Abstract
Quantitative monitoring of the concentrations of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and cysteine (Cys) is of great significance for promoting human health. In this study, iron/aluminum bimetallic MOF material MIL-53 (Fe, Al) was rapidly prepared under room temperature using a co-precipitation method, followed by investigating the peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity of MIL-53(Fe, Al) using 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a chromogenic substrate. The results showed that the Michaelis -Menten constants of TMB and H2O2 as substrates were 0.167 mM and 0.108 mM, respectively. A colorimetric sensing platform for detecting EGCG and Cys was developed and successfully applied for analysis and quantitative detection using a smartphone. The linear detection range for EGCG was 15∼80 μM (R2=0.994) and for Cys was 7∼95 μM (R2=0.998). The limits of detection (LOD) were 0.719 μM and 0.363 μM for EGCG and Cys, respectively. This work provides a new and cost-effective approach for the real-time analysis of catechins and amino acids.

Abstract
Peptides play essential roles in biological phenomena, and, thus, there is a growing interest in detecting in vivo dynamics of peptide metabolisms. Dissolution-dynamic nuclear polarization (d-DNP) is a state-of-the-art technology that can markedly enhance the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), providing metabolic and physiological information in vivo. However, the hyperpolarized state exponentially decays back to the thermal equilibrium, depending on the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1). Because of the limitation in T1, peptide-based DNP NMR molecular probes applicable in vivo have been limited to amino acids or dipeptides. Here, we report the direct detection of in vivo metabolic conversions of hyperpolarized 13C-oligopeptides. Structure-based T1 relaxation analysis suggests that the C-terminal [1-13C]Gly-d2 residue affords sufficient T1 for biological uses, even in relatively large oligopeptides, and allowed us to develop 13C-β-casomorphin-5 and 13C-glutathione. It was found that the metabolic response and perfusion of the hyperpolarized 13C-glutathione in the mouse kidney were significantly altered in a model of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a novel reaction-based fluorescent sensor for the detection of Cu2+ and glutathione in real wine samples. The sensor, tris-(2-pyridyl)-methylamine rhodol derivative, was synthesized and validated for the tandem and selective detection of both Cu2+ and glutathione. The sensor exhibited a strong linear correlation between fluorescence intensity and Cu2+ concentration ranging from 100 to 900 nM, while the in situ generated Cu2+ ensemble selectively detected glutathione with a robust linear response from 3 to 30 μM. The detection limits for Cu2+ and glutathione were as low as 28 nM and 0.60 μM, respectively. Additionally, the sensor enabled quantitative detection of Cu2+ and glutathione in real wine samples. This work provides the first reaction-based fluorescence sensor with an "on-off-on" fluorescence response for the tandem detection of Cu2+ and glutathione in wine, offering potential applications in food and beverage quality control.

Abstract
Cysteine, as a vital endogenous small molecule mercaptan, plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. The high sensitivity and selectivity of fluorescent probes provide a method to monitor cysteine, which is helpful to understand the mechanism of cysteine in physiological processes more comprehensively. However, the detection of cysteine can be interfered by other small molecule biothiols. Therefore, the design of fluorescent probe based on the structural characteristics and reactivity of cysteine has become research focus currently. Given the biological compatibilities, biological targets, the metabolic pathway of 3-hydoxythalidomide, and its unique fluorescent properties, herein, we have designed a chemodosimeter, 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-4-yl acrylate, for the detection of cysteine based on a tandem reaction of thiol-ene click chemistry and aminolysis involving 3-hydroxythalidomide as a parent compound. Experimental data exhibited that the probe showed unique selectivity and sensitivity for cysteine over other amino acid and biothiols. In addition, the fluorescent intensity at 511 nm increased linearly as a function of cysteine concentration in the range of 0-6 × 10-7 M (regression factor, R2 = 0.999), with a limit of detection of 6.1 nM. The sensing mechanism was confirmed through 1H NMR titration and density functional theory calculations. Additionally, the probe was also successfully utilized for the detection of cysteine in sewage and for bioimaging in HeLa cells.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2024:10.1007/s00216-024-05537-w.

Abstract
In this study, a new near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent turn-on probe featuring a large Stokes shift (198 nm) was developed for the detection of biothiols. The probe was based on a dicyanoisophorone derivative serving as the fluorophore and a 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) group functioning as both a recognition site and a fluorescence quencher. In the absence of biothiols, the fluorescence of the probe was low due to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effect between the fluorophore and DNBS. Upon the presence of biothiols, the DNBS group underwent a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction with the sulfhydryl group of biothiols, leading to the release of the fluorophore and a notable emission peak at 668 nm. This developed probe exhibited exceptional selectivity and sensitivity to biothiols in solution, with an impressive detection limit of 28 nM for cysteine (Cys), 22 nM for homocysteine (Hcy), and 24 nM for glutathione (GSH). Furthermore, the probe demonstrated its applicability by successfully visualizing both endogenous and exogenous biothiols in living systems.

Abstract
Biothiols widely exist in living organisms and have a crucial function of maintaining redox balance in the human body. It is vital yet difficult to develop probes that can simultaneously detect and distinguish biothiols. In this study, a highly sensitive dual-modality nanosensor, NBD-Nap@NCC, was developed for the discrimination and determination of biothiols in real samples, and its practical application was elucidated based on RGB analysis using a smartphone. The sensitive nanosensor was successfully prepared through the surface modification of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC), combining NBD and naphthalene fluorophores. Owing to the high electron-withdrawing behavior of the NBD group, which led to a PET mechanism between the fluorophores, the prepared NBD-Nap@NCC nanosensor had a very weak fluorescence response. However, after treatment with Hcy or Cys, NBD-Nap@NCC quickly provided remarkable and different rates of fluorescence "turn-on" responses in both blue and green channels, which was attributed to naphthalene and NBD fluorophores as a result of the inhibition of the PET mechanism. However, after treatment with GSH, only a significant blue-channel emission, which was attributed to the naphthalene fluorophore was obtained, indicating the inhibition of the PET mechanism. Furthermore, the NCC platform demonstrated improved sensitivity and selectivity because of the increased surface area and higher number of binding sites due to modification of the NBD group on the surface. The detection limit ranged from 0.910 to 1.150 μmol L-1 for biothiols with a large dynamic response range. The accuracy of the sensor in determining the concentrations of Hcy, Cys, and GSH in real samples was evaluated via HPLC and spike/recovery analysis. Additionally, paper-based analysis kits were fabricated for the practical detection of biothiols based on RGB changes using a smartphone application.

Abstract
A new "OFF-ON" coumarin-based fluorescent probe for H2S detection was designed and successfully developed through O-sulfonylation between a dabsyl quencher and 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin as a fluorescent reporter, based on a FRET approach. This H2S responsive probe, utilizing H2S assisted thiolysis of a sulfonate ester as the sensing strategy, demonstrated excellent performance towards H2S with a limit of detection (LoD) of 1.64 µM, along with superb selectivity, good stability and high specificity towards H2S without interference from other biomarkers and analytes. Moreover, dabsyl-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (dabsylcoumarin) is capable of permeating the cell membrane and effectively visualizing the level of H2S in the living HeLa cells without cytotoxicity.

Abstract
L-Cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) are closely related biological species that widely exist in food and living cells. To simultaneously detect Cys and GSH from different emission channels, we developed a fluorescent probe (BDP-NBD) based on near-infrared BODIPY and 7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD). Upon nucleophilic substitution reaction with GSH, BDP-NBD generated an emission band at 713 nm, which can be used to determine GSH (0-100 μM) with a low detection limit (34 nM). Different from GSH, BDP-NBD underwent a nucleophilic substitution-rearrangement reaction with Cys, affording two emission bands at 550 nm and 713 nm, respectively. BDP-NBD was successfully employed to quantify Cys and GSH in various food samples with good recoveries (86.6%-104.6%). Besides, BDP-NBD can image Cys and GSH in living cells from two emission channels. Therefore, this work developed a tool for the simultaneous determination of Cys and GSH in both food and living cells so as to ensure food safety and human health.

Abstract
In this work, L-Histidine-protected copper nanoclusters synthesized by changing the pH levels of precursor solution have been shown to display different emission wavelengths and intensities. As determined by mass spectrometry, nanoclusters Cu3L2 synthesized at acidic pH have 3 atoms in their core and emit in the greenish-yellow region, and nanoclusters Cu2L2, synthesized in the basic conditions have 2 atoms in their core and emit in the blue-green region. They are expected to have coordination through the carboxylate group and nitrogen of the imidazole ring of histidine ligand, respectively. Metal ions Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, and Pb2+ selectively enhance the interaction between carboxylate - copper metal core and increase the emission intensity of Cu3L2. These metal ions weaken the interaction between imidazole nitrogen and copper metal core and quench the emission intensity of Cu2L2. As synthesized, nanoclusters exhibit good water solubility and photostability, they can act as fluorescent probes to sense the metal ions, therefore, they were utilized for the optical sensing of the mentioned metal ions. Fluorescent nanoclusters were found to sense even a very low concentration of metal ions with a limit of detection (3 σ/slope) in nanomolar range.

Abstract
Chromene as the efficient biothiol recognition site was widely used to develop fluorescent probes based on thiol-chromene click reaction. However, chromene-based fluorescent probes with the both properties of ratiometric measurement and mitochondria-targeted function have not been reported and remain challenging. In this paper, we skillfully designed and synthesized the first mitochondria-targeted ratiometric fluorescent probe (Probe 1) for biothiols based on chromene. Upon addition of biothiols (Cys, Hcy, and GSH), the absorption and fluorescence spectra of Probe 1 changed from 490 to 426 nm and from 567 to 498 nm respectively, accompanied by color changes from orange to pale yellow under natural light and from orange to blue under a 365-nm UV lamp, which can be attributed to the click reaction of biothiols with α,β-unsaturated ketone of chromene moiety, subsequent pyran ring-opening, and phenol formation as well as 1,6-elimination of p-hydroxybenzyl moiety. Probe 1 not only exhibited high sensitivity (LODs of 149 nM, 133 nM, and 116 nM for Cys, GSH, and Hcy respectively), rapid response, and excellent selectivity for biothiols (Cys, Hcy, and GSH), but also could target in mitochondria and ratiometrically image the fluctuation of intracellular biothiols. Moreover, the novel design strategy of modifying chromene to the N atom of pyridine was proposed for the first time.

Abstract
By employing elemental selenium as the selenium source, we have realized the amidine-directed Rh(III)-catalyzed cascade C-H selenylation/[5 + 1] annulation for the direct construction of structurally novel selenadiazine, benzoselenadiazine, and benzoselenazol-3-amine frameworks with specific site selectivity and good functional group tolerance. Besides, the obtained products can serve as fundamental platforms for subsequent chemical transformations, and thus, the feasible SeNEx reaction, SeNEx/Michael addition, and simple conversion of the selenadiazine product into diverse other organoselenium molecules were demonstrated accordingly. Taken together, the developed methodology efficiently expands the chemical space of organoselenium species.

Abstract
Colorimetric sensing offers instant reporting via visible signals. Versus labor-intensive and instrument-dependent detection methods, colorimetric sensors present advantages including short acquisition time, high throughput screening, low cost, portability, and a user-friendly approach. These advantages have driven substantial growth in colorimetric sensors, particularly in point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. Rapid progress in nanotechnology, materials science, microfluidics technology, biomarker discovery, digital technology, and signal pattern analysis has led to a variety of colorimetric reagents and detection mechanisms, which are fundamental to advance colorimetric sensing applications. This review first summarizes the basic components (e.g., color reagents, recognition interactions, and sampling procedures) in the design of a colorimetric sensing system. It then presents the rationale design and typical examples of POC devices, e.g., lateral flow devices, microfluidic paper-based analytical devices, and wearable sensing devices. Two highlighted colorimetric formats are discussed: combinational and activatable systems based on the sensor-array and lock-and-key mechanisms, respectively. Case discussions in colorimetric assays are organized by the analyte identities. Finally, the review presents challenges and perspectives for the design and development of colorimetric detection schemes as well as applications. The goal of this review is to provide a foundational resource for developing colorimetric systems and underscoring the colorants and mechanisms that facilitate the continuing evolution of POC sensors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation is a widely used treatment for end-stage kidney disease. Nevertheless, the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in deceased donors poses a potential hazard because it significantly increases the risk of delayed graft function and potentially exerts an influence on the kidney allograft outcome. It is crucial to develop a diagnostic model capable of assessing the existence and severity of AKI in renal grafts. However, no suitable kidney injury markers have been developed thus far. METHODS We evaluated the efficacy of the molecular probe NPO-B, which selectively responds to cysteine, as a new diagnostic tool for kidney injury. We used an in vitro model using ischemia/reperfusion injury human kidney-2 cells and an in vivo ischemia/reperfusion injury mouse model. Additionally, cysteine was investigated using urine samples from deceased donors and living donors to assess the applicability of detection techniques to humans. RESULTS This study confirmed that the NPO-B probe effectively identified and visualized the severity of kidney injury by detecting cysteine in both in vitro and in vivo models. We observed that the fluorescence intensity of urine samples measured using NPO-B from the deceased donors who are at a high risk of renal injury was significantly stronger than that of the living donors. CONCLUSIONS If implemented in clinical practice, this new diagnostic tool using NPO-B can potentially enhance the success rate of kidney transplantation by accurately determining the extent of AKI in renal grafts.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a type of lipid peroxidation-induced apoptosis brought on by imbalances in iron metabolism and redox. It involves both the thiol-associated anti-ferroptosis pathway and the excessive buildup of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which stimulates the ferroptosis pathway. Determining the precise control mechanism of ferroptosis requires examining the dynamic connection between reactive sulfur species (RSS) and ROS. Cysteine (Cys) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) are highly active redox species in organisms and play dynamic roles in the ferroptosis process. In this study, a coumarin dye was conjugated with specific response sites for Cys and ONOO-, enabling the simultaneous detection of Cys and ONOO- through the green and red fluorescence channels, respectively (λem = 498 nm for Cys and λem = 565 nm for ONOO-). Using the probe LXB, we monitored the changes in Cys and ONOO- levels in the ferroptosis pathway induced by erastin. The results demonstrate a significant generation of ONOO- and a noticeable decrease in intracellular Cys levels at the beginning upon erastin treatment and finally maintains a relatively low level. This study presents the first probe to investigate the intracellular redox modulation and control between Cys and ONOO- during ferroptosis, providing valuable insights into the potential mutual correlation between Cys and ONOO- in this process.

Abstract
Acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) molecular rotors have drawn substantial attention for their applications in monitoring temperature variations within cellular microenvironments, biomimetic photocatalysis, and bioimaging. In this study, we have synthesized two novel rotor molecules, NBN1 and NBN2, by incorporating benzodithiophene (BDT) as the donor core and naphthalic anhydride/naphthalimide (NA/NI) moieties as acceptors using Pd-catalyzed Stille coupling reactions. These molecules exhibited distinct charge transfer (CT) behavior in both their absorption and emission spectra and displayed prominent emission solvatochromism. Notably, NBN1 exhibited better CT properties among the two molecules. Moreover, these A-D-A molecular rotors demonstrated remarkable sensitivities of their emission spectra toward solvent polarities and temperatures. Rotors NBN1 and NBN2 showed positive temperature coefficients with internal temperature sensitivities of 0.34% °C-1 and 0.13% °C-1 in chloroform, respectively, and thus hold significant promise for detecting temperature variations in cellular microenvironment. Furthermore, we have modeled these molecules with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) to form composite systems and performed theoretical calculations to obtain valuable insights into their charge transfer behavior. Theoretical results suggested that these molecules have the potential to efficiently sensitize and modulate the band gap of g-C3N4 and show potential for diverse photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
We have developed a highly sensitive and reliable fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) probe using nitro-dopamine (ND) and dopamine (DA) coated MnO2 nanosheet (ND@MnO2 NS and DA@MnO2 NS) as an energy acceptor and MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) as an energy donor. By employing surface-modified MnO2 NS, we can effectively reduce the fluorescence intensity of MoS2 QDs through FRET. It can reduce MnO2 NS to Mn2+ and facilitate the fluorescence recovery of the MoS2 QDs. This ND@MnO2 NS@MoS2 QD-based nanoprobe demonstrates excellent sensitivity to GSH, achieving an LOD of 22.7 nM in an aqueous medium while exhibiting minimal cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Moreover, our sensing platform shows high selectivity to GSH towards various common biomolecules and electrolytes. Confocal fluorescence imaging revealed that the nanoprobe can image GSH in A549 cells. Interestingly, the ND@MnO2 NS nanoprobe demonstrates no cytotoxicity in living cancer cells, even at concentrations up to 100 μg mL-1. Moreover, the easy fabrication and eco-friendliness of ND@MnO2 NS make it a rapid and simple method for detecting GSH. We envision the developed nanoprobe as an incredible platform for real-time monitoring of GSH levels in both extracellular and intracellular mediums, proving valuable for biomedical research and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is expressed ubiquitously in cancer cells and can metabolize exogenous substances. Studies show higher UGT1A1 levels in pancreatic cancer cells than normal cells. Therefore, we need a method to monitor the activity level of UGT1A1 in pancreatic cancer cells and in vivo. Here, we report a fluorescent probe, BCy-panc, for UGT1A1 imaging in cells and in vivo. Compared with other molecular probes, this probe is readily prepared, with high selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of UGT1A1. Our results show that BCy-panc rapidly detects UGT1A1 in pancreatic cancer. In addition, there is an urgent need for evidence to clarify the relationship between UGT1A1 and pancreatic cancer development. The present investigation found that the increase of UGT1A1 by chrysin was effective in inducing apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells. These results indicate that the synergistic effect of chrysin and cisplatin at the cellular level is superior to that of cisplatin alone. The UGT1A1 level may be a biomarker for early diagnosis of cancer. Meanwhile, UGT1A1 plays a crucial role in pancreatic cancer, and the combination of chrysin and cisplatin may provide effective ideas for pancreatic cancer treatment.

Dhanshri S, Vardhan S, Sahoo SK. Copper(II) Driven Fluorescence switch-on Detection of Ovalbumin and GSH Using a Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate Derived Tetradentate Schiff Base and its Applications. J Fluoresc 2024:10.1007/s10895-024-03735-4.

Abstract
The facile detection of glutathione (GSH) and ovalbumin (OVA) is of great importance in biological research. Herein, a tetradentate Schiff base N, N'-bis(pyridoxal-5-phosphate)-o-phenylenediamine (L) obtained by condensing two moles of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) with one mole of 1,2-phenylenediamine was employed for the fluorescence switch-on detection of GSH and OVA. When excited at 389 nm, receptor L showed a weak emission at 454 nm in an aqueous medium. The addition of GSH to the solution of L caused a significant fluorescence enhancement at 454 nm. Amino acids (leucine, glycine, serine, tryptophan, homocysteine, alanine, methionine, arginine and proline) and albumins (bovine serum albumin and OVA) failed to alter the fluorescence profile of L. Receptor L can be applied to detect GSH down to 1.16 µM. However, the fluorescence emission of L was quenched upon the formation of the L-Cu2+ complex. The addition of GSH and OVA to the in-situ formed L-Cu2+ complex restored not only the fluorescence emission of L but also a noticeable fluorescence enhancement observed at 454 nm. The decomplexation of L-Cu2+, along with the interaction of L with GSH and OVA is expected to suppress the conformational flexibility of L that enhanced the fluorescent intensity at 454 nm. Using L-Cu2+ complex, the concentration of OVA and GSH can be detected down to 0.31 µM and 0.20 µM, respectively. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation were performed to analyze the binding mode, conformational flexibility and dynamic stability of the L-Cu2+-OVA complex. Finally, the analytical novelty of L-Cu2+ was examined by detecting GSH/OVA in real biological samples, such as human blood serum, urine, and egg white.

Abstract
This research centers on the development and synthesis of a longwave fluorescence probe, labeled as 60T, designed for the simultaneous detection of hydrogen sulfide, cysteine/homocysteine, and glutathione. The probe showcases a swift response, good linearity range, and heightened sensitivity, boasting that the detection limits of the probe for Cys, Hcy, GSH and H2S were 0.140, 0.202, 0.259 and 0.396 μM, respectively. Notably, its efficacy in monitoring thiol status changes in live MCF-7 cells is underscored by a substantial decrease in fluorescence intensity upon exposure to the thiol trapping reagent, N-ethyl maleimide (NEM). With an impressive red emission signal at 630 nm and a substantial Stokes shift of 80 nm, this probe exhibits remarkable sensitivity and selectivity for biothiols and H2S, indicating promising applications in the diagnosis and surgical navigation of relevant cancers.

Two red/blue-emitting fluorescent probes for quick, portable, and selective detection of thiophenol in food, soil and plant samples, and their applications in bioimaging. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133464.

Abstract
Thiophenol (PhSH), which is widely used in many industries, poses significant health risks owing to its acute toxicity and irritating effects. Thus, the detection of PhSH is crucial for ensuring environmental and food safety. There is significant room for improvement in the sensing properties of the reported analytical methods, such as response time, detection limit, selectivity, and portable detection. Herein, we present two new red/blue fluorescence-emissive sensors (NS1 and NS2) for PhSH detection. After reacting with PhSH, NS1 exhibited a low detection limit (66.7 nM), red emission, fast response time of just 10 s, and large Stokes shift (240 nm). NS2 could detect PhSH with a low detection limit (75.8 nM), fast response time of 20 s, and blue emission. The noticeable color response and portability of the two probes made them suitable for on-site detection of PhSH in various samples, such as water, soil, plant, food samples, and living cells. Moreover, it has been shown that these probes could be used to determine PhSH content in smartphone applications, thin layer chromatography kits, and polysulfone capsule kits. Prepared probes have low cytotoxicity and show good permeability in tested living cells, which is important for early diagnosis, disease research, and emergency analysis. Compared with other studies, the proposed approach has remarkable advantages in terms of detection limit, portability, response time, and low cytotoxicity. Thus, it meets the crucial demand for ensuring health, environmental and food safety, and adherence to regulatory standards.

Abstract
Single-molecule enzyme activity assay is a platform that enables the analysis of enzyme activities at single proteoform level. The limitation of the targetable enzymes is the major drawback of the assay, but the general assay platform is reported to study single-molecule enzyme activities of esterases based on the coupled assay using thioesters as substrate analogues. The coupled assay is realized by developing highly water-soluble thiol-reacting probes based on phosphonate-substituted boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY). The system enables the detection of cholinesterase activities in blood samples at single-molecule level, and it is shown that the dissecting alterations of single-molecule esterase activities can serve as an informative platform for activity-based diagnosis.

Abstract
Cervical cancer screening is a crucial field of femtech (female technology). In this work, we disclosed a new femtech solution─a simple, straightforward, and on-site applicable urine-based cervical cancer diagnostic method using a fluorescent biothiol probe. Our newly developed nitrobenzene-based fluorescent probe, named NPS-B, effectively differentiates between cysteine and homocysteine within urine samples via controlled Smiles rearrangement. The analysis of emission-based signals offers the potential utility of this method in cervical cancer. NPS-B was designed by considering the substitution effect and structural polarity of the nitrobenzene-based fluorophore. This controlled modification of nitrobenzene-induced substantial intramolecular charge transfer changes in the fluorophore when exposed to biothiols, resulting in significant changes in photophysical properties. NPS-B displayed different emissions of cysteine and homocysteine in clinical human urine (without prior urine treatment). Overall, our findings provide insights not only into fundamental chemical science but also into the broader domain of applied sciences.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2), long considered to be a harmful atmospheric pollutant, has recently been posited as the fourth gasotransmitter, as it is produced endogenously in mammals and has important pathophysiological effects. The field of tumor therapy has witnessed a paradigm shift with the emergence of SO2-based gas therapy. This has been possible because SO2 is a potent glutathione consumer that can promote the production of reactive oxygen species, eventually leading to oxidative-stress-induced cancer cell death. Nevertheless, this therapeutic gas cannot be directly administrated in gaseous form. Thus, various nano formulations incorporating SO2 donors or prodrugs capable of storing and releasing SO2 have been developed in an attempt to achieve active/passive intratumoral accumulation and SO2 release in the tumor microenvironment. In this review article, the advances over the past decade in nanoplatforms incorporating sulfur SO2 prodrugs to provide controlled release of SO2 for cancer therapy are summarized. We first describe the synthesis of polypeptide SO2 prodrugs to overcome multiple drug resistance that was pioneered by our group, followed by other macromolecular SO2 prodrug structures that self-assemble into nanoparticles for tumor therapy. Second, we describe nanoplatforms composed of various small-molecule SO2 donors with endogenous or exogenous stimuli responsiveness, including thiol activated, acid-sensitive, and ultraviolet or near-infrared light-responsive SO2 donors, which have been used for tumor inhibition. Combinations of SO2 gas therapy with photodynamic therapy, chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and nanocatalytic tumor therapy are also presented. Finally, we discuss the current limitations and challenges and the future outlook for SO2-based gas therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Gas therapy is attracting increasing attention in the scientific community because it is a highly promising strategy against cancer owing to its inherent biosafety and avoidance of drug resistance. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is recently found to be produced endogenously in mammals with important pathophysiological effects. This review summarizes recent advances in SO2 releasing nanosystems for cancer therapy, including polymeric prodrugs, endogenous or exogenous stimulus-activated SO2 donors delivered by nanoplatform and combination therapy strategies.

Abstract
A naphthalimide-labeled rhodamine hydrazone derivative HL has been synthesized, characterized and examined in metal ion recognition. It shows selective colorimetric detection of Cu2+ over a number of other metal ions with a detection limit of 1.66 × 10-7 M in CH3CN/HEPES buffer (v/v = 2:1, pH = 6.8). The spirolactam ring of rhodamine and the imino-phenol motif of naphthalimide in HL are involved in complexation of Cu2+ as shown by single crystal X-ray. Single crystal of the copper-complex is prepared by utilizing NaSCN and it is characterized as CuL(SCN). The emergence of new absorption at 550 nm in UV-vis and the pink color of the solution reveal the selective interaction toward Cu2+. HL is characterized as a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system that remains 'turned OFF' while spirolactam ring exists. In the presence of Cu2+, FRET is 'turned ON' via the opening of spirolactam ring to give emission at 580 nm which is less intense due to the quenching effect of Cu2+ ion. The complexation is reversible and the ensemble of Cu2+.HL selectively recognizes S2- over a series of different anions involving a color change from pink to colorless via the formation of spirolactam ring. The copper complex CuL(SCN) is further employed to understand its efficacy as a therapeutic agent. The complex is cytotoxic to high-risk HPV positive cervical cancer cell lines like SiHa and HeLa and is efficient in the generation and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The complex also initiates nuclear blebbing and shows DNA degradation as understood by DNA laddering assay.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) acts as a gas transporter and cell protector and plays a role in a number of disorders and signaling processes. Given that the half-life of H2S in biological systems is between seconds and minutes, the development of rapid and accurate technologies for reliable monitoring H2S levels and dynamics in organisms is critical. However, it is still difficult to design innovative near-infrared fluorescent probes that can quickly and accurately detect H2S. Here, we constructed a novel NIR ratiometric fluorescent probe based on the "aldehyde group auxiliary strategy", Cy-H2S, for the quantitative detection and precise imaging of H2S in living cells and zebrafish. Cy-H2S responded quickly (150 s) and was highly sensitive (0.179 μM) to H2S donor. Cy-H2S was further successfully employed to track endogenous H2S fluctuation in HCT116 cells and zebrafish and evaluated the release efficiency of the H2S prodrug in a NIR ratiometric imaging way. Cy-H2S has the potential to be used as a reliable indication of H2S levels in living cells and zebrafish, as well as an innovative and practical instrument for furthering the physiological research of H2S, which will encourage the creation of advanced NIR ratiometric probes for a variety of biological applications.

Abstract
Cysteine is a vital biothiols that plays an important role in numerous physiological and pathological processes. The development of simple molecule tools for detection and analysis Cys in subcellar environment is significant for further exploring their pathophysiological. In this work, a simple but activated fluorescent probe AMIA was constructed with a donor-π-accepter (D- π -A) structure, which using an indanone as the electron-withdrawing unit acting as the fluorophore, dimethylamino group attached to the position 4 of the benzene ring as the electron-donating, two double bonds as the linker group, and the acryloyl ester group as the trigger and response unit. This probe AMIA was exhibited highly selective and sensitive response to Cys over other amino acids and ions under physiological conditions. It was found that AMIA showed a red turn-on fluorescence response at 630 nm towards Cys with a large stroke shift of 170 nm and a very low detection limit of 26.3 nM. HRMS, 1H NMR and TD-DFT calculation further confirmed that the response mechanism is the Cys triggered the addition-cyclization reaction between AMIA' acryloyl group and Cys' sulfhydryl and amino unit, leading to the release of a red fluorescent dye AMIA-OH, which can be identified by naked eyes. Furthermore, AMIA was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of Cys in living cells and zebrafish with lower cytotoxicity and good cell permeability. We hope that this novel indanone-based probe AMIA will provide a new reference for visualized Cys in other complex biological system.

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

Abstract
Cysteine is an important biological thiol and is closely related to cancer. It remains a challenge to develop a probe that can provide long-term fluorescence detection and imaging of Cys in cells as well as in living organisms. Here, a solid-state fluorophore HTPQ is combined with an acrylate group to construct a solid-state fluorescent probe HTPQC for Cys recognition. The fluorescence of the probe is quenched when the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process is turned on and the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process is turned off. In the presence of Cys, an obvious solid-state fluorescence signal can be observed. The double quenching mechanism makes the probe HTPQC have the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity, and high contrast of biological imaging. Due to low cytotoxicity, the probe HTPQC can be used to detect exogenous and endogenous Cys in living cells and is capable of imaging over long periods of time. By making full use of long wavelengths, the probe can be applied for the detection of Cys levels in tumor mice and equipped with the ability to conduct long-term imaging in vivo.

Dang TV, Kim JM, Kim MI. Ficin-copper hybrid nanoflowers with enhanced peroxidase-like activity for colorimetric detection of biothiols. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:473.

Abstract
The proteolytic enzyme ficin exhibits peroxidase-like activity but it is low and insufficient for real applications. Herein, we developed ficin-copper hybrid nanoflowers and demonstrated that they have significantly enhanced peroxidase-like activity of over 6-fold higher than that of free ficin, with one of the lowest Km and highest kcat values among all reported ficin-based peroxidase-like nanozymes. This was most likely caused by the synergistic catalysis of co-existing ficin and crystalline copper phosphate within nanoflower matrices having a large surface area. The nanoflowers were easily prepared by incubating ficin and copper sulfate at ambient temperature, causing coordination interactions between ficin's amine/amide moieties and copper ions, followed by concomitant anisotropic growth of petals composed of copper phosphate crystals with ficin. When compared to free ficin and natural horseradish peroxidase, the resulting nanoflowers' affinity toward H2O2 was greatly increased, yielding Km values of half and one-tenth, respectively, as well as noticeably improved stability. The nanoflowers were then applied to colorimetric determination of biological thiols (biothiols), such as cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH), and homocysteine (Hcy), based on their inhibition of nanoflowers' peroxidase-like activity, producing reduced color intensities as the concentration of biothiols increased. This strategy achieved highly sensitive colorimetric determinations of Cys, GSH, and Hcy after only 25-min incubation. Additionally, using this technique, biothiols in human serum were successfully determined with excellent precision, suggesting the potential application of this technology in clinical settings, particularly in point-of-care testing environments.

Abstract
Ligand-gated ion channels are essential in living organisms, and sulfonamides have antibacterial effects and can be readily coordinated with metal ions with good biological activity. A series of fluorescent ligand-gated ion channel fused arylpyrazole sulfonamide skeletons (APSnM) were synthesized based on a one-pot ultrasound strategy promoted by an inorganic base. APSnM had a high fluorescence quantum yield and a large Stokes shift in ethanol solvent. The ligand bonded ions took on a different color from the ligand and can be used as a probe to detect their own residue on plant surfaces. Their hydrophobic parameters and the fluorescence distribution in Chinese cabbage leaves indicated that APSnM significantly increased the phloem mobility of the plant. The insecticidal activity of APS3Na was higher (LC50 = 7.2423 μg/mL) than that of fipronil (15.2312 μg/mL) against Plutella xylostella, and the mechanism of high insecticidal activity of APS3Na was simulated by molecular docking, which confirmed its strong interactions with the GABA and nACh receptors of Plutella xylostella. Analysis of the crystal structure of these ligand-gated ion channels further confirmed the consistency of their structure and biological activity.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA), the synthetic counterpart of melanin, is a widely investigated bio-inspired material for its chemical and photophysical properties, and in the last few years, bio-application of PDA and PDA-based materials have had a dramatic increase. In this review, we described PDA application in optical biosensing, exploring its multiple roles as a nanomaterial. In optical sensing, PDA can not only be used for its intrinsic fluorescent and photoacoustic properties as a probe: in some cases, a sample optical signal can be derived by melanin generation in situ or it can be enhanced in another material thanks to PDA modification. The various possibilities of PDA use coupled with its biocompatibility will indeed widen even more its application in optical bioimaging.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), one of essential small-molecule-based biothiols in the human body, contributes to the regulation of redox reactions and is closely associated with many physiological and pathological metabolic processes. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe, hydroxyphenyl-conjugated benzothiazole (HBT-Cys) capable of detecting Cys was constructed, where acrylate served as the recognition group and hydroxyphenyl-linked benzothiazole acted as the fluorophore. The fluorescence of the probe was negligible in the absence of Cys, and an intense blue fluorescence was observed upon addition of Cys. The Cys-sensing mechanism could be ascribed to the Cys-involved hydrolysis reaction with acrylate, leading to light up the emission at 430 nm with about 80-fold enhancement. In addition, HBT-Cys exhibited a fast response time, remarkable selectivity and low detection limit. HBT-Cys also worked well in real-time monitoring of Cys in three different food samples (wolfberry, hawthorn, and red dates). Importantly, our probe had an excellent lysosomes-targeted ability, which was successfully employed to real-time visualize the fluctuation of both exogenous and endogenous Cys in living cells and zebrafish under lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced oxidative stress. Hopefully, the work shown here provides a potent candidate for the real-time tracking of Cys fluctuations in various biological samples.

Abstract
Using chitosan as a raw material, 1,8-naphthimide as the fluorescent chromophore, and sulfur-containing compounds as the recognition groups, a novel naphthimide-functionalized chitosan probe, CS-BNS, for the detection of ClO- was successfully synthesized. The modification of chitosan was verified by SEM, XRD, FTIR, mapping, 13C-NMR, TG and the structure of the probe molecule was characterized. The identification performance of the probes was studied using UV and fluorescence spectrophotometers. The results show that CS-BNS exhibits a specific response to ClO- based on the oxidative reaction of ClO- to the recognition motifs, as well as a good resistance to interference. And the probe has high sensitivity and fast response time, and can complete the detection of ClO- in a pure water system within 60 s. The probe can also quantify ClO- (y = 30.698x + 532.37, R2 = 0.9833) with a detection limit as low as 0.27 μM. In addition, the combination of the probe with smartphone technology enables the visualization and real-time monitoring of ClO-. Moreover, an identification system for ClO- was established by combining the probe with smartphone technology, which realized the visualization and real-time monitoring of ClO-.

Abstract
In this paper, by modifying the thioxanthene-benzothiozolium fluorophore, BCy-Cys, a lysosome-targeted near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe was synthesized for the detection of cysteine (Cys) from homocysteine (Hcy)/glutathione (GSH). As expected, BCy-Cys exhibited high selectivity and high sensitivity for detection of Cys over Hcy/GSH, with an extremely low limit of detection at 0.31 μM, marked by obvious color changes. HRMS was conducted to confirm that the fluorescence intensity at 795 nm was significantly enhanced by the enhancement of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). Importantly, BCy-Cys could be used to visualize both exogenous and endogenous lysosomal Cys, signifying its potential application in complex organismal systems.

Abstract
Noninvasive visualization of liver polarity by using fluorescence imaging technology is helpful to better understand drug-induced liver injury (DILI). However, cell membrane-targeted polarity-sensitive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes are still scarce. Herein, we report a non-solvatochromic cell membrane-targeted NIR small molecular probe (N-BPM-C10) for monitoring the polarity changes on cell membranes in living cells and in vivo. N-BPM-C10 exhibits polarity-dependent fluorescence around 655 nm without an obvious solvatochromic effect, which endows it with good capability for the in vivo imaging study. Moreover, it can rapidly and selectively light up the cell membranes as well as distinguish tumor cells from normal cells due to its excellent polarity-sensitive ability. More importantly, N-BPM-C10 has been successfully applied to visualize liver polarity changes in vivo, revealing the reduction of liver polarity in DILI mice. We believe that N-BPM-C10 provides a new way for the diagnosis of DILI.

Świerczyńska M, Słowiński D, Michalski R, Romański J, Podsiadły R. A New and Fast-Response Fluorescent Probe for Monitoring Hypochlorous Acid Derived from Myeloperoxidase. Molecules 2023; 28:6055. [PMID: 37630307 PMCID: PMC10459737 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28166055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) has been implicated in numerous pathologies associated with an inflammatory component, but its selective and sensitive detection in biological settings remains a challenge. In this report, imaging of HOCl was realized with a thiomorpholine-based probe as derivative of nitrobenzothiadiazole (NBD-S-TM). The fluorescence is based on photoinduced electron transfer by using nitrobenzothiadiazole core as a donor and thiomorpholine substituent as an acceptor. NBD-S-TM showed high sensitivity and a fast response to HOCl k = (2.6 ± 0.2) × 107 M-1s-1 with a 1:1 stoichiometry. The detection limit for HOCl was determined to be 60 nM. Furthermore, the desirable features of NBD-S-TM for the detection of HOCl in aqueous solutions, such as its reliability at physiological pH, rapid fluorescence response, and biocompatibility, enabled its application in the detection of HOCl in myeloperoxidase enzymatic system. Moreover, NBD-S-TM exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity for HOCl over other biologically relevant species, such as hydrogen peroxide and peroxynitrite. The fluorescent S-oxidized product (NBD-S-TSO) is only formed in the presence of HOCl. Probing with NBD-S-TM may be helpful to further the development of high throughput screening assays to monitor the activity of myeloperoxidase.

Abstract
Real-time imaging and monitoring of biothiols in living cells are essential for understanding pathophysiological processes. However, the design of the fluorescent probe that has accurate and repeatable real-time monitoring capabilities for these targets is highly challenging. In this study, we prepared a fluorescent sensor, Lc-NBD-Cu(II), which contains a N1, N1, N2-tris-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) ethane-1,2-diamine as a Cu(II) chelating unit and a 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole fluorophore to detect Cysteine (Cys). Emission changes promoted by addition of Cys to this probe are distinctive and correspond to a range of processes including Cys induced loss of Cu(II) from Lc-NBD-Cu(II) to form Lc-NBD, Cu(I) oxidation to reform Cu(II), Cys oxidation to form Cys-Cys, Cu(II) binding to Lc-NBD to reform Lc-NBD-Cu(II), and competitive binding of Cu(II) to Cys-Cys. The study also shows that Lc-NBD-Cu(II) maintains high stability during the sensing process and that it can be utilized over a number of detection cycles. Finally, the findings show that Lc-NBD-Cu(II) can be utilized to repetitively sense Cys in living HeLa cells.

Abstract
To achieve real-time monitoring of Au3+, a corn bract cellulose-based fluorescent probe MAC-1 for was synthesized. MAC-1 showed good fluorescence properties in DMF-H2O (1:9, v/v, pH = 7.4) solution, showed a fluorescence emission peak at 520 nm with quenching fluorescence properties for Au3+. The structure of MAC-1 was analyzed by SEM (Sample microstructure images), XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), 1H NMR, Elemental analysis, EDS, Mapping and TG (Thermogravimetry) were analyzed. The fluorescence properties of the probe were also characterized by UV spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results showed that the recognition of Au3+ by the probe MAC-1 exhibited high selectivity and high sensitivity. Moreover, it is highly resistant to interference and has a short response time, which can be rapidly responded within 1 min. In addition, to improve the practical application of the probe, the probe was prepared as a fluorescent composite film and the fluorescence effect shown by the fluorescent composite film is consistent with the fluorescence change of the probe MAC-1 itself. The fluorescent composite film also has excellent selectivity and good overall physical and mechanical properties. This study provides a meaningful reference for the detection of Au3+ and further expands the application field of agroforestry waste.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH), the most prevalent nonprotein thiol in biological systems, acts as both an antioxidant to manipulate intracellular redox homeostasis and a nucleophile to detoxify xenobiotics. The fluctuation of GSH is closely related to the pathogenesis of diverse diseases. This work reports the construction of a nucleophilic aromatic substitution-type probe library based on the naphthalimide skeleton. After an initial evaluation, the compound R13 was identified as a highly efficient GSH fluorescent probe. Further studies demonstrate that R13 could readily quantify GSH in cells and tissues via a straightforward fluorometric assay with a comparable accuracy to the results from the HPLC. We then used R13 to quantify the content of GSH in mouse livers after X-ray irradiation, revealing that irradiation-induced oxidative stress leads to the increase of oxidized GSH (GSSG) and depletion of GSH. In addition, probe R13 was also applied to investigate the alteration of the GSH level in the Parkinson's mouse brains, showing a decrease of GSH and an increase of GSSG in Parkinson's mouse brains. The convenience of the probe in quantifying GSH in biological samples facilitates further understanding of the fluctuation of the GSH/GSSG ratio in diseases.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of thiols in cysteine (Cys) have been shown to be associated with growth retardation, skin lesions, and neurotoxicity in humans. Herein, we designed and synthesized a rare earth upconversion luminescent (UCL) nanocomposite probe UCNP-PEG-NOF1 for the UCL detection of Cys using NOF1 developed by our group as a Cys probe. The core structure of rare earth nanoparticles can absorb light at 980 nm and convert it into visible light. The detection principle of Cys was based on the change in absorption peak before and after the reaction between NOF1 and Cys, as well as the change in UCL intensity. The rare earth nanocomposite in the probe could be excited by near-infrared light and had low background fluorescence and strong penetration ability; thus, the probe was successfully employed to specifically and sensitively detect Cys with a low background signal. Overall, the developed UCNP-PEG-NOF1 probe had good selectivity and high sensitivity for Cys; its detection limit was as low as 83 nM.

Abstract
In this work, a copper iodine module bearing a coordination polymer (CP) with a formula of [(Cu2I2)2Ce2(INA)6(DMF)3]·DMF (1, HINA = isonicotinic acid, DMF = N,N'-dimethyl formamide) is presented. The title compound features a three dimensional (3D) structure, in which the {Cu2I2} cluster and {Cu2I2}n chain modules are coordinated by N atoms from a pyridine ring in INA- ligands, while the Ce3+ ions are bridged by the carboxylic groups of INA- ligands. More importantly, compound 1 exhibits an uncommon red fluorescence (FL) with a single emission band maximized at 650 nm belonging to near infrared (NIR) luminescence. The temperature dependent FL measurement was applied to investigate the FL mechanism. Remarkably, 1 could be used as a FL sensor to cysteine and the nitro-bearing explosive molecule of trinitropheno (TNP) with high sensitivity, demonstrating its potential FL sensing applications for biothiol and explosive molecules.

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

Abstract
Nucleic acid drugs have the advantages of rich target selection, simple in design, good and enduring effect. They have been demonstrated to have irreplaceable superiority in brain disease treatment, while vectors are a decisive factor in therapeutic efficacy. Strict physiological barriers, such as degradation and clearance in circulation, blood-brain barrier, cellular uptake, endosome/lysosome barriers, release, obstruct the delivery of nucleic acid drugs to the brain by the vectors. Nucleic acid drugs against a single target are inefficient in treating brain diseases of complex pathogenesis. Differences between individual patients lead to severe uncertainties in brain disease treatment with nucleic acid drugs. In this Review, we briefly summarize the classification of nucleic acid drugs. Next, we discuss physiological barriers during drug delivery and universal coping strategies and introduce the application methods of these universal strategies to nucleic acid drug vectors. Subsequently, we explore nucleic acid drug-based multidrug regimens for the combination treatment of brain diseases and the construction of the corresponding vectors. In the following, we address the feasibility of patient stratification and personalized therapy through diagnostic information from medical imaging and the manner of introducing contrast agents into vectors. Finally, we take a perspective on the future feasibility and remaining challenges of vector-based integrated diagnosis and gene therapy for brain diseases.

Abstract
Hypochlorite (ClO-) as a well-known highly reactive oxygen species (ROS), is widely used as preservative and household disinfectant in daily life. Although many fluorescence imaging sensors for ClO- have been reported, the development of ClO- ratio fluorescence sensors with large Stokes shift is still quite limited. This sensor shows obvious benefits including minimizing environmental intervention and improving signal-to-noise ratio. In the present project, we report an innovative conjugated pyrene-based system, 1-B, as a chlorine fluorescence sensor. The detector exhibits ratio detection performance, large Stokes and emission shifts. Furthermore, the system has desired sensitivity as well as selectivity for ClO-. Based on these excellent properties, the sensor 1-B was successfully used as ink to encrypt patterns and anti-counterfeiting information through inkjet printing technology. Compared with the existing probes, the probe shows some superior characteristics, which provides a promising tool for exploring the role of ClO- response sensor in the field of anti-counterfeiting.
