Abstract
High-energy-density lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries suffer heavily from the polysulfide shuttle effect, a result of the dissolution and transport of intermediate polysulfides from the cathode, into the electrolyte, and onto the anode, leading to rapid cell degradation. If this primary mechanism of cell failure is to be overcome, the distribution, dynamics, and degree of polysulfide transport must first be understood in depth. In this work, operando optical fluorescence microscope imaging of optically accessible Li-S cells is shown to enable real-time qualitative visualization of the spatial distribution of lithium polysulfides, both within the electrolyte and porous cathode. Quantitative determinations of spatial concentration are also possible at a low enough concentration. The distribution throughout cycling is monitored, including direct observation of polysulfide shuttling to the anode and consequent dendrite formation. This was enabled through the optimization of a selective fluorescent dye, verified to fluoresce proportionally with concentration of polysulfides within Li-S cells. This ability to directly and conveniently track the spatial distribution of soluble polysulfide intermediates in Li-S battery electrolytes, while the cell operates, has the potential to have a widespread impact across the field, for example, by enabling the influence of a variety of polysulfide mitigation strategies to be assessed and optimized, including in this work the LiNO3 additive.

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
In this study, we have constructed a ratiometric fluorescence sensor for sensitive sensing of α-glucosidase activity based on WS2 QDs/ CoOOH nanosheet system. In this system, as an oxidase-imimicking nanomaterial, CoOOH nanosheet could convert o-phenylenediamine into 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP), which had a high fluorescence emission at 575 nm. The DAP subsequently could quench the fluorescence of WS2 QDs via the inner filter effect (IFE). L-Ascorbic acid-2-O-α-D-glucopyranose could be hydrolyzed by α-glucosidase to yield ascorbic acid. CoOOH nanosheet can be converted to Co2+ ions by ascorbic acid, leading to the fluorescence decrease of DAP and the fluorescence recovery of WS2 QDs. Therefore, a novel ratio fluorescence sensing strategy was established for α-glucosidase detection based on WS2 QDs/CoOOH nanosheet system. This WS2 QDs/CoOOH nanosheet system has a low detection limit of 0.009 U/mL for α-Glu assay. The proposed strategy succeeded in detecting α-Glu in human serum samples.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn, n > 1), as one of the important members of reactive sulfur species (RSS), plays a vital part in the processes of both their physiology and pathology. In this work, a ratiometric fluorescent probe for H2Sn had been designed and prepared based on the combination mechanism of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The probe chose a coumarin derivative as the energy donor, a naphthalimide derivative as the energy acceptor and 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoate as the H2Sn recognition group. When H2Sn was not present in the system, the ICT process of the naphthalimide acceptor was inhibited and the FRET process from the coumarin donor to the naphthalimide acceptor was turned off. When H2Sn was added, both ICT and FRET occurred due to the nucleophilic substitution-cyclization reactions between the probe and hydrogen polysulfide. In addition, the ratio value of the emission intensities at 550 nm and 473 nm (I550 nm/I473 nm) of this probe had a good linear relationship with H2Sn concentration in the range of 6.0 × 10-7-5.0 × 10-5 mol·L-1, and a detection limit of 1.8 × 10-7 mol·L-1 was obtained. The developed probe had high selectivity and sensitivity, as well as good biocompatibility. Additionally, the probe had been used to successfully image both indigenous and exogenous hydrogen polysulfide in A549 cells using confocal microscope.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is closely related to the physiopathology of numerous diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS) are direct participants and important biomarkers of oxidative stress. A comprehensive understanding of their changes can help us evaluate disease pathogenesis and progression and facilitate early diagnosis and drug development. In recent years, fluorescent probes have been developed for real-time monitoring of ROS, RNS and RSS levels in vitro and in vivo. In this review, conventional design strategies of fluorescent probes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection are discussed from three aspects: fluorophores, linkers, and recognition groups. We introduce representative fluorescent probes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection in cells, physiological/pathological processes (e.g., Inflammation, Drug Induced Organ Injury and Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury etc.), and specific diseases (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, depression, diabetes and cancer, etc.). We then highlight the achievements, current challenges, and prospects for fluorescent probes in the pathophysiology of oxidative stress-related diseases.

Organelle-Targeted Fluorescent Probes for Sulfane Sulfur Species. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12030590.

Abstract
Sulfane sulfurs, which include hydropersulfides (RSSH), hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn, n > 1), and polysulfides (RSnR, n > 2), play important roles in cellular redox biology and are closely linked to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling. While most studies on sulfane sulfur detection have focused on sulfane sulfurs in the whole cell, increasing the recognition of the effects of reactive sulfur species on the functions of various subcellular organelles has emerged. This has driven a need for organelle-targeted detection methods. However, the detection of sulfane sulfurs, particularly of RSSH and H2Sn, in biological systems is still a challenge due to their low endogenous concentrations and instabilities. In this review, we summarize the development and design of organelle-targeted fluorescent sulfane sulfur probes, examine their organelle-targeting strategies and choices of fluorophores (e.g., ratiometric, near-infrared, etc.), and discuss their mechanisms and ability to detect endogenous and exogenous sulfane sulfur species. We also present the advantages and limitations of the probes and propose directions for future work on this topic.

Abstract
Sulfane sulfur species such as hydropersulfides (RSSH), polysulfides (RSnR), and hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn) are critically involved in sulfur-mediated redox signaling, but their detailed mechanisms of action need further clarification. Therefore, there is a need to develop selective and sensitive sulfane sulfur detection methods to gauge a better understanding of their functions. This review summarizes current detection methods that include cyanolysis, chemical derivatization and mass spectrometry, proteomic analysis, fluorescent probes, and resonance synchronous/Raman spectroscopic methods. The design principles, advantages, applications, and limitations of each method are discussed, along with suggested directions for future research on these methods. The development of robust detection methods for sulfane sulfur species will help to elucidate their mechanisms and functions in biological systems.

Abstract
Autophagy is a cellular self-degrading process that plays a key role in cellular health and functioning. Since autophagy disorder is related to many diseases, it is highly important to detect autophagy. This study aimed to establish a dual-sensing mechanism-based ratiometric viscosity-sensitive lysosome-targeted two-photon fluorescent probe Vis-sun to track the autophagy process (the increase in lysosome viscosity during autophagy) by combining through bond energy transfer (TBET) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE). The introduction of TBET not only overcame the interference of background signals but also achieved the baseline separation of two emission peaks, thus reducing the crosstalk between emissions, as well as the noninvasive bio-sensing of biological targets and long-term real-time tracer imaging by introducing AIE. In vitro experiments showed that the fluorescence intensity at 485 nm decreased gradually on increasing the volume ratio of water to tetrahydrofuran (Vwater/VTHF), while the fluorescence intensity at 605 nm increased significantly. Also, the fluorescence signal was maximized when the water content reached 100%. At the same time, the probe exhibited a significant dependence on the ambient viscosity. Therefore, the dynamic monitoring of lysosome viscosity during autophagy and the in situ imaging of autophagy fluctuations during stroke-induced neuroinflammation were successfully achieved by implementing Vis-sun lysosome anchoring with morpholine.

Abstract
Fertilization and early embryonic development as the beginning of a new life are key biological events. Hydrogen polysulfide (H2 Sn ) plays important roles during physiological regulation, such as antioxidation-protection. However, no report has studied in situ H2 Sn fluctuation during early embryonic development because of the low abundance of H2 Sn and inadequate sensitivity of probes. We herein construct a polymeric nanobeacon from a H2 Sn -responsive polymer and fluorophores, which is capable of detecting H2 Sn selectively and of signal amplification. Taking the zebrafish as a model, the polymeric nanobeacon revealed that the H2 Sn level was significantly elevated after fertilization due to the activation of cell multiplication, suppressed partially during embryonic development, and finally kept steady up to zebrafish emergence. This strategy is generally accessible for biomarkers by altering the responsive unit and significant for facilitating biological analysis during life development.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn, n > 1) is an important active sulfur molecule (RSS) in organisms, which have been considered to be involved in redox signaling and cytoprotective processes. In this work, in order to quickly and accurately detect H2Sn in biosystems, 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoic ester was used as the response moiety for H2Sn, and the FRET strategy was adopted to effectively connect the donor (6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid) and acceptor (4-substituted-1,8-naphthalimide) to construct a new ratiometric H2Sn fluorescent probe NPNA-H2Sn. NPNA-H2Sn exhibited a more than ∼ 8.0-fold ratio enhancement towards H2Sn at I450/I526 and a very high sensitivity with a very low detection limit of 40.3 nM. Impressive, NPNA-H2Sn was further used for fluorescence imaging of H2Sn in living cells and zebrafish, which showed high-clear ratiometric images. Therefore, we have demonstrated that NPNA-H2Sn could be applied for ratiometric images of endogenous H2Sn in living biosystems and provide a powerful molecular tool for evaluating the physiological and pathological functions of H2Sn.

Abstract
Two-photon fluorescent probes with large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross sections have shown wide applications in biomedical domain. However, both the species and amounts of high efficient probes are far from meeting the requirements, one main reason is that the relationship between the molecular structures and the responsive mechanisms are not clear and theoretical framework in this field is not perfect. In this work, the photophysical properties including one- and two-photon absorption and emission of three newly synthesized fluorescent probes for hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn) detection are investigated by density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory with the polarizable continuum model in different solvents. Results indicate that the enhanced fluorescent intensity and enlarged TPA cross section can be found when the probes reacted with H2Sn. Moreover, the OPA intensity is largest and its fluorescent intensity is largely enhanced when detecting H2Sn for Pro2, this verifies its superior performance in the detection of H2Sn than Pro1 and Pro 3. Furthermore, the inner mechanism for the increase of TPA cross section is revealed, the responsive mechanisms for photo induced electron transfer (PET) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) processes are revealed through analyzing the energies and distributions of frontier orbitals. Our calculations provide theoretical perspectives for experimental measurements and could sever as a useful reference for developing advanced probes in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes containing 1,8-naphthalimide dyes have been used to detect biomolecules in the environmental and biological fields. However, most of the probes only exhibit single fluorescent output to one analyte, making them insufficient for detection of more analytes. Herein, we developed a novel 1,8-naphthalimide-based lysosome-targeting dual-analyte sensitive fluorescent probe (DPPP) for the detection of pH and palladium (Pd0) using two different emissive channels. The probe showed high selectivity, large Stokes shifts (Δλ ≥ 100 nm) and enhanced response to pH, with blue emission at 485 nm via a morpholine group, and responsive to Pd0 concentration, with yellow emission at 545 nm via an allylcarbamate group. The effect of DPPP was successfully observed for sensitive visualizing pH and Pd0 concentration in the lysosome of HeLa cells and zebrafish using fluorescence microscopy. This work provides guidance for the design of dual-analyte fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn, n > 1), which are important reactive sulfur species, play crucial roles in H2S-related bioactivities, including antioxidation, cytoprotection, activation of ion channels, transcription factor functions and tumour suppression. Monitoring H2Snin vivo is of significant interest for exploring the physiological roles of H2Sn and the exact mechanisms of H2Sn-related diseases. Herein, we conceive a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe, NIR-CPS, that is used to detect H2Sn in living cells and in vivo. With the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity and a remarkably large Stokes shift (100 nm), NIR-CPS was successfully applied in visualizing H2Sn in living cells and mice. More importantly, NIR-CPS monitored H2Sn stimulated by lipopolysaccharide in tumour-bearing mice. These results demonstrate that the NIR-CPS probe is a potentially powerful tool for the detection of H2Snin vivo, thus providing a valuable approach in H2Sn-related medical research.

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
Herein, we developed and designed a novel ratiometric optical chemisensor film for determining Al(III) and Cu(II) in low concentration ranges. The chemisensor film consists of (a) antibacterial drug Ciprofloxacin (CPFX) [1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(piperaziny-l-yl) quinolone-3carboxylic acid] and (b) a reference dye 5,10,15,20- tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin (TFPP) in a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix. PVC was applied as a homogeneous system for mixing CPFX and TFPP. The emission intensity of the CPFX in the PVC matrix varies depending on the concentrations of the Al(III) and Cu(II) ions. When the sensor film is immersed in different Al(III) concentrations, a significant fluorescence enhancement of the CPFX at (427 nm) is observed. Furthermore, the fluorescence intensity of the red emission of the TFPP dye at (644 nm) does not alter. However, in the presence of Cu(II) ions, a considerable emission quenching of the CPFX peak at (427 nm) is observed. PVC provides a great permeability and penetration facilities of dissolved ions that make the sensor film sensitive to Al(III) or Cu(II) changes outside the matrix. The film displays immense sensitivity depending on their distinctive optical characteristics of CPFX and detection capabilities within a low detection limit LOD for Al(III) and Cu(II). The LOD values were estimated to be 2.05 x 10-7 M and 1.04 x 10-7 M respectively with a relative standard deviation RSDr (1%, n=3). Density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) theoretical calculations were performed to study Cu(II) and Al(III) complexation structures and their electronic properties in solution and in the sensor film. The interference of the chemisensor film was examined using different cations and the chemisensor provides significant selectivity. We develop a new ratiometric chemisensor based on PVC polymer film for Al(III) and Cu(II) detection.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is believed to play an important role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and avoiding oxidative damage caused by abnormally raised ROS levels. Highly selective and sensitive fluorescent probes for the detection and imaging of endogenous H2S in living cells over other biological thiols are desirable. Herein, we developed a mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe L, a thioxanthene-benzo[e]indolium derivative, for the discrimination of H2S from other chemically similar biothiols. Based on the nucleophilic addition of H2S and the charged electron-deficient C[double bond, length as m-dash]N double bond within the benzo[e]indolium moiety, the generation of L-HS with a shortened π-conjugated system led to significant spectral changes in the visible region. Importantly, the probe L with mitochondria-targeting ability has been successfully used for imaging the endogenous H2S biosynthesized from Cys and GSH and in cellular antioxidant stress.

Abstract
Reactive sulfane sulfur, including persulfide and polysulfide, is a type of regular cellular component, playing an antioxidant role. Its function may be organelle-dependent; however, the shortage of probes for detecting organellar reactive sulfane sulfur has hindered further investigation. Herein, we reported a red fluorescent protein (mCherry)-based probe for specifically detecting intracellular reactive sulfane sulfur. By mutating two amino acid residues of mCherry (A150 and S151) to cysteine residues, we constructed a mCherry mutant, which reacted with reactive sulfane sulfur to form an intramolecular –Sn– bond (n ≥ 3). The bond largely decreased the intensity of 610 nm emission (excitation at 587 nm) and slightly increased the intensity of 466 nm emission (excitation at 406 nm). The 466/610 nm emission ratio was used to indicate the relative abundance of reactive sulfane sulfur. We then expressed this mutant in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The 466/610 nm emission ratio revealed that mitochondria had a higher level of reactive sulfane sulfur than cytoplasm. Thus, the mCherry mutant can be used as a specific probe for detecting reactive sulfane sulfur in vivo.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfides (H2S n , n > 1) have continuously been proved to act as important signal mediators in many physiological processes. However, the physiological role of H2S n and their signaling pathways in complex diseases, such as the most common liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), have not been elucidated due to lack of suitable tools for selective detection of intracellular H2S n . Herein, we adopted a general and practical strategy including recognition site screening, construction of a ratiometric probe and self-assembly of nanoparticles, to significantly improve the probes' selectivity, photostability and biocompatibility. The ratiometric probe PPG-Np-RhPhCO selectively responds to H2S n , avoiding interaction with biothiol and persulfide. Moreover, this probe was applied to image H2S n in NAFLD for the first time and reveal the H2S n generation pathways in the cell model of drug-treated NAFLD. The pathway of H2S n revealed by PPG-Np-RhPhCO provides significant insights into the roles of H2S n in NAFLD and future drug development.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide has emerged as an important gaseous signaling molecule and a regulator of critical biological processes. However, the physiological significance of hydrogen sulfide metabolites such as persulfides, polysulfides, and other reactive sulfur species (RSS) has only recently been appreciated. Emerging evidence suggests that these RSS molecules may have similar or divergent regulatory roles compared with hydrogen sulfide in various biological activities. However, the chemical nature of persulfides and polysulfides is complex and remains poorly understood within cardiovascular and other pathophysiological conditions. Recent reports suggest that RSS can be produced endogenously, with different forms having unique chemical properties and biological implications involving diverse cellular responses such as protein biosynthesis, cell-cell barrier functions, and mitochondrial bioenergetics. Enzymes of the transsulfuration pathway, CBS (cystathionine beta-synthase) and CSE (cystathionine gamma-lyase), may also produce RSS metabolites besides hydrogen sulfide. Moreover, CARSs (cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase) are also able to generate protein persulfides via cysteine persulfide (CysSSH) incorporation into nascently formed polypeptides suggesting a new biologically relevant amino acid. This brief review discusses the biochemical nature and potential roles of RSS, associated oxidative stress redox signaling, and future research opportunities in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn, n>1) plays crucial roles in many biological processes, while it remains a challenge for rapid and selective detection of H2Sn. We designed and synthesized a turn-on fluorescent probe (JCCF) for detecting H2Sn based on a new julolidine-coumarinocoumarin scaffold. H2Sn could trigger a dramatic fluorescence enhancement (52-fold) with a fast response time and a low detection limit of 98.3 nM (S/N = 3). Moreover, JCCF was successfully applied to image H2Sn in living cells and zebra fish with low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn, n > 1) have attracted increasing attention in biological systems due to its redox signaling effect. To illustrate the process of the physiological and pathological roles played by H2Sn, accurate detection is highly desired. In this work, we report a BODIPY-based fluorescent probe (BDP-PHS) for ratiometric H2Sn sensing. BDP-PHS shows higher sensitivity and selectivity ratiometric response toward H2Sn than various biological related species. Moreover, BDP-PHS has been successfully applied in imaging of H2Sn in living cells.

Abstract
A new efficient and practical fluorescent probe 6-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)naphthalen-2-yl-thiophene-2-carboxylate (probe 1) was synthesized to detect hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The addition of H2S caused the solution of probe 1 to change from colorless to yellow, and the solution of probe 1 changes to different colors with respect to different concentrations of H2S. Importantly, probe 1 could help detect H2S efficiently by a distinct color response as a visible detection agent. Probe 1 reacted with various concentrations of H2S (0-200 μM), and the detection limit for H2S was 0.10 μM. Particularly, probe 1 can be applied as a sensor to detect H2S accurately in wine samples.

Abstract
This paper reports on a colorimetric assay for H2O2 and glucose. It is based on the use of human serum albumin-templated MnO2 nanosheets that possess oxidase-like activity. They are capable of oxidizing 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with oxygen to give a blue product (oxTMB) with an absorbance maximum at 652 nm. When H2O2 is introduced, the MnO2 nanosheets are reduced to Mn(II) ions, and this inhibits the formation of oxTMB. Based on these findings, a colorimetric assay was established for H2O2 that has a 0.56 μM detection limit. If glucose is oxidized by glucose oxidase under formation of H2O2, the nanosheets can be used to quantify H2O2 and thereby to sense glucose. Response is linear in the 0.5 μM to 50 μM glucose concentration range, and the detection limit is 0.32 μM. The method was applied to the determination of glucose in spiked serum samples and gave satisficatory results. Graphical abstract Human serum albumin (HSA) is used as a template for the synthesis of MnO2 nanosheet. These possess oxidase mimicking activity. H2O2 can reduce the nanosheets. The effect is exploited in colorimetric assays for H2O2 and glucose using tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a chromogenic substrate.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a significant global issue affecting the health of organisms. Oxygen homeostasis is critical for mammalian cell survival and cellular activities. Hypoxic stress can lead to cell injury and death, which contributes to many diseases. Sulfane sulfur is involved in crucial roles in physiological processes of maintaining intracellular redox state and ameliorating oxidative damage. Therefore, real-time imaging of changes in sulfane sulfur levels is important for understanding their biofunctions in cells. In this study, we develop a new near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe BD-diSeH for imaging of sulfane sulfur changes in cells and in vivo under hypoxic stress. The probe includes two moieties: an NIR azo-BODIPY fluorophore equipped with a strong nucleophilic phenylselenol group (-SeH). The probe is capable of tracing dynamic changes of endogenous sulfane sulfur based on a fast and spontaneous intramolecular cyclization reaction. The probe has been successfully used for imaging sulfane sulfur in 3D-multicellular spheroid and mouse hippocampus under hypoxic stress. The overall levels of sulfane sulfur are affected by the degree and length of hypoxic stress. The results reveal a close relationship between sulfane sulfur and hypoxia in living cells and in vivo, allowing better understanding of physiological and pathological processes involving sulfane sulfur. Moreover, to investigate the effects of environmental hypoxia on aquatic animals, this probe has been applied for sulfane sulfur detection in hypoxic zebrafish.

Abstract
Ample evidence suggests that H2S is an important biological mediator, produced by endogenous enzymes and microbiota. So far, several techniques including colorimetric methods, electrochemical analysis and sulfide precipitation have been developed for H2S detection. These methods provide sensitive detection, however, they are destructive for tissues and require tedious sequences of preparation steps for the analyzed samples. Here, we report synthesis of a new fluorescent probe for H2S detection, 4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl 5-azidopentanoate (1). The design of 1 is based on combination of two strategies for H2S detection, i.e., reduction of an azido group to an amine in the presence of H2S and intramolecular lactamization. Finally, we measured salivary H2S concentration in healthy, 18–40-year-old volunteers immediately after obtaining specimens. The newly developed self-immolative coumarin-based fluorescence probe (C15H15N3O4) showed high sensitivity to H2S detection in both sodium phosphate buffer at physiological pH and in saliva. Salivary H2S concentration in healthy volunteers was within a range of 1.641–7.124 μM.

Abstract
Sulfane sulfur refers to ionized sulfur that is reversibly attached to other sulfur atoms in the form of 6-valence electrons (S0). Sulfane sulfur possesses stronger nucleophilicity and reducibility than hydrogen sulfide in a series of physiological reactions, which probably makes sulfane sulfur the actual signal molecule in cells. Herein, we designed and synthesized a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe BD-diSH for sensitive detection and imaging of sulfane sulfur in living cells and in vivo. The probe BD-diSH is composed of two moieties: the fluorophore azo-BODIPY and the sulfane sulfur recognition unit, viz., 2-mercapto benzoate. BD-diSH displayed high sensitivity and selectivity towards sulfane sulfur. The mercapto group (-SH) of 2-mercapto benzoic acid can nucleophilically capture the sulfur atom of thiosulfoxide tautomers in sulfane sulfur to form -SSH. The group -SSH will immediately induce intramolecular cyclization reaction and release the azo-BODIPY fluorophore to emit NIR fluorescence. The probe BD-diSH was successfully applied to detect and image sulfane sulfur in the cytoplasm of the living cells. The results illustrated that the endogenous and exogenous sulfane sulfur level changed depending on different cell lines. BD-diSH was also capable of imaging the level changes of sulfane sulfur in mice. The above applications make our new probe a potential chemical tool for the study of physiological and pathological functions of sulfur sulfide in living cells and in vivo.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been recognized as an important endogenous gasotransmitter associated with biological signaling transduction. However, recent biological studies implied that the H2S-related cellular signaling might actually be mediated by hydrogen polysulfides (H2S n , n > 1), not H2S itself. Unraveling such a mystery strongly demanded the quantification of endogenous H2S n in living systems. However, endogenous H2S n has been undetectable thus far, due to its extremely low concentration within cells. Herein, we demonstrated a strategy to detect ultra-trace endogenous H2S nvia a fluorescent τ-probe, through changes of fluorescence lifetime instead of fluorescence intensity. This τ-probe exhibited an ultrasensitive response to H2S n , bringing about the lowest value of the detection limit (2 nM) and a lower limit of quantification (10 nM) to date. With such merits, we quantified and mapped endogenous H2S n within cells and zebrafish. The quantitative information about endogenous H2S n in cells and in vivo may have a significant implication for future research on the role of H2S n in biology. The methodology of the τ-probe established here might provide a general insight into the design and application of any fluorescent probes, beyond the limit of utilizing fluorescence intensity.
