Abstract
The development of a rapid and convenient detection method for nitrofurantoin (NFT) residual is of great significance for food safety. Herein, a new fluorescent probe (Eu-TDCA-Phen) was developed for the visual and sensitive assay of NFT through the fluorescence quenching effect of inner filter effect (IFE) and photo-induced electron transfer (PET). The probe suspension demonstrates a wide linear range (0-0.16 mM), low detection limit (90 nM), high sensitivity, and rapid response time (2 min) in the "turn-off" process. To quantify the visual detection process, a smartphone-assisted test paper sensing platform was established and was applied for NFT determination in real honey samples, achieving satisfactory recovery rate ranges from 98.04 % to 105.04 %. Furthermore, a logic gate device was integrated with the sensing platform to streamline the visual detection process. The sensing platform offers several merits, including simpleness, quantification, portability and cost-effectiveness, making it highly suitable for real-time and on-site detection of antibiotics in food samples.

Abstract
Polarity is a significant intracellular environmental parameter associated with cancer, while cyanide (CN-) is known to be highly toxic to humans. In this work, we designed a dual-functional fluorescent probe (TPABT) for simultaneous detection of polarity and CN-. As a polarity sensor, the probe exhibits NIR emission at 766 nm in 1,4-dioxane (non-polar solvent), whose emission intensity is 71-fold stronger than that in water (polar solvent). Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity and quantum yield are linearly related to solvent polarity, confirming the polarity response ability of TPABT. For cell polarity detection, low cytotoxicity and polarity sensitivity of probe enable the applications for differentiating cancer cells (HeLa, 4TI) from normal cells (HUV, 3 T3) and monitoring the polarity changes of 4TI cells. As a CN- sensor, TPABT displays a turn-on fluorescence at 640 nm upon the addition of CN-, with advantages of anti-interference, response in aqueous media and low detection limit (22 nM). Additionally, we further explored the practical applications of TPABT for CN- determination in three types of real water samples (drinking water, tap water and lake water) and living cells. Notably, TPABT responses to polarity and CN- in two independent fluorescence channels of 766 and 640 nm, respectively, ensuring the dual functions for polarity and CN- sensing. Consequently, this multi-responsive fluorescent probe TPABT is promising to diagnose polarity-related diseases and detect CN- in real environments.

Abstract
N2H4 is a common raw material used in the production of pesticides and has good water solubility, so it may contaminate water sources and eventually enter living organisms, causing serious health problems. Viscosity is an important indicator of the cellular microenvironment and an early warning signal for many diseases. The high reactivity of hydrazine depletes glutathione (GSH) in hepatocytes, causing oxidative stress ultimately leading to significant changes in intracellular viscosity and even death. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an effective method to detect N2H4 and viscosity in environmental and biological systems. On this basis, we developed two fluorescent probes, BDD and BHD, based on xanthene and 2-benzothiazole acetonitrile. The experimental results show that BHD and BDD have good imaging capabilities for N2H4 in cells, zebrafish and Arabidopsis. BHD and BDD also showed sensitive detection and fluorescence enhancement in the near-infrared region when the intracellular viscosity was changed. Notably, the probe BDD has also successfully imaged N2H4 in a variety of real water samples.

Abstract
The detection of nitroaromatic explosives in real samples is essential for environmental monitoring because of their strongly powerful nature and wide applications in industries. Aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) active fluorescent probe has been widely employed to detect nitroaromatic explosives. Hereby, a simple V-shaped bispyrene-based fluorescent probe (called py-o) with AIEE properties was designed and synthesized, which was fully charactered by 1D NMR, ESI, FTIR, and 2D NOESY spectra. The py-o displayed bright blue-green fluorescence excimer emission at 480 nm in DMF/H2O (v/v 1:1). It is observed that the fluorescence excimer emission of py-o at 480 nm was quenched by PA in solution with a quenching constant of 5.45 × 104 M-1, and the limit of detection was approximately 0.139 μM. The details of the sensing mechanism were explained using 1H NMR titrations, Job's plot and Bensi-Hildebrand methods, which revealed a 1:1 binding ratio via the π-π interactions between PA and py-o. Meanwhile, it exhibited outstanding anti-interference ability in the detection of PA when interfering analytes were added under the same conditions. Furthermore, low-cost thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates coated with py-o were developed as fluorescent tools for naked-eye detection of PA in the solid state. Therefore, this work provides a new method for constructing an AIEE fluorescent probe for the detection of nitroaromatic explosives to utilize in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can be used as a marker for the occurrence of oxidative stress in the organism. Lysosomes serve as intracellular digestive sites, and when the concentration of H2O2 in them is abnormal, lysosomal function is often impaired, leading to the development of diseases. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) acts as a gaseous signaling molecule that scavenges H2O2 from cells and tissues, thereby maintaining the redox environment of the body. However, most of the reported hydrogen peroxide fluorescent probes so far can only detect H2O2, but cannot maintain the intracellular redox environment. In this paper, an H2O2 fluorescent probe LN-HOD with lysosomal targeting properties was designed and synthesized by combining the H2O2 recognition site with a naphthylamine fluorophore via a thiocarbamate moiety. The probe has the advantages of large Stokes shift (110 nm), high sensitivity and good H2S release capability. The probe LN-HOD can be used to detect H2O2 in cells, zebrafish and plant roots. In addition, LN-HOD detects changes in the concentration of H2O2 in plant roots when Arabidopsis is stressed by cadmium ion (Cd2+). And through its ability to release H2S, it can help to remove excess H2O2 and maintain the redox environment in cells, zebrafish and plant roots. The present work provides new ideas for the detection and assisted removal of H2O2, which contributes to the in-depth study of the cellular microenvironment in organisms.

Abstract
In this study, we report a new carbazole-malononitrile fluorescent probe CBC with an interesting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic. Probe CBC could rapidly and selectively detect hydrazine (N2H4) in ~100% aqueous media, and also exhibit an exceedingly low detection limit of 6.3 nM for sensitively detecting N2H4. The sensing mechanism of CBC towards N2H4 has been well demonstrated through the spectra of 1H NMR, HRMS and FTIR. Interestingly, probe CBC was applied to visualize and detect gaseous and aqueous N2H4 with sensitive color changes. Importantly, probe CBC was applied to effectively detect N2H4 in practical samples such as soil, human serum, human urine, plants, foods and beverages, as well as sensitively sense and image N2H4 in biological systems including living mungbean sprouts, Arabidopsis thaliana, and HeLa cells.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is used in food preservation. However, excessive HClO can deteriorate nutritional composition of food, compromise its quality, and potentially induce various diseases. Consequently, the development of multifunctional fluorescent probes for the sensitive and selective detection of HClO is highly anticipated for food safety. In this work, we designed a nanoprobe using N-aminomorpholine (AM)-functionalized bromine-doped carbon dots (Br-CDs-AM) for sensing HClO. This nanoprobe exhibits pH stability, strong resistance to photobleaching, superior long-term photostability (12 weeks), high sensitivity (19.3 nM), and an ultrarapid response (8 s) for detecting HClO residues in food matrices with percentage recovery (96.5 %-108 %) and RSDs less than 5.34 %. In addition, extremely low cytotoxicity and outstanding biocompatibility enable the nanoprobe to be used primarily for lysosome tracking and rapidly visualizing HClO in live cells. Thus, this study provides a new pathway to design unconventional nanoprobes for food safety assessment and subcellular organelle-specific imaging HClO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) plays an important role in cell metabolism and has been regarded as an indicator of cell survival and damage. Golgi apparatus participates in the signal transduction processes of substance transport, ion homeostasis and stress when extracellular substances enter cells. Till now, there is no fluorescent probe for monitoring Golgi ATP level fluctuation and visualizing the configuration change of the Golgi apparatus during the inhibition of glycolysis. RESULTS Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel water-soluble cationic polythiophene derivative (PEMTEA) that can be employed as a fluorescent sensor for measuring ATP in the Golgi apparatus. PEMTEA self-assembles into PT-NP nanoparticles in aqueous solution with a diameter of approximately 2 nm. PT-NP displays high sensitivity and superb selectivity towards ATP with a detection limit of 90 nM and a linear detection range from 0 to 3.0 μM. The nanoparticles show low toxicity to HepG2 cells and good photostability in the Golgi apparatus. With the stimulation of Ca2+, PT-NP was practically applied to real-time monitor of endogenous ATP levels in the Golgi apparatus through fluorescence microscopy. Finally, we studied the relationship between the concentration of ATP and configuration of the Golgi apparatus during the inhibition of glycolysis using PT-NP. SIGNIFICANCE We have demonstrated that PT-NP can not only indicate the fluctuation and distribution of ATP in the Golgi apparatus, but also give the information of the configuration change of the Golgi apparatus at the single-cell level during the inhibition of glycolysis.

Abstract
A fluorescent probe of both colorimetric and ratiometric type for highly selective and sensitive detection of Cys (cysteine) is very important in biological analysis. In this work, a new colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent probe ((E)-2-(2-(5-(4-(acryloyloxy)phenyl)furan-2-yl)vinyl)-3-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-3-ium iodide, LP-1) was designed and synthesized for the detection of Cys. The reaction mechanism of LP-1 toward Cys involves a conjugate addition reaction between Cys and the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group, leading to the formation of an intermediate thioether, followed by intramolecular cyclization to produce the desired compounds LP-1-OH. At this point, the ICT process is activated, significantly increasing the fluorescence intensity of the molecules. Meanwhile, LP-1 is highly selective and sensitive to Cys identification under optimized experimental conditions. LP-1 shows a good linear relationship in the range of Cys concentration from 0.40 μM to 40 μM (R2 = 0.9942) and the limit of detection (LOD) of Cys is 0.19 μM. In addition, we have developed a simple, portable and low-cost smartphone-based high-sensitivity Cys detection method based on naked eye obvious color detection. LP-1 also has low cell toxicity and can be successfully used for biological imaging of Cys, suggesting that it is a promising biological application tool for Cys detection.

Abstract
Viscosity is a pivotal component in the cell microenvironment, while lysosomal viscosity fluctuation is associated with various human diseases, such as tumors and liver diseases. Herein, a near-infrared fluorescent probe (BIMM) based on merocyanine dyes was designed and synthesized for detecting lysosomal viscosity in live cells and liver tissue. The increase in viscosity restricts the free rotation of single bonds, leading to enhanced fluorescence intensity. BIMM exhibits high sensitivity and good selectivity, and is applicable to a wide pH range. BIMM has near-infrared emission, and the fluorescent intensity shows an excellent linear relationship with viscosity. Furthermore, BIMM possessing excellent lysosomes-targeting ability, and can monitor viscosity changes in live cells stimulated by dexamethasone, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and nigericin, and differentiate between cancer cells and normal cells. Noticeably, BIMM can accurately analyze viscosity changes in various liver disease models with HepG2 cells, and is successfully utilized to visualize variations in viscosity on APAP-induced liver injury. All the results demonstrated that BIMM is a powerful wash-free tool to monitor the viscosity fluctuations in living systems.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a burgeoning iron-dependent cell death form, and has close relation with hypochlorous acid (HClO). Exploring the fluctuation of the HClO level in living cells during ferroptosis could contribute to the profound study of the biological functions of HClO during ferroptosis. Here, we present a turn-on probe (RH-C) for the imaging of intracellular HClO during ferroptosis. The probe RH-C utilized the N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate group as a selective recognition site for HClO, and displayed desirable sensitivity and selectivity to HClO. The probe RH-C could detect the exogenous and endogenous HClO in living cells. Furthermore, RH-C was competent in monitoring the changes of endogenous HClO level during the process of ferroptosis. Biological imaging results suggested that erastin-induced ferroptosis can result in the excessive production of the endogenous HClO, and ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) and vitamin E (VE) could block the massive accumulation of HClO in living cells.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that has been proposed to be a key signaling molecule in migraine. Migraine is a neurological disorder that is linked to irregular NO levels, which necessitates precise NO quantification for effective diagnosis and treatment. This work introduces a novel fluorescent probe, 2,3-diaminonaphthelene-1,4-dione (DAND), which was designed and synthesized to selectively detect NO in-vitro and in-vivo as a migraine biomarker. DAND boasts high aqueous solubility, biocompatibility, and facile synthesis, which enable highly selective and sensitive detection of NO under physiological conditions. NO reacts with diamine moieties (recognition sites) of DAND, results in the formation of a highly fluorescent product (DAND-NO) known as 1H-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole-4,9-dione at λem 450 nm. The fluorescence turn-on sensing mechanism operates through an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. To maximize fluorescence signal intensity, parameters including DAND concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time and pH were systematically optimized for sensitive and precise NO determination. The enhanced detection capability (LOD = 0.08 μmol L-1) and high selectivity of the probe make it a promising tool for NO detection in brain tissue homogenates. This demonstrates the potential diagnostic value of the probe for individuals suffering from migraine. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the potential role of zolmitriptan (ZOLM), an antimigraine medication, in modulating NO levels in the brain of rats with nitroglycerin-induced migraine, emphasizing its significant impact on reducing NO levels. The obtained results could have significant implications for understanding how ZOLM affects NO levels and may aid in the development of more targeted and effective migraine treatment strategies.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2), as a reliable signaling biomolecule for oxidative stress, its accurate detection during agent-stimulated oxidative stress plays a vital role in pathological and physiological mechanism exploration for disease theranostics. It's necessary to develop an efficient method for their detection. In view of the advantages of fluorescent probes, we rationally constructed a novel fluorescent probe Compound 2 based on 4-(Bromomethyl)benzeneboronic acid pinacol ester_Herein, a small molecule fluorescent probe was fabricated using isoflore nitrile as fluorescent group, phenylboronic acid pinacol ester as the response group, to detect H2O2. The probe Compound 2 has a strong fluorescence intensity at 575 nm, indicating that the structure of the probe molecule is reasonably designed, and the Stokes shift is up to 172 nm. While the detection time is as low as 30 s and the LOD of the probe for H2O2 is as low as 3.7 μmol/L,the quantum yield is Φ = 40.31 %. It has been successfully used for imaging detection of H2O2 in HepG2 cells and zebrafish for its low toxicity. It can be found that this small molecule fluorescent probe can identify H2O2 in tumor cells significantly and efficiently, which would realize the early diagnosis of tumor.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and its derivatives (HSO3- and SO32-) are widely used in food-processing. Whereas excessive consumption of sulfur dioxide and its derivatives (>0.70 mg·kg-1day-1) severely endangers human health. In this work, we rationally constructed a practical dual-mode probe (dicyanomethylene)-1-methyl-1,4-dihydroquinolin-2-yl)vinyl)-1-methylquinolinium (QMN), which underwent a specific 1, 4-Michael addition with sulfite to afford a noticeable color change from pale yellow to red along with a high-contrast fluorescence turn-on response at 598 nm. QMN has the advantages of rapid response, high signal-to-noise ratio, excellent selectivity, good water-solubility, large Stokes shift and low detection limit (LOD = 31.9 nM). QMN has been successfully used to on-site visually determine sulfite in a diversity of foods with satisfactory recoveries (91.33-111.33 %) and high accuracy (93.74-98.71 %). Furthermore, a portable smartphone-based fluorescence sensing platform was fabricated for on-site determination of sulfite in food with good performance.

Abstract
Cell apoptosis is a crucial physiological process playing central roles in key biological and pathological activities. However, the current fluorescent probes for the detection of late apoptosis were "off-on" probes, which were facilely interfered by false positive signals caused by inhomogeneous staining and other factors. Herein, a unique fluorescent probe (NPn) discriminating late apoptosis from early apoptosis and heathy status with two different sets of fluorescent signals have been prepared, to overcome the possible false positive signals. NPn was designed impermeable to biomembranes and simultaneously with high affinity to DNA/RNA, which localized on the plasma membranes of living and early apoptotic cells, while relocated to the nucleus in late apoptotic cells. The hydrophilic amine unit and small ion radius were responsive for its membrane impermeability, which was confirmed with two control molecules without amine group. Using the probe, we have successfully evaluated the cell apoptosis induced by ultraviolet irradiation, rotenone, colchicine, and paclitaxel, demonstrating its potential application in biological researches.

Abstract
In this study, we have effectively prepared a novel fluorescent probe named HDXM based on benzopyran derivatives for the ultrafast detection (within 3 s) of SO2 derivatives or biogenic amines. HDXM showed a noticeable color change after the addition of SO2 derivatives (from purple to colorless) or biogenic amines (from purple to blue), indicating that HDXM can identify two analytes with the naked eye. It is worth noting that HDXM can be used to detect SO2 derivatives in actual sugar samples, and to image HSO3-/SO32- in living cells. More importantly, sensing labels (HDXM-loaded filter paper or agarose hydrogel) enable real-time visual monitoring of salmon freshness through colorimetric and fluorescence dual channels. Compared with the Chinese national standard method, the sensing label is an effective tool for evaluating the freshness of fish. Benefiting from its excellent solubility and fluorescence performance, HDXM can be used as a versatile fluorescent material in various applications, including flexible films, glass coatings, impregnating dyes, printing, and fingerprint ink. HDXM is expected to be a promising and valuable multifunctional tool for food safety and fluorescent materials.

Abstract
Sulfite is one of the main existing forms of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in living system, which has been recognized as an endogenous mediator in inflammation. Evidence has accumulated to show that abnormal level of sulfite is associated with many inflammatory diseases, including neurological diseases and cancers. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe named QX-OA was designed and synthesized to detect sulfite. QX-OA was constructed by choosing quinolinium-xanthene as the fluorophore and levulinate as the specific and relatively steady recognition reaction. The probe showed remarkable green turn-on signal at 550 nm, together with high sensitivity (90-fold) and excellent selectivity to sulfite over other possible interfering species. In the meantime, QX-OA was successfully applied to visualize endogenous and exogenous sulfite in Hela cells. In the LPS-induced inflammation model, QX-OA could visualize the dose-dependent increase of sulfite level (0-2 mg/mL). Consequently, QX-OA was determined to be a potential method for detecting sulfite in pre-clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
To study the collaboration between lipid droplets (LDs) and lysosomes, and the lipid change in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), herein two pH-triggered hydrophility-adjustable fluorescent probes (LD-Lyso and LD-Lyso 1) are designed. The mechanism is based on cyclization and ring-opening with thorough consideration of pH and hydrophilic differences between LDs and lysosomes. Both of the two probes exist in ring-opening form and emit red fluorescence in acidic environment, while they exist in cyclized form and the emission is blueshifted in alkaline environment due to reduced conjugate planes. Moreover, LD-Lyso exhibits near infrared fluorescence at 740 nm under ring-opening form, which facilitates further cell, tissue, and in vivo imaging. The cell imaging results show that LD-Lyso can simultaneously target LDs and lysosomes by two different colors. Impressively, LD-Lyso cannot only detect NAFLD tissues from the normal tissue, but also distinguish different degrees of NAFLD tissues and mice, which provides a very promising tool for timely diagnosis of early NAFLD.

After careful characterization of the obtained ALEN-GQDs, they were successfully employed as sensing materials with superior selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of nanomolar levels of arsenic ions (As(III)). According to the mechanistic investigation, arsenic ions can quench the fluorescence intensity of ALEN-GQDs through metal-ligand interaction between the As(III) ions and the surface functional groups of the fluorescent probe. This probe provided a rapid method to monitor As(III) with a wide detection range (44 nM-1.30 µM) and a low detection limit of 13 nM. Finally, to validate the applicability, this novel fluorescent probe was successfully applied for the quantitative determination of As(III) in rice and water samples.

Abstract
Determining the activity of lysosomal β-hexosaminidase in cells is of great importance for understanding the roles that these enzymes play in pathophysiological events. Herein, we designed the new fluorescent probe, βGalNAc-Rhod-CM(NEt2), which consisted of a βGalNAc-linked rhodol unit serving as a β-hexosaminidase reactive fluorogenic moiety and a N,N'-diethylaminocoumarin (CM(NEt2)) group acting as a fluorescence marker for determining the degree of cell permeabilization. Treatment of βGalNAc-Rhod-CM(NEt2) with β-hexosaminidase promoted generation of Rhod-CM(NEt2), thereby leading to an increase in the intensity of fluorescence of Rhod. However, this probe did not respond to the functionally related glycosidase, O-GlcNAcase. The detection limit of βGalNAc-Rhod-CM(NEt2) for β-hexosaminidase was determined to be 0.52 nM, indicating that it has high sensitivity for this enzyme. Furthermore, the probe functioned as an excellent fluorogenic substrate for β-hexosaminidase with kcat and Km values of 17 sec-1 and 22 μM, respectively. The results of cell studies using βGalNAc-Rhod-CM(NEt2) showed that levels of β-hexosaminidase activity in cells can be determined by measuring the intensity of fluorescence arising from Rhod and that the intensity of fluorescence of CM(NEt2) can be employed to determine the degree of cell permeabilization of the probe. Utilizing the new probe, we assessed β-hexosaminidase activities in several types of cells and evaluated the effect of glucose concentrations in culture media on the activity of this enzyme.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is emerging as a double-edged molecule, while plays vital roles in food and biological system. However, the fast, highly sensitive, and versatile fluorescent probe still remains a tough challenge among current reports. Herein, we developed a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorescent probe TPE-PN for specifically sensing SO2 derivatives with high sensitivity (150 nmol/L) and rapid response time (10 s) based on intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. And the fluorescence at 575 nm decreased tremendously with 31-fold after the probe was treated with HSO3-. Employing the probe, the accurate analysis of HSO3- was successfully realized in food samples, cells, plant tissues, and zebrafishes. Furthermore, we successfully demonstrate the eruption of SO2 derivatives within plant during drought and salt stress processes. Therefore, probe TPE-PN illustrates significant potential for applications in food analysis and monitoring of SO2 derivatives levels in biological systems under stress conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Al exists naturally in the environment and is an important component in acidic soils, which harm almost all plants. Furthermore, Al is widely used in food additives, cosmetics, and medicines, resulting in living organisms ingesting traces of Al orally or dermally every day. Accordingly, Al accumulates in the body, which can cause negative bioeffects and diseases, and this concern is gaining increasing attention. Therefore, to detect and track Al in the environment and in living organisms, the development of novel Al-selective probes that are water-soluble and exhibit fluorescence at long wavelengths is necessary. RESULTS In this study, an Al3+-selective fluorescent probe PSP based on a novel pyrone molecule was synthesized and characterized to detect and track Al in biological systems. PSP exhibited fluorescence enhancement at 580 nm in the presence of Al3+ in aqueous media. Binding analysis using Job's plot and structural analysis using 1H NMR showed that PSP formed a 1:1 complex with Al3+ at the two carbonyl groups of the dimethyl malonate of the pyrone ring. Upon testing in biological systems, PSP showed good cell membrane permeability, detected intracellular Al3+ in human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), and successfully imaged accumulated Al3+ in Microcystis aeruginosa and the larvae of Rheocricotopus species. SIGNIFICANCE The novel Al3+-selective fluorescent probe PSP is highly effective and is expected to aid in elucidating the role of Al3+ in the environment and living organisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer as a leading cause of premature death worldwide has become a major threat to human health due to the high incidence and mortality. Monitoring tumor markers are reliable and significantly important for early detection of cancers. In complex biological systems, it is of great urgency but still remains challenging to conceive a fluorescent probe with multiple tumor markers detection property. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and pH are two target biomarkers for diagnosis of early cancer. The preparation of a novel probe with H2S and pH dual detection functions is highly anticipated. RESULTS Herein, a novel sequential detection probe HTPQ-HS for H2S and pH has been developed. In this system, HPQ (2-(2 -hydroxyphenyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinone) structure combined with triphenylamine is applied as the fluorophore, and 2, 4-dinitrophenylsulfonyl group is used as the recognition group. In the presence of H2S, HTPQ-HS is transformed into product HTPQ-OH which shows fluorescence enhancement (29-fold) at 525 nm in less than 4 min and further displays repeatable acid-base responsive ability. HTPQ-HS is able to sequentially response to H2S and pH in living cells and does not react directly with pH. Owing to the low cytotoxicity, HTPQ-HS is able to detect exogenous and endogenous H2S in colon cancer cells and mice, monitor H2S in inflammation model and in foodstuffs. As the environment changes from acidic to alkaline, the fluorescence intensity ratio (I470/I530) of product HTPQ-OH changes remarkably, illustrating the ratiometric fluorescent responsiveness to pH. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY A multifunctional fluorescent probe HTPQ-HS for sequential detection of H2S and pH is synthesized. Probe HTPQ-OH realizes the monitoring of dynamic changes in intracellular pH and displays prospective application in security printing. We expect that our work could offer an important guidance on the development of multifunctional fluorescent probes for visualizing H2S and pH in biology and environment.

Abstract
We have prepared a simple, universal and efficient coumarin-derived fluorescent probe (XDS1) to detecting HOCl. The experimental findings revealed that the introduction of HOCl produced an obvious quenching effect on the probe with high selectivity and sensitivity. The calculated limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 0.02 μM. Furthermore, an impressive response time of less than 10 s was observed when XDS1 detecting HOCl. Importantly, the probe XDS1 exhibited negligible cytotoxicity, thereby facilitating its application for imaging HOCl within biological environment. The probe XDS1 had been successfully used for specific detection in cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ferroptosis, as a novel form of cell death, is becoming one of the hot topics in cancer treatment research. It differs from necrosis and autophagy in that it involves the accumulation of lipid peroxides and is triggered by iron dependency. Recent studies have suggested that this mechanism may alter the viscosity or structure of lipid droplets (LDs). The relationship between LDs viscosity and ferroptosis remains an active area of research with limited reports at present. Additionally, there is a lack of effective anticancer drugs targeting the ferroptosis pathway to promote ferroptosis in tumour cells. Therefore, the development of tools to detect viscosity changes during ferroptosis and targeted therapeutic strategies is of great significance. RESULTS By coupling 1,3-indandione with naphthalimide, including decamethylamine as a LDs recognition group, we designed and synthesized an environmental fluorescent probe that induces intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) effects. Notably, the diffusion and transport of intracellular substances may be affected in highly viscous environments. Under such conditions, intracellular iron ions may accumulate, leading to peroxide production and cellular damage, which can trigger ferroptosis. Therefore, WD-1 achieved excellent in situ bioimaging of LDs targeting and its viscosity during ferroptosis in HeLa cells and zebrafish. Furthermore, it was observed that WD-1 effectively differentiated between malignant and normal cells during this process, highlighting its potential significance in distinguishing cellular states. In addition, we used the antitumour drug paclitaxel to study ferroptosis in cancer cells. These findings not only provide an excellent tool for the development of the ferroptosis response, but also are crucial for understanding the biological properties of LDs during the ferroptosis response. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY Based on a powerful tool of fluorescent probe with in vivo bioimaging, we developed WD-1 to track the impact of paclitaxel on the process of ferroptosis in living cells. Therefore, we preliminarily believe that paclitaxel may affect the occurrence of ferroptosis and control apoptosis in cancer cells. These findings not only serve as an exceptional tool for advancing our understanding of the ferroptosis response, but furthermore play a vital role in comprehending the biological characteristics of LDs in relation to ferroptosis.

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
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and cell plasma membrane (CPM) are two key factors in cell pyroptosis during the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, their combined temporal and spatial roles in initiating AAA pathogenesis remain unclear. Herein, we developed a two-photon fluorescence probe, BH-Vis, enabling real-time dynamic detection of CPM and ONOO- changes, and revealing their interplay in AAA. BH-Vis precisely targets CPM with reduced red fluorescence intensity correlating with diminished CPM tension. Concurrently, a blue shift of the fluorescence signal of BH-Vis occurs in response to ONOO- offering a reliable ratiometric detection mode with enhanced accuracy by minimizing external testing variables. More importantly, two photon confocal imaging with palmitic acid (PA) and ganglioside (GM1) manipulation, which modulating cell pyroptosis, showcases reliable fluorescence fluctuations. This groundbreaking application of BH-Vis in a mouse AAA model demonstrates its significant potential for accurately identifying cell pyroptosis levels during AAA development.

Abstract
Fluorescent copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) was synthesized by one-step chemical reduction method using ascorbic acid (AA) and copper sulfate (CuSO4⋅5H2O) as raw materials, which had good water solubility and fluorescence properties. A green, simple and safe CuNPs@Fe2+ fluorescence probe was developed for the detection of hydrogen peroxide and glucose using Fe2+ as a bridge. The prepared CuNPs could obtain the maximum fluorescence emission wavelength at 440 nm when the excitation wavelength was 360 nm. The average particle size of CuNPs was 10 nm, which had good photobleach resistance, stability and salt tolerance. The fluorescence intensity was quenched due to electron transfer (ET) process when hydrogen peroxide was added to CuNPs@Fe2+ system. This result was mainly because Fenton reaction occured between hydrogen peroxide and Fe2+, producing hydroxyl free radicals (OH) and Fe3+. Since glucose could be catalyzed by specific glucose oxidase (GOX) to produce H2O2 and corresponding oxidation products, the quantitative analysis of glucose was realized when glucose oxidase was introduced into the CuNPs@Fe2+ sensor system. Therefore, a novel CuNPs@Fe2+ fluorescent probe sensor study was constructed to further achieve quantitative detection of H2O2 and glucose. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the linear ranges for H2O2 and glucose were 28.219-171.562 μM and 1.237-75.771 μM, respectively. And the detection limits for H2O2 and glucose were 7.169 μM and 0.540 μM, respectively. In addition, the mechanism of fluorescence probe quenching caused by the interaction between H2O2 and CuNPs@Fe2+ was also discussed. The proposed sensing system had been applied successfully to the detection of glucose in human serum samples.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an emerging iron-dependent oxidative cell death type, and recently has been demonstrated to show close relation with Golgi apparatus (GA). Exploring the fluctuation of superoxide anion (O2•-) level in GA during ferroptosis is of great significance to profoundly study the biological functions of GA in ferroptosis. Here, we present a GA-targeting probe (N-GA) to monitor cellular O2•- during ferroptosis. N-GA employed a triflate group and a tetradecanoic amide unit as the recognition site for O2•- and GA-targeting unit, respectively. After the response of N-GA to O2•-, the triflate unit of N-GA converted into hydroxyl group with strong electron-donating ability, generating bright green fluorescence under UV light. N-GA exhibited excellent sensitivity and selectivity towards O2•-. Fluorescence imaging results showed that N-GA could be applied as a GA-targeting probe to monitor cellular O2•-. The stimulation of cells with PMA and rotenone could result in the massive generation of endogenous O2•- in GA. Erastin-induced ferroptosis can markedly induce the increase of O2•- level in GA. Similar to Fer-1 and DFO, dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) and rutin were demonstrated to inhibit the enormous production of O2•- in GA of the living cells during ferroptosis.

Abstract
Given the extensive need for the detection of hydrazine (N2H4) in the biomedical and chemical-pharmaceutical sectors, there is a necessity to devise a fast, sensitive, specific, and portable technique for precisely quantifying hydrazine at environmental levels. In our work, an "OFF-ON" type fluorescent probe namely 2-(4-(10-(naphthalen-2-yl)anthracen-9-yl)phenyl)isoindole-1,3-dione (NAP), which was inspired by the "Gabriel" reaction, was synthesized. The NAP fluorescent cellulose film successfully achieved the detection of hydrazine vapor with a LOD = 0.658 ppm. Compared to previous qualitative methods for detecting hydrazine, this study successfully achieved quantitative identification of hydrazine at low concentrations. In addition, a portable sensor device based on NAP cellulose film was successfully integrated, enabling ultra-sensitive, wireless, remote, and real-time detection of N2H4 vapor. It was determined that the probe (NAP) exhibited excellent detection performance when applied to various environmental samples including distilled water, tap water, creek water, soil and plants. This study introduces a potentially effective approach for detecting hydrazine in real-world settings.

Abstract
Abnormal physiological processes and diseases can lead to content or activity fluctuations of biocomponents in organelles and whole blood. However, precise monitoring of these abnormalities remains extremely challenging due to the insufficient sensitivity and accuracy of available fluorescence probes, which can be attributed to the background fluorescence arising from two sources, 1) biocomponent autofluorescence (BCAF) and 2) probe intrinsic fluorescence (PIF). To overcome these obstacles, we have re-engineered far-red to NIR II rhodol derivatives that possess weak BCAF interference. And a series of "zero" PIF sensing-platforms were created by systematically regulating the open-loop/spirocyclic forms. Leveraging these advancements, we devised various ultra-sensitive NIR indicators, achieving substantial fluorescence boosts (190 to 1300-fold). Among these indicators, 8-LAP demonstrated accurate tracking and quantifying of leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) in whole blood at various stages of tumor metastasis. Furthermore, coupling 8-LAP with an endoplasmic reticulum-targeting element enabled the detection of ERAP1 activity in HCT116 cells with p53 abnormalities. This delicate design of eliminating PIF provides insights into enhancing the sensitivity and accuracy of existing fluorescence probes toward the detection and imaging of biocomponents in abnormal physiological processes and diseases.

Abstract
The considerable risk posed by Au3+ residues to the environment and human health has sparked interest in researching Au3+ monitoring techniques. The detection results in the usual ratio mode are more reliable. In this work, we develop a dual-mode strategy based on reducing carbon dots coupling with two-signal ratiometric and colorimetric methods for high-sensitivity, good-selectivity, and wide-range detection of Au3+. Cyan carbon dots (C-CDs) were synthesized by a simple and efficient one-step hydrothermal method. The C-CDs with rich amino group used m-phenylenediamine as carbon source, which made it have the potential as a reducing agent. After the addition of Au3+, Au3+ was reduced to Au0, generating stable gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The fluorescence signal (F490) of C-CDs decreased. At the same time, the large size of AuNPs enhances the second-order scattering signal (S770) and produces the UV-visible absorption peak of AuNPs. Therefore, the dual-mode sensing strategy combining S770/F490 ratiometric and colorimetric detection of Au3+ is realized with high accuracy and sensitivity. Au3+ was determined in real samples and a good recovery was obtained. The dual-mode method has good performance and practicality, so it shows great potential for environment testing in a simple and reliable way.

Abstract
A naphthalimide Schiff base fluorescent probe (BSS) was designed and synthesized from 4-bromo-1,8-naphthalic anhydride, and its structure was characterized by 1HNMR, 13CNMR, FTIR, and MS. Fluorescence emission spectra showed that probe BSS could realize the "turn-off" detection of Cu2+ in acetonitrile solution, detection process with strong specificity and excellent anti-interference of other metal ions. In the fluorescence titration experiments, fluorescence intensity of BSS showed a good linear relationship with the Cu2+ concentration (0-10 µmol/L), and the detection limit was up to 7.0 × 10- 8 mol/L. Meanwhile, BSS and Cu2+ could form a 1:1 complex (BSS-Cu2+) during the reaction process. Under the same detection conditions, complex BSS-Cu2+ had specific fluorescence recovery properties for H2PO4- and the whole process was not only fast (6 s) but also free of interference from other anions, with a detection limit was as low as 5.7 × 10- 8 mol/L. In addition, complex BSS-Cu2+ could be successfully applied to the detection of H2PO4- in actual water samples, which with excellent application prospects.

Abstract
A novel reaction-based ratiometric fluorescent probe 1 for Cu2+ using picolinate as the reaction site and hemicyanine as the fluorophore was developed. 1 displayed maximum absorption peak at 355 nm and fluorescence emission peak at 500 nm, with large Stokes shift of 145 nm. Upon reaction with Cu2+, the maximum absorption and fluorescence emission peaks red-shifted to 390 nm and 570 nm respectively, owing to Cu2+-induced hydrolysis of the picolinate moiety in 1. Meanwhile, the solution of 1 turned from green to orange under a 365 nm UV lamp. 1 not only could detect Cu2+ ratiometrically by the ratios of both absorbance (A390 nm/A355 nm) and fluorescence intensity (F570 nm/F500 nm), but also displayed large Stokes shift, fast response, high sensitivity and excellent selectivity over other metal ions in neat aqueous solution.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer was one of the major malignant tumors threatening human health and β-Gal was recognized as a principal biomarker for primary colorectal cancer. Thus, designing specific and efficient quantitative detection methods for measuring β-Gal enzyme activity was of great clinical test significance. Herein, an ultrasensitive detection method based on Turn-on fluorescence probe (CS-βGal) was reported for visualizing the detection of exogenous and endogenous β-galactosidase enzyme activity. The test method possessed a series of excellent performances, such as a significant fluorescence enhancement (about 11.3-fold), high selectivity as well as superior sensitivity. Furthermore, under the optimal experimental conditions, a relatively low limit of detection down to 0.024 U/mL was achieved for fluorescence titration experiment. It was thanks to the better biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, CS-βGal had been triumphantly employed to visual detect endogenous and exogenous β-Gal concentration variations in living cells with noteworthy anti-interference performance. More biologically significant was the fact that the application of CS-βGal in BALB/c nude mice was also achieved successfully for monitoring endogenous β-Gal enzyme activity.

Abstract
The monitoring of formaldehyde (FA) in biosystems and real foods is critical for ensuring human health and food safety. However, the development of effective and highly selective assays for sensing FA in organisms and real food samples remains challenging. Herein, a hydrophilic group-modified the probe (Nap-FA) was reported, which utilizes the specific chemical reaction between FA and hydrazino to trigger a "turn-on" fluorescence response. The probe Nap-FA displayed superior selectivity, high sensitivity, good photostability and a low detection limit in the reaction with FA. Notably, Nap-FA has been successfully used for imaging FA in cells, zebrafish, and plant root tissues. In addition, the rationally constructed probe Nap-FA could rapidly and visually detect FA in real food samples. This work provides a prospective approach for monitoring FA in complex biological systems and food fields.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is one of the most significant reactive oxygen species (ROS) in living cells. Zn2+ in living cells plays an essential part in different physiological processes. The abnormal concentration of ONOO- and Zn2+ in living cells are related to many kinds of diseases, such as anemia, epilepsy, diarrhea, Alzheimer's disease, and so on. The relationship of ONOO- and Zn2+ in living cells when the relative disease occurs remains unknown. So we develop the first probe H-1 for detecting ONOO- and Zn2+ at the same time. The probe H-1 shows high selectivity, good anti-interference capability, low detection limit and short response time to ONOO- and Zn2+. When the probe was applied to detect ONOO- and Zn2+ in HeLa cells, we could observe the fluorescence changing in the green and blue channels separately without interference in real time. It has the potential to employ the relation of ONOO- and Zn2+ in some disease mechanism research.

Abstract
Excessive peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is closely related to the occurrence and progression of inflammation. Therefore, the development of an efficacious ONOO- activatable probe holds great potential for the early diagnosis of pathological inflammation, and the direct evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of active protectants. In this work, a new ONOO--activated fluorescent probe (SZP) which greatly improved the specificity and sensitivity (LOD = 8.03 nM) with large Stokes shift (150 nm) through introducing two reaction triggers (diphenyl phosphinate moiety, CC unsaturated bond) was rationally designed for rapid detecting ONOO- (within 2 min). The excellent properties of probe SZP enable it to realize the fluorescence-guided diagnosis of inflammation. More importantly, probe SZP has also been utilized to assess the anti-inflammatory efficacy of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) active ingredients for the remediation of inflammation by monitoring ONOO- fluctuation for the first time.

Abstract
Visualization of cell apoptosis is a critical task playing central roles in the fundamental studies in biology, pathology, and biomedicine. Dual-emissive fluorescent probes are desired molecular tools for study on apoptosis, which however were rarely reported. Herein, utilizing the polarity differences between lysosomes and nucleus, a translocation type of fluorescent probe (NA-S) was developed for the dual-color visualization of cell apoptosis. NA-S was designed to be polarity sensitive, bearing alkalescence group, and with DNA affinity. In living cells, NA-S targeted the lysosomes to give blue fluorescence, which translocated into the nucleus during cell apoptosis to give green emission. Thereby, the cell apoptosis could be visualized with NA-S in dual-emissive manner. With the unique probe, the cell apoptosis induced by oxidative stress, UV irradiation, rotenone, colchicine, and paclitaxel have been successfully visualized.

Abstract
HSA (human serum albumin), a most abundant protein in blood serum, plays a key role in maintaining human health. Abnormal HSA level is correlated with many diseases, and thus has been used as an essential biomarker for therapeutic monitoring and biomedical diagnosis. Development of small-molecule fluorescent probes allowing the selective and sensitive recognition of HSA in in vitro and in vivo is of fundamental importance in basic biological research as well as medical diagnosis. Herein, we reported a series of new synthesized fluorescent dyes containing D-π-A constitution, which exhibited different optical properties in solution and solid state. Among them, dye M-H-SO3 with a hydrophilic sulfonate group at electron-acceptor part displayed selectivity for discrimination of HSA from BSA and other enzymes. Upon binding of dye M-H-SO3 with HSA, a significant fluorescence enhancement with a turn-on ratio about 96-fold was triggered. The detection limit was estimated to be ∼ 40 nM. Studies on the interaction mechanism revealed that dye M-H-SO3 could bind to site III of HSA with a 1:1 binding stoichiometry. Furthermore, dye M-H-SO3 has been applied to determine HSA in real urine samples with good recoveries, which provided a useful method for HSA analysis in biological fluids.

Abstract
Water is a fundamental element for life. The highly selective and sensitive sensing of water is always attractive for mankind in activities such as physiological processes study and extraterrestrial life exploration. Fluorescent MOFs with precise channels and functional groups might specifically recognize water molecules with hydrogen-bond interaction or coordination effects and work as water sensors. As a proof of concept, herein, an amino functionalized Zn-MOF (named as complex 1) with pores that just right for water molecules to form hydrogen bond bridges is revealed for highly selective and sensitive fluorescent sensing of water. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the 3D framework of complex 1 is functionalized with free amino groups in the channels. Hydrogen bonds formed in the channel along b-axis as water bridges to connect two adjacent NH2bdc ligands and result in the restriction of intramolecular motions (RIM) which could responsible for the selective turn-on fluorescence response to water. Complex 1 exhibits high sensitive to trace amount of water in organic solvents and could be used for water detection in a wide range water contents. Take advantages of complex 1, portable sensors (complex 1@PMMA) were prepared and used in the highly sensitive water sensing.

Abstract
Hypochlorite (ClO-), as one of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is closely linked to various illnesses and is essential for the proper functioning of immune system. Hence, monitoring and assessing ClO- levels in organisms are extremely important for the clinical diagnosis of ClO--related disorders. In this study, a novel ClO--selective fluorescent probe, DCP-ClO, was synthesized with dicyanoisophorone-xanthene unit as parent fluorophore, which displayed excellent selectivity towards ClO-, near-infrared emission (755 nm), large Stokes shift (100 nm), real-time response to ClO-, high sensitivity (LOD = 3.95 × 10-8 M), and low cytotoxicity. The recognition mechanism of DCP-ClO towards ClO- was confirmed to be a typical ICT process by HPLC-MS, HR-MS, 1H NMR and theoretical calculations. Meanwhile, DCP-ClO demonstrated remarkable efficacy in monitoring ClO- levels in water samples and eye-catching ability in imaging endogenous/exogenous ClO- in living organisms, which verified its potential as a powerful tool for the recognition of ClO- in complex biological systems.

Abstract
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a key enzyme in the cholinergic pathway of the nervous systems, with its aberrant expression linked to various diseases. In this study, we have developed a novel Turn-On near-infrared fluorescent probe, TQ-AChE, for the sensitive and selective detection of AChE activity. Characterized by its near-infrared emission at 740 nm, TQ-AChE effectively overcomes the limitations of traditional fluorescent probes, such as short excitation wavelengths and limited tissue penetration, crucial for both in vitro and in vivo applications. The probe's low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.02 U/mL for AChE makes it highly sensitive, enabling rapid quantification of AChE activity in serum effectively. Cell imaging studies demonstrate that TQ-AChE can confirm higher AChE activity expression in normal liver cells compared to liver cancer cells. TQ-AChE can also monitor AChE fluctuations in APAP-induced acute effectively, facilitating the evaluation of the efficacy of liver detoxifying agents. Additionally, in vivo studies in mouse models validate the potential of the probe in real-time monitoring of AChE expression in liver injury. The ability of TQ-AChE to visualize AChE expression signifies its potential as a promising tool for early liver disease diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring, opening new possibilities in hepatological research and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
A carbazole thiophene-aldehyde and 4-methylbenzenesulfonhydrazide conjugate CSH was synthesized by introducing 5-thiophene aldehyde at the 3-position of the carbazole group as the precursor and then condensing it with 4-methylbenzenesulfonhydrazide. CSH has high selectivity and sensitivity towards ClO-, which can specifically identify ClO- by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. CSH can rapidly respond to ClO- in the physiological pH range through a fluorescence quenching pattern, accompanied by the color of CSH changing markedly from turquoise to yellowish green under the 365 nm UV light. Probe CSH exhibits a quantitative response to ClO- (0-11 μM) with a low detection limit (1.16 × 10-6 M). Cell imaging experiments have shown that CSH can capture fluorescent signals in the cyan and yellow channels of HeLa cells through fluorescence confocal microscopy, and can successfully identify exogenous ClO- in HeLa cells. In addition, probe CSH can also be used to detect ClO- in environmental water samples. These results indicate that CSH has potential application prospects in the environmental analysis and biological aspects.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a type of lipid peroxidation-induced apoptosis brought on by imbalances in iron metabolism and redox. It involves both the thiol-associated anti-ferroptosis pathway and the excessive buildup of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which stimulates the ferroptosis pathway. Determining the precise control mechanism of ferroptosis requires examining the dynamic connection between reactive sulfur species (RSS) and ROS. Cysteine (Cys) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) are highly active redox species in organisms and play dynamic roles in the ferroptosis process. In this study, a coumarin dye was conjugated with specific response sites for Cys and ONOO-, enabling the simultaneous detection of Cys and ONOO- through the green and red fluorescence channels, respectively (λem = 498 nm for Cys and λem = 565 nm for ONOO-). Using the probe LXB, we monitored the changes in Cys and ONOO- levels in the ferroptosis pathway induced by erastin. The results demonstrate a significant generation of ONOO- and a noticeable decrease in intracellular Cys levels at the beginning upon erastin treatment and finally maintains a relatively low level. This study presents the first probe to investigate the intracellular redox modulation and control between Cys and ONOO- during ferroptosis, providing valuable insights into the potential mutual correlation between Cys and ONOO- in this process.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays a vital role in physiological processes and is an essential indicator of microbial content in food. Herein, a new sensitive, rapid and water-soluble probe for ATP detection was developed. Rhodamine B and pentaethylenehexamine were employed to design and synthesise the probe rhodamine-pentaethylenehexamine (RP) for selective ATP detection. The synthesised probe RP was characterized using Fourier transform infrared, NMR and dynamic light scattering size distributions. Upon the addition of ATP, the probe exhibited a distinct change in fluorescence intensity, with fluorescence emission at 580 nm. A linear relationship was observed between fluorescence intensity and ATP concentrations at 0-50 μmol/L, with a limit of detection of 10.97 × 10-9 mol/L. The results of the zeta potential and molecular dynamics simulation demonstrated that the detection mechanism of the probe RP is associated with the electrostatic adsorption interaction between the multi-positively charged sites of RP and the negatively charged triphosphate structure of ATP. Our study provides new insights into improving charge site identification in small molecule detection. Furthermore, the successful detection of ATP on meat surfaces indicates that RP has the potential to assess meat freshness.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread and highly toxic environmental pollutant, seriously threatening animal and plant growth. Therefore, monitoring and employing robust tools to enrich and remove Cd from the environment is a major challenge. In this work, by conjugating a fluorescent indicator (CCP) with a functionalized glass slide, a special composite material (CCPB) was constructed to enrich, remove, and monitor Cd2+ in water rapidly. Then Cd2+ could be effectively eluted by immersing the Cd-enriched CCPB in an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution. With this, the CCPB was continuously reused. Its recovery of Cd2+was above and below 100 % after multiple uses by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), which was excellent for practical use in enriching and removing Cd2+ in real aqueous samples. Therefore, CCPB is an ideal material for monitoring, enriching, and removing Cd2+ in wastewater, providing a robust tool for future practical applications of Cd enrichment and removal in the environment.

The Use of Carboxyfluorescein Reveals the Transport Function of MCT6/SLC16A5 Associated with CD147 as a Chloride-Sensitive Organic Anion Transporter in Mammalian Cells.

Abstract
Oral drug absorption involves drug permeation across the apical and basolateral membranes of enterocytes. Although transporters mediating the influx of anionic drugs in the apical membranes have been identified, transporters responsible for efflux in the basolateral membranes remain unclear. Monocarboxylate transporter 6 (MCT6/SLC16A5) has been reported to localize to the apical and basolateral membranes of human enterocytes and to transport organic anions such as bumetanide and nateglinide in the Xenopus oocyte expression system; however, its transport functions have not been elucidated in detail. In this study, we characterized the function of MCT6 expressed in HEK293T cells and explored fluorescent probes to more easily evaluate MCT6 function. The results illustrated that MCT6 interacts with CD147 to localize at the plasma membrane. When the uptake of various fluorescein derivatives was examined in NaCl-free uptake buffer (pH 5.5), the uptake of 5-carboxyfluorescein (5-CF) was significantly greater in MCT6 and CD147-expressing cells. MCT6-mediated 5-CF uptake was saturable with a Km of 1.07 mM and inhibited by several substrates/inhibitors of organic anion transporters and extracellular Cl ion with an IC50 of 53.7 mM. These results suggest that MCT6 is a chloride-sensitive organic anion transporter that can be characterized using 5-CF as a fluorescent probe.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS) serve as vital mediators essential for preserving intracellular redox homeostasis within the human body, thereby possessing significant implications across physiological and pathological domains. Nevertheless, deviations from normal levels of ROS, RNS, and RSS disturb redox homeostasis, leading to detrimental consequences that compromise bodily integrity. This disruption is closely linked to the onset of various human diseases, thereby posing a substantial threat to human health and survival. Small-molecule fluorescent probes exhibit considerable potential as analytical instruments for the monitoring of ROS, RNS, and RSS due to their exceptional sensitivity and selectivity, operational simplicity, non-invasiveness, localization capabilities, and ability to facilitate in situ optical signal generation for real-time dynamic analyte monitoring. Due to their distinctive transition from their spirocyclic form (non-fluorescent) to their ring-opened form (fluorescent), along with their exceptional light stability, broad wavelength range, high fluorescence quantum yield, and high extinction coefficient, rhodamine fluorophores have been extensively employed in the development of fluorescent probes. This review primarily concentrates on the investigation of fluorescent probes utilizing rhodamine dyes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection from the perspective of different response groups since 2016. The scope of this review encompasses the design of probe structures, elucidation of response mechanisms, and exploration of biological applications.
