Abstract
L-Cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) are closely related biological species that widely exist in food and living cells. To simultaneously detect Cys and GSH from different emission channels, we developed a fluorescent probe (BDP-NBD) based on near-infrared BODIPY and 7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD). Upon nucleophilic substitution reaction with GSH, BDP-NBD generated an emission band at 713 nm, which can be used to determine GSH (0-100 μM) with a low detection limit (34 nM). Different from GSH, BDP-NBD underwent a nucleophilic substitution-rearrangement reaction with Cys, affording two emission bands at 550 nm and 713 nm, respectively. BDP-NBD was successfully employed to quantify Cys and GSH in various food samples with good recoveries (86.6%-104.6%). Besides, BDP-NBD can image Cys and GSH in living cells from two emission channels. Therefore, this work developed a tool for the simultaneous determination of Cys and GSH in both food and living cells so as to ensure food safety and human health.

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
Dual-channel fluorescent probes could respond to a specific target and emit different wavelengths of fluorescence before and after the response. Such probes could alleviate the influence caused by the variation of the probe concentration, excitation intensity, and so on. However, for most dual-channel fluorescent probes, the probe and fluorophore faced spectral overlap, which reduced sensitivity and accuracy. Herein, we introduced a cysteine (Cys)-responsive and near-infrared (NIR) emissive AIEgen (named TSQC) with good biocompatibility to dual-channel monitor Cys in mitochondria and lipid droplets (LDs) during cell apoptosis through wash-free fluorescence bio-imaging. TSQC can label mitochondria with bright fluorescence around 750 nm, and after reacting with Cys, the reaction product TSQ could spontaneously target LDs with emissions around 650 nm. Such spatially separated dual-channel fluorescence responses could significantly improve detection sensitivity and accuracy. Furthermore, the Cys-triggered dual-channel fluorescence imaging in LDs and mitochondria during apoptosis induced by UV light exposure, H2O2, or LPS treatment is clearly observed for the first time. Besides, we also report here that TSQC can be used to image subcellular Cys in different cell lines by measuring the fluorescence intensities of different emission channels. In particular, TSQC shows superior utility for the in vivo imaging of apoptosis in acute and chronic epilepsy mice. In brief, the newly designed NIR AIEgen TSQC can respond to Cys and separate two fluorescence signals to mitochondria and LDs, respectively, to study Cys-related apoptosis.

A highly selective red-emitting fluorescent probe and its micro-nano-assembly for imaging endogenous peroxynitrite (ONOO -) in living cells. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1241:340778. [PMID: 36657871 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2022.340778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/31/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Endogenous peroxynitrite plays a very important role in the regulation of life activities. However, validated tools for ONOO- tests are currently insufficient. We designed a fluorescent probe TPA-F-NO2 with a low fluorescence background in water based on the D-π-A structure for the imaging of endogenous ONOO- in living cells. TPA-F-NO2 can realize the naked eye detection of ONOO- due to the obvious color change. TPA-F-NO2 has the advantages of large stokes shift, high signal-to-noise ratio, high selectivity and sensitivity. The quantitative detection can be achieved in the range of 0-14 μM ONOO-. Due to its solvatochromic characteristics, TPA-F-NO2 has the potential to be used in OLEDs and other fields. In addition, 4-methylumbelliferone has a wide range of anticancer effects as an inhibitor of hyaluronic acid. We prepared TPA-MU-NPs by assembling TPA-F-NO2 and 4-methylumbelliferone. It also endows TPA-MU-NPs with ONOO- imaging function and anti-proliferation effect on breast cancer cells and other cells. This 'probe-drug' assembly strategy provides ideas for the design and optimization of dual-functional probes.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a nervous system disease, and seizures are closely related to oxidative stress. Thiols, as the main antioxidant in an organism, play a key role in regulating the redox balance and defending from oxidative stress. As a result of the complexity of the brain structure, there is still a lack of suitable in situ detection methods of thiols to reveal the relationship between epilepsy and thiol level fluctuations. Therefore, by combining picolinate as the new recognition site for thiols, parallel synthesis, and the fluorescence rapid screening method, DCI-Br-3 was developed as a rapid, highly sensitive, and selective probe to monitor thiols in vitro and in vivo. It is worth noting that DCI-Br-3 effectively crossed the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to reveal the negative relationship between the level of thiols and the occurrence of epilepsy and may further provide important information for the prevention and treatment of thiol-related neurological diseases.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), the only amino acid in the 20 natural amino acids that contains a reduced sulfhydryl group, plays important roles in the balance of redox homeostasis in biological systems. Lysosome is an important organelle containing a variety of hydrolases and has been proved to be the decomposition center of a variety of exogenous and endogenous macromolecular substances. In this research, a coumarin-based fluorescent probe MCA for the detection of Cys in lysosomes of living cells was developed. Due to the acrylate moiety, this probe exhibited high sensitivity (detection limit = 6.8 nM) and selectivity towards Cys superior to other analytes. Moreover, the probe was proved to be lysosome-targetable and showed good cell imaging ability and low cell toxicity.

Abstract
In this work, a phenothiazine-based fluorescent probe (PR) has been developed for the selective detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in biosystems and monitoring H2S produced in the food spoilage process. The nucleophilic attack of H2S on the CC double bond of PRvia a Michael addition interdicted the ICT process to trigger 34-fold enhancement of the fluorescence emission. PR featured high selectivity and sensitivity (1.8 μM), low cytotoxicity and reliability at physiological pH. "Naked-eye" monitoring of H2S produced in the food spoilage process using PR was successfully accomplished. The preliminary fluorescence imaging studies showed that PR is suitable for the visualization of exogenous and endogenous H2S in living cells and live animals. Moreover, PR has been successfully applied to the visualization of H2S generation in an inflammation model. The results indicated that PR is an effective tool to monitor H2S production in the fields of biomedicine and food safety.

Abstract
A new class of NIR distyryl Bodipy fluorescent dyes were developed with sulfone- and quaternary ammonium-modified piperidines as auxochromes instead of conventional dialkylamino auxochromes. Such modification markedly improved the fluorescence quantum yields due to the efficient inhibition of the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state. Based on the dye platform, we developed a new fluorescent H2O2 probe via self-immolative chemistry, and confirmed its capability to sensitively and selectively sense H2O2in vitro and in vivo.

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
Thiols play vital and irreplaceable roles in the biological system. Abnormality of thiol levels has been linked with various diseases and biological disorders. Thiols are known to distribute unevenly and change dynamically in the biological system. Methods that can determine thiols' concentration and distribution in live cells are in high demand. In the last two decades, fluorescent probes have emerged as a powerful tool for achieving that goal for the simplicity, high sensitivity, and capability of visualizing the analytes in live cells in a non-invasive way. They also enable the determination of intracellular distribution and dynamitic movement of thiols in the intact native environments. This review focuses on some of the major strategies/mechanisms being used for detecting GSH, Cys/Hcy, and other thiols in live cells via fluorescent probes, and how they are applied at the cellular and subcellular levels. The sensing mechanisms (for GSH and Cys/Hcy) and bio-applications of the probes are illustrated followed by a summary of probes for selectively detecting cellular and subcellular thiols.

Abstract
A fluorescent sensor based on coumarin-maleimide conjugate was developed for efficient discrimination of Cys from Hcy and GSH in both organic and aqueous solution. Addition of Cys to the non-fluorescent sensor solution in DMF induced bright blue fluorescence and enhanced the fluorescence intensity by 320-fold while other amino acids and biothiols (Gly, Hcy, GSH, Glu, Val, Tyr, Arg, Trp, Lys, His, Leu, Phe, Asp and Met) did not bring about remarked change. The sensor responds to Cys extremely rapidly. If Cys was added to the sensor solution, the fluorescence intensity increased by 170-fold immediately and attained the maximum value in 5 min. A linear relationship was observed between Cys concentration within 2-20 μM and the fluorescence intensity of the sensor solution. The detection limit of the sensor toward Cys is as low as 4.7 nM. The sensor is also effective for specific detection of Cys in aqueous (DMF/H2O = 9:1, v/v) solution. Practical application of the sensor to drug analysis and bioimaging of living Hela cells has been verified. Possible sensing mechanism of the sensor toward Cys has been proposed.

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
Neurotransmission between neurons, which can occur over the span of a few milliseconds, relies on the controlled release of small molecule neurotransmitters, many of which are amino acids. Fluorescence imaging provides the necessary speed to follow these events and has emerged as a powerful technique for investigating neurotransmission. In this review, we highlight some of the roles of the 20 canonical amino acids, GABA and β-alanine in neurotransmission. We also discuss available fluorescence-based probes for amino acids that have been shown to be compatible for live cell imaging, namely those based on synthetic dyes, nanostructures (quantum dots and nanotubes), and genetically encoded components. We aim to provide tool developers with information that may guide future engineering efforts and tool users with information regarding existing indicators to facilitate studies of amino acid dynamics.

Abstract
Long-term, in vivo, fluorescent cell tracking probes are useful for understanding complex cellular processes including tissue regeneration, communication, development, invasion, and cancer metastasis. A near-infrared fluorescent, water-soluble probe is particularly important for studying these biological events and processes. Herein, a lysosome specific, near-infrared Bodipy probe with increased fluorescent intensity in the acidic, lysosome environment is reported. This Bodipy probe is packaged in a nanoparticle using DSPE-PEG2000. The resulting nanoparticle is intravenously delivered to a tumor xenograft, where the fluorescent Bodipy becomes useful for non-invasive, long-term, in vivo fluorescent tumor imaging for periods greater than 36 days. These long-term, in vitro and in vitro tracking data indicate that the described Bodipy nanoparticles hold great potential for monitoring biological processes.

Abstract
Small molecular biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), reduced glutathione (GSH), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), play crucial parts in regulating the redox balance of life activities, regulating normal physiological activities and preventing various diseases. Quantitative analysis of these important small molecular substances is very important for revealing their diverse physiological and pathological effects. Although many fluorescent probes have been reported to detect biothiols in cells, it is still not sufficiently advanced to detect biothiols with separated fluorescence emission peak by same wavelength excitation. In our work, we designed a simple conjugate of Nile red and NBD (7-nitro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole) as long-wavelength fluorescent probe NR-NBD for the simultaneous discrimination of these biothiols at single wavelength excitation. Probe NR-NBD could efficiently discriminate Cys/Hcy, GSH and H2S by two separated fluorescence emission channels and absorption spectra. Importantly, probe NR-NBD has excellent specificity and sensitivity towards the monitoring of endogenous/exogenous Cys/Hcy and GSH/H2S in living cells and zebrafish.

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
NIR-light-absorbing photosensitizers with the capability of selective localization and activation in tumor regions are of great importance for practical photodynamic therapy (PDT). Here, selenophenol substituted BODIPYs were designed and synthesized as new photosensitizers for PDT. One of these obtained BODIPYs, IBSeOV, possesses an intense and low energy absorption with a high singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ = 60%). Considering manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets as versatile nanocarriers in cancer theranostics, nanosystem IBSeOV/MnO2 was then fabricated to furnish tumor environment selective activation. Such designed nanoplatform allowed for GSH-controllable 1O2 production and exhibited low cytotoxicity in dark but good photocytotoxicity to cancer cells. The in vivo antitumor outcome suggested the high treatment efficiency of IBSeOV/MnO2 for tumor therapy.

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
Thiophenols as high toxic environmental pollutants are poisonous for animals and aquatic organisms. Therefore, it is indispensable to monitor thiophenols in the environment. Herein, a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe was developed for the detection of thiophenols, which was easily prepared by one-step coupling of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride with Nile blue. The probe showed a significant near infrared (∼675 nm) fluorescence "turn-on" response to thiophenols with some good features including chromogenic reaction, high sensitivity and selectivity, fast response, near-infrared emission along with low detection limit (1.8 nM). The probe was employed to rapidly and visually determine thiophenols in several industrial wastewaters with good recoveries (90-110%). Moreover, this probe has been demonstrated good capability for imaging thiophenol in HeLa cells.

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
Cysteine plays a crucial role in physiological processes. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for detecting cysteine. Fluorimetry has the advantages of convenient detection, short response time, high sensitivity and good selectivity. In this review, fluorescent probes that detect cysteine over the past three years are summarized based on structural features of fluorophores such as coumarin, BODIPY, rhodamine, fluorescein, CDs, QDs, etc and reaction groups including acrylate, aldehyde, halogen, 7-nitrobenzofurazan, etc. Then, effects of different combinations between fluorophores and response groups on probe properties and detection performances are discussed.

Abstract
A BODIPY disulfonate BODIPY-diONs with two-photon fluorescent turn-on effect was developed as fluorescence probe for selective detection of glutathione over cysteine and homocysteine. BODIPY-diONs is weakly fluorescent due to the 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl quencher group. When GSH was added, a SNAr substitution reaction was triggered. The red emission of the BODIPY fluorophore at 675 nm was switched on, with a 27-fold emission enhancement in fluorescence intensity. The color of the solution changed from blue to green together with fluorescence appeared within 5 s. The absorbance and emission maxima of the probe BODIPY-diONs were achieved at 650 nm and 675 nm, respectively (quantum yield: 0.11). Interestingly, under the sapphire pulsed laser's 800 nm irradiation, in presence of GSH, the two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) of probe BODIPY-diONs was turned on, affording an OFF-ON response signal and a strong emission band at 682 nm. Furthermore, for detection of GSH, the chemodosimeter BODIPY-diONs exhibits high sensitivity and excellent anti-interference with low detection limit of 0.17 μM, and it works effectively within a wide pH range. Furthermore, the imaging studies proved that the probe BODIPY-diONs is suitable for the detection of GSH in complete physiological media.

Abstract
Biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), are involved in a number of biological processes and play crucial roles in biological systems. Thus, the detection of biothiols is highly important for early diagnosis of diseases and evaluation of disease progression. Herein, we developed a new turn-on fluorescent probe 1 based on 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) with high selectivity and sensitivity for Cys/Hcy on account of nucleophilic substitution and Smiles rearrangement reaction. The probe could sense Cys/Hcy rapidly, the intensity of fluorescence increased immediately within 1min. Furthermore, the probe is low toxic and has been successfully applied to detect intracellular Cys/Hcy by cell fluorescence imaging in living normal and cancer cells.
