PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 303:123171. [PMID: 37487287 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023]
Abstract
A first hexaphenylsilole-based conjugated microporous polymer, termed THPS, was prepared by a Friedel-Crafts arylation reaction of 1,1,2,3,4,5-hexabenylthirole with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine catalyzed by anhydrous aluminium trichloride (AlCl3) in 1,2-dichloroethane. Its Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Langmuir surface area reached up to 1579 and 2081 m2 g-1, and total pore volume and micropore pore volume were severally 0.8325 and 0.7322 cm3 g-1. THPS could fluorescence-sense o-nitrophenol with high sensitivity and selectivity. Its fluorescence quenching constant (KSV) and limits of detection (LODs) were severally 8.32 × 103 L mol-1 and 3.61 × 10-10 mol L-1. The fluorescence quenching of THPS by o-nitrophenol was originated from the combined action of both photo-induced electron transfer mechanism and resonance energy transfer mechanism.

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
Synthetic molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors used in combination with innovative assay protocols hold great potential for the development of robust, low-cost, and fast-responding sensors that are applicable in biofluids (urine, blood, and saliva). Particularly, the development of sensors for metabolites, neurotransmitters, drugs, and inorganic ions is highly desirable due to a lack of suitable biosensors. In addition, the monitoring and analysis of metabolic and signaling networks in cells and organisms by optical probes and chemosensors is becoming increasingly important in molecular biology and medicine. Thus, new perspectives for personalized diagnostics, theranostics, and biochemical/medical research will be unlocked when standing limitations of artificial binders and receptors are overcome. In this review, we survey synthetic sensing systems that have promising (future) application potential for the detection of small molecules, cations, and anions in aqueous media and biofluids. Special attention was given to sensing systems that provide a readily measurable optical signal through dynamic covalent chemistry, supramolecular host-guest interactions, or nanoparticles featuring plasmonic effects. This review shall also enable the reader to evaluate the current performance of molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors in terms of sensitivity and selectivity with respect to practical requirement, and thereby inspiring new ideas for the development of further advanced systems.

Abstract
Homocysteine, cysteine, cysteinyl-glycine, and glutathione are significant biological aminothiols (ATs) that are marker-molecules in Down syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, or have been implicated as risk factors in atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases, and therefore rapid determination of these molecules is desirable. After reduction of the disulfides, a widely used method utilizes derivatization with ammonium 7-fluorobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-4-sulfonate (SBD-F) as a fluorogenic probe prior to reversed-phase HPLC separation followed by fluorescence detection. The traditional HPLC determination of ATs is time consuming and economically expensive. We have developed an ion-pair HPLC method coupled with indirect fluorescence detection after post-column reaction with a 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate derivative of a 3-hydroxyflavone. The accuracy, precision, post-column temperature and residence time, and limit-of-detection were evaluated. Sample throughput and reduced sample preparation time of over an hour for the existing methods to less than 20 minutes for the new method is also demonstrated. No statistical differences in HCy, Cys, or Cys-Gly determinations in plasma samples were observed between our method and the traditional HPLC method.

Abstract
A fluorescent probe, 4-(benzothiazole-2-ylthio)-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (TBT-NBD) was developed for cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy). The reaction mechanism was based on the Cys/Hcy-induced nucleophilic substitution of benzothiazole thioether then Smiles rearrangement reaction to form corresponding amino-nitrobenzoxadiazole, which emitted yellow-green fluorescence and guaranteed the high selectivity for Cys/Hcy over glutathione (GSH). TBT-NBD could detect Cys/Hcy within 5 min in the presence of high concentration of GSH and other amino acids. Moreover, TBT-NBD had been exploited to identify intracellular Cys/Hcy in living cells in light of its low toxicity.

Abstract
Luminescent metal nanoclusters (NCs) are emerging as a new class of functional materials that have rich physicochemical properties and wide potential applications. In recent years, it has been found that some metal NCs undergo aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and an interesting fluorescence-to-phosphorescence (F-P) switching in solutions. However, insights of both the AIE and the F-P switching remain largely unknown. Now, gelation of water soluble, atomically precise Ag9 NCs is achieved by the addition of antisolvent. Self-assembly of Ag9 NCs into entangled fibers was confirmed, during which AIE was observed together with an F-P switching occurring within a narrow time scale. Structural evaluation indicates the fibers are highly ordered. The self-assembly of Ag9 NCs and their photoluminescent property are thermally reversible, making the metal-organic gels good candidates for luminescent ratiometric thermometers.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging, as a commonly used scientific tool, is widely applied in various biomedical and material structures through visualization technology. Highly selective and sensitive luminescent biological probes, as well as those with good water solubility, are urgently needed for biomedical research. In contrast to the traditional aggregation-caused quenching of fluorescence, in the unique phenomenon of aggregation-induced emission (AIE), the individual luminogens have extremely weak or no emissivity because they each have free intramolecular motion; however, when they form aggregates, these components immediately "light up". Since the discovery of "turn-on" mechanism, researchers have been studying and applying AIE in a variety of fields to develop more sensitive, selective, and efficient strategies for the AIE dyes. There are numerous advantages to the use of AIE-based methods, including low background interference, strong contrast, high performance in intracellular imaging, and the ability for long-term monitoring in vivo. In this review, two typical examples of AIEgens, TPE-Cy and TPE-Ph-In, are described, including their structure properties and applications. Recent progress in the biological applications is mainly focused on. Undoubtedly, in the near future, an increasing number of encouraging and practical ideas will promote the development of more AIEgens for broad use in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Discrimination between cysteine and homocysteine at the single-molecule level is achieved within a K238Q mutant aerolysin nanopore, which provides a confined space for high spatial resolution to identify the amino acid difference with a 5'-benzaldehyde poly(dA)4 probe. Our strategy allows potential detection and characterization of various amino acids and their modifications, and provides a crucial step towards developing nanopore protein sequencing devices.

[PMID: 31070260 DOI: 10.1002/med.21595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2019] [Revised: 03/21/2019] [Accepted: 04/18/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Fluorescence imaging is a promising visualization tool and possesses the advantages of in situ response and facile operation; thus, it is widely exploited for bioassays. However, traditional fluorophores suffer from concentration limits because they are always quenched when they aggregate, which impedes applications, especially for trace analysis and real-time monitoring. Recently, novel molecules with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics were developed to solve the problems encountered when using traditional organic dyes, because these new molecules exhibit weak or even no fluorescence when they are in free movement states but emit intensely upon the restriction of intramolecular motions. Inspired by the excellent performances of AIE molecules, a substantial number of AIE-based probes have been designed, synthesized, and applied to various fields to fulfill diverse detection tasks. According to numerous experiments, AIE probes are more practical than traditional fluorescent probes, especially when used in bioassays. To bridge bioimaging and materials engineering, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of the development of AIE bioprobes. It begins with a summary of mechanisms of the AIE phenomenon. Then, the strategies to realize accurate detection using AIE probes are discussed. In addition, typical examples of AIE-active materials applied in diagnosis, treatment, and nanocarrier tracking are presented. In addition, some challenges are put forward to inspire more ideas in the promising field of AIE-active materials.

Abstract
Biological thiols, especially low molecular weight thiols, including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), play a pivotal role in physiological and pathological systems. Thus, the detection of biothiols is highly important for early diagnosis of diseases and evaluation of disease progression. Herein, we developed a highly selective and sensitive ratiometric fluorescent 8-Cl BODIPY-based probe with high fluorescence quantum yields. The probe displayed a sensitive response to Cys and Hcy over other biothiols, which can be visualized colorimetrically and/or fluorescently. The probe was successfully applied to detect Cys in human plasma, demonstrating its great value for practical application in biological sample analysis.

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

Abstract
A long-wavelength fluorescent probe NR-CY was developed for simultaneous identification of cysteine/glutathione and sulphide by combining the derivative of Nile red with 7-nitrobenzofurazan. The response of NR-CY to thiols is regulated by intramolecular charge transfer and photoinduced electron transfer mechanisms. For sulphide at 560 nm, cysteine at 475 nm and glutathione at 425 nm, different absorbance increases can be observed. NR-CY can detect cysteine at fluorescence emission 543 nm and distinguish sulphide from other analytes by kinetic experiments at 636 nm. The probe showed a rapid response to these thiols (cysteine was 90 s and sulphide was 30 s). In addition, NR-CY has been successfully applied to live MCF-7 cell imaging.

Abstract
A novel "turn-on" fluorescent bioprobe, 1,2,3,4,5-penta(4-carboxyphenyl)pyrrole sodium salt (PPPNa), with aggregation-enhanced emission characteristics was synthesized for the in situ quantitative detection of Al3+ in serum. It exhibited a high selectivity to Al3+ in both simulated serum and fetal calf serum with no interferences from other metal ions or serum components observed and no isolation required. A weak interaction between PPPNa and serum albumin was found, which caused no interference, but enhanced fluorescence response of PPPNa to Al3+ and improved detection sensitivity. The limit of detection was determined to be 1.50 μmol/L Al3+ in phosphate-buffered saline solution containing 33 μg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA) and decreased to 0.98 μmol/L as BSA concentration increased to 100 μg/mL. The fluorescence "turn-on" mechanism of the PPPNa probe to detect Al3+ was proposed. A bidentate complex is formed between the carboxy group of PPPNa and Al3+, causing the photoluminescence (PL) emission enhancement by aggregation. BSA chains further strengthen the stacking compactness of the aggregates of PPPNa and Al3+ and consequently enhance the PL emission of PPPNa by further promoting the restriction of intramolecular rotation of the phenyl ring. Its application to the in situ Al3+ was successfully demonstrated with HeLa cells and NIH 3T3 cells. The low cytotoxicity and highly selective response of PPPNa to Al3+ endow its great potentials to in vivo detecting and imaging of Al3+ as well as an absorbent of Al3+.

Abstract
In this work, we used firefly oxyluciferin (OxyLH2) and its polarity-dependent fluorescence mechanism as a sensitive tool to monitor biomolecular interactions. The chromophores, OxyLH2, and its two analogues, 4-MeOxyLH and 4,6'-DMeOxyL, were modified trough carboxylic functionalization and then coupled to the N-terminus part of Tat and NCp7 peptides of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1). The photophysical properties of the labeled peptides were studied in live cells as well as in complex with different oligonucleotides in solution. By monitoring the emission properties of these derivatives we were able, for the first time, to study in vitro biomolecular interactions using oxyluciferin as a sensor. As an additional application, cyclopropyl-oxyluciferin (5,5-Cpr-OxyLH) was site-specifically conjugated to the thiol group (Cys-232) of the human protein α-1 antytripsin to investigate its interaction with porcine pancreatic elastase. Our data demonstrate that OxyLH2 and its derivatives can be used as fluorescence reporters for monitoring biomolecular interactions.

Abstract
A dual mode fluorescent probe, which is based on an integration of fluorescein and coumarin fluorophores, was developed for the discrimination of Cys from Hcy and GSH. This probe (2) shows the advantage of quick reaction (5 min) with Cys, resulting in a strong fluorescence turn-on response when excited at 450 nm. Notably, it also demonstrates the ratiometric fluorescence property while excited by a shorter wavelength (332 nm). All of results suggest probe 2 has a high selectivity toward Cys even in the presence of other amino acids, cations and anions. The detection limit of Cys was calculated as 0.084 μM, which was much lower than the intracellular concentration. 1H NMR, MS and DFT calculation were used to reveal the detection mechanism further. Finally, this low cytotoxic probe was successfully applied in bioimaging within HepG2 cells.

Abstract
While the development of AIE (aggregation-induced-emission) based fluorimetric probes for biological applications has been an active research area, probes with a ratiometric signal for biomolecular recognition have been rare. Here, a ratiometric AIE glyconanoparticle formed by the supramolecular assembly between a silole-based AIEgen and fluorescent glycoprobes for the detection of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides and fibrils, which are a signature of neurological disorders such as the Alzheimer's disease, is shown. Complexation of glycoprobes with the AIEgen produces an intensive fluorescence emission of the former because of a Förster resonance energy transfer between the two molecules. Subsequently, the presence of Aβ dissembles the particle, producing a fluorescence emission of the AIEgen. Interestingly, the addition of lectins that selectively recognize the glycoprobes results in a different ratiometric response of the particle, thereby enabling a discrimination from Aβ detection. This research offers insight into the simple construction of multifunctional ratiometric probes based on the supramolecular hybridization of a wide variety of AIEgens with fluorescent molecular probes.

Abstract
An aggregation-enhanced emission active luminogen named as sodium 4,4'4″-(3,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrole-1,2,5-triyl)tribenzoate (DP-TPPNa) with propeller construction was synthesized and developed as a "turn on" fluorescent probe for in situ quantitation of albumin in blood serum. The DP-TPPNa fluorescence intensity was linearly correlated with the concentration of two serum albumins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA), in pure PBS buffer in the ranges of 2.18-70 and 1.68-100 μg/mL, respectively. The detection limits were as low as 2.18 μg/mL for BSA and 1.68 μg/mL for HSA. The response time of fluorescence to serum albumin (SA) was very short (below 6 s), which achieved real-time detection. It also showed high selectivity to SA because other components in serum barely interfere with the detection of DP-TPPNa to SA, enabling in situ quantitative detection of SA without isolation from serum. DP-TPPNa was successfully applied for the quantitative detection of BSA in fetal bovine serum. The mechanism of fluorescent turn-on behavior was elucidated utilizing an unfolding process induced by guanidine hydrochloride, which revealed a capture process via selective hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding between luminogen and SA.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is a unique and significant photophysical phenomenon that differs greatly from the commonly acknowledged aggregation-caused emission quenching observed for many π-conjugated planar chromophores. The mechanistic decipherment of the AIE phenomenon is of high importance for the advance of new AIE systems and exploitation of their potential applications. Propeller-like 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles are archetypal AIE-active luminogens, and have been adopted as a core part in the design of numerous luminescent materials with diverse functionalities. In this review article, we elucidate the impacts of substituents on the AIE activity and shed light on the structure-property relationship of siloles, with the aim of promoting the judicious design of AIE-active functional materials in the future. Recent representative advances of new silole-based functional materials and their potential applications are reviewed as well.

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

Abstract
Fluorogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics are attracting intense research interest, and an AIE-peptide conjugate strategy has been reported for developing turn-on probes based on hydrophilic peptide ligands. To build a model also suitable for hydrophobic ligands, we propose to fine-tune the AIE characteristics for probe design. In this work, an iconic AIE fluorogen tetraphenylethene (TPE) was designed to conjugate with peptide fragments containing different numbers of aspartic acid (D) units. Relationships between the numbers of D and the hydrophilicity, optical properties, and aggregate sizes and the AIE characteristics of TPE-peptide conjugates were investigated carefully. Five carboxyl groups were found to be the threshold to "turn off" the fluorescence of TPE. As a proof-of-concept, TPE-SS-D5 containing a cleavable disulfide bond was synthesized for thiol turn-on detection. The validated tunable AIE characteristic offers new opportunities to design fluorescence turn-on probes based on hydrophobic recognition elements and AIE fluorogens.

Abstract
"United we stand, divided we fall."--Aesop. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) refers to a photophysical phenomenon shown by a group of luminogenic materials that are non-emissive when they are dissolved in good solvents as molecules but become highly luminescent when they are clustered in poor solvents or solid state as aggregates. In this Review we summarize the recent progresses made in the area of AIE research. We conduct mechanistic analyses of the AIE processes, unify the restriction of intramolecular motions (RIM) as the main cause for the AIE effects, and derive RIM-based molecular engineering strategies for the design of new AIE luminogens (AIEgens). Typical examples of the newly developed AIEgens and their high-tech applications as optoelectronic materials, chemical sensors and biomedical probes are presented and discussed.

Abstract
We report the detection of homocysteine over cysteine based upon characteristic differences between 5- and 6-membered heterocyclic amines formed upon reaction with aldehyde-bearing compounds. Homocysteine-derived thiazinane-4-carboxylic acids are more basic than cysteine-derived thiazolidines-4-carboxylic acids. Fluorescence enhancement in response to homocysteine is achieved by tuning pH and excitation wavelength.
