Abstract
Pharmacological research has expanded to the nanoscale level with advanced imaging technologies, enabling the analysis of drug distribution at the cellular organelle level. These advances in research techniques have contributed to the targeting of cellular organelles to address the fundamental causes of diseases. Beyond navigating the hurdles of reaching lesion tissues upon administration and identifying target cells within these tissues, controlling drug accumulation at the organelle level is the most refined method of disease management. This approach opens new avenues for the development of more potent therapeutic strategies by delving into the intricate roles and interplay of cellular organelles. Thus, organelle-targeted approaches help overcome the limitations of conventional therapies by precisely regulating functionally compartmentalized spaces based on their environment. This review discusses the basic concepts of organelle targeting research and proposes strategies to target diseases arising from organelle dysfunction. We also address the current challenges faced by organelle targeting and explore future research directions.

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
Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) molecules, which feature large Stokes shifts to avoid self-absorption, play an essential role in photoluminescent bioimaging probes. Herein, we report the development of an ESIPT molecule 3-(3-hydroxypyridin-2-yl)isoquinolin-4-ol (PiQ). PiQ not only undergoes a distinct ESIPT process unlike the symmetrical 2,2'-bipyridyl-3,3'-diol but also exhibits aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. PiQ self-assembles into aggregates with an average size of 241.0±51.9 nm in aqueous solutions, leading to significantly enhanced photoluminescence. On the basis of the ESIPT and AIE characteristics of PiQ, the latter is functionalized with a hydrogen peroxide-responsive 4-pinacoratoborylbenzyl group (B) and a carboxylesterase-responsive acetyl group (A) to produce a photoluminescent probe B-PiQ-A. The potential of PiQ for applications in bioimaging and chemical sensing is underscored by its efficient detection of both endogenous and exogenous hydrogen peroxide in living cells.

Abstract
Chronic wound healing is one of the most complicated biological processes in human life, which is also a serious challenge for human health. During the healing process, multiple biological pathways are activated, and various kinds of reactive oxygen species participate in this process. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) involves in chronic wounds and its concentration is fluctuated in different pathological stages during the wound healing process. Therefore, H2O2 may be recognized as a powerful biomarker to indicate the wound healing process. However, the pathological roles of H2O2 cannot be fully understood yet. Herein, we proposed a near-infrared fluorescent probe DCM-H2O2 for highly sensitive and rapid detection of H2O2 in living cells and scald and incision wound mice models. DCM-H2O2 exhibited a low detection limit and high specificity with low cytotoxicity for H2O2, which had great potential for its application in vivo. The probe was successfully utilized to monitor the fluctuation of endogenous H2O2 in the proliferation process of human immortalized epidermal (HACAT) cells, which confirmed that H2O2 participated in the cells' proliferation activity through a growth factor signaling pathway. In the scald and incision wound mice models, H2O2 concentration fluctuations at different pathological stages during the wound healing process could be obtained by in vivo fluorescence imaging. Finally, H2O2 concentrations in different stages of human diabetic foot tissues were also confirmed by the proposed probe. We expect that H2O2 could be a sensitive biomarker to indicate the wound healing process.

Abstract
The development of drug delivery systems with real-time cargo release monitoring capabilities is imperative for optimizing nanomedicine performance. Herein, we report an innovative self-reporting drug delivery platform based on a ROS-responsive random copolymer (P1) capable of visualizing cargo release kinetics via the activation of an integrated fluorophore. P1 was synthesized by copolymerization of pinacol boronate, PEG, and naphthalimide monomers to impart ROS-sensitivity, hydrophilicity, and fluorescence signaling, respectively. Detailed characterization verified that P1 self-assembles into 11 nm micelles with 10 μg mL-1 CMC and can encapsulate hydrophobic curcumin with 79% efficiency. Fluorescence assays demonstrated H2O2-triggered disassembly and curcumin release with concurrent polymer fluorescence turn-on. Both in vitro and in vivo studies validated the real-time visualization of drug release and ROS scavenging, as well as the therapeutic effect on osteoarthritis (OA). Overall, this nanotheranostic polymeric micelle system enables quantitative monitoring of drug release kinetics for enhanced treatment optimization across oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Faced with rising threats of terrorism, environmental and health risks, achieving sensitive and selective detection of peroxide-based explosives (PEs) has become a global focus. In this study, a turn-on fluorescent probe (BOD) based on benzil (H2O2-recognition element) and 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) derivative (fluorophore) was developed to sensitively and specifically detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The synthesized BOD had a very weak fluorescence due to intramolecular donor-excited photo-induced electron transfer (d-PET) effect; however, it could emit a strong fluorescence since H2O2 selectively oxidized the benzil moiety and released free BODIPY fluorophore (BOD-COOH). As a result, the proposed BOD detected H2O2 in linear detection ranged from 25 to 125 µM with a detection limit of 4.41 µM. Meanwhile, the proposed BOD showed good selectivity toward H2O2, which is not affected by other common reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ions from explosive residues. In addition, a blue shift from 508 to 498 nm was observed in the absorption spectra upon addition of H2O2. More importantly, the BOD was successfully applied for rapid detection of H2O2 vapor with good sensitivity (down to 7 ppb), which holds great potential for practical use in public safety, forensic analysis and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Heightened concentrations of reactive metabolites, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), can damage all macromolecules leading to the erosion of cellular fidelity. In this regard, the control of ROS in the nuclues is essential for cellular homeostasis, and dysregulation of nuclear ROS has been attributed to multiple pathologies and the mechanism of action of certain chemotherapies. How nuclear ROS is generated, detoxified and sensed is poorly understood, and stems in part, from a historical lack of tools that allow for its precise generation and detection. Here, we summarize the latest advances in chemical biology inspired approaches that have been developed to study nuclear ROS and highlight how these tools have led to major breakthroughs in understanding its regulation. The continued development and application of chemical biology approaches to understand nuclear ROS promises to unlock fundamental insights into human physiology and disease.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) plays an essential role in biological systems. The characteristics of potent oxidization and short lifetime make it challenging to detect specifically from other reactive oxygen species (ROS) at cellular levels. Therefore, its detection and imaging with high selectivity and sensitivity are of great significance. Herein a turn-on HClO fluorescent probe (named RNB-OCl) with boronate ester as the recognition site was designed and synthesized. The RNB-OCl displayed good selective and ultrasensitive to HClO with a low detection limit of 1.36 nM by the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) dual mechanism in reducing the fluorescence background and improving the sensitivity. In addition, the role of the ICT-FRET was further demonstrated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. Furthermore, the probe RNB-OCl was successfully employed for imaging HClO in living cells.

Here, we illustrate the value of this chemical platform to enable new biological discovery through a case study in the design and application of ABS reagents for studying hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a major type of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that regulates a diverse array of vital cellular signaling processes to sustain life. Specifically, we summarize advances in the use of activity-based boronate probes for the detection of H2O2 featuring high molecular selectivity over other ROS, with an emphasis on tailoring designs in chemical structure to promote new biological principles of redox signaling.

Abstract
A new type of dye with advantages of high selectivity and sensitivity is formed by using the strategy of hybridization between the luminescent unit and recognition unit. Based on this strategy, we exploit a novel dye bonding the benzopyrylium salt as a luminescent unit and phenylboronate group as a response site, which is served as a fluorescent probe 1 for specific recognition of hydrogen peroxide in biological application. Probe 1 employs a unique recognition switch, phenylboronate unit, to"turn-on"a highly specific and rapid fluorescence response toward hydrogen peroxide combined with the 1,6-rearrangement elimination reaction strategy. Meanwhile, probe 1 has the ability to glucose assay by taking advantage of glucose oxidase/glucose enzymatic reaction. What's more, the probe 1 is capable of tracking endogenous hydrogen peroxide in living cells and intracellular imaging. Therefore, the newly developed bioprobe 1 is expected to be used to monitor hydrogen peroxide and glucose levels in complex organisms.

Abstract
Bilirubin (BR) is a tetrapyrrolic compound stemming from heme catabolism with diverse physiological functions. It can be oxidized by H2O2 to form several degradation products, some of which have been detected in vivo and may contribute to the pathogenesis of certain diseases. However, the oxidative degradation of BR is complex and the conditions that BR degradation occurs pathophysiologically remain obscure. Neutrophils are known to generate large amounts of reactive oxygen species, including H2O2, upon activation and they are mobilized to inflammatory sites; therefore, we hypothesized that activated neutrophils could cause BR degradation, which could occur at inflammatory sites. In the present study, we investigated BR degradation by H2O2 and identified hematinic acid (BHP1) and a new product BHP2, whose structure was characterized as 2,5-diformyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-propanoic acid. An LC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of the two compounds was then established. Using the LC-MS/MS method, we observed the concentration-dependent formation of BHP1 and BHP2 in mouse neutrophils incubated with 10 and 30 μM of BR with the yields being 16 ± 3.2 and 31 ± 5.9 pmol/106 cells for BHP1, and 25 ± 4.4 and 71 ± 26 pmol/106 cells for BHP2, respectively. After adding phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a neutrophil agonist, to 30 μM of BR-treated cells, the BHP1 yield increased to 43 ± 6.6 pmol/106 cells, whereas the BHP2 one decreased to 47 ± 9.2 pmol/106 cells. The two products were also detected in hemorrhagic skins of mice with dermal inflammation and hemorrhage at levels of 4.5 ± 1.9 and 0.18 ± 0.10 nmol/g tissue, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the non-hemorrhagic skins. BHP2 was neurotoxic starting at 0.10 μM but BHP1 was not, as assessed using Caenorhabditis elegans as the animal model. Neutrophil-mediated BR degradation may be a universally pathophysiological process in inflammation and can be particularly important under pathological conditions concerning hemorrhage.

Abstract
Characterizing metabolism in cancer is crucial for understanding tumor biology and for developing potential therapies. Although most metabolic investigations analyze averaged metabolite levels from all cell compartments, subcellular metabolomics can provide more detailed insight into the biochemical processes associated with the disease. Methodological limitations have historically prevented the wider application of subcellular metabolomics in cancer research. Recently, however, ways to distinguish and identify metabolic pathways within organelles have been developed, including state-of-the-art methods to monitor metabolism in situ (such as mass spectrometry-based imaging, Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy), to isolate key organelles via new approaches and to use tailored isotope-tracing strategies. Herein, we examine the advantages and limitations of these developments and look to the future of this field of research.

Abstract
The development of fluorescent probes for nitroreductase (NTR) has received intense attention because of its biological significance and wide application. In this work, a novel fluorescent probe for the detection of NTR in aqueous solution was designed and synthesized on a 1,8-naphthalimide scaffold. In the presence of NTR and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) under physiological conditions, the probe was converted into a 4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalimide derivative and exhibited a sharp fluorescence enhancement at 550 nm, with a high selectivity for NTR over various analytes. The detection limit for NTR was determined to be 9.8 ng/ml by this probe. Due to its low signal background, this probe showed > 70-fold fluorescence enhancement. Theoretical calculations revealed that the reason for the fluorescence quenching of this probe is the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from both the nitrobenzene and morpholine groups to the naphthalimide fluorophore.

Abstract
Aberrant production of H2O2 is involved in cancer. The levels of H2O2 are significantly higher in tumor cells than in normal cells. It is important to develop fluorescent probes to image basal H2O2 selectively in tumor cells. So far, a cancer cell-targeting probe to image basal H2O2 has not been reported. Thus, we developed a fluorescent probe, BBHP, which contains benzil as a H2O2-recognition site and biotin as a target binding motif for the selective and sufficient detection of H2O2 in tumor cells. BBHP enables a selective fluorescence turn-on response to H2O2. The binding of the probe with biotin receptors can greatly accelerate the fluorescence response to H2O2. As a result, BBHP can sufficiently image basal H2O2 in biotin receptor-positive cancer cells and tumor tissues. Finally, BBHP was successfully applied to discriminate between cancerous and normal tissues.

Abstract
We have developed a turn-on photoluminescence protocol to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) utilizing a supramolecular hydrogel as a sensing platform. Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in formulations, starting from healthcare products to explosives. It is also known to induce deleterious health effects at its irregular physiological concentration and considered as a biomarker in various disease conditions. We designed molecule 2, which releases the Tb3+ sensitizer biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (1) upon unmasking by hydrogen peroxide. This chemistry led us to develop a sensitive photoluminescence assay for H2O2 through the 1-induced photoluminescence of terbium (Tb3+) in a hydrogel matrix. Paper discs (0.45 cm) were coated with the soft hydrogel to make the sensing process simple and cost-effective. The green luminescence from the paper discs, observed under a UV lamp, allowed naked-eye detection of H2O2 in the micromolar level without any sophisticated instrumentation. Image processing software or a plate reader can be used for the accurate quantification of the analyte in micromolar and nanomolar ranges. Several commercial hand sanitizers containing hydrogen peroxide were tested by this method. The results indicated that this low-cost system could be practically adopted, especially in resource-limited areas, to quantify/detect H2O2 for quality control purposes or other applications.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes along with fluorescence microscopy are essential tools for biomedical research. Various cellular ubiquitous chemical factors such as pH, H2O2, and Ca2+ are labeled and traced using specific fluorescent probes, therefore helping us to explore their physiological function and pathological change. Among them, intracellular pH value is an important factor that governs biological processes, generally ∼7.2. Furthermore, specific organelles within cells possess unique acid-base homeostasis, involving the acidic lysosomes, alkalescent mitochondria, and neutral endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, which undergo various physiological processes such as intracellular digestion, ATP production, and protein folding and processing. In this review, recently reported fluorescent probes targeted toward the lysosomes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and cytoplasm for sensing pH change are discussed, which involves molecular structures, fluorescence behavior, and biological applications.

Abstract
Esterase activity is often used as an index to evaluate the health status of cells and plays an important role in cell metabolism and apoptosis. Herein, we develop two fluorescent probes for visual biosensing of esterase activity and imaging in living cells. In vitro, after the introduction of esterase, enzymolysis destroys the ester bond of the probe, causing the fluorescent color of probe changes from yellow to red, thus realizing the visual strategy for determination of esterase activity, with high sensitivity and selectivity. Especially, probe VA, 2-(4-acetoxystyryl)-3-ethyl-1,1-dimethyl- 1H-benzo[e]indol-3-ium, exhibits higher sensitivity with a lower detection limit (up to 7.15 × 10-6 U/mL). In the cell experiment, the fluorescent probe VA also shows good biocompatibility and high spatial resolution, and is successfully applied to the intracellular fluorescent imaging and biosensing of esterase in living cells. More importantly, the probe VA can judge the unhealthy state of H2O2-induced HeLa cells using dual-fluorescence signals. The results confirm that the fluorescence method is a reliable tool for detecting endogenous esterase in living biological system.

Abstract
DNA phosphorothioation (PT) is widely distributed in the human gut microbiome. In this work, PT-diet effect on nematodes was studied with PT-bioengineering bacteria. We found that the ROS level decreased by about 20–50% and the age-related lipofuscin accumulation was reduced by 15–25%. Moreover, the PT-feeding worms were more active at all life periods, and more resistant to acute stressors. Intriguingly, their lifespans were prolonged by ~21.7%. Comparative RNA-seq analysis indicated that many gene expressions were dramatically regulated by PT-diet, such as cysteine-rich protein (scl-11/12/13), sulfur-related enzyme (cpr-2), longevity gene (jnk-1) and stress response (sod-3/5, gps-5/6, gst-18/20, hsp-12.6). Both the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis suggested that neuroactivity pathways were upregulated, while phosphoryl transfer and DNA-repair pathways were down-regulated in good-appetite young worms. The findings pave the way for pro-longevity of multicellular organisms by PT-bacterial interference. Qiang Huang et al. fed C. elegans with E. coli containing phosphorothioate (PT) DNA or a control strain and evaluated the impact on animal physiology. They observed that worms fed PT( + ) diets exhibited low reactive oxygen species, more active movement, and a longer lifespan compared to controls, suggesting that PT-DNA may have a positive effect on animal health.

Abstract
Fluorescent tools have emerged as an important tool for studying the distinct chemical microenvironments of organelles, due to their high specificity and ability to be used in non-destructive, live cellular studies. These tools fall largely in two categories: exogenous fluorescent dyes, or endogenous labels such as genetically encoded fluorescent proteins. In both cases, the probe must be targeted to the organelle of interest. To date, many organelle-targeted fluorescent tools have been reported and used to uncover new information about processes that underpin health and disease. However, the majority of these tools only apply a handful of targeting groups, and less-studied organelles have few robust targeting strategies. While the development of new, robust strategies is difficult, it is essential to develop such strategies to allow for the development of new tools and broadening the effective study of organelles. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the major targeting strategies for both endogenous and exogenous fluorescent cargo, outlining the specific challenges for targeting each organelle type and as well as new developments in the field.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide is the most stable reactive oxygen species generated endogenously, participating in numerous physiological processes and abnormal pathological conditions. Mounting evidence suggests that a higher level of H2 O2 exists in various disease conditions. Thus, H2 O2 functions as an ideal target for site-specific bioimaging and therapeutic targeting. The unique reactivity of organoborons with H2 O2 provides a method for developing chemoselective molecules for biological and biomedical applications. This review highlights the design and application of boron-derived molecules for H2 O2 detection, and the utility of boron moieties toward masking reactive compounds leading to the development of metal prochelators and prodrugs for selectively delivering an active species at the target sites with elevated H2 O2 levels. Additionally, the emergence of H2 O2 -responsive theranostic agents consisting of both therapeutic and diagnostic moieties in one integrated system are discussed. The purpose of this review is to provide a better understanding of the role of boron-derived molecules toward biological and pharmacological applications.

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
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as a key member of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), has a certain regulatory effect on many physiological processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. However, abnormal production of H2O2 can cause diseases including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, and so on. Therefore, it is important to detect changes in H2O2 at the subcellular level. In recent years, many fluorescent probes for H2O2 have been developed and used in living cells. In this review, we introduce some typical fluorescent probes for H2O2 with mitochondrial and lysosomal targeting. This review contains targeting strategies, detection mechanisms, optical characteristics and cell imaging of these probes.

Abstract
Inflammation is an important protection reaction in living organisms associated with many diseases. Since peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is engaged in the inflammatory processes, illustrating the key nexus between ONOO- and inflammation is significant. Due to the lack of sensitive ONOO- in vivo detection methods, the research still remains at its infancy. Herein, a highly sensitive NIR fluorescence probe DDAO-PN for in vivo detection of ONOO- in inflammation progress was reported. The probe responded to ONOO- with significant NIR fluorescence enhancement at 657 nm (84-fold) within 30 s in solution. Intracellular imaging of exogenous ONOO- with the probe demonstrated a 68-fold fluorescence increase (F/F0). Impressively, the probe can in vivo detect ONOO- fluxes in LPS-induced rear leg inflammation with a 4.0-fold fluorescence increase and LPS-induced peritonitis with an 8.0-fold fluorescence increase The remarkable fluorescence enhancement and quick response enabled real-time tracking of in vivo ONOO- with a large signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. These results clearly denoted that DDAO-PN was able to be a NIR fluorescence probe for in vivo detection and high-fidelity imaging of ONOO- with high sensitivity and will boost the research of inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a crucial signal molecule plays a vital part in the growth and development of various cells under normal physiological conditions. The development of H2O2 sensors has received great research interest because of the importance of H2O2 in biological systems and its practical applications in other fields. In this study, a H2O2 electrochemical sensor was constructed based on chalcogenide molybdenum disulfide-gold-silver nanocomposite (MoS2-Au-Ag). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were utilized to characterize the nanocomposites, and the electrochemical performances of the obtained sensor were assessed by two electrochemical detection methods: cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The results showed that the MoS2-Au-Ag-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) has higher sensitivity (405.24 µA mM-1 cm-2), wider linear detection range (0.05-20 mM) and satisfactory repeatability and stability. Moreover, the prepared sensor was able to detect the H2O2 discharge from living tumor cells. Therefore, this study offers a platform for the early diagnosis of cancer and other applications in the fields of biology and biomedicine.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays essential roles in redox signaling and oxidative stress, and its dynamic concentration is critical to human health and diseases. Here we report the design, syntheses, and biological applications of HKPerox-Red and HKPerox-Ratio for quantitative measurement of H2O2. Both probes were successfully applied to detect endogenous H2O2 fluxes in living cells or zebrafish, and biological effects of multiple stress inducers including rotenone, arsenic trioxide, and starvation were investigated. As H2O2 is a common by-product for oxidase oxidation, a general assay was developed for ultrasensitive detection of various metabolites (glucose, uric acid, and sarcosine). Moreover, cellular H2O2 measurements were achieved for the first time by combining flow cytometry with live cell calibration. This study provides a pair of unique molecular tools for advanced H2O2 bio-imaging and assay development.

Abstract
Boronate-based molecular probes are emerging as one of the most effective tools for detection and quantitation of peroxynitrite and hydroperoxides. This review discusses the chemical reactivity of boronate compounds in the context of their use for detection of biological oxidants, and presents examples of the practical use of those probes in selected chemical, enzymatic, and biological systems. The particular reactivity of boronates toward nucleophilic oxidants makes them a distinct class of probes for redox biology studies. We focus on the recent progress in the design and application of boronate-based probes in redox studies and perspectives for further developments.

Abstract
Early detection of drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of further injury. It remains challenging, however, because of the lack of activatable indicators with multimodality imaging capability that could increase the accuracy of diagnosis by mutual verification. Herein, we report an activatable probe, FDOCl-22, that enabled dual-modality detection of the early-stage drug-induced AKI. FDOCl-22 was completely soluble in water and highly sensitive to hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Dramatic increases of both near-infrared (NIR) emission and absorption were observed after reaction with HOCl. A correlation between HOCl concentration and drug-induced AKI was established using FDOCl-22 as a tool. As a consequence, the HOCl-activated probe was able to detect the early-stage drug-induced AKI by dual-modality imaging, irrespective of the drug stimulation time or dosage, by combining NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging.

Abstract
Detecting myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in living organisms is important because MPO contributes to the pathogenesis of many diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, artherosclerosis, neurodegenerative disease, and some cancers. However, rapid and effective methods for the detection of basal MPO activity in living systems have not yet been reported. Herein, we report a near-infrared (NIR) emissive "turn-on" probe FD-301 that can specifically bind to MPO and accurately measure MPO activity in living cells and in vivo via a rapid response to initial hypochlorous acid (HOCl), produced by MPO. Notably, FD-301 could detect the basal level of MPO activity in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60) and could discriminate between MPO high-expression and low-expression cells. Furthermore, FD-301 was successfully applied to in vivo imaging of MPO in MPO-dependent diseases, such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
A customizable fluorescent probe platform that can be used to detect various bioactive analytes offers significant potential for engineering a wide range of bioprobes with diverse sensing and imaging functions. Here, we show a facile and innovative strategy for introducing cis-amino-proline as a carrier scaffold, which is appended with three specific functional groups: a target group, a water-soluble group, and fluorophores with triggers. The potency of the designed strategy could be customized to generate variable multifunctional fluorescent probes for detecting bioactive species of interest, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), reactive sulfur species (RSS), ROS/RSS, and even enzymes. We designed and synthesized five representative water-soluble and organelle-targeted compounds, PMB, PMN, PMD, PRB, and PME, with emission wavelengths of these fluorescent probes varying from blue to red (465, 480, 535, 550, 565, and 640 nm). This strategy could be exemplified by its application to develop a mitochondria-/lysosome-targeting multifunctional fluorescent probe capable of imaging bioactive species of interest in live cells and nude mice.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays vital roles in diverse physiological processes. Thus, herein, to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, a new near-infrared region (NIR) fluorophore (PCN) based on reduced phenazine was developed. PCN was further designed as a "turn on" fluorescent probe (PCN-BP) for the detection of H2O2 by introducing p-boratebenzyl. After H2O2 was added, the p-boratebenzyl group in PCN-BP was oxidized to p-hydroxy benzyl; it then self-departed, forming PCN, which displayed 24-fold NIR emission at 680 nm with a large Stokes shift (more than 200 nm). This probe presented an excellent linear relation with the concentration of H2O2 and good selectivity to various ions, ROS and biothiols; thus, it can be utilized as a colorimetric and fluorescence turn-on probe. More importantly, the probe was also employed for the exogenous and endogenous imaging of H2O2 in RAW 264.7 cells.

Abstract
Although biothiols, including cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH), and homocysteine (Hcy) can be used to diagnose many diseases and research physiological metabolism in many physiological processes, in situ real-time detection and differentiation of biothiols is still challenging because their similar chemical properties and molecular structures. Herein, we utilized the native chemical ligation (NCL) reaction mechanism to develop a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy for designing a cell penetration peptide TAT-modified ratiometric two-photon biothiols probe (TAT-probe). The TAT-probe can not only rapidly enter into mitochondria assisted by TAT peptide, but also simultaneously detect biothiols and sequentially distinguish GSH. When the TAT-probe was excited with 404/820 nm wavelength light, it showed a change in the ratio of fluorescence after adding biothiols, including a quenched red fluorescence intensity (λem = 585 nm) and an enhanced signal in green fluorescence intensity (λem = 520 nm). Excitingly, the TAT-probe excited at 545 nm could display a red fluorescence (λem = 585 nm) towards GSH and a quenched signal towards Hcy or Cys. This specific fluorescence response indicated the TAT-probe could effectively detect biothiols and differentiate GSH from Cys/Hcy in mitochondria. This work pioneered a new approach to design and synthesize biothiol-probes based on peptides and NCL reaction mechanism.

Abstract
The fluorescence of adenosine monophosphate-capped bimetallic gold and silver nanoclusters (type AuAgNC@AMP) is strongly enhanced and blue shifted in the presence of Al(III). As confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, the AuAgNC nanodots are converted to larger assembled spheres of type AuAgNC-Al(III). The fluorescence enhancement is attributed to aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE). The fluorescence of the AuAgNC-Al(III) assembly (with excitation and emission maxima at 340 and 540 nm) is quenched by cysteine (Cys). The effect was applied to the fluorometric determination of Cys. The assay works in the 1.0 to 16.0 μM Cys concentration range and has a 50 nM limit of detection. The method was successfully applied to analyze Cys-spiked mineral waters and serum. The quenching mechanism is explored in depth. It is attributed to the partial replacement of AMP by Cys at the surface of the AuAgNC and alteration of the assembly structure from large spherical particles to a strip shape. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of the fluorescence enhancement of bimetallic nanoclusters capped with adenosine monophosphate by using Al(III), and its application in selective and sensitive determination of cysteine via ligand replacement and reassembly.

Abstract
Few studies determined the role of intracellular labile Ca2+ in H2S homeostasis. Undoubtedly, fluorescent probes are powerful tools for exploring the question because of their unique advantages: non-destruction, visualization, and multi-levels imaging. Herein, a near-infrared (λem = 687 nm) and methylene blue chromophore-based fluorescent probe (MB1) for H2S was rationally developed. Based on its high sensitivity and selectivity, MB1 was employed to image the concentration change of H2S, upon stimulating it with ionomycin (a specific calcium ionophore). We found that the intracellular labile Ca2+ acted as a promotor for H2S production in living cells. Furthermore, cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) might have functioned as a positive mediator of Ca2+-dependent H2S production. These direct and visible links for H2S/Ca2+ will help us to understand the complex signaling in a better way.

Abstract
Although fluorescence tracing of small bioactive molecules in living cells has been extensively studied, it is still a challenging task to detect their variations in the nucleus mainly due to the impermeable nuclear membrane and nucleic acid interference. Herein, we take advantage of the nucleic acid enriched environment in the nucleus to establish a strategy, named "charge-driven tripod somersault on DNA", for ratiometric fluorescence imaging of small bioactive molecules in the nucleus. Taking SO2 derivatives as a typical target analyte, a tripodal probe has been constructed by conjugating two DNA binding groups containing a SO2 derivative reaction site. Mechanism studies demonstrate that upon encountering and reacting with SO3 2-/HSO3 -, a charge variation occurs at the responsive arm of the tripodal probe, triggering a tripod somersault on DNA, resulting in the conformational rearrangement of the DNA binding modes with DNA-modulated fluorescence change, which allows the second emission feature to emerge. In this strategy, probe-DNA binding is not influenced by RNA or non-specific protein association, thus making it ideal for tracing nucleus-localized analytes. The application of this strategy has realized both in vitro and in vivo ratiometric fluorescence imaging of the variations of endogenous SO2 derivatives in the nucleus for the first time, with high specificity and selectivity. Also, in theory, this strategy opens up a new avenue for the design of fluorescence probes for the nucleus-localized biological analytes.

Abstract
RNA-based fluorescent probes are currently limited by their low selectivity toward RNA versus DNA, and low specificity to different RNA structures. Poor membrane permeability is another defect of existing fluorogenic RNA probes for intracellular imaging. In this work, a naphthalimide derivative, probe 1, was developed for the rapid and selective detection of intracellular rRNA (rRNA). Probe 1 exhibited a 32-fold fluorescent enhancement in response to rRNA binding and showed desirable selectivity for rRNA versus DNA and other nucleic acids in phosphate buffer at pH 7.2. Importantly, probe 1 displayed excellent permeability of the nucleolus, could be taken up in 1 min by four different cell lines, and may be the fastest nucleolus dye. The excellent selectivity of probe 1 toward rRNA is attributed to the specific interaction between the complicated 3D structures of rRNA, which was confirmed by quantum calculations using molecular docking simulations. An appropriate lipophilic balance in 1 with the hydrophilic amine group and hydrophobic naphthalimide, as well as its high water solubility, guarantees the high permeability of 1 in cell membranes and nucleolus pores, compared to other analogues (e.g., probes 2-8 in this work). Furthermore, enlarged confocal laser micro images of nucleoli and RNase digestion tests revealed that 1 remained highly selective toward rRNA, even for intracellular imaging. As a live cell probe, 1 also exhibited better photostability than the commercial RNA dye, SYTO RNA select.

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.
