Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and hydrazine (N2H4) are toxic compounds in environmental and living systems, and hydrogen sulfide is also an important signaling molecule. However, in the absence of dual-color probes capable of detecting both H2S and N2H4, the ability to monitor the crosstalk of these substances is restricted. Herein, we developed an ESIPT-based dual-response fluorescent probe (BDM-DNP) for H2S and N2H4 detection via dually responsive sites. The BDM-DNP possessed absorbing strength in the detection of H2S and N2H4, with a large Stokes shift (156 nm for H2S and 108 nm for N2H4), high selectivity and sensitivity, and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, BDM-DNP can be utilized for the detection of hydrogen sulfide and hydrazine in actual soil, and gaseous H2S and N2H4 in environmental systems. Notably, BDM-DNP can detect H2S and N2H4 in living cells for disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation.

Abstract
Sulfhydryl-containing compounds including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are involved in many physiological processes. The development of single-molecule optical sensor for the distinguish detection of these bio-thiols is a critical and challenging effort. In this work, we designed a one-step synthesis of the Rhodamine-based sensor FR for specific fluorescent response of Cys and simultaneously colorimetric detection of H2S, in which the aldehyde and fluorine groups act as response sites. Sensor FR displays significant fluorescence enhancement at 565 nm toward Cys with high selectivity and low detection limits (49 nM) due to the low background fluorescent signal of the spirocyclic closed-state in Rhodamine structure. Meantime, after treatment of H2S, the color of the sensor changes significantly from colorless to blue-purple, which can be used as a visual colorimetric method to detect H2S. These response mechanisms were systematically characterized by 1H NMR and Mass spectrometry. Finally, sensor FR could be used to monitor exogenous and endogenous of intracellular Cys changes.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is a significant biological mercaptan that achieves key roles in several important physiological processes, such as reversible redox homeostasis in living organisms. Abnormal levels of Cys in the human body are directly related to many diseases. In this work, we constructed a sensitive sensor (Cys-NR) by connecting a Cys recognition group to a Nile red derivative. Due to photo-induced electron transfer (PET), the Cys-NR probe showed little fluorescence at 650 nm. With the addition of Cys to the assay solution, the chlorine unit of the probe was substituted by the thiol group of Cys. Further, the amino and sulfhydryl groups in cysteine underwent an intramolecular rearrangement, which led to the Cys-NR probe water solution turning from colorless to pink with an enhancement in fluorescence. The red fluorescence at 650 nm increased about 20 times. Based on the turn-on signal, a selective Cys detection method is developed. The probe signal is not affected by various potential interferences or other competing biothiols and the limit of detection (LOD) is determined to be 0.44 μM. In addition, the probe is further employed for imaging of Cys in live cells, revealing good biological imaging ability that could provide a new way of intracellular Cys detection.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a substantial role as a messenger in the physiological and pathological processes of many diseases. Recently, the fluorescence probe of H2S based on organic dye has attracted great attention. However, the emission of many probes is in the UV-vis region (400-600 nm), so it has the disadvantages of shallow tissue penetration and more vulnerable to spontaneous fluorescence interference. Although several H2S probes have been developed that emit more than 650 nm, there is a complex structure difficult to synthesize or unstable in storage. Aimed at simply structural and easily synthesized H2S fluorescent probes with emission wavelength more than 650 nm, a novel near-infrared (NIR) probe (NIR-H2S) here was rationally designed with 4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-7-(diethylamino)-2-(4-hydroxystyryl)chromenylium (NIR-OH) as a fluorescent dye and 2,4-dinitrophenyl moiety as a recognition group. Addition of H2S, the "turn-on" NIR fluorescence response at 736 nm of NIR-H2S was displayed, accompanied by a visual colour change from purple to green when excited at 686 nm. As an easily acquisitive H2S probe, NIR-H2S has been successfully applied to cell imaging for H2S detection with the advantages such as long fluorescence emission, low toxicity, high sensitivity and strong selectivity.

Abstract
A novel absorbance recovery method has been developed for the determination of biothiols with a near-infrared reagent. This method employs a two-reagent system composed of cation heptamethine cyanine (CyL) and Hg2+. The absorbance of CyL, with a maximum peak at 760 nm, was decreased due to addition of Hg2+, but recovered when biothiols were added. Under optimal conditions, the reciprocal extent of recovered absorbance was proportional to the concentration of biothiols. The calibration curves are linear over the range of (0.3-7.0) × 10-6 M for cysteine, (1.0-10.0) × 10-6 M for homocysteine and (1.0-9.0) × 10-6 M for glutathione. Because of the specific affinity of Hg2+for biothiols, there is minimal interference from other amino acids. This method has been successfully applied to the determination of homocysteine in human urine samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
In the design work of fluorescent probes, it is important to consider not only the factors of fluorescence properties but also the environment in which the fluorescent molecule works. This requires the design of auxiliary groups to refine the fluorescent molecule. Nowadays, more and more fluorescent molecules are not limited to the traditional fluorescent probe consisting of a fluorophore, linker arm and recognition group, but integrate the three into one, and introduce auxiliary groups where possible. Auxiliary groups are "catalytic groups" that do not interact with the substrate, or "catalyze" the interaction of the recognition group with the substrate. The introduced auxiliary groups can improve the sensitivity and selectivity of the detection to some extent, which has attracted great interest from researchers. Although previous work has focused on this aspect, no one has summarized it systematically and comprehensively. So this review summarizes the role of auxiliary groups that are classified into three categories according to the different mechanisms between the auxiliary groups and the substance, in improving the performance of fluorescent probes in recent years (2012-2022). In particular, we generalize the mechanisms of the auxiliary groups in improving the sensitivity and selectivity of fluorescent probes. Also, the fundamental principles of auxiliary groups to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of fluorescent probes are discussed and future research directions in this field are proposed.

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 single signal amplification strategy is significant for detecting various disease biomarkers but is restricted by its limited accuracy. The multi-signal and multi-mode methods have overcome this deficiency. Acid phosphatase (ACP) is an important intracellular enzyme but one-step cell imaging material-based probes are scarce for ACP. Herein, we designed a one-step self-assembled polymer probe using neutral red (NR), modified-(pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)) and Eu3+. The polymer exhibited non-emission and excellent stability. Upon the catalytic hydrolysis reaction of ACP, the polymer exhibited two strong fluorescence signals at 373 nm and 613 nm and an appreciable decline of absorbance at 395 nm. The probe has excellent selectivity and higher sensitivity with a limit of detection as low as 0.02 mU mL-1. It possesses favorable biocompatibility and has been successfully used to detect and image intracellular ACP in several living cells.

Abstract
A new colorimetric and fluorescence probe NRSH based on Nile-red chromophore for the detection of biothiols has been developed, exhibiting high selectivity towards biothiols over other interfering species. NRSH shows a blue shift in absorption peak upon reacting with biothiols, from 587 nm to 567 nm, which induces an obvious color change from blue to pink and exhibits a 35-fold fluorescence enhancement at 645 nm in red emission range. NRSH displays rapid (<1 min) response for H2S, which is faster than other biothiols (>5 min). The detection limits of probe NRSH towards biothiols are very low (22.05 nM for H2S, 34.04 nM for Cys, 107.28 nM for GSH and 113.65 nM for Hcy). Furthermore, NRSH is low cytotoxic and can be successfully applied as a bioimaging tool for real-time monitoring biothiols in HeLa cells. In addition, fluorescence mechanism of probe NRSH is further understood by theoretical calculations.

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.
