Abstract
In recent years, organic fluorophores-based molecular probes with dual-fluorescence ratiometric responses to in-vitro/in-vivo pH (DFR-MPs-pH) have been attracting much interest in fundamental application research fields. More and more scientific publications have reported the exploration of various DFR-MPs-pH systems that have unique dual-fluorescence ratiometry as the signal output, in-built and signal self-calibration functions to improve precise detection of targets. DFR-MPs-pH systems possess high-performance applications in biosensing, bioimaging and biomedicine fields. This review has comprehensively summarized recent advances of DFR-MPs-pH for the first time. First of all, the compositions and types of DFR-MPs-pH are introduced by summarizing different organic fluorophores-based molecule systems. Then, construction strategies are analyzed based on specific components, structures, properties and functions of DFR-MPs-pH. Afterward, biosensing and bioimaging applications are discussed in detail, primarily referring to pH sensing and imaging detection at the levels of living cells and small animals. Finally, biomedicine applications are fully summarized, majorly involving bio-toxicity evaluation, bio-distribution, biomedical diagnosis and therapeutics. Meanwhile, the current status, challenges and perspectives are rationally commented after detailed discussions of representative and state-of-the-art studies. Overall, this present review is comprehensive, in-time and in-depth, and can facilitate the following further exploration of new and versatile DFR-MPs-pH systems toward rational design, facile preparation, superior properties, adjustable functions and highly efficient applications in promising fields.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24108947. [PMID: 37240293 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24108947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The peculiarities of the optical properties of 2-aryl-1,2,3-triazole acids and their sodium salts were investigated in different solvents (1,4-dioxane, dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO, methanol MeOH) and in mixtures with water. The results were discussed in terms of the molecular structure formed by inter- and intramolecular noncovalent interactions (NCIs) and their ability to ionize in anions. Theoretical calculations using the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) were carried out in different solvents to support the results. In polar and nonpolar solvents (DMSO, 1,4-dioxane), fluorescence was provided by strong neutral associates. Protic MeOH can weaken the acid molecules' association, forming other fluorescent species. The fluorescent species in water exhibited similar optical characteristics to those of triazole salts; therefore, their anionic character can be assumed. Experimental 1H and 13C-NMR spectra were compared to their corresponding calculated spectra using the Gauge-Independent Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method and several relationships were established. All these findings showed that the obtained photophysical properties of the 2-aryl-1,2,3-triazole acids noticeably depend on the environment and, therefore, are good candidates as sensors for the identification of analytes with labile protons.

Abstract
Due to ever-increasing insights into their fundamental properties and photochromic behaviors, spiropyran derivatives are still a target of interest for researchers. The interswitching ability of this photochrome between the spiropyran (SP) and merocyanine (MC) isoforms under external stimuli (light, cations, anions, pH etc.) with different spectral properties as well as the protonation-deprotonation of its MC form allows researchers to use it suitably in sensing purposes by developing different colorimetric and fluorometric probes. Selective and sensitive recognition can be achieved by little modification of its SP moiety and functional groups. In this review, we emphasize the recent advancements (from 2019 to 2022) of spiropyran-merocyanine based fluorogenic and chromogenic probes for selective detection of various metal ions, anions, neutral analytes, and pH. We precisely explain their design strategies, sensing mechanisms, and biological and environmental applications. This review may accelerate the improvements in designing more advanced probes with innovative applications in the near future.

Abstract
pH fluorescent probes possess many advantages, including intracellular detection, rapid response time and nondestructive testing. In this paper, a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent pH probe based on triethylenetetramine bearing double dansyl groups (1) was synthesized. This probe offers fluorescent measurement of pH value in the range of 5.81-7.21 in aqueous solution, with an 8.64-fold enhancement of fluorescent emission intensity over the unmodified probe. Probe 1 shows a fluorescent color change from a pale yellow to bright green when the pH is increased from 5.81 to 7.21. In addition, probe 1 shows good potential as a fluorescent visualizing sensor for pH values in living GS cells of epinepheluscoioides. The mechanism of the fluorescent response of probe 1 to solution pHs was further clarified by NMR, fluorescent spectra, and UV-vis absorption spectra. The results indicate that the fluorescent emission will shift with an increase in solution pHs, due to increasing deprotonation of the nitrogen atom on the sulfonamides. Deprotonation of the sulfonamide group will inhibits the intramolecular charge transfer process between the imino group and the naphthalene ring, resulting in the recognition phenomenon of blue shift and enhancement of fluorescent emission intensity.

Abstract
Long-term, in vivo, fluorescent cell tracking probes are useful for understanding complex cellular processes including tissue regeneration, communication, development, invasion, and cancer metastasis. A near-infrared fluorescent, water-soluble probe is particularly important for studying these biological events and processes. Herein, a lysosome specific, near-infrared Bodipy probe with increased fluorescent intensity in the acidic, lysosome environment is reported. This Bodipy probe is packaged in a nanoparticle using DSPE-PEG2000. The resulting nanoparticle is intravenously delivered to a tumor xenograft, where the fluorescent Bodipy becomes useful for non-invasive, long-term, in vivo fluorescent tumor imaging for periods greater than 36 days. These long-term, in vitro and in vitro tracking data indicate that the described Bodipy nanoparticles hold great potential for monitoring biological processes.
