Abstract
A large number of studies have shown that lysosomal microcircumstances changes can affect many physiological and pathological processes at the cellular level. However, the visual detection of lysosomal microcircumstances is relatively difficult due to low pH (4.5-6.0) value in lysosomal that require the probe not only stable under acidic condition but also has a good localization effect to lysosomal. Obviously, novel fluorescent which possessed both acidic stability and lysosomal-target property together with lysosomal viscosity active is highly demanded. Herein, a novel BODIPY molecular CarBDP based on carbazole group was rationally designed and synthesized for the lysosomal imaging. CarBDP exhibited AIE feature with a large Stokes shift of up to 157 nm. More importantly, co-localization assay of the CarBDP-treated MCF-7 cells indicated that CarBDP has a good localization effect on lysosomal (Rr = 0.7109) due to the carbazole group while the normal BODIPY that without carbazole group (PhBDP) shows poor localization performance, this was the first time that a small molecule can locate lysosomes only based on carbazole group. CarBDP exhibits strong solid emission with long fluorescence decay lifetime (τ = 44.54 ns) and was stable under acid condition.The probe CarBDP assembled with carbazole group was successfully utilized for lysosomal localization and mapping lysosomal viscosity in live cells, which provides a novel candidate tool for the determination of lysosomal microcircumstances.

Abstract
Nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD)-incorporated naphthalene diimide derivatives were designed and synthesized as candidates of antitumor agents with cytotoxicity against human pancreatic cancer cell MIA PaCa-2. Among these, compounds 1NND and 3NND exhibited fluorescent "turn-off" property toward human telomeric G-quadruplex (G4), which allows the direct measurement of dissociation constant (Kd) of ligands against G4 by fluorescence titration method. Notably, the compound 1NND not only exhibited great cytotoxic activity against MIA PaCa-2 with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 77.9 nM, but also exhibited high affinity against G4 with Kd of 1.72 μM. Furthermore, the target binding properties were investigated by circular dichroism (CD) spectra and further studied by molecular docking methods.

Inhibiting mitochondrial citrate shuttling induces hepatic triglyceride deposition in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) through lipid anabolic remodeling. J Nutr Biochem 2024; 131:109678.

Abstract
The solute carrier family 25 member 1 (Slc25a1)-dependent mitochondrial citrate shuttle is responsible for exporting citrate from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm for supporting lipid biosynthesis and protein acetylation. Previous studies on Slc25a1 concentrated on pathological models. However, the importance of Slc25a1 in maintaining metabolic homeostasis under normal nutritional conditions remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the mechanism of mitochondrial citrate shuttle in maintaining lipid metabolism homeostasis in male Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). To achieve the objective, we blocked the mitochondrial citrate shuttle by inhibiting Slc25a1 under normal nutritional conditions. Slc25a1 inhibition was established by feeding Nile tilapia with 250 mg/kg 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid hydrate for 6 weeks or intraperitoneal injecting them with dsRNA to knockdown slc25a1b for 7 days. The Nile tilapia with Slc25a1 inhibition exhibited an obesity-like phenotype accompanied by fat deposition, liver damage and hyperglycemia. Moreover, Slc25a1 inhibition decreased hepatic citrate-derived acetyl-CoA, but increased hepatic triglyceride levels. Furthermore, Slc25a1 inhibition replenished cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA through enhanced acetate pathway, which led to hepatic triglycerides accumulation. However, acetate-derived acetyl-CoA caused by hepatic Slc25a1 inhibition did not activate de novo lipogenesis, but rather modified protein acetylation. In addition, hepatic Slc25a1 inhibition enhanced fatty acids esterification through acetate-derived acetyl-CoA, which increased Lipin1 acetylation and its protein stability. Collectively, our results illustrate that inhibiting mitochondrial citrate shuttle triggers lipid anabolic remodeling and results in lipid accumulation, indicating the importance of mitochondrial citrate shuttle in maintaining lipid metabolism homeostasis.

Abstract
The development of new fluorescent probes as molecular sensors is a critical step for the understanding of molecular mechanisms. BODIPY-based probes offer versatility due to their high fluorescence quantum yields, photostability, and tunable absorption/emission wavelengths. Here, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a novel 7-azaindole-BODIPY derivative to probe hydrophobic proteins as well as protein misfolding and aggregation. In organic solvents, this compound shows two efficiently interconverting emissive excited states. In aqueous environments, it forms molecular aggregates with unique photophysical properties. The complex photophysics of the 7-azaindole-BODIPY derivative was explored for sensing applications. In the presence of albumin, the compound is stabilized in hydrophobic protein regions, significantly increasing its fluorescence emission intensity and lifetime. Similar effects occur in the presence of protein aggregates but not with other macromolecules like pepsin, DNA, Ficoll 40, and coconut oil. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) and two-photon fluorescence microscopy on breast (MCF-7) and lung (A549) cancer cells incubated with this compound display longer fluorescence lifetimes and higher emission intensity under oxidative stress. Synchrotron FTIR micro spectroscopy confirmed that the photophysical changes observed were due to protein misfolding and aggregation caused by the oxidative stress. These findings demonstrate that this compound can serve as a fluorescent probe to monitor protein misfolding and aggregation triggered by oxidative stress.

Abstract
Synthesis and photophysical properties of a fluorescent probe HBD is described. Probe upon interaction with metal ions, anions and nucleoside pyrophosphates (NPPs) showed fluorescence quenching with Cu2+ due to chelation enhanced quenching effect (CHEQ). Moreover, interaction of ensemble HBD.Cu2+ with anions and NPPs showed fluorescence "turn-On" response with ATP selectively. "On-Off-On" responses observed with Cu2+ and ATP is attributed to an interplay between ESIPT and TICT processes. Cyclic voltammogram of probe exhibited quasi-reversible redox behaviour with three oxidation and two reduction potentials and the change in band gaps of probe suggested the interaction with Cu2+ and ATP. The 2 : 1 and 1 : 1 binding stoichiometry for an interaction between probe and Cu2+ (LOD, 62 nM) and ensemble, HBD.Cu2+ with ATP (LOD, 0.4 μM) respectively are realised by Job's plot and HRMS data. Cell imaging studies carried out to detect Cu2+ and ATP in HeLa cells. Also, the output emission observed with Cu2+ and ATP is utilized to construct an implication (IMP) logic gate. Test paper strips showed naked-eye visible color responses to detect Cu2+ and ATP. In real water samples probe successfully detected copper (0.03 μM) between 5-6.5 ppb level (ICP-MS method).

Abstract
Two series of boron derivatives with propiolamidinato ligands, [BPh2{C(C≡CAr)(NR)2}] (Ar = Ph, p-MeOPh, p-FPh, p-Me2NPh, or phen; R = iPr or p-tolyl), were synthesized and structurally characterized. The corresponding propiolamidine (or propargylamidine) proligands have been obtained through sustainable methods. One is the catalytic hydroalkynylation of diisopropylcarbodiimide with different terminal alkynes, using simple ZnEt2 as a precatalyst. Alternatively, to obtain propiolamidines with aromatic groups on the nitrogen atoms, the formation of lithiated derivatives of terminal alkynes by reaction with n-BuLi in air and at room temperature, and subsequent addition to the di-p-tolylcarbodiimide, under the same conditions and using 2-MeTHF as a sustainable solvent, has been used for the first time. After reaction with BPh3, the corresponding boron amidinates were obtained, which are emissive in the solution state. The influence of the different substituents introduced into the ligands on the photophysical properties of the boron compounds has been studied. One of the obtained compounds can be used as a ratiometric fluorescent pH sensor in the acidic range.

Abstract
Spatiotemporal assessment of lipid and protein oxidation is key for understanding quality deterioration in emulsified food products containing polyunsaturated fatty acids. In this work, we first mechanistically validated the use of the lipid oxidation-sensitive fluorophore BODIPY 665/676 as a semi-quantitative marker for local peroxyl radical formation. Next, we assessed the impact of microfluidic and colloid mill emulsification (respectively producing mono- and polydisperse droplets) on local protein and lipid oxidation kinetics in whey protein isolate (WPI)-stabilized emulsions. We further used BODIPY 581/591 C11 and CAMPO-AFDye 647 as colocalisation markers for lipid and protein oxidation. The polydisperse emulsions showed an inverse relation between droplet size and lipid oxidation rate. Further, we observed less protein and lipid oxidation occurring in similar sized droplets in monodisperse emulsions. This observation was linked to more heterogeneous protein packing at the droplet surface during colloid mill emulsification, resulting in larger inter-droplet heterogeneity in both protein and lipid oxidation. Our findings indicate the critical roles of emulsification methods and droplet sizes in understanding and managing lipid oxidation.

Abstract
Photomodulable fluorescent probes are drawing increasing attention due to their applications in advanced bioimaging. Whereas photoconvertible probes can be advantageously used in tracking, photoswitchable probes constitute key tools for single-molecule localization microscopy to perform super-resolution imaging. Herein, we shed light on a red and far-red BODIPY, namely, BDP-576 and BDP-650, which possess both properties of conversion and switching. Our study demonstrates that these pyrrolyl-BODIPYs convert into typical green- and red-emitting BODIPYs that are perfectly adapted to microscopy. We also showed that this pyrrolyl-BODIPYs undergo Directed Photooxidation Induced Conversion, a photoconversion mechanism that we recently introduced, where the pyrrole moiety plays a central role. These unique features were used to develop targeted photoconvertible probes toward different organelles or subcellular units (plasma membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, actin, Golgi apparatus, etc.) using chemical targeting moieties and a Halo tag. We notably showed that BDP-650 could be used to track intracellular vesicles over more than 20 min in two-color imagings with laser scanning confocal microscopy, demonstrating its robustness. The switching properties of these photoconverters were studied at the single-molecule level and were then successfully used in live single-molecule localization microscopy in epithelial cells and neurons. Both membrane- and mitochondria- targeted probes could be used to decipher membrane 3D architecture and mitochondrial dynamics at the nanoscale. This study builds a bridge between the photoconversion and photoswitching properties of probes undergoing directed photooxidation and shows the versatility and efficacy of this mechanism in advanced live imaging.

Abstract
Fluorescence lifetime imaging has been a powerful tool for biomedical research. Recently, fluorescence lifetime-based multiplexing imaging has expanded imaging channels by using probes that harbor the same spectral channels and distinct excited state lifetime. While it is desirable to control the excited state lifetime of any given fluorescent probes, the rational control of fluorescence lifetimes remains a challenge. Herein, we chose boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) as a model system and provided chemical strategies to regulate the fluorescence lifetime of its derivatives with varying spectral features. We find electronegativity of structural substituents at the 8' and 5' positions is important to control the lifetime for the green-emitting and red-emitting BODIPY scaffolds. Mechanistically, such influences are exerted via the photo-induced electron transfer and the intramolecular charge transfer processes for the 8' and 5' positions of BODIPY, respectively. Based on these principles, we have generated a group of BODIPY probes that enable imaging experiments to separate multiple targets using fluorescence lifetime as a signal. In addition to BODIPY, we envision modulation of electronegativity of chemical substituents could serve as a feasible strategy to achieve rational control of fluorescence lifetime for a variety of small molecule fluorophores.

Abstract
Herein, we report a direct meso-methyl amination of BODIPY dyes by C(sp3)-N(sp3) bond formation using PIDA as an oxidant with a wide range of aliphatic secondary amines. This metal free cross dehydrogenative coupling reaction is regiospecific at the meso-methyl position of BODIPY in the presence of C1, C3, C5, and C7 methyl groups. Detailed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallographic studies were performed to establish the reaction mechanism and the regiospecificity of the reaction. Finally, the photophysical and electrochemical properties of the newly synthesized dyes were evaluated and rationalized.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis and sensing characteristics of 4,4'-methoxy-substituted BODIPY fluorescent probes (O-BODIPYs) 3, 4 and 5 equipped with differently sized benzo-crown ethers (cf. Scheme 1, 3 (benzo-15-crown-5), 4 (benzo-18-crown-6) and 5 (benzo-21-crown7)). O-BODIPYs 3, 4 and 5 exhibited in comparison to their known F-BODIPY analogues 3a, 4a and 5a (cf. Scheme 1) an improved solubility in aqueous medium and higher fluorescence quantum yields. Fluorometric study in aqueous solutions of 3, 4 and 5 in the presence of different cations show cation induced fluorescence enhancements (FE). Compared to the benzo-crown ether substituted F-BODIPY analogues 3a, 4a and 5a, we found for the free O-BODIPYs 3, 4 and 5 higher fluorescence quantum yields (φf) but lower cation induced FEs. We show that in aqueous medium the fluorescence quenching process (OFF switching), a photoinduced electron transfer, in O-BODIPYs 3, 4 and 5 is less effective and consequently sensitive and selective ON switching of the fluorescence by cations, too. Albeit these observations the novel benzo-21-crown-7 equipped fluorescent probe 5 exhibits a good fluorometric Ba2+ selectivity and Ba2+ sensitivity in conjunction to their aqueous solubility.

Abstract
Novel BODIPY derivatives possessing different styryl substituents were synthesized using different methods of Knoevenagel-type condensation with conventional heating and microwave radiation in two conditions. Microwave-assisted synthesis significantly reduces reaction time while enhancing its efficiency. The introduction of styryl substituents at the 3 and 5 positions of the BODIPY core resulted in a substantial bathochromic shift, which was affected by the substituents within styryl groups. Depending on the solvents, the BODIPY with unsubstituted styryl groups possesses absorption maxima (λAbs) between 616 and 626 nm. While the analogs containing electron-donating methoxy and methylthio groups exhibited bathochromically shifted bands with λAbs values in the 633-654 nm range. Fluorescence studies revealed intensive emission of tested BODIPYs with fluorescence quantum yields at the 0.41-0.83 range. On the other hand, singlet oxygen quantum yields were very low. In the electrochemical studies, the CV and DPV scans showed the presence of three redox processes. The calculated electrochemical gaps were in the range of 1.71-1.87 V.

Abstract
Direct structural modification of small-molecule fluorophores represents a straightforward and appealing strategy for accessing new fluorescent dyes with desired functionalities. We report herein a general and efficient visible-light-mediated method for the direct C-H functionalization of BODIPY, an important fluorescent chromophore, using readily accessible and bench-stable aryl and alkenylthianthrenium salts. This practical approach operates at room temperature with extraordinary site-selectivity, providing a step-economical means to construct various valuable aryl- and alkenyl-substituted BODIPY dyes. Remarkably, this protocol encompasses a broad substrate scope and excellent functional-group tolerance, and allows for the modular synthesis of sophisticated symmetrical and asymmetrical disubstituted BODIPYs by simply employing different combinations of thianthrenium salts. Moreover, the late-stage BODIPY modification of complex drug molecules further highlights the potential of this novel methodology in the synthesis of fluorophore-drug conjugates.

Abstract
Photocages, also known as photoactivated protective groups (PPGs), have been utilized to achieve controlled release of target molecules in a non-invasive and spatiotemporal manner. In the past decade, BODIPY fluorophores, a well-established class of fluorescent dyes, have emerged as a novel type of photoactivated protective group capable of efficiently releasing cargo species upon irradiation. This is due to their exceptional properties, including high molar absorption coefficients, resistance to photochemical and thermal degradation, multiple modification sites, favorable uncaging quantum yields, and highly adjustable spectral properties. Compared to traditional photocages that mainly absorb UV light, BODIPY-based photocages that absorb visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) light offer advantages such as deeper tissue penetration and reduced bio-autofluorescence, making them highly suitable for various biomedical applications. Consequently, different types of photoactivated protective groups based on the BODIPY skeleton have been established. This highlight provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies employed to construct BODIPY photocages by substituting leaving groups at different positions within the BODIPY fluorophore, including the meso-methyl position, boron position, 2,6-position, and 3,5-position. Furthermore, the application of these BODIPY photocages in biomedical fields, such as fluorescence imaging and controlled release of active species, is discussed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that has been proposed to be a key signaling molecule in migraine. Migraine is a neurological disorder that is linked to irregular NO levels, which necessitates precise NO quantification for effective diagnosis and treatment. This work introduces a novel fluorescent probe, 2,3-diaminonaphthelene-1,4-dione (DAND), which was designed and synthesized to selectively detect NO in-vitro and in-vivo as a migraine biomarker. DAND boasts high aqueous solubility, biocompatibility, and facile synthesis, which enable highly selective and sensitive detection of NO under physiological conditions. NO reacts with diamine moieties (recognition sites) of DAND, results in the formation of a highly fluorescent product (DAND-NO) known as 1H-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole-4,9-dione at λem 450 nm. The fluorescence turn-on sensing mechanism operates through an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. To maximize fluorescence signal intensity, parameters including DAND concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time and pH were systematically optimized for sensitive and precise NO determination. The enhanced detection capability (LOD = 0.08 μmol L-1) and high selectivity of the probe make it a promising tool for NO detection in brain tissue homogenates. This demonstrates the potential diagnostic value of the probe for individuals suffering from migraine. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the potential role of zolmitriptan (ZOLM), an antimigraine medication, in modulating NO levels in the brain of rats with nitroglycerin-induced migraine, emphasizing its significant impact on reducing NO levels. The obtained results could have significant implications for understanding how ZOLM affects NO levels and may aid in the development of more targeted and effective migraine treatment strategies.

Abstract
Phthalocyanines play fundamental roles as electron-acceptors in many different fields; thus, the study of structural features affecting electron-accepting properties of these macrocycles is highly desirable. A series of low-symmetry zinc(II) phthalocyanines, in which one, three, or four benzene rings were replaced for pyrazines, was prepared and decorated with electron-neutral (alkylsulfanyl) or strongly electron-withdrawing (alkylsulfonyl) groups to study the role of the macrocyclic core as well as the effect of peripheral substituents. Electrochemical studies revealed that the first reduction potential (Ered1) is directly proportional to the number of pyrazine units in the macrocycle. Introduction of alkylsulfonyl groups had a very strong effect and resulted in a strongly electron-deficient macrocycle with Ered1 = -0.48 V vs SCE (in THF). The efficiency of intramolecular-charge transfer (ICT) from the peripheral bis(2-methoxyethyl)amine group to the macrocycle was monitored as a decrease in the sum of ΦΔ + ΦF and correlated well with the determined Ered1 values. The strongest quenching by ICT was observed for the most electron-deficient macrocycle. Importantly, an obvious threshold at -1.0 V vs SCE was observed over which no ICT occurs. Disclosed results may substantially help to improve the design of electron-donor systems based on phthalocyanines.

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of the development of atherosclerosis (AS) is key to the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, existing laboratory approaches lack sensitivity and specificity, mostly due to the dearth of reliable AS biomarkers. Herein, we developed an in vivo fluorescent labeling strategy that allows specific staining of the foam cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in atherosclerotic plaques, which are released into the blood as circulating biomarkers for in vitro detection of AS. This strategy relies on a self-assembled nanoprobe that could recognize foam cells specifically, where the probe is degraded by the intracellular HClO to produce a trifluoromethyl-bearing boron-dipyrromethene fluorophore (termed B-CF3), a lipophilic dye that can be transferred to the exosomal membranes. These circulating B-CF3-stained EVs can be detected directly on a fluorescence spectrometer or microplate reader without resorting to any sophisticated analytical method. This liquid-biopsy format enables early detection and real-time differentiation of lesion vulnerability during AS progression, facilitating effective CVD management.

J Org Chem 2024; 89:4702-4711. [PMID: 38502009 PMCID: PMC11002825 DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.3c02951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
A new atom-economical synthesis of β-alkenyl-substituted BODIPYs via indium(III)-catalyzed intermolecular alkyne hydroarylation with meso-substituted BODIPYs is described. While catalysis with InI3 allows the double β-functionalization of BODIPY, resulting in regioselectively branched β,β'-disubstituted alkenyl BODIPYs, catalytic InCl3 enables the formation of linear β-substituted alkenyl BODIPYs. Subsequent In(III)-catalyzed intermolecular alkyne hydroarylation allows the synthesis of unsymmetrical push-pull BODIPY derivatives. Therefore, indium catalysis offers complementary regioselectivity in good chemical yields and functional group tolerance. The resulting BODIPY dyes displayed bathochromically shifted absorption and emission according to the electron-nature of the substituents in the alkenyl moiety with high molar extinction coefficients (ε up to 88,200 M-1 cm-1) and quantum yields (0.14-0.96).

Abstract
Phenoxazines have sparked a lot of interest owing to their numerous applications in material science, organic light-emitting diodes, photoredox catalyst, dye-sensitized solar cells and chemotherapy. Among other things, they have antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimalarial, anti-alzheimer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties. Actinomycin D, which contains a phenoxazine moiety, functions both as an antibiotic and anticancer agent. Several research groups have worked on various structural modifications over the years in order to develop new phenoxazines with improved properties. Both phenothiazines and phenoxazines have gained prominence in medicine as pharmacological lead structures from their traditional uses as dyes and pigments. Organoelectronics and material sciences have recently found these compounds and their derivatives to be quite useful. Due to this, organic synthesis has been used in an unprecedented amount of exploratory alteration of the parent structures in an effort to create novel derivatives with enhanced biological and material capabilities. As a result, it is critical to conduct more frequent reviews of the work done in this area. Various stages of the synthetic transformation of phenoxazine scaffolds have been depicted in this article. This article aims to provide a state of the art review for the better understanding of the phenoxazine derivatives highlighting the progress and prospects of the same in medicinal and material applications.

Abstract
A two-photon near infrared (NIR) fluorescence turn-on sensor with high selectivity and sensitivity for Zn2+ detection has been developed. This sensor exhibits a large Stokes' shift (∼300 nm) and can be excited from 900 to 1000 nm, with an emission wavelength of ∼785 nm, making it ideal for imaging in biological tissues. The sensor's high selectivity for Zn2+ over other structurally similar cations, such as Cd2+, makes it a promising tool for monitoring zinc ion levels in biological systems. Given the high concentration of zinc in thrombi, this sensor could provide a useful tool for in vivo thrombus imaging.

Abstract
A new structurally simple fluorescent CP probe based on chromone was designed and synthesized, and its structure was fully characterized using various analytical techniques. The CP probe displays a high selectivity and sensitivity for sensing Fe3+ with a "turn-off" fluorescence response over other metal ions in a DMSO/H2O (4:1, v/v) solution. The experiment results show that the CP probe is stable over a wide pH range of 2.0-12.0. The detection limit for Fe3+ was calculated to be 0.044 μmol•L-1. The molar ratio method indicated that the binding mode between the CP probe and Fe3+ is a 1:1 complex formation. HR-MS and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were also performed to further confirm the recognition mechanism. Both fluorescence imaging experiments and the MTT assay demonstrated that the CP probe was suitable for detecting intracellular Fe3+ and no significant cytotoxicity in living cells.

Abstract
The detection of fluoride ions in water and other sources is crucial because they can harm human health if they exceed the safe limit of 1-1.5 ppm. BODIPY (boron dipyrromethene) dyes are promising fluorophores for chemosensors, and their design and modification have attracted a lot of attention. Their advantages include visible light excitation and emission, high molar absorption coefficients (ε) and fluorescence quantum yields [ϕ (λ)], and flexible scaffold manipulation for various applications. In this article, we review the progress of BODIPY-based sensors for fluoride ions from the early 2000s to the present. We focus on the different scaffold modifications of the sensors and their corresponding responses, as well as the underlying photophysical mechanisms and potential uses of each sensor.

Abstract
Recently, we described synthetic sulfolipids named Sulfavants as a novel class of molecular adjuvants based on the sulfoquinovosyl-diacylglycerol skeleton. The members of this family, Sulfavant A (1), Sulfavant R (2), and Sulfavant S (3), showed important effects on triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2)-induced differentiation and maturation of human dendritic cells (hDC), through a novel cell mechanism underlying the regulation of the immune response. As these molecules are involved in biological TREM2-mediated processes crucial for cell survival, here, we report the synthesis and application of a fluorescent analogue of Sulfavant A bearing the 4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene moiety (Me4-BODIPY). The fluorescent derivative, named PB-SULF A (4), preserving the biological activity of Sulfavants, opens the way to chemical biology and cell biology experiments to better understand the interactions with cellular and in vivo organ targets and to improve our comprehension of complex molecular mechanisms underlying the not fully understood ligand-induced TREM2 activity.

Abstract
Fluorophores are considered powerful tools for not only enabling the visualization of cell structures, substructures, and biological processes, but also making for the quantitative and qualitative measurement of various analytes in living systems. However, most fluorophores do not meet the diverse requirements for biological applications in terms of their photophysical and biological properties. Hybridization is an important strategy in molecular engineering that provides fluorophores with complementarity and multifunctionality. This review summarizes the basic strategies of hybridization with four classes of fluorophores, including xanthene, cyanine, coumarin, and BODIPY with a focus on their structure-property relationship (SPR) and biological applications. This review aims to provide rational hybrid ideas for expanding the reservoir of knowledge regarding fluorophores and promoting the development of newly produced fluorophores for applications in the field of life sciences.

Abstract
We report a rapid, efficient, and scope-extensive approach for the late-stage electrochemical diselenation of BODIPYs. Photophysical analyses reveal red-shifted absorption - corroborated by TD-DFT and DLPNO-STEOM-CCSD computations - and color-tunable emission with large Stokes shifts in the selenium-containing derivatives compared to their precursors. In addition, due to the presence of the heavy Se atoms, competitive ISC generates triplet states which sensitize 1 O2 and display phosphorescence in PMMA films at RT and in a frozen glass matrix at 77 K. Importantly, the selenium-containing BODIPYs demonstrate the ability to selectively stain lipid droplets, exhibiting distinct fluorescence in both green and red channels. This work highlights the potential of electrochemistry as an efficient method for synthesizing unique emission-tunable fluorophores with broad-ranging applications in bioimaging and related fields.

Abstract
Anion sensing via either optical or electrochemical readouts has separately received enormous attention, however, a judicious combination of the advantages of both modalities remains unexplored. Toward this goal, we herein disclose a series of novel, redox-active, fluorescent, halogen bonding (XB) and hydrogen bonding (HB) BODIPY-based anion sensors, wherein the introduction of a ferrocene motif induces remarkable changes in the fluorescence response. Extensive fluorescence anion titration, lifetime and electrochemical studies reveal anion binding-induced emission modulation through intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PET), the magnitude of which is dependent on the nature of both the XB/HB donor and anion. Impressively, the XB sensor outperformed its HB congener in terms of anion binding strength and fluorescence switching magnitude, displaying significant fluorescence turn-OFF upon anion binding. In contrast, redox-inactive control receptors display a turn-ON response, highlighting the pronounced impact of the introduction of the redox-active ferrocene on the optical sensing performance. Additionally, the redox-active ferrocene motif also serves as an electrochemical reporter group, enabling voltammetric anion sensing in competitive solvents. The combined advantages of both sensing modalities were further exploited in a novel, proof-of-principle, fluorescence spectroelectrochemical anion sensing approach, enabling simultaneous and sensitive read out of optical and electrochemical responses in multiple oxidation states and at very low receptor concentration.

Abstract
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Parkinson's Disease (PD) represent two among the most frequent neurodegenerative diseases worldwide. A common hallmark of these pathologies is the misfolding and consequent aggregation of amyloid proteins into soluble oligomers and insoluble β-sheet-rich fibrils, which ultimately lead to neurotoxicity and cell death. After a hundred years of research on the subject, this is the only reliable histopathological feature in our hands. Since AD and PD are diagnosed only once neuronal death and the first symptoms have appeared, the early detection of these diseases is currently impossible. At present, there is no effective drug available, and patients are left with symptomatic and inconclusive therapies. Several reasons could be associated with the lack of effective therapeutic treatments. One of the most important factors is the lack of selective probes capable of detecting, as early as possible, the most toxic amyloid species involved in the onset of these pathologies. In this regard, chemical probes able to detect and distinguish among different amyloid aggregates are urgently needed. In this article, we will review and put into perspective results from ex vivo and in vivo studies performed on compounds specifically interacting with such early species. Following a general overview on the three different amyloid proteins leading to insoluble β-sheet-rich amyloid deposits (amyloid β1-42 peptide, Tau, and α-synuclein), a list of the advantages and disadvantages of the approaches employed to date is discussed, with particular attention paid to the translation of fluorescence imaging into clinical applications. Furthermore, we also discuss how the progress achieved in detecting the amyloids of one neurodegenerative disease could be leveraged for research into another amyloidosis. As evidenced by a critical analysis of the state of the art, substantial work still needs to be conducted. Indeed, the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases is a priority, and we believe that this review could be a useful tool for better investigating this field.

Abstract
Cyclic azobenzene-BODIPY hybrids were synthesized via cyclization by 1) acid-catalysed condensation of azobenzene-bridged dipyrroles with 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzaldehyde, 2) oxidation with DDQ, and 3) metalation with BF3 ⋅ Et2 O. The structures of many cyclic hybrids have been confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. The absorption spectra of the hybrids reveal the effective cyclic conjugation. The ultrafast measurements reveal that the photoexcited decays of these cyclic hybrids depend upon the ring size and connectivity.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic systems are highly important to numerous applications, in particular to organic electronics and optoelectronics. High-throughput screening and generative models that can help to identify new molecules to advance these technologies require large amounts of high-quality data, which is expensive to generate. In this report, we present the largest freely available dataset of geometries and properties of cata-condensed poly(hetero)cyclic aromatic molecules calculated to date. Our dataset contains ~500k molecules comprising 11 types of aromatic and antiaromatic building blocks calculated at the GFN1-xTB level and is representative of a highly diverse chemical space. We detail the structure enumeration process and the methods used to provide various electronic properties (including HOMO-LUMO gap, adiabatic ionization potential, and adiabatic electron affinity). Additionally, we benchmark against a ~50k dataset calculated at the CAM-B3LYP-D3BJ/def2-SVP level and develop a fitting scheme to correct the xTB values to higher accuracy. These new datasets represent the second installment in the COMputational database of Polycyclic Aromatic Systems (COMPAS) Project.

Abstract
A small series of simple pyrazoline and pyrazole based sensors, all derived from the same chalcone precursors, were synthesised, characterised and screened for their fluorescence "turn on" properties in the presence of multiple metals. Pyrazole 8 displayed an excellent fluorescence profile with approx. 20× fold increase in λem 480 nm with Zn2+ compared to a 2.5× fold increase with Cd2+. Pyrazole 9 displayed a 30× fold increase at λem 465 nm for Fe3+ compared to Fe2+ with a Fe3+ limit of detection of 0.025 μM. The corresponding pyrazolines displayed contrasting properties with important implications for future pyrazoline and pyrazole sensor design.

Abstract
Combination of cysteine-containing peptides with electrophiles provides efficient access to cyclo-organopeptides. However, there are no routes to intrinsically fluorescent cyclo-organopeptides containing robust, brilliant fluorophores emitting at wavelengths longer than cellular autofluorescence. We show such fluorescent cyclo-organopeptides can be made via SNAr reactions of cysteine-containing peptides with a BODIPY system. Seven compounds of this type were prepared to test as probes; six contained peptide sequences corresponding to loop regions in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophic factor 4 (BDNF and NT-4) which bind tropomyocin receptor kinase B (TrkB). Cellular assays in serum-free media indicated two of the six key compounds induced survival of HEK293 cells stably transfected with TrkB whereas a control did not. The two compounds inducing cell survival bound TrkB on those cells (Kd ∼40 and 47 nM), illustrating how intrinsically fluorescent cyclo-organopeptides can be assayed for quantifiable binding to surface receptors in cell membrane environments.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) as one most abundant thiol, acts as important roles in regulating cellular redox activities, and various diseases are closely related with its abnormal levels. Thus, monitoring intracellular GSH levels is essential for understanding cellular metabolism of many related diseases. In this work, we firstly reported a new fluorescence turn-on sensor, which was capable of selectively, sensitively and rapid sensing GSH over other thiols, especially cysteine and homocysteine in solutions and living cells. A meso-aryltellurium boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) was firstly designed and synthesized, which showed silenced emission due to an efficient photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process from electron-rich Te to BODIPY, and then upon exposure to GSH, the meso-Te-C bond could be rapidly cleaved by the thiol group of GSH, thus resulting in an obvious fluorescence "turn-on" phenomenon through inhibition of the PET effect. This probe exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards GSH with a short response time of 2 min, showing a remarkable fluorescence enhancement observed at 541 nm with a large fluorescence quantum yield increase from nearly 0 to 0.73 upon excitation at 500 nm in PBS/CH3CN (9/1, v/v). The detection limit towards GSH was further calculated to be 1.7 nM by the linear fluorescence change at 541 nm in the GSH-concentration ranging from 0 to 4 μM. Furthermore, its sensing mechanism was validated by using mass spectrometry, confirming the rapid cleavage of the Te-C bond by GSH. Finally, cell imaging experiments demonstrated that this probe could successfully detect GSH in living cells, highlighting its potential for rapid and sensitive detection of intracellular GSH level changes. Therefore, a new meso-aryltellurium-BODIPY fluorescence turn-on sensor was firstly developed, which could selectively, sensitively and fast detect cellular GSH over other thiols based on the rapid cleavage of the meso Te-C bond.

Abstract
Stable organic radical molecules have received extensive attention due to their unique electronic structure and photophysical properties, and the highly fluorescent quantum efficiency has great appeal to bioimaging. However, still scarce reports on the application of them on the therapy of tumors, especially theranostics. Here, 3,6-dibromocarbazole modified tris (2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) methane radical (TB) has been synthesized with high NIR fluorescence quantum efficiency, and free radical nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared using the precursor of the radical doping strategy. The free radical molecule TB and its precursor molecule HTB were mixed in proportion and encapsulated with an amphiphilic polypeptide (PEG-PAsp) to obtain the NPs. The 4% NPs can achieve a high fluorescence quantum efficiency (18.68%) in the NIR region. In addition, the NPs also have a good ability to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) under either normoxia or hypoxia conditions, which makes it possible for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Interestingly, the NPs also show preferable photothermal ability (PCE = 42.39%) for photothermal therapy (PTT). Both in vitro and in vivo studies reveal that the as-prepared radical NPS show a NIR fluorescence imaging-guided synergistic PTT and type I/II PDT to tumors. It provides new strategies and new clues for the application of free radical molecules in the theranostics of tumors.

Abstract
Dye-dye conjugates have attracted significant interest for their utility in applications such as bioimaging, theranostics, and light-harvesting. Many classes of organic dyes have been employed in this regard; however, building blocks don't typically extend beyond small chromophores. This can lead to minor changes to the optoelectronic properties of the original dye. The exploration of dye-dye structures is impeded by long synthetic routes, incompatible synthetic conditions, or a mismatch of the desired properties. Here, we present the first-of-their-kind dye-dye conjugates of boron difluoride complexes of formazanate and dipyrromethene ligands. These conjugates exhibit dual photoluminescence bands that reach the near-infrared spectral region and implicate anti-Kasha processes. Cyclic voltammetry experiments revealed the generation of polyanionic species that can reversibly tolerate the uptake of up to 6 electrons. Ultimately, we demonstrate that BF2 formazanates can serve as a synthetically accessible platform to build upon new classes of dye-dye conjugates.

Abstract
Fluorescence microscopy has proven to be a crucial powerful tool to specifically visualize cellular organelles. In-depth visualization of the structure of mitochondria in living cells is of great value to better understand their function. Herein, based on our experience in construction of fluorescent difluoroboronate anchored acylhydrazones (BOAHY) chromophores, we rationally designed a novel monoboron complex with a connected triphenylphosphonium moiety, and evaluated its spectroscopic properties, cytotoxicity and intracellular localization. Owing to the positive charge on our fluorescent dye, the molecule had an excellent mitochondria-targeting ability (Pearson's correlation is 0.86).To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a BOAHY dye which has been applied as an efficient tracker to target mitochondria in living cells.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a notable surge of interest in the fields of organic and pharmaceutical research about photocatalysts (PCs) and photosensitizers (PSs). In this study, a 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) molecule adorned with quaternary ammonium (TMB) functionality was meticulously designed and synthesized. This compound has remarkable characteristics such as exceptional water solubility, great optical qualities, and commendable photostability. It can form a 1:1 complex (TMB-CB[7]) with cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) through host-guest interactions in the aqueous solution and shows obvious fluorescence enhancement. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) including superoxide anion radical (O2·-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) generation ability of TMB-CB[7] were promoted compared with that of TMB in the aqueous solution. More interestingly, the ROS generated from TMB-CB[7] can be used as PCs for aerobic cross dehydrogenation coupling reactions and photooxidation reactions in water with high yields of 89 and 95%, respectively. Therefore, the utilization of a host-guest PS presents a novel and environmentally friendly approach for conducting photocatalyzed organic processes under ambient conditions using visible light.

Abstract
An asymmetric aza-BODIPY analogue bearing quinoxaline moiety was synthesized via a titanium tetrachloride-mediated Schiff-base-forming reaction of 6,7-dimethyl-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-dione and benzo[d]thiazol-2-amine. This novel aza-BODIPY analogue forms a complementary hydrogen-bonded dimer due to the quinoxaline moiety in the crystal structure. It also shows intense absorption and fluorescence, with fluorescence quantum yields close to unity. The electrochemical measurements and the DFT calculations revealed the presence of the low-lying HOMO, which benefits their potential applications as an electron-transporting material.

Abstract
The functionalization of π-conjugated scaffolds with sterically demanding substituents is a widely used tactic to suppress cofacial (H-type) stacking interactions, which may even inhibit self-assembly. Contrary to expectations, we demonstrate herein that increasing steric effects can result in an enhanced thermodynamic stability of H-type supramolecular polymers. In our approach, we have investigated two boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes with bulky phenyl (2) and mesityl (3) meso-substituents and compared their self-assembly in nonpolar media with that of a parent meso-methyl BODIPY 1 lacking bulky groups. While the enhanced steric demand induces pathway complexity, the superior thermodynamic stability of the H-type pathways can be rationalized in terms of additional enthalpic gain arising from intermolecular C-H⋅⋅⋅F-B interactions of the orthogonally arranged aromatic substituents, which overrule their inherent steric demand. Our findings underline the importance of balancing competing non-covalent interactions in self-assembly.

Abstract
Through a strong oxidant Pb(OAc)4 promoted oxidative nucleophilic hydrogen substitution, site-selective direct and stepwise cyanation of BODIPYs using tetrabutylammonium cyanide was developed to give α-cyanated BODIPY derivatives. Characterization of optical and electrochemical properties of these dyes provides substantial enhancement of the electron affinity, with a reduction potential and LUMO level as low as -0.04 V and -4.43 eV, respectively. Radical anions of these electron-deficient 3,5-dicyanated BODIPYs were characterized by absorption and EPR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The synthesis of several new compounds containing a chromophore and a helicenic moiety is reported. The preparation, characterisation and some physico-chemical studies are detailed. In particular, the two enantiomers of several chiral molecules of this type were separated by chiral HPLC (both analytically and in a preparative way) and their racemisation rates were determined for short-lived species. Electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and circular polarised luminescence (CPL) measurements were performed for the compounds with a very long racemisation half-life. Chiral porphyrins and Bodipys both gave ECD and CPL responses over a large area of the visible spectrum.

Abstract
BODIPYs are bicyclic aromatic compounds with unique spectroscopic, photophysical, and chemical properties. This study aimed to find BODIPYs with characteristics biocompatible with human cell lines for possible use as imaging agents. Six BODIPY derivatives were synthesised with groups linked to boron, fluorine, phenol, or catechol, resulting in compounds with different physicochemical characteristics. NMR, absorption, and emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry were subsequently used to characterise them. Afterwards, the biocompatibility of these compounds was evaluated using MTT, SRB, and cellular uptake assays in A549 and H1299 cell lines. Furthermore, a haemolysis assay was performed on human blood cells. To summarise the main results, BODIPYs 1 to 4 showed considerable fluorescence. In contrast, BODIPYs 5 and 6 showed very weak fluorescence, which could be related to the presence of the catechol group and its quenching properties. Regarding biocompatibility, all compounds had metabolic activity and viability above 80% and 70%, respectively. BODIPYs 3 and 6 presented the most consistent data, demonstrating good uptake and, in general, haemolytic activity below 25%. In conclusion, the cytotoxic effects of the compounds were not considerable, and the presence of cyclic alkoxides in BODIPYs 3 and 6 may introduce exciting features that should be highlighted for dual imaging for BODIPY 3 due to its fluorescence or for radioactive labelling in the case of both BODIPYs.

Abstract
A series of BODIPY compounds with a methylphenol substituent at the meso-position and halogen atoms on the BODIPY core, or OCH3 or OAc substituents at the phenolic moiety was synthesized. Their spectral and photophysical properties and the photochemical reactivity upon irradiation in CH3OH were investigated. The molecules with the phenolic substituent at the meso-position undergo more efficient photo-methanolysis at the boron atom, while the introduction of the OCH3 group at the phenolic moiety changes the reaction selectivity towards the cleavage at the meso-position. The introduction of the halogen atoms into the BODIPY increases the photo-cleavage reaction efficiency, as well as the ability of the molecules to sensitize oxygen and form reactive oxygen species (ROS). The efficiency of the ROS formation was measured in comparison with that of tetraphenylporphyrin. The antiproliferative effect of BODIPY molecules was investigated against three human cancer cell lines MCF-7 (breast carcinoma), H460 (lung carcinoma), HCT116 (colon carcinoma), and two non-cancer cell lines, HEK293T (embryonic kindey) and HaCaT (keratinocytes), with the cells kept in the dark or irradiated with visible light. For most of the compounds a modest or no antiproliferative activity was observed for cells in the dark. However, when cells were irradiated, a dramatic increase in cytotoxicity was observed (more than 100-fold), with IC50 values in the submicromolar concentration range. The enhancement of the cytotoxic effect was explained by the formation of ROS, which was studied for cells in vitro. However, for some BODIPY compounds, the effects due to the formation of electrophilic species (carbocations and quinone methides, which react with biomolecules) cannot be disregarded. Confocal fluorescence microscopy images of H460 cells and HEK293T show that the compounds enter the cells and are retained in the cytoplasm and membranes of the various organelles. When the cells treated with the compounds are irradiated, photo-processes lead to cell death by apoptosis. The study performed is important because it provides bases for the development of novel photo-therapeutics capable of exerting photo-cytotoxic effects in both oxygenated and hypoxic cells.

Abstract
Photochemistry related studies have been driven by with the application of new types of photocatalysis. Lately boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) as distinguished chromophore with exceptional photophysical and chemical features has emerged as a viable photosensitizer. Within this context, three new NDI-BODIPY triads (8-10) were synthesized/ characterized and used to investigate the efficiencies of singlet oxygen generation and oxidation of 1,5-dihydroxynapthalene to juglone under visible light. Singlet oxygen generation was determined both via indirect method by using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran as trap molecule and from the characteristic 1O2 phosphorescence at 1270 nm. Also, NDI with BODIPY dyes bearing bromine and iodine atoms were shown to be highly active photocatalysts in which the activities are comparable or higher to the readily available commercial systems where 36% (9) and 66% (10) juglone production was achieved under 15 min. This work may emphasize good example of applying NDI-BODIPY based triads as photocatalysts for a series of important organic transformations.
