Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is not only a well-established toxic gas but also an important small molecule bioregulator in all kingdoms of life. In contemporary biology, H2S is often classified as a "gasotransmitter," meaning that it is an endogenously produced membrane permeable gas that carries out essential cellular processes. Fluorescent probes for H2S and related reactive sulfur species (RSS) detection provide an important cornerstone for investigating the multifaceted roles of these important small molecules in complex biological systems. A now common approach to develop such tools is to develop "activity-based probes" that couple a specific H2S-mediated chemical reaction to a fluorescent output. This Review covers the different types of such probes and also highlights the chemical mechanisms by which each probe type is activated by specific RSS. Common examples include reduction of oxidized nitrogen motifs, disulfide exchange, electrophilic reactions, metal precipitation, and metal coordination. In addition, we also outline complementary activity-based probes for imaging reductant-labile and sulfane sulfur species, including persulfides and polysulfides. For probes highlighted in this Review, we focus on small molecule systems with demonstrated compatibility in cellular systems or related applications. Building from breadth of reported activity-based strategies and application, we also highlight key unmet challenges and future opportunities for advancing activity-based probes for H2S and related RSS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Schizophrenia is a chronic and complex severe psychiatric disorder. Male and female are different in their risks for schizophrenia for the biologic and sociocultural reasons. Homocysteine (Hcy), Cysteine (Cys), and methionine (Met) play important roles in metabolism, and the three amino acids may also be involved in pathogenesis of schizophrenia. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to test the associations between sulfur-containing amino acid blood levels and risk of schizophrenia, evaluating the different risk in male and female. METHODS We organized a case-control study on 876 individuals with schizophrenia and 913 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects as control group. The concentrations of Hcy, Cys and Met were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technology. Subsequently, restricted cubic spline was applied to explore full-range associations of these amino acids with schizophrenia. Interactions between levels of the three amino acids and sex on additive scale were also tested. RESULTS Hcy levels at ≤29 μmol/L were associated with sharply increased risk of schizophrenia, inversely, Met was associated with sharply decreased risk of schizophrenia at levels ≤22 μmol/L. Increased Cys levels were associated with decreased risk of schizophrenia. Almost inverse associations were observed between Cys/Hcy and Met/Hcy ratios and schizophrenia. Significant synergistic interactions between levels of all the three amino acids and sex were discovered on an additive scale. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests a close association between sulfur-containing amino acids and schizophrenia with different risk in male and female. Future studies are demanded to clarify the pathogenic role of Hcy, Cys and Met in schizophrenia.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and its bioderivatives analogs, such as L-cysteine (L-Cys) and glutathione (GSH), are ubiquitous biological thiols in the physiological and pathological processes of living systems. Their aberrant concentration levels are associated with many diseases. Although several NBD-based fluorescence probes have been developed to detect biological thiols, the HPLC-detection of H2S, GSH, L-Cys, and N-acetylcysteine-specific products has not been described. Herein, a novel NBD-derived pro-coumarin probe has been synthesized and used to develop a new strategy for the triple mode detection of H2S and such thiols as GSH, L-Cys, and NAC. Hydrogen sulfide and those biothiols at physiological pH release fluorescent coumarin from the probe and cause a significant fluorescence enhancement at 473 nm. The appropriate NBD-derived product for H2S, L-Cys, GSH, and NAC has a different color and retention time that allows distinguishing these biological thiols meaning the probe has a great possibility in the biological application. Fluorescent imaging combined with colorimetric and HPLC detection of H2S/biothiol-specific product(s) brings a potential tool for confirming the presence of biological thiols and determining concentrations in various aqueous biological samples.

Abstract
Biothiols, associated with multiple physiological and pathological processes, have structural similarities. Monitoring Biothiols selectively in organisms is of great significance. Burdened by the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, the applications of conventional biothiols fluorescent probes are extremely limited. Herein, we developed a "turn-on" type aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorescent probe BQM-NBD, which was composed of a BQM-OH fluorophore molecule with AIE effect and the recognition group 7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD). Non-fluorescent BQM-NBD produces strong fluorescence after the addition of cysteine (Cys) or homocysteine (Hcy). BQM-NBD exhibited excellent linearity for selective detection of Cys (0-100 Μm) and Hcy (0-50 μM) with detection limits of 6.0 × 10-8 M and 8.4 × 10-8 M, respectively. Simultaneously, after treatment with glutathione (GSH), it appeared no fluorescence. The results demonstrated BQM-NBD exhibited good selectivity to Cys/Hcy. Furthermore, BQM-NBD was successfully performed in the imaging of Cys in living cells with low cytotoxicity, which provides a feasible strategy for the selective detection of Cys in the living system.

Abstract
Cellular viscosity is a prominent micro-environmental parameter and peroxynitrite is an essential reactive oxygen special, both of which are involved in various pathological and physiological processes. When the intracellular viscosity is abnormal or the ONOO- concentration is irregular, the normal function of cells will be disturbed. Herein, we rationally designed and synthesized a novel multichannel fluorescent probe (probe 1) for multichannel imaging of viscosity and peroxynitrite. Probe 1 displayed about 108-fold enhancement as the viscosity increased from 1.005 cP to 1090 cP. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity at 540 nm was quickly increased after adding ONOO-. It should be noted that probe 1 has high sensitivity, selectivity and low cytotoxicity, which can be successfully employed for the visualization of exogenous and endogenous ONOO- and imaging viscosity changes in HeLa cells by different fluorescent signals. Furthermore, probe 1 could monitor the change of ONOO- induced by LPS (lipopolysaccharide) and IFN-γ (interferon-γ) in zebrafish. This result reveals that probe 1 may inspire more diagnostic and therapeutic programs for viscosity-peroxynitrite related diseases shortly.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) play pivotal roles in various pathological and physiological processes. There exists an intricate relevance in generation and metabolism among these substances. Although they are nucleophilic, there are still some differences in their reactivity. There are many methods to detect them by using reactive fluorescent probes, but the systematic study of their reactivity is still lacking. In our study, we designed a multiple reaction site fluorescent probe based on benzene conjugated benzopyrylium and NBD. The study revealed that besides both biothiols and hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide (SO2) can cleave the ether bond. There are two reaction forms for GSH with low reactivity: cutting the ether bond and adding the conjugated double bond of benzopyrylium. Nevertheless, Cys/Hcy with higher activity can further rearrange with NBD after cutting the ether bond. In addition, SO2 can not only cleave the ether bond, but also continue to add the conjugated double bond of benzopyrylium. The above processes lead to multicolor emission of the probe, thus realizing the characteristic analysis of different sulfides. Thus the probe can be used for the detection of sulfide in mitochondria, and further for the imaging of sulfide in cells and zebrafish. This effective analysis method will provide a broad application prospect for practical applications.

Abstract
In this work, we presented a long-wavelength emission fluorescent probe DCM-Cou-SePh that can discriminatively detect glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn, n > 1) from green and red emission channels, respectively. With the addition of GSH, probe DCM-Cou-SePh displayed green fluorescence emission (λex/em = 430/530 nm). In the presence of H2Sn, the probe exhibited a significant fluorescence enhancement in red channel (λex/em = 560/680 nm). We also demonstrated that this probe was suitable to quantitatively detect GSH and H2Sn with low detection limits (0.12 μM for GSH, 0.19 μM for H2Sn). Furthermore, DCM-Cou-SePh can be used for sensing endogenous GSH and H2Sn in living cells by dual-color fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Compounds with a nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) skeleton exhibit prominent useful properties including environmental sensitivity, high reactivity toward amines and biothiols (including H2S) accompanied by distinct colorimetric and fluorescent changes, fluorescence-quenching ability, and small size, all of which facilitate biomolecular sensing and self-assembly. Amines are important biological nucleophiles, and the unique activity of NBD ethers with amines has allowed for site-specific protein labelling and for the detection of enzyme activities. Both H2S and biothiols are involved in a wide range of physiological processes in mammals, and misregulation of these small molecules is associated with numerous diseases including cancers. In this review, we focus on NBD-based synthetic probes as advanced chemical tools for biomolecular sensing. Specifically, we discuss the sensing mechanisms and selectivity of the probes, the design strategies for multi-reactable multi-quenching probes, and the associated biological applications of these important constructs. We also highlight self-assembled NBD-based probes and outline future directions for NBD-based chemosensors. We hope that this comprehensive review will facilitate the development of future probes for investigating and understanding different biological processes and aid the development of potential theranostic agents.

Abstract
Development of the methods to examine the molecular targets of biologically active compounds is one of the most important subjects in experimental biology/biochemistry. To evaluate the usability of the (7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole)-thioether (NBD-S) probe for this purpose, bioactive chemical probe (1) as the cellulose biosynthesis (CB) inhibitor was synthesized and tested. As a result, a variety of fluorescently-labeled particles and organelles were found in the columella root cap cells of radish plants. Of note, well-defined cellular organelles were clearly recognized in the detaching root cap cells (border-like cells). These results imply that the bioactive NBD-S chemical probe could be a valuable direct-labeling reagent. Analysis of these fluorescent substances would be helpful in providing new information on defined molecular targets and events. •Nobel S-NBD type chemical probe for cellulose biosynthesis inhibitors was prepared. •This S-NBD type probe was designed for triaziflam and indaziflam. •This S-NBD type probe labeled columella and detaching root cap cells fluorescent. •S-NBD probe would be practical as a target exploring tool compound.

Monitoring cysteine level changes under LPS or H 2O 2 induced oxidative stress using a polymer-based ratiometric fluorescent probe. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1174:338738.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is a critical amino acid that involves in many physiological and pathological processes in the human body, and it plays an important role in maintaining redox homeostasis in living systems. The concentration of intracellular Cys is abnormal under oxidative stress thus leading to many diseases. Therefore, it is significant to develop an effective method for detection of Cys under oxidative stress. In this work, we propose a new polymer-based ratiometric fluorescent probe with good selectivity and sensitivity for detecting Cys. The bioimaging experiments results show that the novel probe has a rapid ratiometric response to Cys, which can be used to monitor Cys level changes during LPS or H2O2 induced oxidative stress in living cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys), homocystine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), are generally known to result in various diseases. A fast dual-responsive OFF-ON fluorescent probe HBO-AC was synthesized and developed. Non-fluorescent HBO-AC can sense Cys by regaining fluorescence at 444 nm within 10 min and a response to GSH by restoring fluorescence at 349 nm within 20 min. There is no mutual interference with Δλ ca. 100 nm. A novel method was developed by utilizing a low reaction rate between HBO-AC and Hcy to eliminate common interference from Hcy. A successful determination of Cys and GSH in fetal bovine serum (FBS) indicated that the probe had potential application for clinical diagnosis. Moreover, it was confirmed that HBO-AC can resist interference from protein to some extent, since FBS was not pretreated before use.

Abstract
In recent years, there have been many reports of fluorescent probes for multi-channel detection of Cys, Hcy and GSH. Particularly, reports of fluorescent probes using NBD (7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole) or SNBD (7-nitro-1,2,3-benzothiadiazole) moieties as fluorophores are particularly common. Unfortunately, their 4-sulfhydryl derivatives exhibited negligible fluorescence, which makes them incapable of detecting GSH directly. Herein, by performing single selenium-for-oxygen atom replacement within 4-chloro-substituted NBD (NBD-Cl), we developed a small molecule fluorescent probe based on a single atom replacement strategy, which enables the probe to be used for simultaneously distinguishing Cys/Hcy and GSH, along with fluorescence imaging of Cys/Hcy and GSH in live cells from red and green emission channels, respectively.

In this paper, we successfully synthesized a simple and versatile fluorescent probe. This probe was not only easily prepared with a high yield, but also showed rapid selective and sensitive responses for Cys/Hcy and GSH. The probe can be used as a naked-eye detector for Cys/Hcy and GSH from other analytes. As a fluorescent sensor, it can be used to simultaneously detect and discriminate Cys/Hcy from GSH with two fluorescent emission signals without spectral crosstalk.

Abstract
Significant efforts have been made to develop robust and reliable methods for simultaneous biothiols determination in different matrices, but there still exist the problems such as easy oxidation, tedious derivatization, and difficulty in discrimination, which brings unsatisfactory results in their accuracy and fast quantification in biological samples. To overcome these problems, a simultaneous biothiols detection method combining a "selenium signature" chemical probe and paper spray mass spectrometry (PS-MS) was proposed. In the strategy, the modified-paper substrate is used to enhance the analytical performance. Chemical probe Ebselen-NH2 that has a specific response to biothiols was designed and covalently fixed on the surface of an oxidized paper substrate. By the identification of derivatized product with distinctive selenium isotope distribution and employment of the optimized PS-MS method, qualitative and quantitative analysis of five biothiols including glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), cysteinylglycine (CysGly), N-acetylcysteine (Nac), and homocysteine (Hcy) were realized. Biothiols in plasma and cell lysates were measured with satisfactory results. The established method not only provides a novel protocol for simultaneous determination of biothiols, but also is helpful for understanding the biological and clinical roles played by these bioactive small molecules.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) and reactive selenium species (RSeS) are important substances for the maintenance of physiological balance. Imbalance of RSS and RSeS is closely related to a series of human diseases, so it is considered to be an important biomarker in early diagnosis, treatment, and stage monitoring. Fast and accurate quantitative analysis of different RSS and RSeS in complex biological systems may promote the development of personalized diagnosis and treatment in the future. One way to explore the physiological function of various types of RSS and RSeS in vivo is to detect them at the molecular level, and one of the most effective methods for this is to use fluorescent probes. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions are commonly exploited as a detection mechanism for RSS and RSeS in fluorescent probes. In this review, we cover recent progress in fluorescent probes for RSS and RSeS based on SNAr reactions, and discuss their response mechanisms, properties, and applications. Benzenesulfonate, phenyl-O ether, phenyl-S ether, phenyl-Se ether, 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD), benzoate, and selenium-nitrogen bonds are all good detection groups. Moreover, based on an integration of different reports, we propose the design and synthesis of RSS- and RSeS-selective probes based on SNAr reactions, current challenges, and future research directions, considering the selection of active sites, the effect of substituents on the benzene ring, and the introduction of other functional groups.

Abstract
In order to evaluate 7-sulfonamide benzoxadiazole (SBD) derivatives for the development of fluorescent probes, herein we investigated the thiolysis reactivity and selectivity of a series of SBD compounds with different atoms (N/O/S/Se) at the 4-position. Both SBD-amine and SBD-ether are stable toward biothiols in buffer (pH 7.4), while SBD-selenoether can react efficiently with biothiols GSH/Hcy, Cys, and H2S to produce SBD-SG/S-Hcy, SBD-NH-Cys, and SBD-SH, respectively, with three different sets of spectral signals. Therefore, the SBD-selenoether compounds should be useful platforms for the differentiation of these biothiols. Though SBD-alkylthioether shows much lower reactivity than SBD-selenoether, SBD-arylthioether is a tunable motif and structural modifications at the aryl moiety enable the rate of thiol-mediated thiolysis to be modified. To this end, an ER-targeted GSH-selective fluorescent probe 7 was rationally designed via thiolysis of SBD-arylthioether. Compared with control probe SBD-Cl, probe 7 exhibits improved GSH selectivity and better biocompatibility. In total, this study highlights that the modification at the 4-position of SBD is an efficient strategy for the development of new fluorescent probes with tunable reactivity and selectivity.

Abstract
Biothiols such as l-cysteine, l-homocysteine, and glutathione play essential roles in many biological processes, and are directly associated with several health conditions. Therefore, the development of fast, selective, sensitive, and inexpensive methods for quantitatively analyzing biothiols in aqueous solution, but especially in biological samples, is a very attractive research field. In this feature review, we have approached the relevance of biothiols' nucleophilicity to develop selective fluorogenic probes. Since biothiols have considerable structural similarity, relevant strategies are in full development, including several fluorescent molecular platforms, specific receptor sites, reaction conditions, and optical responses. All of these features are properly presented and discussed. Biothiol sensing protocols are based on traditional organic chemistry reactions such as (hetero)aromatic nucleophilic substitution, addition, and substitution at carbonyl carbon, conjugate addition, and nucleophilic substitution at saturated carbon, amongst others including combined processes; furthermore, mechanistic aspects are detailed herein, including some interesting historical contexts. The feasibility of related fluorogenic probes is illustrated by analysis in complex matrices such as serum, cells, tissues, and animal models. Applications of these reactions in more complex systems such as sulfhydryl-based peptides and proteins are also presented, aiming at functionalizing and detecting these nucleophiles. Most literature cited in this review is recent; however, some other prominent works are also detailed. It is believed that this review may be accessible for many academic levels and may efficiently contribute not only to popularizing science but also to the rational development of fluorogenic probes for biothiol sensing.

Abstract
Emerging from the origins of supramolecular chemistry and the development of selective chemical receptors that rely on lock-and-key binding, activity-based sensing (ABS)-which utilizes molecular reactivity rather than molecular recognition for analyte detection-has rapidly grown into a distinct field to investigate the production and regulation of chemical species that mediate biological signaling and stress pathways, particularly metal ions and small molecules. Chemical reactions exploit the diverse chemical reactivity of biological species to enable the development of selective and sensitive synthetic methods to decipher their contributions within complex living environments. The broad utility of this reaction-driven approach facilitates application to imaging platforms ranging from fluorescence, luminescence, photoacoustic, magnetic resonance, and positron emission tomography modalities. ABS methods are also being expanded to other fields, such as drug and materials discovery.

Abstract
Two of the most critical factors for the survival of glioblastoma (GBM) patients are precision diagnosis and the tracking of treatment progress. At the moment, various sophisticated and specific diagnostic procedures are being used, but there are relatively few simple diagnosis methods. This work introduces a sensing probe based on a turn-on type fluorescence response that can measure the cysteine (Cys) level, which is recognized as a new biomarker of GBM, in human-derived cells and within on-site human clinical biopsy samples. The Cys-initiated chemical reactions of the probe cause a significant fluorescence response with high selectivity, high sensitivity, a fast response time, and a two-photon excitable excitation pathway, which allows the imaging of GBM in both mouse models and human tissue samples. The probe can distinguish the GBM cells and disease sites in clinical samples from individual patients. Besides, the probe has no short or long-term toxicity and immune response. The present findings hold promise for application of the probe to a relatively simple and straightforward following of GBM at clinical sites.

Abstract
Biological thiols including homocysteine (Hcy), cysteine (Cys), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and glutathione (GSH) play crucial roles in various pathological and physiological processes. The development of optical probes for biothiols has been an active research area in recent years. Herein, a new turn-on fluorescence probe (HD-NBD) was designed and synthesized by fusing tetrahydro[5]helicene and 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) for simultaneous discrimination of Hcy/Cys, H2S and GSH in aqueous solution. This probe is able to show unique absorbance enhancement at 548 nm for H2S and additional fluorescence enhancement at 536 nm only for Cys/Hcy, which can be used to discriminate H2S, Cys/Hcy and GSH simultaneously. In addition, HD-NBD also shows low background without any self-fluorescence, as well as high selectivity toward common biothiols. The low detection limits of this probe are about 0.15 μM for Hcy with a wide linear range (1-80 μM), 0.36 μM for Cys (linear range: 1-45 μM), 0.79 μM for H2S (linear range: 1-80 μM) and 4.44 μM for GSH (linear range: 1-60 μM). Moreover, HD-NBD can identify Hcy/Cys, H2S from GSH and other amino acids with high sensitivity and selectivity, therefore it could be used for detecting endogenous and exogenous Hcy/Cys under biological condition.

Abstract
Fluorophores that are sensitive to their environment are useful tools for sensing chemical changes and probing biological systems. Here, we extend responsive fluorophores to the fluorous phase with the synthesis of a reduction-sensitive fluorous-soluble fluorogenic coumarin. We demonstrate that this fluorophore responds to various reducing agents, most notably glutathione, a key biological reductant. The fluorous solubility of this probe allows for its encapsulation into two different fluorous nanomaterials: perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions and fluorous core-shell micelles. The fluorogenic coumarin allows us to study how efficiently these vehicles protect the contents of their interior from the external environment. In the presence of glutathione, we observe different degrees of release for micelles and emulsions. This understanding will help guide future applications of fluorous nanomaterials as drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is an important antioxygen and free radical scavenger in the organism. Level of GSH in vivo is associated with many diseases and specific recognition for GSH is very important. Here, a pyrene chalcone derivative 1 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(1-pyrenyl)-2-propen-1-one as specific probe for GSH was developed. The probe can give rise to rapid blue fluorescence enhancement for GSH based on Michael addition reaction in pure PBS solution with high sensitivity, fast response rate and high specificity. The compound also can be applied for GSH detection in HeLa cell. Simultaneously, the compound exhibits blue fluorescence emission enhancement in methanol-water (1:1, v/v) solution with fluorescence quantum yield being 0.45 due to the competition of water molecules for hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl and carbonyl and the formation of structurally regular rodlike crystals, which allows regulating fluorescence emission by different solvent condition.

Abstract
A fluorescent probe, 4-(benzothiazole-2-ylthio)-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (TBT-NBD) was developed for cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy). The reaction mechanism was based on the Cys/Hcy-induced nucleophilic substitution of benzothiazole thioether then Smiles rearrangement reaction to form corresponding amino-nitrobenzoxadiazole, which emitted yellow-green fluorescence and guaranteed the high selectivity for Cys/Hcy over glutathione (GSH). TBT-NBD could detect Cys/Hcy within 5 min in the presence of high concentration of GSH and other amino acids. Moreover, TBT-NBD had been exploited to identify intracellular Cys/Hcy in living cells in light of its low toxicity.

Abstract
H2S is an important endogenous gasotransmitter, and its detection in living systems is of great significance. Especially, selective and sensitive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent H2S probes with rapid response and large Stokes shift are highly desirable because of their superiority for in vivo detection. Probes with nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) ether as reaction sites have been well-explored recently to detect biothiols or H2S/biothiols simultaneously, rather than to detect H2S selectively. In this work, a new NBD ether-based NIR fluorescent probe was developed, which was unexpectedly found to show high selectivity for H2S over various other analytes including biothiols, making it practical for specific detection of H2S both in vitro and in vivo. Upon response to H2S, this probe showed rapid and significant turn-on NIR emission changes centered at 744 nm within 3 min, together with a remarkable large Stokes shift (166 nm) and high sensitivity (LOD: 26 nM). Moreover, imaging exogenous and endogenous H2S in living cells and rapid imaging of H2S in living mice with this probe was successfully applied with excellent performance.

Abstract
Acrylate has been widely used as the recognition unit for Cys fluorescent probes. Despite this widespread use, a potential drawback of this probe type is that the ester linkage between the fluorophore and acryloyl recognition unit is liable to be hydrolyzed by abundant esterase in the cytosol, thus affording a high background signal. To solve this problem, we herein put forward a new strategy to construct a selective fluorescent probe for cysteine (Cys)/homocysteine (Hcy) with propynamide as the recognition moiety. The free probe CPA displays weakly fluorescent emission in aqueous media because of the donor-excited photoinduced electron transfer (d-PET) process within the molecule. The Michael addition of Cys (or Hcy) thiols to the conjugated alkyne of CPA gives the expected β-sulfido-α,β-unsaturated amides (1a/1b), which subsequently undergo an intramolecular S,N rearrangement, yielding β-amino-α,β-unsaturated amides (2a/2b) as the final products. The above cascade reaction results in the blockage of d-PET within CPA, thus affording a dramatic fluorescence enhancement at 495 nm. The involvement of the sulfhydryl and the adjacent amino groups in the sensing process renders CPA high selectivity for Cys/Hcy over glutathione as well as other amino acids. The probe has been successfully applied to image Cys in different cell lines. Further, CPA shows two-photon fluorescence properties, and its ability to monitor Cys in deep tissues has been demonstrated by using two-photon microscopy.

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
In this work, a novel probe D-HBT-NBD (1O) based on diarylethene to detect biothiols (including Cys, Hcy and GSH) was synthesized and the relative colorimetric and fluorescent properties were tested. The probe exhibited excellent photochromic properties and showed apparent colorimetric and fluorescent signals for Cys, Hcy and GSH. The probe can selectively detect Cys, Hcy and GSH by naked eyes for its open-ring isomer 1O and can discriminate Cys from Hcy/GSH by apparent color change from light orange to dark pink at the closed-ring state under the irradiation of UV light. At the excitation wavelength of 465 nm, the probe could be used to discriminate GSH from Cys/Hcy with no fluorescent emission at 570 nm. Taking advantage of the photochromic property of the diarylethene moiety and the different fluorescent properties of NBD derivatives of GSH and Cys/Hcy, 1O could be used as a novel probe to discriminate Cys, Hcy and GSH from each other simultaneously. Meanwhile, a logic gate was constructed based on the colorimetric and fluorescent properties of 1O.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of Cys, Hcy and GSH are associated with various diseases, thus monitoring biothiols is of great significance. In this work, a dual-emission responsive near-infrared fluorescent probe NIR-NBD for detecting Hcy and Cys/GSH was developed based on the conjugation of a dicyanoisophorone based fluorophore (NIR-OH) and 7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD). To our surprise, the addition of Hcy induced significant fluorescence enhancement at both 549 and 697 nm; while Cys/GSH resulted in major fluorescence emission at 697 nm. The detection limit was determined to be 33.2 nM for Cys, 33.5 nM for Hcy, and 34.4 nM for GSH. Therefore, the probe can be used for discriminative detection of Hcy and Cys/GSH. Moreover, fluorescence imaging of HeLa cells indicated that the probe was cell membrane permeable and could be used for visualizing Hcy and Cys/GSH in living cells.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a critical endogenous signaling molecule, is widely involved in many physiological processes. Endoplasmic reticulum, an important organelle with a sac-like structure, plays crucial roles in maintaining the normal function of cells. Accordingly, monitoring the H2S levels in endoplasmic reticulum is of great importance. Herein, we have developed an endoplasmic reticulum-targetable fluorescent probe, ER-CN, for H2S detection. ER-CN features excellent sensing properties, such as high sensitivity and selectivity. In addition, ER-CN exhibits low cytotoxicity and a fine endoplasmic reticulum targeting property (with a Pearson's colocalization coefficient of 0.95). Significantly, visualization of H2S in the endoplasmic reticulum of living HeLa cells by using ER-CN was successfully realized.

Abstract
The development of an efficient ratiometric two-photon fluorescence imaging probe is crucial for in situ monitoring of biothiol cysteine (Cys) in biosystems, but the current reported intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-based one suffers from serious overlap between the shifted emission bands. To address this issue, we herein for the first time constructed an ICT-mediated two-photon excited fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TP-FRET) system consisting of a two-photon fluorogen benzo[ h]chromene and a Cys-responsive benzoxadiazole-analogue dye. Different from a previous mechanism that utilized single two-photon fluorogen to acquire a ratiometric signal, ICT was used to switch on the TP-FRET process of the energy transfer dyad by eliciting an absorption shift of benzoxadiazole with Cys to modulate the spectral overlap level between benzo[ h]chromene emission and benzoxadiazole absorption, resulting in two well-separated emission signal changes with large emission wavelength shift (120 nm), fixed two-photon excitation maximum (750 nm), and significant variation in fluorescence ratio (over 36-fold). Therefore, it can be successfully employed to ratiometrically visualize Cys in HeLa cells and liver tissues. Importantly, this new ICT-mediated TP-FRET integration mechanism would be convenient for designing ratiometric two-photon fluorescent probes with two well-resolved emission spectra suitable for high resolution two-photon fluorescence bioimaging.

Abstract
Electrochromic materials (EMs) are widely used color-switchable materials, but their applications as stimuli-responsive biomaterials to monitor and control biological processes remain unexplored. This study reports the engineering of an organic π-electron structure-based EM (dicationic 1,1,4,4-tetraarylbutadiene, 12+) as a unique hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-responsive chromophore amenable to build H2S-activatable fluorescent probes (12+-semiconducting polymer nanoparticles, 12+-SNPs) for in vivo H2S detection. We demonstrate that EM 12+, with a strong absorption (500-850 nm), efficiently quenches the fluorescence (580, 700, or 830 nm) of different fluorophores within 12+-SNPs, while the selective conversion into colorless diene 2 via H2S-mediated two-electron reduction significantly recovers fluorescence, allowing for non-invasive imaging of hepatic and tumor H2S in mice in real time. Strikingly, EM 12+ is further applied to design a near-infrared photosensitizer with tumor-targeting and H2S-activatable ability for effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) of H2S-related tumors in mice. This study demonstrates promise for applying EMs to build activatable probes for molecular imaging of H2S and selective PDT of tumors, which may lead to the development of new EMs capable of detecting and regulating essential biological processes in vivo.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active fluorescent probes have attracted great potential in biological sensors. In this paper two cyanostilbene based fluorescence chemoprobe Cya-NO2 (1) and Cya-N3 (2) were developed and evaluated for the selective and sensitive detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Both of these probes behave aggression-induced emission (AIE) activity which fluoresces in the red region with a large Stokes shift. They exhibit rapid response to H2S with enormous colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent changes. They are readily employed for assessing intracellular H2S levels.
