Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is a significant biological mercaptan that achieves key roles in several important physiological processes, such as reversible redox homeostasis in living organisms. Abnormal levels of Cys in the human body are directly related to many diseases. In this work, we constructed a sensitive sensor (Cys-NR) by connecting a Cys recognition group to a Nile red derivative. Due to photo-induced electron transfer (PET), the Cys-NR probe showed little fluorescence at 650 nm. With the addition of Cys to the assay solution, the chlorine unit of the probe was substituted by the thiol group of Cys. Further, the amino and sulfhydryl groups in cysteine underwent an intramolecular rearrangement, which led to the Cys-NR probe water solution turning from colorless to pink with an enhancement in fluorescence. The red fluorescence at 650 nm increased about 20 times. Based on the turn-on signal, a selective Cys detection method is developed. The probe signal is not affected by various potential interferences or other competing biothiols and the limit of detection (LOD) is determined to be 0.44 μM. In addition, the probe is further employed for imaging of Cys in live cells, revealing good biological imaging ability that could provide a new way of intracellular Cys detection.

Abstract
Despite the wide use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a clinical diagnostic tool, there are still no clinically approved MRI contrast agents that can be applied for cerebral Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker imaging. We report here the design and development of the first amyloid-β (Aβ)-targeted, blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrable theranostic Gd(DOTA)-cyanine dyad, which was synthesized by the conjugation of Gd(DOTA) complex and carbazole-based cyanine dye by the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click reaction for imaging of Aβ in vivo and ex vivo in AD mouse models. This dyad, as a multimodal probe, possesses desirable multifunctional properties, including good biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, high Aβ selectivity, strong fluorescence enhancement upon binding with Aβ species, good paramagnetic properties, high stability, good BBB penetrability, and fast elimination from the mouse. The longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of the dyad was found to be 4.42 mM-1 s-1 at 3 T, suggesting it to be promising as a T1-weighted MRI contrast agent. The probe has been successfully demonstrated to be able to be applied for one- and two-photon excited fluorescence and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of Aβ in transgenic mouse models of AD. In addition, it can inhibit Aβ aggregation, protect against toxicity induced by Aβ, and suppress Aβ-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Our results demonstrate the highly promising theranostic capability of the dyad for diagnosis and therapy of AD and extraordinary potential for MRI of Aβ in humans.

Abstract
In this work, a novel 7-hydroxybenzoxazinone-based fluorescent probe (PBD) for the selective sensing of biothiols is reported. Upon treatment with biothiols, PBD shows a strong fluorescence enhancement (up to 70-fold) and a large Stokes shift (155 nm). Meanwhile, this probe exhibits high resistance to interference from other amino acids and competing species. PBD features good linearity ranges with a low detection limit of 14.5 nM for glutathione (GSH), 17.5 nM for cysteine (Cys), and 80.0 nM for homocysteine (Hcy), respectively. Finally, the potential utility of this probe for biothiol sensing in living HeLa cells is demonstrated.

Abstract
Biothiols such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH) play crucial roles in maintaining redox homeostasis in biological systems. This Minireview summarizes the most significant current challenges in the field of thiol-reactive probes for biomedical research and diagnostics, emphasizing the needs and opportunities that have been under-investigated by chemists in the selective probe and sensor field. Progress on multiple binding site probes to distinguish Cys, Hcy, and GSH is highlighted as a creative new direction in the field that can enable simultaneous, accurate ratiometric monitoring. New probe design strategies and researcher priorities can better help address current challenges, including the monitoring of disease states such as autism and chronic diseases involving oxidative stress that are characterized by divergent levels of GSH, Cys, and Hcy.
