Abstract
Organic fluorophores aided by current microscopy imaging modalities are essential for studying biological systems. Recently, red/near-infrared emitting fluorophores have attracted great research efforts, as they enable bioimaging applications with reduced autofluorescence interference and light scattering, two significant obstacles for deep-tissue imaging, as well as reduced photodamage and photobleaching. Herein, we analyzed the current strategies to convert key organic fluorophores bearing xanthene, coumarin, and naphthalene cores into longer wavelength-emitting derivatives by focussing on their effectiveness and limitations. Together, we introduced typical examples of how such fluorophores can be used to develop molecular probes for biological analytes, along with key sensing features. Finally, we listed several critical issues to be considered in developing new fluorophores.

(E)-2-styrylanthracene-9,10-dione derivatives as novel fluorescent probes: synthesis, photophysical properties and application in mitochondria imaging. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 286:121988.

Abstract
Our previous work firstly reported that (E)-2-styrylanthracene-9,10-dione is a novel fluorescent core (EK01) with the ability of specific mitochondria imaging. In this effort, we mainly focused our attention on the structure-photophysical property relationship and application in cells imaging of this new fluorescent chemotype. A series of the structural derivatives (TZ series) were designed and synthesized by introducing some substituents onto the 2-styryl moiety. The structure-photophysical property relationship analysis suggested that TZ03 is an excellent fluorescent molecular building block with the property of fluorescent "turn-on" effect after the modification of acylation, and TZ07 is an excellent fluorescent dye with a series of advantages such as high fluorescence intensity (Fmax = 4049.0 in CH2Cl2, 25.80 μM), moderate molar extinction coefficients (3.77 × 103-5.93 × 103 mol-1∙L∙cm-1), strong fluorescence quantum yield (Φmax = 0.739 in CH2Cl2), large Stokes shift (99.0 nm-161.8 nm) and well biological tolerance. As a classical D-π-A structure, the ICT characteristic of TZ07 was analyzed through spectroscopy verification and DFT calculations. Furthermore, optimized compound TZ07 was successfully applied in the living cells imaging with the excellent selectivity to mitochondria in a green fluorescent form. It was also suggested that the mechanism of TZ07 targeting mitochondria is independent of mitochondrial membrane potential, but probably related to the mitochondrial complex I. These findings may provide some insights into the development of novel mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Hydrazine (N2H4) is carcinogenic, extremely toxic, and induces serious environmental contamination and physiological dysfunction; however, it is widely used as an industrial material. Hence, the development of a simple and effective analytical method to detect N2H4 detection in both environmental and biological sectors is warranted. In this work, an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-based fluorescent probe 1, namely (Z)- 1-(4-acetoxybenzyl)- 4-(1-cyano-2-(7-(diethylamino)- 2-oxo-2 H-chromen-3-yl)vinyl)pyridin-1-ium, was designed for dual-excitation (420 and 600 nm, excitation separations >160 nm), near infrared (NIR)-emissive, and ratiometric fluorescent detection of N2H4. The sensing behavior of probe 1 for N2H4 detection was shown to be available over a wide pH range, and detection limits of 68 nM and 569 nM were achieved at excitation wavelengths of 420 and 600 nm, respectively. In addition, probe 1 was successfully used to image mitochondrial N2H4 in living cells and zebrafish. Furthermore, the probe was also capable of determining hydrazine signals in test strips and environmental soil.

Abstract
Cellular metabolites play a crucial role in promoting and regulating cellular activities, but it has been difficult to monitor these cellular metabolites in living cells and in real time. Over the past decades, iterative development and improvements of fluorescent probes have been made, resulting in the effective monitoring of metabolites. In this review, we highlight recent progress in the use of fluorescent probes for tracking some key metabolites, such as adenosine triphosphate, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, cyclic guanosine 5'-monophosphate, Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reactive oxygen species, sugar, carbon monoxide, and nitric oxide for both whole cell and subcellular imaging.

Abstract
A direct detection protocol for the anticancer drug of cisplatin is highly desirable for studying its actions and side effects. In this work, a high quantum yield fluorescent probe with two-photon excitation to detect cisplatin was designed. The probe (RD640-TC) was based on the rhodamine 640 (Rh640) fluorophore, responding to cisplatin with red fluorescence. It showed an excellent linear correlation between the fluorescence response and the concentration of cisplatin over the range of 2-50 μM, suggesting a feasible tool for convenient detection of cisplatin. RD640-TC had high fluorescence quantum yield (Φ = 0.68) and two-photon absorption properties, which made it more favorable to probe cisplatin in biological systems. We exemplified RD640-TC for the detection of cisplatin in cells and zebrafish, providing an accessible tool for in vivo tracking of cisplatin, which has great potential value for studying how cisplatin is processed at cellular level and further for facilitating the investigation into the origin of cisplatin's toxicity.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are closely related to lipid metabolism in living cells and are highly associated with diverse diseases such as fatty liver, diabetes, and cancer. Herein we describe a π-extended fluorescent coumarin (PC6S) for visualizing LDs in living cells and in the tissues of living mice using confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). PC6S showed a large positive solvatochromic shift and high fluorescence quantum yield (>0.80) in both nonpolar and polar solvents. Additionally, the fluorescence lifetimes of PC6S were largely dependent on solvent polarity. The excellent spectral and photophysical properties of PC6S allowed its selective staining of LDs in living and fixed cells, and multicolor imaging. Fluorescence lifetime measurements of PC6S allowed estimation of the apparent polarity of LDs. The high photostability and long intracellular retention of PC6S supported in situ visualization of the formation processes of LDs resulting from the accumulation of fatty acid. Furthermore, intravenous administration of PC6S and use of the FLIM system allowed the imaging of LDs in hepatocytes in living normal mice and the growth of LDs resulting from the excess accumulation of lipids in high-fat-diet-fed mice (fatty liver model mice). Taking advantage of the high selectivity and sensitivity of PC6S for LDs in liver, we could visualize the adipocytes of lipid-rich tissues and LDs in kidney peritubular cells by PC6S fluorescence. These results demonstrated that PC6S combined with a FLIM system can be useful for monitoring and tracking the formation of LDs in both cultured cells and specific tissues and organs.

Abstract
The power factories in cells, mitochondria, play important roles in all physiological processes. It is reported that progressive mitochondrial swelling and outer mitochondrial membrane rupture could be induced by a wide variety of apoptotic and necrotic stimuli. Regrettably, although a variety of mitochondrial probes have been developed, most of them are based on the detection of active species in mitochondria. Probes that can monitor the status and distribution of mitochondria for a long time are still urgently needed. In this study, a fluorescent sensor with excellent properties, EtNBEn, is described. Outstanding performance allows it to be observed not only in cells but also in living Daphnia and zebrafish under confocal microscopy for a long time. Moreover, the swelling process of mitochondria under light stimulation is also visualized under super-resolution (SR) microscopy. All these results suggest that EtNBEn could be employed for tagging mitochondria in various physiological processes, which makes a great contribution to the cure of diseases.

Abstract
A latent turn-on fluorescent probe for the detection of malononitrile (NCCH2CN), a precursor of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the mammalian tissue metabolism, is developed based on reaction-based fluorophore generation for the first time. Malononitrile is utilized within a wide spectrum of academic and industrial applications, and it is a key reagent to make o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS gas; tear gas), which is used for riot control. Due to its extensive use as well as potential health risks and the environmental pollution, malononitrile monitoring method has been required. In this paper, we discovered that our key sensing platform, 6-(dimethylamino)-3-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (named Mal-P1), responds sensitively and selectively towards malononitrile. The Knoevenagel condensation induced benzo [g]coumarin formation of Mal-P1 with malononitrile showed significant fluorescence turn-on response. In addition, Mal-P1 showed the malononitrile sensing ability in environmental samples (real water, CS gas) and imaging ability in biological sample (HeLa cell line) using fluorescence microscopy with low cytotoxicity. The successful demonstrations will facilitate further applications in a variety of fields.

Abstract
γ-Glutamyltransferase (GGT) plays a role in cleaving the γ-glutamyl bond of glutathione. The GGT is known to be overexpressed in some tumors and has been recognized as a potential biomarker for malignant tumors. Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide; however, there is no quantitative method for detecting cancer cells in human colon tissues. In this study, we report a ratiometric two-photon probe for GGT that can be applied in human colon tissues. The probe (Probe 2) showed high fluorescence efficiency, marked fluorescence changes, excellent kinetics, and selectivity for the GGT in live colon cells. Additionally, we obtained ratiometric two-photon microscopy images of GGT activity in human colon tissue. We used this method to compare normal and cancer tissues based on their ratio values; the ratio value was higher in cancer tissue than in normal tissue. This study provides a method for quantitative analysis of GGT, particularly in human colon cancer, which will be useful for studying GGT-related diseases and diagnosing colon cancer.

Mitochondria-Targeted Two-Photon Fluorescent Photosensitizers for Cancer Cell Apoptosis via Spatial Selectability. Adv Healthc Mater 2019; 8:e1900212.

Abstract
Organelle-targeted photosensitizers have been reported to be effective cell apoptosis agents. Mitochondria is recognized as an ideal target for cancer treatment due to its central role in oxidative metabolism and apoptosis. Meanwhile, two-photon (TP) fluorescence microscopy has become a powerful tool for fluorescence imaging in biological events based on its minimizing photodamage/photobleaching and intrinsic 3D resolution in deep tissues and in vivo. In this study, a series of novel mitochondrial-targeted TP fluorescent photosensitizers (TP-tracers) are designed, synthesized, and systematically investigated. These TP-tracers exhibit extraordinary anti-interference capability among different cations, anions, and amino acids as well as the insensitivity to the changes of pH and complex biological environments. TP-tracers are further used in fluorescence living cells, Drosophila brains, and zebrafish imaging with low cytotoxicity, excellent mitochondria-targeting, and TP properties. The results demonstrate efficient mitochondria-targeting cell selective apoptosis based on TP-activated cancer cells with highly single cell selectivity, and the pharmacokinetic study reveals that MitoY2 does not have accumulation in rats. It is believed that these molecules hold great potential in TP-related smart phototherapy.

Abstract
The dynamic fluctuations of bioactive species in living cells are associated with numerous physiological and pathological phenomena. The emergence of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes has significantly facilitated our understanding on the biological functions of these species. This review describes the design, applications, challenges and potential directions of organelle-targeted bioactive species probes.
Bioactive species, including reactive oxygen species (ROS, including O2˙–, H2O2, HOCl, 1O2, ˙OH, HOBr, etc.), reactive nitrogen species (RNS, including ONOO–, NO, NO2, HNO, etc.), reactive sulfur species (RSS, including GSH, Hcy, Cys, H2S, H2Sn, SO2 derivatives, etc.), ATP, HCHO, CO and so on, are a highly important category of molecules in living cells. The dynamic fluctuations of these molecules in subcellular microenvironments determine cellular homeostasis, signal conduction, immunity and metabolism. However, their abnormal expressions can cause disorders which are associated with diverse major diseases. Monitoring bioactive molecules in subcellular structures is therefore critical for bioanalysis and related drug discovery. With the emergence of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes, significant progress has been made in subcellular imaging. Among the developed subcellular localization fluorescent tools, ROS, RNS and RSS (RONSS) probes are highly attractive, owing to their potential for revealing the physiological and pathological functions of these highly reactive, interactive and interconvertible molecules during diverse biological events, which are rather significant for advancing our understanding of different life phenomena and exploring new technologies for life regulation. This review mainly illustrates the design principles, detection mechanisms, current challenges, and potential future directions of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes toward RONSS.

Abstract
The noninvasive and specific detection of cancer cells in living subjects has been essential for the success of cancer diagnoses and treatments. Herein, we report a strategy of combining an αvβ3-integrin-receptor-targetable ligand, c-RGD, with the γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT)-recognizable substrate, γ-glutamate (γ-Glu), to develop a tumor-targeting and GGT-activatable near-infrared (NIR)-fluorescent probe for the noninvasive imaging of tumors in living mice. We demonstrated that the probe's fluorescence was off initially, but when the γ-Glu in the probe was specifically cleaved by GGT, the fluorescent product was released and could be selectively taken up by U87MG-tumor cells via αvβ3-receptor-mediated endocytosis. Remarkably, enhanced intracellular NIR fluorescence distributed mainly in the lysosomes was observed in the tumor cells only, showing that the probe was capable of differentiating the tumor cells from the GGT-positive, αvβ3-deficient normal cells. Moreover, the probe also showed a high selectivity for the real-time and noninvasive detection of GGT activity in xenograft U87MG tumors following iv administration. This study reveals the advantage of using a combination of receptor-mediated cell uptake and molecular-target-triggered activation to design molecular probes for improved cancer imaging, which could facilitate effective cancer diagnoses.

Abstract
Fluorescent coumarins are an important class of small-molecule organic fluorophores ubiquitous in different well-established and emerging fields of research including, among others, biochemistry and chemical biology. The present work aims at covering the poor detectability of coumarin-based conjugates by mass spectrometry while keeping important photophysical properties of the coumarin core. In this context, the synthesis of readily functionalizable phosphonium-tagged coumarin derivatives enabling a dual mass-tag and fluorescence labelling of analytes or (bio)molecules of interest through a single-step protocol, is reported. The utility of these coumarins is illustrated through the preparation of fluorogenic substrates that facilitated identification of the peptide fragment released by specific proteolytic cleavages.

Abstract
Benzo[g]coumarins, which consist of coumarins fused with other aromatic units in the linear shape, have recently emerged as an interesting fluorophore in the bioimaging research. The pi-extended skeleton with the presence of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents from the parent coumarins changes the basic photophysical parameters such as absorption and fluorescence emission significantly. Most of the benzo[g]coumarin analogues show red/far-red fluorescence emission with high two-photon absorbing property that can be applicable for the two-photon microscopy (TPM) imaging. In this review, we summarized the recently developed benzo[g]coumarin analogues including photophysical properties, synthesis, and applications for molecular probes that can sense biologically important species such as metal ions, cell organs, reactive species, and disease biomarkers.

Abstract
We have developed a new class of two-photon absorbing dyes that are far-red emitting, water-soluble, and very bright inside cells as well as in tissue. The significant autofluorescence from yellow wavelength region in tissue imaging can be addressed by deep-red emitting dyes.
The fluorescence imaging of tissue is essential for studying biological events beyond the cellular level. Two-photon microscopy based on the nonlinear light absorption of fluorescent dyes is a viable tool for the high resolution imaging of tissue. A key limitation for deep tissue imaging is the autofluorescence from intrinsic biomolecules. Here, we report a systematic study that discloses relative autofluorescence interference, which is dependent on the type of tissue and the excitation and emission wavelengths in two-photon imaging. Among the brain, kidney, liver, lung, and spleen mouse tissues examined, the kidney tissue exhibited prominent autofluorescence followed by the liver and others. Notably, regardless of the tissue type, prominent autofluorescence is observed not only from the green emission channel but also from the yellow emission channel where common two-photon absorbing dyes also emit, whereas there is minimal autofluorescence from the red channel. The autofluorescence is slightly influenced by the excitation wavelength. Toward minimal autofluorescence, we developed a new class of two-photon absorbing dyes that are far-red emitting, water-soluble, and very bright inside cells as well as in tissue. A comparative assessment of the imaging depth, which is dependent on the three selected dyes that emit in the blue-green, yellow, and far-red regions, shows the importance of far-red emitting dyes for deep tissue imaging.

Abstract
Two-photon (TP) fluorescent probes are potential candidates for near-infrared (NIR) imaging which holds great promise in biological research. However, currently, most TP probes emit at wavelength <600 nm, which impedes their practical applications. In this work, we explored the TP properties of a silicon-rhodamine (SiR) derivative and hence developed the first SiR scaffold based "NIR-to-NIR" TP probe (SiRNO) for nitric oxide (NO). SiRNO exhibited high sensitivity and specificity, as well as fast response for NO detection. It was able to track the subtle variation of intracellular NO content in live cells. Owing to the NIR excitation and emission, SiRNO enabled the detection of NO in situ in the xenograft tumor mouse model, revealing the NO generation during the tumor progression. This work indicates that SiR can be an ideal platform for the development of NIR emissive TP probe and may thus promote the advancement of NIR imaging.

Abstract
In situ fluorescence imaging of nitric oxide (NO) is a powerful tool for studying the critical roles of NO in biological events. However, the selective imaging of NO is still a challenge because most currently available fluorescent probes rely on the o-phenylenediamine (OPD) recognition site, which reacts with both NO and some abundant reactive carbonyl species (RCS) (such as dehydroascorbic acid and methylglyoxal) and some reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). To address this problem, a new fluorescent probe, NCNO, based on the N-nitrosation of aromatic secondary amine was designed to bypass the RCS, ROS, and RNS interference. As was expected, the probe NCNO could recognize NO with pronounced selectivity and sensitivity among ROS, RNS, and RCS. The probe was validated by detecting NO in live cells and deep tissues owing to its two-photon excitation and red-light emission. It was, hence, applied to monitor NO in ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in mice kidneys by two-photon microscopy for the first time, and the results vividly revealed the profile of NO generation in situ during the renal IRI process.

Abstract
As a pivotal signalling molecule involved in various physiological and pathological processes, nitric oxide (NO) has motivated increasing interest in the last few decades. Although a considerable number of fluorescent probes have been developed for NO imaging, the in situ tracking of this gas molecule in biological events remains a big challenge, mainly because of the relatively short excitation and/or emission wavelengths, which are subject to background interference and lowered collection efficiency in deep-tissue imaging. Herein, we report a far-red emissive (650 nm) two-photon (TP) excitable NRNO probe, using Nile Red as the TP fluorophore, for NO detection and imaging both in vitro and in vivo. The NRNO probe shows a fast (within 180 s) and specific fluorescence response toward NO with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 46 nM. The excellent properties of NRNO enable it to sensitively detect both exogenously and endogenously generated NO in living cells. The "NIR in" and "far-red out" lights lead to improved penetrating ability, thus endowing the probe with high resolution for the illumination of deep tissues. It is therefore able to visualize the NO generation in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated inflammation process for the first time. Our results demonstrate that NRNO could be a practical tool for studying the NO-related biological events. Moreover, this study also suggests the possibility of using Nile Red and its derivatives to develop far-red emissive TP probes, which is an important, yet undeveloped area.

Abstract
The potential use of fluorescent molecular probes to measure ions and biomolecules has contributed incessantly to the understanding of chemical and biological systems. The approach has many advantages such as high sensitivity, simplicity and non-destructive cellular imaging that offer visible information about the targeted species. In this article, our objective is to discuss fluorescent probes that have sensing applications within the mitochondrial environment. Mitochondria are cellular organelles which are well known for their unique physiological functions and have been found to be associated with various diseases and disorders. It is therefore, important to develop new tools and tactics that can provide useful information concerning the mitochondrial environment which in turn is essential to understand its biophysical functioning and related diseases.

Abstract
Two strongly polarized dipolar chromophores possessing a cyclic tertiary amino group at one terminus of the molecule and a CN group at the opposite terminus were designed and synthesized. Their rigid skeleton contains the rarely studied pyrrolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline ring system. The photophysical properties of these regioisomeric dyes were different owing to differing π conjugation between the CN group and the electron-donor moiety. These dipolar molecules showed very intense emission, strong solvatofluorochromism, and sufficient two-photon brightness for bioimaging. One of these regioisomeric dyes, namely, 11-carbonitrile-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-3a,8,13,13b-tetraazabenzo[b]cyclohepta[1,2,3-jk]fluorene, was successfully utilized in two-photon imaging of mouse organ tissues and showed distinct tissue morphology with high resolution.

Abstract
A quadrupolar two-photon fluorescent probe for in vivo imaging of amyloid-β plaques is reported.
The formation of beta amyloid (Aβ) plaques in specific brain regions is one of the early pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To enable the early detection of AD and related applications, a method for real-time, clear 3D visualization of Aβ plaques in vivo is highly desirable. Two-photon microscopy (TPM) which utilizes two near-infrared photons is an attractive tool for such applications. However, this technique needs a sensitive and photostable two-photon (TP) probe possessing bright TP exited fluorescence to impart high signal-to-noise (S/N) visualization of Aβ plaques. Herein, we report a quadrupolar TP fluorescent probe (QAD1) having large TP action cross section (Φδmax = 420 GM) and its application for in vivo TPM imaging of Aβ plaques. This probe, designed with a centrosymmetric D–A–D motif with a cyclic conjugating bridge and solubilizing unit, displays bright TP excited fluorescence, appreciable water solubility, robust photostability, and high sensitivity and selectivity for Aβ plaques. Using the real-time TPM imaging of transgenic 5XFAD mice after intravenous injection of QAD1, we show that this probe readily enters the blood brain barrier and provides high S/N ratio images of individual Aβ plaques in vivo. We also used QAD1 in dual-color TPM imaging for 3D visualization of Aβ plaques along with blood vessels and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) inside living mouse brains. These findings demonstrate that this probe will be useful in biomedical applications including early diagnosis and treatments of AD.

Abstract
Mitochondrial pH (pHmito) is known to be alkaline (near 8.0) and has emerged as a potential factor for mitochondrial function and disorder. We have developed a ratiometric two-photon probe (CMP1) for quantitative analysis of pHmito in live cells and tissues. This probe is designed to function by controlling the intramolecular charge transfer from 2-naphthol, having an ideal pKa value (7.86 ± 0.05) in the cells to monitor pHmito. This transition results in a marked yellow to red emission color change in response to pH alterations from 6.0 to 9.0. CMP1 exhibits easy loading, selective and robust staining ability of mitochondria, low cytotoxicity, and bright two-photon excited fluorescence in situ, thereby allowing quantitative imaging of the pHmito in live cells and tissues. The ratiometric TPM imaging clearly reveals that subcellular distribution of the pHmito values is heterogeneous, with the pHmito values in the perinuclear region being higher than those at the periphery of the cells. The changes of pHmito values on carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP) treatment and autophagic processes were also investigated along with their morphological alterations at specific subcellular positions. We also used CMP1 to visualize the pHmito values of Parkinson's disease model astrocytes as well as living hippocampal tissues. Our results demonstrate that CMP1 will be useful as a quantitative imaging probe to study pHmito in biomedical research.
