Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO), a reactive nitrogen species (RNS), is essential for plant growth. However, the action of HNO in plants has been difficult to understand due to the lack of highly sensitive and real-time in-situ monitoring tools. Herein, we presented a near-infrared fluorescent probe, DCI-HNO, based on dicyanoisophorone fluorophore, for real-time mapping HNO in plants. The introduction of a phosphine moiety as a specific HNO recognition unit can inhibit the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) of probe DCI-HNO. However, in the presence of HNO, the ICT process occurred, leading to the emission at 665 nm. Probe DCI-HNO exhibited high sensitivity (97 nM), rapid response time (8 min), large Stokes shift (135 nm) for detection of HNO in plants. The novel developed probe has successfully imaged endogenous HNO produced during NO/H2S cross-talk in plant tissues. Additionally, the up-regulated in HNO levels during tobacco aging and in response to stress has been confirmed. Therefore, probe DCI-HNO has provided a reliable method for monitoring the NO/H2S cross-talk and revealing the role of HNO in plants.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) plays an important role in various physiological activities. It has the potential to be used as a treatment for certain diseases such as alcohol poisoning, acute hypertension, and atherosclerosis. However, traditional methods for detecting HNO are challenging due to its rapid polymerization and elimination into N2O. Therefore, it is crucial to establish direct and effective HNO detection methods to comprehend these physiological processes better. In this study, a new near-infrared fluorescent probe called HXM-P based on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism was designed and synthesized. This probe employs 2-((6-hydroxy-2,3dihydro-1 H-xanthen-4-yl)methylene)malononitrile as a fluorophore and 2-(diphenylphosphine) benzoate as a recognition group. The results showed that probe HXM-P can detect HNO with high sensitivity (1.07 × 10- 8 M). A good linear correlation was observed between the fluorescence intensities at 640 nm and the concentrations of HNO in the range of 0-80 µM (R2 = 0.997). Moreover, probe HXM-P exhibited a rapid response rate (within 15 s) toward HNO, and the fluorescent intensity reached a plateau within 5 min, making it easier to track the highly reactive and short-lived HNO in living systems. Additionally, HXM-P was successfully employed for imaging HNO in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) exhibits unique favorable properties in regulating biological and pharmacological activities. However, currently, there is only one Cu-based HNO sensor that can be recycled for reusable detection, which is a Cu cyclam derivative with a mixed thia/aza ligand. To elucidate the missing mechanistic origin of its high HNO reactivity and subsequent favorable conformation change toward a stable CuI product that is critical to be oxidized back by the physiological O2 level for HNO detection again, a density functional theory (DFT) computational study was performed. It not only reproduced experimental structural and reaction properties but also, more importantly, revealed an unknown role of the coordination atom in high reactivity. Its conformation change mechanism was found to not follow the previously proposed one but involve a novel favorable rotation pathway. Several newly designed complexes incorporating beneficial effects of coordination atoms and substituents to further enhance HNO reactivity while maintaining or even improving favorable conformation changes for reusable HNO detection were computationally validated. These novel results will facilitate the future development of reusable HNO sensors for true spatiotemporal resolution and repeated detection.

Abstract
Azanone (HNO, also known as nitroxyl) is the protonated form of the product of one-electron reduction of nitric oxide (•NO), and an elusive electrophilic reactive nitrogen species of increasing pharmacological significance. Over the past 20 years, the interest in the biological chemistry of HNO has increased significantly due to the numerous beneficial pharmacological effects of its donors. Increased availability of various HNO donors was accompanied by great progress in the understanding of HNO chemistry and chemical biology. This review is focused on the chemistry of HNO, with emphasis on reaction kinetics and mechanisms in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) has been identified as an important signaling molecule in biological systems, and it plays critical roles in many physiological processes. However, its detection remains challenging because of the limited sensitivity and/or specificity of existing detection methods. Low-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and imaging, coupled with the use of exogenous paramagnetic probes, have been indispensable techniques for the in vivo measurement of various physiological parameters owing to their specificity, noninvasiveness and good depth of magnetic field penetration in animal tissues. However, the in vivo detection of HNO levels by EPR spectroscopy and imaging is limited due to the need for improved probes. We report the first "turn on-response" EPR probe for HNO utilizing a Cu(ii) coordination-containing TAM radical (denoted as CuII[TD1]). Upon reaction with HNO, CuII[TD1] shows a 16.1-fold turn-on in EPR signal with a low detection limit of 1.95 μM. Moreover, low-temperature EPR spectroscopic and ESI-MS studies showed that the sensing mechanism relies on the reduction of Cu(ii) by HNO. Lastly, CuII[TD1] is selective for HNO over other reactive nitrogen and oxygen species except for some reductants (Cys and Asc). This new Cu(ii) coordination-containing TAM radical shows great potential for in vivo EPR HNO applications in the absence of reducing agents and provides insights into developing improved and targeted EPR HNO probes for biomedical applications.

Abstract
HNO (nitroxyl, azanone), joined the 'biologically relevant reactive nitrogen species' family in the 2000s. Azanone is impossible to store due to its high reactivity and inherent low stability. Consequently, its chemistry and effects are studied using donor compounds, which release this molecule in solution and in the gas phase upon stimulation. Researchers have also tried to stabilize this elusive species and its conjugate base by coordination to metal centers using several ligands, like metalloporphyrins and pincer ligands. Given HNO's high reactivity and short lifetime, several different strategies have been proposed for its detection in chemical and biological systems, such as colorimetric methods, EPR, HPLC, mass spectrometry, fluorescent probes, and electrochemical analysis. These approaches are described and critically compared. Finally, in the last ten years, several advances regarding the possibility of endogenous HNO generation were made; some of them are also revised in the present work.

Abstract
Azanone (HNO/NO-), also called nitroxyl, is a highly reactive compound whose biological role is still a matter of debate. A key issue that remains to be clarified regarding HNO and its biological activity is that of its endogenous formation. Given the overlap of the molecular targets and reactivity of nitric oxide (NO•) and HNO, its chemical biology was perceived to be similar to that of NO• as a biological signaling agent. However, despite their closely related reactivity, NO• and HNO's biochemical pathways are quite different. Moreover, the reduction of nitric oxide to azanone is possible but necessarily coupled to other reactions, which drive the reaction forward, overcoming the unfavorable thermodynamic barrier. The mechanism of this NO•/HNO interplay and its downstream effects in different contexts were studied recently, showing that more than fifteen moderate reducing agents react with NO• producing HNO. Particularly, it is known that the reaction between nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) produces HNO. However, this rate constant was not reported yet. In this work, firstly the NO•/H2S effective rate constant was measured as a function of the pH. Then, the implications of these chemical (non-enzymatic), biologically compatible, routes to endogenous HNO formation was discussed. There is no doubt that HNO could be (is?) a new endogenously produced messenger that mediates specific physiological responses, many of which were attributed yet to direct NO• effects.

Abstract
The fluorescence imaging technique has attracted increasing attention in the detection of various biological molecules in situ and in real-time owing to its inherent advantages including high selectivity and sensitivity, outstanding spatiotemporal resolution and fast feedback. In the past few decades, a number of fluorescent probes have been developed for bioassays and imaging by exploiting different fluorophores. Among various fluorophores, resorufin exhibits a high fluorescence quantum yield, long excitation/emission wavelength and pronounced ability in both fluorescence and colorimetric analysis. This fluorophore has been widely utilized in the design of responsive probes specific for various bioactive species. In this review, we summarize the advances in the development of resorufin-based fluorescent probes for detecting various analytes, such as cations, anions, reactive (redox-active) sulfur species, small molecules and biological macromolecules. The chemical structures of probes, response mechanisms, detection limits and practical applications are investigated, which is followed by the discussion of recent challenges and future research perspectives. This review article is expected to promote the further development of resorufin-based responsive fluorescent probes and their biological applications.

Abstract
Although (E)-4-(2-(4-(dicyanomethylene)-4H-chromen-2-yl)vinyl)phenolate anion (DCPO- ) has recently emerged as a potential near infrared (NIR) biosensor signaling unit, the pKa value of its conjugate acid is relatively high (∼9); this will lead to relatively low concentrations of DCPO- under physiological conditions and, hence, unsatisfactory sensitivity of DCPO- -based bio-probes. By difluoro-substitution on DCPO- , we have exploited a new fluorophore of o-FDCPO- whose conjugate acid has a much lower pKa value of 7.42. Meanwhile, o-FDCPO- is NIR emissive with λem =693 nm and has a 0.76-fold higher fluorescence efficiency than DCPO- . The significant superiority of o-FDCPO- over DCPO- in sensitivity for NIR biosensor applications was confirmed by comparative studies on two HNO probes, namely o-FDCPO-P and DCPO-P, which bear signaling units of o-FDCPO- and DCPO- , respectively. Moreover, o-FDCPO-P has been demonstrated to be a high-performance HNO probe with high selectivity, high sensitivity (detection limit: 50 nm), and a rapid response, together with a two-photon NIR-excitation imaging capability.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO)-derived species play essential roles in regulating cellular responses. Among these species, S-nitrosothiols (including RSNO and HSNO) and nitroxyl (HNO) are especially interesting. Owing to their high reactivity and short survival time, the detection of these molecules in biological settings can be challenging. In this regard, much effort has been invested in exploring novel reactions of RSNO/HSNO/HNO and applying these reactions to develop fluorescence probes. Herein, reported specific reactions of RSNO/HSNO/HNO are summarized and strategies used in the design of fluorescent probes are illustrated. The properties and potential problems of representative probes are also discussed.

Abstract
Significance: As one-electron reduced molecule of nitric oxide (NO), nitroxyl (HNO) has gained enormous attention because of its novel physiological or pharmacological properties, ranging from cardiovascular protective actions to antitumoricidal effects. Recent Advances: HNO is emerging as a new entity with therapeutic advantages over its redox sibling, NO. The interests in the chemical, pharmacological, and biological characteristics of HNO have broadened our current understanding of its role in physiology and pathophysiology. Critical Issues: In particular, the experimental evidence suggests the therapeutic potential of HNO in tumor pharmacology, such as neuroblastoma, gastrointestinal tumor, ovarian, lung, and breast cancers. Indeed, HNO donors have been demonstrated to attenuate tumor proliferation and angiogenesis. Future Directions: In this review, the generation and detection of HNO are outlined, and the roles of HNO in cancer progression are further discussed. We anticipate that the completion of this review might give novel insights into the roles of HNO in cancer pharmacology and open up a novel field of cancer therapy based on HNO.

Abstract
The free radical nitric oxide (NO•) exerts biological effects through the direct and reversible interaction with specific targets (e.g. soluble guanylate cyclase) or through the generation of secondary species, many of which can oxidize, nitrosate or nitrate biomolecules. The NO•-derived reactive species are typically short-lived, and their preferential fates depend on kinetic and compartmentalization aspects. Their detection and quantification are technically challenging. In general, the strategies employed are based either on the detection of relatively stable end products or on the use of synthetic probes, and they are not always selective for a particular species. In this study, we describe the biologically relevant characteristics of the reactive species formed downstream from NO•, and we discuss the approaches currently available for the analysis of NO•, nitrogen dioxide (NO2 •), dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3), nitroxyl (HNO), and peroxynitrite (ONOO-/ONOOH), as well as peroxynitrite-derived hydroxyl (HO•) and carbonate anion (CO3 •-) radicals. We also discuss the biological origins of and analytical tools for detecting nitrite (NO2 -), nitrate (NO3 -), nitrosyl-metal complexes, S-nitrosothiols, and 3-nitrotyrosine. Moreover, we highlight state-of-the-art methods, alert readers to caveats of widely used techniques, and encourage retirement of approaches that have been supplanted by more reliable and selective tools for detecting and measuring NO•-derived oxidants. We emphasize that the use of appropriate analytical methods needs to be strongly grounded in a chemical and biochemical understanding of the species and mechanistic pathways involved.
