Recent progress and outlooks in rhodamine-based fluorescent probes for detection and imaging of reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species. Talanta 2024; 274:126004. [PMID: 38564824 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126004] [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: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS) serve as vital mediators essential for preserving intracellular redox homeostasis within the human body, thereby possessing significant implications across physiological and pathological domains. Nevertheless, deviations from normal levels of ROS, RNS, and RSS disturb redox homeostasis, leading to detrimental consequences that compromise bodily integrity. This disruption is closely linked to the onset of various human diseases, thereby posing a substantial threat to human health and survival. Small-molecule fluorescent probes exhibit considerable potential as analytical instruments for the monitoring of ROS, RNS, and RSS due to their exceptional sensitivity and selectivity, operational simplicity, non-invasiveness, localization capabilities, and ability to facilitate in situ optical signal generation for real-time dynamic analyte monitoring. Due to their distinctive transition from their spirocyclic form (non-fluorescent) to their ring-opened form (fluorescent), along with their exceptional light stability, broad wavelength range, high fluorescence quantum yield, and high extinction coefficient, rhodamine fluorophores have been extensively employed in the development of fluorescent probes. This review primarily concentrates on the investigation of fluorescent probes utilizing rhodamine dyes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection from the perspective of different response groups since 2016. The scope of this review encompasses the design of probe structures, elucidation of response mechanisms, and exploration of biological applications.

A two-photon fluorescent probe for highly selective detection of Cys over GSH and Hcy based on the Michael addition and transcyclization mechanism and its application in bioimaging and protein straining in SDS-PAGE. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1309:342687. [PMID: 38772659 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342687] [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: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH), and homocysteine (Hcy), as three major biothiols are involved in a variety of physiological processes and play a crucial role in plant growth. Abnormal levels of Cys can cause plants to fail to grow properly. To date, although a very large number of fluorescent probes have been reported for the detection of biothiols, very few of them can be used for the selective discrimination of Cys from GSH and Hcy due to their structural similarity, and only a few of them can be used for plant imaging. RESULTS Here, three fluorescent probes (o-/m-/p-TMA) based on TMN fluorophore and the ortho-/meta-/para-substituted maleimide recognition groups were constructed to investigate the selective response effect of Cys. Compared to the o-/m-TMA, p-TMA can selectively detect Cys over GSH and Hcy with a rapid response time (10 min) and a low detection limit (0.26 μM). The theoretical calculation confirmed that the intermediate p-TMA-Cys-int has shorter interatomic reaction distances (3.827 Å) compared to o-/m-TMA-Cys (5.533/5.287 Å), making it more suitable for further transcyclization reactions. Additionally, p-TMA has been employed for selective tracking of exogenous and endogenous Cys in Arabidopsis thaliana using both single-/two-photon fluorescence imaging. Furthermore, single cell walls produced obvious two-photon fluorescence signals, indicating that p-TMA can be used for high-concentration Cys analysis in single cells. Surprisingly, p-TMA can be used as a fluorescent dye for protein staining in SDS-PAGE with higher sensitivity (7.49 μg/mL) than classical Coomassie brilliant blue (14.11 μg/mL). SIGNIFICANCE The outstanding properties of p-TMA make it a promising multifunctional molecular tool for the highly selective detection of Cys over GSH and Hcy in various complex environments, including water solutions, zebrafish, and plants. Additionally, it has the potential to be developed as a fluorescent dye for a simple and fast SDS-PAGE fluorescence staining method.

Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:331.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent nanoprobe CQDs-O-Acryl has been designed and synthesized to directly and accurately identify Cys over other biothiols in PBS (10 mM, pH 7.4) buffer. The carbon quantum dots (CQDs-OH) (λex/em maxima = 495/525 nm) were fabricated by a solvothermal method using resorcinol as the carbon source. The CQDs-O-Acryl was achieved through covalently grafting the acryloyl group on the surface of carbon quantum dots by nuclear reaction based on static quenching. The structure and morphology of CQDs-OH and CQDs-O-Acryl have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. Upon the addition of Cys, the ester bond of CQDs-O-Acryl has been broken, and the free CQDs were released by conjugated addition and cyclization reactions successively, emitting strong green fluorescence at 525 nm (λex = 495 nm). Under the optimized conditions, CQDs-O-Acryl exhibited good sensing of Cys within the range 0.095-16 μM (the LOD of 0.095 μM). Due to the high sensitivity, reliability, fast fluorescence response (10 min), and low toxicity of CQDs-O-Acryl, it was successfully applied to fluorescence imaging of Cys in A549 cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide and biothiol molecules such as Cys and GSH acted important roles in many physiological processes. To simultaneously detect and distinguish them was quite necessary by a suitable fluorescent probe. A novel chemosensor 4-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-methoxyphenoxy)-7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole (BMNO) was designed to detect H2S/Cys/GSH using the combination of nitrobenzofurazan (NBD) and benzothiazole fluorophores linked by a facile ether bond. The probe BMNO was developed for simultaneous identification of H2S, Cys and GSH. Noticeably, the color changes (from colorless to light purple, light orange and light yellow) of probe BMNO solutions for sensing H2S, Cys and GSH could be observed by naked eyes, respectively. The probe BMNO exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for H2S, Cys and GSH showing distinct optical signal with detection limit as low as 0.15 μM, 0.03 μM and 0.14 μM, respectively. The sensing mechanism was clarified by spectrum analysis and some controlled experiments. In addition, these outstanding properties of probe BMNO enabled its practical applications in detection H2S in beer, and in cell imaging for Cys and GSH as well.

Abstract
The development of novel fluorescent dyes for bio-thiol is of great importance in biological, clinical and pharmaceutical sciences. Given the importance of bio-thiol anticipating in numerous physiological processes, there is a great need to construct fluorescent biosensors with high quality to detect them. Fluorophores, especially those used in bio-system, usually require high-quality properties such as high brightness, good water solubility, bio-compatible and photostability. Herein, we reported a novel fluorescent probe based on piperazine-coumarin scaffold with enhanced brightness and solubility. To further demonstrate the potential clinical applications, we performed living cell fluorescence image and human esophageal carcinoma diagnosis. The result indicated that we were able to distinguish pathological tissue from normal tissue by applying this probe. Thus, we hope this design will be helpful to develop high-quality fluorophores for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Three 5H-benzo[a]phenoxazin-5-one-based (benzoresorufin and nile-red) Cysteine (Cys) detection probes have been comparatively designed and synthesized in this paper. The optical experiments exhibit probe 1b with a crotonoyl group has no response toward Cys; while probes 1a and 1c have the same reaction site (acryloyl group), their optical responses to Cys are quite different. The benzoresorufin-based-probe 1a shows a turn-on fluorescence response (118-fold) to Cys at 631 nm and affords a very low detection limit (DL = 19.8 nM). Compared with probe 1a, the nile-red-based probe 1c displays gradually diminishing fluorescence intensity with increased Cys concentration at 665 nm. And the notable different fluorescence response mechanisms of probes 1a and 1c toward Cys can be interpreted by HRMS and time-dependent density functional theorety (TDDFT) calculations. Furthermore, both of the two probes indicate high sensitivity and selectivity toward Cys over other similar structured amino acids including homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). Further cellular applications of the two probes have been successfully performed in HeLa cells.

Abstract
Detection of glutathione in human serum is of great importance for clinical diagnosis of various diseases, such as AIDS, diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer disease and cancer. In this work, a new water-soluble bismacrocyclic polyamine-derived compound, namely L, which contains two molecules of 4-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxa-diazole as the fluorophores, was designed and prepared. The experiments of selectivity of L toward metal ions showed it could rapidly and sensitively detect Hg2+ with a detection limit of 27 nM. Furthermore, the cell imaging and co-staining experiments in HeLa cells demonstrated that the L-Hg2+ probe had selectivity for the Golgi apparatus to a certain degree. Moreover, it had excellent selectivity for biothiols, especially for glutathione. Finally, the probe was successfully applied to sensitively detect glutathione (GSH) in human serum and fetal bovine serum.

Abstract
Coumarins are a very large family of compounds containing the unique 2H-chromen-2-one motif, as it is known according to IUPAC nomenclature. Coumarin derivatives are widely found in nature, especially in plants and are constituents of several essential oils. Up to now, thousands of coumarin derivatives have been isolated from nature or produced by chemists. More recently, the coumarin platform has been widely adopted in the design of small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors because of its excellent biocompatibility, strong and stable fluorescence emission, and good structural flexibility. This scaffold has found wide applications in the development of fluorescent chemosensors in the fields of molecular recognition, molecular imaging, bioorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, as well as in the biology and medical science communities. This review focuses on the important progress of coumarin-based small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors during the period of 2012-2018. This comprehensive and critical review may facilitate the development of more powerful fluorescent chemosensors for broad and exciting applications in the future.

Abstract
Cys is one of the important biothiols and its abnormal concentration may pose a threat to human health. Therefore, the monitoring of Cys in organisms is of great significance. GSH and Hcy, as the other two biothiols, have similar chemical structures and active sites to Cys. Consequently, developing fluorescent probes to independently detect Cys has become a challenging problem. Keeping this in mind, α-β unsaturated ketone as a recognition group was integrated into the coumarin group skeleton to synthesize a fluorescent probe SC. After the nucleophilic addition reaction of Cys with SC, the conjugated system of SC was blocked and the fluorescent enhanced obviously. SC was able to detect Cys specifically under the same excitation with a low detection limit (11.1 nM). SC showed a rapid respond to Cys (120 s) and good fluorescent stability over a wide pH range. In addition, it achieved extracorporeal circulation in the presence of H2O2 or NEM. In the end, SC could be applied to detecting endogenous and exogenous Cys under biological condition due to its slight cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. This provided a powerful tool for studying the physiological function of Cys exclusively.

Abstract
A benzothiazole-based near-infrared (NIR) ratiometric fluorescent probe (HBT-Cys) was developed for discriminating cysteine (Cys) from homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). The probe was designed by masking phenol group in the conjugated benzothiazole derivative with methacrylate group that could be selectively removed by Cys, and therefore an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) fluorescence was switched on in the NIR region. In the absence of Cys, the probe exhibited a strong blue fluorescence emission at 431 nm, whereas a NIR fluorescence emission at 710 nm was significantly enhanced accompanied by a decrease of emission at 431 nm in the presence of Cys, allowing a ratiometric fluorescence detection of Cys. The fluorescence intensity ratio (I710nm/I431nm) showed a good linear relationship with Cys concentration of 1-40 μM with the detection limit of 0.5 μM. The sensing mechanism was explored based on MS experimental analysis and DFT theoretical calculation. Moreover, the fluorescent probe was successfully used for fluorescence bioimaging of Cys in living cells.

Abstract
Fluorescent hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP-NPs) were prepared by reacting calcium ion with phosphate in the presence of Eu(III) ion. The HAP-NPs display large Stokes' shift and two strong fluorescence emissions with peaks at 590 nm and 615 nm when excited at 250 nm. The HAP-NPs also have good photostability and water solubility. The HAP-NPs combined with Cu(II) were applied to fluorometric determination of cysteine and homocysteine in biological samples and in living cells. In this detection scheme, the fluorescence of HAP-NPs is initially quenched by Cu(II). The addition of biothiols results in the formation of Cu(II)-thiol complexes and leads to fluorescence recovery. The assay allows cysteine to be detected with a 110 nM detection limit, and homocysteine with a 160 nM detection limit. The assay was successfully applied to the analysis of cysteine in spiked human serum samples and to imaging of cysteine in HeLa cells, and this demonstrates its potential for clinical testing and in biomedical research. Graphical abstract Fluorescent hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were synthesized and combined with Cu2+ for fluorescence sensing of biothiols (cysteine and homocysteine) in complex biological samples and in living cells.
