[PMID: 38838563 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Acute liver injury (ALI) is a frequent and devastating liver disease that has been made more prevalent by the excessive use of chemicals, drugs, and alcohol in modern life. Hypochlorous acid (HClO), an important biomarker of oxidative stress originating mainly from the mitochondria, has been shown to be intimately connected to the development and course of ALI. Herein, a novel BODIPY-based NIR ratiometric fluorescent probe Mito-BS was constructed for the specific recognition of mitochondrial HClO. The probe Mito-BS can rapidly respond to HClO within 20 s with a ratiometric fluorescence response (from 680 nm to 645 nm), 24-fold fluorescence intensity ratio enhancement (I645/I680), a wide pH adaptation range (5-9) and the low detection limit (31 nM). The probe Mito-BS has been effectively applied to visualize endogenous and exogenous HClO fluctuations in living zebrafish and cells based on its low cytotoxicity and prominent mitochondria-targeting ability. Furthermore, the fluorescent probe Mito-BS makes it possible to achieve the non-invasive in-situ diagnosis of ALI through in mice, and provides a feasible strategy for early diagnosis and drug therapy of ALI and its complications.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is a reactive oxygen species and a relatively strong antibacterial substance in the immune defense system. The normal concentration of HClO in the human body is approximately 200 μM, and its high concentration can cause tissue damage and some diseases. Herein, a chromenoquinoline-based ratiometric fluorescent probe was developed to detect and quantify HClO. The developed Probe 1 exhibited the advantages of large Stokes shift (137 nm), high synthetic yield (84.7 %), simple synthesis method, short response time (<4 min), low detection limit (5.1 nM), and low toxicity. The probe was successfully validated in live cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
The mechanism of fluorescence detection of diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP) based on 2-substituted benzothiazole (BZ-DAM) was studied by a theoretical calculation method. It should not be ignored that both the BZ-DAM and the detection product BZ-CHO have two excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) channels. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) theory were used to study the photophysical mechanism of two compounds in two channels in (acetonitrile) ACN solvent, and the temperature dependence of the two channels was given. Channel 1 is more likely to exist at low temperatures and channel 2 is more likely to exist at high temperatures. By theoretical analysis of the constructed potential energy curve, the hydrogen bond energy and electron-hole analysis, we confirmed that both molecules undergo ESIPT and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) processes in channel 1 and ESIPT and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) coupling processes in channel 2. The formation of product BZ-CHO molecules led to a significant fluorescence blue-shift phenomenon and inhibited the ICT process, which confirmed that BZ-DAM could be used as a fluorescence probe for fluorescence detection. We sincerely hope that this work will not only help to clarify the excited-state dynamics behavior of the BZ-DAM probe but also provide a new idea for designing and optimizing a new chemical dosimeter.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, drug-induced liver damage (DILI) has become a serious public health problem due to drug abuse. Among multifarious reactive oxygen species, mounting evidence attests that ClO- has been used as a potential biomarker in DILI. In this work, a new "turn-on" fluorescent probe 1 was designed and synthesized by modifying 4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4-carbonitrile (dye 2) with N, N-dimethylthiocarbamate as a response site for detecting ClO-. Probe 1 displayed a low detection limit (72 nM), fast response time (30 s), wide pH operating range (6-8), great tissue penetration, large Stokes shift (125 nm) and 291-fold fluorescence enhancement at 475 nm in the mapping of ClO-. Probe 1 could trace amounts of exogenous and endogenous ClO- with high sensitivity in MCF-7 cells and HeLa cells. Expectantly, the fluoxetine-induced liver injury model is successfully established, and probe 1 has been used for detecting the fluctuation of ClO- levels in the mouse model of fluoxetine-induced liver injury. All in all, probe 1 with its high specificity, good biological compatibility and liver tissue penetration ability is expected to assist with the early diagnosis of DILI and the clinical screening of various new drugs. We expect that probe 1 could be efficiently used as a powerful molecular tool to predict clinical DILI and explore molecular mechanisms between molecules and disease.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies in the liver with poor prognosis. In order to improve the prognosis and overall survival of patients with HCC, it is important to identify it at early stage and resect it precisely. Cell microenvironment, active compounds, and enzymes may change during the cancerization of hepatocytes. Hypochlorous acid (HClO), one of the most significant signal molecules in the cellular signaling pathway, plays an important role in many cellular processes. To detect and treat liver cancers, it is imperative to study how HClO levels change in hepatocytes. However, developing fluorescent probes specific to liver cells to detect HClO still challenging. Herein, we designed and synthesized a NIR hepatocyte-specific fluorescent probe (MBH-MT) that displayed excellent optical properties for detecting HClO in biological samples. Cell imaging experiment conducted with the unique probe MBH-MT, showed that the biocompatible sensor is capable of monitoring HClO and distinguishing normal cells from cancer cells (e.g., HepG2, HUVEC, RAW264.7, L02 and HK-2 cells). An organ imaging experiment with the probe MBH-MT demonstrated its effectiveness in diagnosing and imaging hepatocellular carcinoma in vivo. MBH-MT's in situ imaging also demonstrated that it can target and image mouse hepatocellular carcinomas. Furthermore, MBH-MT has also successfully been used to diagnose and guide liver cancer surgery early. In the future, we expect that this powerful tool may be help in the detection and imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma, which may affect a large number of people.

Abstract
Molecules undergoing excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) reactions are among the most interesting systems from spectroscopic and photophysical viewpoints. These molecules can be further functionalized with electron donating or accepting groups, inducing intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) events, which might be coupled to the ESIPT ones, conferring them with different spectroscopic and photophysical properties, which can be essential to implement the related materials in many key scientific and technological fields. Here, we report new benzimidazole derivatives that are functionalized with a phenyl group, 2-(5,10-diphenyl-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-2-yl)phenol (DP-HPPI), and its methylated equivalent, 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-5,10-diphenyl-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole (DP-MPPI). The results prove that these molecules in solutions undergo an ultrafast ICT (400-700 fs) reaction. Additionally, DP-HPPI also undergoes a reversible ESIPT process in dichloromethane. However, this is precluded in acetonitrile due to the involvement of intermolecular H-bonds in this solvent. These results provide key insights into the development of proton-transfer materials with bespoke spectral and photodynamical properties.
