Abstract
Two spirobifluene-based fluorescent probes SPF1 and SPF2, were designed and synthesized. The probes displayed "turn-on" fluorescence response for Cysteine. One of the challenges in developing a Cysteine probe is to secure high selectivity. SPF1/SPF2 can discriminate Cysteine from GSH as well as Hcy, and showed high substrate selectivity. The detection limit of SPF1 is 36 nM, which is excellent comparing with other optical sensors for Cysteine. The sensing mechanism of SPF1/SPF2 was verified by experimental data and theoretical calculations. There was a good linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity of SPF1/SPF2 and the concentration of Cysteine. The MTT tests indicated that SPF1/SPF2 had low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that SPF1, SPF2, and their related reaction products with Cysteine exhibited good two-photon absorption properties. Finally, SPF1/SPF2 had been successfully applied to the imaging of Cysteine in living cells under two-photon excitation.

Abstract
Cysteine is an important biological thiol and is closely related to cancer. It remains a challenge to develop a probe that can provide long-term fluorescence detection and imaging of Cys in cells as well as in living organisms. Here, a solid-state fluorophore HTPQ is combined with an acrylate group to construct a solid-state fluorescent probe HTPQC for Cys recognition. The fluorescence of the probe is quenched when the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process is turned on and the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process is turned off. In the presence of Cys, an obvious solid-state fluorescence signal can be observed. The double quenching mechanism makes the probe HTPQC have the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity, and high contrast of biological imaging. Due to low cytotoxicity, the probe HTPQC can be used to detect exogenous and endogenous Cys in living cells and is capable of imaging over long periods of time. By making full use of long wavelengths, the probe can be applied for the detection of Cys levels in tumor mice and equipped with the ability to conduct long-term imaging in vivo.

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.

Abstract
Herein, a novel fluorescent probe RhoDCM was developed for monitoring the cysteine (Cys) dynamics. For the first time, the Cys-triggered implement was applied in relatively complete diabetic mice models. The response of RhoDCM towards Cys suggested advantages including practical sensitivity, high selectivity, rapid reaction, and steadiness in various pH and temperature conditions. RhoDCM could basically monitor the intracellular Cys level, both exogenous and endogenous. It could further monitor the glucose level via detecting consumed Cys. Furthermore, the diabetic mice models including the no diabetic control group, the induced model groups by streptozocin (STZ) or alloxan, and the treatment groups induced by STZ and treated with vildagliptin (Vil), dapagliflozin (DA), or metformin (Metf) were constructed. The models were checked by oral glucose tolerance test and significant liver-related serum indexes. Based on the models, the in vivo imaging and penetrating depth fluorescence imaging both indicated that RhoDCM could characterize the status of the development and treatment in the diabetic process via monitoring the Cys dynamics. Consequently, RhoDCM seemed beneficial for inferring the order of severity in the diabetic process and evaluating the potency of therapeutic schedules, which might be informatic for correlated investigations.

Abstract
In this communication, we report the comparative and selective interaction of amino acid d-cysteine (d-Cys) with citrate caped gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in the presence of a fluorescent dye, rhodamine B (RhB), in aqueous solution. Au NPs of size 27.5 nm could almost fully quench the steady-state fluorescence emission of RhB at their optimum concentrations in the mixed solution. The interactions of d-Cys, l-Cys, all other relevant d- and l-amino acids, neurotransmitters, and other relevant biological compounds with the Au NPs/RhB mixed solution have been explored by monitoring the fluorescence recovery efficiencies from the almost fully quenched state of RhB fluorescence via a simple steady-state spectrofluorometric method. The higher fluorescence recovery for the interaction of d-Cys with the Au NPs/RhB mixed system is accompanied by a distinct color change (red-wine to bluish-black) of the assay medium after the reaction compared to that of all other interfering compounds considered in this work. The sensitivity of this fluorometric response lies in a broad linear range of concentrations of d-Cys and the limit of detection (LOD) is found to be 4.2 nM, which is low compared to many other methods available in the literature. The different degrees of interaction of d-Cys and l-Cys with the Au NPs/RhB mixed sample have been further explored by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The selective interaction of d-Cys with the proposed Au NPs/RhB mixed system is also found to be correlated with interparticle cross-linking and aggregations of nanoparticles by the analysis of ζ potential and dynamic light scattering (DLS) study, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy etc. The proposed interaction mechanism is further studied with a normal human urine sample to elucidate that the optimized combination of Au NPs and RhB may be realized as an efficient platform for detection of the amino acid d-Cys in a real biosample via a simple fluorometric approach.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes that emit in the far-red (600-700 nm), first near-infrared (NIR-I, 700-900 nm), and second NIR (NIR-II, 900-1700 nm) regions possess unique advantages, including low photodamage and deep penetration into biological samples. Notably, NIR-II optical imaging can achieve tissue penetration as deep as 5-20 mm, which is critical for biomedical sensing and clinical applications. Much research has focused on developing far-red to NIR-II dyes to meet the needs of modern biomedicine. Flavylium compounds are natural colorants found in many flowers and fruits. Flavylium-inspired dyes are ideal platforms for constructing fluorescent probes because of their far-red to NIR emissions, high quantum yields, high molar extinction coefficients, and good water solubilities. The synthetic and structural diversities of flavylium dyes also enable NIR-II probe development, which markedly advance the field of NIR-II in vivo imaging. In the last decade, there have been huge developments in flavylium-inspired dyes and their applications as far-red to NIR fluorescent probes for biomedical applications. In this review, we highlight the optical properties of representative flavylium dyes, design strategies, sensing mechanisms, and applications as fluorescent probes for detecting and visualizing important biomedical species and events. This review will prompt further research not only on flavylium dyes, but also into all far-red to NIR fluorophores and fluorescent probes. Moreover, this interest will hopefully spillover into applications related to complex biological systems and clinical treatments, ranging in focus from the sub-organelle to whole-animal levels.

Abstract
The use of fluorescent probes in visible detection has been developed over the last several decades. Biomolecules are essential in the biological processes of organisms, and their distribution and concentration are largely influenced by environmental factors. Significant advances have occurred in the applications of fluorescent probes for the detection of the dynamic localization and quantity of biomolecules during various environmental stress-induced physiological and pathological processes. Herein, we summarize representative examples of small molecule-based fluorescent probes that provide bimolecular information when the organism is under environmental stress. The discussion includes strategies for the design of smart small-molecule fluorescent probes, in addition to their applications in biomolecule imaging under environmental stresses, such as hypoxia, ischemia-reperfusion, hyperthermia/hypothermia, organic/inorganic chemical exposure, oxidative/reductive stress, high glucose stimulation, and drug treatment-induced toxicity. We believe that comprehensive insight into the beneficial applications of fluorescent probes in biomolecule detection under environmental stress should enable the further development and effective application of fluorescent probes in the biochemical and biomedical fields.

We developed a fluorescent probe, named 2-(4-(acryloyloxy) phenyl)-4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-7-(diethylamino) chromenylium (PA-A), for detecting Cys using the -OH protection/deprotection strategy, which can react with Cys to form a red-emitting anthocyanidin derivative fluorophore. The probe has high selectivity to Cys over Hcy and GSH in phosphate buffer solution (PBS, 10 mM, pH = 7.4), high sensitivity, a low detection limit of 4.48 × 10-8 mol/L, and it can be recognized with the naked eye. Fluorescence imaging experiment of Cys with PA-A at the cellular successfully showed excellent tissue penetration.

Abstract
A new naphthalene-based boronate probe, NAB-BE, for the fluorescence-based detection of inflammatory oxidants, including peroxynitrite, hypochlorous acid, and hydrogen peroxide, is reported. The chemical reactivity and fluorescence properties of the probe and the products are described. The major, phenolic oxidation product, NAB-OH, is formed in case of all three oxidants tested. This product shows green fluorescence, with a maximum at 512 nm, and can be excited either at 340 nm or in the near infrared region (745 nm) for two-photon fluorescence imaging. Peroxynitrite is the fastest of the oxidants tested and, in addition to the phenolic product, leads to the formation of a nitrated product, NAB-NO2, which can serve as a fingerprint for peroxynitrite. The probe was applied to detect peroxynitrite in activated macrophages using fluorimetry and two-photon fluorescence microscopy, and both NAB-OH and NAB-NO2 products were detected in cell extracts by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The combined use of fluorometric high-throughput analyses, fluorescence imaging, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based product identification and quantitation is proposed for most comprehensive and rigorous characterization of oxidants in biological systems.

Abstract
Among the physiological and pathological sulfur-containing species, cysteine (Cys) is the most typical one which is an important component of the REDOX system in vivo. Monitoring the level of Cys from other competing species seems quite important in pre-clinical diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation. Herein, we developed a selective fluorescent probe, BPCys, for Cys from the benzo[a]phenazin backbone which had the potential of anti-cancer potency. BPCys suggested advantages including high specificity (40 fold over other species), high sensitivity (detection limit: 18 nM), wide pH adaptability (6.0-11.0) and in particular, the anti-cancer effect. Biological assays and in silico simulation hinted the potency of the detecting product on Topoisomerase I/II. In brief, this study raised a practical strategy for monitoring the Cys level in living cells, especially in cancer models with its anti-cancer potential, thus opened the mind of exploring more specific tool for specific applications.

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 new fluorescent probe A with BODIPY as FRET donor and near-infrared rhodamine as FRET acceptor is constructed through disulfide bonding and use for ratiometric fluorescence detection of biothiol. Due to the efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from BODIPY donor to near-infrared rhodamine acceptor, Probe A only displays near-infrared rhodamine fluorescence (λem = 656 nm) under BODIPY excitation at 480 nm. The presence of biothiol leads to BODIPY fluorescence increases (λem = 511 nm) and near-infrared rhodamine fluorescence decreases since the disulfide bond of the probe is broken by biothiols, effectively separating the donor from the acceptor, thus inhibiting the FRET process. Probe A exhibits remarkable high selectivity and excellent linear relationship from 10 μM to 100 μM of GSH, with low detection limit as 0.26 μM. Cellular imaging experiments shows that the probe is predominantly present in mitochondria and has been successfully applied to detect biothiol concentrations changes in mitochondria of living cells.

Abstract
β-Secretase (BACE1) is the vital enzyme in the pathogenic processes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the development of a powerful tool with high selectivity and sensitivity for BACE1 determination in vivo is a challenge in understanding the pathogenesis of AD. In this work, a novel two-photon ratiometric fluorescent probe (AF633mCyd) was first developed for imaging and sensing of BACE1 in live cells and deep tissues, in which the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system was designed and synthesized by a novel two-photon donor, merocyanine derivative (mCyd), connected with an acceptor, Alexa Fluor 633 (AF633), through a peptide substrate (EVNL-DAEFRHDSGYK) with a length of less than 10 nm. The emission spectrum of mCyd possessed sufficient overlap with the absorption spectrum of AF633, resulting in the high sensitivity of the developed AF633mCyd probe. The peptide substrate which can be specifically cleaved by BACE1 was inserted between the donor and acceptor, leading to the high selectivity of the present fluorescent probe. The fluorescence emission peaks of the AF633mCyd probe were observed at 578 nm and 651 nm and the emission ratio demonstrated good linearity with the concentration of BACE1 varying from 0.1 to 40.0 nM with a detection limit down to 65.3 ± 0.1 pM. Considering the advantages of high selectivity and sensitivity, as well as long-term stability and good biocompatibility, the developed probe was successfully applied in imaging and sensing of BACE1 in different regions of AD mouse brain tissue with a depth greater than 300 μm. Using this powerful tool, it was clear that the level of BACE1 was different in various brain regions of AD mouse such as S1BF, CPu, LD, and CA1. The up-regulation of BACE1 was observed especially in the regions S1BF and CA1 in AD mouse brain. Moreover, BACE1 was also found to be closely related to AD pathogenesis caused by oxidative stress.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn, n > 1) belong to sulfane sulfur in the reactive sulfur species (RSS) family and play significant roles in maintaining biological homeostasis in organisms. The detection of H2Sn in living systems is essential, but further understanding of its "intact" function in living cells has been limited, owing to the lack of appropriate analytical tools. In this work, a new fluorescent probe PP-PS was designed for the detection of endogenous H2Sn. The probe has a large Stokes shift (178 nm), low detection limit (1 nM), and short response time (1 minute). Besides, PP-PS was successfully applied in the imaging of endogenous H2Sn in lysosomes of living cancer cells, xenograft mouse tumor tissues, and LPS-induced mouse inflammation tissues. These results revealed that the probe PP-PS could act as a new fluorescence imaging tool to study the function of intracellular hydropolysulfides.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) are essential for maintaining the cellular redox homeostasis and play critical roles in pathological and physiological processes. The development of Cys/Hcy-specific responsive fluorescent probes that are independent of the surrounding environment, equipment, and abundant endogenous GSH is critical to accurately investigate the roles of Cys/Hcy in living biological systems. In this work, a novel ratiometric and mitochondria-anchored fluorescence chemosensor, PYR, was constructed on the basis of 4-methylphenol-substituted pyronin fluorophore. The probe exhibited ratiometric fluorescence emission (F540 nm/F620 nm) for the detection of Cys/Hcy with high selectivity, sensitivity (Cys, 22 nM; Hcy, 23 nM), rapid response (Cys, 5 min), and a merit enhancement of ratio fluorescent signal (Cys, 163-fold; Hcy, 125-fold). The probe showed excellent membrane permeability and was applied to visualize mitochondrial biothiols in living cells under H2O2-induced redox imbalance, kidney tissues with a penetration depth of 100 μm, and Daphnia magna model for the first time. The results demonstrate that PYR will provide a promising platform for the diagnosis of thiol-related diseases.
