Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has gradually received enthusiastic attention with the aging process, and studying its biological relevance is expected. Excitingly, fluorescence probes were considered to be powerful tools for exploring biological correlations. Therefore, a highly selective near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (DCM-Cl-Acr) for imaging cysteine (Cys) in AD was designed and synthesized. Through structural optimization, the probe exhibited high fluorescence quantum yield and low detection limit (20 nM) towards Cys. Meanwhile, based on the high selectivity and high sensitivity response exhibited by the probe to Cys, it was successfully applied to visualize endogenous and exogenous Cys in living cells and zebrafish, and showed good discrimination from homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). Further, the correlation between AD and Cys concentration was clarified by imaging studies in hippocampus tissue of AD mouse, and the abnormal accumulation of Cys in the hippocampus of AD brain was demonstrated.

Abstract
In this research, an "off-on" long-wavelength fluorescent probe (DCMN-Cl) based on (E)-2-(3-(2-(6-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)vinyl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene) malononitrile (DCMN) is designed and synthesized for cysteine (Cys) detection. DCMN-Cl exhibits a large Stokes shift (211 nm) and shows rapid response and high specificity to Cys. The fluorescence initensity at 635 nm reveals a good linear relationship with Cys concentration in the 0 to 50 μM range, and the detection limit is as low as 159 nM. The probe is also used for fluorescence imaging of Cys in cells and mice. Moreover, the probe provided visual evidence of Cu2+ and curcumin-induced intracellular Cys fluctuations.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) has long been recognized as toxic pollutant to crops worldwide. The biosynthesis of glutathione-dependent phytochelatin (PC) plays crucial roles in the detoxification of Cd in plants. However, its regulatory mechanism remains elusive. Here, we revealed that Arabidopsis transcription factor WRKY45 confers Cd tolerance via promoting the expression of PC synthesis-related genes PCS1 and PCS2, respectively. Firstly, we found that Cd stress induces the transcript levels of WRKY45 and its protein abundance. Accordingly, in contrast to wild type Col-0, the increased sensitivity to Cd is observed in wrky45 mutant, while overexpressing WRKY45 plants are more tolerant to Cd. Secondly, quantitative real-time PCR revealed that the expression of AtPCS1 and AtPCS2 is stimulated in overexpressing WRKY45 plants, but decreased in wrky45 mutant. Thirdly, WRKY45 promotes the expression of PCS1 and PCS2, electrophoresis mobility shift assay analysis uncovered that WRKY45 directly binds to the W-box cis-element of PCS2 promoter. Lastly, the overexpression of WRKY45 in Col-0 leads to more accumulation of PCs in Arabidopsis, and the overexpression of PCS1 or PCS2 in wrky45 mutant plants rescues the phenotypes induced by Cd stress. In conclusion, our results show that AtWRKY45 positively regulates Cd tolerance in Arabidopsis via activating PCS1 and PCS2 expression.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe based on azamonardine (Aza) fluorophore was designed and synthesized for the highly selective detection of cysteine (Cys) in vivo and in vitro. After reacting with acryloyl chloride, the fluorescence of Aza is effectively quenched, resulting in the formation of the Aza-acryl probe. Upon the addition of Cys, the ester bond of Aza-acryl is cleaved, releasing a new compound (Compound 1) with strong fluorescence, thereby achieving fluorescence turn-on detection of Cys. The structure of Aza-acryl was characterized using X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, density functional theory was employed to elucidate the quenching mechanism of the acyl group on the Aza. Aza-acryl exhibits high selectivity towards Cys and distinguishes it from other biothiols such as homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). The mechanism of Aza-acryl for detecting Cys was investigated through HPLC, NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and reaction kinetics experiments. Aza-acryl demonstrates excellent imaging capabilities for Cys in cells and zebrafish, providing a reliable and selectable tool for the detection and imaging of Cys in biological systems.

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
A novel near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (SWJT-9) was designed and synthesized for the detection of hypochlorite anion (ClO-) using a diaminomaleonitrile group as the recognition site. SWJT-9 had large Stokes shift (237 nm) and showed an excellent NIR fluorescence response to ClO- with the color change under the visible light. It showed a low detection limit (24.7 nM), high selectivity, and rapid detection (within 2 min) for ClO-. The new detection mechanism of SWJT-9 on ClO- was confirmed by 1H NMR, MS spectrum, and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In addition, the probe was successfully used to detect ClO- in HeLa cells.

Abstract
Much research has demonstrated that metabolic imbalances of biothiols are closely associated with the emergence of different types of disease. In view of the significant effect of biothiols, quantitative evaluation and discrimination of intracellular Cys/Hcy and GSH in complex biological environments is very important. In this study, probe CDS-NBD, synthesized by attaching 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate (DNBS, site 1) and nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD, site 2) as the highly sensitive and selective dual response site for thiols onto the coumarin derivative 7-hydroxycoumarin-4-acetic acid, exhibited large separation of the emission wavelengths, fast response, notable fluorescence enhancement, excellent sensitivity and selectivity to Cys/Hcy and GSH over other biological species. Additionally, CDS-NBD could make a distinction between two different fluorescent signals, GSH (an obvious blue fluorescence) and Cys/Hcy (a mixed blue-green fluorescence). Further study on imaging of Cys/Hcy and GSH in vivo by employing probe CDS-NBD could also be successfully achieved.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores, especially dicyano-based fluorophores and xanthene-based hemicyanines, have beenput high expectation in bioimaging application due to their excellent optical properties. However, they suffer from inherentshortagessuch as short excitation/emission wavelength (less than 700 nm) or small Stokes shift (20-50 nm). Herein, we constructed a novel NIR dicyano-based fluorophore (DCO-HBTN). Toourknowledge, it is the first reported dicyano-based fluorophore of which the excitation/emission wavelength is more than 650 nm and Stokes shift is more than 100 nm. To demonstrate the feasibility of our efforts, we developed two NIR fluorescent probes (Probe-Cys and Probe-H2S) based on the fluorophore, Probe-Cys displayed good selective and highly sensitive (LOD = 0.28 μM) recognition of Cys over Hcy and GSH, which was used to visualize endogenous Cys in tumor tissue. Probe-H2S exhibited an. excellent specific and sensitive (LOD = 0.11 μM) response to H2S, which was applied in monitoring H2S releasing from the prodrug in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Owing to the important physiological sits of biothiols (Cys, Hcy, and GSH), developing accurate detection methods capable of qualitative and quantitative analysis of biothiols in living systems is needed for understanding the biological profile of biothiols. In this work, we have designed and synthesized a 4′-hydroxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carbonitrile modified with NBD group-based fluorescent probe, BPN-NBD, for sensitive detection of Cys/Hcy and GSH by dual emission signals via a single-wavelength excitation. BPN-NBD exhibited an obvious blue fluorescence (λmaxem = 475 nm) upon the treatment with GSH and reacted with Cys/Hcy to give a mixed blue-green fluorescence (λmaxem = 475 and 545 nm). Meanwhile, BPN-NDB performed sufficient selectivity, rapid detection (150 s), high sensitivity (0.011 µM for Cys, 0.015 µM for Hcy, and 0.003 µM for GSH) and could work via a single-wavelength excitation to analytes and had the ability to image Cys/Hcy from GSH in living MCF-7 cells, tumor tissues, and zebrafish by exhibiting different fluorescence signals. Overall, this work provided a powerful tool for thiols visualization in biological and medical applications.
