Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a diatomic inorganic free radical ubiquitous in mammalian tissues and cells that plays a multifaceted role in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes. The strict dependence of the biological effects of NO on its concentration makes its real-time monitoring crucial. In view of the reactivity of NO with multiple bio-targets, the development of NO sensors that associate a fast response rate with selectivity and sensitivity is very challenging. Herein we report a fluorescent NO probe based on a BODIPY fluorogenic unit covalently linked to a trimethoxy aniline derivative through a flexible spacer. NO leads to effective nitrosation of the highly electron-rich amino active site of the probe through the secondary oxide N2O3, resulting in an increase of BODIPY fluorescence quantum yield from Φf = 0.06 to Φf = 0.55, accompanied by significant changes in the relative amplitude of the fluorescence lifetimes. In situ generation of NO, achieved by a tailored light-activatable NO releaser, allows the real-time detection of NO as a function of its concentration and permits demonstrating that the probe exhibits a very fast response time, being ≤0.1 s. This remarkable data combines with the high sensitivity of the probe to NO (LOD = 35 nM), responsiveness also to ONOO-, the other important secondary oxide of NO, independence from the fluorescence response within a wide pH range, good selectivity towards different analytes and small interference by typical physiological concentrations of glutathione. Validation of this probe in melanoma cell lines is also reported.

Abstract
Precise and rapid detection of immune responses is critical for timely therapeutic regimen adjustment. Immunomodulation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) from a protumorigenic phenotype (M2) to an antitumorigenic phenotype (M1) is crucial in macrophage-targeted immunotherapy. Herein, we developed a boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based fluorescence probe BDP3 to detect the immune responses after immunotherapy by monitoring the nitric oxide (NO) released by M1 TAMs. With an aromatic primary monoamine structure and a p-methoxyanilin electron donor in the meso-position, BDP3 not only specifically activates stable and sensitive fluorescence by NO via a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process but also achieves a long emission wavelength for efficient in vitro and in vivo imaging. Such NO-induced fluorescence signals of BDP3 are validated to correlate well with the phenotypes of TAMs detected in macrophage cell lines and tumor tissues. The distinct sensing effects toward two types of clinically used immunotherapeutic drugs further confirm the ability of BDP3 for specific monitoring of the M1/M2 switch in response to the macrophage-targeted immunotherapy. By virtue of good biocompatibility and appropriate tumor retention time, BDP3 could be a potential fluorescent probe for noninvasive evaluation of the immunotherapeutic efficacy of macrophage-targeted immunotherapy in living animals.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays various physiologically favorable roles in the body. However, excessive production of NO causes inflammation and leads to various chronic inflammatory diseases. A typical NO-related disease is rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and it is well known that NO is a critical molecule for inflammation in the pathophysiology of RA. Therefore, depletion of NO can be an attractive treatment option for RA. In this study, we proposed a new method to discover effective NO scavengers in the form of small molecules. o-Phenylenediamine (o-PD), the core structure of the NO scavenger, is a diamino-aromatic compound that irreversibly reacts with NO through nucleophilic substitution of amine. Inspired by the nucleophilicity, we attempted to find new scavenger candidates by searching for conditions that increase the nucleophilicity of the amine moieties. Candidates were classified into the basic form o-PD, monoamine aniline, o-PD substituted with a nitro group, carboxyl group, and three methyl groups. The NO-scavenging ability of these candidates was demonstrated using the DAF-2 assay. N-Methyl-o-PD (N-Me) in the methyl (-CH3) group had the highest reactivity with NO among the candidates, and the efficiency of NO scavengers was confirmed in vitro and in vivo. Depleted levels of NO and reduced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines by N-Me demonstrated remarkable therapeutic efficacy against joint damage and delayed severity in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model. Therefore, our findings suggest that N-Me is a new NO scavenger with great potential for RA treatment and further clinical drug development.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays various physiological and pathological roles in lots of biological processes. It is crucial to detect NO sensitively and selectively in vivo and in vitro as homeostasis of NO is closely related to various diseases. Herein, a novel dual-channel fluorescent dye (ENNH2) based on dicarboxyimide anthracene was developed as a highly sensitive and selective probe to detect NO in living systems using the dual-channel fluorescence. ENNH2 can emit bright red fluorescence due to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from the amino group at the 6-position of 1,2-dicarboxyimide anthracene to the conjugated aromatic ring, and the ICT is effectively inhibited by the reductive deamination of the amino in the presence of NO to obtain the remarkable strong green emission with the excellent sensitivity (5.52 nM). Promisingly, ENNH2 exhibits an excellent performance in endogenous NO dual-channel fluorescence imaging of RAW 264.7 cells and zebrafish.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes for the detection of intracellular nitric oxide (NO) are abundant, but those targeted to the mitochondria are scarce. Among those molecules targeting mitochondrial NO (mNO), the majority use a triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cation as a vector to reach such organelles. Here we describe a simple molecule (mtNOpy) based on the pyrylium structure, made in a few synthetic steps, capable of detecting selectively NO (aerated medium) over other reactive species. The calculated detection limit for mtNOpy is 88 nM. The main novelty of this probe is that it has a simple molecular architecture and can act both as a fluorogenic and as a mitochondriotropic agent, without using TPP. mtNOpy has been tested in two different scenarios: (a) in a controlled environment of cell line cultures (human colon carcinoma HT-29 cells and mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells), using confocal laser scanning microscopy, and (b) on a much more complex sample of peripheral blood, using flow cytometry. In the first context, mtNOpy has been found to be responsive (turn-on fluorescence) to exogenous and endogenous NO stimuli (via SNAP donor and LPS stimulation, respectively). In the second area, mtNOpy has been able to discriminate between NO-generating phagocytes (neutrophils and monocytes) from other leukocytes (NK, B and T cells).

Abstract
Phosgene and its substitutes (diphosgene and triphosgene) are widely utilized as chemical industrial materials and chemical warfare agents and pose a threat to public health and environmental safety due to their extreme toxicity. Research efforts have been directed to develop selective and sensitive detection methods for phosgene and its substitutes. In this paper, we have prepared two BODIPY-based fluorescent probes, o-Pah and o-Pha, which are two isomers with different active sites, ortho-aminohydroxy (3',4' or 4',3') phenyls at meso position of BODIPY, and compared their sensing performance toward triphosgene. The probe with o-(4'-amino-3'-hydroxyl), o-Pha, exhibits better sensing performance over the o-(3'-amino-4'-hydroxyl), o-Pah, for instance, a lower limit of detection (LOD) (0.34 nm vs. 1.2 nm), and more rapid response (10 s vs. 200 s). Furthermore, based on the above comparative studies, a red-fluorescence probe o-Phae has been constructed through extending 3,5-conjugation of o-Pha. The probe o-Phae displays rapid response (60 s), high sensitivity to triphosgene (LOD=0.88 nm), and high selectivity for triphosgene over relevant analytes including nitric oxide. Finally, a facile test strip for phosgene was fabricated by immobilizing o-Phae in a polyethylene oxide membrane for sensitive (<2 ppm) and selective detection of phosgene in the gas phase.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important gaseous signaling molecule related to various human diseases. To investigate the biological functions of NO, many strategies have been developed for real-time monitoring the NO levels in biological systems. Among these strategies, fluorescent probes are considered to be one of the most efficient and applicable methods owing to their excellent sensitivity and selectivity, high spatiotemporal resolution, noninvasiveness, and experimental convenience. Therefore, great efforts have been paid to the design, synthesis, and fluorescence investigation of novel NO fluorescent probes in the past several years. However, few of them exhibit practical applications owing to the low concentration, short half-life, and rapid diffusion characteristics of NO in biological systems. Rational design of NO fluorescent probes with excellent selectivity and sensitivity, low cytotoxicity, long-lived fluorescent emission, and low background interference is still a challenge for scientists all over the word. To provide spatial-temporal information, this article focuses on the progress made in the organic and metal complex-based NO fluorescent probes during the past five years. The key structural elements and sensing mechanisms of NO fluorescent probes are discussed. Some novel ratiometric, luminescence, and photoacoustic probes with low background interference and deep tissue penetrating ability are mentioned. All these probes have been used for imaging exogenous and endogenous NO in cells and animal models. More importantly, this article also describes the development of multi-functional NO fluorescent probes, such as organelle targeting probes, dual-analysis probes, and probe-drug conjugates, which will inspire the design of various functional fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a messenger molecule in organisms, participating in the regulation of many biological processes. The abnormal expression of NO is often observed in a variety of diseases, including cerebral ischemia, atherosclerosis, and cancer. However, a suitable tool that can directly and sensitively detect NO in vitro and in vivo is important for understanding its various biological functions. In this report, a new fluorescent probe for nitric oxide, DHP-4, was prepared, based on dihydropyridine-coumarin. DHP-4 was able to greatly enhance the fluorescence of NO, but did not affect the fluorescence emissions of other reactive oxygen species and nitrogen species, demonstrating its highly selective and sensitive response to NO. The probe generated stable optical signals in a buffer solution at pH values ranging from 3 to 10. In addition, DHP-4 could detect NO directly, showed low cellular toxicity, and was successfully applied to determine NO in Raw 264.7 cells, indicating its great potential as a tool for investigating the biological roles of NO in vivo.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), constituting up to 50% of the solid tumor mass and commonly having a pro-tumoral M2 phenotype, are closely associated with decreased survival in patients. Based on the highly dynamic properties of macrophages, in recent years the repolarization of TAMs from pro-tumoral M2 phenotype to anti-tumoral M1 phenotype by various strategies has emerged as a promising cancer immunotherapy approach for improving cancer therapy. Herein, we present an aromatic secondary amine-functionalized Bodipy dye 1 and its mitochondria-targetable derivative Mito1 as fluorescent NO probes for discriminating M1 macrophages from M2 macrophages in terms of their difference in inducible NO synthase (iNOS) levels. The two probes possess the unique ability to simultaneously respond to two secondary oxides of NO, i.e., N2O3 and ONOO-, thus being more sensitive and reliable for reflecting intracellular NO than most of the existing fluorescent NO probes that usually respond to N2O3 only. With 1 as a representative, the discrimination between M1 and M2 macrophages, evaluation of the repolarization of TAMs from pro-tumoral M2 phenotype to anti-tumoral M1 phenotype, and visualization of NO communication during the immune-mediated phagocytosis of cancer cells by M1 macrophages have been realized. These results indicate that our probes should hold great potential for imaging applications in cancer immunotherapy studies and relevant anti-cancer drug screening.

Abstract
Three molecules containing the fluorophore 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide (ANI) and showing different tendencies to self-assembly in aqueous environment have been prepared and fully characterized. The fluorescence emissions of two of these compounds in aqueous solutions are efficiently quenched in the presence of nitric oxide (NO) in aerated medium. Nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry techniques indicate that NO/O2 induces deamination of the ANI fluorophore, resulting in nonemissive 1,8-naphtalimide derivatives. It is found that the reactivity toward NO/O2 is regulated by the different aggregation modes presented by the molecules in aqueous medium. In this way, the molecules displaying fluorescence response toward NO/O2 are those with weak self-association properties whereas the compound with a high hydrophobic character (self-assembling into large nanoparticles) is insensitive to this species. Ultimately, the results described here could not only set the basis for the design of fluorescent bioprobes for NO/O2 based on ANI derivatives or other monoamino compounds but also could raise awareness about the importance of supramolecular interactions for the design of chemosensors.
