Abstract
The viscosity and crowding of biological environment are considered vital for the correct cellular function, and alterations in these parameters are known to underly a number of pathologies including diabetes, malaria, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, to name a few. Over the last decades, fluorescent molecular probes termed molecular rotors proved extremely useful for exploring viscosity, crowding, and underlying molecular interactions in biologically relevant settings. In this review, we will discuss the basic principles underpinning the functionality of these probes and will review advances in their use as sensors for lipid order, protein crowding and conformation, temperature and non-canonical nucleic acid structures in live cells and other relevant biological settings.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease. Due to its complex pathological mechanism, its etiology is not yet clear. As one of the main pathological markers of AD, amyloid-β (Aβ) plays an important role in the development of AD. The deposition of Aβ is not only related to the degeneration of neurons, but also can activate a series of pathological events, including the activation of astrocytes and microglia, the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, and the change in microcirculation, which is the main cause of brain lesions and death in AD patients. Therefore, the development of efficient and reliable Aβ-specific probes is crucial for the early diagnosis and treatment of AD. This paper focuses on reviewing the application of small-molecule fluorescent probes in Aβ imaging in vivo in recent years. These probes efficiently map the presence of Aβ in vivo, providing a pathway for the early diagnosis of AD and providing enlightenment for the design of Aβ-specific probes in the future.

Abstract
The redox reaction between a bulky BODIPY and a magnesium(I) reducing agent leads to the formal one-electron reduction of the BODIPY, initially generating a dipyrromethene-centred radical compound that dimerises via C-C bond formation. In contrast, reduction with magnesium anthracene leads to the formal two-electron reduction of the BODIPY, resulting in the formation of the corresponding anion.

[PMID: 36674731 PMCID: PMC9860957 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24021217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
This research work is devoted to collecting a high-quality dataset of BODIPYs in a series of 10-30 solvents. In total, 115 individual compounds in 71 solvents are represented by 1698 arrays of the spectral and photophysical properties of the fluorophore. Each dye for a series of solvents is characterized by a calculated value of solvatochromic sensitivity according to a semiempirical approach applied to a series of solvents. The whole dataset is classified into 6 and 24 clusters of solvatochromic sensitivity, from high negative to high positive solvatochromism. The results of the analysis are visualized by the polarity mapping plots depicting, in terms of wavenumbers, the absorption versus emission, stokes shift versus - (absorption maxima + emission maxima), and quantum yield versus stokes shift. An analysis of the clusters combining several dyes in an individual series of solvents shows that dyes of a high solvatochromic sensitivity demonstrate regular behaviour of the corresponding plots suitable for polarity and viscosity mapping. The fluorophores collected in this study represent a high quality dataset of pattern dyes for analytical and bioanalytical applications. The developed tools could be applied for the analysis of the applicability domain of the fluorescent sensors.

Boron-containing compounds on neurons: Actions and potential applications for treating neurodegenerative diseases. J Inorg Biochem 2023; 238:112027.

Abstract
Boron-containing compounds (BCC) exert effects on neurons. After the expanding of both the identification and synthesis of new BCC, novel effects in living systems have been reported, many of these involving neuronal action. In this review, the actions of BCC on neurons are described; the effects have been inferred by boron deprivation or addition. Also, the effects can be related to those mediated by interaction on ionic channels, G-protein coupled receptors, or other receptors exerting modification on neuronal behavior. Additionally, BCC have exhibited effects by the modulation of inflammation or oxidative processes. BCC are expanding as drugs. Deprivation of boron sources from the diet shows the role of some natural BCC. However, the observations of several new synthesized compounds suggest their ability to act with attractive potency, efficacy, and long-term action on neuronal receptors or processes related with the origin and evolution of neurodegenerative processes. The details of BCC-target interactions are currently being elucidated in progress, as those observed from BCC-protein crystal complexes. Taking all of the above into account, the expansion is presumably near to having studies on the application of BCC as drugs on specific targets for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Quick and efficient detection of protein fibrils has enormous impact on the diagnosis and treatment of amyloid related neurological diseases. Among several methods, fluorescence based techniques have garnered most importance in the detection of amyloid fibrils due to its high sensitivity and extreme simplicity. Among other classes of molecular probes, BODIPY derivatives have been employed extensively for the detection of amyloid fibrils. However, there are very few studies on the relationship between the molecular structure of BODIPY dyes and their amyloid sensing activity. Here in a BODIPY based salicylaldimine Schiff base and its corresponding boron complex have been evaluated for their ability to sense amyloid fibrils from hen-egg white lysozyme using steady state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. Both dyes show fluorescence enhancement as well as increase in their excited state lifetime upon their binding with lysozyme fibrils. However, the BODIPY derivative which shows more emission enhancement in fibrillar solution has much lower affinity towards amyloid fibrils as compared to other derivative. This contrasting behaviour in the emission enhancement and binding affinity has been explained on the basis of differences in their photophysical properties in water and amyloid fibril originating from the difference in their molecular structure. Such correlation between the amyloid sensitivity and the molecular structure of the probe can open up a new strategy for designing new efficient amyloid probes.

Spanning BODIPY fluorescence with self-assembled micellar clusters. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2022; 216:112532.

Abstract
BODIPY dyes possess favorable optical properties for a variety of applications including in vivo and in vitro diagnostics. However, their utilization might be limited by their water insolubility and incompatibility with chemical modifications, resulting in low aggregation stability. Here, we outline the route for addressing this issue. We have demonstrated two approaches, based on dye entrapment in micellar coordination clusters (MCCs); this provides a general solution for water solubility as well as aggregation stability of the seven BODIPY derivatives. These derivatives have various bulky aromatic substituents in the 2,3,5,6- and meso-positions and can rotate relative to a dipyrrin core, which also provides molecular rotor properties. The molecular structural features and the presence of aromatic groups allows BODIPY dyes to be used as "supporting molecules", thus promoting micelle-micelle interaction and micellar network stabilization. In the second approach, self-micellization, following BODIPY use, leads to MCC formation without the use of any mediators, including chelators and/or metal ions. In both approaches, BODIPY exhibits an excellent optical response, at a concentration beyond its solubilization limit in aqueous media and without undesired crystallization. The suggested approaches represent systems used to encapsulate BODIPY in a capsule-based surfactant environment, enabling one to track the aggregation of BODIPY; these approaches represent an alternative system to study and apply BODIPY's molecular rotor properties. The stabilized compounds, i.e., the BODIPY-loaded MCCs, provide a unique feature of permeability to hydrophilic ligand-switching proteins such as BSA; they exhibit a bright "turn-on" fluorescence signal within the clusters via macromolecular complexation, thus expanding the possibilities of water-soluble BODIPY-loaded MCCs utilization for functional indicators.

Abstract
Microviscosity has a strong impact for diffusion-controlled processes in biological environments. BODIPY molecular rotors are viscosity-sensitive fluorophores that provide a simple and non-invasive way to visualise microviscosity. Although green fluorescent probes are already well developed for imaging, thick biological samples require longer wavelengths for investigation. This work focuses on the examination of novelβ-substitutedmeso-phenyl-BODIPYs possessing a red emission. We report a new red fluorescent BODIPY-based probe BP-Vinyl-NO2suitable for sensing microviscosity in rigid environments of over 100 000 cP viscosities. Furthermore, we demonstrate that changing the methyl position fromorthotometaon theβ-phenyl-substituted conjugate BP-PH-m2M-NO2redshifts absorbance and fluorescence spectra while maintaining viscosity sensitivity. Finally, we show that nitro-substitution ofmeso-phenyl is a versatile approach to improve the sensitivity to viscosity while suppressing sensitivity to polarity and temperature of such derivatives. In summary, we present two nitro-substituted red fluorescent probes that could be used as lifetime-based microviscosity sensors.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 272:120965.

Abstract
We have systematically examined the formation of singlet oxygen O2(1Δg), the excited triplet state (T1), and excited singlet state (S1) for halogenated BODIPY photosensitizers (halogen = Cl, Br, and I) in eight solvents to understand how halogen atoms and solvent affect these properties. The phosphorescence spectra and lifetimes of singlet oxygen generated by these halogenated BODIPYs have been measured by steady state/time resolved NIR emission, while the formation quantum yield of singlet oxygen (ΦΔ) has been determined by chemical method using diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as the trapping agent. The formation quantum yield ΦΔ of singlet oxygen can be as high as 0.96 for iodinated BODIPY and 0.71 for brominated BODIPY. The triplet state T1 absorption spectra of brominated and iodinated BODIPYs have been recorded by laser flash photolysis method, in which T1 shows high formation efficiency and long lifetime. The formation and decay of excited singlet state S1 of four BODIPYs have been measured by ground state (S0) absorption and steady state/time resolved fluorescence. The results show that larger halogen atoms on BODIPY core lead to smaller fluorescence quantum yield, shorter fluorescence lifetime and higher singlet oxygen formation quantum yield due to heavy atom effect that promotes the formation of triplet state. On the other hand, higher solvent polarity causes lower singlet oxygen formation quantum yield, smaller fluorescence quantum yield, and shorter fluorescence lifetime. This solvent effect is explained by the presence of photoinduced charge transfer (ICT) process from halogen atoms to BODIPY. The ICT efficiency has been estimated and the results are agreed with ICT theory. ICT process in halogenated BODIPYs has never been revealed in literature. HOMO/LUMO obtained from DFT calculation also supports the presence of ICT. The involvement of ICT in the photosensitizing process of halogenated BODIPYs provides new insights for designing BODIPY photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy of tumor.

Promethazine, an antihistamine drug used in the clinical treatment of nausea, has been demonstrated the ability to bind Abeta in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. However, so far, all of the studies were performed in vitro using extracted tissues. In this work, we report the design and synthesis of a novel [11C]promethazine PET radioligand for future in vivo studies. The [11C]promethazine was isolated by RP-HPLC with radiochemical purity >95% and molar activity of 48 TBq/mmol. The specificity of the probe was demonstrated using human hippocampal tissues via autoradiography.
