1,2-alkenyl shift is preferred when using gold(III) salts and for alkyl or non-electron-rich aromatic groups.

Abstract
Various bioactive substances are simultaneously involved in physiological processes, and research on the synergistic effect of them can promote the study of pathological mechanisms. To achieve this purpose, several small-molecule double-locked logic gate fluorescence probes have been developed recently. They overcome many shortcomings of the traditional "single-signal" fluorescent probes, with fluorescence that can be activated by two analytes of interest order-independently or order-dependently with one output. In this review, we summarize recently published small-molecule double-locked logic gate probes for the optical detection of two bioactive substances in living systems. We envision that this review will attract significant attention from researchers to exploit more powerful functional double-locked logic gate probes.

Abstract
Even though there is a critical dipole moment required to support a dipole-bound state (DBS), how molecular polarizability may influence the formation of DBSs is not well understood. Pyrrolide, indolide, and carbazolide provide an ideal set of anions to systematically examine the role of polarization interactions in the formation of DBSs. Here, we report an investigation of carbazolide using cryogenic photodetachment spectroscopy and high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). A polarization-assisted DBS is observed at 20 cm-1 below the detachment threshold for carbazolide, even though the carbazolyl neutral core has a dipole moment (2.2 D) smaller than the empirical critical value (2.5 D) to support a dipole-bound state. Photodetachment spectroscopy reveals nine vibrational Feshbach resonances of the DBS, as well as three intense and broad shape resonances. The electron affinity of carbazolyl is measured accurately to be 2.5653 ± 0.0004 eV (20,691 ± 3 cm-1). The combination of photodetachment spectroscopy and resonant PES allows fundamental frequencies for 14 vibrational modes of carbazolyl to be measured. The three shape resonances are due to above-threshold excitation to the three low-lying electronic states (S1-S3) of carbazolide. Resonant PES of the shape resonances is dominated by autodetachment processes. Ultrafast relaxation from the S2 and S3 states to S1 is observed, resulting in constant kinetic energy features in the resonant PES. The current study provides decisive information about the role that polarization plays in the formation of DBSs, as well as rich spectroscopic information about the carbazolide anion and the carbazolyl radical.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The carbazole skeleton is an important structural motif occurring naturally or synthesized chemically and has antihistaminic, antioxidant, antitumor, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to design and synthesize a novel series of carbazole derivatives and evaluate their antiproliferative and antioxidant activities. METHODS The synthesized compounds were characterized utilizing HRMS, 1H-, and 13CAPT-NMR, and assessed for their anticancer, antifibrotic, and antioxidant effects utilizing reference biomedical procedures. In addition, the AutoDock Vina application was used to perform in-silico docking computations. RESULTS A series of carbazole derivatives were synthesized and characterized in the current study. Compounds 10 and 11 were found to have a stronger antiproliferative effect than compounds 2-5 against HepG2, HeLa, and MCF7 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 7.68, 10.09, and 6.44 µM, respectively. Moreover, compound 9 showed potent antiproliferative activity against HeLa cancer cell lines with an IC50 value of 7.59 µM. However, except for compound 5, all of the synthesized compounds showed moderate antiproliferative activities against CaCo-2 with IC50 values in the range of 43.7-187.23 µM. All of these values were compared with the positive control anticancer drug 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). In addition, compound 9 showed the most potent anti-fibrotic compound, and the cellular viability of LX-2 was found 57.96% at 1 µM concentration in comparison with the positive control 5-FU. Moreover, 4 and 9 compounds showed potent antioxidant activities with IC50 values of 1.05 ± 0.77 and 5.15 ± 1.01 µM, respectively. CONCLUSION Most of the synthesized carbazole derivatives showed promising antiproliferative, antioxidant, and antifibrotic biological effects, and further in-vivo investigations are needed to approve or disapprove these results.

Abstract
Fluorescent rotors with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and organelle-targeting properties have attracted great attention for sensing subcellular viscosity changes, which could help understand the relationships of abnormal fluctuations with many associated diseases. Despite the numerous efforts spent, it remains rare and urgent to explore the dual-organelle targeting probes and their structural relationships with viscosity-responsive and AIE properties. Therefore, in this work, we reported four meso-five-membered heterocycle-substituted BODIPY-based fluorescent probes, explored their viscosity-responsive and AIE properties, and further investigated their subcellular localization and viscosity-sensing applications in living cells. Interestingly, the meso-thiazole probe 1 showed both good viscosity-responsive and AIE (in pure water) properties and could successfully target both mitochondria and lysosomes, further imaging cellular viscosity changes by treating lipopolysaccharide and nystatin, attributing to the free rotation and potential dual-organelle targeting ability of the meso-thiazole group. The meso-benzothiophene probe 3 with a saturated sulfur only showed good viscosity-responsive properties in living cells with the aggregation-caused quenching effect and no subcellular localization. The meso-imidazole probe 2 showed the AIE phenomenon without an obvious viscosity-responsive property with a C═N bond, while the meso-benzopyrrole probe 4 displayed fluorescence quenching in polar solvents. Therefore, for the first time, we investigated the structure-property relationships of four meso-five-membered heterocycle-substituted BODIPY-based fluorescent rotors with viscosity-responsive and AIE properties, and among these, 1 with a C═N bond and a saturated sulfur on the meso-thiazole, potentially contributing to their corresponding AIE and viscosity-responsive properties, served as a sensitive AIE fluorescent rotor for imaging dual-organelle viscosity in both mitochondria and lysosomes.

Abstract
Quinone methides are well-established intermediates in asymmetric synthesis. In contrast, their extended analogues with the carbonyl and methide units distributed across two different rings have not been exploited in asymmetric synthesis. Herein, we achieved the first asymmetric process involving such intermediates. Specifically, the use of suitable chiral phosphoric acids enabled in situ generation of 2-naphthoquinone 8-methides and the corresponding aza counterparts for mild one-pot asymmetric nucleophilic addition. These processes provided rapid access to a wide range of previously less accessible remotely chiral naphthols and naphthylamines with both high efficiency and excellent enantioselectivity. Control experiment and DFT calculations provided important insights into the reaction mechanism, which likely involves two phosphoric acid molecules in the enantiodetermining transition states. This work serves as a proof of concept for the exploitation of new types of extended quinone methides as versatile intermediates for asymmetric synthesis, thus providing a new platform for the efficient construction of remote benzylic stereogenic centers of aromatic compounds.

Abstract
The visualization of cell membrane and mitochondrial behavior in living cells is of great life science value, but challenging due to the lack of ideal probes. In this work, two novel fluorescent probes based on different lengths of alkyl chains were reported for selective targeting of cell membranes or mitochondria of living cells. The probe CTM (1-Octadecyl-4-[9-ethyl-6-(diphenylamino)-9H-carbazol-3-yl] pyridinium) achieved cell membrane-specific staining in cells. Moreover, the probe CTM could monitor cell membrane damage through subcellular migration. Once the cell membrane was damaged, the probe CTM migrated into the mitochondria as a signal reporter. In addition, the probe MTM (1-Dodecly-4-[9-ethyl-6-(diphenylamino)-9H-carbazol-3-yl] pyridinium) with the shorter alkyl chain bearing the same skeleton structure penetrated the cell membrane and exhibited high affinity to mitochondria. This work will provide a useful tool to visualize the behavior of cell membranes and mitochondria in living cells.

Abstract
The employment of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to design luminescent metal compounds has been the focus of recent intense investigations because of the strong σ-donor properties, which bring stability to the whole system and tend to push the d-d dark states so high in energy that they are rendered thermally inaccessible, thereby generating highly emissive complexes for useful applications such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), or featuring chiroptical properties, a field that is still in its infancy. Among the NHC complexes, those containing organic chromophores such as naphthalimide, pyrene, and carbazole exhibit rich emission behavior and thus have attracted extensive interest in the past five years, especially carbene coinage metal complexes with carbazolate ligands. In this review, the design strategies of NHC-based luminescent platinum and iridium complexes with large spin-orbit-coupling (SOC) are described first. Subsequent paragraphs illustrate the recent advances of luminescent coinage metal complexes with nucleophilic- and electrophilic-based carbenes based on silver, gold, and copper metal complexes that have the ability to display rich excited state emissions in particular via thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The luminescence mechanism and excited state dynamics are also described. We then summarize the advance of NHC-metal complexes in the aforementioned fields in recent years. Finally, we propose the development trend of this fast-growing field of luminescent NHC-metal complexes.

Abstract
For a long time, luminescence phenomena were strictly distinguished between the emission of isolated molecules in dilute solutions or close-packed structures such as in powders or aggregates. This changed with the breakthrough observation of dual-state efficient materials, which led to a rapid boost of publications examining the influence of structural features to achieve balanced emission with disregarded molecular surroundings. Some first general structural design concepts have already been proposed based on reoccurring patterns and pivotal motifs. However, we have found another way to classify these solution and solid-state emitters (SSSEs). Hence, this minireview aims to present an overview of published structural features of SSSEs while shining light on design concepts from a more generalized perspective. Since SSSEs are believed to bridge the gap of hitherto known aggregation-sensitive compound classes, we hope to give future scientists a versatile tool in hand to efficiently design novel luminescent materials.

Abstract
The development of a Lewis acid-catalyzed, intramolecular ring-opening benzannulation of 5-(indolyl)2,3-dihydrofuran acetals is described. The resulting 1-hydroxycarbazole-2-carboxylates are formed in up to 90% yield in 1 h. The dihydrofuran acetals are readily accessed from the reactions of enol ethers and α-diazo-β-indolyl-β-ketoesters. To highlight the method's synthetic utility, a formal total synthesis of murrayafoline A, a bioactive carbazole-containing natural product, was undertaken.

A water-soluble fluorescent sensor based on carbazole pyridinium boronic acid (CPBA) was designed and synthesized. Its structure has been confirmed by CHN and 1H and 13C NMR, FT-IR, and MS spectral data. Fluorescence studies of the synthesized chemosensor CPBA showed a selective ratiometric fluorescent response for glucose among different monosaccharides. The results specified that CPBA is a pH-sensitive sensor that behaves differently in the absence and presence of glucose in the pH range 4-10. The pH, DLS, Job's plot, UV-visible, and fluorescence titration studies showed that the selectivity of CPBA towards glucose is through the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon. The fluorescence emission intensity of CPBA changes by more than 2100 fold by adding glucose, whereas it is 2 fold for fructose. The calculated binding constant value of CPBA for glucose (K = 2.3 × 106 M-1) is 85 times greater than for fructose, indicating the high affinity of the sensor for glucose.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of carbazole-based unnatural α-amino acid and non-α-amino acid derivatives via a Pd(II)-catalyzed bidentate directing group 8-aminoquinoline-aided β-C(sp3)-H activation/functionalization method. Various N-phthaloyl, DL-, L- and D-carboxamides derived from their corresponding α-amino acids, non-α-amino acids and aliphatic carboxamides were subjected to the β-C(sp3)-H functionalization with 3-iodocarbazoles in the presence of a Pd(II) catalyst to afford the corresponding carbazole moiety installed unnatural amino acid derivatives and aliphatic carboxamides. Carbazole motif-containing racemic (DL) and enantiopure (L and D) amino acid derivatives including phenylalanine, norvaline, leucine, norleucine and 2-aminooctanoic acid with anti-stereochemistry and various non-α-amino acid derivatives including GABA have been synthesized. Removal of the 8-aminoquinoline directing group, deprotection of the phthalimide moiety and the preparation of carbazole amino acid derivatives containing free amino- and carboxylate groups are shown. The carbazole motif is prevalent in alkaloids and biologically active molecules and functional materials. Thus, this work on the synthesis of carbazole-based unnatural amino acid derivatives would enrich the libraries of unnatural amino acid derivatives and carbazoles.

Abstract
Recent interest in research on photoluminescent molecules due to their unique properties has played an important role in advancing the bioimaging field. In particular, small molecules and organic dots as probes have great potential for the achievement of bioimaging because of their desirable properties. In this review, we provide an introduction of probes consisting of fluorescent small molecules and polymers that emit light across the ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelength ranges, along with a brief summary of the most recent techniques for bioimaging. Since photoluminescence probes emitting light in different ranges have different goals and targets, their respective strategies also differ. Diverse and novel strategies using photoluminescence probes against targets have gradually been introduced in the related literature. Among recent papers (published within the last 5 years) on the topic, we here concentrate on the photophysical properties and strategies for the design of molecular probes, with key examples of in vivo photoluminescence research for practical applications. More in-depth studies on these probes will provide key insights into how to control the molecular structure and size/shape of organic probes for expanded bioimaging research and applications.

Abstract
The drug resistance and low specificity of current available chemotherapeutics to cancer cells are the main reasons responsible for the failure of cancer chemotherapy and remain dramatic challenges for cancer therapy, creating an urgent need to develop novel anticancer agents. Carbazole nucleus, widely distributed in nature, is a predominant feature of a vast array of biologically active compounds. Carbazole derivatives exhibited potential antiproliferative activity against different cancer cell lines by diverse mechanisms, inclusive of arrest cell cycle and induce apoptosis, and several anticancer agents are carbazole-based compounds. Thus, carbazole derivatives represent a fertile source for discovery of novel anticancer therapeutic agents. Over the past several years, a variety of carbazole hybrids have been developed as potential anticancer agents. The present review focuses on the recent progress, from 2016 until now, in knowledge on anticancer properties, structure-activity relationships and mechanisms of action of carbazole hybrids to provide a basis for development of relevant therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are storage organelles at the centre of lipid and energy homeostasis, which act as vital hubs of cellular metabolism and the key to maintaining lipid and energy homeostasis. We synthesized a new two-photon fluorescent probe (CIV) that could detect the viscosity of lipid droplets. The probe is constructed via the typical ICT system of D–π–A using carbazole as the donor and imidazole as the acceptor. With the increase in viscosity from PBS to 99% glycerol, the fluorescence intensity of CIV increased by 13-fold, showing sensitivity and specificity towards viscosity. In addition, CIV showed low toxicity and excellent biocompatibility in cytotoxicity tests, and was successfully used for living cell LD imaging. Taken together, the results widen the way for the development of novel fluorescent probe-based the visualization LDs and detection in solutions, physiology and pathology. A novel two-photon fluorescence probe (CIV) can detect the viscosity and locate lipid droplets in living cells.![]()
