Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA) is endogenously generated via fundamental biological processes in living systems. Aberrant FA homeostasis in subcellular microenvironments is implicated in numerous pathological conditions. Fluorescent probes for detecting FA in specific organelles are thus of great research interest. Herein, we present a modular strategy to construct diverse organelle-targeting FA probes by incorporating selective organelle-targeting moieties into the scaffold of a 1,8-naphthalimide-derived FA fluorescent probe. These probes react with FA through the 2-aza-Cope arrangement and exhibit highly selective fluorescence increases for detecting FA in aqueous solutions. Moreover, these organelle-targeting probes, i.e., FFP551-Nuc, FFP551-ER, FFP551-Mito, and FFP551-Lyso, allow selective localization and imaging of FA in the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and lysosomes of live mammalian cells, respectively. Furthermore, FFP551-Nuc has been successfully employed to monitor changes of endogenous FA levels in the nucleus of live mammalian cells. Overall, these probes should represent new imaging tools for studying the biology and pathology associated with FA in different intracellular compartments.

Probing Alzheimer's pathology: Exploring the next generation of FDDNP analogues for amyloid β detection. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 175:116616.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes are a powerful tool for imaging amyloid β (Aβ) plaques, the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, we report the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of 21 novel probes as well as their optical properties and binding affinities to Aβ fibrils. One of these dyes, 1Ae, exhibited several improvements over FDDNP, an established biomarker for Aβ- and Tau-aggregates. First, 1Ae had large Stokes shifts (138-213 nm) in various solvents, thereby reducing self-absorption. With a high quantum yield ratio (φ(dichloromethane/methanol) = 104), 1Ae also ensures minimal background emission in aqueous environments and high sensitivity. In addition, compound 1Ae exhibited low micromolar binding affinity to Aβ fibrils in vitro (Kd = 1.603 µM), while increasing fluorescence emission (106-fold) compared to emission in buffer alone. Importantly, the selective binding of 1Ae to Aβ1-42 fibrils was confirmed by an in cellulo assay, supported by ex vivo fluorescence microscopy of 1Ae on postmortem AD brain sections, allowing unequivocal identification of Aβ plaques. The intermolecular interactions of fluorophores with Aβ were elucidated by docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations. Density functional theory calculations revealed the unique photophysics of these rod-shaped fluorophores, with a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) excited state. These results provide valuable insights into the future application of such probes as potential diagnostic tools for AD in vitro and ex vivo such as determination of Aβ1-42 in cerebrospinal fluid or blood.

Abstract
Excess formaldehyde (FA) is a strong carcinogen, so the development of a rapid visualized and portable formaldehyde detection platform is of great research importance. A multi-color fluorescence sensing system constituted of model compound (NAHN) and red-emitting InP/ZnS QDs was constructed herein, which can simultaneously realize fluorometric-colorimetric dual-mode sensing when exposed to FA environment. Its preparation process was simplified, the detection process was green, and the limits of detection (LOD) were 0.623 μM and 0.791 μM, respectively. The high recoveries of FA in actual water samples indicated that the sensor had broad application prospects. The prepared fluorescent film can be utilized for rapid visual simulation analysis of FA on the surface of various fruits and vegetables. In addition, a serial logic gate was designed to quickly semi-quantitatively assess FA concentration, which promoted the realization of on-site intelligent evaluation of FA.

Abstract
Nitrite is a carcinogenic substance in food. Excessive consumption of nitrite severely endangers human health. However, rapid and accurate quantification of nitrite by a simple tool is still very challenging. In this work, we designed a practical sensing platform based on 8-(o-phenylenediamine)-boron dipyrromethene (BDP-OPD) to determine nitrite in food. BDP-OPD can take a specific diazotization-cyclization cascade reaction with nitrite to form boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY), giving rise to a remarkable chromogenic reaction along with high contrast fluorescence turn-on response towards nitrite. BDP-OPD has high sensitivity, rapid response, and good selectivity. Furthermore, a portable smartphone-based fluorescence device integrated with a self-programmed Python program was fabricated, which has been successfully used to determine nitrite in food with the advantages of rapid response, low cost, ease of operation, portability, and satisfactory recoveries (92-112%). The good sensing performance rendered BDP-OPD a promising fluorescence platform for on-site visual detection of nitrite.

Abstract
Molecularly generated light, referred to here as "molecular light", mainly includes bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, and Cerenkov luminescence. Molecular light possesses unique dual features of being both a molecule and a source of light. Its molecular nature enables it to be delivered as molecules to regions deep within the body, overcoming the limitations of natural sunlight and physically generated light sources like lasers and LEDs. Simultaneously, its light properties make it valuable for applications such as imaging, photodynamic therapy, photo-oxidative therapy, and photobiomodulation. In this review article, we provide an updated overview of the diverse applications of molecular light and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of molecular light across various domains. Lastly, we present forward-looking perspectives on the potential of molecular light in the realms of molecular imaging, photobiological mechanisms, therapeutic applications, and photobiomodulation. While some of these perspectives may be considered bold and contentious, our intent is to inspire further innovations in the field of molecular light applications.

Abstract
Optical three-dimensional (3D) molecular imaging is highly desirable for providing precise distribution of the target-of-interest in disease models. However, such 3D imaging is still far from wide applications in biomedical research; 3D brain optical molecular imaging, in particular, has rarely been reported. In this report, we designed chemiluminescence probes with high quantum yields, relatively long emission wavelengths, and high signal-to-noise ratios to fulfill the requirements for 3D brain imaging in vivo. With assistance from density-function theory (DFT) computation, we designed ADLumin-Xs by locking up the rotation of the double bond via fusing the furan ring to the phenyl ring. Our results showed that ADLumin-5 had a high quantum yield of chemiluminescence and could bind to amyloid beta (Aβ). Remarkably, ADLumin-5's radiance intensity in brain areas could reach 4 × 107 photon/s/cm2/sr, which is probably 100-fold higher than most chemiluminescence probes for in vivo imaging. Because of its strong emission, we demonstrated that ADLumin-5 could be used for in vivo 3D brain imaging in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
A two-photon excited fluorescent probe CMB-1 has been rationally developed for the detection and regeneration of formaldehyde based on a novel nucleophilic addition of a secondary amine to FA and subsequential alcoholysis reactivity mechanism. It enables a specific turn-on response towards formaldehyde and facilitates the monitoring of exogenous and endogenous formaldehyde in living cells via both one- and two-photon microscopy, with minimal influence on its native homeostasis and local concentration.

Abstract
As a common reactive metabolite in living organisms, abnormal levels of formaldehyde may cause diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, it is important to develop a sensitive and efficient method to understand the role of formaldehyde in physiology and pathology. Herein, a new fluorescent probe 4-phenyl-2-(trifluoromethyl) quinolin-7-hydrazino (QH-FA) was prepared for the detection of formaldehyde in near-total aqueous media with hydrazine as the reaction site and quinoline derivatives as the fluorophore. After reacting with formaldehyde, the hydrazine group formed methylenehydrazine and the fluorescence was significantly enhanced (223-fold) with large Stokes shift of 140 nm. Furthermore, the response of QH-FA to formaldehyde could be finished with in only 10 min with good selectivity, and can distinguish formaldehyde from other aldehydes. More remarkably, the estimated limit of detection of QH-FA is 8.1 nM, which is superior to those of previously reported formaldehyde fluorescent probes. At the end, we detected formaldehyde in cells and zebrafish using QH-FA in a near-total aqueous system and obtained fluorescence images by confocal microscopy.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA) is involved in multiple physiological regulatory processes and plays a crucial role in memory storage. Meanwhile, FA has a notorious reputation as a toxic compound, and it will cause a variety of diseases if its level is unbalanced in the human body. To date, there have been numerous fluorescent probes for FA imaging reported. Among them, the probes based on the 2-aza-Cope rearrangement have attracted the most attention, and their applications in cell imaging have been greatly expanded. Herein, we screened the various trigger moieties of FA fluorescent probes based on the mechanism of 2-aza-Cope rearrangement. FA-2, in which a fluorophore is connected to a 4-nitrobenzylamine group and an allyl group, demonstrated the highest sensitivity, selectivity, and reaction kinetics. Furthermore, FA-Lyso, derived from FA-2, has been successfully designed and applied to monitor exogenous and endogenous FA fluctuations in lysosomes of living cells.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA), the smallest molecular aldehyde with strong reducing properties, could regulate body homeostasis endogenously during physiological and pathological processes. The effective near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe is needed as a visualizer of FA in biologic organisms. In this work, a novel NIR fluorescent Probe-NHNH2 was designed on the basis of Probe-NH2 via introducing a strong nucleophilic hydrazine group, which can be used as a quenching and recognizing moiety for the detection of FA. With the treatment of FA, the hydrazine group of Probe-NHNH2 undergoes condensation and achieves a turn-on NIR fluorescence signal at a wavelength of 706 nm. The spectroscopic performance of Probe-NHNH2 for FA was evaluated, and it exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of FA in solution. Moreover, compared to the amine moiety-based Probe-NH2, which our group reported, we found that hydrazine moiety-based Probe-NHNH2, exhibited a better reaction time of within 10 min and a lower detection limit of 0.68 μM, reflecting that the reaction of FA with hydrazine moiety is faster and more sensitive than that of FA with the amino group. More importantly, Probe-NHNH2 was successfully applied to real-time imaging of endogenous FA by reacting with effective stimulant tetrahydrofolate and scavenger sodium bisulfite in zebrafish and mice. It is expected that we can provide a new rapid, sensitive NIR fluorescence theoretical basis for FA detection and in vivo imaging applications.

Abstract
Endogenous gases have attracted much attention due to their potent applications in disease therapies. The combined therapy, including gaseous molecules and other medicines that can create synergistic effects, is a new way for future treatment. However, due to the gaseous state, gas utilization in medical service is still limited. To pave the way for future usage, in this work, an amphiphilic block copolymer containing nitrobenzyl ether, 3-hydroxyflavone (3-HF) derivatives and ether linker was constructed. The nitrobenzyl ether group endows the polymer with a photo-responsive character. Upon light illumination, 3-HF derivatives can be triggered for carbon monoxide (CO) release. The ether linker can also be released emitting formaldehyde (FA). The self-assembly induced micelle can encompass medicine, e.g., doxorubicin (DOX), into it and a controlled release of DOX can be realized upon light illumination. As far as we know, there is no report on the combination donor of CO and DOX and this is the first attempt on the co-release of CO, FA and DOX.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is an abundant contaminant in food and environments causing various diseases. Thus, the development of fast, simple, and selective formaldehyde detection is of great interest. Herein, novel quinolizinium-based fluorescent probes were designed based on a 2-aza-Cope rearrangement reaction and showed high selectivity to formaldehyde by fluorescence emission shift. We successfully reduced the detection time by increasing the bulkiness of the homoallylic moiety. The probes were applied to detect formaldehyde in aqueous solution, serum, and paper format. Novel quinolizinium-based fluorescent probes were designed based on 2-aza-Cope rearrangement reaction to detect formaldehyde in aqueous solution, serum, and paper format. The use of a geminal dimethyl group allows fast response within 15 min.![]()

Abstract
This review explains various strategies for developing fluorescent probes to detect reactive carbonyl species (RCS). There are sevaral number of mono and diacarbonyls among 30 varieties of reactive carbonyl species (RCSs) so far discovered, which play pivotal roles in pathological processes such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, renal failure, and diabetes mellitus. These RCSs play essential roles in maintaining ion channels regulation, cellular signaling pathways, and metabolisms. Among RCSs, Carbon moxide (CO) is also utilized for its cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects. Fluorescence-based non-invasive optical tools have come out as one of the promising methods for analyzing the concentrations and co-localizations of these small metabolites. There has been a tremendous eruption in developing fluorescent probes for selective detection of specific RCSs within cellular and aqueous environments due to its high sensitivity, high spatial and temporal resolution of fluorescence imaging. Fluorescence-based sensing mechanisms such as intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), photoinduced electron transfer (PeT), excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) are described. In particular, probes for dicarbonyls such as methylglyoxal (MGO), malondialdehyde (MDA), along with monocarbonyls that include formaldehyde (FA), carbon monoxide (CO) and phosgene are discussed. One of the most exciting advances in this review is the summary of fluorescent probes of dicarbonyl compounds.
