Abstract
Cancer is one of the major noncommunicable diseases, responsible for millions of deaths every year worldwide. Though various cancer detection and treatment modalities are available today, many deaths occur owing to its late-stage detection and metastatic nature. Noninvasive detection using luminescence-based imaging tools is considered one of the promising techniques owing to its low cost, high sensitivity, and brightness. Moreover, these tools are unique and valuable as they can detect even the slightest changes in the cellular microenvironment. To achieve this, a fluorescent probe with strong tumor uptake and high spatial and temporal resolution, especially with high water solubility, is highly demanded. Recently, several water-soluble molecules with emission windows in the visible (400-700 nm), first near-infrared (NIR-I, 700-1000 nm), and second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) windows have been reported in literature. This review highlights recently reported water-soluble small organic fluorophores/dyes with applications in cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. We systematically highlight and describe the key concepts, structural classes of fluorophores, strategies for imparting water solubility, and applications in cancer therapy and diagnosis, i.e., theragnostics. We discuss examples of water-soluble fluorescent probes based on coumarin, xanthene, boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY), and cyanine cores. Some other emerging classes of dyes based on carbocyclic and heterocyclic cores are also discussed. Besides, emerging molecular engineering methods to obtain such fluorophores are discussed. Finally, the opportunities and challenges in this research area are also delineated.

Abstract
A tetraphenyl imidazole-appended benzothiadiazole-based fluorogenic probe (4,7-bis(4-(1,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenyl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (BIPT)) has been successfully synthesized and characterized by NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) spectral analyses. A low limit of detection (LOD) can be achieved to detect picric acid (PA; 7.89 nM). When benzothiadiazole acceptors are incorporated in the D-A-D probe, it can produce a large Stokes shift (206 nm) as a result. Fascinatingly, the fluorescence signals of BIPT were ratiometrically induced by the interaction with PA and exhibited an apparent emission shift from pink to green. The detection process of BIPT is triggered by an intermolecular charge transfer process, as the charge transfer takes place from the electron-rich imidazole to the electron-deficient PA. Moreover, fluorescence detection of PA has been employed in paper strips. Advantageously, sensor BIPT can potentially be applied to contact mode and real-time detection of PA in environmental water samples. Additionally, the BIPT sensor has been successfully employed for latent fingerprint imaging. The study provides clear insights into the rational design of chemosensors for sensing and real-time applications.

Abstract
Apart from being the unit of protein, amino acids have diverse roles. Here we have shown that amino acids guide the differential transportation of the dye molecule to the cellular organelles depending upon the property of their intrinsic functionality. We have conjugated nitrobenzofurazan (NBD) moiety with two amino acids (lysine and histidine derivatives) with a linker. Both the derivates are water-soluble and biocompatible in nature. Surprisingly we found that lysine conjugated NBD (NBD-Lys) stains lipid droplets whereas the histidine conjugated NBD (NBD-His) stains lysosomes. We also measured the spectral properties of these two NBD conjugates. Results depict that both the conjugates are extremely stable both in air and inert atmosphere and the fluorescence of the derivatives almost remain unaltered at different pH. Further by altering the functionality of the side chain, we established the contribution of each functional group towards this differential organelle targeting.

Abstract
Mitochondria are versatile organelles and function by communicating with cellular ecosystems. The fluorescent colocalization analysis after fixation is a highly intuitive method to understand the role of mitochondria. However, there are few fluorescent dyes available for mitochondrial staining after fixation. In this study, a novel fluorescent dye (BO-dye), extracted from Buddleja officinalis, was applied for mitochondrial staining in fixed immortalized human oral keratinocytes. The BO-dye (excitation: 414 nm, emission: 677 nm) is a small fluorescent molecular dye, which can cross the cytomembrane without permeabilization. We assume that the BO-dye could aggregate and bind to the mitochondria stably. BO-dye exhibited a mega-Stokes shift (>250 nm), which is an important feature that could reduce self-quenching and enhance the signal-to-noise ratio. Analysis of photophysical properties revealed that the BO-dye is temperature and pH insensitive, and it exhibits superior photostability. These results indicate that BO-dye can be considered an alternative fluorescent dye for labeling mitochondria after fixation.

Abstract
The current review describes advances in the use of fluorescent 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) derivatives after nearly one decade since the first description of bioimaging experiments using this class of fluorogenic dyes. The review describes the use of BTD-containing fluorophores applied as, inter alia, bioprobes for imaging cell nuclei, mitochondria, lipid droplets, sensors, markers for proteins and related events, biological processes and activities, lysosomes, plasma membranes, multicellular models, and animals. A number of physicochemical and photophysical properties commonly observed for BTD fluorogenic structures are also described.

Abstract
An aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) effect in fluorescent lipophilic 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) derivatives and their organic nanoaggregates were studied. A set of techniques such as single-crystal X-ray, dynamic light scattering (DLS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), UV-vis, fluorescence, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to decipher the formation/break (kinetics), properties, and dynamics of the organic nanoaggregates of three BTD small organic molecules. An in-depth study of the excited-state also revealed the preferential relaxation emissive pathways for the BTD derivatives and the dynamics associated with it. The results described herein, for the first time, explain the formation of fluorescent BTD nanoaggregate derivatives and allow for the understanding of their dynamics in solution as well as the ruling forces of both aggregation and break processes along with the involved equilibrium. One of the developed dyes could be used at a nanomolar concentration to selectively stain lipid droplets emitting an intense and bright fluorescence at the red channel. The other two BTDs could also stain lipid droplets at very low concentrations and were visualized preferentially at the blue channel.

Abstract
In this work, we described the synthesis of 10 new fluorescent 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole small-molecule derivatives and their chemical- and photocharacterizations. The new derivatives could, for the first time, be successfully applied as selective live cell imaging probes (at nanomolar concentrations) and stained lipid-based structures preferentially. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to help in understanding the photophysical data and the intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) processes of the synthesized dyes. Some derivatives showed impressive cellular responses, allowing them to be tested as probes in a complex multicellular model (i.e., Caenorhabditis elegans). When compared with the commercially available dye, the new fluorescent compounds showed far better results both at the cellular level and inside the live worm. Inside the multicellular complex model, the tested probes also showed selectivity, a feature not observed when the commercial dye was used to carry out the bioimaging experiments.

Abstract
This work describes a novel fluorescent 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole derivative designed to act as a water-soluble and selective bioprobe for plasma membrane imaging. The new compound was efficiently synthesized in a two-step procedure with good yields. The photophysical properties were evaluated and the dye proved to have an excellent photostability in several solvents. DFT calculations were found in agreement with the experimental data and helped to understand the stabilizing intramolecular charge-transfer process from the first excited state. The new fluorescent derivative could be applied as selective bioprobe in several cell lines and displayed plasma-membrane affinity during the imaging experiments for all tested models.
