Abstract
The development of new fluorescent probes as molecular sensors is a critical step for the understanding of molecular mechanisms. BODIPY-based probes offer versatility due to their high fluorescence quantum yields, photostability, and tunable absorption/emission wavelengths. Here, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a novel 7-azaindole-BODIPY derivative to probe hydrophobic proteins as well as protein misfolding and aggregation. In organic solvents, this compound shows two efficiently interconverting emissive excited states. In aqueous environments, it forms molecular aggregates with unique photophysical properties. The complex photophysics of the 7-azaindole-BODIPY derivative was explored for sensing applications. In the presence of albumin, the compound is stabilized in hydrophobic protein regions, significantly increasing its fluorescence emission intensity and lifetime. Similar effects occur in the presence of protein aggregates but not with other macromolecules like pepsin, DNA, Ficoll 40, and coconut oil. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) and two-photon fluorescence microscopy on breast (MCF-7) and lung (A549) cancer cells incubated with this compound display longer fluorescence lifetimes and higher emission intensity under oxidative stress. Synchrotron FTIR micro spectroscopy confirmed that the photophysical changes observed were due to protein misfolding and aggregation caused by the oxidative stress. These findings demonstrate that this compound can serve as a fluorescent probe to monitor protein misfolding and aggregation triggered by oxidative stress.

Abstract
Diabetes is a disease with a high global burden. Current strategies have failed to limit the advancement and impact of the disease. Successful early diagnosis and treatment will require the development of new agents. In this sense, boron-containing compounds have been reported as agents with the ability to reduce glycemia and lipidemia. They have also been used for labeling and measuring carbohydrates and other molecules linked to the initial stages of diabetes and its progression. In addition, certain boron compounds bind to molecules related to diabetes development and their biological activity in the regulation of elevated glycemia. Finally, it should be noted that some boron compounds appear to exert beneficial effects on diabetes complications such as accelerating wound healing while ameliorating pain in diabetic patients.

Abstract
In this contribution, we designed and synthesized a deep-red emitting distyryl-BODIPY dye (dye 3) which is non-fluorescent in aqueous solution due to the formation of non-emissive aggregates. However, in presence of an amphiphilic polymer (polystyrene sulfonate, PSS), the aggregated dye molecules de-aggregate and form dye 3-PSS complex, which significantly modulates the optical features of the bound dye. Interestingly, the dye 3-PSS complex shows turn-on fluorescence response in deep-red region in presence of protamine (Pr) due to the formation of dye 3-PSS-Pr ternary complex. Such enhancement follows a linear trend in the dynamic range of 0-8.75 μM of Pr which has been utilized to determine Pr with limit of detection (LOD) of 15.04(±0.5) nM in phosphate buffer. Furthermore, excellent selectivity of the dye 3-PSS system towards Pr allows us to determine Pr even in complex biological matrix like 1% human serum. Thus, dye 3-PSS system can be applied as a very effective tool for the detection and quantification of Pr in deep-red region, overcoming several limitations encountered with the probes in the shorter wavelength region. This is the first report on BODIPY dye based supramolecular assembly for sensing and quantification of protamine.

Abstract
The application of natural and synthetic boron-containing compounds (BCC) in biomedical field is expanding. BCC have effects in the metabolism of living organisms. Some boron-enriched supplements are marketed as they exert effects in the bone and skeletal muscle; but also, BCC are being reported as acting on the enzymes and transporters of membrane suggesting they could modify the carbohydrate metabolism linked to some pathologies of high global burden, as an example is diabetes mellitus. Also, some recent findings are showing effects of BCC on lipid metabolism. In this review, information regarding the effects and interaction of these compounds was compiled, as well as the potential application for treating human metabolic disorders is suggested.

Abstract
The aggregation of amyloid proteins is highly related to the occurrence and development of neurodegenerative and metabolic diseases. The detection of amyloid fibrils or monitoring fibrillation process would be necessary to understand the fundamental knowledge about the diseases and further facilitate the research for the drug discovery and disease treatment. In this study, three proto-berberine alkaloids, i.e. berberine, palmatine and coptisine, were examined as three distinctive fluorescent probes to detect amyloid fibrils. These three alkaloids were found to be sensitive to the microenvironment, i.e. viscosity and polarity, with varied fluorescence intensity. They could sensitively probe insulin and lysozyme fibrils with turn-on fluorescence, but did not respond to protein monomers, merited with advantages of larger Stokes shift, greenish-yellow fluorescence and no interference with the fibrillation process. Hydrophobic, electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions were explored to exist between alkaloids and the fibrils. Moreover, these alkaloids succeeded in monitoring the aggregation process of amyloid proteins in vitro and imaging the fibrils in living cells. The present study demonstrates that the three alkaloids could be the potential candidate fluorescent probes for amyloid fibrils.

Abstract
Quick and efficient detection of protein fibrils has enormous impact on the diagnosis and treatment of amyloid related neurological diseases. Among several methods, fluorescence based techniques have garnered most importance in the detection of amyloid fibrils due to its high sensitivity and extreme simplicity. Among other classes of molecular probes, BODIPY derivatives have been employed extensively for the detection of amyloid fibrils. However, there are very few studies on the relationship between the molecular structure of BODIPY dyes and their amyloid sensing activity. Here in a BODIPY based salicylaldimine Schiff base and its corresponding boron complex have been evaluated for their ability to sense amyloid fibrils from hen-egg white lysozyme using steady state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. Both dyes show fluorescence enhancement as well as increase in their excited state lifetime upon their binding with lysozyme fibrils. However, the BODIPY derivative which shows more emission enhancement in fibrillar solution has much lower affinity towards amyloid fibrils as compared to other derivative. This contrasting behaviour in the emission enhancement and binding affinity has been explained on the basis of differences in their photophysical properties in water and amyloid fibril originating from the difference in their molecular structure. Such correlation between the amyloid sensitivity and the molecular structure of the probe can open up a new strategy for designing new efficient amyloid probes.

Abstract
Self-assembly of misfolded proteins into ordered fibrillar aggregates known as amyloid results in various human diseases. However, more and more proteins, whether in human body or in food, have been found to be able to form amyloid fibrils with in-depth researches. As a model protein for amyloid research, lysozyme has always been the focus of research in various fields. Firstly, the formation mechanisms of amyloid fibrils are discussed concisely. Researches on the regulation of lysozyme amyloid fibrils are helpful to find suitable therapeutic drugs and unfriendly substances. And this review article summarizes a number of exogenous substances including small molecules, nanoparticles, macromolecules, and polymers. Small molecules are mainly connected to lysozyme through hydrophobic interaction, electrostatic interaction, π-π interaction, van der Waals force and hydrogen bond. Nanoparticles inhibit the formation of amyloid fibers by stabilizing lysozyme and fixing β-sheet. Besides, the applications of lysozyme amyloid fibrils in food-related fields are considered furtherly due to outstanding physical and mechanical properties. Nevertheless, the potential health threats are still worthy of our attention. Finally, we also give suggestions and opinions on the future research direction of lysozyme amyloid fibrils.

Abstract
Fluorescent dyes absorbing and emitting in the visible and near-IR regions are promising for the development of fluorescent probes for labeling and bio-visualization of body cells. The ability to absorb and emit in the long-wavelength region increases the efficiency of recording the spectral signals of the probes due to the higher permeability of the skin layers. Compared to other fluorescent dyes, BODIPYs are attractive due to their excellent photophysical properties-narrow absorption and emission, intense fluorescence, simple signal modulation for the practical applications. As part of conjugates with biomolecules, BODIPY could act as a biomarker, but as therapeutic agent, which allows solving several problems at once-labeling or bioimaging and treatment based on the suppression of pathogenic microflora and cancer cells, which provides a huge potential for practical application of BODIPY conjugates in medicine. The review is devoted to the discussion of the recent, promising directions of BODIPY application in the field of conjugation with biomolecules. The first direction is associated with the development of BODIPY conjugates with drugs, including compounds of platinum, paclitaxel, chlorambucil, isoxazole, capsaicin, etc. The second direction is devoted to the labeling of vitamins, hormones, lipids, and other biomolecules to control the processes of their transport, localization in target cells, and metabolism. Within the framework of the third direction, the problem of obtaining functional optically active materials by conjugating BODIPY with other colored and fluorescent particles, in particular, phthalocyanines, is being solved.

Abstract
The past decade has witnessed the growing interest and advances in aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules as driven by their unique fluorescence/optical properties in particular sensing applications including biomolecule sensing/detection, environmental/health monitoring, cell imaging/tracking, and disease analysis/diagnosis. In sharp contrast to conventional aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) fluorophores, AIE molecules possess intrinsic advantages for the study of disease-related protein aggregates, but such studies are still at an infant stage with much less scientific exploration. This outlook mainly aims to provide the first systematic summary of AIE-based molecules for amyloid protein aggregates associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Despite a limited number of studies on AIE-amyloid systems, we will survey recent and important developments of AIE molecules for different amyloid protein aggregates of Aβ (associated with Alzheimer's disease), insulin (associated with type 2 diabetes), (α-syn, associated with Parkinson's disease), and HEWL (associated with familial lysozyme systemic amyloidosis) with a particular focus on the working principle and structural design of four types of AIE-based molecules. Finally, we will provide our views on current challenges and future directions in this emerging area. Our goal is to inspire more researchers and investment in this emerging but less explored subject, so as to advance our fundamental understanding and practical design/usages of AIE molecules for disease-related protein aggregates.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and selective near-infrared fluorescent bioprobes for serum albumin detection and quantification are in high demand for biomedical applications. Herein, we report a near-infrared emitting BODIPY-O-glycoside dye as a turn-on emission sensor for serum albumin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of NIR-emitting BODIPY dyes for serum albumin sensing. Despite the various outstanding photophysical properties of the BODIPY dyes, their insolubility in water/biological media restricts their real biomedical applications. To overcome this issue, highly stable unadulterated BODIPY-O-glycoside nanoparticles (BDP-Glu-NPs) were prepared in aqueous solution by self-assembly of amphiphilic BODIPY-O-glycoside dyes. The BDP-Glu-NPs were characterized by spectroscopic, NMR, DLS and TEM studies. The ability of the BDP-Glu-NPs for the detection and quantification of serum albumin was demonstrated. It showed a 150-fold fluorescence enhancement in the presence of serum albumin, with excellent selectivity over other amino acids, porphyrin, proteins and various inorganic salts. Detection of human serum albumin (HSA) in urine samples showed that the bioprobe is applicable to a clinically significant range of the analytes with very low detection limit. These results suggested that the BDP-Glu-NPs can act as potential bioprobe to quantify albumin in biochemical and clinical samples.

Abstract
The combination of carbohydrates with BODIPY fluorophores gives rise to a family of BODIPY-carbohydrate hybrids or glyco-BODIPYs, which mutually benefit from the encounter. Thus, from the carbohydrates standpoint, glyco-BODIPYs can be regarded as fluorescent glycoconjugate derivatives with application in imaging techniques, whereas from the fluorophore view the BODIPY-carbohydrate hybrids benefit from the biocompatibility, water-solubility, and reduced toxicity, among others, brought about by the sugar moiety. In this Account we have intended to present the collection of available methods for the synthesis of BODIPY-carbohydrate hybrids, with a focus on the chemical transformations on the BODIPY core.
