The first ER-targeting flavone-based fluorescent probe for Cys: Applications in real-time tracking in an epilepsy model and food analysis. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2025; 324:124975. [PMID: 39154402 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
Epilepsy is one of the most commonly-seen neurological disorders, and both endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and oxidative stress (OS) have been demonstrated to be associated with epileptic seizures. As one of the three endogenous thiol-containing amino acids, cysteine (Cys) is recognized not only as an important biomarker of various biological processes but also widely used as a significant additive in the food industry. However, the exact role that Cys plays in ERS has not been well answered up to now. In this paper, we reported the first flavone-based fluorescent probe (namely BFC) with nice endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeting ability, which was capable of monitoring Cys in a fast response (3.0 min), large stokes shift (130 nm) and low detection limit (10.4 nM). The recognition mechanism of Cys could be attributed to the addition-cyclization reaction involving a Cys residue and an acrylate group, resulting in the release of the strong excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) emission molecule of benzoflavonol (BF). The low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility of the probe BFC allowed for monitoring the fluctuation of endogenous Cys levels under both ERS and OS processes, as well as in zebrafish models of epilepsy. Quantitative determination of Cys with the probe BFC was also achieved in three different food samples. Additionally, a probe-immersed test strips integrated with a smartphone device was successfully constructed for on-site colorimetric detection of Cys. Undoubtedly, our work provided a valuable tool for tracking Cys levels in both an epilepsy model and real food samples.

Bioorg Chem 2024; 151:107678. [PMID: 39068715 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 07/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
The hydroxyl radical (OH) is highly reactive and plays a significant role in a number of physiological and pathological processes within biosystems. Aberrant changes in the level of hydroxyl radical are associated with many disorders including tumor, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. Thus, detecting reactive oxygen species (ROS) in biological systems and imaging them is highly significant. In this work, a novel fluorescent probe (HR-DL) has been developed, targeting two organelles simultaneously. The probe is based on a coumarin-quinoline structure and exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity towards hydroxyl radicals (OH). When reacting with OH, the hydrogen abstraction process released its long-range π-conjugation and ICT processes, leading to a substantial red-shift in wavelength. This probe has the benefits of good water solubility (in its oxidative state), short response time (within 10 s), and unique dual lysosome/mitochondria targeting capabilities. It has been applied for sensing OH in biosystem and inflammation mice models.

Abstract
In this work, based on the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism strategy, a new dual-increasing emission proportional near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe Lay-1 was designed for fast benzoyl peroxide (BPO) detection in real food samples and biosystems. Specifically, it employed a naphthylimide derivative and a NIR fluorophore dicyanoisophorone derivative as the energy transfer donor and acceptor, respectively, and a phenylboronic acid (Ph-B(OH)2) as the responding group of BPO. In addition, the results exhibited that the fluorescence color of Lay-1 was changed from red to orange in the absence and the presence of BPO with a fast response time (∼120 s), high sensitivity, and an excellent limit of detection as low as 60.8 nM. Impressively, Lay-1 has been successfully used for BPO detection in real food samples and biosystems with satisfactory results. Therefore, Lay-1 can be a robust molecular tool to further investigate the physiological and pathological function of BPO.

Abstract
Since the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in early 2020, there has been a notable rise in sodium hypochlorite disinfectants. Sodium hypochlorite undergoes hydrolysis to generate hypochlorous acid for virus eradication. This chlorine-based disinfectant is widely utilized for public disinfection due to its effectiveness. Although sodium hypochlorite disinfection is convenient, its excessive and indiscriminate use can harm the water environment and pose a risk to human health. Hypochlorous acid, a reactive oxygen species, plays a crucial role in the troposphere, stratospheric chemistry, and oxidizing capacity. Additionally, hypochlorous acid is vital as a reactive oxygen species in biological systems, and its irregular metabolism and level is associated with several illnesses. Thus, it is crucial to identify hypochlorous acid to comprehend its environmental and biological functions precisely. Here, we constructed a new fluorescent probe, utilizing the twisted intramolecular charge transfer mechanism to quickly and accurately detect hypochlorous acid in environmental water and biosystems. The probe showed a notable increase in fluorescence when exposed to hypochlorous acid, demonstrating its excellent selectivity, fast response time (less than 10 seconds), a large Stokes shift (∼ 102 nm), and a low detection limit of 15.5 nM.

Abstract
Abnormal homocysteine (Hcy) levels in human serum have been associated with serious or vital diseases, making the reliable and easy detection of Hcy important to clinical analysis and biological study. In this work, five phosphorescent Ir(C^N)2(N^N) complexes (Irn) having aldehyde group were synthesized as probes (C^N and N^N denoted ligands). A discussion was conducted on their molecular structure, electronic structure, photophysical parameters, and Hcy sensing ability, revealing the correlations between their molecular structures and performances. Irn emission was enhanced (by ∼ two folds) and blue-shifted (by 100 nm) after meeting Hcy (free state), via a cyclization reaction between the -CHO group (from Irn) and Hcy. In addition, using RE(BTC) as a supporting material (RE = Tb and Eu), the Ir(III) probe was loaded onto a supporting material of RE(BTC) (H3BTC = 1, 3, 5-benzenetricarboxylic acid). The emission color was changed by increasing Hcy concentration. Straight working curves were obtained with LOD (limit of detection) of 1.9 μM and a response time of ∼200 s. The novelty of this work was the combination of Irn with RE(BTC), which offered enhanced and blue-shifted emission upon Hcy via a cyclization reaction. This demonstrated a high level of sensitivity towards homocysteine detection.

Abstract
The low cost and simple detection method for Hcy (homocysteine) is highly desired in analytical and biological fields since Hcy has been regarded as a bio-marker for multiple diseases. In this work, five Ir(C^N)2(N^N)+ compounds having -CHO group in their C^N or N^N ligand were synthesized and tried for Hcy sensing. Electron-donating groups such as -NH2 and -CH3 were incorporated into the C^N or N^N ligand. Their geometric structure, electronic structure, and optical parameters (with or without Hcy) were analyzed and compared carefully to explore their Hcy sensing potential. The sensing mechanism was revealed by NMR titration and theoretical simulation as a cyclization reaction between the -CHO group and Hcy. The optimal compounds, which showed increased emission quantum yield (2.5-fold) and emission blue-shift (by ∼ 100 nm) upon Hcy, were then covalently grafted into a porous host bio-MOF-1. Linear working plots were fitted, with good selectivity, LOD of 0.15 μM, and response time of 33 s. The novelty of this work was the eye-sensitive emission color change of this nanosensing platform from red (without Hcy) to green (with Hcy).

Abstract
Cysteine is an important biological thiol and is closely related to cancer. It remains a challenge to develop a probe that can provide long-term fluorescence detection and imaging of Cys in cells as well as in living organisms. Here, a solid-state fluorophore HTPQ is combined with an acrylate group to construct a solid-state fluorescent probe HTPQC for Cys recognition. The fluorescence of the probe is quenched when the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process is turned on and the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process is turned off. In the presence of Cys, an obvious solid-state fluorescence signal can be observed. The double quenching mechanism makes the probe HTPQC have the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity, and high contrast of biological imaging. Due to low cytotoxicity, the probe HTPQC can be used to detect exogenous and endogenous Cys in living cells and is capable of imaging over long periods of time. By making full use of long wavelengths, the probe can be applied for the detection of Cys levels in tumor mice and equipped with the ability to conduct long-term imaging in vivo.

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 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
Highly bio-compatible organic semiconductors are widely used as biosensors, but their long-term stability can be compromised due to photo-degradation and structural instability. To address this issue, scientists have developed organic semiconductor nanoparticles (OSNs) by incorporating organic semiconductors into a stable framework or self-assembled structure. OSNs have shown excellent performance and can be used as high-resolution biosensors in modern medical and biological research. They have been used for a wide range of applications, such as detecting small biological molecules, nucleic acids, and enzyme levels, as well as vascular imaging, tumor localization, and more. In particular, OSNs can simulate fine particulate matters (PM2.5, indicating particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 μm) and can be used to study the biodistribution, clearance pathways, and health effects of such particles. However, there are still some problems that need to be solved, such as toxicity, metabolic mechanism, and fluorescence intensity. In this review, based on the structure and design strategies of OSNs, we introduce various types of OSNs-based biosensors with functional groups used as biosensors and discuss their applications in both in vitro and in vivo tracking. Finally, we also discuss the design strategies and potential future trends of OSNs-based biosensors. This review provides a theoretical scaffold for the design of high-performance OSNs-based biosensors and highlights important trends and future directions for their development and application.

Abstract
Epinephrine (EP) is a catecholamine hormone with a variety of physiological activities. Monitoring the concentration of EP in drugs, food, biological samples and cosmetics is of great significance for their quality control. Herein, a novel fluorescence sensing method was designed for the high-specificity detection of EP based on N-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CDs). The EP could interact with the fluorescent senor of N-CDs which emits blue fluorescence to produce concentration- dependent fluorescence quenching through the photo-induced electron transfer (PET). The established sensing method has good linearity in the range of 0.5-10 μM with the LOD of 0.15 μM. More importantly, it is highly selective because similar components with phenolic hydroxyl groups or primary amino groups, even norepinephrine (NEP), could not interfere with the detection. This method can provide a low-cost, rapid and simple new way for the detection of EP, and has a good application prospect in point-of-care assay and in situ test.

Abstract
We constructed a smartphone-integrated optosensor with inexpensive, reversible, environmental friendly, and rapid adsorption to detect Cu(II) and L-cysteine (L-Cys). The key part of this study was to prepare a red-to-blue colorimetric probe from herbaceous andrographis paniculata using one-pot polymerization at room temperature. When Cu(II) existed, the red fluorescence on the surface of the core-shell probe was quenched, while the blue fluorescence of the core did not respond, because the colorimetric probe interacted with the Cu(II) on the surface of red CDs. After L-Cys added, it interacted with the Cu(II) to strip it from the surface of red CDs, resulting in the recovery of fluorescence response. Under optimal conditions, the detection limits of this method for Cu(II) and L-Cys were 71 nM and 12 nM, respectively. Further, the red-to-blue colorimetric probe was integrated into smartphone with a software application to convert fluorescent color images into specific red (R), green (G), and blue (B) values. The spiked recovery of Cu(II) and L-Cys in lake water was verified the feasibility of the developed optosensors with a recovery of 98.2-101.6 % and 103.3-121.6 %. This method for detecting Cu(II) and L-Cys can not only recognize metal ions from actual samples, but also effectively protect CDs from quenching and restore fluorescence.

Abstract
Selenocysteine (SeCys) is the 21st genetically encoded amino acid present in proteins and is involved in various biological functions. Inappropriate levels of SeCys can be considered as a sign of various diseases. Therefore, small molecular fluorescent probes for the detection and imaging of SeCys in vivo in biological systems are considered to be of significant interest for understanding the physiological role of SeCys. Thus, this article mainly provides a critical evaluation of recent advances made in SeCys detection along with the biomedical applications based on small molecular fluorescent probes published in the literature during the past half a dozen years. Therefore, the article primarily deals with the rational design of fluorescent probes, wherein these were selective towards SeCys over other biologically abundant molecules, in particular the thiol-based ones. The detection has been monitored by different spectral techniques, such as fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy and in some cases even visual color changes. Further, the detection mechanism and the utility of fluorescent probes for in vitro and in vivo cell imaging applications are addressed. For clarity, the main features have been conveniently divided into four categories based on the chemical reactions of the probe, viz., in terms of the cleavage of the responsive group by the SeCys nucleophile: (i) 2,4-dinitrobene sulphonamide group, (ii) 2,4-dinitrobenesulfonate ester group, (iii) 2,4-dinitrobenzeneoxy group and (iv) miscellaneous types. Overall this article deals with the analysis of more than two dozen fluorescent probes demonstrated for selective detection of SeCys along with their applications towards disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Many successful stories in enzyme engineering are based on the creation of randomized diversity in large mutant libraries, containing millions to billions of enzyme variants. Methods that enabled their evaluation with high throughput are dominated by spectroscopic techniques due to their high speed and sensitivity. A large proportion of studies relies on fluorogenic substrates that mimic the chemical properties of the target or coupled enzymatic assays with an optical read-out that assesses the desired catalytic efficiency indirectly. The most reliable hits, however, are achieved by screening for conversions of the starting material to the desired product. For this purpose, functional group assays offer a general approach to achieve a fast, optical read-out. They use the chemoselectivity, differences in electronic and steric properties of various functional groups, to reduce the number of false-positive results and the analytical noise stemming from enzymatic background activities. This review summarizes the developments and use of functional group probes for chemoselective derivatizations, with a clear focus on screening for enzymatic activity in protein engineering.

Abstract
Typical PeT-based fluorescent probes are multi-component systems where a fluorophore is connected to a recognition/activating group by an unconjugated linker. PeT-based fluorescent probes are powerful tools for cell imaging and disease diagnosis due to their low fluorescence background and significant fluorescence enhancement towards the target. This review provides research progress towards PeT-based fluorescent probes that target cell polarity, pH and biological species (reactive oxygen species, biothiols, biomacromolecules, etc.) over the last five years. In particular, we emphasise the molecular design strategies, mechanisms, and application of these probes. As such, this review aims to provide guidance and to enable researchers to develop new and improved PeT-based fluorescent probes, as well as promoting the use of PeT-based systems for sensing, imaging, and disease therapy.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), one of the biological thiols, which plays critical roles in biological system regulating the balance of redox homeostasis. In order to monitor the level of Cys in the living cells and organisms, a chromogenic fluorescence probe Rhocl-Cys based on Rhodamine chloride exhibiting the preferable performance of fluorescence turn-on response reacting with Cys was presented. Rhocl-Cys responded rapidly to Cys within 20 min, and had stable fluorescence intensity within pH 6.0-10.0, high selectivity towards Cys and the anti-inference capability with a low detection limit of 0.80 μM. In particular, Rhocl-Cys could qualitatively and quantitatively monitor the level of endogenous and exogenous Cys in living cells and successfully apply to zebrafish detecting Cys. Therefore, these results might further provide the basis exploring the role of Cys in biological system and facilitate as clinical diagnostic molecular tools.

Abstract
As a global mental disorder, depression is associated with oxidative stress in the brain. Cysteine, a reductive biothiols, regulates the oxidative situation in many biological events including the stress that occurs in the tissues. Exploring the pathology and physiology of depression is still a challenge and always in an urgent need. Thus, developing a new method that could track Cys level without the interferes from other competing substances is of great importance. Herein, we developed a fluorescence probe that could selectively sensing Cys over other biothiols. Besides, we have demonstrated its desirable performance in cellular applications and mouse brain. This work provides a new method for Cys imaging and understanding pathogenesis of depression. We hope the work described here could be used as a potential chemical approach for the diagnosis of Cys associated diseases in clinical applications.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, non-apoptotic form of programmed cell death driven by excessive lipid peroxidation (LPO). Mounting evidence suggests that the unique modality of cell death is involved in the development and progression of several diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), neurodegenerative disorders, etc. However, the pathogenesis and signalling pathways of ferroptosis are not fully understood, possibly due to the lack of robust tools for the highly selective and sensitive imaging of ferroptosis analytes in complex living systems. Up to now, various small-molecule fluorescent probes have been applied as promising chemosensors for studying ferroptosis through tracking the biomolecules or microenvironment-related parameters in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we comprehensively reviewed the recent development of small-molecule fluorescent probes for studying ferroptosis, with a focus on the analytes, design strategies and bioimaging applications. We also provided new insights to overcome the major challenges in this emerging field.

Abstract
Real-time and sensitive detection of biothiols is the key to biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. It is necessary to develop a highly sensitive and selective fluorescent probe for the detection of biothiols. In this paper, we have developed a series of meso-arylselenium BODIPY probes for the rapid and sensitive detection of biothiols and the dual-channel discrimination of GSH and Cys/Hcy. A structure-activity relationship was established from five p-substituted phenylselenium (R = NO2, F, H, OCH3 or N(CH2CH2)2O) BODIPYs. Compared with most reported fluorescent probes, such as meso-BODIPY sulfur ethers, these probes display much lower LODs (∼nM levels) and more rapid responses, which are ascribed to the higher fluorescence efficiencies of the sensing products (Φf = 0.48 for GSH, 0.18 for Cys and 0.14 for Hcy) and the introduction of arylselenium, which is more active than arylthiol. Among them, the best sensing performance is that of probe 2a (R = NO2); therefore, a structure-activity relationship of these fluorescent probes was also obtained. The excellent sensing performance was further revealed in the detection of GSH and Cys/Hcy in live cells.

Abstract
Small-molecule biothiols, including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), participate in various pathological and physiological processes. It is still a challenge to simultaneously distinguish Cys and Hcy because of their similar structures and reactivities, as well as the interference from the high intramolecular concentration of GSH. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe, CySI, based on cyanine and thioester was developed to differentiate Cys and Hcy through a single-wavelength excitation and two distinctly separated emission channels. The probe exhibited a turn-on fluorescence response to Cys at both 625 nm (the red channel) and 740 nm (the near-infrared channel) but only showed fluorescence turn-on to Hcy at 740 nm (the near-infrared channel) and no fluorescent response to GSH. With the aid of built-in self-calibration of single excitation and dual emissions, simultaneous discriminative determinations of Cys and Hcy were realized through red and near-infrared channels. CySI exhibited excellent selectivity toward Cys and Hcy with a fast response. This probe was further exploited to visualize exogenous Cys and Hcy in cells through dual emission channels under one excitation. Moreover, it could efficiently target mitochondria and was applied to monitor the endogenous Cys fluctuations independently in mitochondria through the red emission channel.

Abstract
Thiophenol, which is a highly toxic sulfhydryl compound widely used in chemical industry, is an environmental pollutant that threatens human health significantly. It is of great importance to detect highly toxic thiophenols in both environmental and biological system. Thus, the need to develop rapid response, selective and sensitive probes is urgent. In this study, a novel probe was presented for the detection of thiophenols based on an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. This probe exhibits rapid response, broad pH adaptation (2-10), highly selectivity, a large Stokes shift (131 nm) and 40-fold enhancement in fluorescence. Besides, this probe showed low toxicity towards human cell HEK293 and could be applied to detect thiophenol both in living cells, zebrafish and environmental water samples with good recovery (over 94%). All the results indicated that this probe could be a promising sensor for applications for thiophenol derivatives detection in both environmental and biological sciences.

Abstract
Chemistry of organoselenium reagents have now become an important tool of synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry. These reagents activate the olefinic double bonds and used to archive the number of organic transformations under mild reaction conditions. A number of organoselenium compounds have been identified as potent oxidants. Recently, various organoselenium species have been employed as chemical sensors for detecting toxic metals. Moreover, a number of selenium-based fluorescent probes have been developed for detecting harmful peroxides and ROS. In this review article, the synthesis of selenium-based fluorescent probes will be covered including their application in the detection of toxic metals and harmful peroxides including ROS.

Abstract
Potent oxidants such as peroxynitrite (ONOO-) play important roles in the regulation of different physiopathological processes; their overproduction is thought to potentially cause several diseases in living organisms. Hence, the precise and selective monitoring of ONOO- is imperative for elucidating its interplay and roles in pathological and physiological processes. Herein, we present a novel diphenyl phosphinate-masked benzoindocyanin "turn-on" fluorogenic probe to help detect mitochondrial ONOO- in living cells and zebrafish models. A pale yellow color solution of BICBzDP turns rose-red upon the addition of ONOO-, selectively, contrary to that of other competitive bioactive molecules. BICBzDP displays an ultra-sensitivity detection limit (47.8 nM) with outstanding selectivity and sensitivity towards mitochondrial ONOO- and possesses a notable 68-fold fluorescence enhancement involving a large redshift of 91 nm. Importantly, further biological experimental investigations with BICBzDP indicate specific sensitivity and reliability of the probe to track the ONOO- level, not only in live cells, but also demonstrates dynamic fluctuations in the inflammatory zebrafish animal models. Thus, BICBzDP could be employed as a future potential biological tool for exploiting the role of ONOO- in a variety of different physiological systems.

Abstract
Inflammation is a significant protective response in biological systems and associated with various diseases. Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) as a highly active oxidant participates in the inflammatory process of organisms. Thus, it is necessary to construct novel fluorescent probes for exploring inflammation-related diseases through detecting endogenous ONOO-. Resorufin-based fluorescent probes for testing ONOO- were rare and suffered from poor water solubility. In this work, we elaborately designed three resorufin-based incorporating isatin derivatives probes RF-ITs and successfully obtained two highly selective probes RF-IT-OC and RF-IT-EG for ONOO-. Comparing the other two probes, RF-IT-EG containing triethylene glycol monomethyl ether on isatin moiety displayed better water solubility (3.2 mg/L), faster response rate (60 s), larger signal-to-noise ratio (103-fold) and lower detection limit (87 nM) for monitoring ONOO-. The cells imaging results manifested that probe RF-IT-EG could be applied to trace endogenous ONOO- with inappreciable cytotoxicity. Moreover, the RF-IT-EG was capable of tracking the fluctuation of endogenous ONOO- in LPS-stimulated inflamed mouse leg models. This work will provide a faithful and promising probe for illustrating the roles of ONOO- in various inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
We developed a fluorescent probe, named 2-(4-(acryloyloxy) phenyl)-4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-7-(diethylamino) chromenylium (PA-A), for detecting Cys using the -OH protection/deprotection strategy, which can react with Cys to form a red-emitting anthocyanidin derivative fluorophore. The probe has high selectivity to Cys over Hcy and GSH in phosphate buffer solution (PBS, 10 mM, pH = 7.4), high sensitivity, a low detection limit of 4.48 × 10-8 mol/L, and it can be recognized with the naked eye. Fluorescence imaging experiment of Cys with PA-A at the cellular successfully showed excellent tissue penetration.

Abstract
Metallo-elements have both pharmacological and toxic effects on plants, animals and humans. These are considered as a major public health issue worldwide. In particular, heavy metals such as silver (Ag) and aluminum (Al) are environmentally widespread, and their relative toxicity can lead to numerous pathologies such as nephropathy, cancers, vascular and skin diseases. The goal of this study was to examine the behavioral effects of Ag and Al salts (i.e. Silver nitrate and Aluminum sulfate) on glutathione (GSH), a potent oxidant in biological mixtures. We also aimed to suggest mechanisms of action of thiolate complexed to these metallo-elements in competitive studies with Ellman’s reagent (5,5’-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid aka ESSE). By proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, detailed titrations were carried out for these metal thiols interactions in the presence of ESSE in order to elucidate first equilibrium and possible second equilibrium. We found by 1H NMR spectroscopy that GSH binds to Ag and Al, which highlighted possible in-vivo chelation mechanisms of GSH toward these toxic metallo-elements.

Abstract
Impairment of the protein quality control network leads to the accumulation of unfolded and aggregated proteins. Direct detection of unfolded protein accumulation in the cells may provide the possibility for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. Here a new platform based on a peptide-conjugated thiol-reactive aggregation-induced emission fluorogen (AIEgen), named MI-BTD-P (or D1), for labeling and tracking unfolded proteins in cells is reported. In vitro experiments with model proteins show that the non-fluorescent D1 only becomes highly fluorescent when reacted with the thiol group of free cysteine (Cys) residues on unfolded proteins but not glutathione or folded proteins with buried or surface exposed Cys. When the labeled unfolded proteins form aggregates, D1 fluorescence intensity is further increased, and fluorescence lifetime is prolonged. D1 is then used to measure unfolded protein loads in cells by flow cytometry and track the aggregate formation of the D1 labeled unfolded proteins using confocal microscopy. In combination with fluorescence lifetime imaging technique, the proteome at different folding statuses can be better differentiated, demonstrating the versatility of this new platform. The rational design of D1 demonstrates the outlook of incorporation of diverse functional groups to achieve maximal sensitivity and selectivity in biological samples.

Abstract
In this work, a new series of 2-hydroxybenzophenone (BPOH) derivatives, BPOH-TPA, BPOH-PhCz, and BPOH-SF substituting with different electron-donating groups are designed and synthesized. Dual-emission spectra are observed in solutions indicating their excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) character. In solid states, all compounds exhibit a broad emission spectrum when excited at low excitation energy, deriving from the enol-type form stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Compound BPOH-TPA shows a clear excitation wavelength dependence. However, such behavior is absent in BPOH-PhCz and BPOH-SF, as the rigid and weaker donor moieties may restrict this process. Furthermore, by increasing the excitation energy, dual emission with a high-energy band ranging from 550 to 582 nm and a low-energy band ranging from 625 to 638 nm is obtained in all three molecules. The photophysical studies and single-crystal analyses are performed to further illustrate the excitation-dependent emission. Higher excitation energies can promote more excitons to keto forms via ESIPT, giving a stronger redshifted emission. BPOH-TPA with a stronger donor strength exhibits an obvious color change gradually from yellow to orange-red with the increasing excitation power from 1 to 15 mW/cm2. This study provides a novel example of ESIPT materials with tunable emission colors.

Abstract
Self-reporting smart materials are highly relevant in modern soft matter materials science, as they allow for the autonomous detection of changes in synthetic polymers, materials, and composites. Despite critical advantages of such materials, for example, prolonged lifetime or prevention of disastrous material failures, they have gained much less attention than self-healing materials. However, as diagnosis is critical for any therapy, it is of the utmost importance to report the existence of system changes and their exact location to prevent them from spreading. Thus, we herein critically review the chemistry of self-reporting soft matter materials systems and highlight how current challenges and limitations may be overcome by successfully transferring self-reporting research concepts from the laboratory to the real world. Especially in the space of diagnostic self-reporting systems, the recent SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic indicates an urgent need for such concepts that may be able to detect the presence of viruses or bacteria on and within materials in a self-reporting fashion.

Abstract
A simple process, rich information, and intelligent response are the goals pursued by cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we developed a core-shell plasmonic nanomaterial (Au@MnO2-DNA), which consisted of a AuNP core with an outer shell MnO2 nanosheet decorated with fluorophore modified DNA, to achieve the aforementioned aims. On the basis of the unique optical properties of plasmonic nanoparticles and the oxidability of the shell MnO2, scattering signal and fluorescence (FL) signal changes were both related to the expression level of glutathione (GSH), for which a dual-mode imaging analysis was successfully achieved on single optical microscope equipment with one-key switching. Meanwhile, the product of Mn2+ from the reaction between MnO2 and GSH not only served as a smart chemodynamic agent to initiate Fenton-like reaction for achieving chemodynamic therapy (CDT) of cancer cells but also relieved the side effect of intracellular GSH in cancer therapy. Therefore, the core-shell plasmonic nanomaterials with dual modal switching features and diagnostic properties act as excellent probes for achieving bioanalysis of aberrant levels of intracellular GSH and simultaneously activating the CDT of cancer cells based on the in situ reactions in cancer cells.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are chronic neurodegenerative diseases with high morbidity and mortality. Homocysteine (Hcy), cysteine (Cys), and glutathione (GSH) are closely related to AD and PD. However, the dynamics of Hcy, Cys, and GSH in the brain tissues and the potential pathogenesis between Cys/Hcy/GSH with AD and PD remain unclear. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe 1 with multiple binding sites was rationally designed and exploited for the direct quantification of serum total Hcy and Cys along with superior optical properties. Importantly, differentiation and simultaneity fluorescence imaging of Cys, Hcy, and GSH dynamics were achieved in living cells, tissues, and mouse models of AD and PD with this probe, providing direct evidences for the relationship between Hcy/Cys/GSH and AD/PD for the first time. In addition, pathogenesis studies demonstrated that elevated Hcy and Cys levels are closely related to imbalanced redox homeostasis, increased amyloid aggregates, and nerve cell cytotoxicity. These findings will greatly promote the understanding of the functions of Hcy/Cys/GSH in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, demonstrating clinical promise for the early diagnosis and prevention of AD and PD.

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
The combination of nanotechnology and chemotherapy has resulted in more effective drug design via the development of nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) for tumor targeting. Stimulus-responsive DDSs in response to internal or external signals can offer precisely controlled delivery of preloaded therapeutics. Among the various DDSs, the photo-triggered system improves the efficacy and safety of treatment through spatiotemporal manipulation of light. Additionally, pH-induced delivery is one of the most widely studied strategies for targeting the acidic micro-environment of solid tumors. Accordingly, in this review, we discuss representative strategies for designing DDSs using light as an exogenous signal or pH as an endogenous trigger.

Abstract
A fluorescent sensor based on coumarin-maleimide conjugate was developed for efficient discrimination of Cys from Hcy and GSH in both organic and aqueous solution. Addition of Cys to the non-fluorescent sensor solution in DMF induced bright blue fluorescence and enhanced the fluorescence intensity by 320-fold while other amino acids and biothiols (Gly, Hcy, GSH, Glu, Val, Tyr, Arg, Trp, Lys, His, Leu, Phe, Asp and Met) did not bring about remarked change. The sensor responds to Cys extremely rapidly. If Cys was added to the sensor solution, the fluorescence intensity increased by 170-fold immediately and attained the maximum value in 5 min. A linear relationship was observed between Cys concentration within 2-20 μM and the fluorescence intensity of the sensor solution. The detection limit of the sensor toward Cys is as low as 4.7 nM. The sensor is also effective for specific detection of Cys in aqueous (DMF/H2O = 9:1, v/v) solution. Practical application of the sensor to drug analysis and bioimaging of living Hela cells has been verified. Possible sensing mechanism of the sensor toward Cys has been proposed.

Abstract
Evident from numerous studies, cysteine plays a crucial role in cellular function. Reactions with analyte also enables for molecular recognition to adhere to molecular therapeutic potential; integration between synthetic probes therefore allows for a potentially deep therapy-related interogation of biological systems (theranostics). The development of molecular cysteine probes with extremely accurate detection is still a key challenge for the field. The development of water-soluble organic molecular fluorescent probes able to efficiently distinguish common biothiols such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) by chemical recognition means i.e. by (binding, cleavage) in biological systems is a greatly sought research challenge due to the similarity of the small sulfhydryl-containing species. Herein, we have developed a water-soluble and highly cell viable fluorescent organic molecule (log P = 0.82) for the selective detection of cysteine. The probe (Myco-Cys) shows a "turn-on" response with the cleavage ester linkage of the methacrylate as cysteine is encountered in solution. The probe shows strong fluorescence enhancement (16.5-fold) when treated with Cys (1 equiv., 10 μM) compared to closely related species such as amino acids, including HCy/GSH, and the limit of detection was determined as 45.0 nM. DFT calculations helped confirm the photomechanism of Myco-Cys. Furthermore, the sensing ability of the probe was demonstrated by living cell assays through the use of confocal fluorescence microscopy. Myco-Cys could selectively detect cysteine among biothiols. Myco-Cys was able to monitor the cysteine level, apart from the oxidative stress present in the form of H2O2 in A549 cells.
