Abstract
The widespread adoption of small-molecule fluorescence detection methodologies in scientific research and industrial contexts can be ascribed to their inherent merits, including elevated sensitivity, exceptional selectivity, real-time detection capabilities, and non-destructive characteristics. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on small-molecule fluorescent probes engineered with sulfur elements, aiming to detect a diverse array of biologically active species. This review presents a comprehensive survey of sulfur-based fluorescent probes published from 2017 to 2023. The diverse repertoire of recognition sites, including but not limited to N, N-dimethylthiocarbamyl, disulfides, thioether, sulfonyls and sulfoxides, thiourea, thioester, thioacetal and thioketal, sulfhydryl, phenothiazine, thioamide, and others, inherent in these sulfur-based probes markedly amplifies their capacity for detecting a broad spectrum of analytes, such as metal ions, reactive oxygen species, reactive sulfur species, reactive nitrogen species, proteins, and beyond. Owing to the individual disparities in the molecular structures of the probes, analogous recognition units may be employed to discern diverse substrates. Subsequent to this classification, the review provides a concise summary and introduction to the design and biological applications of these probe molecules. Lastly, drawing upon a synthesis of published works, the review engages in a discussion regarding the merits and drawbacks of these fluorescent probes, offering guidance for future endeavors.

Abstract
Hydrogen persulfide (H2S2) is an important sulfur-containing signaling molecule that plays a crucial role in the homeostasis of various organ systems, such as the renal, cardiovascular, liver, and gastrointestinal systems. However, research on H2S2 in biological settings is still challenging due to its instability and high reactivity. Compounds that can controllably release H2S2 (also known as donors) are thus crucial research tools. Currently, available H2S2 donors are still very limited, with most of them relying on modified disulfide templates. These templates possess an unavoidable limitation of being susceptible to cellular disulfide exchange which can compromise their efficacy. In this work, we explored nondisulfide-based and nonoxidation-dependent templates for the design of H2S2 donors. We found that tertiary naphthacyl thiols could undergo phototriggered C-S homolytic cleavage to form H2S2 via hydrosulfide (HS) radicals. In addition, the release of H2S2 was associated with the formation of a product with strong blue fluorescence, which allowed for real-time monitoring of the release process. This reaction was demonstrated to proceed effectively in both buffers and cells, with the ability to enhance intracellular production of persulfides, including GSSH, CysSSH, H2S2, H2S3, etc. It provides a unique photocontrolled H2S2 donor system with distinct advantages compared to known H2S2 donors due to its good stability and spatiotemporal control ability.

Abstract
Gasotransmitter-mediated cysteine post-translational modifications, including S-nitrosylation (SNO) and S-persulfidation (SSH), play crucial roles and interact in various biological processes. However, there has been a delay in appreciating the interactional rules between SNO and SSH. Here, all human S-nitrosylated and S-persulfidated proteomic data were curated, and comprehensive analyses from multiple perspectives, including sequence, structure, function, and exact protein impacts (e.g., up-/down-regulation), were performed. Although these two modifications collectively regulated a wide array of proteins to jointly maintain redox homeostasis, they also exhibited intriguing differences. First, SNO tended to be more accessible and functionally clustered in pathways associated with cell damage repair and other protein modifications, such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Second, SSH preferentially targeted cysteines in disulfide bonds and modulated tissue development and immune-related pathways. Finally, regardless of whether SNO and SSH occupied the same position of a given protein, their combined effect tended to be suppressive when acting synergistically; otherwise, SNO likely inhibited while SSH activated the target protein. Indeed, a side-by-side comparison of SNO and SSH shed light on their globally reciprocal effects and provided a reference for further research on gasotransmitter-mediated biological effects.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn) have emerged as critical physiological mediators that are closely associated with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling. H2Sn exhibit greater nucleophilicity than H2S while also having electrophilic characteristics, enabling unique activities such as protein S-persulfidation. Despite their physiological importance, mechanisms and reactivities of H2Sn remain inadequately explored due to their inherent instability in aqueous environments. Consequently, there is a need to develop biocompatible methods for controlled H2Sn generation to elucidate their behaviors in biological contexts. Herein, we present a dual enzyme system (containing glucose oxidase (GOx) and chloroperoxidase (CPO)) with thioglucose as the substrate to facilitate the controlled release of H2Sn. Fluorescence measurements with SSP4 and the trapping studies allowed us to confirm the production of H2Sn. Such a method may be useful in elucidating the reactivity of hydrogen polysulfides in biological systems as well as provide a potential delivery of H2Sn to target sites for biological applications.

Abstract
A comparative bioinspired reactivity study of new binuclear Zn(II) complexes featuring coordinated thiolate, selenolate, trisulfide and diselenide in relation with (i) the generation of reactive sulfur/selenium species (RSS/RSeS), (ii) the oxygen dependent oxidation and disproportionation of polysulfide (Sn2-) to produce sulfite (SO32-), thiosulfate (S2O32-) and sulfide (S2-) by sulfur oxygenase reductase (SOR), and (iii) the reaction of Sn2- with nitrite (NO2-) to generate thionitrite (SNO-), perthionitrite (SSNO-) and nitric oxide (NO), is presented. The binuclear Zn(II)-thiolate/selenolate complexes could react with elemental sulfur to generate RSS/RSeS while similar reactions involving elemental selenium could not generate RSeS. The dizinc(II)-S3 and the dizinc(II)-Se2 complexes could react with dioxygen (O2) to generate binuclear Zn(II) complexes featuring coordinated thiosulfate (S2O32-) and selenite (SeO32-), respectively. Finally, unlike the nonreactive nature of the dizinc(II)-Se2 complex toward NO2-, reaction of the dizinc(II)-S3 complex with NO2- produced a new binuclear Zn(II) complex featuring a coordinated dithiosulfite (S3O2-) along with the formation of perthionitrite (SSNO-), of which the latter subsequently produced nitric oxide (NO) and S42-. The present work, thus, demonstrates the comparative reactivity of a series of binuclear Zn(II)-chalcogenolato/-polychalcogenido complexes for the generation of S2O32-, SeO32-, S3O2-, SSNO-, NO and RSS/RSeS.

Abstract
The intriguing chemistry of chalcogen (S, Se)-containing ligands and their capability to bridge multiple metal centres have resulted in a plethora of reports on transition metal complexes featuring hydrosulfide (HS-) and polychalcogenides (En2-, E = S, Se). While a large number of such molecules are strictly organometallic complexes, examples of non-organometallic complexes featuring HS- and En2- with N-/O-donor ligands are relatively rare. The general synthetic procedure for the transition metal-hydrosulfido complexes involves the reaction of the corresponding metal salts with HS-/H2S and this is prone to generate sulfido bridged oligomers in the absence of sterically demanding ligands. On the other hand, the synthetic methods for the preparation of transition metal-polychalcogenido complexes include the reaction of the corresponding metal salts with En2- or the two electron oxidation of low-valent metals with elemental chalcogen, often at an elevated temperature and/or for a long time. Recently, we have developed new synthetic methods for the preparation of two new classes of binuclear transition metal complexes featuring either HS-, or Sn2- and Sen2- ligands. The new method for the synthesis of transition metal-hydrosulfido complexes involved transition metal-mediated hydrolysis of thiolates at room temperature (RT), while the method for the synthesis of transition metal-polychalcogenido complexes involved redox reaction of coordinated thiolates and exogenous elemental chalcogens at RT. An overview of the synthetic aspects, structural properties and intriguing reactivity of these two new classes of transition metal complexes is presented.

Abstract
(Per)thionitrite (SNO- /SSNO- ) intermediates play vital roles in modulating nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) dependent bio-signalling processes. Whilst the previous preparations of such intermediates involved reactive H2 S/HS- or sulfane sulfur (S0 ) species, the present report reveals that relatively stable thiocarbonyl compounds (such as carbon disulfide (CS2 ), thiocarbamate, thioacetic acid, and thioacetate) react with nitrite anion to yield SNO- /SSNO- . For instance, the reaction of CS2 and nitrite anion (NO2 - ) under ambient condition affords CO2 and SNO- /SSNO- . A detailed investigation involving UV/Vis, FTIR, HRMS, and multinuclear NMR studies confirm the formation of SNO- /SSNO- , which are proposed to form through an initial nucleophilic attack by nitrite anion followed by a transnitrosation step. Notably, reactions of CS2 and nitrite in the presence of thiol RSH show the formation of organic polysulfides R-Sn -R, thereby illustrating that the thiocarbonyls are capable of influencing the pool of bioavailable sulfane sulfurs. Furthermore, the availability of both NO2 - and thiocarbonyl motifs in the biological context hints at their synergistic metal-free activations leading to the generation of NO gas and various reactive sulfur species via SNO- /SSNO- .

Abstract
Significance: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is considered to be a gasotransmitter along with carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO), and is known as a key regulator of physiological and pathological activities. S-sulfhydration (also known as persulfidation), a mechanism involving the formation of protein persulfides by modification of cysteine residues, is proposed here to explain the multiple biological functions of H2S. Investigating the properties of protein persulfides can provide a foundation for further understanding of the potential functions of H2S. Recent Advances: Multiple methods have been developed to determine the level of protein persulfides. It has been demonstrated that protein persulfidation is involved in many biological processes through various mechanisms including the regulation of ion channels, enzymes, and transcription factors, as well as influencing protein-protein interactions. Critical Issues: Some technical and theoretical questions remain to be solved. These include how to improve the specificity of the detection methods for protein persulfidation, why persulfidation typically occurs on one or a few thiols within a protein, how this modification alters protein functions, and whether protein persulfidation has organ-specific patterns. Future Directions: Optimizing the detection methods and elucidating the properties and molecular functions of protein persulfidation would be beneficial for current therapeutics. In this review, we introduce the detailed mechanism of the persulfidation process and discuss persulfidation detection methods. In addition, this review summarizes recent discoveries of the selectivity of protein persulfidation and the regulation of protein functions and cell signaling pathways by persulfidation. Antioxid.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (• NO) interactions with biological thiols play crucial, but incompletely determined, roles in vascular signalling and other biological processes. Here, we highlight two recently proposed signalling paradigms: (1) the formation of a vasodilating labile nitrosyl ferrous haem (NO-ferrohaem) facilitated by thiols via thiyl radical generation and (2) polysulfides/persulfides and their interaction with • NO. We also describe the specific (bio)chemical routes in which • NO and thiols react to form S-nitrosothiols, a broad class of small molecules, and protein post-translational modifications that can influence protein function through catalytic site or allosteric structural changes. S-Nitrosothiol formation depends upon cellular conditions, but critically, an appropriate oxidant for either the thiol (yielding a thiyl radical) or • NO (yielding a nitrosonium [NO+ ]-donating species) is required. We examine the roles of these collective • NO/thiol species in vascular signalling and their cardiovascular therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Nitrite-to-NO transformation is of prime importance due to its relevance in mammalian physiology. Although such a one-electron reductive transformation at various redox-active metal sites (e.g., Cu and Fe) has been illustrated previously, the reaction at the [ZnII] site in the presence of a sacrificial reductant like thiol has been reported to be sluggish and poorly understood. Reactivity of [(Bn3Tren)ZnII-ONO](ClO4) (1), a nitrite-bound model of the tripodal active site of carbonic anhydrase (CA), toward various organic probes, such as 4-tert-butylbenzylthiol (tBuBnSH), 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP), and 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (F-DNB), reveals that the ONO-moiety in the [ZnII]-nitrite coordination motif of complex 1 acts as a mild electrophile. tBuBnSH reacts mildly with nitrite at a [ZnII] site to provide S-nitrosothiol tBuBnSNO prior to the release of NO in 10% yield, whereas the phenolic substrate 2,4-DTBP does not yield the analogous O-nitrite compound (ArONO). The presence of sulfane sulfur (S0) species such as elemental sulfur (S8) and organic polysulfides (tBuBnSnBntBu) during the reaction of tBuBnSH and [ZnII]-nitrite (1) assists the nitrite-to-NO conversion to provide NO yields of 65% (for S8) and 76% (for tBuBnSnBntBu). High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) analyses on the reaction of [ZnII]-nitrite (1), tBuBnSH, and S8 depict the formation of zinc(II)-persulfide species [(Bn3Tren)ZnII-Sn-BntBu]+ (where n = 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6). Trapping of the persulfide species (tBuBnSS-) with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (F-DNB) confirms its intermediacy. The significantly higher nucleophilicity of persulfide species (relative to thiol/thiolate) is proposed to facilitate the reaction with the mildly electrophilic [ZnII]-nitrite (1) complex. Complementary analyses, including multinuclear NMR, electrospray ionization-MS, UV-vis, and trapping of reactive S-species, provide mechanistic insights into the sulfane sulfur-assisted reactions between thiol and nitrite at the tripodal [ZnII]-site. These findings suggest the critical influential roles of various reactive sulfur species, such as sulfane sulfur and persulfides, in the nitrite-to-NO conversion.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) is an important gaseous signalling molecule known to be critically involved in regulating cellular redox homeostasis. As the beneficial and therapeutic effects of H2 S in pathophysiology, such as in cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, have emerged, so too has the drive for the development of H2 S-releasing compounds (aka donors) and their therapeutic applications. Most reported donor compounds singularly release H2 S through biocompatible triggers. An emerging area in the field is the development of compounds that can co-deliver H2 S with other drugs or biologically relevant species, such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS, respectively). These H2 S-based dual donors and hybrid drugs are expected to offset negative side effects from individual treatments or achieve synergistic effects rendering them more clinically effective. Additionally, considering that molecules exist and interact physiologically, dual donors may more accurately mimic biological systems as compared to single donors and allow for the elucidation of fundamental chemistry and biology. This review focuses on the recent advances in the development of H2 S-based dual donors and hybrid drugs along with their design principles and synergistic effects.

Abstract
Reduction of nitrate is an essential, yet challenging chemical task required to manage this relatively inert oxoanion in the environment and biology. We show that thiols, ubiquitous reductants in biology, convert nitrate to nitric oxide at a Cu(II) center under mild conditions. The β-diketiminato complex [Cl2NNF6]Cu(κ2-O2NO) engages in O-atom transfer with various thiols (RSH) to form the corresponding copper(II) nitrite [CuII](κ2-O2N) and sulfenic acid (RSOH). The copper(II) nitrite further reacts with RSH to give S-nitrosothiols RSNO and [CuII]2(μ-OH)2 en route to NO formation via [CuII]-SR intermediates. The gasotransmitter H2S also reduces nitrate at copper(II) to generate NO, providing a lens into NO3-/H2S crosstalk. The interaction of thiols with nitrate at copper(II) releases a cascade of N- and S-based signaling molecules in biology.

Abstract
Sulfur is not only one of the most abundant elements on the Earth, but it is also essential to all living organisms. As life likely began and evolved in a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-rich environment, sulfur metabolism represents an early form of energy generation via various reactions in prokaryotes and has driven the sulfur biogeochemical cycle since. It has long been known that H2S is toxic to cells at high concentrations, but now this gaseous molecule, at the physiological level, is recognized as a signaling molecule and a regulator of critical biological processes. Recently, many metabolites of H2S, collectively called reactive sulfur species (RSS), have been gradually appreciated as having similar or divergent regulatory roles compared with H2S in living organisms, especially mammals. In prokaryotes, even in bacteria, investigations into generation and physiology of RSS remain preliminary and an understanding of the relevant biological processes is still in its infancy. Despite this, recent and exciting advances in the fields are many. Here, we discuss abiotic and biotic generation of H2S/RSS, sulfur-transforming enzymes and their functioning mechanisms, and their physiological roles as well as the sensing and regulation of H2S/RSS.

Abstract
![]()
The novel nitrosyl-bridged
complex [W2Cp2(μ-PtBu2)(μ-κ:η-NO)(CO)(NO)](BAr4) [Ar = 3,5-C6H3(CF3)2] was prepared in a multistep procedure starting from the
hydride [W2Cp2(μ-H)(μ-PtBu2)(CO)4] and involving the
new complexes [W2Cp2(μ-PtBu2)(CO)4](BF4), [W2Cp2(μ-PtBu2)(CO)2(NO)2](BAr4), and [W2(μ-κ:η5-C5H4)Cp(μ-PtBu2)(CO)(NO)2] as intermediates,
which follow from reactions with HBF4·OEt2, NO, and Me3NO·2H2O, respectively. The
nitrosyl-bridged cation easily added chloride upon reaction with [N(PPh3)2]Cl, with concomitant NO rearrangement into the
terminal coordination mode, to give [W2ClCp2(μ-PtBu2)(CO)(NO)2], and underwent N–O and W–W bond cleavages
upon the addition of CNtBu to give the
mononuclear phosphinoimido complex [WCp(NPtBu2)(CNtBu)2](BAr4). Another N–O bond cleavage was induced upon photochemical
decarbonylation at 243 K, which gave the oxo- and phosphinito-bridged
nitrido complex [W2Cp2(N)(μ-O)(μ-OPtBu2)(NO)](BAr4), likely
resulting from a N–O bond cleavage step following decarbonylation. The π binding of the NO ligand in the cation
[W2Cp2(μ-PtBu2)(μ-κ:η-NO)(CO)(NO)]+ facilitates
the addition of ligands with concomitant rearrangement of the bridging
nitrosyl into the terminal coordination mode and also facilitates
cleavage of the N−O bond of that ligand at low temperature
possibly in two different ways: either through the oxidative addition
of this ligand to the dimetal center or through deoxygenation by another
ligand.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a widely distributed gaseous signaling molecule in plants that can be synthesized through enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways and plays an important role in plant growth and development, signal transduction, and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal pollutant widely found in the environment, which not only inhibits plant growth but also enters humans through the food chain and endangers human health. To reduce or avoid the adverse effects of Cd stress, plants have evolved a range of coping mechanisms. Many studies have shown that NO is also involved in the plant response to Cd stress and plays an important role in regulating the resistance of plants to Cd stress. However, until now, the mechanisms by which Cd stress regulates the level of endogenous NO accumulation in plant cells remained unclear, and the role of exogenous NO in plant responses to Cd stress is controversial. This review describes the pathways of NO production in plants, the changes in endogenous NO levels in plants under Cd stress, and the effects of exogenous NO on regulating plant resistance to Cd stress.

Abstract
Thionitrous acid (HSNO), a crosstalk intermediate of two crucial gasotransmitters nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, plays a critical role in redox regulation of cellular signaling and functions. However, real-time and facile detection of HSNO with high selectivity and sensitivity remains highly challenging. Herein we report a novel fluorescent probe (SNP-1) for HSNO detection. SNP-1 has a simple molecular structure, but showing strong fluorescence, a low detection limit, a broad linear detection range (from nanomolar to micromolar concentrations), ultrasensitivity, and high selectivity for HSNO in both aqueous media and cells. Benefiting from these unique features, SNP-1 could effectively visualize changes of HSNO levels in mouse models of acute ulcerative colitis and renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Moreover, the good correlation between colonic HSNO levels and disease activity index demonstrated that HSNO is a promising new diagnostic agent for acute ulcerative colitis. Therefore, SNP-1 can serve as a useful fluorescent probe for precision detection of HSNO in various biological systems, thereby facilitating mechanistic studies, therapeutic assessment, and high-content drug screening for corresponding diseases. HSNO was the preferred intermediate to study crosstalk between H2S and NO. HSNO displayed translational potential for diagnosis and assessment of diseases. SNP-1 displayed excellent fluorescence performance for HSNO detection. SNP-1 could effectively image HSNO in cells and mouse models.

Abstract
H2S belongs to the class of molecules known as gasotransmitters, which also includes nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Three enzymes are recognized as endogenous sources of H2S in various cells and tissues: cystathionine g-lyase (CSE), cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST). The current article reviews the regulation of these enzymes as well as the pathways of their enzymatic and non-enzymatic degradation and elimination. The multiple interactions of H2S with other labile endogenous molecules (e.g. NO) and reactive oxygen species are also outlined. The various biological targets and signaling pathways are discussed, with special reference to H2S and oxidative posttranscriptional modification of proteins, the effect of H2S on channels and intracellular second messenger pathways, the regulation of gene transcription and translation and the regulation of cellular bioenergetics and metabolism. The pharmacological and molecular tools currently available to study H2S physiology are also reviewed, including their utility and limitations. In subsequent sections, the role of H2S in the regulation of various physiological and cellular functions is reviewed. The physiological role of H2S in various cell types and organ systems are overviewed. Finally, the role of H2S in the regulation of various organ functions is discussed as well as the characteristic bell-shaped biphasic effects of H2S. In addition, key pathophysiological aspects, debated areas, and future research and translational areas are identified A wide array of significant roles of H2S in the physiological regulation of all organ functions emerges from this review.

Abstract
The allosteric transition within tetrameric hemoglobin (Hb) that allows both full binding to four oxygen molecules in the lung and full release of four oxygens in hypoxic tissues would earn Hb the moniker of 'honorary enzyme'. However, the allosteric model for oxygen binding in hemoglobin overlooked the essential role of blood flow in tissue oxygenation that is essential for life (aka autoregulation of blood flow). That is, blood flow, not oxygen content of blood, is the principal determinant of oxygen delivery under most conditions. With the discovery that hemoglobin carries a third biologic gas, nitric oxide (NO) in the form of S-nitrosothiol (SNO) at β-globin Cys93 (βCys93), and that formation and export of SNO to dilate blood vessels are linked to hemoglobin allostery through enzymatic activity, this title is honorary no more. This chapter reviews evidence that hemoglobin formation and release of SNO is a critical mediator of hypoxic autoregulation of blood flow in tissues leading to oxygen delivery, considers the physiological implications of a 3-gas respiratory cycle (O2/NO/CO2) and the pathophysiological consequences of its dysfunction. Opportunities for therapeutic intervention to optimize oxygen delivery at the level of tissue blood flow are highlighted.

Abstract
Various recent studies dedicated to the role of nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in somatic cells provide evidence for an interaction of the two gasotransmitters. In the case of male gametes, only the action of a single donor of each gasotransmitter has been investigated up until today. It has been demonstrated that, at low concentrations, both gasotransmitters alone exert a positive effect on sperm quality parameters. Moreover, the activity of gaseous cellular messengers may be affected by the presence of oxidative stress, an underlying condition of several male reproductive disorders. In this study, we explored the effect of the combination of two donors SNP and NaHS (NO and H2S donors, respectively) on boar spermatozoa under oxidative stress. We applied NaHS, SNP, and their combination (DD) at 100 nM concentration in boar spermatozoa samples treated with Fe2+/ascorbate system. After 90 min of incubation at 38 °C, we have observed that progressive motility (PMot) and plasma membrane integrity (PMI) were improved (p < 0.05) in DD treatment compared to the Ctr sample under oxidative stress (CtrOX). Moreover, the PMot of DD treatment was higher (p < 0.05) than that of NaHS. Similar to NaHS, SNP treatment did not overcome the PMot and PMI of CtrOX. In conclusion, for the first time, we provide evidence that the combination of SNP and NaHS surmounts the effect of single-donor application in terms of PMot and PMI in porcine spermatozoa under oxidative stress.

Abstract
Significance: Reactive sulfur and nitrogen species such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO•) are ubiquitous cellular signaling molecules that play central roles in physiology and pathophysiology. A deeper understanding of these signaling pathways will offer new opportunities for therapeutic treatments and disease management. Recent Advances: Chemiluminescence methods have been fundamental in detecting and measuring biological reactive sulfur and nitrogen species, and new approaches are emerging for imaging these analytes in living intact specimens. Ozone-based and luminol-based chemiluminescence methods have been optimized for quantitative analysis of hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide in biological samples and tissue homogenates, and caged luciferin and 1,2-dioxetanes are emerging as a versatile approach for monitoring and imaging reactive sulfur and nitrogen species in living cells and animal models. Critical Issues: This review article will cover the major chemiluminescence approaches for detecting, measuring, and imaging reactive sulfur and nitrogen species in biological systems, including a brief history of the development of the most established approaches and highlights of the opportunities provided by emerging approaches. Future Directions: Emerging chemiluminescence approaches offer new opportunities for monitoring and imaging reactive sulfur and nitrogen species in living cells, animals, and human clinical samples. Widespread adoption and translation of these approaches, however, requires an emphasis on rigorous quantitative methods, reproducibility, and effective technology transfer. Antioxid.

Abstract
In the past decade, gasotransmitters NO• and H2S have been thoroughly studied in biological contexts, as their biosynthesis and physiological effects became known. Moreover, an additional intricate crosstalk reaction scheme between these compounds and related species is thought to exist as part of the cascade signaling processes in physiological conditions. In this context, heme enzymes, as modeled by iron porphyrins, play a central role in catalyzing the key interconversions involved. In this work, iron porphyrin interactions with sulfide and nitric-oxide-related species are described. The stability and reactivity of mixed ternary systems are also described, and future perspectives are discussed.

Significance: Redox pioneer Helmut Sies attempted to explain reactive species' challenges faced by organelles, cells, tissues, and organs via three complementary definitions: (i) oxidative stress, that is, the disturbance in the prooxidant-antioxidant defense balance in favor of the prooxidants; (ii) oxidative eustress, the low physiological exposure to prooxidants; and (iii) oxidative distress, the supraphysiological exposure to prooxidants. Recent Advances: Identification, concentration, and interactions are the most important elements to improve our understanding of reactive species in physiology and pathology. In this context, the reactive species interactome (RSI) is a new multilevel redox regulatory system that identifies reactive species families, reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species, and it integrates their interactions with their downstream biological targets. Critical Issues: We propose a united view to fully combine reactive species identification, oxidative eustress and distress, and the RSI system. In this view, we also propose including the forgotten reactive carbonyl species, an increasingly rediscovered reactive species family related to the other reactive families, and key enzymes within the RSI. We focus on brain physiology and pathology to demonstrate why this united view should be considered. Future Directions: More studies are needed for an improved understanding of the contributions of reactive species through their identification, concentration, and interactions, including in the brain. Appreciating the RSI in its entirety should unveil new molecular players and mechanisms in physiology and pathology in the brain and elsewhere.

Abstract
Flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases (FNORs) protect microbes from nitrosative stress under anaerobic conditions by mediating the reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O). The proposed mechanism for the catalytic reduction of NO by FNORs involves a dinitrosyldiiron intermediate with a [hs-{FeNO}7]2 formulation, which produces N2O and a diferric species. Moreover, both NO and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been implicated in several similar physiological functions in biology and are also known to cross paths in cell signaling. Here we report the synthesis, spectroscopic and theoretical characterization, and N2O production activity of an unprecedented monohydrosulfidodinitrosyldiiron compound, with a [(HS)hs-{FeNO}7/hs-{FeNO}7] formulation, that models the key dinitrosyl intermediate of FNORs. The generation of N2O from this unique compound follows a semireduced pathway, where one-electron reduction generates a reactive hs-{FeNO}8 center via the occupation of an Fe-NO antibonding orbital. In contrast to the well-known reactivity of H2S and NO, the coordinated hydrosulfide remains unreactive toward NO and acts only as a spectator ligand during the NO reduction process.

Abstract
The advancement of Ru(edta) complexes (edta4- = ethylenediamineteraacetate) mediated reactions, including NO generation and its utilization, has not been systematically reviewed to date. This review aims to report the research progress that has been made in exploring the application of Ru(edta) complexes in trapping and generation of NO. Furthermore, utilization of the potential of Ru(edta) complexes to mimic NO synthase and nitrite reductase activity, including thermodynamics and kinetics of NO binding to Ru(edta) complexes, their NO scavenging (in vitro), and antitumor activity will be discussed. Also, the role of [Ru(edta)(NO)] in mediating electrochemical reduction of nitrite, S-nitrosylation of biological thiols, and cross-talk between NO and H2S, will be covered. Reports on the NO-related chemistry of Fe(edta) complexes showing similar behavior are contextualized in this review for comparison purposes. The research contributions compiled herein will provide in-depth mechanistic knowledge for understanding the diverse routes pertaining to the formation of the [Ru(edta)(NO)] species, and its role in effecting the aforementioned reactions of biochemical significance.

Abstract
NO and H2 S serve as signaling molecules in biology with intertwined reactivity. HSNO and HSSNO with their conjugate bases - SNO and - SSNO form in the reaction of H2 S with NO as well as S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) and nitrite (NO2- ) that serve as NO reservoirs. While HSNO and HSSNO are elusive, their conjugate bases form isolable zinc complexes Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) and Ph,Me TpZn(SSNO) supported by tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands. Reaction of Na(15-C-5)SSNO with Ph,Me TpZn(ClO4 ) provides Ph,Me TpZn(SSNO) that undergoes S-atom removal by PEt3 to give Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) and S=PEt3 . Unexpectedly stable at room temperature, these Zn-SNO and Zn-SSNO complexes release NO upon heating. Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) and Ph,Me TpZn(SSNO) quickly react with acidic thiols such as C6 F5 SH to form N2 O and NO, respectively. Increasing the thiol basicity in p-substituted aromatic thiols 4-X ArSH in the reaction with Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) turns on competing S-nitrosation to form Ph,Me TpZn-SH and RSNO, the latter a known precursor for NO.

Abstract
HNO (nitroxyl, azanone), joined the 'biologically relevant reactive nitrogen species' family in the 2000s. Azanone is impossible to store due to its high reactivity and inherent low stability. Consequently, its chemistry and effects are studied using donor compounds, which release this molecule in solution and in the gas phase upon stimulation. Researchers have also tried to stabilize this elusive species and its conjugate base by coordination to metal centers using several ligands, like metalloporphyrins and pincer ligands. Given HNO's high reactivity and short lifetime, several different strategies have been proposed for its detection in chemical and biological systems, such as colorimetric methods, EPR, HPLC, mass spectrometry, fluorescent probes, and electrochemical analysis. These approaches are described and critically compared. Finally, in the last ten years, several advances regarding the possibility of endogenous HNO generation were made; some of them are also revised in the present work.

Abstract
Reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O) is associated with immense biological and health implications. Flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases (FNORs) are diiron containing enzymes that catalyze the two electron reduction of NO to N2O and help certain pathogenic bacteria to survive under "nitrosative stress" in anaerobic growth conditions. Consequently, invading bacteria can proliferate inside the body of mammals by bypassing the immune defense mechanism involving NO and may thus lead to harmful infections. Various mechanisms, namely the direct reduction, semireduction, superreduction and hyponitrite mechanisms, have been proposed over time for catalytic NO reduction by FNORs. Model studies in relation to the diiron active site of FNORs have immensely helped to replicate the minimal structure-reactivity relationship and to understand the mechanism of NO reduction. A brief overview of the FNOR activity and the proposed reaction mechanisms followed by a systematic description and detailed analysis of the model studies is presented, which describes the development in the area of NO reduction by diiron complexes and its implications. A great deal of successful modeling chemistry as well as the shortcomings related to the synthesis and reactivity studies is discussed in detail. Finally, future prospects in this particular area of research are proposed, which in due course may bring more clarity in the understanding of this important redox reaction.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulphide (H2 S) is an endogenously produced gasotransmitter that has rapidly emerged as an active signalling component of several plant processes, stomatal movement regulation among them. The guard cells (GCs), pairs of cells that neighbour the stomatal pores, transduce endogenous and environmental signals, through signalling network, to control stomatal pore size. In this complex network, which has become a model system for plant signalling, few highly connected components form a core that links most of the pathways. The evidence summarized in this insight, on the interplay between H2 S and different key components of the GC networks, points towards H2 S as a regulator of the GC core signalling pathway.

Abstract
Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the biochemical properties of nitrosopersulfide (SSNO-), a key intermediate of the nitric oxide (NO)/sulfide cross talk. Results: We obtained corroborating evidence that SSNO- is indeed a major product of the reaction of S-nitrosothiols with hydrogen sulfide (H2S). It was found to be relatively stable (t1/2 ∼1 h at room temperature) in aqueous solution of physiological pH, stabilized by the presence of excess sulfide and resistant toward reduction by other thiols. Furthermore, we here show that SSNO- escapes the reducing power of the NADPH-driven biological reducing machineries, the thioredoxin and glutathione reductase systems. The slow decomposition of SSNO- produces inorganic polysulfide species, which effectively induce per/polysulfidation on glutathione or protein cysteine (Cys) residues. Our data also demonstrate that, in contrast to the transient activation by inorganic polysulfides, SSNO- induces long-term potentiation of TRPA1 (transient receptor potential ankyrin 1) channels, which may be due to its propensity to generate a slow flux of polysulfide in situ. Innovation: The characterized properties of SSNO- would seem to represent unique features in cell signaling by enabling sulfur and nitrogen trafficking within the reducing environment of the cytosol, with targeted release of both NO and polysulfide equivalents. Conclusion: SSNO- is a surprisingly stable bioactive product of the chemical interaction of S-nitrosothiol species and H2S that is resistant to reduction by the thioredoxin and glutathione systems. As well as generating NO, it releases inorganic polysulfides, enabling transfer of sulfane sulfur species to peptide/protein Cys residues. The sustained activation of TRPA1 channels by SSNO- is most likely linked to all these properties.

Abstract
Azanone (HNO/NO-), also called nitroxyl, is a highly reactive compound whose biological role is still a matter of debate. A key issue that remains to be clarified regarding HNO and its biological activity is that of its endogenous formation. Given the overlap of the molecular targets and reactivity of nitric oxide (NO•) and HNO, its chemical biology was perceived to be similar to that of NO• as a biological signaling agent. However, despite their closely related reactivity, NO• and HNO's biochemical pathways are quite different. Moreover, the reduction of nitric oxide to azanone is possible but necessarily coupled to other reactions, which drive the reaction forward, overcoming the unfavorable thermodynamic barrier. The mechanism of this NO•/HNO interplay and its downstream effects in different contexts were studied recently, showing that more than fifteen moderate reducing agents react with NO• producing HNO. Particularly, it is known that the reaction between nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) produces HNO. However, this rate constant was not reported yet. In this work, firstly the NO•/H2S effective rate constant was measured as a function of the pH. Then, the implications of these chemical (non-enzymatic), biologically compatible, routes to endogenous HNO formation was discussed. There is no doubt that HNO could be (is?) a new endogenously produced messenger that mediates specific physiological responses, many of which were attributed yet to direct NO• effects.

Abstract
For centuries, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was considered primarily as a poisonous gas and environmental hazard. However, with the discovery of prokaryotic and eukaryotic enzymes for H2S production, breakdown, and utilization, H2S has emerged as an important signaling molecule in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. Hence, H2S is considered a gasotransmitter along with nitric oxide (•NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Surprisingly, despite having overlapping functions with •NO and CO, the role of host H2S in microbial pathogenesis is understudied and represents a gap in our knowledge. Given the numerous reports that followed the discovery of •NO and CO and their respective roles in microbial pathogenesis, we anticipate a rapid increase in studies that further define the importance of H2S in microbial pathogenesis, which may lead to new virulence paradigms. Therefore, this review provides an overview of sulfide chemistry, enzymatic production of H2S, and the importance of H2S in metabolism and immunity in response to microbial pathogens. We then describe our current understanding of the role of host-derived H2S in tuberculosis (TB) disease, including its influences on host immunity and bioenergetics, and on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) growth and survival. Finally, this review discusses the utility of H2S-donor compounds, inhibitors of H2S-producing enzymes, and their potential clinical significance.

Abstract
Bacterial pathogens that cause invasive disease in the vertebrate host must adapt to host efforts to cripple their viability. Major host insults are reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species as well as cellular stress induced by antibiotics. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is emerging as an important player in cytoprotection against these stressors, which may well be attributed to downstream more oxidized sulfur species termed reactive sulfur species (RSS). In this review, we summarize recent work that suggests that H2S/RSS impacts bacterial survival in infected cells and animals. We discuss the mechanisms of biogenesis and clearance of RSS in the context of a bacterial H2S/RSS homeostasis model and the bacterial transcriptional regulatory proteins that act as "sensors" of cellular RSS that maintain H2S/RSS homeostasis. In addition, we cover fluorescence imaging- and MS-based approaches used to detect and quantify RSS in bacterial cells. Last, we discuss proteome persulfidation (S-sulfuration) as a potential mediator of H2S/RSS signaling in bacteria in the context of the writer-reader-eraser paradigm, and progress toward ascribing regulatory significance to this widespread post-translational modification.

Abstract
The pharmacological properties of nitroxyl (HNO) donors in the gastrointestinal tract are unknown. We investigated the properties of this molecule in the regulation of gastrointestinal contractility focusing on its possible interaction with other gaseous signaling molecules such as NO and H2S. Organ bath, Ca2+ imaging, and microelectrode recordings were performed on rat intestinal samples, using Angeli’s salt as HNO donor. Angeli’s salt caused a concentration-dependent relaxation of longitudinal or circular muscle strips of the ileum and the proximal colon. This relaxation was strongly inhibited by the Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632 (10 μM), by the reducing agent DTT or by the inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) ODQ (10 μM) alone or in combination with the inhibitors of the endogenous synthesis of H2S β-cyano-L-alanine (5 mM) and amino-oxyacetate (5 mM). Preventing endogenous synthesis of NO by the NO synthase inhibitor L-NAME (200 μM) did not affect the relaxation induced by HNO. HNO induced an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in colonic myocytes. It also elicited myocyte membrane hyperpolarization that amounted to −10.6 ± 1.1 mV. ODQ (10 μM) and Apamin (1 μM), a selective inhibitor of small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (SKca), strongly antagonized this effect. We conclude that HNO relaxes the gastrointestinal tract musculature by hyperpolarizing myocytes via activation of the sGC/cGMP pathway similarly to NO, not only inhibiting the RhoK and activating MLCP as do both NO and H2S but also increasing cytosolic Ca2+ for activation of SKCa contributing to hyperpolarization.

Abstract
S-Nitrosothiols (RSNOs) are ubiquitous biomolecules whose chemistry is tightly controlled in vivo, although the specific molecular mechanisms behind this biological control remain unknown. In this work, we demonstrate, using high-level ab initio and DFT calculations, the ability of RSNOs to participate in intermolecular interactions with electron pair donors/Lewis bases (LBs) via a σ-hole, a region of positive electrostatic potential on the molecular surface at the extension of the N-S bond. Importantly, σ-hole binding is able to modulate the properties of RSNOs by changing the balance between two chemically opposite (antagonistic) resonance components, R-S+[double bond, length as m-dash]N-O- (D) and R-S-/NO+ (I), which are, in addition to the main resonance structure R-S-N[double bond, length as m-dash]O, necessary to describe the unusual electronic structure of RSNOs. σ-Hole binding at the sulfur atom of RSNO promotes the resonance structure D and reduces the resonance structure I, thereby stabilizing the weak N-S bond and making the sulfur atom more electrophilic. On the other hand, increasing the D-character of RSNO by other means (e.g. via N- or O-coordination of a Lewis acid) in turn enhances the σ-hole bonding. Our calculations suggest that in the protein environment a combination of σ-hole bonding of a negatively charged amino acid sidechain at the sulfur atom and N- or O-coordination of a positively charged amino acid sidechain is expected to have a profound effect on the RSNO electronic structure and reactivity.

Abstract
After being historically considered as noxious agents, nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are now listed as gasotransmitters, gaseous molecules that play a key role in a variety of cellular functions. Both NO and H2S are endogenously produced, enzymatically or non-enzymatically, and interact with each other in a range of cells and tissues. In spite of the great advances achieved in recent decades in other biological systems, knowledge about H2S function and interactions with NO in sperm biology is in its infancy. Here, we aim to provide an update on the importance of these molecules in the physiology of the male gamete. Special emphasis is given to the most recent advances in the metabolism, mechanisms of action, and effects (both physiological and pathophysiological) of these gasotransmitters. This manuscript also illustrates the physiological implications of NO and H2S observed in other cell types, which might be important for sperm function. The relevance of these gasotransmitters to several signaling pathways within sperm cells highlights their potential use for the improvement and successful application of assisted reproductive technologies.

Abstract
The cross-linking reaction between sulfide and S-nitrosothiol moieties has been intensively investigated and thionitrite/thionitrous acid (SNO−/HSNO) as well as nitrosopersulfide (SSNO−) were reported to be the intermediates that could serve as reservoirs for nitric oxide (NO). However, debate still exists regarding the stability and biological activity of SNO−/HSNO and SSNO−. In order to investigate the chemical properties and biological activity of SNO− and SSNO−, we set out to re-characterize the reaction intermediates using UV-Vis and 15N NMR spectroscopy techniques, as well as a new 17O NMR approach. The effects of SNO− and SSNO− on cellular NO and cGMP levels were assessed via cell culture experiments, and also the effects of SNO− and SSNO− on cell proliferation, migration, and capillary-like structure formation were evaluated with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Through this work, the characteristic peaks and half-lives of SNO− and SSNO− were elucidated under various preparation conditions. The biological assays demonstrated that SSNO− increased the cellular NO and cGMP levels and also facilitated cell proliferation, migration and stimulated angiogenesis, while in contrast SNO− did not exhibit these effects. By using UV-Vis, 15N NMR and 17O NMR spectroscopy techniques, we characterized the intermediates (SSNO− and SNO−) obtained from RSNO and Na2S cross-linking reaction. We found that SSNO− could serve as NO reservoir in cell culture experiments.![]()

Abstract
Thionitrous acid (HSNO), the smallest S-nitrosothiol, is emerging as a potential key intermediate in cellular redox regulation linking two signaling molecules H2 S and NO. However, the chemical biology of HSNO remains poorly understood. A major hurdle is the lack of methods for selective detection of HSNO in biological systems. Herein, we report the rational design, synthesis, and evaluation of the first fluorescent probe TAP-1 for HSNO detection. TAP-1 showed high selectivity and sensitivity to HSNO in aqueous media and cells, providing a useful tool for understanding the functions of HSNO in biology.

Hydrogen sulfide potentiates the favorable metabolic effects of inorganic nitrite in type 2 diabetic rats. Nitric Oxide 2019; 92:60-72.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) deficiency have been linked with the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Restoration of NO levels by nitrite have been associated with favorable metabolic effects in T2D. Moreover, H2S can potentiate the effects of NO in the cardiovascular system. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of long-term co-administration of sodium nitrite and sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH) on carbohydrate metabolism in type 2 diabetic rats. METHODS T2D was induced using chronic high fat diet (HFD) feeding combined with low dose streptozotocin (STZ) regimen. Rats were divided into 5 groups (N = 10/group): Control, T2D, T2D + nitrite, T2D + NaSH, and T2D + nitrite + NaSH. Nitrite (50 mg/L in drinking water) and NaSH (0.28 mg/kg, daily i. p. injection) were administered for 9 weeks. Fasting serum glucose, insulin, lipid profile, liver function tests, and oxidative stress indices were measured. Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (GTT) was performed at the end of the eighth week, and three days later, intraperitoneal pyruvate tolerance test (PTT) was done. Protein levels and mRNA expression of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) in soleus muscle and epididymal adipose tissue as well as mRNA expression of H2S-producing enzymes in the liver, soleus muscle, and epididymal adipose tissue were measured at the end of the study. RESULTS Compared to the controls, HFD and STZ treated rats developed metabolic dysfunction. Nitrite treatment improved carbohydrate metabolism, liver function, and oxidative stress indices whereas NaSH treatment per se had no significant effects. However, co-administration of NaSH and nitrite resulted in further improvement in serum insulin level, GTT, PTT, liver function, oxidative stress, protein level and mRNA expression of GLUT4, as well as mRNA expression of H2S-producing enzymes in diabetic rats. CONCLUSION Low dose of NaSH per se had no effect on carbohydrate metabolism while it potentiated the favorable metabolic effects of inorganic nitrite in type 2 diabetic rats. These favorable effects were associated with decreased oxidative stress and increased GLUT4 expression in insulin-sensitive tissues as well as improvement of liver function.
