Abstract
As one of the important members of reactive oxygen species, ONOO- plays a crucial role in signal transduction, immune response, and other physiological activities. Aberrant changes in ONOO- levels in the living organism are usually associated with many diseases. Therefore, it is important to establish a highly selective and sensitive method for the determination of ONOO- in vivo. Herein, we designed a novel ratio near-infrared fluorescent probe for ONOO- by directly conjugating dicyanoisophorone (DCI) to hydroxyphenyl-quinazolinone (HPQ). Surprisingly, HPQD was unaffected by environmental viscosity and responded rapidly to ONOO- within 40 s. The linear range of ONOO- detection was from 0 μM to 35 μM. Impressively, HPQD did not react with reactive oxygen species and was sensitive to exogenous/endogenous ONOO- in live cells. We also investigated the relationship between ONOO- and ferroptosis and achieved in vivo diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of mice model of LPS-induced inflammation, which showed promising prospects of HPQD in ONOO--related studies.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), as a strong oxidizing reactive nitrogen substance (RNS), is generated endogenously by cells. Its visualization research is crucial to understand relevant disease processes. Herein, we reported a long-wavelength mitochondria-targeted fluorescence "turn on" probe TL. The probe TL could react with ONOO- by using 4-(Bromomethyl)benzeneboronic as a reactive site, which exhibited outstanding characteristics for detection of ONOO-, thus improving response time (about 50 s), sensitivity (DL, 10.1 nM), and emission wavelength (667 nm). Besides, TL displayed well mitochondria targeting and biological visualizing of exogenous and endogenous ONOO- in biological systems. Finally, TL was used to monitor high concentration of dexamethasone-induced an up-regulation of ONOO-. This indicated that TL has excellent potential to study the fluctuation of ONOO- in the physiological and pathological system.

Abstract
Sepsis is a serious systemic inflammatory disease that frequently results in death. Early diagnosis and timely targeted interventions could improve the therapeutic effect. Recent work has revealed that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and hypoxia-induced endothelial injury play significant roles in sepsis. However, the relationship between the levels of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and hypoxia-induced endothelial injury as well as different states of sepsis remain unexplored. Herein, we developed a unique two-photon fluorescent probe (ER-ONOO-) for detecting ONOO- in aqueous solution that has high sensitivity, high selectivity, and ultrafast response time. In addition, ER-ONOO- was successfully used to evaluate the levels of ONOO- at the ER with three kinds of methods in a hypoxia-induced endothelial injury model. Furthermore, ER-ONOO- is capable of monitoring the changes in organ fluorescence through ONOO- variation in different stages of a cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model. Moreover, we also confirmed that the endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress participated in the CLP model. Consequently, this research can provide a reliable tool for studying ONOO- fluctuation in sepsis and provide new insights into the pathogenic and therapeutic mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) are two important highly reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, which commonly coexist in biosystems and play pivotal roles in many physiological and pathological processes. To investigate their function and correlations, it is urgently needed to construct chemical tools that can track the production of HOCl and ONOO- in biological systems with distinct fluorescence signals. Here, we found that the coumarin fluorescence of coumarin-benzopyrylium (CB) hydrazides (spirocyclic form) is dim, and their fluorescence properties are controlled by their benzopyran moiety via an intramolecular photo-induced electron transfer (PET) process. Based on this mechanism, we report the development of a fluorescent probe CB2-H for the simultaneous detection of HOCl and ONOO-. ONOO- can selectively oxidize the hydrazide group of CB2-H to afford the parent dye CB2 (Absmax/Emmax = 631/669 nm). In the case of HOCl, it undergoes an electrophilic attack on the benzopyran moiety of CB2-H to give a chlorinated product CB2-H-Cl, which inhibits the PET process within the probe and thus affords a turn-on fluorescence response at the coumarin channel (Absmax/Emmax = 407/468 nm). Due to the marked differences in absorption/emission wavelengths between the HOCl and ONOO- products, CB2-H enables the concurrent detection of HOCl and ONOO- at two independent channels without spectral cross-interference. CB2-H has been applied for dual-channel fluorescence imaging of endogenously produced HOCl and ONOO- in living cells and zebrafish under different stimulants. The present probe provides a useful tool for further exploring the distribution and correlation of HOCl and ONOO- in more biosystems.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is one of quite critical reactive oxygen species that acts critical roles in a number of diverse biological functions and pathological events. Notably, excessive ONOO- will lead to sorts of diseases. Thus, monitoring of endogenous ONOO- levels will be conducive to exploring the physiological activities and functions of ONOO-. Here, a simple turn-on fluorescent probe named DMX is reported using CN bond as the ONOO- recognition site and xanthene as the fluorophore. DMX possessed a good linear dependence with ONOO- concentration (0-9 μM), highly sensitive detection (DL = 37 nM), and excellent selectivity towards ONOO-. What is more, the biological experiments reveal that DMX is able to be utilized to track exogenous/endogenous ONOO- employing confocal laser scanning microscopy. Visualization of ONOO- in zebrafish was also successfully conducted, suggesting that DMX might be used to study ONOO- roles in vivo. We believe that DMX will have potential for exploring the pivotal role of ONOO- during all sorts of physiological and pathological activities.

Abstract
Xanthene-based fluorescence probes with high signal-to-noise ratios are highly useful for bioimaging. However, current strategies for improving the signal-to-noise ratios of xanthene fluorescence probes based on the replacement of oxygen group elements and extension of conjugation always require complicated modifications or time-consuming synthesis, which unfortunately goes against the original intention owing to the alteration of the parent structure and outstanding properties. Herein, a facile strategy is presented for developing a unique class of high signal-to-noise ratio probes by modifying the 2' position of a rhodol scaffold with different substituents. Systematic studies have shown that the probe named Rhod-CN-B with a strong electron-withdrawing methylene malononitrile functional group (-CH═(CN)2) at the 2' position displayed a high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent photostability in aqueous solutions and could detect peroxynitrite (ONOO-) without interference from other biologically active species. In addition, the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of Rhod-CN-B displayed satisfactory properties in tracking the endogenous production of ONOO- in the apoptosis process of liver cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharides. Moreover, we utilized Rhod-CN-B to perform imaging of ONOO- in the course of the liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) process, revealing that high ONOO- levels were associated with aggravation of hepatocyte damage. All of the experimental data and results demonstrated that Rhod-CN-B could be a powerful tool for imaging ONOO- in more physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
In this study, we constructed and displayed a ratiometric fluorescent probe JQ-2 for detecting ONOO-. The probe JQ-2 showed a ratiometric signal for visualizing ONOO- with a rapid response and high selectivity over a panel of biological analytes. Moreover, the JQ-2 has near-infrared emission (657 nm), which provides an excellent basis for the practical application in biological systems. The probe JQ-2 possessed low cytotoxicity and excellent cell membrane permeability, which can specifically visualize the exogenous and endogenous ONOO- in vitro and vivo by emission in two channels. Meanwhile, JQ-2 can be used for diagnosing drug-induced liver injury by visualizing and monitoring the fluctuations of endogenous ONOO-. Therefore, JQ-2 provided a potential tool for precisely detecting the fluctuation of ONOO- in biological systems to understand physiological and pathological process.

Abstract
Intracellular reactive oxygen species and reactive sulfur play a vital role in regulating redox homeostasis and maintaining cell functions. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) has emerged as an important gas signal molecule recently, which is not only a potential reducing agent but also a potential inductor of oxidative stress in organisms. Due to high reactivity, peroxynitrite (ONOO-) could act on many biomolecules, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, and cause irreversible damage, eventually leading to cell apoptosis or necrosis. In order to further illuminate the dichotomous role of SO2 under oxidative stress induced by ONOO-, we designed the first dual-site fluorescent sensor (NIR-GYf) for separate or continuous detection of SO2 and ONOO-. NIR-GYf was successfully used for cell imaging of endogenous SO2 and ONOO-. In addition, western blotting analysis was used to verify the oxidation and antioxidation of SO2 and its dichotomous biological influence. Finally, NIR-GYf was integrated with multiple Boolean logic operations to construct an advanced analysis device, thereby realizing the direct analysis of SO2 and ONOO- levels.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) was crucial for maintaining the homeostasis in cells and plays vital roles in many physiological and pathological processes. In this work, a highly selective fluorescent probe for hypochlorous acid in living cells was constructed and prepared based on a naphthalene derivative. A naphthalene derivative was utilized as the fluorescent group, and N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate was applied as the selective recognition site for HOCl. Before adding HOCl, the fluorescent probe exhibited weak fluorescence. Upon adding HOCl, the fluorescent probe displayed remarkable fluorescence enhancement. The fluorescence intensity at 502 nm showed a linear response to the concentration of HOCl from 3.0 × 10−7 to 1.0 × 10−5 mol·L−1. The detection limit was estimated to be 1.5 × 10−7 mol·L−1 for HOCl. The fluorescent probe showed fast response and outstanding selectivity toward HOCl. It owned good biocompatibility and had also been successfully applied in the confocal imaging of exogenous and endogenous HOCl in living cells.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) plays important roles in many pathophysiological processes and its subcellular detection draws increasing attention. In this study, we designed and prepared a novel lysosome-targetable fluorescent probe (E)-2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2- yl)-4-methyl-6-((morpholinoimino)methyl)phenol (BMP) for selective detection of ONOO- in living systems by incorporating a reactive morpholino hydrazone as new ONOO- response site into a benzothiazole derivative as fluorophore. After reaction with ONOO-, an obvious fluorescence increase (83-fold) was observed accompanied with distinct dual colorimetric and fluorescence changes. Probe BMP displayed the merits of fast response (<3 s), ultrasensitivity (LOD = 6 nM) and high selectivity towards ONOO- over other physiological species including ROS/RNS. Most importantly, the probe was capable of imaging ONOO- in lysosomes of living cells with good cell permeation and negligible cytotoxicity. Therefore, this research provides an effective tool to study the functions of ONOO- in lysosomes.

Abstract
Most of the ONOO- fluorescent probes have restricted applications because of their aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, long response time and low fluorescence enhancement. Herein, we developed a novel AIEgen fluorescent probe (PE-XY) based on a benzothiazole and quinolin scaffold with high sensitivity and selectivity for imaging of ONOO-. The results indicated that probe PE-XY exhibited fast response towards ONOO- with 2000-fold enhancement of fluorescence intensity ratio in vitro. Moreover, PE-XY exhibited a relatively high sensitivity (limit of detection: 8.58 nM), rapid response (<50 s), high fluorescence quantum yield (δ = 0.81) and excellent selectivity over other analytes towards ONOO-in vitro. Furthermore, PE-XY was successfully applied to detect endogenous ONOO- levels in living HeLa cells, C. elegans and inflammatory mice with low cytotoxicity. Overall, this work provided a novel fast-response and highly selective AIEgen fluorescent probe for real-time monitoring ONOO- fluctuations in living systems.

Abstract
A new naphthalene-based boronate probe, NAB-BE, for the fluorescence-based detection of inflammatory oxidants, including peroxynitrite, hypochlorous acid, and hydrogen peroxide, is reported. The chemical reactivity and fluorescence properties of the probe and the products are described. The major, phenolic oxidation product, NAB-OH, is formed in case of all three oxidants tested. This product shows green fluorescence, with a maximum at 512 nm, and can be excited either at 340 nm or in the near infrared region (745 nm) for two-photon fluorescence imaging. Peroxynitrite is the fastest of the oxidants tested and, in addition to the phenolic product, leads to the formation of a nitrated product, NAB-NO2, which can serve as a fingerprint for peroxynitrite. The probe was applied to detect peroxynitrite in activated macrophages using fluorimetry and two-photon fluorescence microscopy, and both NAB-OH and NAB-NO2 products were detected in cell extracts by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The combined use of fluorometric high-throughput analyses, fluorescence imaging, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based product identification and quantitation is proposed for most comprehensive and rigorous characterization of oxidants in biological systems.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is a series of basic biological oxidants involved in physiological and pathological processes. The detection of ONOO- in biological systems has been challenging due to its extremely short half-life and low steady-state concentration. In this work, a ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe for ONOO- was constructed by coupling covalently of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with cyanine 5.5 (Cy5.5). This nanoprobe (GQD-Cy5.5) could selectively accumulate in mitochondrial, appears two strong fluorescence emission peaks at 520 and 694 nm. In the presence of ONOO-, the intensity of fluorescence emission peak at 520 nm increased and the intensity of fluorescence emission peak at 694 nm decreased. The ratio (F520 nm/F694 nm) of fluorescence intensity at two emission peaks had a good linear relationship with the concentration of ONOO- in the range of 0-6.0 μM, and the detection limit was 0.03 μM. The excellent properties of the nanoprobe enable its applications in the ratiometric fluorescence imaging of endogenous ONOO- in cell mitochondria.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a powerful biological oxidant, is produced in the mitochondria and reacts with many biomolecular targets under various pathological conditions, leading to a range of disease states. In this work, we developed a nanoliposome-encapsulated ratiometrically fluorescent probe (NRF) based on a hemicyanine structure Cy-O obtained by facile synthesis. Upon reaction with ONOO-, the oxidation and hydrolysis of a π-conjugation system within the nanoliposome triggers a ratiometrically fluorescent response and a large-scale emission shift (238 nm), which provides a specific and sensitive means for the ONOO- detection. Moreover, we have performed DFT calculation at the 6-31+G(d,p) level using a suite of Gaussian 09 programs to obtain insights into the chemical structure optical properties of Cy-O. In addition, the practical applications of the nanoprobe to image exogenous and endogenous ONOO- were achieved further in live cells and animals triumphantly.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a prevalent liver disease and the leading cause for acute liver failure (ALF) worldwide. Screening of DILI in patients is central to ensure drug safety and improve therapy efficiency. Mounting evidences revealed that peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is involved in the DILI process and can be a potential biomarker for DILI. Thus far, there are few two-photon fluorescence probes for ONOO- that can accomplish this challenging task in DILI liver tissues. Hereby, a peroxynitrite activatable two-photon fluorescence probe BN-PN for the imaging of ONOO- in mice liver was elaborately constructed. The probe specifically reacted with peroxynitrite to furnish 140-fold fluorescence increase in vitro, which elucidated a high sensitivity for ONOO-. Thus, subtle changes of ONOO- levels in live cells can be sensitively imaged with this probe by two-photon microscopy. The probe also denoted the overproduction of ONOO- in APAP-induced liver injury, and proved that administration with NAC can effectively alleviate DILI and reduce ONOO- production in mouse liver. Further, the probe demonstrated the rapid rise of ONOO- level in the liver of DILI mice administrated with alcohol. This work disclosed the rational construction of a two-photon fluorescence probe-based DILI screening method, which would help the estimation of drug safety and new drug development.

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
Epilepsy is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that has seriously threatened human health. Accumulating evidence reveals that the pathological progression of epilepsy is closely related to peroxynitrite (ONOO-). Unfortunately, understanding the physiological roles of ONOO- in epilepsy is still challenging due to the lack of powerful imaging probes for the determination of the level of fluctuations of ONOO- in the epileptic brain. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) two-photon (TP) fluorescent probe [dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran (DCM)-ONOO] is presented to trace ONOO- in living cells and in kainate (KA)-induced rat epilepsy models with satisfactory sensitivity and selectivity. The probe is composed of a NIR TP DCM fluorophore and a recognition moiety diphenylphosphinamide. The phosphoramide bond of the probe is interrupted after reacting with ONOO- for 10 min, and then, the released amino groups emit strong fluorescence due to the restoration of the intramolecular charge transfer process. The probe can effectively detect the changes of endogenous ONOO- with excellent temporal and spatial resolution in living cells and in rat epileptic brain. The imaging results demonstrate that the increasing level of ONOO- is closely associated with epilepsy and severe neuronal damage in the brain under KA stimulation. In addition, the low-dose resveratrol can effectively inhibit ONOO- overexpression and further relieve neuronal damage. With the assistance of TP fluorescence imaging in the epileptic brain tissue, we hypothesize that the abnormal levels of ONOO- may serve as a potential indicator for the diagnosis of epilepsy. The TP fluorescence imaging based on DCM-ONOO provides a great potential approach for understanding the epilepsy pathology and diagnosis.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world, which is associated with malfunction of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) in cerebral microvessels. In vivo monitoring these species, such as ONOO-, with high selectivity in stroke process is of great significance for early diagnoses and therapies of the disease. Herein, by engineering an indoline-2,3-dione moiety as the recognizing domain, we proposed a novel fluorescence probe Rd-PN2 with highly specific response toward ONOO-, even in the coexistence of other ROS/RNS with high concentration. Rd-PN2 showed high sensitivity and reaction speed in response to ONOO- and exhibited satisfying performances in tracking the endogenously generated ONOO- in living cells and zebrafish. Accordingly, Rd-PN2 can furnish real-time and in vivo visualizing of ONOO- in cerebral microvessels of mice with ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes under two-photon microscopy. This work presented a precisely modulated fluorescence probe for real-time visualizing of ONOO- production in cerebral micovessels, which will also help to acquire more accurate information in the studies of ONOO- functions in the future.

Abstract
Nucleolus imaging is important for the understanding of gene expression, proliferation, and growth of cells. Traditional nucleoli localization mainly relies on the use of RNA fluorescent probes which are required in large amounts. These probes also have low selectivity, thus causing the generated images to have high background noise and the localization of nucleoli to become vague. In the present paper, a novel probe for nucleoli localization, BEB-A, which can specifically bind to RNA via the chain reaction of endogenous cysteine (Cys), was designed and developed. In addition to its mitochondria-targeting ability, the BEB-A probe could be used in the imaging of Cys in the cytoplasm, and its product, BEB-OH, could quickly penetrate into the cell nucleus to combine with nucleolar RNA to generate strong red fluorescence signals. The luminescence property and RNA-binding capability of the probe were also investigated via theoretical calculations and molecular docking simulations. This work presents a tool that can be applied to analyze the variation of Cys in mitochondria and RNA in cells.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has been a hot issue of public health, owing to its unpredictability and serious harm to public health. Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is an important biomarker for the assessment and diagnosis of DILI. In this article, based on a kind of rhodamine analogue with a near-infrared (NIR) emission (610 nm-800 nm) and a two-photon absorption cross section (54 GM), a two-photon excited NIR fluorescence probe (NIR-ONOO) for ONOO- was developed. With a high selectivity and a high sensitivity to ONOO-, NIR-ONOO has a linear range for detection of ONOO- from 5.0 × 10-8 to 1.0 × 10-5 M, a good detection limit (15 nM) and a large fluorescence enhancement (340-fold). In addition, NIR-ONOO has been used to monitor ONOO- in cells with satisfactory results. Because of its two-photon excied NIR emission, NIR-ONOO also showed excellent performances for imaging ONOO- including low autofluorescence, stable and persistent fluorescence, and a deep penetration (204 μm). Finally, NIR-ONOO was successfully employed to image ONOO- in inflammatory mouse, drug-induced hepatotoxicity in cells and its remediation. All the results indicated that NIR-ONOO is a powerful chemical tool to image ONOO- and assay drug-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
A key current challenge in biological research is the elucidation of the that roles chemicals and chemical reactions play in cellular function and dysfunction. Of the available cellular imaging techniques, fluorescence imaging offers a balance between sensitivity and resolution, enabling the cost-effective and rapid visualisation of model biological systems. Importantly, the use of responsive fluorescent probes in conjunction with ever-advancing microscopy and flow cytometry techniques enables the visualisation, with high spatiotemporal resolution, of both specific chemical species and chemical reactions in living cells. Ideal responsive fluorescent probes are those that contain a fluorophore tethered to both a sensing unit, to ensure selectivity of response, and a targeting group, to control the sub-cellular localisation of the probe. To date, probes that are both targeted and selective are relatively rare and most localised probes are discovered serendipitously rather than by design. A challenge in this field is therefore the identification of suitable fluorophore scaffolds that can be readily attached to both sensing and targeting groups. Here we review current strategies for dual-functionalisation of fluorophores, highlighting key examples of targeted, responsive probes.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a highly reactive species, is profoundly involved in many physiological and pathological processes. Change of the ONOO- level usually indicates an abnormal body function. Thus, it is desired to develop a highly reliable ONOO- assay to elucidate its roles in a related disease environment. In this work, we have constructed a ratiometric molecule fluorescent probe RTFP toward ONOO- with high specificity by the combination strategy of probe screening and a rational design method. RTFP displayed excellent detection sensitivity (detection limit: 4.1 nM) and produced a highly ratiometric emission signal (130-fold). Leveraging this probe, we showed the change of ONOO- content in the free-fatty-acid-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and acetaminophen-induced drug-induced liver injury (DILI) cellular model and for the first time disclosed the involved mechanism of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) enzyme in NAFLD with a DILI pathological environment. Furthermore, RTFP also was utilized to visualize ONOO- fluctuation of living liver tissues in a high-fat-diet-caused NAFLD model. We expected that this probe may help the study of liver injury in the exploration of mechanism and signal path.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is a highly reactive nitrogen species with potent oxidant and nitrating properties. Its excessive generation can cause DNA and protein damage, thereby contributing to cell injury, and it is closely related to the development of many diseases. Thus, there is an urgent need for a reliable method to determine changes in the steady-state levels of ONOO- in vivo. Ratiometric imaging, due to its built-in self-calibration system, can reduce artifacts and enable reliable in vivo imaging. In this study, we designed and prepared near-infrared (NIR) biomass quantum dots (NI-BQDs) and covalently coupled them with the NIR dye Cyanine7 (Cy7) to construct an NIR dual-emission nanoprobe (NI-BQD-Cy7) for real-time tracing the generation of endogenous ONOO- in single living cells and in vivo by ratiometric fluorescence imaging. NI-BQD-Cy7 exhibited high detection sensitivity and selectivity for ONOO- in the mitochondria. Additionally, it can produce dual NIR fluorescence emission, thus allowing in situ ratiometric fluorescence imaging to real-time trace the generation and concentration changes of ONOO- in vivo. The application of the proposed NIR dual-emission nanoprobe can provide accurate information for the study of the biological function of ONOO- in single living cells and in vivo, and it is very useful to explain the mechanism of cell damage caused by ONOO-.

Abstract
Two-photon microscopy (TPM) techniques have been highlighted over the past two decades throughout various fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. In particular, the two-photon near-infrared excitation of fluorophores or molecular probes emitting fluorescence have ushered in a new biomedical era, specifically in the deep-tissue imaging of biologically relevant species. Non-linear two-photon optics enables the development of 3D fluorescence images via focal point excitation of biological samples with low photo-damage and photo-bleaching. Many studies have disclosed the relationship between the chemical structure of fluorophores and their two-photon absorbing properties. In this review, we have summarized the recent advances in two-photon absorbing probes based on a functionalized electron donor (D)-acceptor (A) type dipolar naphthalene platform (FDNP) that was previously reported between 2015 and 2019. Our systematic outline of the synthesis, photophysical properties, and examples of two-photon imaging applications will provide useful context for the future development of new naphthalene backbone-based two-photon probes.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn, n > 1) are members of reactive sulfur species (RSS) and signaling molecules derived from hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Recently, the functions of H2Sn in physiological and pathological processes have been increasingly recognized. However, their biological effects and detailed mechanisms of action are still little known. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop highly selective and sensitive techniques for monitoring hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn) in living cells. In this study, we designed and synthesized a fluorescent probe based on a naphthalene derivative for the detection of hydrogen polysulfides. A naphthalene derivative was applied as the fluorescent main structure and the 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoate group was chosen as the recognition unit. In the absence of hydrogen polysulfides, the fluorescent probe displayed almost no fluorescence. In the presence of hydrogen polysulfides, the fluorescent probe exhibited strong fluorescence. The sensing mechanism was based on H2Sn-mediated aromatic substitution-cyclization reactions. The linear range of the response concentration of the probe to hydrogen polysulfide was acquired in a concentration range of H2Sn from 7.5 × 10-7 to 2.5 × 10-5 mol L-1. The detection limit was evaluated to be 5.0 × 10-7 mol L-1 for H2Sn. The fluorescent probe can applied in a wide pH range including physiological condition pH. The fluorescent probe showed high specificity for H2Sn over other reactive sulfur species (RSS). Moreover, the fluorescent probe has been successfully applied to confocal imaging of hydrogen polysulfides in HepG2 cells without cell cytotoxicity. All of such good qualities indicated that it could be used to detect H2Sn in living cells.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), one of the reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) found in vivo, plays crucial roles in many physiological and pathological processes. The ability to selectively and sensitively determine ONOO-in vivo is important for the understanding of its biological roles. Thus, by utilizing the excellent chemical stability and photostability, high luminescence efficiency, and long luminescence lifetime of iridium complexes, we developed a novel near-infrared (NIR) phosphorescent iridium(iii) complex (FNO2) probe to detect ONOO- within seconds. The probe FNO2 showed better selectivity towards ONOO- over other interfering biomolecules, including O2- and ClO-. Moreover, it possessed a long luminescence lifetime, which enabled successful elimination of the interference from background fluorescence in vitro (simulated by Rhodamine B) in time-resolved emission spectra. Finally, in addition to its low cytotoxicity, the probe FNO2 showed emission wavelength in the NIR region and was able to specifically sense ONOO- induced in living cells and inflamed mouse models.

Abstract
Acute hepatitis is a major problem affecting public health and has attracted more and more attention. Generally, as the standard means, blood tests are taken for evaluating hepatitis. However, such tests fail to accurately reflect the level of hepatitis in vivo. Herein, two highly selective ratiometric fluorescent probes are designed to track peroxynitrite (ONOO- ) as the hepatitis indicator, and further evaluate acute liver injury in vivo through dye-grafted upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). Specifically, upconversion luminescence of nanoprobes at 540 or 660 nm can be quenched by the designed and synthesized chromophore E-CC or H-CC, that can be destroyed by ONOO- via energy transfer (ET) process, while the upconversion luminescence intensity at 810 nm remains the same. Thus, the developed nanoprobes can be used for ratiometric detection (I540 /I660 or I660 /I810 ) of ONOO- . Moreover, the developed near infrared ratiometric nanoprobes can highly selectively detect ONOO- , which can eliminate the interference of HOCl and SO32- . Finally, it is demonstrated that this highly selective ratiometric nanosystem can achieve effective detection of ONOO- in living cells and CCl4 -induced acute liver injury models. It provides some reference value for clinical detection of hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) has been proven to participate in various physiological and pathological processes, and may also be a contributing factor in many diseases. In view of this, there is a need to develop detection tools for unambiguously tracking a small amount of endogenous ONOO- to reveal its exact mechanisms. In this paper, a colorimetric and red-emitting fluorescent probe Red-PN, based on a rhodamine-type fluorophore and hydrazide reactive site is described. The probe Red-PN possesses the advantages of rapid response (within 5 s), visual color change (from colorless to pink), preeminent sensitivity (detection limit = 4.3 nM) and selectivity. Because of these outstanding performances, it was possible to accurately detect endogenous ONOO-. It was encouraging that the probe Red-PN could be used effectively for tracking the relatively low levels of endogenous and exogenous ONOO- in living cells and zebrafish. Thus, it is envisioned that the probe Red-PN would have promising prospects in applications for imaging ONOO- in a variety of biological settings.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) encompass a collection of intricately linked chemical entities characterized by individually distinct physicochemical properties and biological reactivities. Although excessive ROS generation is well known to underpin disease development, it has become increasingly evident that ROS also play central roles in redox regulation and normal physiology. A major challenge in uncovering the relevant biological mechanisms and deconvoluting the apparently paradoxical roles of distinct ROS in human health and disease lies in the selective and sensitive detection of these transient species in the complex biological milieu. Small-molecule-based fluorescent sensors enable molecular imaging of ROS with great spatial and temporal resolution and have thus been appreciated as excellent tools for aiding discoveries in modern redox biology. We review a selection of state-of-the-art sensors with demonstrated utility in biological systems. By providing a systematic overview based on underlying chemical sensing mechanisms, we wish to highlight the strengths and weaknesses in prior sensor works and propose some guiding principles for the development of future probes.

Abstract
The morpholine (ML) group can be used as a targeting unit for lysosomes. Here, a novel turn-off fluorescence probe for the highly selective imaging of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) produced by the endogenous stimulation of lysosomes in living cells is presented. The probe, denoted ML-NAP-DPPEA, comprises ML and 2-(diphenylphosphino)ethylamine (DPPE) groups attached to the fluorophore naphthalimide (NAP). ML-NAP-DPPEA shows excellent properties, including high selectivity for ONOO-, low cytotoxicity, and no interference, leading to low detection limits (17.6 nM). In the presence of ONOO-, the secondary amine group (NH) is oxidized to an electron-withdrawing group (HN → O), which quenches the fluorescence of ML-NAP-DPPEA. This intracellular lysosomal imaging technique was tested, and the results pointed to its potential use as a probe for studying the biological function and pathological effects of ONOO- in subcellular structure.

Abstract
The development of fluorescent chemosensors for various analytes has been actively pursued by chemists. Since their inception, these efforts have led to many new sensors that have found wide applications in the fields of chemistry, biology, environmental science, and physiology. The search for fluorescent chemosensors was initiated by a few pioneering groups in the late 1970s and 1980s and blossomed during the last two decades to include more than hundreds of research groups around the world. The targets for these sensors vary from metal ions, anions, reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, biothiols, and toxic gases. Our group has made contributions to this area in last 18 years. In this perspective, we briefly introduce the history of chemosensors and review studies that we have carried out.

Abstract
Intracellular pH (pHi) plays a crucial role in cell physiological and pathological processes. We herein report an efficient pH-sensitive sensor based on two-photon excitable semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (PFV/PSMA-DA NPs) for pHi sensing. PFV/PSMA NPs were functionalized with redox-active dopamine (DA) and the obtained PFV/PSMA-DA NPs showed sensitive and reversible pH response over the pH range of 5.0-9.0. Owning to the high biocompatibility and pH-responsive DA, PFV/PSMA-DA NPs show low cytotoxicity and the quantification and imaging of intracellular pH changes of HeLa cells were successfully realized. Moreover, the detection of intracellular pH fluctuation induced by redox species such as NAC (N-acetylcysteine) and H2O2 was also achieved by both one- and two-photon excitation of the PFV/PSMA-DA NPs probe. This work clearly shows that nanoprobe based on two-photon PFV/PSMA-DA NPs could serve as a promising platform for quantitatively monitoring the intracellular pH fluctuations.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite is a highly reactive oxidant derived from superoxide and nitric oxide. In normal vertebrate physiology, some phagocytes deploy this oxidant as a cytotoxin against foreign pathogens. To provide a new approach for detection of endogenous cellular peroxynitrite, we synthesized fluorescent sensors targeted to membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The very high surface area of these membranes, approximately 30 times greater than the cellular plasma membrane, was envisioned as a vast intracellular platform for the display of sensors to transient reactive species. By linking an ER-targeted profluorophore to reactive phenols, sensors were designed to be cleaved by peroxynitrite and release a highly fluorescent ER-associated rhodol. Studies of kinetics in aqueous buffer revealed a linear free energy relationship where electron-donating substituents accelerate this reaction. However, in living cells, the efficiency of detection of endogenous cellular peroxynitrite was directly proportional to association with ER membranes. By incorporating a 2,6-dimethylphenol to accelerate the reaction and enhance this subcellular targeting, endogenous peroxynitrite in living RAW 264.7 macrophage cells could be readily detected after addition of antibody-opsonized tentagel microspheres, without additional stimulation, a process undetectable with other known fluorescent sensors. This approach provides uniquely sensitive tools for studies of transient reactive species in living mammalian cells.
