Abstract
Hypochloric acid (HClO) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that functions as a bacteriostatic and disinfectant in food production. Excessive levels of ClO-, however, have been linked to various health issues, including cardiovascular diseases (Halliwell and Gutteridge in Oxford University press, USA, 2015), arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases (Heinzelmann and Bauer in Biol Chem. 391(6):675-693, 2010). Therefore, synthesizing highly selective and sensitive probes for rapidly detecting endogenous ClO- in daily foods is currently a popular research topic (Kalyanaraman et al. in Redox Biol. 15:347-362, 2018; Winterbourn in Nat Chem Biol. 4(5):278-286, 2008; Turrens in J Physiol. 552(2):335-344, 2003). Thus, we have developed two highly selective ratiometric fluorescent probes (Probe1 and Probe2) based on indole-phenothiazine to detect ClO- in common vegetables, fruits and beverages qualitatively and quantitatively. Moreover, Both Probe1 and Probe2 have shown good specificity and stability, with high fluorescence intensity and long duration (Feng et al. in Adv Sci. 5:1800397, 2018; Wei et al. in Angew Chem. 131(14):4595-4599, 2019; Baruah et al. in J Mater Chem B, 2022).

Abstract
The dysfunctions in the mitochondria are associated with various pathological conditions like neurodegeneration, metabolic disorder, and cancer, leading to dysregulated cell death. Here, we have designed and synthesized a julolidine-based molecular rotor (JMT) to target mitochondria with far-red emission accounting for mitochondrial dysfunction. JMT showed viscosity sensitivity with 160-fold enhancement in fluorescence intensity. The origin of the dark state in a lower viscous environment was investigated through density functional calculations. We have employed JMT to monitor mitochondrial dysfunction induced by nystatin using confocal and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. Further, we investigated mitochondrial abnormalities under inflammatory conditions triggered by lipopolysaccharide in live HeLa cells. The cellular uptake mechanisms of JMT were studied using various endocytosis inhibitors. Moreover, we reported tracking small fluorescent molecule switching from mitochondria to the plasma membrane upon introducing mitochondrial depolarizer in cells. On treating the mitochondria potential uncoupler, JMT relocates to the cell membrane and can be utilized for understanding the interplay between mitochondria and cell membranes. Moreover, JMT was applied to stain the RBC plasma membrane isolated from human blood.

Abstract
Cysteine is a vital biothiols that plays an important role in numerous physiological and pathological processes. The development of simple molecule tools for detection and analysis Cys in subcellar environment is significant for further exploring their pathophysiological. In this work, a simple but activated fluorescent probe AMIA was constructed with a donor-π-accepter (D- π -A) structure, which using an indanone as the electron-withdrawing unit acting as the fluorophore, dimethylamino group attached to the position 4 of the benzene ring as the electron-donating, two double bonds as the linker group, and the acryloyl ester group as the trigger and response unit. This probe AMIA was exhibited highly selective and sensitive response to Cys over other amino acids and ions under physiological conditions. It was found that AMIA showed a red turn-on fluorescence response at 630 nm towards Cys with a large stroke shift of 170 nm and a very low detection limit of 26.3 nM. HRMS, 1H NMR and TD-DFT calculation further confirmed that the response mechanism is the Cys triggered the addition-cyclization reaction between AMIA' acryloyl group and Cys' sulfhydryl and amino unit, leading to the release of a red fluorescent dye AMIA-OH, which can be identified by naked eyes. Furthermore, AMIA was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of Cys in living cells and zebrafish with lower cytotoxicity and good cell permeability. We hope that this novel indanone-based probe AMIA will provide a new reference for visualized Cys in other complex biological system.

Abstract
As a fundamental physical parameter, viscosity influences the diffusion in biological processes. The changes in intracellular viscosity led to the occurrence of relevant diseases. Monitoring changes in cellular viscosity is important for distinguishing abnormal cells in cell biology and oncologic pathology. Here, we devised and synthesized a viscosity-sensitive fluorescent probe LBX-1. LBX-1 showed high sensitivity, providing a large Stokes shift as well as an enhancement in fluorescent intensity (16.1-fold) from methanol solution to glycerol solution. Furthermore, the probe LBX-1 could localize in mitochondria because of the ability of the probe to penetrate the cell membrane and accumulate in mitochondria. These results suggested that the probe could be utilized in monitoring the changes in mitochondrial viscosity in complex biological systems.

Abstract
Irregularities in mitochondrial viscosity and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) concentration can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. It is still a great challenge to develop near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes to simultaneously detect viscosity, endogenous ONOO-, and mitophagy. Herein, a multifunctional mitochondria-targeting NIR fluorescent probe P-1 was first synthesized for simultaneously detecting viscosity, ONOO-, and mitophagy. P-1 used quinoline cations as a mitochondrial targeting moiety, arylboronate as an ONOO- responsive group, and detected the change of viscosity by the twisted internal charge transfer (TICT) mechanism. The probe has an excellent response to the viscosity during inflammation by lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and mitophagy induced by starvation at 670 nm. The viscosity changes of the probe induced by nystatin in zebrafish showed that P-1 was able to detect microviscosity in vivo. P-1 also showed good sensitivity with a detection limit of 6.2 nM for ONOO- detection and was successfully applied to the endogenous ONOO- detection in zebrafish. Moreover, P-1 has the ability to distinguish between cancer cells and normal cells. All of these features make P-1 a promising candidate to detect mitophagy and ONOO- -associated physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), as a strong oxidizing reactive nitrogen substance (RNS), is generated endogenously by cells. Its visualization research is crucial to understand relevant disease processes. Herein, we reported a long-wavelength mitochondria-targeted fluorescence "turn on" probe TL. The probe TL could react with ONOO- by using 4-(Bromomethyl)benzeneboronic as a reactive site, which exhibited outstanding characteristics for detection of ONOO-, thus improving response time (about 50 s), sensitivity (DL, 10.1 nM), and emission wavelength (667 nm). Besides, TL displayed well mitochondria targeting and biological visualizing of exogenous and endogenous ONOO- in biological systems. Finally, TL was used to monitor high concentration of dexamethasone-induced an up-regulation of ONOO-. This indicated that TL has excellent potential to study the fluctuation of ONOO- in the physiological and pathological system.

Abstract
The intracellular physical parameters i. e., polarity, viscosity, fluidity, tension, potential, and temperature of a live cell are the hallmark of cellular health and have garnered immense interest over the past decade. In this context, small molecule organic fluorophores exhibit prominent useful properties including easy functionalizability, environmental sensitivity, biocompatibility, and fast yet efficient cellular uptakability which has made them a popular tool to understand intra-cellular micro-environmental properties. Throughout this discussion, we have outlined the basic design strategies of small molecules for specific organelle targeting and quantification of physical properties. The values of these parameters are indicative of cellular homeostasis and subtle alteration may be considered as the onset of disease. We believe this comprehensive review will facilitate the development of potential future probes for superior insight into the physical parameters that are yet to be quantified.

Abstract
Cell apoptosis detection based on the functionality changes of cellular organelles, such as mitochondria, offers a quantitative method compared to morphology-based detection. However, the conventional detection methods for potential variation of the mitochondrial membrane based on fluorescence spectrum changes cannot offer a precise quantification of the degree of apoptosis. Here, a mitochondria-targeted two-photon viscosity probe (TPA-Mit), which sensitively responds to viscosity variations with fluorescence lifetime changes, is designed to detect the viscosity of mitochondria. Noteworthily, the proposed phasor fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (phasor-FLIM) allows for more precise quantification (in terms of smaller uncertainty) when estimating the degree of apoptosis with a microviscosity probe. The experimental results of SKOV-3 cells show that the fluorescence lifetime of mitochondria-targeted TPA-Mit increased from 550 ps to 800 ps after 24 hours of paclitaxel (PTX)-induced apoptosis. We believe that our method provides a new means for the measurement of cellular microviscosity and apoptosis monitoring at early stages. Here we designed a mitochondria-targeted two-photon viscosity probe (TPA-Mit), which sensitively responds to viscosity variations with fluorescence lifetime changes.![]()

Abstract
The irregular viscosity in the mitochondrial can induce mitochondrial dysfunction. The content of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is related to various physiological and pathological processes. However, many mitochondrial probes only realized the detection of viscosity or ONOO- in single channel, thus it is necessary to explore single fluorescence probe for dual-detecting mitochondrial viscosity and ONOO-. In this work, we designed and synthesized a novel fluorescence probe (PV) for dual-detecting viscosity and ONOO-, which was composed by intergrating a ONOO-- responsive arlyboronate with a twisting intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) mechanism and possessed the mitochondria-targeting ability due to its pyridinium cation. PV exhibited a significant increase in viscosity with red emission at 582 nm and high sensitivity to ONOO- levels with yellow emission at 507 nm. PV was also applied to living systems (including living cells and zebrafish) for viscosity and ONOO- detection using two different channels. Moreover, the ability of PV to track mitophagy may make ONOO- a powerful tool for its role in mitophagy.

Abstract
We have designed two mitochondria targetable probes P-Py and P-An by the π-conjugation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (pyrene vs. anthracene) with 4-dimethylamino pyridinium. They present an amphiphilic property with excellent solubility in the common polar and non-polar solvents. Both of them demonstrated a significant fluorescence response to bisulfite in Tris-HCl buffer solutions (5 mM, pH = 7.4). By a combination of fluorescence, UV-vis, time-resolved emission, 1H NMR, and ESI-MS, their sensing mechanisms have been elaborated to be a Michael addition. Notably, P-Py also exhibits a sensitivity to the viscosity change with a Stokes shift of 140 nm, due to the restriction of C-C bond rotation. By taking advantages of its good water solubility, low toxicity, and high mitochondrial target, the dual responses of P-Py to exogenous SO2 derivatives and viscosity change in mitochondria were explored by confocal fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
The microenvironment (local environment), including viscosity, temperature, polarity, hypoxia, and acidic-basic status (pH), plays indispensable roles in cellular processes. Significantly, organelles require an appropriate microenvironment to perform their specific physiological functions, and disruption of the microenvironmental homeostasis could lead to malfunctions of organelles, resulting in disorder and disease development. Consequently, monitoring the microenvironment within specific organelles is vital to understand organelle-related physiopathology. Over the past few years, many fluorescent probes have been developed to help reveal variations in the microenvironment within specific cellular regions. Given that a comprehensive understanding of the microenvironment in a particular cellular region is of great significance for further exploration of life events, a thorough summary of this topic is urgently required. However, there has not been a comprehensive and critical review published recently on small-molecule fluorescent chemosensors for the cellular microenvironment. With this review, we summarize the recent progress since 2015 towards small-molecule based fluorescent probes for imaging the microenvironment within specific cellular regions, including the mitochondria, lysosomes, lipid drops, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi, nucleus, cytoplasmic matrix and cell membrane. Further classifications at the suborganelle level, according to detection of microenvironmental factors by probes, including polarity, viscosity, temperature, pH and hypoxia, are presented. Notably, in each category, design principles, chemical synthesis, recognition mechanism, fluorescent signals, and bio-imaging applications are summarized and compared. In addition, the limitations of the current microenvironment-sensitive probes are analyzed and the prospects for future developments are outlined. In a nutshell, this review comprehensively summarizes and highlights recent progress towards small molecule based fluorescent probes for sensing and imaging the microenvironment within specific cellular regions since 2015. We anticipate that this summary will facilitate a deeper understanding of the topic and encourage research directed towards the development of probes for the detection of cellular microenvironments.

Abstract
Diseases caused by metabolic abnormalities, such as inflammation and fatty liver, which are characterized by high viscosity, so it is necessary to detect the change of viscosity in vivo and in vitro. Due to the advantages of high sensitivity, noninvasive detection, high selectivity and real-time imaging, fluorescence imaging has become an effective means to detect biological parameters of biomolecules and life systems. Therefore, we have prepared a red emitting fluorescent probe NBI-V with easy synthesis which can ensure that the probe can be developed for the widely used to detection of viscosity changes in vivo and in vitro. The probe NBI-V has good stability, high response times, selectivity, and good biocompatibility. As the viscosity of a water-glycerol system increased from 1.29 cp to 937.48 cp, the fluorescence of NBI-V was increased by about 77 times. Biological experiments showed that the probe NBI-V can target mitochondria, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was as high as 0.89. What's more, it can distinguish normal liver from fatty liver, and can detect the viscosity changes caused by inflammation in mice.
