Abstract
A new ratiometric fluorescent sensor (LP) based on bicarboxaminoquinoline was designed and synthesized for sequentially recognizing Zn2+ and PPi. In aqueous solution, LP exhibited the ratiometric fluorescence response towards Zn2+, along with the about 4-folds enhancement of fluorescence quantum yield. Subsequently, the LP-Zn2+ complex displayed the fluorescence recovery upon adding PPi through the displacement strategy. And the LODs of LP and its Zn2+ complex for sensing Zn2+ and PPi were found to be 15 nM and 5.5 nM, respectively. Notably, the reversibility of LP for sequentially sensing Zn2+ and PPi had been employed to construct the INHIBIT logic gate. Moreover, LP and its Zn2+ complex had been successfully utilized for the detection of Zn2+ and PPi in two real water samples and cells imaging.

Abstract
We have developed a highly sensitive and reliable fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) probe using nitro-dopamine (ND) and dopamine (DA) coated MnO2 nanosheet (ND@MnO2 NS and DA@MnO2 NS) as an energy acceptor and MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) as an energy donor. By employing surface-modified MnO2 NS, we can effectively reduce the fluorescence intensity of MoS2 QDs through FRET. It can reduce MnO2 NS to Mn2+ and facilitate the fluorescence recovery of the MoS2 QDs. This ND@MnO2 NS@MoS2 QD-based nanoprobe demonstrates excellent sensitivity to GSH, achieving an LOD of 22.7 nM in an aqueous medium while exhibiting minimal cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Moreover, our sensing platform shows high selectivity to GSH towards various common biomolecules and electrolytes. Confocal fluorescence imaging revealed that the nanoprobe can image GSH in A549 cells. Interestingly, the ND@MnO2 NS nanoprobe demonstrates no cytotoxicity in living cancer cells, even at concentrations up to 100 μg mL-1. Moreover, the easy fabrication and eco-friendliness of ND@MnO2 NS make it a rapid and simple method for detecting GSH. We envision the developed nanoprobe as an incredible platform for real-time monitoring of GSH levels in both extracellular and intracellular mediums, proving valuable for biomedical research and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
The facile detection of glutathione (GSH) and ovalbumin (OVA) is of great importance in biological research. Herein, a tetradentate Schiff base N, N'-bis(pyridoxal-5-phosphate)-o-phenylenediamine (L) obtained by condensing two moles of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) with one mole of 1,2-phenylenediamine was employed for the fluorescence switch-on detection of GSH and OVA. When excited at 389 nm, receptor L showed a weak emission at 454 nm in an aqueous medium. The addition of GSH to the solution of L caused a significant fluorescence enhancement at 454 nm. Amino acids (leucine, glycine, serine, tryptophan, homocysteine, alanine, methionine, arginine and proline) and albumins (bovine serum albumin and OVA) failed to alter the fluorescence profile of L. Receptor L can be applied to detect GSH down to 1.16 µM. However, the fluorescence emission of L was quenched upon the formation of the L-Cu2+ complex. The addition of GSH and OVA to the in-situ formed L-Cu2+ complex restored not only the fluorescence emission of L but also a noticeable fluorescence enhancement observed at 454 nm. The decomplexation of L-Cu2+, along with the interaction of L with GSH and OVA is expected to suppress the conformational flexibility of L that enhanced the fluorescent intensity at 454 nm. Using L-Cu2+ complex, the concentration of OVA and GSH can be detected down to 0.31 µM and 0.20 µM, respectively. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation were performed to analyze the binding mode, conformational flexibility and dynamic stability of the L-Cu2+-OVA complex. Finally, the analytical novelty of L-Cu2+ was examined by detecting GSH/OVA in real biological samples, such as human blood serum, urine, and egg white.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), as one of the biological thiols, is related to many physiological and pathological processes in humans and plants. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a sensitive and selective method for the detection and imaging of Cys in biological organisms. In this work, a novel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe, Probe-Cys, was designed by connecting furancarbonyl, as a new recognition moiety, with Fluorophore-OH via the decomposition of IR-806. The use of the furan moiety is anticipated to produce more effective fluorescence quenching because of the electron-donating ability of the O atom. Probe-Cys has outstanding properties, such as a new recognition group, an emission wavelength in the infrared region at 710 nm, a linear range (0-100 μM), a low detection limit of 0.035 μM, good water solubility, excellent sensitivity, and selectivity without the interference of Hcy, GSH, and HS-. More importantly, Probe-Cys could achieve the detection of endogenous Cys by reacting with the stimulant 1,4-dimercaptothreitol (DTT) and the inhibitor N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) in HepG2 cells and zebrafish. Ultimately, it was successfully applied to obtain images of Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing that the content of Cys in the meristematic zone was higher than that in the elongation zone, which was the first time that the NIR fluorescence probe was used to obtain images of Cys in A. thaliana. The superior properties of the probe exhibit its great potential for use in biosystems to explore the physiological and pathological processes associated with Cys.

Abstract
In recent years, the field of Supramolecular Chemistry has witnessed tremendous progress owing to the development of versatile optical sensors for the detection of harmful biological analytes. Nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) is one such scaffold that has been exploited as fluorescent probes for selective recognition of harmful analytes and their optical imaging in various cell lines including HeLa, PC3, A549, SMMC-7721, MDA-MB-231, HepG2, MFC-7, etc. The NBD-derived molecular probes are majorly synthesized from the chloro derivative of NBD via nucleophilic aromatic substitution. This general NBD moiety ligation method to nucleophiles has been leveraged to develop various derivatives for sensing analytes. NBD-derived probes are extensively used as optical sensors because of remarkable properties like excellent stability, large Stoke's shift, high efficiency and stability, visible excitation, easy use, low cost, and high quantum yield. This article reviewed NBD-based probes for the years 2017-2023 according to the sensing of analyte(s), including cations, anions, thiols, and small molecules like hydrogen sulfide. The sensing mechanism, designing of the probe, plausible binding mechanism, and biological application of chemosensors are summarized. The real-time application of optical sensors has been discussed by various methods, such as paper strips, molecular logic gates, smartphone detection, development of test kits, etc. This article will update the researchers with the in vivo and in vitro biological applicability of NBD-based molecular probes and challenges the research fraternity to design, propose, and develop better chemosensors in the future possessing commercial utility.

Abstract
An emission "turn-off" chemodosimeter for the naked-eye detection of biothiols using silica-overcoated cadmium selenide quantum dots is developed. Hole scavenging by the thiol group of cysteine, homocysteine, or glutathione on interaction with quantum dots resulted in an instant and permanent emission quenching under physiologically relevant conditions. Also, the emission suppression is so specific that thiols and substituted thiols (methionine and cystine) can easily be distinguished. A pilot experiment for the visual detection of serum thiols in human blood was also conducted. Densitometry analysis proved the potential of this system as a new methodology in clinical chemistry and research laboratories for routine blood and urine analyses using a simple procedure. This method enables one to visually distinguish biothiols and oxidized biothiols, whose ratio plays a crucial role in maintaining "redox thiol status" in the blood.

Abstract
Cancer represents a global threat to human health, and effective strategies for improved cancer early diagnosis and treatment are urgently needed. The detection of tumor biomarkers has been one of the important auxiliary means for tumor screening and diagnosis. Mitochondria are crucial subcellular organelles that produce most chemical energy used by cells, control metabolic processes, and maintain cell function. Evidence suggests the close involvement of mitochondria with cancer development. As a consequence, the identification of cancer-associated biomarker expression levels in mitochondria holds significant importance in the diagnosis of early-stage diseases and the monitoring of therapy efficacy. Small-molecule fluorescent probes are effective for the identification and visualization of bioactive entities within biological systems, owing to their heightened sensitivity, expeditious non-invasive analysis and real-time detection capacities. The design principles and sensing mechanisms of mitochondrial targeted fluorescent probes are summarized in this review. Additionally, the biomedical applications of these probes for detecting cancer-associated biomarkers are highlighted. The limitations and challenges of fluorescent probes in vivo are also considered and some future perspectives are provided. This review is expected to provide valuable insights for the future development of novel fluorescent probes for clinical imaging, thereby contributing to the advancement of cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Monitoring the level of biothiols in organisms would be beneficial for health inspections. Recently, 3-(2'-nitro vinyl)-4-phenylselenyl coumarin as a fluorescent probe for distinguishing the detection of the small-molecule biothiols cysteine/homocysteine (Cys/Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) was developed. By introducing 4-phenyselenium as the active site, the probe CouSeNO2/CouSNO2 was capable of detecting Cys/Hcy and GSH in dual fluorescence channels. Theoretical insights into the fluorescence sensing mechanism of the probe were provided in this work. The details of the electron excitation process in the probe and sensing products under optical excitation and the fluorescent character were analyzed using the quantum mechanical method. All these theoretical results would provide insight and pave the way for the molecular design of fluorescent probes for the detection of biothiols.

Abstract
The complete excited-state sensing mechanism of a fluorescent probe capable of distinguishing cysteine/homocysteine and glutathione from analogous biological thiols has been investigated. Using a TDDFT method, the nature of the fluorescence differences in the detection of thiols by the probe has been explained at the molecular level. Calculation results imply that the probe undergoes photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the fluorophore to the nitrobenzooxadiazole (NBD)-based acceptor in the excited state. In the presence of a thiol, the NBD moiety is cleaved and the red fluorescence emission of the fluorophore is enhanced through inhibition of the PET process. The sulfur-substituted NBD-thiol product is predisposed to undergo excited-state torsion, leading to fluorescence quenching. However, for cysteine and homocysteine, their appropriate distances lead to Smiles rearrangements with relatively low activation energies (26.60 kJ/mol and 42.94 kJ/mol, respectively) and the emission of a distinct green fluorescence at ambient temperature. It has been theoretically confirmed that the distance between two reactive sites, such as sulfhydryl and amino moieties, can be used to distinguish different thiols, thus providing rational support for the control of fluorescence activity and the design of probe molecules.

Abstract
A water-soluble turn-on fluorescent probe PNAP for pH has been designed and synthesized. PNAP was consist of pyrene as fluorophore and morpholine as receptor. Owing to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effect, the fluorescence of PNAP was quenched, while PNAP exhibited a remarkable "turn-on" fluorescence with the increase of acidity. Notably for its pKa of 2.15, PNAP was one of the pH fluorescent probes used in extremely acidic environments. Furthermore, PNAP also displayed good repeatability, strong anti-ion interference ability, high sensitivity and selectivity toward pH. In addition, PNAP has been successfully applied to the test strips and monitor the pH of environment water samples and realistic samples, showing its good promising prospect.

Abstract
A multifunctional nucleoside-based AIEgens sensor (TPEPy-dU) was constructed for visual screening of Hg2+, determine to the reversible response of Fe3+ and biothiols, and applied for cell imaging, and drug-free bacterial killing. The TPEPy-dU displayed 10-folds fluorescence enhancement at 540 nm of emission in response to trace Hg2+ ions with 10 nM of LOD, which can be immediately quenched by adding Fe3+ or GSH/Cys-containing sulfhydryl groups. Moreover, their bacterial staining efficiency closely correlates with their antibacterial efficacy as they demonstrated comparatively higher antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria. The drug-free antibacterial results involved the stating prominent surface damages at the sites of interactions between bacterial cells and TPEPy-dU that were further verified by CLSM and SEM images. It can be applied as a potential fluorescent agent to explore the related antibacterial mechanisms for treating and monitoring bacterial infections in vivo due to their nontoxic nature. Compared with conventional sensors and antibacterial therapies, these findings elevated the synthetic strategies of fluorescent probes and represented an advanced antibacterial agent wearing quaternary ammonium cationic with low resistance in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The proteolytic enzyme ficin exhibits peroxidase-like activity but it is low and insufficient for real applications. Herein, we developed ficin-copper hybrid nanoflowers and demonstrated that they have significantly enhanced peroxidase-like activity of over 6-fold higher than that of free ficin, with one of the lowest Km and highest kcat values among all reported ficin-based peroxidase-like nanozymes. This was most likely caused by the synergistic catalysis of co-existing ficin and crystalline copper phosphate within nanoflower matrices having a large surface area. The nanoflowers were easily prepared by incubating ficin and copper sulfate at ambient temperature, causing coordination interactions between ficin's amine/amide moieties and copper ions, followed by concomitant anisotropic growth of petals composed of copper phosphate crystals with ficin. When compared to free ficin and natural horseradish peroxidase, the resulting nanoflowers' affinity toward H2O2 was greatly increased, yielding Km values of half and one-tenth, respectively, as well as noticeably improved stability. The nanoflowers were then applied to colorimetric determination of biological thiols (biothiols), such as cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH), and homocysteine (Hcy), based on their inhibition of nanoflowers' peroxidase-like activity, producing reduced color intensities as the concentration of biothiols increased. This strategy achieved highly sensitive colorimetric determinations of Cys, GSH, and Hcy after only 25-min incubation. Additionally, using this technique, biothiols in human serum were successfully determined with excellent precision, suggesting the potential application of this technology in clinical settings, particularly in point-of-care testing environments.

Abstract
Single-organic-molecule fluorescent probes with double-lock or even multi-lock response modes have attracted the attention of a wide range of researchers. The number of corresponding reports has rapidly increased in recent years. The effective application of the multi-lock response mode single-molecule fluorescent probe has improved the comprehensive understanding of the related targets' functions or influences in pathologic processes. Building a highly efficient functional single-molecule fluorescent probe would benefit the diagnosis and treatment of corresponding diseases. Here, we conducted a theoretical analysis of the synthesizing and sensing mechanism of this kind of functional single-molecule fluorescent probe, thereby guiding the design and building of new efficient probes. In this work, we discuss in detail the electronic structure, electron excitation, and fluorescent character of a recently developed single-molecule fluorescent probe, which could achieve the discrimination and profiling of spontaneous reactive oxygen species (ROS, •OH, and HClO) simultaneously. The theoretical results provide insights that will help develop new tools for fluorescent diagnosis in biological and medical fields.

Abstract
Biothiols participate in numerous physiological and pathological processes in an organism. Quantitative determination and reaction monitoring of biothiols have important implications for evaluating human health. Herein, we synthesized plasmonic alloys as the matrix to assist the laser desorption and ionization (LDI) process of biothiols in mass spectrometry (MS). Plasmonic alloys were constructed with mesoporous structures for LDI enhancement and trimetallic (PdPtAu) compositions for noble metal-thiol hybridization, toward enhanced detection sensitivity and selectivity, respectively. Plasmonic alloys enabled direct detection of biothiols from complex biosamples without any enrichment or separation. We introduced internal standards into the quantitative MS system, achieving accurate quantitation of methionine directly from serum samples with a recovery rate of 103.19% ± 6.52%. Moreover, we established a rapid monitoring platform for the oxidation-reduction reaction of glutathione, consuming trace samples down to 200 nL with an interval of seconds. This work contributes to the development of molecular tools based on plasmonic materials for biothiol detection toward real-case applications.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is one of the critical gasotransmitters, which play important roles in regular physiological processes, especially in vital signaling pathways. However, fluctuations in endogenous H2S concentration can be linked to serious health problems, such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes, inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension. Thus, it has attracted a great deal of attention in therapeutic applications, specifically in the field of phototherapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are two subclasses of phototherapy, which utilize either reactive oxygen species (ROS) or local temperature increase upon irradiation of a photosensitizer (PS) to realize the therapeutic action. Phototherapies offer unique advantages compared to conventional methods; thus, they are highly promising and popular. One of the design principles followed in new generation PSs is to build activity-based PSs, which stay inactive before getting activated by disease-associated stimuli. These activatable PSs dramatically improve the selectivity and efficacy of the therapy. In this review, we summarize small molecule and nanomaterial-based PDT and PTT agents that are activated selectively by H2S to initiate their cytotoxic effect. We incorporate single mode PDT and PTT agents along with synergistic and/or multimodal photosensitizers that can combine more than one therapeutic approach. Additionally, H2S-responsive theranostic agents, which offer therapy and imaging at the same time, are highlighted. Design approaches, working principles, and biological applications for each example are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Novel fluorescent probes based on 2(1H)-quinolone skeleton containing a malonate group (Q1-Q3) were synthesized and proposed for biothiols detection. Their chemical reactivity toward thiols was compared to the reactivity of derivative having a dicyanovinyl group (Q4) as a reactive site. The detailed photophysical properties of these compounds were assessed through the determination of absorption and fluorescence spectra, fluorescence quantum yield, and fluorescence lifetime. In the presence of biothiols, an increase in the fluorescence intensity of compounds Q1-Q3 and a hypsochromic shift in their emission bands were observed. In contrast, the compound with the dicyanovinyl group (Q4) in the presence of biothiols and cyanide ion showed the quenching of fluorescence, while a fluorescence "turn on" effect was observed toward reactive sulfur species.

Abstract
Real-time imaging and monitoring of biothiols in living cells are essential for understanding pathophysiological processes. However, the design of the fluorescent probe that has accurate and repeatable real-time monitoring capabilities for these targets is highly challenging. In this study, we prepared a fluorescent sensor, Lc-NBD-Cu(II), which contains a N1, N1, N2-tris-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) ethane-1,2-diamine as a Cu(II) chelating unit and a 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole fluorophore to detect Cysteine (Cys). Emission changes promoted by addition of Cys to this probe are distinctive and correspond to a range of processes including Cys induced loss of Cu(II) from Lc-NBD-Cu(II) to form Lc-NBD, Cu(I) oxidation to reform Cu(II), Cys oxidation to form Cys-Cys, Cu(II) binding to Lc-NBD to reform Lc-NBD-Cu(II), and competitive binding of Cu(II) to Cys-Cys. The study also shows that Lc-NBD-Cu(II) maintains high stability during the sensing process and that it can be utilized over a number of detection cycles. Finally, the findings show that Lc-NBD-Cu(II) can be utilized to repetitively sense Cys in living HeLa cells.

Abstract
Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) not only plays a key role in a majority of cellular processes but also be proposed as a peroxidase-like mimic. Compared with nanozymes, GTP shows good tolerance under harsh conditions, which can be used to construct an easy colorimetric analysis for the detection of biomolecules. Here, on the basis of the peroxidase-like activity of GTP which can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl benzidine dihydrochloride (TMB), colorimetric sensing was established for biothiols and Hg2+. Biothiols reduced the oxTMB back to colorless TMB, and Hg2+ restored the formation of oxTMB, leading to the recovery of color. This method not only provides a platform for the detection of metal ions and biothiols, but also shows that GTP has great potential for analytical detection.

Abstract
Novel monometallic (μ-LL')Ru, Ru(μ-LL'), homobimetallic Ru(μ-LL')Ru, and heterodimetallic Ru(μ-LL')Os and Os(μ-LL')Ru complexes based on two asymmetrical ligands LL' (where LL' = L1L1', L2L2') have been synthesized and characterized. Spectroscopic analysis indicates that all complexes exhibit intense spin-allowed ligand-centered (LC) transitions at 288 nm and Ru-based moderate spin-allowed MLCT absorption between 440-450 nm. The Ru(μ-LL')Os and Os(μ-LL')Ru dinuclear complexes show Os-based unit absorption in the range of 565-583 nm. The Ru-based units of the complexes present different emission intensities due to differing steric hindrance at the coordination sites of the two bridging ligands. The Os(μ-LL')Ru dinuclear complexes present weaker emission intensity than their parent monometallic complexes (μ-LL')Ru. These results indicate that the emission of Os(μ-LL')Ru dinuclear complexes is quenched by the Os(II)-based units.

Abstract
Monitoring the physiological changes of organelles is essential for understanding the local biological information of cells and for improving the diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Currently, fluorescent probes are considered as the most powerful tools for imaging and have been widely applied in biomedical fields. However, the expected targeting effects of these probes are often inconsistent with the real experiments. The design of fluorescent probes mainly depends on the empirical knowledge of researchers, which was inhibited by limited chemical space and low efficiency. Herein, we proposed a novel multilevel framework for the prediction of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes by employing advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. In this way, not only the targeting mechanism could be interpreted beyond intuitions but also a quick evaluation method could be established for the rational design. Furthermore, the targeting and imaging powers of the optimized and synthesized probes based on this methodology were verified by quantitative calculation and experiments.

Abstract
A conjugated polymer-based fluorescence sensor, namely, PTNPy, was constructed on the basis of a polythiophene scaffold coupled with dimethylpyridylamine (DPA) groups in side chains for the consecutive detection and quantification of Cu2+ and Hcy in a perfect aqueous medium. A dramatic fluorescence quenching of PTNPy by the addition of Cu2+ was observed in Tris-HCl buffer solution (2 mM, pH 7.4), demonstrating a quick (<1 min) and highly selective response to Cu2+ with a low limit of detection of 6.79 nM. Subsequently, the Cu2+-quenched fluorescence of PTNPy can be completely recovered by homocysteine (Hcy), showing excellent selectivity to Hcy over other competitive species such as cysteine and glutathione. Thanks to the low cytotoxicity and lysosomal targeting ability of PTNPy, it was further applied as an optical sensor for the sequential imaging of Cu2+ and Hcy in HeLa cells. More importantly, Hcy concentration was linearly related to the fluorescence intensity of PTNPy in living cells, demonstrating huge potential for real-time monitoring the fluctuation of Hcy levels in living cells.

Abstract
Ag nanoparticle-decorated Ti3C2 nanosheets (AgNPs@Ti3C2 NSs) were facilely synthesized via a self-reduction approach, in which Ti3C2 NSs acted as both reductant and supporter. The AgNPs@Ti3C2 NS nanocomposite exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and H2O2 as substrates. The catalytic behavior followed the typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics; Michaelis constant (Km) and maximum initial velocity (Vmax) for OPD were 0.263 mM and 43.2 × 10-8 M-1 s, indicating high affinity and high catalytic efficiency towards OPD. The catalytic mechanism was revealed to be an accelerated electron transfer process. Based on the inhibition effect on the peroxidase-like activity of AgNPs@Ti3C2 NSs, a simple, fast, and sensitive colorimetric method for detection of low-weight biothiols (cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH)) was developed by measuring the absorbance at 425 nm. The colorimetric method displayed wide linear range (50 nM to 50 μM for Cys, 10 nM to 250 μM for Hcy, 10 nM to 50 μM for GSH), low limit of detection (48.5 nM for Cys, 5.5 nM for Hcy, 7.0 nM for GSH), and good selectivity and short assay time (3 min). Moreover, the feasibility of this colorimetric sensor was demonstrated by accurately determining Cys in diluted human serum samples; good recovery (95.9-101.0%) and low relative standard deviations (2.8-4.9%) were obtained, showing great promise for point-of-care test in clinical samples.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthraquinone drug used for the efficient treatment of a variety of tumors in human beings. Unfortunately, its poor biodegradability causes incomplete metabolism in the body. Therefore, it is of great significance to synthesize a sensitive and selective material for DOX detection. In this paper, we report a water-soluble Tb12 cluster and track its step-by-step formation (L → Tb1L1 → Tb2L1 → Tb2L2 → Tb3L2 → Tb4L2 → Tb12L6). Tb12 can be used to determine the presence of DOX, which quenches the luminescence of the Tb12 aqueous solution, and the detection limit can reach 13 nM (KSV = 8.7 × 105 M-1). Tb12 has advantages of high sensitivity and high selectivity for the detection of DOX in a simulated environment of human urine and serum.

Abstract
We have presented a hydrothermal approach for synthesizing fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (F-SiNPs) with yellow-green emission. The obtained F-SiNPs exhibited excellent stability and good biocompatibility. By virtue of the specific reaction between S2- and 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), colorimetric assay of S2- was realized with a good linear range of 0-100 μM. The colorimetric detection system could be further combined with F-SiNPs to construct a probe for fluorescence turn-off sensing S2- in aqueous solution due to inner filter effect. In the fluorescent detection system, a good linearity with S2- concentration in the range of 0-50 μM was accomplished. And as low as 0.1 μM S2- was successfully detected. Moreover, the F-SiNPs displayed low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility, and was further utilized for cell imaging. These results demonstrated the promising applications of F-SiNPs in S2- analysis and bioimaging.

Abstract
A pair of enantiomeric ligands, (2R,3R)-dibenzyl-2,3-bis(isonicotinoyloxy)succinate ((R,R)-L) and (2S,3S)-dibenzyl-2,3-bis(isonicotinoyloxy)succinate ((S,S)-L), are designed and synthesized. Seven copper (II) coordination polymers {[Cu((R,R)-L)Br 2 (THF)]·CH 3 CN} n ( 1a ) and {[Cu((S,S)-L)Br 2 (THF)]·CH 3 CN} n ( 1b ), {[Cu((R,R)-L)Cl 2 (THF)]·CH 3 CN} n ( 2a ) and {[Cu((S,S)-L)Cl 2 (THF)]·CH 3 CN} n ( 2b ), {[Cu((R,R)-L)(NO 3 ) 2 (CH 3 CN)]} n ( 3a ) and {[Cu((S,S)-L)(NO 3 ) 2 (CH 3 CN)]} n ( 3b ), {[Cu((R,R)-L) 2 (CH 3 CN) 2 ](ClO 4 ) 2 ·3CH 3 CN} n ( 4 ) were obtained through the assemblies with CuBr 2 , CuCl 2 ·2H 2 O, Cu(NO 3 ) 2 ·3H 2 O, Cu(ClO 4 ) 2 ·6H 2 O, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and circular dichroism analysis demonstrate that 1a-3a , 1b-3b have a mono chiral one-dimensional (1D) chain-like spiral structure, while 4 have 1D chain-like structure whose metal centers have chiral propeller coordination environment. Ligand structure, anions and solvent systems have a regulatory effect on the formation of chiral helical structure. Further investigation has proved that 1a can be used as circular dichroism spectrum probe for monitoring L-/D-cysteine and L-/D-penicillamine configuration and concentration in aqueous media based on ligand interchange mechanism.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is known to play a key role in the modulation of the redox environment in N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Coumarin derivative 1 bearing cyanoacrylamide and ifenprodil moieties was synthesized and reported to monitor GSH near NMDA receptors. The cyanoacrylamide moiety allows probe 1 to monitor GSH reversibly at pH 7.4 and the ifenprodil group acts as a directing group for NMDA receptors. Two-photon fluorescence microscopy allows probe 1 to successfully sense endogenous GSH in neuronal cells and hippocampal tissues with excitation at 750 nm. Furthermore, the addition of H2O2 and GSH induced a decrease and an increase in fluorescence emission. Probe 1 can serve as a potential practical imaging tool to get important information on GSH in the brain.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH), an abundant non-protein thiol, plays a crucial role in numerous biotic processes. Herein, a mitochondria-targeted near-infrared GSH probe (JGP) was synthesized, which displayed desired properties with high specificity and sensitivity, appreciable water solubility, and rapid response time. In the presence of GSH, nearly a 13-fold fluorescence emission growth appeared at 730 nm and the solvent color changed from blue to cyan. The sensing mechanism of JGP and GSH was confirmed by a high-resolution mass spectroscopy analysis. Moreover, good cell penetration enabled JGP to be successfully used for imaging biological samples such as HeLa cells, C. elegans, and especially rat brain slices. Imaging experiments showed that JGP could monitor the GSH concentration changes with a dose-dependent direct ratio in all the tested samples. The successful application of JGP in brain imaging indicates that JGP is a suitable GSH optical probe, which may have wide application value in fields of brain imaging. It also lays a theoretical and practical foundation for the further application of fluorescent probes in brain sciences.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 606:1219-1228.

Abstract
To minimize unwanted reactions with high concentrations of reduced glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) during chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a simple and effective strategy was developed to fabricate a TME stimuli-responsive theranostic nanomedicine (Fe-CD) for fluorescence imaging-guided GSH depletion and cancer therapy by combining fluorescent imaging carbon dots (CD) and Fe(III). Introducing Fe(III) into Fe-CD not only quenched the fluorescence of CD while reacting with and consuming intracellular GSH for fluorescence imaging of the depletion of GSH but also provided a source of metal ions to generate more abundant hydroxyl radicals (•OH) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through the Fenton reaction to improve CDT. Fe-CD showed promising •OH generation under H2O2 to effectively degrade methylene blue in vitro and obviously activate the green fluorescence of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) probe in cells. Benefiting from the fluorescence enhancement in response to TME stimulation, Fe-CD greatly enhanced CDT cytotoxicity while monitoring successful GSH depletion by fluorescence imaging. Fe-CD has the potential to act as a theranostic nanomedicine for fluorescence imaging-guided GSH depletion to amplify CDT.

Abstract
Biothiol detection is of great importance for clinical disease diagnosis. Previous nanozyme-based colorimetric sensors for biothiol detection showed unsatisfactory catalytic activity, which led to a high detection limit. Therefore, developing new nanozymes with the high catalytic activity for biothiol detection is extremely necessary. Recently, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) have attracted much attention in biosensing due to their 100% atom utilization and excellent catalytic activity. Most previous works focus on the peroxidase-like activity of Fe-based SAzymes by using unstable and destructive H2O2 as the oxidant. It is essential to develop new SAzymes with high oxidase-like activity for biosensing to break through the limitation. Herein, Co-N-C SAzymes with high oxidase-like activity are explored. Furthermore, Co-N-C SAzymes are used as a biosensor for colorimetric detection of biothiols (GSH/Cys) based on the inhibition of thiols toward the oxidase-like activity of Co-N-C SAzymes, which showed high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 0.07 µM for GSH and 0.06 µM for Cys. Besides, the method showed good reproducibility and high selectivity against other amino acids. This work offers new insights using Co-N-C SAzymes in the biosensing field.

Abstract
Detecting the fluctuation and distribution of various bioactive species in biological systems is of great importance in determining diseases at their early stages. Metal complex-based probes have attracted considerable attention in bioimaging applications owing to their unique advantages, such as high luminescence, good photostability, large Stokes shifts, low toxicity, and good biocompatibility. In this review, we summarized the development of redox-active transition metal complex-based probes in recent five years with the metal ions of iron, manganese, and copper, which play essential roles in life and can avoid the introduction of exogenous metals into biological systems. The designing principles that afford these complexes with optical or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging properties are elucidated. The applications of the complexes for bioimaging applications of different bioactive species are demonstrated. The current challenges and potential future directions of these probes for applications in biological systems are also discussed. This review summarizes transition metal complexes as bioimaging agents in optical and magnetic resonance imaging.![]()

Abstract
Two new β-diketone-boron difluoride based near-infrared fluorescent probes 1 and 2 which exhibit polarity sensitivity have been designed and synthesized. Probes 1 and 2 are composed of a β-diketone-boron difluoride moiety as an acceptor unit, and a diethylamino group and a phenolic hydroxyl group as donor units. The long conjugate structures form a "donor-acceptor-donor" configuration, induce intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), and confer near-infrared fluorescence emission and excellent polarity sensitivity. The photophysical properties of these two probes were investigated in detail. Experimental data demonstrated that as the environmental polarity decreased, the fluorescence intensity of the probes increased obviously, accompanied by a blue-shift of the maximum emission wavelength. In addition, these two probes were photostable and solely sensitive to polarity without interference from viscosity, pH and common active species. Theoretical calculations indicated that probes 1 and 2 displayed lower energy gaps and faster non-radiative decay in polar solvents. Furthermore, probes 1 and 2 were utilized to quantitatively detect the polarity of a binary mixture through the satisfactory linear relationship between the fluorescence emission intensity ratios and the orientation polarizability of the mixed solvent. Additionally, probe 1 was successfully utilized to visualize the polarity distribution of live cells. Both of these probes are perfect candidates for studying polarity in vitro and even in live systems.

Abstract
N-Methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) is an excitotoxic amino acid used to identify a specific subset of glutamate receptors. The activity of NMDA receptors is closely related to the redox level of the biological system. Glutathione (GSH) as an antioxidant plays a key role with regard to modulation of the redox environment. In this work we designed and developed a GSH-specific fluorescent probe with the capability of targeting NMDA receptors, which was composed of a two-photon naphthalimide fluorophore, a GSH-reactive group sulfonamide, and an ifenprodil targeting group for the NMDA receptor. This probe exhibited high selectivity toward GSH in comparison to other similar amino acids. Two-photon fluorescence microscopy allowed this probe to successfully monitor GSH in neuronal cells and hippocampal tissues with an excitation at 750 nm. It could serve as a potential practical imaging tool to explore the function of GSH and related biological processes in the brain.
