Abstract
By acid treatment of precursor alcohols, mesitylethynyl-substituted diarylmethyl cations were isolated as stable solids, X-ray structural analyses of which revealed a planar geometry. Furthermore, the ion pairs including these triarylpropargyl cations form charge-segregated assemblies in the crystal, and effective intermolecular interaction induces a red-shift of absorption in the crystal.

Abstract
Surgery is one of the most important paradigms for tumor therapy, while fluorescence imaging (FI) offers real-time intraoperative guidance, greatly boosting treatment prognosis. The imaging fidelity heavily relies on not only imaging facilities but also probes for imaging-guided surgery (IGS). So far, a great number of IGS probes with emission in visible (400-700 nm) and near-infrared (NIR 700-1700 nm) windows have been developed for pinpointing disease margins intraoperatively. Herein, the state-of-the-art fluorescent probes for IGS are timely updated, with a special focus on the fluorescent probes under clinical examination. For a better demonstration of the superiority of NIR FI over visible FI, both imaging modalities are critically compared regarding signal-to-background ratio, penetration depth, resolution, tissue autofluorescence, photostability, and biocompatibility. Various types of fluorescence IGS have been summarized to demonstrate its importance in the medical field. Furthermore, the most recent progress of fluorescent probes in NIR-I and NIR-II windows is summarized. Finally, an outlook on multimodal imaging, FI beyond NIR-II, efficient tumor targeting, automated IGS, the use of AI and machine learning for designing fluorescent probes, and the fluorescence-guided da Vinci surgical system is given. We hope this review will stimulate interest among researchers in different areas and expedite the translation of fluorescent probes from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is an indispensable technique for visualizing the dynamics of diverse biological processes in mammalian animal models, including cancer, viral infections, and immune responses. However, a critical scientific challenge remains: non-invasively visualizing homeostatic and disease mechanisms in freely moving animals to understand the molecular basis of exercises, social behavior, and other phenomena. Classical BLI relies on prolonged camera exposure to accumulate the limited number of photons that traveled from deep tissues in anesthetized or constrained animals. Recent advancements in synthetic bioluminescence reactions, utilizing artificial luciferin-luciferase pairs, have considerably increased the number of detectable photons from deep tissues, facilitating high-speed BLI to capture moving objects. In this review, I provide an overview of emerging synthetic bioluminescence reactions that enable the non-invasive imaging of freely moving animals. This approach holds the potential to uncover unique physiological processes that are inaccessible with current methodologies.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging is a powerful technique for visualizing biological events in living samples with high temporal and spatial resolution. Fluorescent probes emitting far-red to near infrared (NIR) fluorescence are particularly advantageous for in vivo imaging due to their high tissue permeability and low autofluorescence, as well as their suitability for multicolor imaging. Among the far-red to NIR fluorophores, Si-rhodamine is one of the most practical fluorophores for the development of tailor-made NIR fluorescent probes because of the relative ease of synthesis of various derivatives, the unique intramolecular spirocyclization behavior, and the relatively high water solubility and high photostability of the probes. This review summarizes these features of Si-rhodamines and presents recent advances in the synthesis and applications of far-red to NIR fluorescent probes based on Si-rhodamines, focusing on live-cell imaging applications such as fluorogenic probes, super-resolution imaging and dye-protein hybrid-based indicators.

Abstract
Meeting the demand for efficient photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT), a series of iridium(III) complexes decorated with silicane-modified rhodamine (Si-rhodamine) was meticulously designed and synthesized. These complexes demonstrate exceptional PDT potential owing to their strong absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum, particularly responsive to 808 nm laser stimulation. This feature is pivotal, enabling deep-penetration laser excitation and overcoming depth-related challenges in clinical PDT applications. The molecular structures of these complexes allow for reliable tuning of singlet oxygen generation with NIR excitation, through modification of the cyclometalating ligand. Notably, one of the complexes (4) exhibits a remarkable ROS quantum yield of 0.69. In vivo results underscore the efficacy of 4, showcasing significant tumor regression at depths of up to 8.4 mm. This study introduces a promising paradigm for designing photosensitizers capable of harnessing NIR light effectively for deep PDT applications.

Abstract
The single-molecule localization concept MINFLUX has triggered a reevaluation of the features of fluorophores for attaining nanometer-scale resolution. MINFLUX nanoscopy benefits from temporally controlled fluorescence ("on"/"off") photoswitching. Combined with an irreversible switching behavior, the localization process is expected to turn highly efficient and quantitative data analysis simple. The potential in the recently reported photoactivable xanthone (PaX) dyes is recognized to extend the list of molecular switches used for MINFLUX with 561 nm excitation beyond the fluorescent protein mMaple. The MINFLUX localization success rates of PaX560 , PaX+560, and mMaple are quantitatively compared by analyzing the effective labeling efficiency of endogenously tagged nuclear pore complexes. The PaX dyes prove to be superior to mMaple and on par with the best reversible molecular switches routinely used in single-molecule localization microscopy. Moreover, the rationally designed PaX595 is introduced for complementing PaX560 in dual color 561 nm MINFLUX imaging based on spectral classification and the deterministic, irreversible, and additive-independent nature of PaX photoactivation is showcased in fast live-cell MINFLUX imaging. The PaX dyes meet the demands of MINFLUX for a robust readout of each label position and fill the void of reliable fluorophores dedicated to 561 nm MINFLUX imaging.

Abstract
N-Acetyl muramic acid (NAM) probes containing alkyne or azide groups are commonly used to investigate aspects of cell wall synthesis because of their small size and ability to incorporate into bacterial peptidoglycan (PG). However, copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions are not compatible with live cells, and strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reaction rates are modest and, therefore, not as desirable for tracking the temporal alterations of bacterial cell growth, remodeling, and division. Alternatively, the tetrazine-trans-cyclooctene ligation (Tz-TCO), which is the fastest known bioorthogonal reaction and not cytotoxic, allows for rapid live-cell labeling of PG at biologically relevant time scales and concentrations. Previous work to increase reaction kinetics on the PG surface by using tetrazine probes was limited because of low incorporation of the probe. Described here are new approaches to construct a minimalist tetrazine (Tz)-NAM probe utilizing recent advancements in asymmetric tetrazine synthesis. This minimalist Tz-NAM probe was successfully incorporated into pathogenic and commensal bacterial PG where fixed and rapid live-cell, no-wash labeling was successful in both free bacterial cultures and in coculture with human macrophages. Overall, this probe allows for expeditious labeling of bacterial PG, thereby making it an exceptional tool for monitoring PG biosynthesis for the development of new antibiotic screens. The versatility and selectivity of this probe will allow for real-time interrogation of the interactions of bacterial pathogens in a human host and will serve a broader utility for studying glycans in multiple complex biological systems.

Abstract
Silicon-xanthene derivatives (SiXs) have gained popularity in the field of bioimaging due to their advantageous far-red to near-infrared (NIR) absorption and emission wavelengths, notable brightness (ε × Φ), inherent mitochondrial targeting properties and high photo-stability, making them an excellent candidate for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Nevertheless, the utilization of SiXs as photosensitizers (PSs) for PDT in cancer treatment remains largely unexplored, primarily due to their limited capacity to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the potential of SiXs in PDT warrants further investigation. In this study, utilizing the spin-orbit charge transfer-induced intersystem crossing (SOCT-ISC) mechanism, we reported one novel heavy-atom-free, mitochondria-targeted, silicon-rhodamine-based photosensitizer (SiR-PXZ), which demonstrated excellent biocompatibility, minimal dark toxicity, favorable water-solubility and stability, and considerable singlet oxygen quantum yield under 660 nm light irradiation (ΦΔ = 0.16 in air-saturated PBS). Moreover, SiR-PXZ could be rapidly taken up by the mitochondria and efficiently induced apoptosis of cancer cells with an IC50 value of 1.2 μM. The in vivo studies showed that SiR-PXZ exhibited excellent anti-tumor effects, making it potentially valuable for clinical application. This study offers a source of ideas for the construction of SiXs-based photosensitizers for photodynamic cancer treatment in the future.

Abstract
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a plasma-membrane-bound enzyme that is involved in the γ-glutamyl cycle, like metabolism of glutathione (GSH). This enzyme plays an important role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, thus being tested as a key biomarker for several medical conditions, such as liver injury, carcinogenesis, and tumor progression. For measuring GGT activity, a number of bioanalytical methods have emerged, such as chromatography, colorimetric, electrochemical, and luminescence analyses. Among these approaches, probes that can specifically respond to GGT are contributing significantly to measuring its activity in vitro and in vivo. This review thus aims to highlight the recent advances in the development of responsive probes for GGT measurement and their practical applications. Responsive probes for fluorescence analysis, including "off-on", near-infrared (NIR), two-photon, and ratiometric fluorescence response probes, are initially summarized, followed by discussing the advances in the development of other probes, such as bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, photoacoustic, Raman, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). The practical applications of the responsive probes in cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring and GGT inhibitor screening are then highlighted. Based on this information, the advantages, challenges, and prospects of responsive probe technology for GGT measurement are analyzed.

Abstract
In vivo imaging technologies have emerged as a powerful tool for both fundamental research and clinical practice. In particular, luminescence imaging in the tissue-transparent near-infrared (NIR, 700-1700 nm) region offers tremendous potential for visualizing biological architectures and pathophysiological events in living subjects with deep tissue penetration and high imaging contrast owing to the reduced light-tissue interactions of absorption, scattering, and autofluorescence. The distinctive quantum effects of nanocrystals have been harnessed to achieve exceptional photophysical properties, establishing them as a promising category of luminescent probes. In this comprehensive review, the interactions between light and biological tissues, as well as the advantages of NIR light for in vivo luminescence imaging, are initially elaborated. Subsequently, we focus on achieving deep tissue penetration and improved imaging contrast by optimizing the performance of nanocrystal fluorophores. The ingenious design strategies of NIR nanocrystal probes are discussed, along with their respective biomedical applications in versatile in vivo luminescence imaging modalities. Finally, thought-provoking reflections on the challenges and prospects for future clinical translation of nanocrystal-based in vivo luminescence imaging in the NIR region are wisely provided.

Abstract
Lysosomes have long been known for their acidic lumens and efficient degradation of cellular byproducts. In recent years, it has become clear that their function is far more sophisticated, involving multiple cell signaling pathways and interactions with other organelles. Unfortunately, their acidic interior, fast dynamics, and small size make lysosomes difficult to image with fluorescence microscopy. Here we report a far-red small molecule, HMSiR680-Me, that fluoresces only under acidic conditions, causing selective labeling of acidic organelles in live cells. HMSiR680-Me can be used alongside other far-red dyes in multicolor imaging experiments and is superior to existing lysosome probes in terms of photostability and maintaining cell health and lysosome motility. We demonstrate that HMSiR680-Me is compatible with overnight time-lapse experiments as well as time-lapse super-resolution microscopy with a frame rate of 1.5 fps for at least 1000 frames. HMSiR680-Me can also be used alongside silicon rhodamine dyes in a multiplexed super-resolution microscopy experiment to visualize interactions between mitochondria and lysosomes with only a single excitation laser and simultaneous depletion. We envision this dye permitting a more detailed study of the role of lysosomes in dynamic cellular processes and disease.

Abstract
Enriching the palette of high-performance fluorescent dyes is vital to support the frontier of biomedical imaging. Although various rhodamine skeletons remain the premier type of small-molecule fluorophores due to the apparent high brightness and flexible modifiability, they still suffer from the inherent defect of small Stokes shift due to the nonideal fluorescence imaging signal-to-background ratio. Especially, the rising class of fluorescent dyes, sulfone-substituted xanthone, exhibits great potential, but low chemical stability is also pointed out as the problem. Molecular engineering of sulfone-xanthone to obtain a large Stokes shift and high stability is highly desired, but it is still scarce. Herein, we present the combination modification method for optimizing the performance of sulfone-xanthone. These redesigned fluorescent skeletons owned greatly improved stability and Stokes shift compared with the parent sulfone-rhodamine. To the proof of bioimaging capacity, annexin protein-targeted peptide LS301 was introduced to the most promising dyes, J-S-ARh, to form the tumor-targeted fluorescent probe, J-S-LS301. The resulting probe, J-S-LS301, can be an outstanding fluorescence tool for the orthotopic transplantation tumor model of hepatocellular carcinoma imaging and on-site pathological analysis. In summary, the combination method could serve as a basis for rational optimization of sulfone-xanthone. Overall, the chemistry reported here broadens the scope of accessible sulfone-xanthone functionality and, in turn, enables to facilitate the translation of biomedical research toward the clinical domain.

Abstract
Rhodamine dyes are excellent scaffolds for developing a broad range of fluorescent probes. A key property of rhodamines is their equilibrium between a colorless lactone and fluorescent zwitterion. Tuning the lactone-zwitterion equilibrium constant (KL-Z) can optimize dye properties for specific biological applications. Here, we use known and novel organic chemistry to prepare a comprehensive collection of rhodamine dyes to elucidate the structure-activity relationships that govern KL-Z. We discovered that the auxochrome substituent strongly affects the lactone-zwitterion equilibrium, providing a roadmap for the rational design of improved rhodamine dyes. Electron-donating auxochromes, such as julolidine, work in tandem with fluorinated pendant phenyl rings to yield bright, red-shifted fluorophores for live-cell single-particle tracking (SPT) and multicolor imaging. The N-aryl auxochrome combined with fluorination yields red-shifted Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) quencher dyes useful for creating a new semisynthetic indicator to sense cAMP using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). Together, this work expands the synthetic methods available for rhodamine synthesis, generates new reagents for advanced fluorescence imaging experiments, and describes structure-activity relationships that will guide the design of future probes.

Abstract
Lysosomes have long been known for their acidic lumen and efficient degradation of cellular byproducts. In recent years it has become clear that their function is far more sophisticated, involving multiple cell signaling pathways and interactions with other organelles. Unfortunately, their acidic interior, fast dynamics, and small size makes lysosomes difficult to image with fluorescence microscopy. Here we report a far-red small molecule, HMSiR680-Me, that fluoresces only under acidic conditions, causing selective labeling of acidic organelles in live cells. HMSiR680-Me can be used alongside other far-red dyes in multicolor imaging experiments and is superior to existing lysosome probes in terms of photostability and maintaining cell health and lysosome motility. We demonstrate that HMSiR680-Me is compatible with overnight time lapse experiments, as well as time lapse super-resolution microscopy with a fast frame rate for at least 1000 frames. HMSiR680-Me can also be used alongside silicon rhodamine dyes in a multiplexed super-resolution microscopy experiment to visualize interactions between the inner mitochondrial membrane and lysosomes with only a single excitation laser and simultaneous depletion. We envision this dye permitting more detailed study of the role of lysosomes in dynamic cellular processes and disease.

Abstract
Near-infrared fluorescence imaging is vital for exploring the biological world. The short emissions (<650 nm) and small Stokes shifts (<30 nm) of current xanthene dyes obstruct their biological applications since a long time. Recently, a potent and universal THQ structural modification technique that shifts emission to the NIR-I/II range and enables a substantial Stokes shift (>100 nm) for THQ-modified xanthene dyes is established. Thus, a timely discussion of THQ-xanthene and its applications is extensive. Hence, the advent, working principles, development trajectory, and biological applications of THQ-xanthene dyes, especially in the fields of fluorescence probe-based sensing and imaging, cancer theranostics, and super-resolution imaging, are introduced. It is envisioned that the THQ modification tactic is a simple yet exceptional approach to upgrade the performance of conventional xanthene dyes. THQ-xanthene will advance the strides of xanthene-based potentials in early fluorescent diagnosis of diseases, cancer theranostics, and imaging-guided surgery.

Abstract
Rhodamines have emerged as a useful class of dye for bioimaging. However, intrinsic issues such as short emission wavelengths and small Stokes shifts limit their widespread applications in living systems. By taking advantage of the homoadamantane-fused tetrahydroquinoxaline (HFT) moiety as an electron donor, we developed a new class of asymmetric NIR rhodamine dyes, NNR1-7. These new dyes retained ideal photophysical properties from the classical rhodamine scaffold and showed large Stokes shifts (>80 nm) with improved chemo/photostability. We found that NNR1-7 specifically target cellular mitochondria with superior photobleaching resistance and improved tolerance for cell fixation compared to commercial mitochondria trackers. Based on NNR4, a novel NIR pH sensor (NNR4M) was also constructed and successfully applied for real-time monitoring of variations in lysosomal pH. We envision this design strategy would find broad applications in the development of highly stable NIR dyes with a large Stokes shift.

Abstract
In the past few decades, organosilicon fluorescent materials have attracted great attention in the field of fluorescent materials not only due to their abundant and flexible structures, but also because of their intriguing fluorescence properties, distinct from silicon-free fluorescent materials. Considering their unique properties, they have found broad application prospects in the fields of chemosensor, bioimaging, light-emitting diodes, etc. However, a comprehensive review focusing on this field, from the perspective of their catalogs and applications, is still absent. In this review, organosilicon fluorescent materials are classified into two main types, organosilicon small molecules and polymers. The former includes fluorescent aryl silanes and siloxanes, and the latter are mainly fluorescent polysiloxanes. Their synthesis and applications are summarized. In particular, the function of silicon atoms in fluorescent materials is introduced. Finally, the development trend of organosilicon fluorescent materials is prospected.

Abstract
SWIR dyes offer many advantages over their more common NIR congeners; however, the available options are limited. New SWIR imaging agents can be accessed by remodeling existing NIR molecules (i.e., hemicyanines (HDs)). In this study, we synthesized SWIR-HD, a modified HD featuring dimethylsilicon and benzo[cd]indolium groups that are designed to red-shift the absorbance and emission to 988 and 1126 nm, respectively. SWIR-HD was employed to visualize the liver and tumors via multimodal SWIR imaging.

Abstract
Long Stokes shift dyes that minimize cross-talk between the excitation source and fluorescent emission to improve the signal-to-background ratio are highly desired for fluorescence imaging. However, simple small molecular dyes with large Stokes shift (more than 120 nanometers) and near-infrared (NIR) emissions have been rarely reported so far. Here, inspired by the chromophore chemical structure of fluorescent proteins, we designed and synthesized a series of styrene oxazolone dyes (SODs) with simple synthetic methods, which show NIR emissions (>650 nanometers) with long Stokes shift (ranged from 136 to 198 nanometers) and small molecular weight (<450 daltons). The most promising SOD9 shows rapid renal excretion and blood-brain barrier passing properties. After functioning with the mitochondrial-targeted triphenylphosphonium (TPP) group, the resulting SOD9-TPP can be engineered for head-neck tumor imaging, fluorescence image-guided surgery, brain neuroimaging, and on-site pathologic analysis. In summary, our findings add an essential small molecular dye category to the classical dyes.

Abstract
A general strategy for the efficient preparation of S-rhodamines from the condensation of diaryl thioether and 2-carboxybenzaldehydes was reported. We further took a morpholine containing spirolactam structure as an example to illustrate that these S-rhodamine dyes could be utilized to construct fluorescent probes based on the ring-opening process. This work provided a general approach for the synthesis of novel S-rhodamine dyes, thus possibly facilitating the development of fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Fluorescent dyes such as rhodamines are widely used to assay the activity and image the location of otherwise invisible molecules. Si-rhodamines, in which the bridging oxygen of rhodamines is replaced with a dimethyl silyl group, are increasingly the dye scaffold of choice for biological applications, as fluorescence is shifted into the near-infrared while maintaining high brightness. Despite intense interest in Si-rhodamines, there has been no exploration of the scope of silicon functionalization in these dyes, a potential site of modification that does not exist in conventional rhodamines. Here we report a broad range of silyl modifications that enable brighter dyes, further red-shifting, new ways to modulate fluorescence, and the introduction of handles for dye attachment, including fluorogenic labeling agents for nuclear DNA, SNAP-tag and HaloTag labeling. Modifications to the bridging silicon are therefore of broad utility to improve and expand the applications of all Si-dyes. Functionalization of the bridging silicon atom of Si-rhodamine dyes allows tuning of dye performance, the attachment of sensors, and the addition of biomolecular targeting ligands useful for the construction of live cell imaging probes.![]()

Abstract
Background To take advantages, such as multiplex capacity, non-photobleaching property, and high sensitivity, of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based in vivo imaging, development of highly enhanced SERS nanoprobes in near-infrared (NIR) region is needed. A well-controlled morphology and biocompatibility are essential features of NIR SERS nanoprobes. Gold (Au)-assembled nanostructures with controllable nanogaps with highly enhanced SERS signals within multiple hotspots could be a breakthrough. Results Au-assembled silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) (SiO2@Au@Au NPs) as NIR SERS nanoprobes are synthesized using the seed-mediated growth method. SiO2@Au@Au NPs using six different sizes of Au NPs (SiO2@Au@Au50–SiO2@Au@Au500) were prepared by controlling the concentration of Au precursor in the growth step. The nanogaps between Au NPs on the SiO2 surface could be controlled from 4.16 to 0.98 nm by adjusting the concentration of Au precursor (hence increasing Au NP sizes), which resulted in the formation of effective SERS hotspots. SiO2@Au@Au500 NPs with a 0.98-nm gap showed a high SERS enhancement factor of approximately 3.8 × 106 under 785-nm photoexcitation. SiO2@Au@Au500 nanoprobes showed detectable in vivo SERS signals at a concentration of 16 μg/mL in animal tissue specimen at a depth of 7 mm. SiO2@Au@Au500 NPs with 14 different Raman label compounds exhibited distinct SERS signals upon subcutaneous injection into nude mice. Conclusions SiO2@Au@Au NPs showed high potential for in vivo applications as multiplex nanoprobes with high SERS sensitivity in the NIR region. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Abstract
Photobleaching is the permanent loss of fluorescence after extended exposure to light and is a major limiting factor in super-resolution microscopy (SRM) that restricts spatiotemporal resolution and observation time. Strategies for preventing or overcoming photobleaching in SRM are reviewed developing new probes and chemical environments. Photostabilization strategies are introduced first, which are borrowed from conventional fluorescence microscopy, that are employed in SRM. SRM-specific strategies are then highlighted that exploit the on-off transitions of fluorescence, which is the key mechanism for achieving super-resolution, which are becoming new routes to address photobleaching in SRM. Off states can serve as a shelter from excitation by light or an exit to release a damaged probe and replace it with a fresh one. Such efforts in overcoming the photobleaching limits are anticipated to enhance resolution to molecular scales and to extend the observation time to physiological lifespans.

Abstract
Described is the spatiotemporally controlled labeling and patterning of biomolecules in live cells through the catalytic activation of bioorthogonal chemistry with light, referred to as "CABL". Here, an unreactive dihydrotetrazine (DHTz) is photocatalytically oxidized in the intracellular environment by ambient O2 to produce a tetrazine that immediately reacts with a trans-cyclooctene (TCO) dienophile. 6-(2-Pyridyl)dihydrotetrazine-3-carboxamides were developed as stable, cell permeable DHTz reagents that upon oxidation produce the most reactive tetrazines ever used in live cells with Diels-Alder kinetics exceeding k2 of 106 M-1 s-1. CABL photocatalysts are based on fluorescein or silarhodamine dyes with activation at 470 or 660 nm. Strategies for limiting extracellular production of singlet oxygen are described that increase the cytocompatibility of photocatalysis. The HaloTag self-labeling platform was used to introduce DHTz tags to proteins localized in the nucleus, mitochondria, actin, or cytoplasm, and high-yielding subcellular activation and labeling with a TCO-fluorophore were demonstrated. CABL is light-dose dependent, and two-photon excitation promotes CABL at the suborganelle level to selectively pattern live cells under no-wash conditions. CABL was also applied to spatially resolved live-cell labeling of an endogenous protein target by using TIRF microscopy to selectively activate intracellular monoacylglycerol lipase tagged with DHTz-labeled small molecule covalent inhibitor. Beyond spatiotemporally controlled labeling, CABL also improves the efficiency of "ordinary" tetrazine ligations by rescuing the reactivity of commonly used 3-aryl-6-methyltetrazine reporters that become partially reduced to DHTzs inside cells. The spatiotemporal control and fast rates of photoactivation and labeling of CABL should enable a range of biomolecular labeling applications in living systems.

Abstract
We report a chemically tuned fluorogenic electrophile designed to conduct live-cell super-resolution imaging by exploiting its stochastic reversible alkylation reaction with cellular nucleophiles. Consisting of a lipophilic BODIPY fluorophore tethered to an electrophilic cyanoacrylate warhead, the new probe cyanoAcroB remains nonemissive due to internal conversion along the cyanoacrylate moiety. Intermittent fluorescence occurs following thiolate Michael addition to the probe, followed by retro-Michael reaction, tuned by the cyano moiety in the acrylate warhead and BODIPY decoration. This design enables long-term super-resolved imaging of live cells by preventing fluorescent product accumulation and background increase, while preserving the pool of the probe. We demonstrate the imaging capabilities of cyanoAcroB via two methods: (i) single-molecule localization microscopy imaging with nanometer accuracy by stochastic chemical activation and (ii) super-resolution radial fluctuation. The latter tolerates higher probe concentrations and low imaging powers, as it exploits the stochastic adduct dissociation. Super-resolved imaging with cyanoAcroB reveals that electrophile alkylation is prevalent in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. The 2D dynamics of these organelles within a single cell are unraveled with tens of nanometers spatial and sub-second temporal resolution through continuous imaging of cyanoAcroB extending for tens of minutes. Our work underscores the opportunities that reversible fluorogenic probes with bioinspired warheads bring toward illuminating chemical reactions with super-resolved features in live cells.

Abstract
Novel strategies to optimize the photophysical properties of organic fluorophores are of great significance to the design of imaging probes to interrogate biology. While the 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-benzothiazole (HBT) fluorophore has attracted considerable attention in the field of fluorescence imaging, its short emission in the blue region and low quantum yield restrict its wide application. Herein, by mimicking the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) effect, we designed a series of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-benzothiazole (HBT) derivatives by complexing the heteroatoms therein with a boron atom to enhance the chance of the tautomerized keto-like resonance form. This strategy significantly red-shifted the emission wavelengths of HBT, greatly enhanced its quantum yields, and caused little effect on molecular size. Typically, compounds 12B and 13B were observed to emit in the near-infrared region, making them among the smallest organic structures with emission above 650 nm.

Abstract
We describe the design, synthesis, and application of voltage-sensitive silicon rhodamines. Based on the Berkeley Red Sensor of Transmembrane potential, or BeRST, scaffold, the new dyes possess an isomeric molecular wire for improved alignment in the plasma membrane and 2′ carboxylic acids for ready functionalization. The new isoBeRST dyes have a voltage sensitivity of 24% ΔF/F per 100 mV. Combined with a flexible polyethyleneglycol (PEG) linker and a chloroalkane HaloTag ligand, isoBeRST dyes enable voltage imaging from genetically defined cells and neurons and provide improved labeling over previous, rhodamine-based hybrid strategies. isoBeRST-Halo hybrid indicators achieve single-trial voltage imaging of membrane potential dynamics from cultured hippocampal neurons or cortical neurons in brain slices. With far-red/near infrared excitation and emission, turn-on response to action potentials, and effective cell labeling in thick tissue, the new isoBeRST-Halo derivatives provide an important complement to voltage imaging in neurobiology. Small-molecule enzyme hybrids pair a far-red voltage-sensitive fluorophore with a cell-surface expressed HaloTag enzyme via a flexible linker to enable voltage imaging from genetically defined neurons in culture and brain slice.![]()

[PMID: 34832938 PMCID: PMC8623702 DOI: 10.3390/ph14111155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2021] [Revised: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Radiolabeled fluorescent dyes are decisive for bimodal imaging as well as highly in demand for nuclear- and optical imaging. Silicon-rhodamines (SiRs) show unique near-infrared (NIR) optical properties, large quantum yields and extinction coefficients as well as high photostability. Here, we describe the synthesis, characterization and radiolabeling of novel NIR absorbing and emitting fluorophores from the silicon-rhodamine family for use in optical imaging (OI) combined with positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), respectively. The presented photostable SiRs were characterized using NMR-, UV-Vis-NIR-spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Moreover, the radiolabeling conditions using fluorine-18 or iodine-123 were extensively explored. After optimization, the radiofluorinated NIR imaging agents were obtained with radiochemical conversions (RCC) up to 70% and isolated radiochemical yields (RCY) up to 54% at molar activities of g.t. 70 GBq/µmol. Radioiodination delivered RCCs over 92% and allowed to isolate the 123I-labeled product in RCY of 54% at a molar activity of g.t. 7.6 TBq/µmol. The radiofluorinated SiRs exhibit in vitro stabilities g.t. 70% after two hours in human serum. The first described radiolabeled SiRs are a promising step toward their further development as multimodal PET/SPECT-NIR imaging agents for planning and subsequent imaging-guided oncological surgery.

Abstract
This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS. Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects. PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Although the concept of photosensitizer-based photodynamic therapy has been widely adopted for clinical trials and bioimaging, until now, to our surprise, there has been no relevant review article on rational designs of organic PSs for PDT. Furthermore, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs. Therefore, this review aimed at reporting recent strategies to develop innovative organic photosensitizers for enhanced photodynamic therapy, with each example described in detail instead of providing only a general overview, as is typically done in previous reviews of PDT, to provide intuitive, vivid, and specific insights to the readers.

Abstract
The development of a rapid and intuitive method for the detection of a specific small molecule biomarker is important for understanding the pathogenesis of relevant diseases. Described here is the design and evaluation of an HClO-specific triggered self-immolative fluorescent sensor (RESClO) based on the structure of an N-protected Resorufin dye. Due to the interrupted π-conjugated structure of the Resorufin dye, the free sensor showed very weak absorption and fluorescence. It can quickly complete the response to HClO (within 10 s) with high selectivity and sensitivity (LOD = 16.8 nM) in aqueous solution. The sensor can be made into test strips to quickly detect HClO in the environment by obvious changes in color and fluorescence. It was successfully used for bioimaging of exogenous and endogenous HClO in cells and zebra fish. More importantly, it can also be used for visual imaging of mouse arthritis models. Thus, sensor RESClO can provide a simple and promising visual analytical tool for the detection of HClO in the environment and the early diagnosis of HClO-mediated related diseases.

Abstract
Selective cell tagging (SeCT) therapy is a strategy for labeling a targeted cell with certain chemical moieties via a catalytic chemical transformation in order to elicit a therapeutic effect. Herein, we report a cancer therapy based on targeted cell surface tagging with proapoptotic peptides (Ac-GGKLFG-X; X = reactive group) that induce apoptosis when attached to the cell surface. Using either Au-catalyzed amidation or Ru-catalyzed alkylation, these proapoptotic peptides showed excellent therapeutic effects both in vitro and in vivo. In particular, co-treatment with proapoptotic peptide and the carrier-Ru complex significantly and synergistically inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival rate of tumor-bearing mice after only a single injection. This is the first report of Ru catalyst application in vivo, and this approach could be used in SeCT for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Rhodamines are the most important class of fluorophores for applications in live-cell fluorescence microscopy. This is mainly because rhodamines exist in a dynamic equilibrium between a fluorescent zwitterion and a nonfluorescent but cell-permeable spirocyclic form. Different imaging applications require different positions of this dynamic equilibrium, and an adjustment of the equilibrium poses a challenge for the design of suitable probes. We describe here how the conversion of the ortho-carboxy moiety of a given rhodamine into substituted acyl benzenesulfonamides and alkylamides permits the systematic tuning of the equilibrium of spirocyclization with unprecedented accuracy and over a large range. This allows one to transform the same rhodamine into either a highly fluorogenic and cell-permeable probe for live-cell-stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy or a spontaneously blinking dye for single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). We used this approach to generate differently colored probes optimized for different labeling systems and imaging applications.

Abstract
Hydrogels, water-swollen polymer networks, are being applied to numerous biomedical applications, such as drug delivery and tissue engineering, due to their potential tunable rheologic properties, injectability into tissues, and encapsulation and release of therapeutics. Despite their promise, it is challenging to assess their properties in vivo and crucial information such as hydrogel retention at the site of administration and in situ degradation kinetics are often lacking. To address this, technologies to evaluate and track hydrogels in vivo with various imaging techniques have been developed in recent years, including hydrogels functionalized with contrast generating material that can be imaged with methods such as X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical imaging, and nuclear imaging systems. In this review, we will discuss emerging approaches to label hydrogels for imaging, review the advantages and limitations of these imaging techniques, and highlight examples where such techniques have been implemented in biomedical applications.

Abstract
AbstractThe development of fluorophores emitting in the near-infrared spectral window has gained increased attention given their suitable features for biological imaging. In this work, we have optimised a general and straightforward synthetic approach to prepare a small library of near-infrared-emitting C-bridged nitrobenzodiazoles using commercial precursors. C-bridged benzodiazoles have low molecular weight and neutral character as important features that are not common in most near-infrared dyes. We have investigated their fluorescence response in the presence of a wide array of 60 different biomolecules and identified compound 3i as a potential chemosensor to discriminate between Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in aqueous media.

Abstract
New bright, photostable, emission-orthogonal fluorophores that blink without toxic additives are needed to enable multicolor, live-cell, single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). Here we report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of Yale676sb, a photostable, near-IR-emitting fluorophore that achieves these goals in the context of an exceptional quantum yield (0.59). When used alongside HMSiR, Yale676sb enables simultaneous, live-cell, two-color SMLM of two intracellular organelles (ER + mitochondria) with only a single laser and no chemical additives.
