Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are small reactive molecules derived from elements in the air─oxygen and nitrogen. They are produced in biological systems to mediate fundamental aspects of cellular signaling but must be very tightly balanced to prevent indiscriminate damage to biological molecules. Small molecule probes can transmute the specific nature of each reactive oxygen and nitrogen species into an observable luminescent signal (or even an acoustic wave) to offer sensitive and selective imaging in living cells and whole animals. This review focuses specifically on small molecule probes for superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, nitric oxide, and peroxynitrite that provide a luminescent or photoacoustic signal. Important background information on general photophysical phenomena, common probe designs, mechanisms, and imaging modalities will be provided, and then, probes for each analyte will be thoroughly evaluated. A discussion of the successes of the field will be presented, followed by recommendations for improvement and a future outlook of emerging trends. Our objectives are to provide an informative, useful, and thorough field guide to small molecule probes for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as well as important context to compare the ecosystem of chemistries and molecular scaffolds that has manifested within the field.

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
As one of the major reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide anion (O2•-) is engaged in maintaining redox homeostasis in the cell microenvironment. To identify the pathological roles in related disorders caused by abnormal expression of O2•-, it is of great significance to monitor and track the fluctuation of O2•- concentration in vivo. However, the low concentration of O2•- and the interference caused by tissue autofluorescence make the development of an ideal detection methodology full of challenges. Herein, a "Turn-On" chemical response near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe Dcm-Cu-OTf for O2•- detection in inflamed models, was constructed by conjugating the NIR fluorophore (dicyanisophorone derivative) with an O2•- sensing moiety (trifluoromethanesulfonate). Dcm-Cu-OTf exerted about 140-fold fluorescence enhancement after reacting 200 μM O2•- with an excellent limited of detection (LOD) as low as 149 nM. Additionally, Dcm-Cu-OTf exhibited a super large Stokes shift (260 nm) and high selectivity over other bio-analytes in stimulated conditions. Importantly, Dcm-Cu-OTf showed low toxicity and enabled imaging of the generation of O2•- in the Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated HeLa cells, zebrafish, and LPS-induced inflamed mice. The present study provided a potential and reliable detection tool to inspect the physiological and pathological progress of O2•- in living biosystems.

Abstract
Cancer represents a global threat to human health, and effective strategies for improved cancer early diagnosis and treatment are urgently needed. The detection of tumor biomarkers has been one of the important auxiliary means for tumor screening and diagnosis. Mitochondria are crucial subcellular organelles that produce most chemical energy used by cells, control metabolic processes, and maintain cell function. Evidence suggests the close involvement of mitochondria with cancer development. As a consequence, the identification of cancer-associated biomarker expression levels in mitochondria holds significant importance in the diagnosis of early-stage diseases and the monitoring of therapy efficacy. Small-molecule fluorescent probes are effective for the identification and visualization of bioactive entities within biological systems, owing to their heightened sensitivity, expeditious non-invasive analysis and real-time detection capacities. The design principles and sensing mechanisms of mitochondrial targeted fluorescent probes are summarized in this review. Additionally, the biomedical applications of these probes for detecting cancer-associated biomarkers are highlighted. The limitations and challenges of fluorescent probes in vivo are also considered and some future perspectives are provided. This review is expected to provide valuable insights for the future development of novel fluorescent probes for clinical imaging, thereby contributing to the advancement of cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Exploration of the pathway for the excessive generation of O2•- in hippocampus during depression is critical for the study on molecular mechanism of depression, and is currently still inconclusive. Herein, we put forward a hypothesis that depression increases the generation of O2•- in hippocampus by triggering ER stress, and verified this hypothesis by constructing an FRET-based ER-targeting fluorescent probe (ER-CRh) which can provide ratiometric detection of O2•- with high sensitivity and selectivity. The probe ER-CRh showed desirable ER-targeting capability, and could detect the endogenous O2•- in the ER of the hippocampal neuronal cells experiencing ER stress. Fluorescence imaging indicates that ER-CRh possesses the capability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier in mouse, and depression could promote the production of endogenous O2•- in hippocampus. Western blotting analysis reveals that the proteins GRP78 and CHOP from the hippocampus of depressive mouse show an up-regulated expression, and it suggests depression causes ER stress in hippocampal neurons. These findings prove our hypothesis, and could conduce to develop safe and effective antidepressants by the protection and repair of hippocampal neurons.

Abstract
Isoniazid (INH) and pyrazinamide (PZA) are both the first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in clinical treatment. It is notable that there are serious side effects of the drugs along with upregulation of reactive nitrogen species, mainly including peripheral neuritis, gastrointestinal reactions, and acute drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Among them, DILI is the most common clinical symptom as well as the basic reason of treatment interruption, protocol change, and drug resistance. As vital reactive nitrogen species (RNS), peroxynitrite (ONOO-) has been demonstrated as a biomarker for evaluation and pre-diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). In this work, we developed a red-emitting D-π-A type fluorescence probe DIC-NP which was based on 4'-hydroxy-4-biphenylcarbonitrile modified with dicyanoisophorone as a fluorescent reporter and diphenyl phosphinic chloride group as the reaction site for highly selective and sensitive sensing ONOO-. Probe DIC-NP displayed a low detection limit (14.9 nM) and 60-fold fluorescent enhancement at 669 nm in the sensing of ONOO-. Probe DIC-NP was successfully applied to monitor exogenous and endogenous ONOO- in living HeLa cells and zebrafish. Furthermore, we verified the toxicity of isoniazid (INH) and pyrazinamide (PZA) by taking the oxidative stress induced by APAP as a reference, and successfully imaged anti-tuberculosis drug-induced endogenous ONOO- in HepG2 cells. More importantly, we developed a series of mice models of liver injury and investigated the hepatotoxicity caused by the treatment of anti-tuberculosis drugs. At the same time, H&E of mice organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney) further confirmed the competence of probe DIC-NP for estimating the degree of drug-induced liver injury, which laid a solid foundation for medical research.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-regulated, caspase-mediated pathway of cell death that is associated with the excessive aggregation of lipid-reactive oxygen species and is extensively involved in the evolution of many diseases, including epilepsy. The superoxide anion (O2•-), as the primary precursor of ROS, is closely related to ferroptosis-mediated epilepsy. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a highly effective and convenient method for the real-time dynamic monitoring of O2•- during the ferroptosis process in epilepsy for the diagnosis and therapy of ferroptosis-mediated epilepsy. Nevertheless, no probes for detecting O2•- in ferroptosis-mediated epilepsy have been reported. Herein, we systematically conceptualized and developed a novel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe, NIR-FP, for accurately tracking the fluctuation of O2•- in ferroptosis-mediated epilepsy. The probe showed exceptional sensitivity and outstanding selectivity toward O2•-. In addition, the probe has been utilized effectively to bioimage and evaluate endogenous O2•- variations in three types of ferroptosis-mediated epilepsy models (the kainic acid-induced chronic epilepsy model, the pentylenetetrazole-induced acute epilepsy model, and the pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus model). The above applications illustrated that NIR-FP could serve as a reliable and suitable tool for guiding the accurate diagnosis and therapy of ferroptosis-mediated epilepsy.

Abstract
Superoxide anion (O2•-) is an important reactive oxygen species (ROS) and participates in various physiological and pathological processes in the organism. The O2•- burst induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is associated with cardiovascular disease and promotes the cell apoptosis. In this work, a turn-on type Golgi-targeting fluorescent probe Gol-Cou-O2•- was rationally designed for sensitive and selective detection of O2•-. The minimum detection limit concentration for O2•- was about 3.9 × 10-7 M in aqueous solution. Gol-Cou-O2•- showed excellent capacity of detecting exogenous and endogenous O2•- in living cells and zebrafish, and was also used to capture the up-regulated O2•- level during the duration of I/R process in cardiomyocytes. Golgi Phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) is a potential Golgi stress marker protein and plays a key role in cells apoptosis during I/R. The fluorescence imaging and flow cytometry assay results indicated that silencing GOLPH3 through siRNA could give rise to the down-regulated O2•- level and alleviation of apoptosis in I/R myocardial cells. Thus, development of Gol-Cou-O2•- provides a diagnostic tool for myocardial oxidative stress injury and distinct insights on roles of GOLPH3 in myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
AbstractReactive oxygen species (ROS), a class of reactive oxidants, play critical roles in signal transduction, cell metabolism, immune defense, and other physiological processes. Abnormally excessive levels of ROS can cause diseases and thus, investigations into the relevant biology and medicine are significant. The behavior of ROS in inflammation has been rarely elucidated. In this work, two ROS fluorescent probes, FS-ROS1 and FS-ROS2 have been designed and synthesized. FS-ROS1 responds rapidly (~1 min) to ClO– and gradually (~30 min) to H2O2 with an increase in fluorescence at ~656 nm and 640 nm of more than 100-fold in vitro. At a concentration of 10 μM, FS-ROS1 labels the L929 cell and Raw264.7 cell wells in 30 min with excellent biocompatibility and without washing. After labelling, FS-ROS1 exhibited a rational fluorescence increase upon the addition of 1, 10, 100, and 200 μM of H2O2. Based on these results, inflammatory cells, stimulated with 800 nM dexamethasone and polyIC, showed a higher increase in fluorescence than the control cells. These results suggest that H2O2 and ClO– might be important signaling molecules during inflammations.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) is the survival environment for tumor cells to proliferate and metastasize in deep tissue. TME contains tumor cells, immune cells, stromal cells and a variety of active molecules including reactive oxygen species (ROS). Inside the TME, ROS regulate the oxidation-reduction (redox) homeostasis and promote oxidative stress. Due to the rapid proliferation ability and specific metabolic patterns of the TME, ROS pervade virtually all complex physiological processes and play irreplaceable roles in protein modification, signal transduction, metabolism, and energy production in various tumors. Therefore, measurements of the dynamically, multicomponent simultaneous changes of ROS in the TME are of great significance to reveal the detailed proliferation and metastasis mechanisms of the tumor. Near-infrared (NIR) and two-photon (TP) fluorescence imaging techniques possess real-time, dynamic, highly sensitive, and highly signal-to-noise ratios with deep tissue penetration abilities. With the rationally designed probes, the NIR and TP fluorescence imaging techniques have been widely used to reveal the mechanisms of how ROS regulates and constructs complex signals and metabolic networks in TME. Therefore, we summarize the design principles and performances of NIR and TP fluorescence imaging of ROS in the TME in the last four years, as well as discuss the advantages and potentials of these works. This Review can provide guidance and prospects for future research work on TME and facilitate the development of antitumor drugs.

Abstract
As a key reactive oxygen species (ROS), hypochlorous acid (HClO) plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. The mitochondria-targeting probes for the highly sensitive detection of HClO are desirable. In present work, we designed and synthesized an original mitochondria-localizing and turn-on fluorescent probe for detecting HClO. 4-Aminonaphthalimide was employed as the fluorescent section, the (2-aminoethyl)-thiourea unit was utilized as a typical sensing unit, and the quaternized pyridinium moiety was used as a mitochondria-targeted localization group. When HClO was absent, the probe showed weak fluorescence. In the existence of HClO, the probe revealed a blue fluorescence. Moreover, the turn-on fluorescent probe was able to function in a broad pH scope. There was an excellent linearity between the fluorescence emission intensity at 488 nm and the concentrations of HClO in the range of 5.0 × 10-7 to 2.5 × 10-6 mol·L-1. Additionally, the probe had almost no cell toxicity and possessed an excellent mitochondria-localizing capability. Furthermore, the probe was able to image HClO in mitochondria of living PC-12 cells. The above remarkable properties illustrated that the probe was able to determine HClO in mitochondria of living cells.
