Design, synthesis and application of dual-channel fluorescent probes for ratiometric detection of HClO and H 2S based on phenothiazine coumarins. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 316:124312.

Abstract
The ubiquity of diverse material entities in environmental matrices renders the deployment of unifunctional fluorescent indicators inadequate. Consequently, this study introduces a ratiometric dual-emission fluorescent sensor (Probe CP), synthesized by conjugating phenothiazine coumarin to hydroxycoumarin through a piperazine linker for concurrent detection of HClO and H2S. Upon interaction with HClO, the phenothiazine unit's sulfur atom undergoes oxidation to sulfoxide, facilitating a shift from red to green fluorescence in a ratiometric manner. Concurrently, at the opposite terminus of Probe CP, 2,4-dinitroanisole serves as the reactive moiety for H2S recognition; it restores the blue emission characteristic of 7-hydroxycoumarin while maintaining the red fluorescence emanating from phenothiazine coumarin as an internal standard for ratio-based assessment. Exhibiting elevated specificity and sensitivity coupled with minimal detection thresholds (0.0506 μM for HClO and 1.7292 μM for H2S) alongside rapid equilibration periods (3 min for HClO and half an hour for H2S), this sensor was efficaciously employed in cellular environments and within zebrafish models as well as imaging applications pertaining to alcohol-induced hepatic injury in murine subjects.

Abstract
Two spirobifluene-based fluorescent probes SPF1 and SPF2, were designed and synthesized. The probes displayed "turn-on" fluorescence response for Cysteine. One of the challenges in developing a Cysteine probe is to secure high selectivity. SPF1/SPF2 can discriminate Cysteine from GSH as well as Hcy, and showed high substrate selectivity. The detection limit of SPF1 is 36 nM, which is excellent comparing with other optical sensors for Cysteine. The sensing mechanism of SPF1/SPF2 was verified by experimental data and theoretical calculations. There was a good linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity of SPF1/SPF2 and the concentration of Cysteine. The MTT tests indicated that SPF1/SPF2 had low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that SPF1, SPF2, and their related reaction products with Cysteine exhibited good two-photon absorption properties. Finally, SPF1/SPF2 had been successfully applied to the imaging of Cysteine in living cells under two-photon excitation.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes play a crucial role in elucidating cellular processes, with NAD(P)H sensing being pivotal in understanding cellular metabolism and redox biology. Here, the development and characterization of three fluorescent probes, A, B, and C, based on the coumarin platform for monitoring of NAD(P)H levels in living cells are described. Probes A and B incorporate a coumarin-cyanine hybrid structure with vinyl and thiophene connection bridges to 3-quinolinium acceptors, respectively, while probe C introduces a dicyano moiety for replacement of the lactone carbonyl group of probe A which increases the reaction rate of the probe with NAD(P)H. Initially, all probes exhibit subdued fluorescence due to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) quenching. However, upon hydride transfer by NAD(P)H, fluorescence activation is triggered through enhanced ICT. Theoretical calculations confirm that the electronic absorption changes upon the addition of hydride to originate from the quinoline moiety instead of the coumarin section and end up in the middle section, illustrating how the addition of hydride affects the nature of this absorption. Control and dose-response experiments provide conclusive evidence of probe C's specificity and reliability in identifying intracellular NAD(P)H levels within HeLa cells. Furthermore, colocalization studies indicate probe C's selective targeting of mitochondria. Investigation into metabolic substrates reveals the influence of glucose, maltose, pyruvate, lactate, acesulfame potassium, and aspartame on NAD(P)H levels, shedding light on cellular responses to nutrient availability and artificial sweeteners. Additionally, we explore the consequence of oxaliplatin on cellular NAD(P)H levels, revealing complex interplays between DNA damage repair, metabolic reprogramming, and enzyme activities. In vivo studies utilizing starved fruit fly larvae underscore probe C's efficacy in monitoring NAD(P)H dynamics in response to external compounds. These findings highlight probe C's utility as a versatile tool for investigating NAD(P)H signaling pathways in biomedical research contexts, offering insights into cellular metabolism, stress responses, and disease mechanisms.

Abstract
Fluorescein itself is a synthetic organic compound and a prominent member of the xanthene dye family. It exhibits strong fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) or blue light excitation, making it widely used in various applications, including fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, immunoassays, and molecular biology techniques. One of the reasons fluorescein derivatives are highly valuable is their tunable fluorescence properties. Through chemical modifications of the fluorescein structure, different functional groups or substituents can be introduce, altering the compound's fluorescence characteristics such as emission wavelength, intensity, and photo stability. This flexibility allows for tailoring of fluorescent probes to specific experimental requirements, enhancing their utility in a range of scientific disciplines. Fluorescein derivatives also possess excellent antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. This review sheds light on the significant impact of fluorescein derivatives as biological active compounds, highlighting their potential in designing new therapeutic agents with antimicrobial properties. Additionally, their role as antioxidants is discussed. A major aspect covered in the review is the application of fluorescein derivatives as powerful cell imaging probes. Their unique fluorescent properties make them valuable tools for visualizing cellular structures and processes, opening up new possibilities for studying cellular dynamics and interactions.

Abstract
Cysteine is an important amino acid that is related to human health and food safety. How to effectively detect Cys in food has received widespread attention. Compared with other methods, fluorescent probes have the advantages of simple operation, high sensitivity, and good selectivity. Therefore, a selective fluorescence probe 2 for Cys in food was designed and synthesized. Probe 2 employed the acrylate group as a thiol-recognition site for Cys, which endowed probe 2 with better selectivity for Cys over Hcy and GSH. The recognition pathway underwent Michael addition, intramolecular cyclization, and concomitant release of the piperideine-based fluorophore, along with a chromogenic change from yellow to orange. This pathway was supported by 1H NMR analysis and DFT calculations. In addition, probe 2 displays a linear response to Cys concentrations (0-30 μM), low detection limit (0.89 μM), and large Stokes shift (125 nm). Overall, probe 2 showed great application potential for the quantitative determination of Cys in water, milk, cucumber, pear and tomato.

Abstract
Bisulfite (HSO3-) and biological thiols molecules, such as glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), and homocysteine (Hcy), play important roles in organisms. Developing a fluorescent probe that can simultaneously detect and distinguish HSO3- and biological thiols is of great significance. In this study, ethyl(2E,4Z)-5-chloro-2-cyano-5-(7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2 H-chromen-3-yl)penta-2,4-dienoate (CCO) as a novel enhanced fluorescence probe was synthesized by integrating coumarin derivatives and ethyl cyanoacetate, which can simultaneous detection and discrimination of hydrogen bisulfite anions and glutathione. The sensing mechanism was elucidated through spectral analysis and some control experiments. In weakly alkaline environments, the probe not only has good selectivity for HSO3- and GSH, but also has a lower detection limits of 0.0179 µM and 0.2034 µM. The probe exhibited fuorescent turn-on for distinguishing with 296 and 28 fold the fluorescent intensity increase at 486 and 505 nm, respectively, through diferent excitation wavelengths. This provides a new method for simultaneous detection and discrimination of HSO3- and biological thiol cell levels and further applications.

Abstract
In this paper, we have design, synthesized and fully characterized a new meso-fluorescein substituted one-walled calix[4]pyrrole (C4P7), obtained from simple and easily available starting materials such as fluorescein, 4-hydroxyacetophenone and pyrrole. The anion sensing studies reveal that the C4P7 system displays selective and sensitive naked-eye sensing towards fluoride, phosphate, and acetate anions with the limit of detection of 4.27 mg L-1, 6.4 mg L-1, and 5.94 mg L-1, respectively. Moreover, the C4P7 receptor displays good results of binding (host-guest, 1 : 1) towards a variety of anions. The 1 : 1 binding stoichiometry was further confirmed by means of Job's plots. TD-DFT calculations showed that the HOMO-LUMO gap decreases in all the complexes (C4P7@anions) in comparison to the free C4P7 system. The authors are of the opinion that this work may provide a good platform to explore calix[4]pyrrole chemistry in the arena of recognition/sensing of biologically significant analytes in future studies.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has a crucial impact on diverse biological processes and has been shown to be related to various diseases. Many probes have been developed to detect intracellular H2S by fluorescent imaging. However, the development of rapid, highly selective and sensitive H2S probes remains a challenge. Herein, two fluorogenic probes, CNS and FCS, are designed and synthesized for the ultrafast detection of H2S with fluorescein and coumarin fluorophores. The results show that both probes can be applied to monitor and image endogenous H2S in cervical cancer HeLa cells and live zebrafish, and FCS shows a higher sensitivity, selectivity and fluorescence intensity. We then further applied FCS in a Parkinson's disease Drosophila model, and the results show that FCS can precisely indicate the level of H2S in the Parkinson's disease model. Thus, FCS will likely to be applied for the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
As a biomarker of oxidative stress, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a complex role in organisms, including regulating cell signaling, respiration, the immune system, and other life processes. Therefore, it is important to develop a tool that can simply and effectively monitor H2O2 levels in organisms and the environment. In this work, naphthalene fluorophores with a borate structure were introduced into chitosan (CTS) azide, and a CTS-based fluorescence sensor (CTS-HP) was designed for sensitive H2O2 detection. The biocompatibility and degradability of CTS endowed CTS-HP with reduced biotoxicity compared with organic fluorescent dyes, and the substitution degree of fluorophores on the CTS chains was 0.703. The randomly coiled chain structure of the CTS-HP probe enabled the boronic acid recognition sites on the fluorophores to achieve the enrichment of analyte H2O2 through a synergistic effect. Therefore, the probe CTS-HP (10 μg mL-1) exhibited a 21-fold fluorescence enhancement and good detection limit (LOD = 8.98 nM) in H2O2 solution, reaching the maximum fluorescence response faster (within 16 min). The probe also successfully achieved the fluorescence imaging of endogenous and exogenous H2O2 in zebrafish and living cells and labeled the recovery experiment of H2O2 in real water samples (recoveries rates of 90.93-102.9 % and RSD < 3.09 %).

Abstract
Two novel fluorescein as well as benzo-12-crown-4 ether functionalized dipyrromethane receptors (DPM3 and DPM4) have successfully been synthesized. The anion (used as their TBA salts) binding studies of thus prepared DPM3 and DPM4 receptors were evaluated by the UV-visible spectrophotometric titrations. Binding affinities as well as the stoichiometry were determined through the UV-visible titrations data with the involvement of the BindFit (v0.5) package available online at https://supramolecular.org. Moreover, binding events were validated by means of the comparison of the partial 1H-NMR spectrum of the simple host molecule with that of the host-guest complex, and the 1 : 1 stoichiometry were further confirmed by the Job's method of continuous variation. From the results, we observed the binding constant (Ka) values of DPM3/DPM4 with various tested anions in the range of 516.07 M-1 to 63789.81 M-1, depending upon the nature/shape/size of the anions. Moreover, the anion-π interactions were confirmed by the partial 1H-NMR spectral data, and further supported by the literature reported systems. The authors hope that such types of valued receptors will be benefitted in future for the recognizing/binding of a variety of biologically important anions.

Abstract
Given the significant interactions between hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and cysteine (Cys) in organisms, a dual-site multi-purpose fluorescent probe (Cy-NP) for H2S and Cys was synthesized. Cy-NP is composed of two fluorophores: naphthalimide that emits in the visible region of 500-600 nm, and cyanine dye that emits in the NIR region of 700-800 nm. Cy-NP showed admirable sensitivity and selectivity for identifying H2S and Cys by fluorescent signals with limits of detection as low as 0.15 μM and 1.4 μM, respectively. Furthermore, other biological thiols (especially GSH and Hcy) showed no positive response to Cy-NP compared with H2S and Cys. The chemical mechanism of Cy-NP with H2S and Cys in DMF/PBS (1/1, v/v, pH = 7.4) solution was verified by HRMS and DFT calculations. Further, Cy-NP was successfully applied to monitor H2S released in raw meat and adapted to detect H2S and Cys in MCF-7 cells independently and continuously.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is a crucial biological thiol that has a vital function in preserving redox homeostasis in organisms. Studies have shown that Cys is closely related to the development of cancer. Thus, it is necessary to design an efficient method to detect Cys for an effective cancer diagnosis. In this work, a novel tumor-targeting probe (Bio-Cy-S) for dual-modal (NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic) Cys detection is designed. The probe exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity toward Cys. After reaction with Cys, both NIR fluorescence and photoacoustic signals are activated. Bio-Cy-S has been applied for the dual-modal detection of Cys levels in living cells, and it can be used to distinguish normal cells from cancer cells by different Cys levels. In addition, the probe is capable of facilitating dual-modal imaging for monitoring changes in Cys levels in tumor-bearing mice. More importantly, the excellent tumor-targeting ability of the probe greatly improves the signal-to-noise ratio of imaging. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Cys probe to combine targeting and dual-modal imaging performance for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Inspired by the synthetic method of benzoxazine derivatives and our previous research, a fluorescent probe (SWJT-6) was designed for formaldehyde (FA) detection based on the cyclization reaction. The synthetic SWJT-6 showed excellent colorimetric and ratiometric response to formaldehyde, and could be perfectly used as test strips to detect formaldehyde. It also showed a fast detection time (3 min), low detection limit (5.65 μM) and high selectivity for formaldehyde within various interfering analytes. In addition, SWJT-6 has been successfully applied in bioimaging of intracellular and lysosomal formaldehyde in both HeLa cells and zebrafish.

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

Abstract
Biothiols are biomolecules found in a higher content in cancer cells compared to normal cells, marking them useful cancer biomarkers. Chemiluminescence is widely used in biological imaging due to its excellent sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this study, we designed and prepared a chemiluminescent probe that is activated by a thiol-chromene "click" nucleophilic reaction. This probe is initially chemiluminescent but turned off and releases extremely strong chemiluminescence in the presence of thiols. It has high selectivity to thiol compared with other analytes. Real-time imaging of mice tumor sites showed significant chemiluminescence after the probe was injected, and the chemiluminescence of osteosarcoma tissues was also significantly stronger than that in adjacent tissues. We conclude that this chemiluminescent probe has potential to detect thiol, diagnose cancer, especially in its early stages, and aid in the development of related cancer drugs.

Abstract
Cysteine is directly associated with a wide range of biological processes. Besides its essential role in protein synthesis, cysteine undergoes a variety of post-translational modifications which modulate several physiological processes. Dysregulated cysteine metabolism is associated with several neurodegenerative disorders. Accordingly, restoring cysteine balance has therapeutic benefits. It is therefore essential to detect the presence of endogenous free cysteine in order to understand different physiological modes of action inside the cell. Here, a carbazole-pyridoxal conjugate system (CPLC) has been developed to detect endogenous free cysteine in the liver and kidney of an adult zebrafish. In consequence, we have also determined the fluorescence intensity statistics of zebrafish kidney and liver images. CPLC interacts in a very fascinating way with two cysteine molecules through chemodosimetric and chemosensing approaches which are conclusively proved by different spectroscopic analyses (UV-vis, fluorescence, NMR) and theoretical calculations (DFT). The detection limit of CPLC towards cysteine is 0.20 μM. Moreover, this preliminary experiment has been done using HuH-7 cell line to check the permeability of CPLC, interaction with cysteine intracellularly, and assessment of the toxicity of CPLC, if any, before performing details in-vivo experiments in zebrafish model.

Abstract
In this work, a coumarin derivative, SWJT-14, was synthesized as a fluorescence probe to distinguish cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) in aqueous solutions. The detection limit of Cys, Hcy and GSH for the probe was 0.02 μM, 0.42 μM and 0.92 μM, respectively, which was lower than biothiols in cells. The probe reacted with biothiols to generate different products with different conjugated structures. Additionally, it could distinguish Cys, Hcy and GSH using fluorescence and UV-Vis spectra. The detection mechanism was confirmed by MS. SWJT-14 was successfully used in cellular experiments and detected both endogenous and exogenous biothiols.

Abstract
Dual-channel fluorescent probes could respond to a specific target and emit different wavelengths of fluorescence before and after the response. Such probes could alleviate the influence caused by the variation of the probe concentration, excitation intensity, and so on. However, for most dual-channel fluorescent probes, the probe and fluorophore faced spectral overlap, which reduced sensitivity and accuracy. Herein, we introduced a cysteine (Cys)-responsive and near-infrared (NIR) emissive AIEgen (named TSQC) with good biocompatibility to dual-channel monitor Cys in mitochondria and lipid droplets (LDs) during cell apoptosis through wash-free fluorescence bio-imaging. TSQC can label mitochondria with bright fluorescence around 750 nm, and after reacting with Cys, the reaction product TSQ could spontaneously target LDs with emissions around 650 nm. Such spatially separated dual-channel fluorescence responses could significantly improve detection sensitivity and accuracy. Furthermore, the Cys-triggered dual-channel fluorescence imaging in LDs and mitochondria during apoptosis induced by UV light exposure, H2O2, or LPS treatment is clearly observed for the first time. Besides, we also report here that TSQC can be used to image subcellular Cys in different cell lines by measuring the fluorescence intensities of different emission channels. In particular, TSQC shows superior utility for the in vivo imaging of apoptosis in acute and chronic epilepsy mice. In brief, the newly designed NIR AIEgen TSQC can respond to Cys and separate two fluorescence signals to mitochondria and LDs, respectively, to study Cys-related apoptosis.

Abstract
Room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials are characterized with emission after removing the excitation source. Such long-lived emission feature possesses great potential in biological fluorescence imaging because it enables a way regarding temporal dimension for separating the interference of autofluorescence and common noises typically encountered in conventional fluorescence imaging. Herein, we constructed a new type of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs)-based composite nanoparticles (NPs) with dual-color long-lived emission, namely millisecond-level green phosphorescence and sub-millisecond-level delayed red fluorescence by encapsulating a typical RTP dye and Rhodamine dye in the cavities of the MSNs with the former acting as energy donor (D) while the latter as acceptor (A). Benefiting from the close D-A proximity, energy match between the donor and the acceptor and the optimized D/A ratio in the composite NPs, efficient triplet-to-singlet Förster resonance energy transfer (TS-FRET) in the NPs occurred upon exciting the donor, which enabled dual-color long-lived emission. The preliminary results of dual-color correlation imaging of live cells based on such emission feature unequivocally verified the unique ability of such NPs for distinguishing the false positive generated by common emitters with single-color emission feature.

Abstract
A novel ratiometric probe (SWJT-10) based on isophorone derivatives has been designed and synthesized for the detection of formaldehyde (FA). This probe displayed an obvious ratiometric fluorescence response to FA with a blue shift from the NIR (680 nm) to the yellow light region (600 nm) in aqueous solution. And it showed good selectivity, high sensitivity and a fast response to FA (less than 5 s) due to a new recognition mechanism. Moreover, SWJT-10 has been applied to monitor FA in living cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Indium tin oxide, semiconductor nanomaterial ZnO, and Cu2O were first loaded on the surface of the optical fiber to form an optical fiber probe. Large-volume macroscopic spatial light is replaced by an optical fiber path, and remote light injection is implemented. Based on the optical fiber probe, a photoelectrochemical biosensor was constructed and remote detection of cysteine was realized. In this tiny device, the optical fiber probe not only acts as a working electrode to react with the analyte but also directs the light exactly where it is needed. Simultaneously, the electrochemical behavior of cysteine on the surface of the working electrode is dominated by diffusion-control, which provides strong support for quantitative detection. Then, under the bias potential of 0 V, the linear range of the fiber-optic-based cysteine biosensor was 0.01∼1 μM, the regression coefficient (R2) value was 0.9943. In spiked synthetic urine, the detection of cysteine was also realized by the integrated biosensor. Moreover, benefiting from the low optical fiber loss, the new structure also possesses a unique remote detection function. This work confirms that photoelectrochemical biosensors can be integrated via optical fibers and retain comparable sensing performance. Based on this property, different materials can also be loaded on the surface of the optical fiber for remote detection of other analytes. It is expected to facilitate the research on fiber-optic-based integrated biosensors and show application prospects in diverse fields such as biochemical analysis and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Hydrazine (N2 H4 ) is a highly toxic and harmful chemical reagent. Fluorescent probes are simple and efficient tools for sensitive monitoring of N2 H4 enrichment in the environment, humans, animals, and plants. In this work, a ratiometric fluorescent probe (FP-1) containing coumarin was used for hydrazine detection. The proposed FP-1 probe had a linear detection range of 0-250 μM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.059 μM (1.89 ppb). A large red Stokes shift was observed in fluorescence and UV-vis absorption spectra due to the hydrolysis of ester bonds between FP-1 and hydrazine. The hydrazine detection mechanism of FP-1 was also investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Finally, FP-1 could sensitively and selectively monitor hydrazine in actual water samples and BEAS-2B cells. Therefore, it has great application potential in environmental monitoring and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Intracellular viscosity is a physicochemical property that regulates the consequences of several biological progressions. Cysteine (Cys) is an important signaling molecule that commands many cellular activities, such as antioxidant generation. Predicting that both may be interconnected with a diversity of pathological processes, their contemporaneous measurement would be valuable for studying the pathological ailment of cells. Herein, we have synthesized a 'double locked' probe, acrylic acid 6-[4-(2-benzothiazol-2-yl-2-cyano-vinyl)-phenyl]-naphthalen-2-yl ester (ABN) for the detection of Cys in a viscous medium and explored its application to living cells that were exposed to dexamethasone to regulate the intracellular viscosity level. ABN displayed a satisfactory ratiometric (blue to orange) fluorescence response in solution and in living cells when Cys and viscosity coexisted. A turn-on fluorescence signal was visualized when the probe was individually treated with Cys and glycerol (a standard viscosity source). Therefore, we propose that ABN is a fluorescent probe that permits the monitoring of variations in intracellular viscosity and Cys levels in a biological environment, and it can be utilized in innumerable cellular damage models.

Abstract
A "turn-on" inverse opal photonic crystal fluorescent sensing film infiltrated with a coumarin derivative is reported for the reliable and accurate detection of cysteine in human serum and fluorescence imaging of living cells. The coumarin derivative containing allyl ester specifically reacts with cysteine by ammonolysis to generate a fluorescent product whose emission wavelength is at ~ 535 nm, providing a selective fluorescence detection for cysteine. The emitted fluorescence is significantly enhanced due to the slow photon effect derived from the photonic crystal film. This is because the emission wavelength is overlapped with the blue-band edge of the photonic stopband of the selected inverse opal film. The fluorescence enhancement effect endows the prepared inverse opal film with highly sensitive detection with a limit of detection of 3.23 × 10-9 mol/L and a wide linear detection range of 1 × 10-7 - 1 × 10-3 mol/L. A fast response within 30 s toward cysteine is also achieved due to the three-dimensional interconnected macroporous structure with a high-specific surface area of the inverse opal film. The prepared inverse opal fluorescent sensing film has been successfully applied to the detection of cysteine in human serum and bioimaging of living cells. In the diluted human serum, the recoveries for the detection of cysteine were 97.92 - 107.20%, and the relative standard deviations were 2.61-9.04%, demonstrating the potential applicability of the inverse opal fluorescent sensing film to real sample analysis. The method may provide a universal strategy for constructing various photonic crystal fluorescent sensing films by using different fluorescent probes.

Abstract
In this work, a novel Eu3+-DTPA-bis(AMC) complex with red luminescence was designed and synthesized for sequential detection of Cu2+ and biothiols (Cys/Hcy/GSH) based on the displacement strategy with the good selectivity, high sensitivity, and large Stokes shift (288 nm). The possible detection mechanism was verified by UV-vis, the high-resolution mass spectrometry, and the fluorescence decay curve. The experimental parameters, including the solution pH, the incubation time, the concentration ratio of Eu3+-DTPA-bis(AMC) to Cu2+ and biothiols concentration, were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, it shows a good linear relationship between the concentration (0-10 μM) of Cu2+ and the fluorescence intensity of Eu3+-DTPA-bis(AMC), with a low detection limit of 0.065 μM. The linear range and the limit of detection of the Eu3+-DTPA-bis(AMC)/Cu2+ system for Cys/Hcy/GSH were 2.5-22.5/5-45/5-50 μM and 0.11/0.07/0.05 μM, respectively. Surprisingly, the high or low concentration of Eu3+-DTPA-bis(AMC)/Cu2+ can significantly affect the selectivity of the sensing system to biothiols (Cys/GSH/Hcy). When the concentration of the Eu3+-DTPA-bis(AMC)/Cu2+ system is 10.0 μΜ, it could recognize biothiols (Cys/GSH/Hcy) from other substances, but when the concentration is as low as 3.3 μM, it could further specifically distinguished Cys from Hcy/GSH. Owing to the high anti-interference characteristics, accuracy and specificity, the sensing system was well applied to the cascade detection of Cu2+ in actual environmental samples and Cys in biological and food samples, including FBS, urine, milk, beverage, fresh juice with the satisfactory recoveries from 96.20 to 106.80 %.

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
Herein, we have synthesized a series of three-photon fluorescent Pt(II) complexes targeting a tumor-associated biothiol, cysteine (Cys), which allows it to be detected without any interference from other intracellular proteins. We focused on how to significantly improve the fluorescence response of Cys via regulating the recognition units in probes. The reaction of K2PtCl4 with L-CH3 or L-COOEt in DMSO solution gave Lyso-Pt-CH3 and Lyso-Pt-COOEt, respectively, which present four-coordinated square-planar geometries in mononuclear structures. Lyso-Pt-CH3 consists of a Cys aptamer labeled with typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics, which shows strong three-photon absorption cross section (3PA) only in the presence of Cys. It was found that Lyso-Pt-CH3 displayed a perfect signal-to-noise ratio for imaging lysosomes and for rapid detection of Cys. Using Lyso-Pt-CH3, Cys-related cellular mechanisms were proposed. We confirm that cystine (Cyss) could be absorbed in cells through cystine/glutamate antiporters (system xc-) and is then converted to Cys under the effect of enzymes. All of these suggest that Lyso-Pt-CH3 might be a potential candidate as a simple and straightforward biomarker of lysosome-related Cys in vitro. Lyso-Pt-CH3 can effectively identify tumor tissues with excessive levels of Cys. Lyso-Pt-CH3 also showed excellent antitumor activity than cisplatin. This work provides a novel strategy for the rational design of controllably activated and Cys-targeted Pt(II) anticancer prodrugs for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
In this work, we introduced the acrylate recognition group into dicyanoisophorone derivative DCI-C-OH to construct the NIR fluorescent probe DCI-C-Cys with a large Stokes shift (240 nm). DCI-C-Cys could specifically respond to Cys, resulting in a 22-fold increase in fluorescence intensity at 702 nm. Meanwhile, the probe has the advantages of good water solubility, high sensitivity (93 nM), and excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, DCI-C-Cys successfully monitored endogenous and exogenous Cys in HepG2 cells and zebrafish. Most importantly, we found that balsam pear polysaccharide could lead to the increase of intracellular Cys levels, which might be conducive to the further study of the antioxidant mechanism of balsam pear polysaccharide.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores, especially dicyano-based fluorophores and xanthene-based hemicyanines, have beenput high expectation in bioimaging application due to their excellent optical properties. However, they suffer from inherentshortagessuch as short excitation/emission wavelength (less than 700 nm) or small Stokes shift (20-50 nm). Herein, we constructed a novel NIR dicyano-based fluorophore (DCO-HBTN). Toourknowledge, it is the first reported dicyano-based fluorophore of which the excitation/emission wavelength is more than 650 nm and Stokes shift is more than 100 nm. To demonstrate the feasibility of our efforts, we developed two NIR fluorescent probes (Probe-Cys and Probe-H2S) based on the fluorophore, Probe-Cys displayed good selective and highly sensitive (LOD = 0.28 μM) recognition of Cys over Hcy and GSH, which was used to visualize endogenous Cys in tumor tissue. Probe-H2S exhibited an. excellent specific and sensitive (LOD = 0.11 μM) response to H2S, which was applied in monitoring H2S releasing from the prodrug in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Biothiols play an important role in many physiological and pathological processes, especially in the occurrence of oxidative stress caused by abnormal cysteine (Cys) concentration. Therefore, it is particularly critical to develop a method that can specifically identify Cys to avoid interference from other biological analytes. However, most Cys-specific fluorescent probes are difficult to distinguish between homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). In this work, to avoid the interference of Hcy and GSH, we developed a fluorescent probe triarylimidazole-naphthalimide-piperazine-sulfonyl benzoxadiazole (TNP-SBD-Cl) based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) on platform of naphthalimide-sulfonyl benzoxadiazole (SBD), the main SBD 4-chlorine groups have mild reactivity to undergo substitution and rearrangement to distinguish Hcy and GSH. The TNP-SBD-Cl response to Cys would turn on FRET and generate a new yellow fluorescence with a large Stokes shift (157 nm), and with excellent selectivity and low detection limit (0.87 μM). Moreover, TNP-SBD-Cl can be used to monitor Cys in living HeLa cells with low cytotoxicity, suggesting that it has markedly diagnostic significance in physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
A new colorimetric and fluorescent turn-on probe named 2,4-bis(camphor-3-methylene)phenylacrylate (BCP-Cys) was designed for highly sensitive and specific monitoring of cysteine (Cys). The probe BCP-Cys was strategically constructed by employing a new bis-camphor-derived scaffold (BCP-OH) as the fluorophore and an acrylate group as the recognition site and fluorescence quencher. The acrylate group of BCP-Cys could be exclusively cleaved by Cys and release the fluorophore BCP-OH, thereby causing a significantly enhanced red fluorescence and a naked-eye colorimetric change from colorless to yellow. The probe BCP-Cys exhibited promising sensing performances for Cys including large Stokes shift (184 nm), fast response time (<1 min), wide linear range (0-100 nM), and low detection limit (0.0728 μM). Moreover, the probe BCP-Cys could be utilized as a powerful tool for real-time determination of Cys levels within different food samples, such as onion, cabbage, broccoli, garlic, cauliflower, and bamboo sprout. In addition, this probe was also capable of imaging endogenous and exogenous Cys in living cells.

Abstract
In recent years, it has been found that Cu2+, Fe3+, and amino acids play an irreplaceable and subtle role in organisms and have attracted the considerable attention of many researchers. Therefore, it is vital to design visual indicators to reveal the relationships between metal ions and amino acids. However, there have been few reports on this vigorous subject. Fortunately, based on the different coordination effects between metal ions and boron groups, we have designed an accessible fluorescent probe (PSI-A). Borane was introduced as an ion-sensitive group to form a novel POSS-based fluorescent probe, which achieves fascinating performance, in situ dynamic multiple detection, excellent photostability, and enervative biological toxicity. PSI-A exhibited predominant selectivity and sensitivity to Cu2+/amino acids and Fe3+/amino acids sequence reactions in HepG2 cells and zebrafish. The fluorescence of PSI-A was quenched by Cu2+, which can be recovered by adding Asp, Ser, Arg, Ace or Trp. Additionally, the fluorescence of PSI-A quenched by Fe3+ can be restored after adding Asp. PSI-A is available to monitor Cu2+/amino acids and Fe3+/amino acids sequence reactions and can be repeated for at least three consecutive cycles without a fatigued performance. Therefore, this multifunctional fluorescent probe may have prospective application potentials in the biological field.

Abstract
Intracellular cysteine and glutathione was deemed as the most important reductants in the cell and played significant roles in the cellular homeostasis and redox adjustment. Here we developed a NIR fluorescent probe (HI) to detect and report the intracellular cysteine and glutathione, and monitor the development of the drug resistance of tumor. HI with both excited wavelength and emitting wavelength located within near infrared area showed no fluorescence in the normal physiological environment. However, when HI responded to cysteine and glutathione, strong NIR fluorescence could be turned on, which was linear dependent to the cysteine concentrations and the limited of detection was 0.18 μM. The response between HI and cysteine/glutathione demonstrated high specificity and no other amino acids showed influence or competition. The HPLC identification of the recognition results confirmed the response of acryloyloxy on the HI and active sulfhydryl on the cysteine/glutathione. DFT calculation of the HOMO and LUMO energy before and after response revealed the intramolecular charge transfer mechanism that induced the generation of the fluorescence. When HI was incubated with PATU-8988 and PATU-8988/Fu cell, the intracellular cysteine and glutathione could be clearly imaged and monitored by the enhanced fluorescence. Meanwhile, when HI was applied to the tumor-bearing mice, the drug resistance of tumor could be monitored and reported.

Abstract
Owing to its important biological functions in many physiological and pathological processes, it is necessary to develop efficient and appropriate detection methods for monitoring the levels of Cys in biological systems. Based on this, a novel rhodol-isophorone derivative (RHI) was designed and synthesized as a reaction-based fluorescence probe for specific detection of Cys with high sensitivity and large Stokes shift (155 nm). This probe was composed of an acrylate moiety (recognition group) and a rhodol-isophorone derivative (fluorophore). Probe RHI could react with Cys rapidly (15 min) with a 100-fold fluorescence enhancement. The limit of detection value was calculated to be 0.168 μM. When Cys was added, the color of the probe RHI solution turned from yellow to blue, indicating that Cys could be monitored by the naked eye. In addition, probe RHI was successfully utilized for detecting Cys in environmental water and milk samples. More importantly, the probe could be applied to imaging Cys in living cells with low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility.

Abstract
The measurement of cysteine in human urine and live cells is crucial for evaluating biological metabolism, monitoring and maintaining the immune system, preventing tissue/DNA damage caused by free radicals, preventing autoimmune diseases, and diagnosing disorders such as cystinuria and cancer. A method that uses a fluorescence turn-on probe and a portable fluorescence spectrometer device are crucial for highly sensitive, simple, rapid, and inexpensive cysteine detection. Herein, we present the synthesis and application of a benzimidazole-based fluorescent probe (ABIA) along with the design and development of a portable fluorescence spectrometer device (CysDDev) for detecting cysteine in simulated human urine. ABIA showed excellent selectivity and sensitivity in detecting cysteine over homocysteine, glutathione, and other amino acids with the response time of 1 min and demonstrated a detection limit of 16.3 nM using the developed CysDDev. Further, ABIA also demonstrated its utility in detecting intracellular cysteine, making it an excellent probe for bio-imaging assay.

Abstract
Fluorescent surgical navigation can effectively aid tumor resection. As one of the most popular near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores, cyanine dye has the outstanding optical ability and the potential to act as a fluorescence probe for tumors. Herein, we report a polyethylene glycol-modified amphiphilic cyanine dye (Cy7-NPC) with an NIR luminescence performance, which can self-assemble to form uniform nanomicelles (Cy7-NPC-S) and which can be applied for the optical imaging of abdominal tumors and for fluorescence imaging-guided precision tumor resection. When applied to biological imaging, Cy7-NPC-S showed high biological safety, strong tissue penetration depth for optical imaging, and high optical imaging resolution. Intraperitoneal administration of Cy7-NPC-S produced remarkable imaging efficacy in abdominal tumors. Compared with intravenous injection, abdominal tumors took up intraperitoneal Cy7-NPC-S faster and in greater quantities, thus enabling Cy7-NPC-S to facilitate accurate recognition and extirpation of abdominal tumors in fluorescence-guided surgery. We believe that metabolizable Cy7-NPC-S with NIR luminescence has promising applications and value in the fields of in vivo imaging and fluorescent surgical navigation.

Abstract
Fluorescein molecules are extensively used to develop fluorescent probes for various analytes due to their excellent photophysical properties and the spirocyclic structure. The main structural modification of fluorescein occurs at the carboxyl group where different groups can be easily introduced to produce the spirolactam structure which is non-fluorescent. The spirolactam ring opening accounts for the fluorescence and the dual sensing of analytes using fluorescent sensors is still a topic of high interest. There is an increase in the number of dual sensors developed in the past five years and quite a good number of fluorescein derivatives were also reported based on reversible mechanisms. This review analyses environmentally and biologically important cations such as Cu2+, Hg2+, Fe3+, Pd2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Mg2+; anions (F-, OCl-) and small molecules (thiols, CO and H2S). Structural modifications, binding mechanisms, different strategies and a comparative study for selected cations, anions and molecules are outlined in the article.
