Abstract
Fluorescent probe L-I was synthesized to demonstrate that 1,3,4-thiadiazole is an attractive moiety and could be utilized as positive hydrogen bond acceptor for excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes, guider of electrons movement for intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process and identify group for mental ions. Furthermore, dicyanoisophorone framework was employed to improve the fluorescence characteristics and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent emission at 695 nm accompanied by a Stoke's shift as large as 260 nm was obtained. L-I could selectively detect Cu2+ over other analytes taking advantages of high sensitivity, fast response within 30 s and low detection limit (0.026 μM). More important, L-I exhibited good performance for detection of Cu2+ in actual water samples, food products, traditional Chinese medicine and for cell imaging which demonstrates practical significance in the fields of environmental monitor, food safety and biotechnology.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) plays an indispensable role as an antioxidant in the maintenance of bioredox homeostasis. We have constructed an efficient fluorescent probe Mito-Cys based on the binding of indole and naphthol. The acrylic ester group serves as a recognition switch for specific detection of Cys, which undergoes Michael addition and intramolecular cyclization reactions, thereby ensuring the chemical kinetics priority of Cys compared to other biothiols. The probe has good water solubility, large Stokes shift (137 nm), with a detection limit of 21.81 nM. In addition, cell imaging experiments have shown that the probe has excellent mitochondrial targeting ability (R = 0.902). The probe can distinguish between Cys, homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), and can detect Cys specifically and quickly (100 s) to ensure accurate quantitative analysis of Cys changes in cells. More importantly, the probe confirms that ferroptosis inducing factors trigger thiol starvation in mitochondria, which helps to gain a deeper understanding of the physiological and pathological functions related to Cys and ferroptosis.

Abstract
Fluorescent probe technology holds great promise in the fields of environmental monitoring and clinical diagnosis due to its inherent advantages, including easy operation, reliable detection signals, fast analysis speed, and in situ imaging capabilities. In recent years, a wide range of fluorescent probes based on diverse fluorophores have been developed for the analysis and detection of various analytes, yielding significant achievement. Among these fluorophores, the dicyanoisophorone-based fluorophores have garnered significant attention. Dicyanoisoporone exhibits minimal fluorescence, yet possesses a robust electron-withdrawing capability, rendering it suitable for constructing of D-π-A structured fluorophores. Leveraging the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect, such fluorophores exhibit near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence emission with a large Stokes shift, thereby offering remarkable advantages in the design and development of NIR fluorescence probes. This review article primarily focus on small-molecule dicyanoisoporone-based probes from the past two years, elucidating their design strategies, detection performances, and applications. Additionally, we summarize current challenges while predicting future directions to provide valuable references for developing novel and advanced fluorescence probes based on dicyanoisoporone derivatives.

[PMID: 38342008 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
A fluorescent probe of both colorimetric and ratiometric type for highly selective and sensitive detection of Cys (cysteine) is very important in biological analysis. In this work, a new colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent probe ((E)-2-(2-(5-(4-(acryloyloxy)phenyl)furan-2-yl)vinyl)-3-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-3-ium iodide, LP-1) was designed and synthesized for the detection of Cys. The reaction mechanism of LP-1 toward Cys involves a conjugate addition reaction between Cys and the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group, leading to the formation of an intermediate thioether, followed by intramolecular cyclization to produce the desired compounds LP-1-OH. At this point, the ICT process is activated, significantly increasing the fluorescence intensity of the molecules. Meanwhile, LP-1 is highly selective and sensitive to Cys identification under optimized experimental conditions. LP-1 shows a good linear relationship in the range of Cys concentration from 0.40 μM to 40 μM (R2 = 0.9942) and the limit of detection (LOD) of Cys is 0.19 μM. In addition, we have developed a simple, portable and low-cost smartphone-based high-sensitivity Cys detection method based on naked eye obvious color detection. LP-1 also has low cell toxicity and can be successfully used for biological imaging of Cys, suggesting that it is a promising biological application tool for Cys detection.
