Abstract
It is crucial to identify aberrant HClO levels in living things since they pose a major health risk and are a frequent reactive oxygen species (ROS) in living organisms. In order to detect HClO in various biological systems, we created and synthesized a near-infrared fluorescent probe with an oxime group (-C = N-OH) as a recognition unit. The probe DCMP1 has the advantages of fast response (10 min), near-infrared emission (660 nm), large Stokes shift (170 nm) and high selectivity. This probe DCMP1 not only detects endogenous HClO in living cells, but also enables further fluorescence detection of HClO in living zebrafish. More importantly, it can also be used for fluorescence imaging of HClO in an rheumatoid arthritis mouse model. This fluorescent probe DCMP1 is anticipated to be an effective tool for researching HClO.

Microneedle (MN) electronics present a promising solution to overcome these tissue barriers due to their semi-invasive structures, enabling effective drug delivery and target-analyte detection without compromising the tissue configuration. Furthermore, MNs can be fabricated through solution processing, facilitating large-scale manufacturing. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the recent three-year advancements in smart MNs development, categorized as follows. First, the solution-processed technology for MNs is introduced, with a focus on various printing technologies. Subsequently, smart MNs designed for sensing, drug delivery, and integrated systems combining diagnosis and treatment are separately summarized. Finally, the prospective and promising applications of next-generation MNs within mediated diagnosis and treatment systems are discussed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in multiple physiological processes of the body involved in regulation, such as cardiovascular relaxation, neural homeostasis, and immune regulation, etc. The real-time monitoring of NO is of great significance in the investigation of related disease mechanisms and the evaluation of pharmacodynamics. Fluorescent probes are considered as a highly promising approach for pharmaceutical analysis and bioimaging due to their non-invasive character, real-time detection, and high sensitivity. However, there are still some challenges in the determination of biological nitric oxide with fluorescent probes, such as low anti-interference ability, poor function modifiability, and low organ specificity. Therefore, it would be beneficial to develop a new generation of fluorescent probes for real-time bioimaging of NO in vivo after this systematic summary.

Abstract
The practical and easy detection of dopamine levels in human fluids, such as urine and saliva, is of great interest due to the correlation of dopamine concentration with several diseases. In this work, the one-step synthesis of water-soluble carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), starting from artichoke extract, containing catechol groups, for the fluorescence sensing of dopamine is reported. Size, morphology, chemical composition and electronic structure of CNPs were elucidated by DLS, AFM, XPS, FT-IR, EDX and TEM analyses. Their optical properties were then explored by UV-vis and fluorescence measurements in water. The dopamine recognition properties of these CNPs were investigated in water through fluorescence measurements and we observed the progressive enhancement of the CNP emission intensity upon the progressive addition of dopamine, with a binding affinity value of log K = 5.76 and a detection limit of 0.81 nM. Selectivity towards dopamine was tested over other interfering analytes commonly present in human saliva. Finally, in order to perform a solid point of care test, CNPs were adsorbed on a solid support and exposed to different concentrations of dopamine, thus observing a pseudo-linear response, using a smartphone as a detector. Therefore, the detection of dopamine in simulated human saliva was performed with excellent results, in terms of selectivity and a detection limit of 100 pM.

Abstract
Vanillin is a commonly used synthetic flavoring agent in daily life. However, excessive intake of vanillin may pose risks to human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need for rapid and sensitive detection methods for vanillin. In this study, we developed a fluorescent sensor based on Cd-MOF for the sensitive and selective recognition of vanillin. The presence of vanillin leads to significant fluorescence quenching of Cd-MOF due to competitive absorption and photoinduced electron transfer (PET). The limit of detection was determined to be 39.6 nM, which is the lowest-among the reported fluorescent probes. The sensor was successfully applied for the detection of vanillin in real samples such as powdered milk and milk, with a recovery rate ranging from 96.88 % to 104.83 %. Furthermore, by immobilizing the Cd-MOF probe into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, we achieved a portable and visual detection composite materials for vanillin.

Abstract
Glyoxal (GL) is a reactive α-dicarbonyl compound generated from glycated proteins in the Maillard reaction. It has attracted particular attention over the past few years because of its possible clinical significance in chronic and age-related diseases. In this work, a reaction-based red emission fluorescent probe GL1 has been synthesized successfully by grafting an alkyl group onto an amino group to regulate its selectivity for GL. Under physiological conditions, the fluorescence intensity of GL1 at 640 nm obviously increased with the increase of GL concentration, and it exhibited high selectivity for GL over other reactive carbonyl compounds, as well as a lower detection limit (0.021 μM) and a larger Stokes shift (112 nm). At the same time, GL1 can selectively accumulate in mitochondria and can be used to detect exogenous and endogenous GL in living cells with low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcase (OGA) is implicated in several important biological and disease-relevant processes. Here, we synthesized fluorogenic probes for OGA by grafting GlcNAc directly or using a self-immolative linker to the hydroxyl position of 4-hydroxylisoindoline (BHID), a typical excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) probe. The probe was used for a fluorogenic assay to determine the half maximal inhibitory concentration of a known OGA inhibitor and differentiate between OGA and hexosaminidase when GlcNAc is replaced by GlcNPr, where a propionyl group is used instead of an acetyl group.

Abstract
The devastating COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has made society acutely aware of the urgency in developing effective techniques to timely monitor the outbreak of previously unknown viral species as well as their mutants, which could be even more lethal and/or contagious. Here, we report a fluorogenic sensor array consisting of peptides truncated from the binding domain of human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) for SARS-CoV-2. A set of five fluorescently tagged peptides were used to construct the senor array in the presence of different low-dimensional quenching materials. When orthogonally incubated with the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and its variants of concern (VOCs), the fluorescence of each peptide probe was specifically recovered, and the different recovery rates provide a "fingerprint" characteristic of each viral strain. This, in turn, allows them to be differentiated from each other using principal component analysis. Interestingly, the classification result from our sensor array agrees well with the evolutionary relationship similarity of the VOCs. This study offers insight into the development of effective sensing tools for highly contagious viruses and their mutants based on rationally truncating peptide ligands from human receptors.

Talanta 2024; 279:126561. [PMID: 39047628 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126561] [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: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious pulmonary inflammatory disease resulting from excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) which could cause the damage of the alveolar epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells. Peroxynitrite, as one of short-lived reactive oxygen species, is closely related to the process of ALI. Thus, it is important to monitor the fluctuation of peroxynitrite in living system for understanding the process of ALI. Herein, the novel mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe BHMT was designed to respond to peroxynitrite and pH with distinct fluorescence properties respectively. The absorption spectrum of the probe BHMT exhibited a notable red shift as the pH value declined from 8.8 to 2.6. Upon reaction with peroxynitrite, BHMT had a significant increase of fluorescence intensity (63-fold) with maintaining a detection limit of only 43.7 nM. Furthermore, BHMT could detect the levels of endogenous peroxynitrite and image the intracellular pH in ratiometric channels utilizing cell imaging. In addition, BHMT was successfully applied to revealing the relationship between the peroxynitrite and the extent of ALI. Thus, these results indicated the probe BHMT could be a potential tool for diagnosing the early stage of ALI and revealed the peroxynitrite was likely to be a crucial therapeutic target in ALI treatment.

[PMID: 39055141 PMCID: PMC11267558 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.4c00356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
The precise localization of metastatic tumors with subtle growth is crucial for timely intervention and improvement of tumor prognosis but remains a paramount challenging. To date, site-specific activation of fluorogenic probes for single-stimulus-based diagnosis typically targets an occult molecular event in a complex biosystem with limited specificity. Herein, we propose a highly specific site-specific cascade-activated strategy to enhance detection accuracy, aiming to achieve the accurate detection of breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis in a cascade manner. Specifically, cascade-activatable NIR fluorogenic nanomicelles HPNs were constructed using ultra-pH-sensitive (UPS) block copolymers as carriers and nitroreductase (NTR)-activated fluorogenic reporters. HPNs exhibit programmable cascade response characteristics by first instantaneous dissociating under in situ tumor acidity, facilitating deep tumor penetration followed by selective fluorescence activation through NTR-mediated enzymatic reaction resulting in high fluorescence ON/OFF contrast. Notably, this unique feature of HPNs enables high-precision diagnosis of orthotopic BC as well as its lung metastases with a remarkable signal-to-background ratio (SBR). This proposed site-specific cascade activation strategy will offer opportunities for a specific diagnosis with high signal fidelity of various insidious metastatic lesions in situ across different diseases.

Abstract
The widespread adoption of small-molecule fluorescence detection methodologies in scientific research and industrial contexts can be ascribed to their inherent merits, including elevated sensitivity, exceptional selectivity, real-time detection capabilities, and non-destructive characteristics. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on small-molecule fluorescent probes engineered with sulfur elements, aiming to detect a diverse array of biologically active species. This review presents a comprehensive survey of sulfur-based fluorescent probes published from 2017 to 2023. The diverse repertoire of recognition sites, including but not limited to N, N-dimethylthiocarbamyl, disulfides, thioether, sulfonyls and sulfoxides, thiourea, thioester, thioacetal and thioketal, sulfhydryl, phenothiazine, thioamide, and others, inherent in these sulfur-based probes markedly amplifies their capacity for detecting a broad spectrum of analytes, such as metal ions, reactive oxygen species, reactive sulfur species, reactive nitrogen species, proteins, and beyond. Owing to the individual disparities in the molecular structures of the probes, analogous recognition units may be employed to discern diverse substrates. Subsequent to this classification, the review provides a concise summary and introduction to the design and biological applications of these probe molecules. Lastly, drawing upon a synthesis of published works, the review engages in a discussion regarding the merits and drawbacks of these fluorescent probes, offering guidance for future endeavors.

Abstract
Organelle selective fluorescent probes, especially those capable of concurrent detection of specific organelles, are of benefit to the research community in delineating the interplay between various organelles and the impact of such interaction in maintaining cellular homeostasis and its disruption in the diseased state. Although very useful, such probes are synthetically challenging to design due to the stringent lipophilicity requirement posed by different organelles, and hence, the lack of such probes being reported so far. This work details the synthesis, photophysical properties, and cellular imaging studies of two bora-diaza-indacene based fluorescent probes that can specifically and simultaneously visualise lipid droplets and endoplasmic reticulum; two organelles suggested having close interactions and implicated in stress-induced cellular dysfunction and disease progression.

Abstract
The identification and detection of disease-related biomarkers is essential for early clinical diagnosis, evaluating disease progression, and for the development of therapeutics. Possessing the advantages of high sensitivity and selectivity, fluorescent probes have become effective tools for monitoring disease-related active molecules at the cellular level and in vivo. In this review, we describe current fluorescent probes designed for the detection and quantification of key bioactive molecules associated with common diseases, such as organ damage, inflammation, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and brain disorders. We emphasize the strategies behind the design of fluorescent probes capable of disease biomarker detection and diagnosis and cover some aspects of combined diagnostic/therapeutic strategies based on regulating disease-related molecules. This review concludes with a discussion of the challenges and outlook for fluorescent probes, highlighting future avenues of research that should enable these probes to achieve accurate detection and identification of disease-related biomarkers for biomedical research and clinical applications.

Abstract
Depression is a debilitating mental illness that poses a serious threat to human health. Nitric Oxide (NO), as an important gasotransmitter, is closely associated with the pathogenesis of depressive disorders. Effective monitoring of NO fluctuation is beneficial for the diagnosis of depression and therapy assessment of antidepressants. Currently, there is a lack of effective methods for rapidly and sensitively identifying NO and elucidating its relationship with depression diseases. Herein, we developed a NIR dye TJ730-based fluorescent probe TJ730-Golgi-NO incorporating benzenesulfonamide as a Golgi-targeted moiety and the thiosemicarbazide group for NO detection. The probe exhibited turn-on fluorescence ability and a large Stokes shift of 158 nm, which shows high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response (<1 min) for NO detection. TJ730-Golgi-NO could detect exogenous and endogenous NO in cells stimulated by Glu and LPS, and target Golgi apparatus. Moreover, we disclose a significant increase of NO in the depression model and a weak fluorescence evidenced in the fluoxetine-treated depression mice. This study provides a competent tool for studying the function of NO and helping improve the effective treatment of depression diseases.

Abstract
In-based halide perovskites have attracted a lot of attention because of their unique broadband emission properties. Herein, a series of In-based hybrid perovskites of (H2MP)2InCl7·H2O (1), (H2EP)2InCl7·H2O (2), (H2MP)2InBr7·H2O (3), and (H2EP)2InBr7·H2O (4) were synthesized under the control of halogen ions and organic cations. 1, 2, and 4 exhibit obvious photoluminescence properties with peaks at 392, 442, and 652 nm, respectively. The effects of the different components on the crystal structure and photoluminescence properties are discussed by calculating the structural distortion of the [InX6]3- octahedron. The photoluminescence properties of 1 and 4 were significantly improved after Sb3+ doping with PLQY values of 57.12 and 41.53%. Finally, a white LED was successfully fabricated with the two doped compounds coated onto the 365 nm blue LED chip.

Abstract
A significant compound in living organisms, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a dual role as a signalling molecule in cellular communication and as a pivotal biomarker in assessing disease and oxidative stress. Thus, the detection of abnormal changes in H2O2 levels is essential to understanding its function and involvement in biological systems. The growing demand to meet the specific needs for applications, particularly in biological systems, has sharpened focus on highly sensitive, highly selective molecular sensors and, in turn, heightened interest in these diagnostic tools with innovative designs. In our study, 2-aminophenalenone (2-AP) was used for the first time as a fluorophore in a fluorescent probe. The 2-APB molecule obtained from the reaction of 2-AP with 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl) benzyl chloroformate exhibited a highly selective and sensitive (i.e. 62 nM) detection profile for H2O2 compared with the other reactive oxygen species, anions, and metal cations. Moreover, offering naked-eye detection in aqueous solutions, 2-APB demonstrated excellent sensing performance, detection and real-time monitoring in relation to exogenous H2O2 in cells and endogenous H2O2 in zebrafish embryos.

Abstract
The detection of pH and glutathione (GSH) is positively significant for the cell microenvironment imaging. Here, to assess the pH value and the concentration of GSH efficiently and visually, a cellulose-based multi-bands ratiometric fluorescence probe was designed by assembling MnO2-modified cellulose gold nanoclusters, fluorescein isothiocyanate-grafted cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and protoporphyrin IX-modified CNCs. The probe exhibits GSH-responsive, pH-sensitive and GSH/pH-independent fluorescent properties at 440 nm, 520 nm, and 633 nm, respectively. Furthermore, the probe identifies GSH within 4 s by degrading MnO2 into Mn2+ in response to GSH. Ingeniously, the green fluorescence of the probe at 520 nm was decreased with pH, and the red fluorescence at 633 nm remained stable. Therefore, the probe displayed distinguishing fluorescence colors from pink to blue and from green to blue for the synchronous detection of pH and GSH concentration within 4 s. The design strategy provides insights to construct multi-bands fluorescence probes for the rapid detection of multiple target analytes.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients are at an elevated risk for life-threatening myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Early-stage nonradioactive and noninvasive diagnosis of AMI is imperative for the subsequent disease treatment, yet it presents substantial challenges. After AMI, the myocardium typically exhibits elevated levels of peroxynitrite (ONOO-), constituting a distinct microenvironmental feature. In this context, the near-infrared imaging probe (BBEB) is employed to precisely delineate the boundaries of AMI lesions with a high level of sensitivity and specificity by monitoring endogenous ONOO-. This probe allows for the early detection of myocardial damage at cellular and animal levels, providing exceptional temporal and spatial resolution. Notably, BBEB enables visualization of ONOO- level alterations during AMI treatment incorporating antioxidant drugs. Overall, BBEB can rapidly and accurately visualize myocardial injury, particularly in the early stages, and can further facilitate antioxidant drug screening.

The development of logic gate-based fluorescent probes that respond to intracellular hydrogen peroxide and pH in tandem. Talanta 2024; 270:125526. [PMID: 38091748 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125526] [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: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
Logic gate-based fluorescent probes are powerful tools for the discriminative sensing of multiple signaling molecules that are expressed in concert during the progression of many diseases such as inflammation, cancer, aging, and other disorders. To achieve logical sensing, multiple functional groups are introduced to the different substitution sites of a single fluorescent dye, which increases the complexity of chemical synthesis. Herein, we report a simple strategy that incorporates just one responsive unit into a hemicyanine dye achieving the logic gate-based sensing of two independent analytes. We introduce boronic acid to hemicyanine to quench the fluorescence, and in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the fluorescence is recovered due to removal of the boronate. Interestingly, the subsequent decrease in pH turned the red fluorescence of hemicyanine to green emissive because of protonation of the phenolic alcohol. This unique feature of the probe enables us to construct "INHIBIT" and "AND" logical gates for the accurate measuring of intracellular H2O2 and acidic pH in tandem. This study offers insight into the simple construction of logic-gate based fluorescent probes for the tandem sensing of multiple analytes that are correlatively produced during disease progression.

Abstract
Many important biological species have been identified as cancer biomarkers and are gradually becoming reliable targets for early diagnosis and late therapeutic evaluation of cancer. However, accurate quantitative detection of cancer biomarkers remains challenging due to the complexity of biological systems and the diversity of cancer development. Fluorescent probes have been extensively utilized for identifying biological substances due to their notable benefits of being non-invasive, quickly responsive, highly sensitive and selective, allowing real-time visualization, and easily modifiable. This review critiques fluorescent probes used for detecting and imaging cancer biomarkers over the last five years. Focuses are made on the design strategies of small-molecule and nano-sized fluorescent probes, the construction methods of fluorescence sensing and imaging platforms, and their further applications in detection of multiple biomarkers, including enzymes, reactive oxygen species, reactive sulfur species, and microenvironments. This review aims to guide the design and development of excellent cancer diagnostic fluorescent probes, and promote the broad application of fluorescence analysis in early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Chronic wound healing is one of the most complicated biological processes in human life, which is also a serious challenge for human health. During the healing process, multiple biological pathways are activated, and various kinds of reactive oxygen species participate in this process. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) involves in chronic wounds and its concentration is fluctuated in different pathological stages during the wound healing process. Therefore, H2O2 may be recognized as a powerful biomarker to indicate the wound healing process. However, the pathological roles of H2O2 cannot be fully understood yet. Herein, we proposed a near-infrared fluorescent probe DCM-H2O2 for highly sensitive and rapid detection of H2O2 in living cells and scald and incision wound mice models. DCM-H2O2 exhibited a low detection limit and high specificity with low cytotoxicity for H2O2, which had great potential for its application in vivo. The probe was successfully utilized to monitor the fluctuation of endogenous H2O2 in the proliferation process of human immortalized epidermal (HACAT) cells, which confirmed that H2O2 participated in the cells' proliferation activity through a growth factor signaling pathway. In the scald and incision wound mice models, H2O2 concentration fluctuations at different pathological stages during the wound healing process could be obtained by in vivo fluorescence imaging. Finally, H2O2 concentrations in different stages of human diabetic foot tissues were also confirmed by the proposed probe. We expect that H2O2 could be a sensitive biomarker to indicate the wound healing process.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), a chemically defined group of reactive molecules derived from molecular oxygen, are involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including immune defense, cellular metabolism, and other physiological processes. To access their detailed function in these processes, it is critical to establish rapid, accurate and in situ assays for these species in vivo. Among the potential assays, fluorescent probes are considered as the most promising candidate to monitor the biological ROS in vivo with great spatial and temporal resolution and are extensively used as an excellent tool in modern redox biology discovery. Recently, abundant fluorescent probes have been successively developed for in vitro or intracellular detection of ROS, but most of them could not be used for in vivo imaging due to their intrinsic shortcomings such as short emission wavelengths, phototoxicity and poor tissue penetration. Recent development of fluorescent ROS probes with near-infrared emission aim to address these concerns to develop practical assays. Herein, we review recent developments of ROS-sensitive near-infrared fluorescent probes, with an emphasis on the design, synthesis, characteristics of fluorescent probes, as well as their applications. We hope this review will aid the development of a new generation of efficient, sensitive and biocompatible fluorescent probes for in vivo ROS detection.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a common reactive oxygen species (ROS) associated with the development of liver, tumor, inflammatory, and other diseases. In this work, the turn-on fluorescent probe named (WZ-HOCl) with a naphthalimide structure was designed and synthesized to detect endogenous HOCl in disease models. WZ-HOCl can achieve a fast response to HOCl with good linearity in the range of 0-45 μM (LOD = 147 nM). The application of WZ-HOCl in bioimaging was investigated by constructing a series of cellular disease models, and the results showed that WZ-HOCl could sensitively detect endogenous HOCl in inflammatory and liver disease models. It can also be used to differentiate between hepatocytes and hepatoma cells. WZ-HOCl will provide new methods and ideas for fluorescent probes in detecting drug-induced liver injury, alcoholic and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and some inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the most common cause for acute liver failure in the USA and Europe. However, most of DILI cases can recover or be prevented if treatment by the offending drug is discontinued. Recent research indicates that peroxynitrite (ONOO-) can be a potential indicator to diagnose DILI at an early stage. Therefore, the establishment of an assay to detect and track ONOO- in DILI cases is urgently needed. Here, a FRET-based ratiometric nano fluorescent probe CD-N-I was developed to detect ONOO- with high selectivity and excellent sensitivity. This probe consists of carbon dots and a naphthalimide-isatin peroxynitrite sensing system assembled based on electrostatic interactions. Using CD-N-I we were able to detect exogenous ONOO- in live cells and endogenous ONOO- in APAP-induced liver injury of HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Fever is the result of inflammation and the innate self-defense response of organisms, can cause abnormal changes in the activity of many enzymes in organisms, including the important carboxylesterase (CE). Monitoring the activity changes of CE in vivo during a fever will help to understand heat-related pathological mechanisms. In this paper, we designed diketopyrrolopyrrole-based ratiometric fluorescent probes DPP-FBC-P and DPP-FBO-P containing alkyl chain and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether chain respective for detection of CE. Both probes could realized fast response to CE and displayed good selectivity and high sensitivity. Compared with DPP-FBO-P, DPP-FBC-P had better biocompatibility, larger signal to noise ratio (225-fold vs 125-fold) and lower detection limit (1.6 × 10-5 U/mL vs 4.2 × 10-5 U/mL). Moreover, the probe DPP-FBC-P had been successfully applied to image the endogenous CE in HepG2 cells and solid tumors, and also visualized the over expressed CE in fever cells. Most importantly, the changes of CE level in the liver of fever mice model induced by LPS were monitored with the assistance of DPP-FBC-Pvia dual channel ratio imaging for the first time. In addition, fluorescence color signal in solution was captured by smart phone, and the linear relationship between RGB ratio (G/R) and CE concentration was established. This work will provide a potential approach for investigating the physiological and pathological processes of heat related diseases.

Abstract
H2O2 is an important signaling molecule in the body, and its levels fluctuate in many pathological sites, therefore, it can be used as a biomarker for early diagnosis of disease. Since the environment in vivo is extremely complex, it is of great significance to develop a probe that can accurately monitor the fluctuation of H2O2 level without interference from other physiological processes. Based on this, we designed and synthesized two new near-infrared H2O2 fluorescent probes, LTA and LTQ, based on the ICT mechanism. Both of them have good responses to H2O2, but LTA has a faster response speed. In addition, the probe LTA has good biocompatibility, good water solubility, and a large Stokes shift (95 nm). The detection limit is 4.525 μM. The probe was successfully used to visually detect H2O2 in living cells and zebrafish and was successfully used to monitor the changes in H2O2 levels in zebrafish due to APAP-induced liver injury.

Abstract
Fluoride is both necessary and potentially harmful in excessive amounts, making its detection crucial. Fluorescent probes provide a sensitive and selective means for this purpose. In this study, we developed and synthesized a fluorescent probe for LDT using phenothiazine derivatives and aryl vinyl nitrile. Initially non-fluorescent, the probe undergoes a Si-O bond breakage in the presence of fluoride ions, resulting in the formation of a larger conjugated system and subsequent fluorescence emission. The probe exhibits superior selectivity and sensitivity towards fluoride ions, with a detection limit of 0.35 µM. Moreover, cellular imaging experiments demonstrated the probe's effectiveness in recognizing fluoride ions within HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Al3+ is commonly utilized in daily life, however, the excessive accumulation of Al3+ within organisms can result in severe health problems. Herein, a highly efficient fluorescent probe EC-HTC for Al3+ was synthesized through chemical modification of ethyl cellulose. This probe exhibited a significant fluorescence enhancement response to Al3+, and it interestingly also possessed an obvious aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect. The detection limit of probe EC-HTC for Al3+ was as low as 0.23 μM, and its pH usage range was as wide as 5-10. The complexation ratio of EC-HTC with Al3+ was determined to be 1:1 based on Job's plot, which was further confirmed by 1H NMR titration and HRMS analysis. Moreover, the probe EC-HTC was successfully employed for the determination of Al3+ in environmental and food samples. In addition, the probe EC-HTC compositing PS (polystyrene) electrostatic spun fiber membranes EHP with high specific surface area were prepared to achieve the rapid and portable detection of Al3+.

Abstract
We report a fluorescent dye TM by incorporating the tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and cholesterol components into perylene bisimides (PBI) derivative. Fluorescence emission spectrum shows that the dye has stable red emission and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. The incorporation of cholesterol components triggers TM to show induced chirality through supramolecular self-assembly. The cRGD-functionalized nanoparticles were prepared by encapsulating fluorescent dyes with amphiphilic polymer matrix. The functionalized fluorescent organic nanoparticles exhibit excellent biocompatibility, large Stokes' shift and good photostability, which make them effective fluorescent probes for targeting cancer cells with high fluorescence contrast.

Abstract
Although hydrazine (N2H4) is a versatile chemical used in many applications, it is toxic, and its leakage may pose a threat to both human health and environments. Consequently, the monitoring of N2H4 is significant. This study reports a one-step synthesis for coumarin-based ratiometric fluorescent probe (FP) CHAC, with acetyl as the recognition group. Selected deprotection of the acetyl group via N2H4 released the coumarin fluorophore, which recovered the intramolecular charge transfer process, which caused a prominent fluorescent, ratiometric response. CHAC demonstrated the advantages of high selectivity, a strong capacity for anti-interference, a low limit of detection (LOD) (0.16 μM), a large linear detection range (0-500 μM), and a wide effective pH interval (6-12) in N2H4 detection. Furthermore, the probe enabled quantitative N2H4 verifications in environmental water specimens in addition to qualitative detection of N2H4 in various soils and of gaseous N2H4. Finally, the probe ratiometrically monitored N2H4 in living cells having low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The conformational motions of enzymes are crucial for their catalytic activities, but these fluctuations are usually spontaneous and unsynchronized and thus difficult to obtain from ensemble-averaged measurements. Here, we employ label-free single-entity electrochemical measurements to monitor in real time the fluctuating enzymatic behavior of single catalase molecules toward the degradation of hydrogen peroxide. By probing the electrochemical signals of single catalase molecules at a carbon nanoelectrode, we were able to observe three distinct current traces that could be attributed to conformational changes on the sub-millisecond timescale. Whereas, nearly uniform single long peaks were observed for single catalase molecules under a moderate magnetic field due to the restricted conformational changes of catalase. By combining high-resolution current signals with a multiphysics simulation model, we studied the catalytic kinetics of catalase with and without a magnetic field, and further estimated the maximum catalytic rate and conformational transition rate. This work introduces a new complementary approach to existing single-molecule enzymology, giving further insight into the enzymatic reaction mechanism.

Abstract
The development of a sensitive method for early cancer diagnosis is very important because the early diagnosis of cancer is crucial in preventing the spread of cancer cells and improving patient survival rates. Recent studies showed that cancer cell membranes have lower polarity than normal cell membranes, which provides a new approach for cancer diagnosis at the cell membrane level. We developed herein a highly sensitive cell membrane polarity probe (Cal-M) for early diagnosis of cancer. This probe has low cytotoxicity, good photostability, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence emission (>700 nm), large Stokes shift, high sensitivity for polarity, excellent cell membrane localization performance, and the ability to selectively light up cancer cells. Using this probe staining, the fluorescence of cancer cells is ∼63 times higher than that of normal cells, demonstrating excellent sensitivity and selectivity of Cal-M. This probe was also successfully used to detect polarity changes on cancer cell membranes and selectively visualize tumors in mice. Notably, the tumor could be visualized sensitively with a size as small as 1.37 mm3, indicating that Cal-M is promising for early diagnosis of tumors.

Abstract
Viscosity and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) are two significant indicators to affect and evaluate the mitochondrial functional status, which are nearly relational with pathophysiological process in many diseases. Developing suitable analytical methods for monitoring mitochondrial viscosity changes and ONOO- is thus of great importance. In this research, a new mitochondria-targeted sensor DCVP-NO2 for the dual determination of viscosity and ONOO- was exploited based on the coumarin skeleton. DCVP-NO2 displayed a red fluorescence "turn-on" response toward viscosity along with about 30-fold intensity increase. Meanwhile, it could be used as ratiometric probe for detection of ONOO- with excellent sensitivity and extraordinary selectivity for ONOO- over other chemical and biological species. Moreover, thanks to its good photostability, low cytotoxicity and ideal mitochondrion-targeting capability, DCVP-NO2 was successfully utilized for fluorescence imaging of viscosity variations and ONOO- in mitochondria of living cells through different channels. In addition, the results of cell imaging revealed that ONOO- would lead to the increase of viscosity. Taken together, this work provides a potential molecular tool for researching biological functions and interactions of viscosity and ONOO- in mitochondria.

Abstract
With the widespread use of drugs, drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) has become an increasingly serious health concern worldwide. Currently, early diagnosis of drug-induced AKI remains challenging because of the lack of effective biomarkers and noninvasive imaging tools. SO2 plays important physiological roles in living systems and is an important antioxidant for maintaining redox homeostasis. However, the relationship between SO2 (in water as SO32-/HSO3-) and drug-induced AKI remains largely unknown. Herein, we report the highly sensitive near-infrared fluorescence probe DSMN, which for the first time reveals the relationship between SO2 and drug-induced AKI. The probe responds to SO32-/HSO3- selectively and rapidly (within seconds) and shows a significant turn-on fluorescence at 710 nm with a large Stokes shift (125 nm). With these properties, the probe was successfully applied to detect SO2 in living cells and mice. Importantly, the probe can selectively target the kidneys, allowing for the detection of changes in the SO2 concentration in the kidneys. Based on this, DSMN was successfully used to detect cisplatin-induced AKI and revealed an increase in the SO2 levels. The results indicate that SO2 is a new biomarker for AKI and that DSMN is a powerful tool for studying and diagnosing drug-induced AKI.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with increased viscosity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. As an effective antioxidant, sulfur dioxide (SO2) can actively scavenge excess ROS to regulate the redox state and protect cells from oxidative stress. However, few studies have evaluated the connection between viscosity and SO2 during mitochondrial dysfunction. Herein, a water-soluble fluorescent probe (MBI) is designed and synthesized for dual-detecting SO2 and viscosity. The probe rapidly detects SO2 within 12 s based on Michael's addition reaction. Meanwhile, increasing viscosity further inhibits the intramolecular rotation, causing the probe to show a greatly enhanced fluorescence. Probe MBI possesses mitochondria targeting capability due to its quaternary ammonium salt. More importantly, probe MBI successfully supports SO2 and viscosity imaging in living cells and can effectively monitor them during mitochondrial dysfunction and cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) has been implicated in numerous pathologies associated with an inflammatory component, but its selective and sensitive detection in biological settings remains a challenge. In this report, imaging of HOCl was realized with a thiomorpholine-based probe as derivative of nitrobenzothiadiazole (NBD-S-TM). The fluorescence is based on photoinduced electron transfer by using nitrobenzothiadiazole core as a donor and thiomorpholine substituent as an acceptor. NBD-S-TM showed high sensitivity and a fast response to HOCl k = (2.6 ± 0.2) × 107 M-1s-1 with a 1:1 stoichiometry. The detection limit for HOCl was determined to be 60 nM. Furthermore, the desirable features of NBD-S-TM for the detection of HOCl in aqueous solutions, such as its reliability at physiological pH, rapid fluorescence response, and biocompatibility, enabled its application in the detection of HOCl in myeloperoxidase enzymatic system. Moreover, NBD-S-TM exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity for HOCl over other biologically relevant species, such as hydrogen peroxide and peroxynitrite. The fluorescent S-oxidized product (NBD-S-TSO) is only formed in the presence of HOCl. Probing with NBD-S-TM may be helpful to further the development of high throughput screening assays to monitor the activity of myeloperoxidase.

Abstract
Considering that carbon monoxide is both a vital gasotransmitter and an obnoxious gas, tremendous efforts have been dedicated toward its recognition through various methods. However, the fluorescent light-up approach through the exploration of optical markers remains one of the most convenient methods owing to its several advantages. Amongst the different approaches towards the development of CO responsive optically active molecular markers, the Tsuji-Trost reaction-based CO recognition strategy has remained one of the most significant areas of interest across researchers working in this field. However, there have been no attempts to exclusively summarize the commendable work done in this area yet. The current review, therefore, attempts to summarize the developments of various optical probes following this reaction strategy until the year 2022. This review provides detailed mechanistic insights into the Tsuji-Trost mediated CO detection strategy. Besides, discussions on the strategic development and employment of probes based on various allyl derivatives - allyl carbamate/carbonate/ethers - will provide a thorough understanding of the detection method. The significant advancements of the Tsuji-Trost reaction as an interesting strategy that is accepted and extensively explored for monitoring CO in various media including air, aqueous solutions and living systems have been elaborately discussed. Various potential applications and utilization of these developed fluorogenic probes for tracing CO in different living systems have been examined systematically. Moreover, monitoring of exogenous/endogenous CO levels, modulation of intracellular CO concentration under various induced conditions and bioimaging of CO in in vivo models have also been detailed here. Briefly, this review summarizes the current prospects of this detection method and the future directions in related fields.

Abstract
Currently, kinase inhibitors have been applied in the diagnosis or treatment of cancer with their unique advantages. It is of great significance to develop some comprehensive theranostic reagents based on kinase inhibitors to improve the performance of reagents for biomedical applications. Besides, tracking changes in the intracellular environment (e.g., pH) during cancer development and drug delivery is also critical for cancer research and treatment. Therefore, it is an urgent desire to design some novel multifunctional reagents based on kinase inhibitor strategies that can trace changes in the microenvironment of cancer cells. In this paper, a multifunctional theranostic reagent based on Pim-1 kinase inhibitor 5-bromobenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid is proposed. The theranostic probe binds to tumor-specific Pim-1 kinase, releases strong fluorescence, and produces cytotoxicity, thus achieving cell screening and killing effects. Furthermore, the probe can specifically target lysosomes and sensitively respond to pH. It can be used to track the pH changes in the intracellular environment under conditions of autophagy and external stimulation, as a visual tool to monitor pH fluctuations during cancer treatment. In conclusion, this simple but multifunctional theranostic reagent proposed in this work is expected to provide a promising method for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
A new design concept for pH-sensing supramolecular fluorescent probes is reported. Supramolecular fluorescent pH probes based on pro-guest are designed and prepared. Pro-guests are designed to degrade under acidic condition and convert to competitive guests to displace encapsulated dyes, which leads to a significant enhancement in fluorescence intensity. A library of potential fluorescent pH probes is generated and screened to discover workable probes. These probes are capable of detecting the acidic pH in solution phase. We confirm that these supramolecular probes could detect the acidic environment in endosomal compartments in live cells.

Abstract
At present, few genetically encoded fluorescent probes are currently available for the analysis of toxic heavy metal ions, and most have poor performance that cannot meet the requirements of sensitive and dynamic detection in living cells. In this study, we designed a single fluorescent protein-based probe sfGFP-MerBD, which can specifically response to Hg2+ with high binding affinity and wide dynamic range. More importantly, the developing probe can timely and reversibly monitor changes of Hg2+ concentration in living mammalian cells. The excellent performance of this probe is largely due to the recognition element of the probe, MerBD, which adopts an unusual planar trigonometric coordination configuration with Hg2+, and the coordination can cause enough conformational change to influence the fluorescence of skeleton protein sfGFP coupled with it. The small peptide MerBD was delicately designed based on the three-dimensional structure of metalloprotein MerR. This novel design strategy solves the challenging problems that there are few natural functional proteins in the process of constructing fluorescent probes for toxic metal ions and some functional proteins cannot be directly used as recognition elements. Based on the new strategy, more genetically encoded fluorescent probes of toxic heavy metal ions can be efficiently constructed and applied in the future.

Simultaneous detection of mitochondrial viscosity and peroxynitrite in livers from subjects with drug-induced fatty liver disease using a novel fluorescent probe. Talanta 2023; 260:124591.

Abstract
Drug-induced fatty liver disease (DIFLD) is a basic clinicopathological example of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Some drugs can inhibit β-oxidation in hepatocyte mitochondria, leading to steatosis in the liver. Additionally, drug-induced inhibition of β-oxidation and the electron transport chain (ETC) can lead to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as peroxynitrite (ONOO-). Therefore, it is reasonable to suspect that compared to a healthy liver, viscosity and ONOO- levels are elevated in livers during DIFLD. A novel, smart, dual-response fluorescent probe-Mito-VO-was designed and synthesized for the simultaneous detection of viscosity and ONOO- content. This probe had a large emission shift of 293 nm and was capable of monitoring the viscosity of, and the ONOO- content in, cell and animal models alike, either individually or simultaneously. For the first time, Mito-VO was successfully used to demonstrate the elevated viscosity and the amount of ONOO- in livers from mice with DIFLD.

Abstract
Chemical tools capable of classifying multidrug-resistant bacteria (superbugs) can facilitate early-stage disease diagnosis and help guide precision therapy. Here, we report a sensor array that permits the facile phenotyping of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a clinically common superbug. The array consists of a panel of eight separate ratiometric fluorescent probes that provide characteristic vibration-induced emission (VIE) profiles. These probes bear a pair of quaternary ammonium salts in different substitution positions around a known VIEgen core. The differences in the substituents result in varying interactions with the negatively charged cell walls of bacteria. This, in turn, dictates the molecular conformation of the probes and affects their blue-to-red fluorescence intensity ratios (ratiometric changes). Within the sensor array, the differences in the ratiometric changes for the probes result in "fingerprints" for MRSA of different genotypes. This allows them to be identified using principal component analysis (PCA) without the need for cell lysis and nucleic acid isolation. The results obtained with the present sensor array agree well with those obtained using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of hydroxyl-radical (˙OH) responsive fluorescent probes that utilise the 3,5-dihydroxybenzyl (DHB) functionality. 4-Methylumbeliferone-DHB (Umb-DHB) and resorufin-DHB (Res-DHB) in the presence of ˙OH radicals resulted in significant increases in their respective fluorescent emission intensities at 460 nm and 585 nm. The incubation of Res-DHB in HeLa cells followed by therapeutic ultrasound (1 MHz) resulted in a significant increase in fluorescence emission intensity thus permitting the ability to monitor ultrasound-induced ˙OH production in live cells.

Abstract
A novel ratiometric fluorescent tyrosinase assay is developed based on hybrid nano-assembly of gold nanocluster and tyrosine-containing peptides. The AuNCs@YCY nano-probe (AYNP) is fabricated through the hydrophobic interactions and π-π stacking between the tyrosine residues of the Tyr-Cys-Tyr tripeptide (YCY) and the ligands on the surfaces of AuNCs under the near-isoelectric pH value. The resulted AYNP shows distinct fluorescence responses, spontaneous turn-on of the blue emission and turn-off of the near-infrared emission, with a single wavelength excitation. It is demonstrated that the enhancement and quenching are due to the production of pheomelanin and dopaquinone structures, respectively, induced by tyrosinase oxidation. The internal referencing system provides the tyrosinase assay with superior sensitivity and a detection limit as low as 6.3 U L-1 could be achieved. The experimental results also demonstrate the excellent selectivity, good photo-stability, and both in vitro and cellular applications of AYNP. This assay technique is low-cost, easy to prepare, and shows excellent potential as a novel melanoma clinical diagnostic platform and a tyrosinase inhibitor screening tool.

Abstract
Continuous emergence of persistent organic pollutants perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) in various water bodies around the world poses a serious threat to the global ecosystem. The exploration of advanced detection/removal techniques to monitor/treat such type of toxicants is urgently required. Herein, we unveiled a donor-acceptor type conjugated polymer PF-DBT-Im as a first-of-its-kind ratiometric fluorescent probe for visual, amplified, and specific monitoring of PFOA and PFOS with ultra-low detection limits of 6.12 nM (PFOA) and 14.3 nM (PFOS), respectively. PF-DBT-Im undergoes strong aggregation after binding with PFOA/PFOS as evident by transmission electron microscopy, zeta potential measurements, and dynamic light scattering studies. This promotes interchain Förster resonance energy transfer process to endorse an obvious emission color change from blue-to-magenta under ultraviolet lamp excitation. Consequently, a smartphone-integrated portable device is fabricated for realizing rapid and on-site detection of PFOA/PFOS. Besides, a new class of magnetic adsorbent Fe3O4@NH2&F13 is also prepared and used in combination with PF-DBT-Im to remove PFOA/PFOS from the environmental water effectively and rapidly as confirmed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Thus, utilizing the excellent signal amplification property of PF-DBT-Im and the remarkable magnetic separation capability of Fe3O4@NH2&F13, a multifunctional system is developed for step-wise recognition and separation of PFOA/PFOS from the environmental water proficiently and rapidly.
