Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) as one most abundant thiol, acts as important roles in regulating cellular redox activities, and various diseases are closely related with its abnormal levels. Thus, monitoring intracellular GSH levels is essential for understanding cellular metabolism of many related diseases. In this work, we firstly reported a new fluorescence turn-on sensor, which was capable of selectively, sensitively and rapid sensing GSH over other thiols, especially cysteine and homocysteine in solutions and living cells. A meso-aryltellurium boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) was firstly designed and synthesized, which showed silenced emission due to an efficient photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process from electron-rich Te to BODIPY, and then upon exposure to GSH, the meso-Te-C bond could be rapidly cleaved by the thiol group of GSH, thus resulting in an obvious fluorescence "turn-on" phenomenon through inhibition of the PET effect. This probe exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards GSH with a short response time of 2 min, showing a remarkable fluorescence enhancement observed at 541 nm with a large fluorescence quantum yield increase from nearly 0 to 0.73 upon excitation at 500 nm in PBS/CH3CN (9/1, v/v). The detection limit towards GSH was further calculated to be 1.7 nM by the linear fluorescence change at 541 nm in the GSH-concentration ranging from 0 to 4 μM. Furthermore, its sensing mechanism was validated by using mass spectrometry, confirming the rapid cleavage of the Te-C bond by GSH. Finally, cell imaging experiments demonstrated that this probe could successfully detect GSH in living cells, highlighting its potential for rapid and sensitive detection of intracellular GSH level changes. Therefore, a new meso-aryltellurium-BODIPY fluorescence turn-on sensor was firstly developed, which could selectively, sensitively and fast detect cellular GSH over other thiols based on the rapid cleavage of the meso Te-C bond.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for detecting biological macromolecules in water or biological environments are generally challenging. In this work, a composite material IEP-MnO2 is obtained by combining manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanocrystals and a fluorescent COF (IEP), which is synthesized by using 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-s-triazine and 2,5-dimethoxyterephthalaldehyde. By the addition of biothiols, such as glutathione, cysteine or homocysteine with different sizes, the fluorescence emission spectra of IEP-MnO2 changed ("turn-on" or "turn-off") via different mechanisms. The fluorescence emission of IEP-MnO2 increased in the presence of GSH by the elimination of the FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) effect between MnO2 and IEP. Surprisingly, due to the formation of a hydrogen bond between Cys/Hcy and IEP, the fluorescence quenching for IEP-MnO2 + Cys/Hcy may be explained via the photoelectron transfer (PET) process, which endows IEP-MnO2 with specificity in distinguishing the detection of GSH and Cys/Hcy compared to other MnO2 complex materials. Therefore, IEP-MnO2 was used to detect GSH and Cys in human whole blood and serum, respectively. The limit of detection for GSH in whole blood and Cys in human serum was calculated to be 25.58 μM and 4.43 μM, which indicates that IEP-MnO2 can be used to investigate some diseases related to GSH and Cys concentration. Moreover, the research expands the application of covalent organic frameworks in the fluorescence sensing field.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a one of reactive sulfur species (RSS) that plays significant roles in many physiological processes. While abnormal levels of SO2 in mitochondria have been related to various diseases. Hence, developing suitable fluorescent probe for monitoring SO2 is significant in living organisms. In this research, we designed and synthesized a mitochondrial-target probe Mito-NPH featuring the graft of a strong electron-withdrawing 4-pyridiniumylacrylonitrile unit to an electron-donating naphthalenic unit that intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process happened. The probe Mito-NPH underwent a nucleophilic addition of HSO3-/SO32-to give fluorescent emission signal change from red to blue and exhibited specific response toward HSO3-/SO32-over other analytes. Moreover, Mito-NPH showed ultrafast response rate (within 10 s) for HSO3-. Importantly, cell imaging results demonstrated that the probe can sense endogenous SO2 in mitochondria.

Abstract
This work innovatively integrated the peroxidase-mimicking activity and red emission property of Fe@PCN-222 framework, designed a cascade reaction system for dual-mode glucose sensing. The Fe3+ doping significantly improved the catalytic activity of Fe@PCN-222 that can oxidize the substrate o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to generate diminophenazine (DAP) with emission at 566 nm in the presence of H2O2. Similarly, the Fe@PCN-222 was used to catalyze the colorless TMB to produce blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB) showed absorption at 652 nm. When coupled with glucose oxidase (GOx), the linear ranges of ratiometric fluorescence mode and colorimetric mode for glucose sensing were 1-100 and 10-300 μM, respectively. And the limits of detection (LOD) of 0.78 and 2.41 μM for two modes were obtained, respectively. In addition, the practicability of Fe@PCN-222 nanozyme-based cascade reaction system for detection of glucose in human serum and saliva samples was successfully investigated. It is of great importance to integrate more functions into one skeleton to achieve dual-mode and optimal-performance sensing for expanding potential applications.

Abstract
Ratiometric fluorescent probes could effectively offset the changes of the autofluorescence and compartmental localization. FRET, ICT, etc. are the common strategies to design probes for biosensing, but these strategies have some deficiencies. Here, we proposed a new design strategy based on π-conjugation modulation, giving two different emission bands in the absence and presence of the target. The new fluorescence probe named Rhod-DCM-B was rationally designed and synthesized, which displayed a fluorescence emission peak at 670 nm because the electron cloud focuses on the conjugated DCM unit. With the addition of ONOO-, the fluorescence emission at 570 nm increased, accompanied by the decrease of fluorescence emission at 670 nm, showing a ratiometric signal change attributed to the opened spirane structure making the electron cloud concentrated on the xanthene core. The mechanism is well confirmed by MS and DFT calculations. Rhod-DCM-B exhibited outstanding sensitivity and excellent selectivity toward ONOO-. Moreover, Rhod-DCM-B was effectively employed to determine endogenous and exogenous ONOO- in living cells. As a marker for inflammation and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) process, ONOO- in vivo was successfully monitored by Rhod-DCM-B and presented a dramatic ratiometric response.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) plays many important roles in maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis, and determining its real-time levels in the biological system is essential for the diagnosis, treatment, and pathological research of related diseases. Fluorescence imaging has been regarded as a powerful tool for tracking biomarkers in vivo, for which specificity, reversibility, and fast response are the main issues to ensure the real-time effective detection of analytes. The determination of GSH is often interfered with by other active sulfur species. However, in addition to the common features of nucleophilic addition, GSH is unique in its large molecular scale. 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) was often formed in the ESIPT process. In this study, HBT was installed with α,β-unsaturated ketone conjugated coumarin derivates or nitrobenzene, which were used to adjust the reactivity of α,β-unsaturated ketone. Experimental and theoretical calculations found ESIPT to be favorable in HBT-COU but not HBT-COU-NEt2 or HBT-BEN-NO2 due to the higher electronic energies in the keto form. Thus, for HBT-COU, in the presence of GSH, the hydrogen-bonding interaction between C═N of the HBT unit and carboxyl of GSH would inhibit the process, simultaneously promoting the Michel addition reaction between α,β-unsaturated ketone and GSH. As a consequence, probe HBT-COU could exhibit a rapid reversible ratiometric response to GSH. Small structures of Hcy and Cys are passivated for such reactions. Cell imaging demonstrated the specific response of the probe to GSH, and the probe was successfully used to monitor fluctuations in GSH concentration during cells apoptosis in real-time.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) plays a critical role in biological defense system and is associated with numerous human pathologies. However, it still remains a challenge for fluorescent detection of GSH over cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) because of their similar structures. In this work, MnO2 nanosheets can efficiently quench the fluorescence of gold nanoclusters (Met-AuNCs) prepared by blending methionine and HAuCl4 owing to their superior absorption capability. However, GSH can reduce MnO2 nanosheets into Mn2+ which leads to the fluorescence recovery of Met-AuNCs. More intriguingly, GSH can dramatically and selectively enhance the fluorescence intensity of Met-AuNCs. Hence, a low background, ultrasensitive fluorescent detection of GSH was obtained with a detection limit of 68 nM. Moreover, the assay has been successfully used for GSH detection in human serum samples and cellular imaging with high selectivity over Cys and Hcy.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of glutathione, a cellular antioxidant, can lead to a variety of diseases. We have constructed a near-infrared ratiometric fluorescent probe to detect glutathione concentrations in biological samples. The probe consists of a coumarin donor, which is connected through a disulfide-tethered linker to a rhodamine acceptor. Under the excitation of the coumarin donor at 405 nm, the probe shows weak visible fluorescence of the coumarin donor at 470 nm and strong near-infrared fluorescence of the rhodamine acceptor at 652 nm due to efficient Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the donor to the acceptor. Glutathione breaks the disulfide bond through reduction, which results in a dramatic increase in coumarin fluorescence and a corresponding decrease in rhodamine fluorescence. The probe possesses excellent cell permeability, biocompatibility, and good ratiometric fluorescence responses to glutathione and cysteine with a self-calibration capability. The probe was utilized to ratiometrically visualize glutathione concentration alterations in HeLa cells and Drosophila melanogaster larvae.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) along with its ionic form, hypochlorite anion (ClO-) are critical reactive oxygen species (ROS), which play vital roles in biological systems. Dysregulated production of HClO/ClO- can result in tissue damage and cause a variety of diseases. Besides, Sodium hypochlorite has been widely used as a bleaching agent for water disinfection, surface cleaning in daily life. Excessive exposure to sodium hypochlorite will lead to symptoms of severe breathing and skin problems. Therefore, developing a state-of-the-art (simple, highly sensitive, highly selective and super fast-response) sensor for tracking HClO is of biological, toxicological, and environmental importance. Though many HClO probes have been reported so far, this big aim still presents a challenge. Researchers around the world are continuing to develop new HClO probes that could improve their sensitivity, selectivity, the limit of detection, response time, easiness to use, etc. Herein, with coumarin as the fluorophore molecule, we rationally developed a novel chemosensor (CMTH) for detecting HClO with both ratiometric and colorimetric responses resulted from the oxidation reaction of CN bond. Further analysis results indicated that CMTH can realize highly sensitive with low limit of detection (256 nM, among the best of its kind) and highly selective (over a bunch of interfering analytes) imaging detection of HClO in multiple organisms with low cytotoxicity, and good cell and tissue permeability as well. In particular, compared to other fluorescent HClO probes reported so far, CMTH excels in the response time to HClO (< 40 s), being the top-notch of its kind. Besides, owing to its excellent water solubility, CMTH can also be applied to track HClO in the environmental system. Taken together, we have presented here a novel chemosensor, CMTH, as a colorimetric and ratiometric chemosensor for highly sensitive and ultrafast imaging detection of HClO in aqueous solutions, eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic bacteria and vertebrate zebrafish.

Abstract
In this review from literature appearing over about the past 5 years, we focus on selected selenide reports and related chemistry; we aimed for a digestible, relevant, review intended to be usefully interconnected within the realm of fluorescence and selenium chemistry. Tellurium is mentioned where relevant. Topics include selenium in physics and surfaces, nanoscience, sensing and fluorescence, quantum dots and nanoparticles, Au and oxide nanoparticles quantum dot based, coatings and catalyst poisons, thin film, and aspects of solar energy conversion. Chemosensing is covered, whether small molecule or nanoparticle based, relating to metal ion analytes, H2S, as well as analyte sulfane (biothiols-including glutathione). We cover recent reports of probing and fluorescence when they deal with redox biology aspects. Selenium in therapeutics, medicinal chemistry and skeleton cores is covered. Selenium serves as a constituent for some small molecule sensors and probes. Typically, the selenium is part of the reactive, or active site of the probe; in other cases, it is featured as the analyte, either as a reduced or oxidized form of selenium. Free radicals and ROS are also mentioned; aggregation strategies are treated in some places. Also, the relationship between reduced selenium and oxidized selenium is developed.

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

Abstract
The selective detection of glutathione (GSH) in vitro and in vivo has attracted great attentions, credited to its important role in life activities and association with a series of diseases. Among all kinds of analytical techniques, the fluorescent probe for GSH detection become prevalent recently because of its ease of operation, high temporal-spatial resolution, visualization and noninvasiveness, etc. The special structural features of GSH, such as the nucleophilicity of sulfhydryl group, the concerted reaction ability of amino group, the negative charged nature, the latent hydrogen bonding ability along with its flexible molecular chain, are all potent factors to be employed to design the specific fluorescent probe for GSH and discriminate it from other bio-species including its analogues cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy). This paper reviewed the studies in the last 3 years and was organized based on the reaction mechanism of each probe. According to the reactivity of GSH, various recognition mechanisms including Michael addition, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, ordinary nucleophilic substitution, multi-site reaction, and other unique reactions have been utilized to construct the GSH specific fluorescent probes, and the molecular design strategy, photophysical property, recognition mechanism, and bioimaging application of each reported probe were all discussed here systematically. Great progress has been made in this area, and we believe the analyses and summarization of these excellent studies would provide valuable message and inspiration to researchers to advance the research toward clinic applications.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl)/hypochlorite (ClO-) was a biologically important component of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and plays a key role in human immune function systems. HOCl/ClO- can destroy invasive bacteria and pathogens, and mediate the physiological balance of the organism with low concentrations, and cause oxidation of the biomolecules such as proteins, cholesterol and nucleic acid in biological cells, leading to a series of diseases with over capacity. Therefore, quantifying the content of HOCl/ClO- in organisms are extremely urgent. In this work, coumarin-salicylic hydrazide Schiff base (CMSH), a ratiometric and colorimetric fluorescent probe for ClO- detection based on coumarin as the fluorophore unit was rationally designed and synthesized. The results indicated that CMSH exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity for ClO- identification. Additionally, the ratios (I470/I532) displayed brilliant ClO--dependent quick and sensitive performance within 40 s and limitation of 128 nM, respectively. As well as the color of the solution changes from green to colorless accompanied by the fluorescence form green turns into blue with addition of ClO-. Totally, CMSH has been successfully employed as ratiometric sensor to image in living cells, bacteria and zebrafish with low cytotoxicity and good permeability.

Abstract
Bioselenols are important substances for the maintenance of physiological balance and offer anticancer properties; however, their causal mechanisms and effectiveness have not been assessed. One way to explore their physiological functions is the in vivo detection of bioselenols at the molecular level, and one of the most efficient ways to do so is to use fluorescent probes. Various types of bioselenol-specific fluorescent probes have been synthesized and optimized using chemical simulations and by improving biothiol fluorescent probes. Here, we review recent advances in bioselenol-specific fluorescent probes for selenocysteine (Sec), thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), and hydrogen selenide (H2Se). In particular, the molecular design principles of different types of bioselenols, their corresponding sensing mechanisms, and imaging applications are summarized.

Abstract
Through rational design, in vivo supramolecular construction of nanodrugs could precisely proceed in the lesion areas, which may apparently improve the theranostic performance of nanomaterials. Herein, a tumor microenvironment-responsive theranostic nanoplatform (Ce6-GA@MnO2-HA-PEG) has been constructed to achieve in vivo supramolecular construction and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of combined phototherapy through intracellular reassembly. Under the tumor microenvironment, such nanoplatform could undergo the process of decomposition-reassembly and form in situ photothermal assemblies. The generation of assemblies would endow this nanoplatform with the capacity of photothermal therapy. Meanwhile, this nanoplatform could alleviate hypoxia and improve the therapeutic efficacy of photodynamic therapy. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments reveal that tumors can be ablated efficiently by the designed nanoplatform under laser irradiation. In addition, fluorescence imaging and magnetic resonance imaging can be activated by the decomposition of MnO2 to realize tumor imaging in vivo. Therefore, this multifunctional nanoplatform exhibits the capacity for boosting dual-modal imaging-guided combined phototherapy through intracellular reassembly, which may propose a new thought in cancer theranostics.

Sensing mechanism of a ratiometric near-infrared fluorescent chemosensor for cysteine hydropersulfide: Intramolecular charge transfer. Sci Rep 2020; 10:711.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the cysteine hydropersulfide (Cys-SSH) as the sulfur donor is crucial to sulfur-containing cofactors synthesis. Recently, a selective and sensitive near-infrared ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor Cy-DiSe has been designed and synthesized to detect Cys-SSH spontaneously. Herein, by means of the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) approaches, the sensing mechanism has been thoroughly explored. According to our calculations, the experimental data have been reproduced. The results indicate the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) is the reason for changes in fluorescence wavelengths. Compared with the chemosensor Cy-DiSe, the larger energy gap of Cy induced by ICT mechanism leads to the blue-shift of the absorption and emission spectra, which guarantees that Cy-DiSe can become a ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor to detect Cys-SSH.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) plays a variety of vital functions in biological systems. Growth-associated change of GSH level in cells might be critical for cell survival and monitoring of GSH in living cells are of great significance for understanding the dynamic link between GSH and some diseases. In this work, chitason micelles templated gold nanoclusters (CM-Au NCs) emitting red fluorescence were prepared with a simple and rapid method, which shows interesting phenomenon of aggregation induced emission (AIE) affected by the size of the chitosan micelles. The unique CM-Au NCs can be used to develop turn-off fluorescent probe for detecting GSH in human serum and living cells based on the reverse process of AIE of CM-Au NCs, completely different from the principle of aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) effect, which can distinguish GSH from other biothiols (cysteine and homocysteine) and quantitatively detect GSH concentration of human serum in healthy people and cancer patients with high sensitivity. The practical application of fluorescent CM-Au NCs for cellular imaging and detecting GSH level indicates ultra-trace changes of GSH levels in normal and cancer cells could be monitored at different growth stages, which reveals that the levels of GSH in cancer cells was always higher than that of normal cells. Compared with commercial GSH assay kits for detection GSH in human serum and living cells, the proposed method was verified to be accuracy and precision. The results not only reflect the changes of GSH during cell growth at different stages, but also demonstrate the feasibility of reverse process of AIE of CM-Au NCs for detection GSH. This strategy would provide a platform to understand the dynamic link between GSH and disease to clarify the disease mechanism.

Abstract
Drug-induced hepatotoxicity is the main cause of acute liver injury, and its early diagnosis is indispensable in pharmacological and pathological studies. As a hepatotoxicity indicator, the GSH distribution in the liver could reflect the damage degree in situ. In this work, we have provided a theoretical design strategy to determine the generation of photo-induced electron transfer mechanism and achieve high selectivity for the target. After that, we precisely synthesized a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe BSR1 to specifically monitor endogenous GSH and hepatotoxicity in biosystem with a moderate fluorescent quantum yield (Φ = 0.394) and low detection limit (83 nM) under this strategy. Moreover, this mapping method for imaging GSH depletion in vivo to assay hepatotoxicity may provide a powerful molecular tool for early diagnosis of some diseases and contribute to assay hepatotoxicity for the development of new drugs. Importantly, this theoretical calculation-guided design strategy may provide an effective way for the precise synthesis of the target-specific fluorescent probe and change this research area from "trial-and-error" to concrete molecular engineering.

Abstract
Two naphthalimide-based fluorescent probes containing a thiomorpholine (Np-NS) or a sulfoxide-morpholine (Np-NSO) component are reported. The morpholine unit of non-fluorescent Np-NS and Np-NSO can transform into sulphone-morpholine and be accompanied by blue fluorescence upon oxidative stress, ascribed to the formation of sulphone-morpholine on probes. This sensing behavior displays that they can selectively respond to glutathione to generate a green emission by a sulfonamide-based detection moiety both in vitro and in living cells. Interestingly, the different oxidation states of a sulphur atom on a thiomorpholine ring can be utilized to regulate responsiveness of these probes towards glutathione. Such an oxidation strategy would provide a possibility for enhancing the response rate.

Abstract
A novel near-infrared (NIR) ratiometric fluorescent probe HBT-GSH derived from conjugated benzothiazole was developed for the selective detection of glutathione (GSH) over cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy). The probe was sophisticatedly designed based on the GSH selectively induced enhancement of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) fluorescence. It was synthesized by masking the active phenol group of 2,6-bis(2-vinylbenzothiazolyl)-4-fluorophenol through an acetyl group that acts both as a trigger of the ICT fluorescence and as a recognition moiety for GSH. On its own, the probe HBT-GSH exhibited strong blue fluorescence emission at 426 nm and weak NIR fluorescence emission at 665 nm in aqueous solution, whereas the NIR fluorescence was significantly enhanced and the short emission decreased upon the addition of GSH. Thus an NIR ratiometric fluorescent probe for GSH was developed based on the GSH-selective removal of the acetyl group, therefore switching on the ICT in HBT-GSH. The fluorescence intensity ratio (I665 nm/I426 nm) showed a linear relationship with a GSH concentration of 0-100 μM with a detection limit of 0.35 μM. Moreover, the fluorescent probe was successfully used for the ratiometric fluorescence bioimaging of GSH in living cells.

Abstract
Future food safety monitoring with simple, fast, and visual methods has become increasingly important. Accordingly, this work was designed to construct a new-style dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent probe (CdSe@SiO2@CdTe) for visual assay of glutathione (GSH) with a "turn on" strategy. After adding Hg2+, the red fluorescence of the outer CdTe quantum dots (QDs) was quenched through both electron transfer and ion-binding processes. Upon the addition of GSH, the red fluorescence occurred again owing to the strong affinity between GSH and Hg2+, whereas the inner green fluorescence of CdSe QDs was unchanged, leading to a clearly recognizable fluorescence color change (from green to orange-red). In the concentration range from 0.1 to 10 μM, the relative fluorescence intensity ratios ( I619/ I535) showed an excellent linear correlation with the concentration of GSH, and the detection limit was as low as 42 nM under optimal conditions. Meanwhile, the ratiometric hybrid probes were successfully applied for direct visual sensing GSH in real vegetable and fruit samples.

Abstract
Besides its widely known role as an endogenous antioxidant in scavenging free radicals, glutathione (GSH) can also play the role of prooxidant and promote CuO-induced formation of hydroxyl radicals to light up a fluorescent signal through Cu(i)-O2 chemistry without requiring additional H2O2. This approach is independent of the mechanisms of enzyme mimics, such as the well-known oxidase and peroxidase mimetics, providing a new method to simply and effectively analyze intracellular GSH.

Abstract
Here, a novel latent naphthalimide bearing water-soluble nanoprobes with catechol-Fe(III) cores (Fe@LNNPs) was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for in vivo fluorescence imaging of intracellular thiols, as various diseases are associated with overexpression of cellular biothiols. The Fe@LNNPs are mainly composed of three components. The inner part constitutes pyrocatechol groups, which can coordinate with Fe(III) to form a cross-linked core for improving the stability in the complex biological environment. The naphthalimide group is linked by disulfide with the core to quench the probe fluorescence. The outer part is designed to be a hydrophilic glycol corona for prolonging blood circulation. Also, a biotin group can be easily introduced into the nanoprobe for actively targeting the HepG2 cells. The fluorescence spectra reveals that the Fe@LNNPs can be reduced explicitly by glutathione to trigger the fluorescence emission. Confocal microscopic imagings and animal experiments manifest that the Fe@LNNPs, especially with biotin groups, have much better fluorescence signal imaging compared to the reported small-molecule probe 1' both in vitro and in vivo (up to 24 h). The Fe@LNNPs thus feature great advantages such as specificity, stability, biocompatibility, and long retention time for thiol-recognition imaging and hold potential applications in clinical cancer diagnosis.
