Abstract
Compounds with a nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) skeleton exhibit prominent useful properties including environmental sensitivity, high reactivity toward amines and biothiols (including H2S) accompanied by distinct colorimetric and fluorescent changes, fluorescence-quenching ability, and small size, all of which facilitate biomolecular sensing and self-assembly. Amines are important biological nucleophiles, and the unique activity of NBD ethers with amines has allowed for site-specific protein labelling and for the detection of enzyme activities. Both H2S and biothiols are involved in a wide range of physiological processes in mammals, and misregulation of these small molecules is associated with numerous diseases including cancers. In this review, we focus on NBD-based synthetic probes as advanced chemical tools for biomolecular sensing. Specifically, we discuss the sensing mechanisms and selectivity of the probes, the design strategies for multi-reactable multi-quenching probes, and the associated biological applications of these important constructs. We also highlight self-assembled NBD-based probes and outline future directions for NBD-based chemosensors. We hope that this comprehensive review will facilitate the development of future probes for investigating and understanding different biological processes and aid the development of potential theranostic agents.

[PMID: 34364484 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) plays important physiological roles in the human body, and abnormal Cys concentrations can cause a variety of diseases. Thus, detecting Cys with high selectivity and sensitivity in vivo is important. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes are widely employed in biological detection because of their excellent optical properties such as minimal damage to biological samples, low background interference and high signal-to-noise ratio. However, few NIR fluorescent probes that can detect Cys over homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) have been reported because of their similar reactivity and structure. In this work, a highly water-soluble NIR probe (CYNA) for detecting Cys whose structure is similar to that of indocyanine green and is based on cyanine skeleton was synthesized and via aromatic nucleophilic substitution-rearrangement (SNAr-rearrangement) to specific recognize the cysteine. The probe showed high selectivity toward Cys and superior biosecurity, excellent biocompatibility and prolonged dynamic imaging. It also has long fluorescence emission wavelength (820 nm), low detection limit (14 nM) and was successfully applied for visualizing Cys in living cells and mice, which has great promise for applications in noninvasive vivo biological imaging and detection.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) and reactive selenium species (RSeS) are important substances for the maintenance of physiological balance. Imbalance of RSS and RSeS is closely related to a series of human diseases, so it is considered to be an important biomarker in early diagnosis, treatment, and stage monitoring. Fast and accurate quantitative analysis of different RSS and RSeS in complex biological systems may promote the development of personalized diagnosis and treatment in the future. One way to explore the physiological function of various types of RSS and RSeS in vivo is to detect them at the molecular level, and one of the most effective methods for this is to use fluorescent probes. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions are commonly exploited as a detection mechanism for RSS and RSeS in fluorescent probes. In this review, we cover recent progress in fluorescent probes for RSS and RSeS based on SNAr reactions, and discuss their response mechanisms, properties, and applications. Benzenesulfonate, phenyl-O ether, phenyl-S ether, phenyl-Se ether, 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD), benzoate, and selenium-nitrogen bonds are all good detection groups. Moreover, based on an integration of different reports, we propose the design and synthesis of RSS- and RSeS-selective probes based on SNAr reactions, current challenges, and future research directions, considering the selection of active sites, the effect of substituents on the benzene ring, and the introduction of other functional groups.

Abstract
A two-component charge transfer (CT) hydrogel has been derived from a supramolecular heteroassembly of a pyrene amino acid conjugate (PyHisOH, donor) with a 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Ox, acceptor) derivative in aqueous medium. The mechanical stiffness, as well as the thermal stability of the CT hydrogels largely depend on the relative ratios of donor and acceptor units as well as on their overall concentration. Moreover, the gel-to-sol transition is found to be susceptible to various external stimuli such as heat, pH, metal ions, etc. Circular dichroism and morphological investigation reveal the formation of left-handed helical fibers in the CT gel network. XRD studies show the lamellar packing of the interactive units in the 3D network of the CT hydrogel. The determination of different rheological parameters confirms the viscoelastic as well as the thixotropic nature of the CT gel. Furthermore, the CT gel is employed for turn-on sensing of biogenic thiols, cyan fluorescence was observed with cysteine/homocysteine, while blue fluorescence with glutathione. Nucleophilic attack at the NBD moiety leads to the formation of thermodynamically stable amino-linked derivatives for cysteine or homocysteine and kinetically controlled thiol-linked adduct for glutathione. Thus, the current system presents a unique opportunity, where a CT hydrogel sample is involved for discriminating biogenic thiols via specific chemodosimetric interactions.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes for biothiols have aroused increasing interest owing to their potential to enable better understanding of the diverse physiological and pathological processes related to the biothiol species. BODIPY fluorophores exhibit excellent optical properties, which can be readily tailored by introducing diverse functional units at various positions of the BODIPY core. In the present review, the development of fluorescent probes based on BODIPYs for the detection of biothiols are systematically summarized, with emphasis on the preferable detection of individual biothiols, as well as simultaneous discrimination among cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), reduced glutathione (GSH). In addition, organelle-targeting probes for biothiols are also highlighted. The general design principles, various recognition mechanisms, and biological applications are elaboratively discussed, which could provide a useful reference to researchers worldwide interested in this area.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) levels are closely related to the homeostasis of redox state which directly affects human disease occurrence by regulating cell apoptosis. Hence, real-time monitoring of dynamic changes in intracellular GSH levels is urgently needed for disease early diagnosis and evaluation of therapy efficiency. In this study, an endogenous cysteine (Cys)-assisted detection system based on GSH@AgNCs and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with high sensitivity and specificity was developed for GSH detection. Compared with GSH, GSH@AgNCs with weaker affinity and bonding force was quite easier to extrude from the rGO surface when competing against GSH, leading to the obvious change in fluorescence signal. This phenomenon was termed as "a crowding out effect". Furthermore, the presence of Cys can improve GSH assay sensitivity by enhancing the quenching efficiency of rGO on the GSH@AgNCs. In vitro assay indicated that the efficiency of fluorescence recovery was positively related with GSH concentration in the range from 0 to 10 mM. In addition, the method was employed for real-time monitoring of the dynamic changes in GSH levels regulated by natural drugs. The imaging results showed that the natural compound 3 (C3) can downregulate GSH levels in HepG2 cells, which was accompanied by reactive oxygen species (ROS) release and apoptosis induction. Finally, the method was used to monitor the change of GSH levels in serum samples with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. The results demonstrated that the occurrence and development of CHB may be positively correlated with GSH levels to some extent. Overall, the above results demonstrate the potential application of this new nanosystem in anticancer natural drug screening and clinical assay regarding GSH levels.

Abstract
BODIPY is an important fluorophores due to its enhanced photophysical and chemical properties including outstanding thermal/photochemical stability, intense absorption/emission profiles, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and small Stokes' shifts. In addition to BODIPY, indole and its derivatives have recently gained attention because of their structural properties and particularly biological importance, therefore these molecules have been widely used in sensing and biosensing applications. Here, we focus on recent studies that reported the incorporation of indole-based BODIPY molecules as reporter molecules in sensing systems. We highlight the rationale for developing such systems and evaluate detection limits of the developed sensing platforms. Furthermore, we also review the application of indole-based BODIPY molecules in bioimaging studies. This article includes the evaluation of indole-based BODIPYs from synthesis to characterization and a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of developed reporter systems, making it instructive for researchers in various disciplines for the design and development of similar systems.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of Cys, Hcy and GSH are associated with various diseases, thus monitoring biothiols is of great significance. In this work, a dual-emission responsive near-infrared fluorescent probe NIR-NBD for detecting Hcy and Cys/GSH was developed based on the conjugation of a dicyanoisophorone based fluorophore (NIR-OH) and 7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD). To our surprise, the addition of Hcy induced significant fluorescence enhancement at both 549 and 697 nm; while Cys/GSH resulted in major fluorescence emission at 697 nm. The detection limit was determined to be 33.2 nM for Cys, 33.5 nM for Hcy, and 34.4 nM for GSH. Therefore, the probe can be used for discriminative detection of Hcy and Cys/GSH. Moreover, fluorescence imaging of HeLa cells indicated that the probe was cell membrane permeable and could be used for visualizing Hcy and Cys/GSH in living cells.

Abstract
Thiophenols are a class of highly toxic environmental pollutant, hence it is very necessary to monitor thiophenols in environment and living cells with an efficient and reliable method. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe for thiophenols has been developed, which exhibited a colorimetric and fluorescence turn-on dual response towards thiophenols with good selectivity and fast response. The sensing mechanism for thiophenols was attributed to nucleophilic substitution reaction, which was confirmed by HPLC. The probe exhibited good recovery (from 90% to 107%) and low limit of detection for thiophenols (37nM) in industrial wastewater. Moreover, the probe has been successfully employed to visualize thiophenol in living cells. Therefore, the fluorescent probe has good capability for monitoring thiophenols in environmental samples and biological systems.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is involved in cellular growth and Cys deficiency is related with many diseases. So far, a number of fluorescent probes have been constructed for the detection of Cys successfully. However, the probes are difficult to discriminate Cys from Hcy and the emission wavelength of the probes is in ultraviolet or visible range. Herein, a NIR fluorescent probe named NIR-BODIPY-Ac is synthesized and used to detect Cys. The emission wavelength of the probe is at 708 nm that belongs to near-infrared (NIR) region by attaching indolium to BODIPY core, which is suitable for bioimaging in vivo. Moreover, the probe exhibits high fluorescence quantum yield (Φ = 0.51) after the addition of Cys and high sensitivity toward Cys with 81-fold fluorescence enhancement. The linear range of the probe for Cys covers from 0.2 to 30 μM with a detection limit of 0.05 μM. Furthermore, the probe shows high selectivity towards Cys owing to the fact that there is more fast reaction rate between the probe and Cys than that of Hcy. In particular, the NIR fluorescent probe is applied for the detection of exogenous and endogenous Cys in biological samples such as cell, tissue and mouse with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) are two of important biological thiols and function as important roles in several biological processes. The development of Cys and Hcy probes will help to explore the functions of biothiols in biological systems. In this work, a new coumarin-based probe AC, containing an acryloyl moiety, was developed for Cys and Hcy detection in cells. Cys and Hcy undergo a nucleophilic addition and subsequent cyclization reaction to remove to the acryloyl group and yield a fluorescent product, 7-hydroxylcomuarin. The probe AC showed good selectivity for cysteine and homocysteine over glutathione and other amino acids and had low detection limits of 65nM for Cys and 79nM for Hcy, respectively. Additionally, confocal imaging experiments demonstrated that the probe AC can be applied to visualize Cys and Hcy in living cells.

Abstract
Aberrant levels of cysteine (Cys) in living cells are closely related to some diseases; thus in situ visualization of intracellular Cys is very helpful for the investigation of physiological and pathological processes. Herein, we report a dual-channel responsive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe for multicolour imaging of Cys in living cells. The probe was constructed with a NIR BODIPY attached to 7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD) via an ether bond. Upon substitution of the ether with the nucleophilic thiolate of Cys, a NIR BODIPY fluorophore was released to produce a significant fluorescence-enhanced signal at 735 nm. Moreover, Cys induced an intramolecular rearrangement reaction on the electrophilic site of NBD, resulting in another emission band at 540 nm. This probe exhibited some favorable properties including a dual-channel response, high fluorescence brightness, good photostability, fast response, low detection limit (22 nM) and low cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the probe was successfully applied for multicolour imaging of Cys in living cells.
