Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are extremely important for various biological functions. Lysosome plays key roles in cellular metabolism and has been known as the stomach of cells. The abnormalities and malfunctioning of lysosomal function are associated with many diseases. Accordingly, the quantitative monitoring and real-time imaging of ROS in lysosomes are of great interest. In recent years, with the advancement of fluorescence imaging, fluorescent ROS probes have received considerable interest in the biomedical field. Thus far, considerable efforts have been undertaken to create synthetic fluorescent probes for sensing ROS in lysosomes; however, specific review articles on this topic are still lacking. This review provides a general introduction to fluorescence imaging technology, the sensing mechanisms of fluorescent probes, lysosomes, and design strategies for lysosome-targetable fluorescent ROS probes. In addition, the latest advancements in organic small-molecule fluorescent probes for ROS detection within lysosomes are discussed. Finally, the main challenges and future perspectives for developing effective lysosome-targetable fluorescent ROS probes for biomedical applications are presented.

Abstract
Organelles perform critical biological functions due to their distinct molecular composition and internal environment. Disorders in organelles or their interacting networks have been linked to the incidence of numerous diseases, and the research of pharmacological actions at the organelle level has sparked pharmacists' interest. Currently, cell imaging has evolved into a critical tool for drug delivery, drug discovery, and pharmacological research. The introduction of advanced imaging techniques in recent years has provided researchers with richer biological information for viewing and studying the ultrastructure of organelles, protein interactions, and gene transcription activities, leading to the design and delivery of precision-targeted drugs. Therefore, this reviews the research on organelles-targeted drugs based upon imaging technologies and development of fluorescent molecules for medicinal purposes. We also give a thorough analysis of a number of subcellular-level elements of drug development, including subcellular research instruments and methods, organelle biological event investigation, subcellular target and drug identification, and design of subcellular delivery systems. This review will make it possible to promote drug research from the individual/cellular level to the subcellular level, as well as give a new focus based on newly found organelle activities.

Abstract
The research of delayed fluorescence (DF) has been a hot topic in biological imaging. However, the development of analyte-triggered small molecule DF probes remains a considerable challenge. Herein a novel excited-state intramolecular proton transfer-delayed fluorescence (ESIPT-DF) approach to construct analyte-stimulated DF probes was reported. These new classes of ESIPT-DF luminophores were strategically designed and synthesized by incorporating 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT), a known ESIPT-based fluorophore, as acceptor with a series of classic donor moieties, which formed a correspondingly twisted donor-acceptor pair within each molecule. Thereinto, HBT-PXZ and HBT-PTZ exhibited significant ESIPT and DF characters with lifetimes of 5.37 and 3.65 μs in the solid state, respectively. Furthermore, a caged probe HBT-PXZ-Ga was developed by introducing a hydrophilic d-galactose group as the recognition unit specific for β-galactosidase (β-gal) and ESIPT-DF blocking agent and applied to investigate the influence of metal ions on β-gal activity on the surface of Streptococcus pneumoniae as a convenient tool. This ESIPT-DF "turn-on" approach is easily adaptable for the measurement of many different analytes using only a predictable modification on the caged group without modification of the core structure.

Abstract
Targeted release of bioactive molecules for therapeutic purposes is a key area in the biomedical field that is growing quickly, where bioactive molecules are released passively or actively from drug delivery systems (DDSs) or bioactive donors. In the past decade, researchers have identified light as one of the prime stimuli that can implement the efficient spatiotemporally targeted delivery of drugs or gaseous molecules with minimal cytotoxicity and a real-time monitoring ability. This perspective emphasizes recent advances in the photophysical properties of ESIPT- (excited-state intramolecular proton transfer), AIE- (aggregation-induced emission), and AIE + ESIPT-attributed light-activated delivery systems or donors. The three major sections of this perspective describe the distinctive features of DDSs and donors concerning their design, synthesis, photophysical and photochemical properties, and in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrating their relevance as carrier molecules for releasing cancer drugs and gaseous molecules in the biological system.

Abstract
The two-step synthesis, structural, and photophysical properties of a series of heteroaryl-substituted bis-anil derivatives presenting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) coupled with an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process is described. The fluorescence color of the aggregates can be fine tuned by changing the electronic nature of the peripheral substitution, leading to a wide range of emission wavelengths (from green to the near infra-red). Moreover, upon introduction of strong electron-withdrawing groups such as cyano (CN), a competition between ESIPT and deprotonation is observed leading to the emission of the anionic species at low water percentage. This observation led to the synthesis of an additional mixed AIE fluorophore, functionalized by methoxy groups on one side and cyano groups on the other side. Upon addition of water, this dye displays first anionic emission, followed by typical AIE/ESIPT red fluorescence upon formation of the aggregates. TD-DFT calculations on selected AIE dyes were performed to rationalize the nature of the emissive transitions in these derivatives.

Abstract
A new design was applied for the facile synthesis of pure organic photoluminescent molecules with dual excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) sites. In this novel class of emitters, full-color panel emission from blue, green, and yellow to red, including white light, can be achieved in different solvents as modulated by the enol-keto(1st)-keto(2nd) tautomer emissions. A comprehensive transient photophysical study verifies that keto(1st) and keto(2nd) have a precursor (<0.8 ps)-successor (∼20 ps)-relayed absorbance relationship, and then a fast equilibrium between the two is established, resulting in dual emissions in the nanosecond scale (∼1900 ps). Through the research on copper ions' selective PL response, the dual-ESIPT mechanism was further verified; in addition, the study of solid-state PL changes upon the stimulus of organic vapor manifests the potential application sensitivity of the molecules as dual-ESIPT sensors. Theoretical results including reaction potential energy surface analyses manifest the fact that dual-proton transfer goes along a sequential route with a smaller energy barrier, firmly supporting the experimental results. An intrinsic system that undergoes intramolecular double proton relayed transfer is thus established for the achievement of much broadened optical responses and full-color display, providing reference for the design and application of advanced dual-ESIPT optical materials.

Abstract
Redox signaling molecules include a number of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS). These molecules work collectively in the regulation of many physiological processes. Understanding the crosstalk mechanisms in these signaling molecules is important but challenging. The development of donor compounds of ROS/RNS/RSS will aid the advances in this field. While many donors that can release one ROS/RNS/RSS have been developed, dual donors that can release two signaling species and facilitate their crosstalk studies are still very rare. Those limited examples lack the ability to precisely control the timing of two releases. In this work, a 2-methoxy-6-naphthacyl-derived tertiary SNO compound, Naph-SNO, was designed and evaluated as the dual donor for NO and H2S2. The 2-methoxy-6-naphthacyl structure was demonstrated to be a novel photoremovable protecting group that could directly uncage C-S bonds. Under the irradiation of lights with different wavelengths (visible or UV), Naph-SNO could release NO and H2S2 in a stepwise manner, or simultaneously (i.e., likely producing the crosstalk product HSNO/HSSNO). In addition, the release of payloads from the donor also produced an end product with blue fluorescence. Therefore, the release process could be easily monitored in "real time." This controllable photo-triggered release strategy has the potential to be used in the design of other RNS/RSS dual donors.

Abstract
Switchable polymeric materials, which can respond to triggering signals through changes in their properties, have become a major research focus for parenteral controlled delivery systems. They may enable externally induced drug release or delivery that is adaptive to in vivo stimuli. Despite the promise of new functionalities using switchable materials, several of these concepts may need to face challenges associated with clinical use. Accordingly, this review provides an overview of various types of switchable polymers responsive to different types of stimuli and addresses opportunities and challenges that may arise from their application in biomedicine.
