Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is not only a well-established toxic gas but also an important small molecule bioregulator in all kingdoms of life. In contemporary biology, H2S is often classified as a "gasotransmitter," meaning that it is an endogenously produced membrane permeable gas that carries out essential cellular processes. Fluorescent probes for H2S and related reactive sulfur species (RSS) detection provide an important cornerstone for investigating the multifaceted roles of these important small molecules in complex biological systems. A now common approach to develop such tools is to develop "activity-based probes" that couple a specific H2S-mediated chemical reaction to a fluorescent output. This Review covers the different types of such probes and also highlights the chemical mechanisms by which each probe type is activated by specific RSS. Common examples include reduction of oxidized nitrogen motifs, disulfide exchange, electrophilic reactions, metal precipitation, and metal coordination. In addition, we also outline complementary activity-based probes for imaging reductant-labile and sulfane sulfur species, including persulfides and polysulfides. For probes highlighted in this Review, we focus on small molecule systems with demonstrated compatibility in cellular systems or related applications. Building from breadth of reported activity-based strategies and application, we also highlight key unmet challenges and future opportunities for advancing activity-based probes for H2S and related RSS.

Abstract
The accurate and effective identification of hydrogen sulfide holds great significance for environmental monitoring. Azide-binding fluorescent probes are powerful tools for hydrogen sulfide detection. We combined the 2'-Hydroxychalcone scaffold with azide moiety to construct probe Chal-N3, the electron-withdrawing azide moiety was utilized to block the ESIPT process of 2'-Hydroxychalcone and quenches the fluorescence. The fluorescent probe was triggered with the addition of hydrogen sulfide, accompanied by great fluorescence intensity enhancement with a large Stokes shift. With excellent fluorescence properties including high sensitivity, specificity selectivity, and wider pH range tolerance, the probe was successfully applied to natural water samples.

Abstract
Merocyanines, thanks to their easily adjustable electronic structure, appear to be the most versatile and promising functional dyes. Their D-π-A framework offers ample opportunities for custom design through variations in both donor/acceptor end-groups and the π-conjugated polymethine chain, and leads to a broad range of practical properties, including noticeable solvatochromism, high polarizability/hyperpolarizabilities, and the ability to sensitize various physicochemical processes. Accordingly, merocyanines are applied and extensively studied in various fields, such as light-converting materials for optoelectronics, nonlinear optics, optical storage, solar cells, fluorescent probes, and antitumor agents in photodynamic therapy. This review encompasses both classical and novel more important publications on the structure-property relationships in merocyanines, with particular emphasis on the results by A. I. Kiprianov and his followers in Institute of Organic Chemistry in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Abstract
The increasing understanding of the intricate relationship between two crucial gasotransmitters nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in biological actions has generated significant interest. However, comprehensive monitoring of the dynamic fluctuations of endogenous NO and H2S remains a challenge. In this study, we have designed an innovative aggregation-induced reporter SAB-NH-SC with enhanced responsiveness to H2S for visualizing the fluctuations of intracellular NO and H2S. This probe leverages the hydrophilic properties of the pyridinium salt derivative, which can rapidly self-assemble into positively charged nanoparticles under physiological conditions, avoiding the introduction of organic solvents or tedious preparations. Notably, the reporter can repeatedly cycle S-nitrosation and SNO-transnitrosation reactions when successively treated with NO and H2S. Consequently, fluorescence alternation at 751 (H2S) and 639 nm (NO) facilitates the dynamic visualization of the alternating presence of H2S and NO within cells. This dynamic and reversible probe holds immense potential for unraveling the intricate interactions between NO and H2S in a complex network of biological applications.

Abstract
Dysregulated production of hydrogen sulphide in the human body has been associated with various diseases including cancer, underlining the importance of accurate detection of this molecule. Here, we report the detection of hydrogen sulphide using fluorescence-emission enhancement of two 1,8-naphthalimide fluorescent probes with an azide moiety in position 4. One probe, serving as a control, featured a methoxyethyl moiety through the imide to evaluate its effectiveness for hydrogen sulphide detection, while the other probe was modified with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) to enable direct covalent attachment to an optical fibre tip. We coated the optical fibre tip relatively homogeneously with the APTES-azide fluorophore, as confirmed via x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The absorption and fluorescence responses of the control fluorophore free in PBS were analysed using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrophotometry, while the fluorescence emission of the APTES-azide fluorophore-coated optical fibres was examined using a simple, low-cost optical fibre-based setup. Both fluorescent probes exhibited a significant increase (more than double the initial value) in fluorescence emission upon the addition of HS- when excited with 405 nm. However, the fluorescence enhancement of the coated optical fibres demonstrated a much faster response time of 2 min (time for the fluorescence intensity to reach 90% of its maximum value) compared to the control fluorophore in solution (30 min). Additionally, the temporal evolution of fluorescence intensity of the fluorophore coated on the optical fibre was studied at two pH values (7.4 and 6.4), demonstrating a reasonable overlap and confirming the compound pH insensitivity within this range. The promising results from this study indicate the potential for developing an optical fibre-based sensing system for HS- detection using the synthesised fluorophore, which could have significant applications in health monitoring and disease detection.

Abstract
Dissolved sulfide tends to species transformation and loss upon leaving the matrix, thus the development of a practical on-site determination of sulfide is crucial for environmental monitoring and human health. In this work, a novel paper-based ratiometric fluorescence sensor was developed for the field analysis of sulfide, which system was constructed by the inner filter effect (IFE) of CdS quantum dots (QDs) toward carbon dots (C-dots). Instead of an aqueous phase system, the conversion of sulfide to its hydride would induce the in-situ formation of CdS QDs on the paper, which acted as an energy acceptor to quench the emission of C-dots, leading to a variation of ratiometric fluorescence from blue to yellow with the increasing concentration of sulfide. Moreover, we proposed a smartphone-based fluorescence capture device integrated with a programmed Python program, accomplishing both color recognition and accurate detection of sulfide. Under the optimal condition, this ratiometric fluorescence sensor allowed for the on-site analysis of sulfide with a limit of detection of 0.05 μM. The accuracy of the sensor was validated via the successful field analysis of environmental water samples with satisfactory recoveries. Compared to other fluorescence methods used for sulfide analysis, this developed system retains the advantages of label-free, low-cost, ease of operation, and miniaturization, showing great potential for the measurement of sulfide on-site, as well as environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Ratiometric fluorescence carbon dots (CDs) that serve as probes have attracted more attention on account of their unique optical properties, low toxicity, anti-interference, and internal reference. However, the facile fabrication of CDs with the aim of detecting multiple targets through mutually independent response channels is always a challenge. Herein, multifunctional label-free N-doped ratiometric fluorescence CDs (N-CDs) are developed from tea leaves extract and o-phenylenediamine by a mild solvothermal method. The prepared N-CDs are tailored with nitrogen- and oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface and contribute to splendid hydrophilia. Two completely independent ratiometric fluorescence channels of N-CDs, respectively, respond to Hg2+ and H2O in a mutually independent manner. Based on the interactions of N-Hg and O-Hg, N-CDs achieve an excellently sensitive and selective detection for Hg2+ in the channel of I387 nm/I351 nm, giving a linear relationship in the range of 0-50 μM. Also, a wide range of Hg2+ concentration (0-100 μM) is linear to A374 nm through UV-vis assay. Otherwise, the linear determination of H2O content (0-30%) is realized in another channel (Igreen/Iblue). The good performance in the independent testing of Hg2+ and H2O, demonstrate that the proposed N-CDs have potential in multifunctional detection.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a one of reactive sulfur species (RSS) that plays significant roles in many physiological processes. While abnormal levels of SO2 in mitochondria have been related to various diseases. Hence, developing suitable fluorescent probe for monitoring SO2 is significant in living organisms. In this research, we designed and synthesized a mitochondrial-target probe Mito-NPH featuring the graft of a strong electron-withdrawing 4-pyridiniumylacrylonitrile unit to an electron-donating naphthalenic unit that intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process happened. The probe Mito-NPH underwent a nucleophilic addition of HSO3-/SO32-to give fluorescent emission signal change from red to blue and exhibited specific response toward HSO3-/SO32-over other analytes. Moreover, Mito-NPH showed ultrafast response rate (within 10 s) for HSO3-. Importantly, cell imaging results demonstrated that the probe can sense endogenous SO2 in mitochondria.

Abstract
As the third gasotransmitter, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes wherein abnormal levels of H2S indicate various diseases. Therefore, an efficient and reliable monitoring of H2S concentration in organisms and living cells is of great significance. Of diverse detection technologies, electrochemical sensors possess the unique advantages of miniaturization, fast detection, and high sensitivity, while the fluorescent and colorimetric ones exhibit exclusive visualization. All these chemical sensors are expected to be leveraged for H2S detection in organisms and living cells, thus offering promising options for wearable devices. In this paper, the chemical sensors used to detect H2S in the last 10 years are reviewed based on the different properties (metal affinity, reducibility, and nucleophilicity) of H2S, simultaneously summarizing the detection materials, methods, linear range, detection limits, selectivity, etc. Meanwhile, the existing problems of such sensors and possible solutions are put forward. This review indicates that these types of chemical sensors competently serve as specific, accurate, highly selective, and sensitive sensor platforms for H2S detection in organisms and living cells.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an essential signaling gas within the cell, and its endogenous levels are correlated with various health diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, Down's syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. Because it plays such diverse biological functions, being able to detect H2S quickly and accurately in vivo is an area of heightened scientific interest. Using probes that fluoresce in the near-infrared (NIR) region is an effective and convenient method of detecting H2S. This approach allows for compounds of high sensitivity and selectivity to be developed while minimizing cytotoxicity. Herein, we report a review on the synthesis, mechanisms, optical properties, and selected biomedical applications of H2S sensors.

Abstract
The last decade has seen an increasingly large number of studies reporting on the development of novel small organic conjugated systems for mitochondrial imaging exploiting optical signal transduction pathways. Mitochondria are known to play a critical role in a number of key biological processes, including cellular metabolism. Importantly, irregularities on their working function are nowadays understood to be intimately linked to a range of clinical conditions, highlighting the importance of targeting mitochondria for therapeutic benefits. In this work we carry out an in-depth evaluation on the progress to date in the field to pave the way for the realization of superior alternatives to those currently existing. The manuscript is structured by commonly used chemical scaffolds and comprehensively covers key aspects factored in design strategies such as synthetic approaches as well as photophysical and biological characterization, to foster collaborative work among organic and physical chemists as well as cell biologists.

Abstract
H2S is an important signal molecule in living systems and related with many physiological processes and diseases. Rapid detection of H2S, hence, is important for studying physiological processes and early diagnosis of diseases. Deep insight into the sensing mechanism is significant and inspiring for the design and modification of high-efficiency H2S probes. The current study has theoretically investigated the recognition and fluorescence mechanism of a newly reported high-efficiency H2S probe. The recognition mechanism is determined to be the reaction between the probe and HS- anion, the rationality of which is further confirmed from the fluorescence property of the recognition product. The non-fluorescence property of the probe attributes to a photoinduced electron transfer process, and the turn-on fluorescence upon exposure to H2S exhibits an intramolecular charge transfer property according to frontier molecular orbital analysis.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 269:120781.

Abstract
A fluorescent probe Hcy-Im bearing an indolium-hemicyanine structure was designed and synthesized to compare its responses to four anions, namely HSO3-, CN-, HS- and ClO-. The results disclosed that Hcy-Im reacted with all these four anions in 5% DMSO-PBS buffer with different speeds and spectral changes. Hcy-Im responded to HSO3- markedly quicker than CN- and HS-, and it responded to CN- a little quicker than HS- while the response to ClO- was much slower than the other three anions. The detection limits for these four anions were calculated to be 0.15 μM, 1.32 μM, 2.07 μM and 2.29 μM, respectively. The characteristic conjugated CN+ and CC bonds in Hcy-Im were responsible for the responses towards these four anions via a Michael addition-rearrangement reaction, a 1, 2-addition reaction or an oxidation reaction. These different sensing mechanisms were verified by 1HNMR and HRMS. Thus, it could be inferred that hemicyanine-based fluorescent probe could detect HSO3- sensitively and selectively while the interference of HSO3- should not be neglected when it was used for the detection of CN-, HS- and ClO-. Moreover, as HSO3-, HS- and ClO- are anions endogenously generated in human bodies, enough attention should be paid to the presence of physiological level of these three anions in certain tissues when hemicyanine-based fluorescent probe is applied for the detection of biorelevant analytes in biological samples.

Abstract
The detection mechanism of fluorescent probe FQ-DNP (DNP: 2,4-dinitropheno) for PhSH and the detailed ESIPT process of its product 2-(6-(diethylamino) quinolin-2-yl)-3-Hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one (FQ-OH) have been revealed by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). For FQ-OH, the decreased bond length of H6-N7 and RDG analysis illustrate that the strength of hydrogen bond H6-N7 has been enlarged after photoexcitation, creating a good condition for ESIPT. To illustrate the ESIPT process in detail, the potential energy curves are performed and the transition state reaction energy is calculated. In the S0 state, the FQ-OH could happen proton transfer (PT) to form keto, but the keto form is more unstable than enol form. After photoexcitation, in the S1 state, FQ-OH could happen PT to produce stable keto form. Excited dynamic simulation shows that PT happens at 71.5 fs. The calculated absorption and emission spectra are in agreement with the experimental data, and the calculated Stokes shift is 160 nm. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) and hole-electron analysis show that twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) is responsible for the fluorescent quenching of FQ-DNP.

Abstract
Based on coumarin and benzopyran derivatives, a dual-wavelength excitation ratiometric fluorescent probe, HABA, was prepared to detect H2S. The HABA probe showed good selectivity and anti-interference abilities during H2S detection. Fluorescence co-localization experiments showed that HABA had excellent localization abilities toward mitochondria and lysosomes. More importantly, HABA can not only detect exogenous H2S, but it can also detect endogenous H2S, indicating that HABA has high application potential and value in the biological field.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a pivotal role in gas signal transduction, neuroprotection, and regulation of physiological and pathological processes. However, in vivo tracking the dynamic of hydrogen sulfide in the complex brain environment still faces huge challenges. This study demonstrates a new potentiometric method to monitor in vivo the dynamics of hydrogen sulfide in the rat brain using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-modified carbon fiber microelectrodes (AgNPs/CFE) pretreated with Na2S (i.e., Ag2S/AgNPs/CFE), which acts as a solid-contact and ion-selective microelectrode. The Ag2S/AgNPs/CFE exhibits good potential response toward hydrogen sulfide in the range of 2.5-160 μM, with a detection limit of 0.8 μM. Because of the presence of Ag2S, the Ag2S/AgNPs/CFE shows good selectivity to hydrogen sulfide, avoiding the interference from coexistent electroactive neurochemicals and the analogies, such as ascorbic acid and cysteine in the central nervous system. This good selectivity combined with the reversibility, protein antifouling, and biocompatibility of the microelectrode enables the Ag2S/AgNPs/CFE to detect hydrogen sulfide in the rat brain during local microinfusion of Na2S and the change in pH. Our study provides a reliable method to track hydrogen sulfide selectively in vivo, which will help to explore the function of hydrogen sulfide in neurophysiology and pathology.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and selectivite detection of copper ions (Cu2+) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have become important research topics due to the potential harmful impacts of these chemicals to human health and the environment. In this study, we report the synthesis of a dual-functional peptide-based probe L (FITC-AhxSerSerHis), designed to mimic a copper-sulfur metalloprotein, and capable of continuous detection of Cu2+ and S2- based on colorimetric and fluorescent methods. The new probe L displayed excellent "turn off" fluorescence response and good selectivity for Cu2+ ions via a modification of the tripeptide and fluorescein isothiocyanate group, and produced an obvious color change visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, as an excitable probe, the L-Cu complex could continuously detect S2- with high selectivity and sensitivity in 100% aqueous buffered solutions. The detection limits for fluorescence titration measurements, calculated using the equation 3σ/k, were 76.7 nM (Cu2+) and 27.2 nM (S2-), which were well below U.S. EPA safety levels. In addition, L could be cycled to alternately detect Cu2+ and S2-, thereby making it a promising reversible probe. Moreover, L was successfully applied to monitoring Cu2+ and S2- in live RKO cells through fluorescence imaging, exhibiting low cytotoxicity and good cell permeability.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), as a hazardous gas, is often found around dump areas. Long term exposure can cause harm to health, it is highly necessary to develop some simple and sensitive methods for on-site H2S detection. Herein, a convenient photothermal assay has been designed for the quantitation of H2S using a handheld thermometer as readout. Au@Ag nanocubes (Au@Ag NCs), a core-shell nanocomposite with strong light absorption at ∼450 nm, was chosen as a novel photothermal agent in this study. Under the laser irradiation at 450 nm, the Au@Ag NCs show a strong photothermal effect, and a significant temperature enhancement can be measured by the thermometer easily. The presence of H2S can lead to the deposition of sulfur onto Au@Ag NCs, altering the localized surface plasmon resonance absorption, size, surface composition, and morphology of Au@Ag NCs and hence leading to the reduction of photothermal effect. The change of the temperature has a linear relationship with the H2S concentration in the range of 0.5-80.0 μM with a detection limit of 0.35 μM. By combining with simple sample purification procedures, the developed method has been applied to detect H2S in garbage odor gas with satisfactory results.

Abstract
A unique fluorescent probe (ZACA) for the monitoring of SO2 derivatives was developed from coumarin and benzoindoles based on FRET and ICT. ZACA exhibited an active emission signal, large Stokes shift, wide emission window distance, and high photostability. It also possessed many advantages in the ratiometric detection of HSO3-/SO32- including low detection limit and high selectivity and sensitivity. Importantly, ZACA was successfully applied in the ratiometric detection of endogenous HSO3-/SO32- in living cells with excellent cellular imaging capability (1 μM) and mitochondria-targeting ability (co-localization coefficient: 0.91).

Abstract
A turn-on spiropyran functionalized fluorescein derivative (FMC) is developed for targeting HS- in mitochondria. FMC exhibits very weak fluorescence at 525 nm under the excitation of 470 nm in aqueous solution due to its colorless spiropyran form; upon addition of HS-, a strong fluorescence enhancement by 6.4-fold is observed with spirocycle-opened merocyanine form and rapid trapping kinetics for HS-. FMC has good biocompatibility and high selectivity towards HS- with a detection limit of 88.2 nM and is very sensitive among the reported H2S fluorescent probes. Moreover, the significant colocalization of FMC with Mito Tracker® Deep Red FM in human laryngeal epidermoid carcinoma (HEp-2) cells and the Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.87 together demonstrate that FMC can target and image the endogenous H2S in the mitochondria of living cells.

Abstract
H2S is actual an endogenous signaling gas molecule and involved in a range of cell physiological processes. However, the mechanism of endogenous H2S regulating autophagy and apoptosis has not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we try to address this issue by using a H2S probe, (E)-2-(4-(4-(7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbonyl)-piperazin-1-yl)-styryl)-1, 3, 3-trimethyl-3H-indol-1-ium iodide (CPC), which could react with endogenous H2S. Herein, we reported that CPC inhibited autophagy and decreased the expression and activity of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), then induced cell apoptosis. CPC inhibited autophagy and promoted apoptosis by inhibiting Nrf2 activation, which was H2S dependent. Furthermore, we found that CPC inhibited Nrf2 nucleus translocation by inhibiting glutathionylation of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) at the Cys434 residue. CPC also inhibited various cancer cell growth, but had no effect on normal cell growth in vitro, and inhibited A549 cancer growth, but did not affect normal angiogenesis in vivo. Therefore, we not only found a new inhibitor of autophagy and Nrf2, but also suggested a novel mechanism that endogenous H2S could regulate autophagy, apoptosis and Nrf2 activity through regulating glutathionylation of Keap1 at the Cys434 residue.

Abstract
As an important biothiol in living cells, cysteine is closely related to oxidative damage in living organisms. Sulfite from cysteine metabolism in living cells plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in an organism, and the unbalance of sulfite in vivo would lead to multiple diseases. Thus the development of a new fluorescent probe for cysteine metabolism is needed urgently in mitochondria which are the main place of cysteine metabolism. Herein we construct a novel targeting mitochondria fluorescent probe CP-K based on the FRET mechanism to visualize sulfite in living MCF-7 cells. Probe CP-K displays a large Stokes shift of 150 nm, a low detection limit (26.3 nM) and "naked eye" detection after the addition of HSO3-. Importantly, it is appropriate for imaging the endogenous sulfite from cysteine metabolism in living cells.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide, known as an environmental pollutant, produced during industrial productions is also a common food additive that is permitted worldwide. In living organisms, sulfur dioxide forms hydrates of sulfite (SO2·H2O), bisulfite (HSO3−) and sulfite (SO32−) under physiological pH conditions; these three exist in a dynamic balance and play a role in maintaining redox balance, further participating in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. On the basis of the differences in nucleophilicity between SO32− and HSO3−, for the first time, we built a mitochondrion-targeted dual-site fluorescent probe (Mito-CDTH-CHO) based on benzopyran for the highly specific detection of SO32− and HSO3− with two diverse emission channels. Mito-CDTH-CHO can discriminatively respond to the levels of HSO3− and SO32−. Besides, its advantages of low cytotoxicity, superior biocompatibility and excellent mitochondrial enrichment ability contribute to the detection and observation of the distribution of sulfur dioxide derivatives in living organisms as well as allowing further studies on the physiological functions of sulfur dioxide. Rational design and sensing mechanism of a dual-site fluorescence probe for HSO3− and SO32−.![]()

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is very important for humans and is involved in many physiological processes. Here, we designed and reported a new naked-eye colorimetric fluorescent probe Z1 for detecting H2S in absolute HEPES solution. The fluorescence intensity, after the reaction of the probe and H2S, is about 32 times that of the probe alone. When the concentration of H2S is 0-100 μM, the detection limit (DL) is rather low at about 0.15 μM (3σ/slope). The response mechanism is based on the leaving of the 2,4-dinitrobenzene moiety, followed by intramolecular cyclization to give a fluorescent iminocoumarin-benzothiazole group. Moreover, Z1 was applied to endogenous and exogenous H2S imaging in living cells. The high overlap coefficient proved that probe Z1 has good ER-tracker localization in living cells.

Abstract
Coumarins are a very large family of compounds containing the unique 2H-chromen-2-one motif, as it is known according to IUPAC nomenclature. Coumarin derivatives are widely found in nature, especially in plants and are constituents of several essential oils. Up to now, thousands of coumarin derivatives have been isolated from nature or produced by chemists. More recently, the coumarin platform has been widely adopted in the design of small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors because of its excellent biocompatibility, strong and stable fluorescence emission, and good structural flexibility. This scaffold has found wide applications in the development of fluorescent chemosensors in the fields of molecular recognition, molecular imaging, bioorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, as well as in the biology and medical science communities. This review focuses on the important progress of coumarin-based small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors during the period of 2012-2018. This comprehensive and critical review may facilitate the development of more powerful fluorescent chemosensors for broad and exciting applications in the future.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a kind of gaseous signal molecule in many physiological processes. In order to detect H2S, a novel "turn on" fluorescent probe 6,12-dihydroxyperylene-1,7-dione (DPD) was designed and synthesized. The probe DPD is fluorescence silence, while the addition of H2S induces an obvious green fluorescence with an obvious color change from dark blue to yellow-green. The probe shows excellent selectivity, fast response (2.5min) and linear curve (0-90μM) in wide effective pH range (4-10). Competition experiments are also revealed in corresponding studies and the detection limit is 3.6μM. The response mechanism is proved to be the reduction of the probe by H2S, which is confirmed by 1H NMR. Furthermore, through the fluorescence turn-on signal toward H2S in Hela cells, probe DPD was successfully applied to monitor H2S in living Hela cells.

Abstract
In this study, we report a sequential and reversibility fluorescent probe (DP5) based on pentapeptide conjugated with dansyl groups using the solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technology. DP5 showed immediate "turn off" response toward Cu2+ ions at an excitation wavelength of 330 nm with detection limits of 23.5 nM. The 2:1 binding ratio between DP5 and Cu2+ were confirmed using Job's plot method and fluorescence titration study, and DP5-Cu complex was observed with an association constant of 6.76 × 108 M-2. As designed, DP5-Cu complex as a promising analytical probe exhibited highly selective for H2S detection in aqueous solutions. The detection limit for H2S was obtained to be 17.2 nM, and lower than EPA and WHO guidelines. In addition, the reversibility and cyclicity were imparted to the DP5 during the detection of Cu2+ and H2S, and cycle effect is very good. Furthermore, DP5 displayed better biocompatibility and low biotoxicity, and sequential fluorescence "on-off-on" responses of DP5 to Cu2+ and H2S were successfully applied in two different living cells.

The dynamic fluctuations of bioactive species in living cells are associated with numerous physiological and pathological phenomena. The emergence of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes has significantly facilitated our understanding on the biological functions of these species. This review describes the design, applications, challenges and potential directions of organelle-targeted bioactive species probes.
Bioactive species, including reactive oxygen species (ROS, including O2˙–, H2O2, HOCl, 1O2, ˙OH, HOBr, etc.), reactive nitrogen species (RNS, including ONOO–, NO, NO2, HNO, etc.), reactive sulfur species (RSS, including GSH, Hcy, Cys, H2S, H2Sn, SO2 derivatives, etc.), ATP, HCHO, CO and so on, are a highly important category of molecules in living cells. The dynamic fluctuations of these molecules in subcellular microenvironments determine cellular homeostasis, signal conduction, immunity and metabolism. However, their abnormal expressions can cause disorders which are associated with diverse major diseases. Monitoring bioactive molecules in subcellular structures is therefore critical for bioanalysis and related drug discovery. With the emergence of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes, significant progress has been made in subcellular imaging. Among the developed subcellular localization fluorescent tools, ROS, RNS and RSS (RONSS) probes are highly attractive, owing to their potential for revealing the physiological and pathological functions of these highly reactive, interactive and interconvertible molecules during diverse biological events, which are rather significant for advancing our understanding of different life phenomena and exploring new technologies for life regulation. This review mainly illustrates the design principles, detection mechanisms, current challenges, and potential future directions of organelle-targeted fluorescent probes toward RONSS.
