Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is not only a well-established toxic gas but also an important small molecule bioregulator in all kingdoms of life. In contemporary biology, H2S is often classified as a "gasotransmitter," meaning that it is an endogenously produced membrane permeable gas that carries out essential cellular processes. Fluorescent probes for H2S and related reactive sulfur species (RSS) detection provide an important cornerstone for investigating the multifaceted roles of these important small molecules in complex biological systems. A now common approach to develop such tools is to develop "activity-based probes" that couple a specific H2S-mediated chemical reaction to a fluorescent output. This Review covers the different types of such probes and also highlights the chemical mechanisms by which each probe type is activated by specific RSS. Common examples include reduction of oxidized nitrogen motifs, disulfide exchange, electrophilic reactions, metal precipitation, and metal coordination. In addition, we also outline complementary activity-based probes for imaging reductant-labile and sulfane sulfur species, including persulfides and polysulfides. For probes highlighted in this Review, we focus on small molecule systems with demonstrated compatibility in cellular systems or related applications. Building from breadth of reported activity-based strategies and application, we also highlight key unmet challenges and future opportunities for advancing activity-based probes for H2S and related RSS.

Zeng J, Liu M, Yang T, Li S, Cheng D, He L. A single mitochondria-targetable fluorescent probe for visualizing cysteine and glutathione in ferroptosis of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Talanta 2024; 270:125610. [PMID: 38159348 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125610] [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: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Ferroptosis plays an important role in the early stage of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury, which is closely associated with the antioxidant damage of mitochondrial cysteine (Cys)/glutathione (GSH)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) axis. Visualization of Cys and GSH in mitochondria is meaningful to value ferroptosis and further contributes to understanding and preventing MI/R injury. Herein a mitochondria-targetable thiols fluorescent probe (MTTP) was designed and synthesized based on sulfonyl benzoxadiazole (SBD) chromophore with a triphenylphosphine unit as the mitochondria-targeted functional group. Cys and GSH can be differentiated by MTTP with two distinguishable emission bands (583 nm and 520 nm) through the controllable aromatic substitution-rearrangement reaction. Importantly, MTTP is capable of monitoring ferroptosis and its inhibition by measuring mitochondrial Cys and GSH. MTTP was also employed to non-invasively detect ferroptosis during oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced MI/R injury in H9C2 cells. In a word, MTTP provides a visual tool that can simultaneously detect Cys and GSH to monitor ferroptosis processes during MI/R injury, which helps for more deeper understanding of the role of ferroptosis in MI/R injury-related diseases.

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

Abstract
Sulfhydryl-containing compounds including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are involved in many physiological processes. The development of single-molecule optical sensor for the distinguish detection of these bio-thiols is a critical and challenging effort. In this work, we designed a one-step synthesis of the Rhodamine-based sensor FR for specific fluorescent response of Cys and simultaneously colorimetric detection of H2S, in which the aldehyde and fluorine groups act as response sites. Sensor FR displays significant fluorescence enhancement at 565 nm toward Cys with high selectivity and low detection limits (49 nM) due to the low background fluorescent signal of the spirocyclic closed-state in Rhodamine structure. Meantime, after treatment of H2S, the color of the sensor changes significantly from colorless to blue-purple, which can be used as a visual colorimetric method to detect H2S. These response mechanisms were systematically characterized by 1H NMR and Mass spectrometry. Finally, sensor FR could be used to monitor exogenous and endogenous of intracellular Cys changes.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) are important biothiols in living organisms. They play important roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, it is very important to design an optical probe for the selective detection of Cys/Hcy. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a fluorescent probe NBD-B-T based on a boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) structure, which showed an excellent lysosome targeting ability and an outstanding Cys/Hcy detection capacity. For NBD-B-T, the sensing group 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) and the lysosomal targeting group morpholine were introduced. The results show that the NBD-B-T probe can detect Cys/Hcy with fluorescence emission turn-on performance. The low detection limits of this probe are about 76.0 nM for Hcy and 97.6 nM for Cys, respectively. The NBD-B-T probe has a low detection limit, high stability, and excellent selectivity and sensitivity. More importantly, the NBD-B-T can target lysosome, and simultaneously detect the Cys/Hcy in living cells.

Abstract
Biothiols (GSH, Hcy, Cys) are important active sulfur substances in biological systems and widely participate in various physiological processes. The three kinds of biothiols have similar chemical structures, including the sulfhydryl group (-SH) and an amino group (-NH2), so distinguishing two or more of them simultaneously is an important challenge. Herein, a nopinone-based fluorescent probe 3-(3-((4-nitrobenzoxadiazole vinyl) nopinyl difluoride (NF-NBD) was designed to distinguish GSH and Hcy/Cys by generating different fluorescence channels with a single excitation wavelength. The nitrobenzodioxazole (NBD) was introduced in the fluorescent probe by ether bounds that can quench fluorescence and selectively discriminate GSH and Hcy/Cys. After reacting with GSH and Hcy/Cys, NF-NBD exhibited strong fluorescence (green for GSH and yellow for Hcy/Cys). NF-NBD displayed a wide linear range, low detection limit, a rapid response time, and superior selectivity for biothiols. Furthermore, NF-NBD was applied to image and distinguish different biothiols in living cells and zebrafish via different fluorescence signals at a single excitation wavelength.

Abstract
In recent years, hydrazine hydrate has been widely used in various fields as fuel and chemical raw materials, etc. However, hydrazine hydrate is also a potential threat to living body and natural environment. The effective method is urgently needed to detect hydrazine hydrate in our living environment. Secondly, as a precious metal, palladium has attracted more and more attention because of its excellent properties in industrial manufacturing and chemical catalysis. However, its potential danger is also slowly approaching, so it is necessary to find an excellent way to detect palladium, too. Herein, a fluorescent molecule, 4,4',4'',4'''-(1,4-phenylenebis(2H-1,2,3-triazole-2,4,5-triyl)) tetrabenzoic acid (NAT), was synthesized. Firstly, NAT has very high selectivity and sensitivity for determination of Pd2+, because Pd2+ can coordinate well with carboxyl oxygen of NAT. The detection performance of Pd2+ is that the linear range is from 0.06 to 4.50 μM and the detection limit is 16.4 nM. Furthermore, the chelate (NAT-Pd2+) can continue to be used for quantitative determination of hydrazine hydrate with a linear range of 0.05-6.00 μM and the detection limit is 19.1 nM. The interaction time of NAT-Pd2+ and hydrazine hydrate is about 10 min. Of course, it also has good selectivity and strong anti-interference ability for many common metal ions, anions and amine like compounds. At last, the ability of NAT to quantitatively detect Pd2+ and hydrazine hydrate in actual samples has also been verified and the results are very satisfactory.

Abstract
High level of intracellular glutathione (GSH) has been identified as a major barrier for cancer therapy. Therefore, effective regulation of GSH can be regarded as a novel approach for cancer therapy. In this study, an off-on fluorescent probe (NBD-P) is developed for selective and sensitive sensing GSH. NBD-P has a good cell membrane permeability that can be applied in bioimaging endogenous GSH in living cells. Moreover, the NBD-P probe is used to visualize GSH in animal models. In addition, a rapid drug screening method is successfully established using the fluorescent probe NBD-P. A potent natural inhibitor of GSH is identified as Celastrol from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, which effectively triggers mitochondrial apoptosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). More importantly, NBD-P can selectively respond to GSH fluctuations to distinguish cancer tissues from normal tissues. Thus, the present study provides insights into fluorescence probes for the screening GSH inhibitors and cancer diagnosis, as well as in-depth exploration of the anti-cancer effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

[PMID: 37185522 PMCID: PMC10136212 DOI: 10.3390/bios13040447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
In this work, a coumarin derivative, SWJT-14, was synthesized as a fluorescence probe to distinguish cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) in aqueous solutions. The detection limit of Cys, Hcy and GSH for the probe was 0.02 μM, 0.42 μM and 0.92 μM, respectively, which was lower than biothiols in cells. The probe reacted with biothiols to generate different products with different conjugated structures. Additionally, it could distinguish Cys, Hcy and GSH using fluorescence and UV-Vis spectra. The detection mechanism was confirmed by MS. SWJT-14 was successfully used in cellular experiments and detected both endogenous and exogenous biothiols.

Abstract
Biothiols and hydrogen sulfide, as critical sulfur-containing reactive substances, serve essential functions in various human pathological processes, making it challenging to simultaneously distinguish them due to their similar reactivity and structures (-SH). Here, we rationalized the development of a single-wavelength excitation near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe, FC-NBD, for distinguishing GSH/H2S and Cys/Hcy by separated fluorescence dual channels. In this probe, FC-NBD, composed of coumarin-benzopyrylium derivatives linked with nitro benzoxadiazole (NBD) via ether bonds, could quantitatively and selectively distinguish GSH/H2S and Cys/Hcy with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.199/0.177 μM and 0.106/0.076 μM, respectively. As expected, under single-wavelength excitation (470 nm), FC-NBD demonstrated distinctly separable green and NIR fluorescence emissions towards Cys/Hcy at 550 and 660 nm, but only exhibited a noticeable NIR fluorescence emission towards GSH/H2S at 660 nm. Moreover, FC-NBD could simultaneously visualize and discriminate GSH/H2S and Cys/Hcy in living cells as well as zebrafish through green and NIR channels at a single excitation wavelength.

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
In the design work of fluorescent probes, it is important to consider not only the factors of fluorescence properties but also the environment in which the fluorescent molecule works. This requires the design of auxiliary groups to refine the fluorescent molecule. Nowadays, more and more fluorescent molecules are not limited to the traditional fluorescent probe consisting of a fluorophore, linker arm and recognition group, but integrate the three into one, and introduce auxiliary groups where possible. Auxiliary groups are "catalytic groups" that do not interact with the substrate, or "catalyze" the interaction of the recognition group with the substrate. The introduced auxiliary groups can improve the sensitivity and selectivity of the detection to some extent, which has attracted great interest from researchers. Although previous work has focused on this aspect, no one has summarized it systematically and comprehensively. So this review summarizes the role of auxiliary groups that are classified into three categories according to the different mechanisms between the auxiliary groups and the substance, in improving the performance of fluorescent probes in recent years (2012-2022). In particular, we generalize the mechanisms of the auxiliary groups in improving the sensitivity and selectivity of fluorescent probes. Also, the fundamental principles of auxiliary groups to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of fluorescent probes are discussed and future research directions in this field are proposed.

Abstract
A conjugated polymer-based fluorescence sensor, namely, PTNPy, was constructed on the basis of a polythiophene scaffold coupled with dimethylpyridylamine (DPA) groups in side chains for the consecutive detection and quantification of Cu2+ and Hcy in a perfect aqueous medium. A dramatic fluorescence quenching of PTNPy by the addition of Cu2+ was observed in Tris-HCl buffer solution (2 mM, pH 7.4), demonstrating a quick (<1 min) and highly selective response to Cu2+ with a low limit of detection of 6.79 nM. Subsequently, the Cu2+-quenched fluorescence of PTNPy can be completely recovered by homocysteine (Hcy), showing excellent selectivity to Hcy over other competitive species such as cysteine and glutathione. Thanks to the low cytotoxicity and lysosomal targeting ability of PTNPy, it was further applied as an optical sensor for the sequential imaging of Cu2+ and Hcy in HeLa cells. More importantly, Hcy concentration was linearly related to the fluorescence intensity of PTNPy in living cells, demonstrating huge potential for real-time monitoring the fluctuation of Hcy levels in living cells.

Abstract
RATIONALE Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is one of the most popular techniques for obtaining structural information, which is commonly used in bioanalysis and clinical diagnostics. However, for the detection of complicated samples with high reactivities (such as reactive sulfur species, RSS), traditional ESI-MS usually suffers from overlapped and inaccurate signals. In this study, based on the multiphase flow of extractive electrospray ionization (MF-EESI), an ambient MS technique of online derivatization was proposed to detect thiols without any other sample pretreatment. METHODS RSS molecules and the derivatization reagent of 4-chloro-7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl) were introduced into the internal and innermost capillary of the MF-EESI system, respectively. By a high-velocity nebulizing stream of N2 gas through an external capillary, both flows of innermost biothiols and internal NBD-Cl were electrosprayed and mixed for online reactions. Therefore, the fast derivatization of thiols was used to generate stable ionized derivatives for MS detection. RESULTS By evaluating the changes in MS signals before and after the derivatization, the ions of RSS were identified simply and correctly. Without any sample pretreatment, the fast detection of cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione has been achieved in the complicated samples. CONCLUSIONS The present online derivatization-based MF-EESI was successfully used for fast, simple, and accurate detection of biothiols. This presented a potential pathway for the fast identification of thiols in complicated samples.

Abstract
This work initially reports a new nanosening method for simple, sensitive, specific, visual detection of mercury (II) (Hg2+) and glutathione (GSH) using the Tyndall Effect (TE) of the same colloidal gold nanoparticle (GNP) probes for efficient colorimetric signaling amplification. For the TE-inspired assay (TEA) method, arginine (Arg) molecules are pre-modified on the GNPs' surfaces (Arg-GNPs). Upon the Hg2+ introduction, it can be specifically coordinated with the terminal -NH2 and -COOH groups of the Arg molecules to make the Arg-GNPs aggregate, producing a significantly-enhanced TE signal in the reaction solution after its irradiation by a 635-nm red laser pointer pen. On the other hand, the introduction of the GSH results in the production of the original Arg-GNPs' weak TE response, as it is able to bind such metal ion via mercury-thiol reactions to inhibit the above aggregation. Under the optimal conditions, the utility of the new TEA method is well demonstrated to quantitatively detect the Hg2+ and GSH with the aid of a smartphone as a portable TE reader during the linear concentration ranges of 50-3000 and 10-3000 nM, respectively. The detection limits for the Hg2+ and GSH are estimated to be as low as ∼3.5 and ∼0.3 nM, respectively. The recovery results obtained from the detection of Hg2+ in the complex tap and pond water samples and the assay of GSH in real human serum and urine samples are also satisfactory.

Abstract
Sulfur is an element that is indispensable throughout the growth of plants. In plant cells, reactive sulfur species (RSS) play a vital role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and signal transduction. There is demand accordingly for a simple, highly selective, and sensitive method of RSS detection and imaging for monitoring dynamic changes and clarifying the biological functions of RSS in plant systems. Fluorescent analysis based on organic small-molecule fluorescent probes is an effective and specific approach to tracking plant RSS characteristics. This perspective summarizes the recent progress regarding organic small-molecule fluorescent probes for RSS monitoring, including small-molecule biological thiols, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfane sulfurs, in plants; it also discusses their response mechanism toward RSS and their imaging applications in plants across the agricultural chemistry field.

Abstract
Discriminative detection of biothiols (Cysteine, homocysteine and glutathione) is of great significance to clarificate their complex physiological processes, the occurrence and development of related diseases. However, similar structure and reactivity among such species pose huge challenges in developing fluorescent probes to distinguish among of them. In this work, a dual-site probe CTT reacted with the analytes to regulate molecular conjugation through substitution-rearrangement-cyclization strategy, utilizing a multi-channel signal combination mode to realize the distinguishing detection of the three biothiols. Cell and zebrafish imaging experiments sufficiently demonstrated that CTT could semiquantify biothiols, which will provide valuable chemical tool for elucidating the complex biological functions of biothiols.

Abstract
The combination of cytotoxic amino-BODIPY dye and 2-phenyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolinone (3-HQ) derivatives into one molecule gave rise to selective activity against lymphoblastic or myeloid leukemia and the simultaneous disappearance of the cytotoxicity against normal cells. Both species' conjugation can be realized via a disulfide linker cleavable in the presence of glutathione characteristic for cancer cells. The cleavage liberating the free amino-BODIPY dye and 3-HQ derivative can be monitored by ratiometric fluorescence or by the OFF-ON effect of the amino-BODIPY dye. A similar cytotoxic activity is observed when the amino-BODIPY dye and 3-HQ derivative are connected through a non-cleavable maleimide linker. The work reports the synthesis of several conjugates, the study of their cleavage inside cells, and cytotoxic screening.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) play pivotal roles in various pathological and physiological processes. There exists an intricate relevance in generation and metabolism among these substances. Although they are nucleophilic, there are still some differences in their reactivity. There are many methods to detect them by using reactive fluorescent probes, but the systematic study of their reactivity is still lacking. In our study, we designed a multiple reaction site fluorescent probe based on benzene conjugated benzopyrylium and NBD. The study revealed that besides both biothiols and hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide (SO2) can cleave the ether bond. There are two reaction forms for GSH with low reactivity: cutting the ether bond and adding the conjugated double bond of benzopyrylium. Nevertheless, Cys/Hcy with higher activity can further rearrange with NBD after cutting the ether bond. In addition, SO2 can not only cleave the ether bond, but also continue to add the conjugated double bond of benzopyrylium. The above processes lead to multicolor emission of the probe, thus realizing the characteristic analysis of different sulfides. Thus the probe can be used for the detection of sulfide in mitochondria, and further for the imaging of sulfide in cells and zebrafish. This effective analysis method will provide a broad application prospect for practical applications.

Abstract
Highly sensitive fluorescence detection of pyrophosphate ion (PPi) is in urgent demand but remains a great obstacle, ascribing to scarcity of high-performance materials with promising optical property and high affinity. Herein, we report the design and fabrication of a coumarin-based organic dye (DCCH-TPD) containing both hydrazide group and terpyridine moiety for PPi biosensing through Cu2+-induced photo-electron transfer (PET) effect and target analyte-switched competitive coordination reaction. Individual DCCH-TPD was found to be highly emissive, and displayed a turn-off response toward Cu2+ due to formation of Cu2+@DCCH-TPD and PET effect. The recognition of Cu2+@DCCH-TPD by PPi leads to generation of Cu2+@PPi complex, which greatly reduces the amount of Cu2+ coordinated with DCCH-TPD, subsequently decreasing PET effect. Significantly enhanced fluorescence is recorded and the fluorescence intensity is closely relied on PPi concentration. Thus, highly sensitive detection of PPi is achieved, and the detection limit was calculated to be 0.075 μM. Furthermore, the proposed sensor presented good selectivity, and excellent practical ability for application in arthritic fluid.

Abstract
The ratiometric detection of cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) is very challenging because of their highly similar chemical structures and properties. By introducing the phenylethynyl group into a coumarin dye as the sensing group, the ratiometric fluorescent probe CP was developed to selectively and rapidly discriminate between Cys and Hcy. With a single-wavelength excitation, the presence of Cys or Hcy induced the probe to produce distinct ratiometric fluorescence changes: from red (λmaxem = 608 nm) to blue (λmaxem = 485 nm) toward Cys and from red to mixed red/blue toward Hcy. Moreover, the probe was capable of visualizing and discriminating between intracellular Cys and Hcy in HeLa cells and zebrafish by exhibiting different ratiometric fluorescence signals.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2), cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH), which perform crucial actions in regulating the balance of human, are closely related reactive sulfur species (RSS). Moreover, SO2 is one of the most concerned air pollutants, which is easily soluble in water and forms its derivatives. Therefore, it is highly desirable to differentiate SO2 derivatives and Cys/GSH in living cells and environment. Herein, a new near-infrared (NIR) mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe, NIR-CG, which could distinguish SO2 derivatives and Cys/GSH by using multiple sets of signal patterns under single excitation was reported. NIR-CG exhibited different fluorescence signal modes to SO32- and Cys/GSH with low limit of detection (17.1 nM for SO32-, 17.3 nM for Cys and 25.9 nM for GSH). The recognition mechanisms of NIR-CG to SO32- and Cys/GSH were verified by HRMS, 1H NMR and DFT calculation. NIR-CG had good ability of mitochondrial targeted and fluorescence imaging in cells. What's more, NIR-CG showed great recovery rates (101-104%) in the determination of SO32- in actual water samples. It was worth noting that NIR-CG-based paper strip successfully realized the visual quantitative detection of SO32- and Cys/GSH by use of smartphone, which offered a novel method to develop powerful sensing platform.

Abstract
Due to the redox properties closely related to numerous physiological and pathological processes, biothiols, including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), have received considerable attention in biological science. On account of the important physiological roles of these biothiols, it is of profound significance to develop sensitive and selective detection of biothiols to understand their biological profiles. In this work, we reported an efficient fluorescent probe, PHPQ-SH, for detecting biothiols in vitro and vivo, based on the phenothiazine-HPQ skeleton, with DNBS (2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate) as the response unit. Probe PHPQ-SH exhibited brilliant sensing performances toward thiols, including a large Stokes shift (138 nm), excellent sensitivity (for GSH, LOD = 18.3 nM), remarkable fluorescence enhancement (163-fold), low cytotoxicity, rapid response (8 min), and extraordinary selectivity. Finally, the probe PHPQ-SH illustrated herein was capable of responding and visualizing biothiols in MCF-7 cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum, known to us as the ER, is the largest organelle in many kinds of eukaryotic cells and plays vital roles in maintaining the normal function of cells. Biothiols (Cys, Hcy, GSH) in secretory proteins will be modified as they enter the ER and are of great importance in balancing redox state of ER environments. In this article, we have developed the first endoplasmic reticulum-targeting fluorescent probe, ER-CP, for concurrent distinguishment of Cys, Hcy and GSH with favorable sensitivity and selectivity. ER-CP was successfully used in fluorescence imaging of Cys, Hcy and GSH in HeLa cells. In addition, ER-CP exhibited a good ER-targeting property (Pearson's correlation coefficient = 0.90).

Abstract
Fabrication of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based multifunctional sensors for various environmental pollutants represents a promising solution to the development of novel monitoring technologies. In this work, a dual responsive sensor of UiO-66-MA has been efficiently fabricated via post-modification of the UiO-66-MOF with maleic anhydride (MA), and dual detection of H2S and Cu2+ in aquatic environments has been achieved tandemly. UiO-66-MA could selectively undergo Michael addition with H2S accompanying a linear fluorescence turn-on behavior. The sensing is highly sensitive and selective, and the detection limit value of 3.3 nM represents the lowest record among all MOF-based H2S sensing researches. Moreover, an alternative sensor for Cu2+ could be further tandemly afforded after the H2S sensing. The H2S added product of UiO-66-MA/H2S exhibits selective fluorescence quenching towards Cu2+ with a detection limit as low as 2.6 nM. UiO-66-MA exhibits dual sensing functions for H2S and Cu2+ following a tandem process based on combinatorial principles of Michael addition and S-Cu coordination. Evaluation studies suggest the promising potentials of UiO-66-MA in determining the level of H2S and Cu2+ in aquatic environment, and the tandemly derived dual sensing functions demonstrate the advantages of developing multifunctional MOF sensors based on combinatorial principles.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) and reactive selenium species (RSeS) are important substances for the maintenance of physiological balance. Imbalance of RSS and RSeS is closely related to a series of human diseases, so it is considered to be an important biomarker in early diagnosis, treatment, and stage monitoring. Fast and accurate quantitative analysis of different RSS and RSeS in complex biological systems may promote the development of personalized diagnosis and treatment in the future. One way to explore the physiological function of various types of RSS and RSeS in vivo is to detect them at the molecular level, and one of the most effective methods for this is to use fluorescent probes. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions are commonly exploited as a detection mechanism for RSS and RSeS in fluorescent probes. In this review, we cover recent progress in fluorescent probes for RSS and RSeS based on SNAr reactions, and discuss their response mechanisms, properties, and applications. Benzenesulfonate, phenyl-O ether, phenyl-S ether, phenyl-Se ether, 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD), benzoate, and selenium-nitrogen bonds are all good detection groups. Moreover, based on an integration of different reports, we propose the design and synthesis of RSS- and RSeS-selective probes based on SNAr reactions, current challenges, and future research directions, considering the selection of active sites, the effect of substituents on the benzene ring, and the introduction of other functional groups.

Abstract
A new acylhydrazine-derived Schiff base fluorescence probe DMI based on "ON-OFF-ON" fluorescence strategy was presented in this paper. Probe DMI could detect Cu2+ selectively and sensitively with dramatic fluorescence quenching in CH3OH-PBS (v/v = 3:7) mixed solution. Once the complex DMI-Cu2+ interacted with S2-, 10.67-folds fluorescence increase was induced via a displacement mechanism under the same experimental conditions. The corresponding detection limits for Cu2+ and S2- were calculated to be 1.52 × 10-8 M and 1.79 × 10-8 M, respectively. The structures of DMI and DMI-Cu2+ were systematically characterized by Job's plot analysis, ESI-MS, IR, X-ray diffraction and density functional theory calculations. Furthermore, fluorescence imaging in MCF-7 cells and zebrafish demonstrated the probe DMI could act as a useful tool to monitor and track intracellular Cu2+ and S2-, which was encouraged by remarkable fluorescence performance and low cytotoxicity. Importantly, the complex DMI-Cu2+ could be applied to detect corrupt blood samples, which could estimate the time of death.

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 fluorescence imaging technique has attracted increasing attention in the detection of various biological molecules in situ and in real-time owing to its inherent advantages including high selectivity and sensitivity, outstanding spatiotemporal resolution and fast feedback. In the past few decades, a number of fluorescent probes have been developed for bioassays and imaging by exploiting different fluorophores. Among various fluorophores, resorufin exhibits a high fluorescence quantum yield, long excitation/emission wavelength and pronounced ability in both fluorescence and colorimetric analysis. This fluorophore has been widely utilized in the design of responsive probes specific for various bioactive species. In this review, we summarize the advances in the development of resorufin-based fluorescent probes for detecting various analytes, such as cations, anions, reactive (redox-active) sulfur species, small molecules and biological macromolecules. The chemical structures of probes, response mechanisms, detection limits and practical applications are investigated, which is followed by the discussion of recent challenges and future research perspectives. This review article is expected to promote the further development of resorufin-based responsive fluorescent probes and their biological applications.

Abstract
A new colorimetric and fluorescence probe NRSH based on Nile-red chromophore for the detection of biothiols has been developed, exhibiting high selectivity towards biothiols over other interfering species. NRSH shows a blue shift in absorption peak upon reacting with biothiols, from 587 nm to 567 nm, which induces an obvious color change from blue to pink and exhibits a 35-fold fluorescence enhancement at 645 nm in red emission range. NRSH displays rapid (<1 min) response for H2S, which is faster than other biothiols (>5 min). The detection limits of probe NRSH towards biothiols are very low (22.05 nM for H2S, 34.04 nM for Cys, 107.28 nM for GSH and 113.65 nM for Hcy). Furthermore, NRSH is low cytotoxic and can be successfully applied as a bioimaging tool for real-time monitoring biothiols in HeLa cells. In addition, fluorescence mechanism of probe NRSH is further understood by theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH), an extremely important antioxidant, is a major participant in maintaining redox homeostasis and tightly associated with various clinical diseases. Thus, accurate and rapid detection of intracellular GSH is imperative to elucidate its role in physiological and pathological processes. Herein, by modifying 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) scaffold, we developed an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT)-based fluorescent probe BTFMD for tracking GSH, which exhibited good selectivity, excellent water solubility, a large Stokes shift (181 nm) and fast response rate (within 10 min). Furthermore, the probe was successfully applied for imaging of endogenous GSH in live cells and zebrafish, and probing into the role of GSH in the development of cancer and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Developing a ratiometric H2S fluorescent probe with fast response is of great importance for studying the H2S physiology. Herein, two hemicyanine-based H2S probes were constructed; the one with a propanoic acid group (CouPa) showed poor sensitivity while the other one with the N,N-diethylpropionamide moiety (CouDE) exhibited distinctly improved performance. CouDE showed the ability to detect mitochondrial H2S level fluctuation, which was triggered by alteration of CBS enzyme activity. Moreover, endogenous H2S change in solid tumours was monitored using CouDE.

Abstract
Although biothiols, including cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH), and homocysteine (Hcy) can be used to diagnose many diseases and research physiological metabolism in many physiological processes, in situ real-time detection and differentiation of biothiols is still challenging because their similar chemical properties and molecular structures. Herein, we utilized the native chemical ligation (NCL) reaction mechanism to develop a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy for designing a cell penetration peptide TAT-modified ratiometric two-photon biothiols probe (TAT-probe). The TAT-probe can not only rapidly enter into mitochondria assisted by TAT peptide, but also simultaneously detect biothiols and sequentially distinguish GSH. When the TAT-probe was excited with 404/820 nm wavelength light, it showed a change in the ratio of fluorescence after adding biothiols, including a quenched red fluorescence intensity (λem = 585 nm) and an enhanced signal in green fluorescence intensity (λem = 520 nm). Excitingly, the TAT-probe excited at 545 nm could display a red fluorescence (λem = 585 nm) towards GSH and a quenched signal towards Hcy or Cys. This specific fluorescence response indicated the TAT-probe could effectively detect biothiols and differentiate GSH from Cys/Hcy in mitochondria. This work pioneered a new approach to design and synthesize biothiol-probes based on peptides and NCL reaction mechanism.

Abstract
The development of fluorescent probes enabling distinguishable detection Cys, Hcy, GSH and H2S is still a considerable challenge owing to their similar functional group with comparable reactivity. In this work, a novel fluorescent probe FHC-O-NBD has been synthesized, and a practicable strategy for the fluorescence discrimination of Cys/Hcy and GSH/H2S, especially the colorimetric detection for H2S have been presented. FHC-O-NBD reacted with Cys/Hcy to produce two fluorescent emissions at 486 nm and 550 nm, while for GSH/H2S, only one fluorescent signal at 486 nm appeared. And, only upon addition of H2S, the color of the system changed from colorless to pink. So it can serve as a colorimetric probe for H2S by "naked eye". Furthermore, FHC-O-NBD can selectively distinguish Cys/Hcy and GSH/H2S in living cells, meaning it has great potential in biological applications.
