Abstract
At present, there is a lack of sufficiently specific laboratory diagnostic indicators for schizophrenia. Serum homocysteine (Hcy) levels have been found to be related to schizophrenia. Cysteine (Cys) is a demethylation product in the metabolism of Hcy, and they always coexist with highly similar structures in vivo. There are few reports on the use of Cys as a diagnostic biomarker for schizophrenia in collaboration with Hcy, mainly because the rapid, economical, accurate, and high-throughput simultaneous detection of Cys and Hcy in serum is highly challenging. Herein, a click reaction-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor was developed for simultaneous and selective detection of Cys and Hcy. Through the efficient and specific CBT-Cys click reaction between the probe containing cyan benzothiazole and Cys/Hcy, the tiny methylene difference between the molecular structures of Cys and Hcy was converted into the difference between the ring skeletons of the corresponding products that could be identified by plasmonic silver nanoparticle enhanced molecular fingerprint spectroscopy to realize discriminative detection. Furthermore, the SERS sensor was successfully applied to the detection in related patient serum samples, and it was found that the combined analysis of Cys and Hcy can improve the diagnostic accuracy of schizophrenia compared to a single indicator.

Selection of regioselective DNA aptamer for detection of homocysteine in nondeproteinized human plasma. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 237:115528.

Abstract
Small molecule-binding aptamers often suffer from high cross reactivity to structure analogues in biological samples, limiting their value for clinical diagnosis. Herein, we present a method to overcome this issue, by performing binding-inhibited organic reaction-based regioselective selection of aptamers against homocysteine (Hcy), which is a marker for diagnosing many disorders including stroke and Alzheimer's. This approach has led to isolation of a DNA aptamer that binds to the alkane thiol chain of Hcy with exceptional specificity against cysteine. It also binds with oxidized Hcy at weaker affinity. Using this new aptamer, we produced a reusable fluorescent optical fiber aptasensor for direct and validated detection of both free and total Hcy in nondeproteinized patient plasma in the diagnostic concentration range. The binding site-specific aptamer selection and optical-fiber-sensing strategy can expand the practical utility of aptamers in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
This study describes the development of a low-cost fluorescence assay for detecting homocysteine (Hcy) without the interference of cysteine and glutathione using carbon quantum dots. Herein nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCDs) were synthesized from citric acid as the carbon source and urea as the dopant using a one-pot microwave-assisted method. The obtained NCDs were incorporated with folic acid (FA) by the direct ex situ addition method and were used as a fluorescence probe to detect Hcy. The probe exhibited a fluorescence turn-on response with increased Hcy concentration up to 50 μM with a limit of detection of 2.276 μM. The point of care detection of Hcy using the probe was also tested with a paper-based assay strip.

Abstract
A series of copper(II) compounds 1-4 were synthesized and developed as fluorogenic probes to measure the cardiac marker homocysteine (Hcy) without any interference from other bioanalytes prevalent in human blood plasma including, cysteine and glutathione. UV-vis and EPR studies have provided confirmatory evidence for reduction-induced-emission-enhancement of the probe, which is responsible for the observed "off-to-on" behaviour towards Hcy. Water solubility, remarkable fluorescence enhancement (55-111 fold), and low detection ability (nearly 2.5 μM) make the probe suitable for clinical testing of cardiac samples. Investigation of 1 against a few reductive interferents testifies its specificity for Hcy. Results from clinical examination of cardiac samples by 1 when combined with the outcome of the reliability testing involving a clinically approved commercial immunoassay kit, validates the prospect of the molecular probe for direct measurement of Hcy in human plasma, which is unprecedented.

Abstract
Small molecular biothiols, including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), play essential roles in maintaining the redox homeostasis of biological systems, the disorders of which are closely associated with neuropathology. To date, many probes have been developed to identify Cys and GSH; however, due to the relatively low content and the high structural homology with Cys, there is still a lack of effective strategies to design probes enabling Hcy detection in physiological environments with high selectivity, high sensitivity, and rapid response. Herein, we developed a reaction-kinetics/sequence-differentiation strategy based on a dual-binding-site boron-dipyrrin (BODIPY) fluorophore, which was able to selectively distinguish Hcy from Cys and GSH within 50 s though a ratiometric fluorescence response mode. Benefiting from these features, the probe is capable of real-time imaging and quantitative analysis of intracellular Hcy in living neurons. Moreover, results of the disease-model experiments at the cellular level indicated a gradual increase of the Hcy level in neurons during the processes of aggregated amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide or ischemia treatment, which would further promote the neuron apoptosis. These findings provide the first direct experimental evidence for the impact of Alzheimer's disease and ischemic stroke on the Hcy metabolism of brain neurons and the associated neuron injury.

Abstract
Observations that copper and homocysteine levels are simultaneously elevated in patients with cardiovascular disease has generated interest in investigating the interactions between copper and homocysteine. Several prior studies have shown that complexes of copper and homocysteine are toxic, leading to cardiovascular damage in vitro. It is not clear, however, why related effects do not occur with other structurally similar, more abundant cellular thiols such as glutathione and cysteine. Herein, a mechanism for a selective redox interaction between copper and homocysteine is demonstrated. It involves a kinetically favored intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer that results in an alpha-amino carbon-centered radical known to promote biomolecular damage.

Abstract
We herein described a rapid, sensitive, and selective colorimetric sensing platform for biothiols in human serum, which relies on the dual functions of biothiols as anti-etching and aggregating agent for silver nanoprisms (AgNPRs). In principle, the target biothiols that bind to the surface of AgNPRs through Ag–S covalent interactions protect the AgNPRs from being etched by chloride ion (Cl−) in human serum, thus exhibiting the blue/purple color that is indicative of AgNPRs. On the other hand, the color of AgNPRs turned to yellow in the absence of biothiols or the presence of non-sulfur-containing amino acids, indicating the formation of small silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Importantly, we found that individual biothiols (Hcy, Cys, and GSH) exert not only the anti-etching effect, but also the aggregating effect on AgNPRs, which can be modulated by simply tuning the pH conditions, and this consequently allows for the discriminative detection of each biothiol. Based on this simple and cost-effective strategy, we successfully determined the Hcy, Cys, and GSH in human serum with high sensitivity and selectivity within 10 min, demonstrating the diagnostic capability and potential in practical applications.

Abstract
Abnormal concentrations of biothiols such as cysteine, homocysteine and glutathione are associated with various major diseases. In biological systems, the structural similarity and functional distinction of these three small molecular thiols has not only required rigorous molecular design of the fluorescent probes used to detect each thiol specifically, but it has also inspired scientists to uncover the ambiguous biological relationships between these bio-thiols. In this minireview, we will discuss the evolution of small organic molecular fluorescent probes for the detection of thiols over the past 60 years, highlighting the potent methodologies used in the design of thiol probes and their particular applications in the semi-quantification of cellular thiols and real-time labelling. At the same time, the present challenges that limit their further application will be discussed. We hope that this minireview will promote future research to enable deeper insight into the crucial role of thiols in biological systems. The chronological evolution of small organic molecular fluorescent probes for thiols: from separation dependency analysis to cellular specific analysis, what's next?![]()

Abstract
In recent years, it has become a trend to employ organic molecular fluorescent probes with multireaction sites for the distinguishable detection and biological imaging of similar substances. However, the introduction of multireaction sites brought great challenges to organic synthesis, and at the same time, often destroyed the conjugated structure of the molecules, leading to an unsatisfactory fluorescence emission wavelength not conducive to practical application. As the eternal theme of life, metabolism goes on all the time. Metabolism is a series of ordered chemical reactions that occurs in the organism to maintain life. Chemical reactions in metabolism can be summarized as metabolic pathways. Simultaneous monitoring of different metabolic pathways of the same substance poses a lofty challenge to the probe. Here, we developed a new strategy: to construct new sites through the preliminary reactions between probes and some targets, which can be used to further distinguish among targets or detect their metabolites, so as to realize the simultaneous visualization tracer of multiple metabolic pathways. By intravenous injection, it revealed that the probe containing benzopyrylium ion can target tumors efficiently, and thiols are highly expressed in tumors compared to other tissues (heart, lung, kidney, liver, etc.). The consumption of thiols by the probe could not prevent tumor growth, suggesting that the tumor cure was not correlated with thiol concentration. The construction of new sites in the reaction process is a novel idea in the pursuit of multiple reaction sites, which will provide more effective tools for solving practical problems.

Abstract
Small molecular biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), reduced glutathione (GSH), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), play crucial parts in regulating the redox balance of life activities, regulating normal physiological activities and preventing various diseases. Quantitative analysis of these important small molecular substances is very important for revealing their diverse physiological and pathological effects. Although many fluorescent probes have been reported to detect biothiols in cells, it is still not sufficiently advanced to detect biothiols with separated fluorescence emission peak by same wavelength excitation. In our work, we designed a simple conjugate of Nile red and NBD (7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole) as long-wavelength fluorescent probe NR-NBD for the simultaneous discrimination of these biothiols at single wavelength excitation. Probe NR-NBD could efficiently discriminate Cys/Hcy, GSH and H2S by two separated fluorescence emission channels and absorption spectra. Importantly, probe NR-NBD has excellent specificity and sensitivity towards the monitoring of endogenous/exogenous Cys/Hcy and GSH/H2S in living cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Cysteine has a great effect on the physiological and pathological processes, which could bring out various diseases such as skin lesions, edema, hair depigmentation, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and liver damage due to the abnormal concentrations of cysteine. Therefore, it is of great impoatance to develop a method for imaging Cys. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe was developed for imaging Cys in vivo specially. This turn-on probe exhibited favorable advantages including large Stokes shift (90 nm), fast response (10 min), good selectivity, low cytotoxicity and so on. Furthermore, the probe could be applied to monitoring cysteine in living HeLa cells, which indicates that this turn-on probe could penetrate viable cell membranes and image Cys over other analystes especially HCy and GSH.

Abstract
A highly selective and sensitive turn-on fluorescent BODIPY-based probe for the simultaneous and selective detection of Cys and Hcy/GSH from dual emission channels was developed. The spatial steric hindrance of the methyl groups at 1- and 7-positions in BODIPY skeleton prevented intramolecular displacement of sulfur with amino group of Hcy but not of Cys. GSH molecular skeleton is larger and amino is far away from sulfydryl group, and the product of the reaction of probe with GSH canstay in thiol phase. Therefore, the probe was successfully applied to the detection of Cys from GSH/Hcy. The confocal microscopy experiments implied that this probe is a promising candidate for imaging of Cys and Hcy/GSH in Hela cells.

Abstract
In contrast to the classical design of a probe with one binding site to target one specific analyte, probes with multiple interaction sites or, alternatively, with single sites promoting tandem reactions to target one or multiple analytes, have been developed. They have been used in addressing the inherent challenges of selective targeting in the presence of structurally similar compounds and in complex matrices, as well as the visualization of the in vivo interaction or crosstalk between the analytes. Examples of analytes include reactive sulfur species, reactive oxygen species, nucleotides and enzymes. This review focuses on recent innovations in probe design, detection mechanisms and the investigation of biological processes. The vision is to promote the ongoing development of fluorescent probes to enable deeper insight into the physiology of bioactive analytes.

Abstract
In this study, a new coumarin-based fluorescent and chromogenic dual channel probe (DC) was used for the selective detection of homocysteine (Hcy) over other amino acids, especially for cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH). When Hcy is present in the solution, the remarkable fluorescence enhancement and obvious blue shift in UV-vis spectra can be observed. In addition, the color change from purple to yellow can be observed clearly by unaided eyes. This probe DC has fast response time, excellent sensitivity and selectivity to Hcy. A linear relationship exists between the ratio of emissions at 486 and 625 nm, and Hcy can be detected in a wide concentration range (0-200 μM). The signal-to-background ratio of fluorescence at 486 nm can reach 8.4, and the detection limit is calculated to be 3.5 µM. The response mechanism is proved to be the Michael addition reaction by Hcy. Preliminary results on cell imaging enable the practical application of Hcy tracing in living cells.

Abstract
Biological thiols, like cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), play crucial roles in biological systems and in lysosomal processes. Highly selective probes for detecting biological thiols in lysomes of living cells are rare. In this work, a lysosome-targetable turn-on fluorescent probe for the detection of thiols in living cells was designed and synthesized based on a 1,8-naphthalimide derivative. The probe has a 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine unit as a lysosome-targetable group and an acrylate group as the thiol recognition unit as well as a fluorescence quencher. In the absence of biothiols, the probe displayed weak fluorescence due to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process. Upon the addition of biothiols, the probe exhibited an enhanced fluorescence emission centered at 550nm due to cleavage of the acrylate moiety. The probe had high selectivity toward biothiols. Moreover, the probe features fast response time, excitation in the visible region and ability of working in a wide pH range. The linear response range covers a concentration range of Cys from 1.5×10-7 to 1.0×10-5mol·L-1 and the detection limit is 6.9×10-8mol·L-1 for Cys. The probe has been successfully applied to the confocal imaging of biothiols in lysosomes of A549 cells with low cell toxicity. Furthermore, the method was successfully applied to the determination of thiols in a complex multicomponent mixture such as human serum, which suggests our proposed method has great potential for diagnostic purposes. All of such good properties prove it can be used to monitor biothiols in lysosomes of living cells and to be a good fluorescent probe for the selective detection of thiols.

Abstract
Oxidative stress biomarkers, including glutathione (GSH) and related compounds, are involved in a variety of interactions enabling redox potential maintenance in living cells and protection against radicals. Since the oxidative stress is promoting and, in many cases, inducing serious illnesses, monitoring of GSH levels can aid in diagnostics and disease prevention. Herein, we report on the discovery of the formation of a supramolecular ensemble of GSH with fluorone black (9-phenyl fluorone, FB) which is optically active and enables sensitive determination of GSH by resonance elastic light scattering (RELS). We have found that supramolecular interactions of GSH with FB can be probed with spectroscopic, RELS, and electrochemical methods. Our investigations show that RELS intensity for FB solutions increases with GSH concentration while fluorescence emission of FB is not affected, as quenching begins only above 0.8mM GSH. The UV-Vis difference spectra show a positive peak at 383nm and a negative peak at 458nm, indicating a higher-energy absorbing complex in comparison to the non-bonded FB host. Supramolecular interactions of FB with GSH have also been corroborated by electrochemical measurements involving two configurations of FB-GSH ensembles on electrodes: (i) an inverted orientation on Au-coated quartz crystal piezoelectrode (Au@SG-FB), with strong thiolate bonding to gold, and (ii) a non-inverted orientation on glassy carbon electrode (GCE@FB-GS), with weak π-π stacking attachment and efficient charge mediation through the ensemble. The formation of a supramolecular ensemble with hydrogen bonding has also been confirmed by quantum mechanical calculations. The discovery of supramolecular FB-GSH ensemble formation enables elucidating the mechanisms of strong RELS responses, changes in UV-Vis absorption spectra, and the electrochemical reactivity. Also, it provides new insights to the understanding of the efficient charge-transfer in redox potential homeostasis which is likely based on an intermediate formation of a similar type of supramolecular ensembles.

Abstract
Thiols and primary aliphatic amines (PAA) are ubiquitous and extremely important species in biological systems. They perform significant interplaying roles in complex biological events. A single fluorescent probe differentiating both thiols and PAA can contribute to understanding the intrinsic inter-relationship of thiols and PAA in biological processes. Herein, we rationally constructed the first fluorescent probe that can respond to thiols and PAA in different fluorescence channels. The probe exhibited a high selectivity and sensitivity to thiols and PAA. In addition, it displayed sequential sensing ability when the thiols and PAA coexisted. The application experiments indicated that the probe can be used for sensing thiols and PAA in human blood serum. Moreover, the fluorescence imaging of endogenous thiols and PAA as well as antihypertensive drugs captopril and amlodipine in living cells were successfully conducted.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe 1 based on acridine orange was developed for the selective detection and bioimaging of biothiols. The probe exhibits higher selectivity and turn-on fluorescence response to cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH) than to other amino acids. Importantly, the probe responds to GSH and Cys/Hcy with distinct fluorescence emissions in PBS buffer at pH of 7.4. The Cys/Hcy-triggered tandem SNAr-rearrangement reaction and GSH-induced SNAr reaction with the probe led to the corresponding amino-acridinium and thio-acridinium dyes, respectively, which can discriminate GSH from Cys/Hcy through different emission channels. Interestingly, Cys finishes the tandem reaction with the probe and subsequently forms amino-acridinium and Hcy/GSH induces SNAr reaction with the probe to form thio-acridiniums at weakly acidic conditions (pH 6.0), enabling Cys to be discriminated from Hcy/GSH at different emissions. Finally, we demonstrated that probe 1 can selectively probe GSH over Cys and Hcy or Cys over GSH and Hcy in HeLa cells through multicolor imaging.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), a small-molecule aminothiol, plays important roles in various physiological processes in connection with various diseases, such as skin lesions, edema, hair depigmentation and liver damage. We developed a novel two-photon fluorescent probe for sensing Cys in presence of GSH and Hcy in vivo. The two-photon fluorescent probe exhibited favorable properties, including fast response (about 20 min), good selectivity, and low cytotoxicity. Furthermore, it was successfully applied for imaging Cys in living cells and tissues.

Abstract
This manuscript reports the synthesis of pyrene-based fluorescent probe (PA-1) containing α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety and its application towards the selective and sensitive detection of cysteine (Cys) over other bio-thiols. The probe, 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-pyrenyl-2-propenone (PA-1) was synthesized through Claisen-Schmidt condensation between acetyl pyrene and salicylaldehyde. The formed product was characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and GC-MS techniques. The probe exhibited absorption maximum at 374nm and emission maximum at 467nm (λex=342nm). The emission intensity of PA-1 was greatly enhanced while adding 2.5nM Cys. This can be attributed to the nucleophilic attack of Cys to the α,β-unsaturated ketone resulting in switching off, intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from pyrene moiety to the phenolic nucleus. This was confirmed by DFT measurements. The PA-1 exhibited an excellent selectivity towards the determination of 40nM cys in the presence of 250,000-fold higher concentration of common interferents. The emission intensity was linearly increased and the limit of detection was found to be 10pM/L (S/N=3). Interestingly, the response of the PA-1 towards Cys is less than 1min. The confocal laser scanning micrographs of HeLa cells confirmed the cell permeability of the PA-1 and its ability to selectively detect Cys in living cells. In addition, the proposed probe was successfully applied for the determination of Cys in blood serum samples.

Abstract
An aryl-thioether substituted nitrobenzothiadiazole probe was synthesized and employed to detect cysteine and homocysteine selectively in living cells. Interestingly, both cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) promote an enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of the probe at pH 7.4 while only Cys gives rise to this enhancement under weakly acidic conditions (pH 6.0).

Abstract
Simple thiol derivatives, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), play key roles in biological processes, and the fluorescent probes to detect such thiols in vivo selectively with high sensitivity and fast response times are critical for understanding their numerous functions. However, the similar structures and reactivities of these thiols pose considerable challenges to the development of such probes. This review focuses on various strategies for the design of fluorescent probes for the selective detection of biothiols. We classify the fluorescent probes for discrimination among biothiols according to reaction types between the probes and thiols such as cyclization with aldehydes, conjugate addition-cyclization with acrylates, native chemical ligation, and aromatic substitution-rearrangement.

Abstract
The design and development of new pyrene-based fluorescent probes, P-Hcy-1 and P-Hcy-2, which display selective fluorescence enhancements in response to homocysteine (Hcy), are described. The distinctly different fluorescence responses of P-Hcy-1 and P-Hcy-2 to Hcy vs. Cys are explained by theoretical calculations. Finally, the results of cell experiments show that these probes can be used to selectively detect Hcy in mammalian cells.
