[PMID: 38979010 PMCID: PMC11228642 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.110024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Pyrrolidine (PyD) has an important impact on the environment and human health. However, there is currently no method for trace detection of PyD. Here, we successfully designed diaminomethylene-4H-pyran (1) as the first specific fluorescent probe for PyD. Only by adding PyD to probe 1, there is blue fluorescence at 455 nm, and the color of the solution changes from colorless to yellow. The detection limit is 1.12 × 10-6 M, and the response time is less than 5 min. Meanwhile, probe 1 can also sense the gaseous PyD and detect PyD in actual water samples. Moreover, due to the low biological toxicity, probe 1 can detect the exogenous PyD in zebrafish. The preliminary mechanism shows that probe 1 and PyD undergo a combination-type chemical reaction to generate a new substance 1-PyD. Therefore, the 100% atom utilization reaction enables probe 1 to exhibit specific adsorption and removal of PyD.

Abstract
The distinctive characteristics of near-infrared fluorescent organic molecules render them indispensable across diverse applications, from energy harvesting to bioimaging and sensing technologies. In this work, we continue our investigation on the chalcone derivative, 4-dimethylamino-2'-hydroxychalcone (nDHC, n = 1; where n is the number of olefinic bonds), by expanding the number of central double bonds (n = 2 (2DHC) and n = 3 (3DHC)). Additionally, we also synthesized the structurally related chalcones lacking the OH group (DC, 2DC, 3DC) in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of their effects on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The results show remarkable bathochromic shifts in absorption and fluorescence peaks in solution as n increases. These shifts, 20 nm and 35 nm for absorption and 100 nm and 200 nm for fluorescence in 2DHC and 3DHC, respectively, signify enhanced ICT and a significant increase in the excited state's dipole moment. The presence of OH groups notably amplifies these shifts due to additional electron donation, influencing solute-solvent interactions in solution. Femtosecond fluorescence upconversion and transient absoprtion techniques unraveled distinct dynamics in these derivatives, exhibiting the dominance of vibrational cooling, solvation, and intramolecular motions, particularly in the larger conjugated systems 3DHC and 3DC. The observed changes in the femtosecond transinet absorption spectra suggest the existence of new active states in extended conjugation systems, indicating diverse intramolecular conformational states contributing to their relaxation dynamics. The results of this study provide invaluable insights into excited-state spectroscopy, offering a roadmap for tailoring chalcone derivatives for specific applications.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) are important biothiols in living organisms. They play important roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, it is very important to design an optical probe for the selective detection of Cys/Hcy. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a fluorescent probe NBD-B-T based on a boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) structure, which showed an excellent lysosome targeting ability and an outstanding Cys/Hcy detection capacity. For NBD-B-T, the sensing group 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD) and the lysosomal targeting group morpholine were introduced. The results show that the NBD-B-T probe can detect Cys/Hcy with fluorescence emission turn-on performance. The low detection limits of this probe are about 76.0 nM for Hcy and 97.6 nM for Cys, respectively. The NBD-B-T probe has a low detection limit, high stability, and excellent selectivity and sensitivity. More importantly, the NBD-B-T can target lysosome, and simultaneously detect the Cys/Hcy in living cells.

Abstract
Biothiols are the main antioxidants in regulating the redox balance and resisting oxidative stress in various biological processes, but the long detection time of current fluorescent probes hinders their rapid imaging in vitro and in vivo. To reveal the influx of biothiols, we rationally develop an ortho-activation approach to accelerate the reaction between the probe and biothiols, by introducing electron-withdrawing fluorine atom into the ortho-site of the phenolic hydroxyl group in the NIR probe to generate an ortho-inductive effect. The ortho-fluorine helps to increase the chemical reactivity of the molecular structure, resulting in a significantly shorter detection time (within 5 min) as compared to previous reports (> 20 min for acrylates-based probes in aqueous solution). Based on this approach, our near-infrared probe 2F-RBX can sensitively and efficiently detect endogenous biothiols in living HepG2 cells and in vivo. These data suggest that ortho-activation is a simple and flexible approach to construct sensitive fluorescent probes for rapid imaging of biothiols, and perhaps other molecules in future, under biological circumstances.

Abstract
A sustainable alternative to the century-old Duff reaction was developed by adopting a solid-phase mechanochemical route. A series of mono-formyl electron-rich arenes were prepared in high yields in silica as the solid reaction media using a combination of hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as the formyl source and a small amount of H2SO4 in a mixer mill. The use of toxic, costly, and low-boiling trifluoroacetic acid was avoided in the new mold of the mechanochemical Duff reaction. The mono-formyl phenols were obtained with exclusive ortho-selectivity, whereas unprecedented para-formylation was observed for other electron-rich aromatics. By controlling the stoichiometry of HMTA, the method offers easy access to di-formylated phenols as well. The scalability of the reaction was validated with selected substrates at the gram-scale level. In a case study, a mechanochemical tandem reaction was explored in the synthesis of a rhodol derivative. The solvent-free, metal-free mild method of formylation, with the absence of tedious work-up steps and shorter reaction times using an inexpensive mineral acid, is a sustainable alternative to the available methods for aromatic formylation.

Abstract
The homeostasis of biothiols is closely related to the health of organisms. In view of the important role of biothiols, a fluorescent probe (7HIN-D) for the detection of intracellular biothiols was developed based on a simple chalcone fluorophore 7HIN with "ESIPT + AIE" characteristics. The probe 7HIN-D was obtained by introducing a biothiols specific DNBS (2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl) unit as a fluorescence quencher to the fluorophore 7HIN. The nucleophilic substitution reaction between biothiols and probe 7HIN-D will release the DNBS unit and the fluorophore 7HIN, which exhibits a "turn on" AIE fluorescence with a large Stokes shift of 113 nm. The probe 7HIN-D displays high sensitivity and good selectivity to biothiols, and the detection limits value of probe 7HIN-D for GSH, Cys and Hcy were 0.384 μmol/L, 0.471 μmol/L and 0.638 μmol/L, respectively. In addition, the probe has been successfully used for fluorescence detection of endogenous biothiols in living cells due to its excellent performance, good biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
For surveilling human health, industries, and the environment, pH monitoring is important. Numerous studies on fluorescent probes have been conducted to monitor various pH ranges. However, fluorescent probes that are capable of sensing alkaline regions are rare. In this study, we propose turn-on-type fluorescent probes for detecting alkaline pHs using bis[2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzazole] (bis(HBX)) derivatives. These probes have high pKa values (from 9.7 to 10.8) and exhibit strong fluorescence intensity and color changes at alkaline pHs. Probes derived from bis(HBX) exhibit good photostability, reversibility, and anti-interference toward pH variations, which can be identified as a certain fluorescence change toward a basic pH. Therefore, compounds would be advantageous to use fluorescent probes for monitoring alkaline pH changes.

Abstract
Biothiols (cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione) are an important class of compounds with a free thiol group. These biothiols plays an important role in several metabolic processes in living bodies when present in optimum concentration. Researchers have developed several probes for the detection and quantification of biothiols that can absorb in UV, visible, and near-infrared (NIR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Among them, NIR organic probes have attracted significant attention due to their application in in vivo and in vitro imaging. In this review, we have summarized probes for these biothiols, which could work in the NIR region, and discussed their sensing mechanism and potential applications. Along with focusing on the pros and cons of the reported probes we have classified them according to the fluorophore used and summarized their photophysical and sensing properties (emission, response time, limit of detection).

Abstract
Abnormal levels of glutathione, a cellular antioxidant, can lead to a variety of diseases. We have constructed a near-infrared ratiometric fluorescent probe to detect glutathione concentrations in biological samples. The probe consists of a coumarin donor, which is connected through a disulfide-tethered linker to a rhodamine acceptor. Under the excitation of the coumarin donor at 405 nm, the probe shows weak visible fluorescence of the coumarin donor at 470 nm and strong near-infrared fluorescence of the rhodamine acceptor at 652 nm due to efficient Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the donor to the acceptor. Glutathione breaks the disulfide bond through reduction, which results in a dramatic increase in coumarin fluorescence and a corresponding decrease in rhodamine fluorescence. The probe possesses excellent cell permeability, biocompatibility, and good ratiometric fluorescence responses to glutathione and cysteine with a self-calibration capability. The probe was utilized to ratiometrically visualize glutathione concentration alterations in HeLa cells and Drosophila melanogaster larvae.

Abstract
In the last few decades, growing numbers of fluorescent probes have been developed to detect intracellular GSH. However, the majority of probes for GSH were irreversible without monitoring the changes of intracellular GSH concentration. Therefore, recently, fluorescent probes for monitoring concentrations of GSH in real-time in living cells have come into being to address this challenge. This Perspective aimed at the development of reversible probes for GSH was organized by structural features, chemical reactions, and physicochemical properties. The reversible probes designed by a coumarin skeleton as a read-out fluorophore and the Michael addition reaction as a response mechanism accounted for most of the reported reversible probes. The performances of reversible fluorescent probes based on Michael addition could be roughly predicted by fundamental laws of kinetics and thermodynamics in physical chemistry. Essentially, the design principles included a highly reactive site for GSH, a small thermodynamic driving force, a desirable Kd of 1-10 mM, and excellent cell membrane permeability. Prospectively, the development of various mechanisms and fluorophores will be effective measures to enrich the types of reversible probes for GSH.

Abstract
The selective detection of glutathione (GSH) in vitro and in vivo has attracted great attentions, credited to its important role in life activities and association with a series of diseases. Among all kinds of analytical techniques, the fluorescent probe for GSH detection become prevalent recently because of its ease of operation, high temporal-spatial resolution, visualization and noninvasiveness, etc. The special structural features of GSH, such as the nucleophilicity of sulfhydryl group, the concerted reaction ability of amino group, the negative charged nature, the latent hydrogen bonding ability along with its flexible molecular chain, are all potent factors to be employed to design the specific fluorescent probe for GSH and discriminate it from other bio-species including its analogues cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy). This paper reviewed the studies in the last 3 years and was organized based on the reaction mechanism of each probe. According to the reactivity of GSH, various recognition mechanisms including Michael addition, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, ordinary nucleophilic substitution, multi-site reaction, and other unique reactions have been utilized to construct the GSH specific fluorescent probes, and the molecular design strategy, photophysical property, recognition mechanism, and bioimaging application of each reported probe were all discussed here systematically. Great progress has been made in this area, and we believe the analyses and summarization of these excellent studies would provide valuable message and inspiration to researchers to advance the research toward clinic applications.

Abstract
A sulfonamide-appended gemcitabine prodrug was newly produced. The prodrug was shown to efficiently distinguish GSH from cysteine and homocysteine. Upon reaction of this prodrug with GSH, which is relatively abundant in tumor cells, sulfonyl group cleavage occurred as well as active release of the drug GMC and a concomitant increase in the innate fluorescence intensity. As a proof of concept, colocalization experiments were carried out; these experiments demonstrated that the probe LHX resulted in, via receptor-mediated endocytosis, significantly improved therapeutic efficacy and few side effects. Thus, these results indicated the theranostic agent to be a promising "integrative" platform for efficient cancer therapy. The agent can be activated in real time, and not only be selectively monitored and localized by specific tumour cells, but also undergo cascaded cleavage to induce both a fluorogenic response and release of an active cytotoxic drug.

Abstract
In this study, a water-soluble, near-infrared fluorescent probe (EQR-S) was designed for the measurement of the glutathione (GSH) concentration. Responses of different interfering substances to the developed probe were investigated, and the luminescence mechanism was examined by theoretical calculations. Results revealed that EQR-S can be applied for the rapid, sensitive determination of the GSH concentration with a detection limit of 69 nM. Based on the above advantages, EQR-S was successfully applied to investigate the fluctuation in the GSH concentration of living cells under high-temperature stress.
