Abstract
In the present study, we derivatized several hydroxycinnamic and hydroxybenzoic acids to phenolic amides (PAMs) via one step BOP mediated amide coupling reactions. Fifteen PAMs were synthesized in >40% yields and were screened for their cytotoxic activities against four cancer cell lines: THP-1 (leukaemia), HeLa (cervical), HepG2 (liver), and MCF-7 (breast), in comparison to 5-flurouracil (5-FU). Four amides showed IC50 ranging from 5 to 55 µM against all four cell lines. In contrast, tetradecyl-gallic-amide (13) affected only THP-1 leukaemia cells with IC50 of 3.08 µM. The activities of these compounds support the promise of phenolic amides as anticancer agents.

Abstract
Mercury ion is one of the most harmful metal ions with significant hazards to the environment and human health. Thus, the development of innovative, sensitive, and selective sensors to help address the detrimental impacts of heavy metal contamination is necessary. In this work, we present three new chemosensors based on the deprotection reaction of the thioacetal group for distinguishing Hg2+ in environmental samples. These chemosensors show good photophysical properties with high quantum yield in aqueous medium. These prepared chemosensors were employed as fluorometric sensors for the determination of Hg2+ through the quenching of fluorescence emission due to the Hg2+-induced hydrolysis of the thioacetal to the aldehyde group. In the presence of Hg2+, chemosensors showed an emissive color transformation from blue fluorescence to non-fluorescence under UV light, which was readily seen by the visual eye. These chemosensors also exhibited highly distinctive selectivity toward Hg2+ over other interfering metal ions, with detection limits of 1.1 ppb, 13.4 ppb, and 12.7 ppb. Moreover, the practical applicability of chemosensor was successfully demonstrated in real water samples and herb extract samples.

Abstract
We designed and optimized a glucose biosensor system based on a screen-printed electrode modified with the NAD-GDH enzyme. To enhance the electroactive surface area and improve the electron transfer efficiency, we introduced graphene oxide (GO) and ferrocene-modified linear poly(ethylenimine) (LPEI-Fc) onto the biosensor surface. This strategic modification exploits the electrostatic interaction between graphene oxide, which possesses a negative charge, and LPEI-Fc, which is positively charged. This interaction results in increased catalytic current during glucose oxidation and helps improve the overall glucose detection sensitivity by amperometry. We integrated the developed glucose sensor into a flow injection (FI) system. This integration facilitates a swift and reproducible detection of glucose, and it also mitigates the risk of contamination during the analyses. The incorporation of an FI system improves the efficiency of the biosensor, ensuring precise and reliable results in a short time. The proposed sensor was operated at a constant applied potential of 0.35 V. After optimizing the system, a linear calibration curve was obtained for the concentration range of 1.0-40 mM (R2 = 0.986). The FI system was successfully applied to determine the glucose content of a commercial sports drink.

Abstract
In the realm of cancer therapy and treatment of bacterial infection, photothermal therapy (PTT) stands out as a potential strategy. The challenge, however, is to create photothermal agents that can perform both imaging and PTT, a so-called theranostic agent. Photothermal agents that absorb and emit in the near-infrared region (750-900 nm) have recently received a lot of attention due to the extensive penetration of NIR light in biological tissues. In this study, we combined pyrazole with aza-BODIPY (PY-AZB) to develop a novel photothermal agent. PY-AZB demonstrated great photostability with a photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of up to 33 %. Additionally, PY-AZB can permeate cancer cells at a fast accumulation rate in less than 6 hours, according to the confocal images. Furthermore, in vitro photothermal therapy results showed that PY-AZB effectively eliminated cancer cells by up to 70 %. Interestingly, PY-AZB exhibited antibacterial activities against both gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli 780, and gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus 1466. The results exhibit a satisfactory bactericidal effect against bacteria, with a killing efficiency of up to 100 % upon laser irradiation. As a result, PY-AZB may provide a viable option for photothermal treatment.

Abstract
Combination of cysteine-containing peptides with electrophiles provides efficient access to cyclo-organopeptides. However, there are no routes to intrinsically fluorescent cyclo-organopeptides containing robust, brilliant fluorophores emitting at wavelengths longer than cellular autofluorescence. We show such fluorescent cyclo-organopeptides can be made via SNAr reactions of cysteine-containing peptides with a BODIPY system. Seven compounds of this type were prepared to test as probes; six contained peptide sequences corresponding to loop regions in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophic factor 4 (BDNF and NT-4) which bind tropomyocin receptor kinase B (TrkB). Cellular assays in serum-free media indicated two of the six key compounds induced survival of HEK293 cells stably transfected with TrkB whereas a control did not. The two compounds inducing cell survival bound TrkB on those cells (Kd ∼40 and 47 nM), illustrating how intrinsically fluorescent cyclo-organopeptides can be assayed for quantifiable binding to surface receptors in cell membrane environments.

Abstract
A new push-pull aza-BODIPY (AZB-CF3) derivative comprised of dimethylamino groups and trifluoromethyl moieties was successfully synthesized. This derivative exhibited broad absorption in the near-infrared region in the range from 798 to 832 nm. It also exhibited significant near-infrared (NIR) signals in low-polar solvents with emission peaks around 835-940 nm, while non-fluorescence in high-polar environments due to the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) phenomenon. The nanoprecipitation of this compound with phospholipid-based polyethylene glycol (DSPE-PEG) yielded AZB-CF3@DSPE-PEG nanoparticles (NPs) with a hydrodynamic size of 70 nm. The NPs exhibited good photostability, colloidal stability, biocompatibility, and excellent photothermal (PTT) competence with a conversion efficiency (η) of 44.9%. These NPs were evaluated in vitro and in ovo in a 4T1 breast cancer cell line for NIR light-trigger photothermal therapy. Proven in the chicken egg tumor model, AZB-CF3@DSPE-PEG NPs induced severe vascular damage (∼40% vascular destruction), showed great anticancer efficacy (∼75% tumor growth inhibition), and effectively inhibited distant metastasis via photothermal treatment. As such, this PTT-based nanocarrier system could be a potential candidate for a clinical cancer therapy approach.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves using light to activate photosensitizers (PSs). Attractively, PDT is one of the alternative cancer treatments due to its noninvasive technique. By utilizing the heavy atom effect, this work modified a class of formazan dyes to improve intersystem crossing (ISC) to improve reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation for PDT treatment. Two methods were used to observe the ROS generation enhanced by ISC of the synthesized complexes including, (1) recording DPBF decomposition caused by the ROS, and (2) calculating the potential energy curves for photophysical mechanisms of BF2 -formazanate dyes using the DFT and nudged elastic band (NEB) methods. The photophysical properties of the dyes were studied using spectroscopic techniques and X-ray crystallography, as well as DFT calculations. The experimental and theoretical results and in vitro cellular assays confirmed the potential use of the newly synthesized iodinated BF2 -formazanate dyes in PDT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary liver cancer. Anomianthus dulcis (Dunal) J.Sinclair (syn. Uvaria dulcis) has been used in Thai traditional medicine in various therapeutic indications. Phytochemical constituents of A. dulcis have been isolated and identified. However, their effects on liver cancer and the associated mechanisms have not been elucidated. METHODS Dry flowers of A. dulcis were extracted using organic solvents, and chromatographic methods were used to purify the secondary metabolites. The chemical structures of the pure compounds were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data. Cytotoxicity against HCC cells was examined using SRB assay, and the effects on cell proliferation were determined using flow cytometry. The mechanisms underlying HCC inhibition were examined by molecular docking and verified by Western blot analysis. RESULTS Among 3 purified flavonoids, pinocembrin, pinostrobin, and chrysin, and 1 indole alkaloid (3-farnesylindole), only pinocembrin showed inhibitory effects on the proliferation of 2 HCC cell lines, HepG2 and Li-7, whereas chrysin showed specific toxicity to HepG2. Pinocembrin was then selected for further study. Flow cytometric analyses revealed that pinocembrin arrested the HCC cell cycle at the G1 phase with a minimal effect on cell death induction. Pinocembrin exerted the suppression of STAT3, as shown by the molecular docking on STAT3 with a better binding affinity than stattic, a known STAT3 inhibitor. Pinocembrin also suppressed STAT3 phosphorylation at both Tyr705 and Ser727. Cell cycle regulatory proteins under the modulation of STAT3, namely cyclin D1, cyclin E, CDK4, and CDK6, are substantially suppressed in their expression levels. CONCLUSION Pinocembrin extracted from A. dulcis exerted a significant growth inhibition on HCC cells via suppressing STAT3 signaling pathways and its downstream-regulated genes.

Abstract
For the first time, a series of vinyl sulfone-NH2-based push-pull fluorophores (4a-4d) were introduced for their potential use in biological applications. The fluorophores 4a-4d were readily synthesized upon reduction of the corresponding vinyl sulfones-NO2 (3a-3d), which were prepared by sulfonylation of nitrostyrene. Both types of probes can be prepared in high yields through a few steps with minimal cost. In diverse solvents, probes 4a-4d exhibited fluorescence with strong emission peaking around 403-490 nm. Additionally, the fluorescence intensity of probe 4d rose approximately 85-fold with increasing viscosity. The probes 4a-4d demonstrated good stability and photostability in a broad pH range. Moreover, probes 4a-4d showed significantly improved biocompatibility compared to those derived from 3a-3d. For cell imaging applications, the developed probes 4a-4d exhibited much stronger blue fluorescence in cancer cells (HepG2) compared to 3a-3d. In addition, probes 4a-4d exhibited low cytotoxicity within 24 h toward both cancer and normal cells (HEK-293). Interestingly, probe 4d showed great sensitivity to viscosity in cancer cells. As a result, readily prepared vinyl sulfone-NH2-based push-pull fluorophores (4a-4d) offer a promising strategy for further development as cancer cell staining agents.

Abstract
A quinoline-malononitrile (QM)-based aggregation-induced emission probe was developed to detect MAOs in cells through an enzymatic reaction followed by β-elimination. After being incubated at 37 °C, QM-NH2 responded to the MAO enzymes with great specificity and within just 5 min. This 5 min responsive mechanism was fast, with the limit of detection (LOD) at 5.49 and 4.76 µg mL−1 for MAO-A and MAO-B, respectively. Moreover, QM-NH2 displayed high enzyme specificity even in the presence of high concentrations of biological interferences, such as oxidizing and reducing agents, biothiols, amino acids, and glucose. Furthermore, QM-NH2 demonstrated biocompatibility as the cells retained more than 70% viability when exposed to QM-NH2 at concentrations of up to 20 µM. As a result, QM-NH2 was used to detect MAO-A and MAO-B in SH-SY5Y and HepG2 cells, respectively. After 1h incubation with QM-NH2, the cells exhibited enhanced fluorescence by about 20-fold. Moreover, the signal from cells was reduced when MAO inhibitors were applied prior to incubating with QM-NH2. Therefore, our research recommends using a QM probe as a generic method for producing recognition moieties for fluorogenic enzyme probes.

Abstract
In this study, we developed functional nanomaterials via a phenolic-enabled nanotechnology strategy for hypoxia detection employing quercetin (QCT), an abundant flavonoid, as a polyphenolic system. The nano form of QCT was stabilized by coating it with polyethylene glycol (PEG) before loading it with a flavylium dye (Flav) as a pH indicator. The nanosystem, Flav@QCT-PEG, collapsed when it was in an acidic environment, i.e., pH 5, leading to the release of Flav, which activated the fluorescent signal. Therefore, Flav@QCT-PEG was applied to detect hypoxic tumors, known to be acidic, and responded to hypoxic environments in a dose- and time-dependent manner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an established risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with unclarified mechanisms. This study investigated the effects of hyperglycemia on O-GlcNacylation in hepatocytes and its associations with hepatocarcinogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mouse and human HCC cell lines were used in an in vitro model of hyperglycemia. Western blotting was used to determine the effects of high glucose on O-GlcNacylation in HCC cells. Twenty 4-week-old C3H/HeNJcl mice were randomized into four groups: non-DM control, non-DM plus diethylnitrosamine (DEN), DM, and DM plus DEN. DM was induced using intraperitoneal injection of a single high dose of streptozotocin. DEN was used to induce HCC. All mice were euthanized at week 16 after DM induction, and the liver tissues were histologically examined using hematoxylin and eosin, and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS High glucose increased O-GlcNacylated proteins in mouse and human HCC cell lines compared with those cultured at normal glucose concentration. Mice with hyperglycemia or DEN treatment had increased O-GlcNacylated proteins in hepatocytes. No gross tumors were evident at the end of the experiment but hepatic morbidity was observed. Mice with hyperglycemia and DEN treatment showed greater histological morbidity in their livers, i.e. increased nuclear size, hepatocellular swelling and sinusoidal dilatation, compared with mice in the DM group or treated with DEN alone. CONCLUSION Hyperglycemia increased O-GlcNAcylation in both in vitro and animal models. Increased O-GlcNAcylated proteins may be associated with hepatic histological morbidities which then promote HCC development in carcinogen-induced tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Doping or ion substitution is often used as an effective strategy to improve photocatalytic activities of several semiconductors. Most frequently, the dopants provide extra states to increase light absorption, alter the electronic structure, or lower the carrier recombination. This work focuses on ion substitution in Bi2WO6, where the dopants modify band-edge potentials of the catalysts. Specifically, we investigate how the electronegativity (EN) of the dopant could be used to tune the band-edge potentials and how such changes influence the photocatalytic mechanism. Compared to Te that has a lower EN, I lowers the band-edge potentials. While substitutions with both ions enhance Rh B photodegradation and benzylamine photooxidation, the modified band potentials of I-doped Bi2WO6 influence the benzylamine photooxidation pathway, resulting in higher selectivity. Additionally, substitution of I7+ in the Bi2WO6 lattice improves the morphologies, decreases the band-gap energy, and reduces the carrier recombination. As a result, I-doped Bi2WO6 shows almost 3 times higher %conversion while maintaining 100% selectivity in the oxidative coupling of benzylamine. The findings here signify the importance of the choices of dopants on the photocatalytic reactions and would benefit the design of other related materials for such applications.

Abstract
Typically, nanomedicine was prepared using a nanocarrier to load cargo for specific purposes. In this work, a carrier-free nanosystem for imaging and photodynamic (PDT)/chemo combination therapy was developed using simple self-assembly of a dye and a chemotherapeutic agent. The resulting nanoparticles (I2-IR783/MTX@NPs) exhibited a spherical morphology with a size of 240.6 ± 2.5 nm. I2-IR783/MTX@NPs had substantial internalization in 4T1 murine breast cancer cells and showed a synergistic anticancer effect after NIR light irradiation. Additionally, the 3D tumor model exhibits the same phototoxicity of nanoparticles as a 2D cell culture. The PDT efficiency of the nanosystem in the physiological environment was confirmed by the detection of intracellular reactive oxygen species as well as the live/dead viability/cytotoxicity assay following NIR light exposure. In addition, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used as an alternative tool to monitor the response after treatment. Therefore, I2-IR783/MTX@NPs show great potential use in theranostic application for breast cancer PDT-chemotherapy.

Abstract
Fluorescence-based methods are important tools for the analysis of nucleic acids in vitro and in cells. In this study, two cationic cyanine-styryl derivatives were produced using a two-step synthesis. Their optical properties were evaluated in different solvents, and frontier molecular orbital theory was utilized to interpret the findings. The DNA binding of these molecules was investigated to show fluorescence intensification. The molecular docking of both dyes in DNA illustrated the relevance of the electrostatic interaction between the quaternary ammonium of both dyes and the phosphate of the DNA backbone. Last but not least, applications of the synthesized styryl dyes were demonstrated to be selective towards cancer cells and particular kinds of bacteria.

Abstract
Hypoxia caused by photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a major hurdle to cancer treatment since it can promote recurrence and progression by activating angiogenic factors, lowering therapeutic efficacy dramatically. In this work, AZB-I-CAIX2 was developed as a carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX)-targeting NIR photosensitizer that can overcome the challenge by utilizing a combination of CAIX knockdown and PDT. AZB-I-CAIX2 showed a specific affinity to CAIX-expressed cancer cells and enhanced photocytotoxicity compared to AZB-I-control (the molecule without acetazolamide). Moreover, selective detection and effective cell cytotoxicity of AZB-I-CAIX2 by PDT in hypoxic CAIX-expressed murine cancer cells were achieved. Essentially, AZB-I-CAIX2 could minimize tumor size in the tumor-bearing mice compared to that in the control groups. The results suggested that AZB-I-CAIX2 can improve therapeutic efficiency by preventing PDT-induced hypoxia through CAIX inhibition.

Abstract
In this work, the two pyridylhydrazone-tethered BODIPY compounds (2 and 3) were synthesized. These compounds aimed to detect hypochlorous acid (HOCl) species via cyclic triazolopyridine formation. The open forms and the resulting cyclic forms of BODIPYs (2, 3, 4, and 5) were fully characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. These two probes can selectively detect HOCl through a fluorescence turn-on mechanism with the limit of detections of 0.21 µM and 0.77 µM for compounds 2 and 3, respectively. This fluorescence enhancement phenomenon could be the effect from C = N isomerization inhibition due to HOCl-triggered triazolopyridine formation. In cell imaging experiments, these compounds showed excellent biocompatibility toward RAW 264.7 murine live macrophage cells and greatly visualized endogenous HOCl in living cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide.

A hydrazone (T1) was synthesized by reacting 8-hydroxyjulolidine-9-carboxaldehyde with 2-furoic hydrazide and then modified with Al3+ ion to form a novel hydrazone Al3+ complex (T1-Al3+) in an aqueous solution (8% propylene glycol in 10 mM HEPES pH 5.5). The T1-Al3+ complex was studied as a Cu2+ selective sensor due to its highly efficient capacibility of paramagnetic quenching. The results showed that the T1-Al3+ complexed sensor possesses remarkable sensitivity and selectivity for Cu2+ ion in 8% propylene glycol in 10 mM HEPES pH 5.5 as compared with other tested analytes. Notably, this sensor has a broad linear detection range of 10-110 µM for Cu2+ ion and a detection limit level of 0.62 µM, which is lower than the Cu2+ concentration threshold in drinking water designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Additionally, it was detectable for the presence of Cu2+ ion in mineral water and tap water samples. The selectivity of T1-Al3+ complexed sensor with Cu2+ ion could be explained by the basis of computation with Gaussian software complied with the basis sets of B3LYP/6-31 G(d,p)/LANL2DZ. Furthermore, only T1 exhibited anticancer efficacy against HeLa and U251 cells with MTT assay.

Abstract
As pH-sensitive and hypoxia-responsive probes, three hemicyanine derivatives based on vanillin and the indole ring (Val-Hcys) were synthesized. The fluorescence of the probes can be activated at acidic pH using the amide functionalized sidechains. Furthermore, when Val-Hcys were incubated with hypoxic cells for 5 min, the fluorescent signals significantly increased when compared to normoxia cells (4-fold enhancement, maximum at 180 min). In addition, Val-Hcys tend to accumulate in lysosomes and mitochondria, two important organelles involved in cell mitophagy. Surprisingly, Val-Hcys improved cell viability in hypoxic conditions. As a result, this study demonstrates the utility of Val-Hcys as pH-responsive probes for detecting hypoxic areas.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy is a promising treatment modality in the realm of cancer therapy. Photothermal nanomaterials that absorb and emit in the near-infrared range (750-900 nm) have drawn a lot of attention recently because of the deep penetration of NIR light in biological tissue. Most nanomaterials, however, are produced by encapsulating or altering the surface of a nanoplatform, which has limited loading capacity and long-term storage. Herein, we developed a stable polymer conjugated with aza-BODIPY that self-assembled to form nanoparticles (aza-BODIPY-mPEG) with better hydrophilicity and biocompatibility while retaining the dye's photothermal conversion characteristics. Aza-BODIPY-mPEG with a hydrodynamic size of around 170 nm exhibited great photostability and excellent photothermal therapy in vitro and in ovo. Aza-BODIPY-mPEG exhibits approximately 30% better anti-angiogenesis and antitumor activity against implanted xenograft human HCT116 tumor in the chick embryo compared to parent aza-BODIPY-A, altogether suggesting that aza-BODIPY-mPEG is a promising material for cancer photothermal therapy.

Abstract
β-Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) has recently gained attention for nutritional supplement because it is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ). In this study, we develop NMN synthesis by coupling two modules. The first module is to culture E. coli MG1655 ∆ tktA ∆ tktB ∆ ptsG to metabolize xylose to generate D -ribose in the medium. The supernatant containing D -ribose was applied in the second module which is composed of Ec RbsK- Ec PRPS- Cp NAMPT reaction to synthesize NMN, that requires additional enzymes of CHU0107 and Ec PPase to remove feedback inhibitors, ADP and pyrophosphate. The second module can be rapidly optimized by comparing NMN production determined by the cyanide assay. Finally, 10 mL optimal biocascade reaction generated NMN with good yield of 84% from 1 mM D -ribose supplied from the supernatant of E. coli MG1655 ∆ tktA ∆ tktB ∆ ptsG . Our results can further guide researchers to metabolically engineer E. coli for NMN synthesis.

Abstract
To improve the potency of Heptamethine cyanines (Hcyanines) in cancer research, we designed and synthesized two novel Hcyanines based theranostic probes, IR794-Morph and IR794-Morph-Mpip, to enhance cancer cell internalization and targeting. In acidic conditions that resemble to tumour environment, both IR794 derivatives exhibited broad NIR absorption band (704‒794 nm) and fluorescence emission (798‒828 nm) that is suitable for deep seated tumour imaging. Moreover, in vitro study revealed that IR794-Morph-Mpip exhibited better cancer targetability towards various cancer cell lines under physiological and slightly acidic conditions compared to normal cells. IR794-Morph-Mpip was fast internalized into the cancer cells within the first 5 min and mostly localized in lysosomes and mitochondria. In addition, the internalized signal was brighter when the cells were in the hypoxic environment. Furthermore, cellular uptake mechanism of both IR794 dyes, investigated via flow cytometry, revealed that endocytosis through OATPs receptors and clathrin-mediated endocytosis were the main routes. Moreover, IR794-Morph-Mpip, displayed anti-cancer activity towards all tested cancer cell types with IC50 below 7 μM (at 6 h incubation), which is approximately three times lower than that of the normal cells. Therefore, increasing protonated cites in tumour environment of Hcyanines together with incorporating morpholine in the molecule can enhance structure-inherent targeting of these dyes.

Abstract
By 2050, population growth and climate change will lead to increased demand for food and water. Nanoparticles (NPs), an advanced technology, can be applied to many areas of agriculture, including crop protection and growth enhancement, to build sustainable agricultural production. Ionic gelation method is a synthesis of microparticles or NPs, based on an electrostatic interaction between opposite charge types that contains at least one polymer under mechanical stirring conditions. NPs, which are commonly based on chitosan (CS), have been applied to many agricultural fields, including nanopesticides, nanofertilizers, and nanoherbicides. The CS-NP or CS-NPs-loaded active ingredients (Cu, saponin, harpin, Zn, hexaconazole, salicylic acid (SA), NPK, thiamine, silicon, and silver (Ag)) are effective in controlling plant diseases and enhancing plant growth, depending on the concentration and application method by direct and indirect mechanisms, and have attracted much attention in the last five years. Many crops have been evaluated in in vivo or in greenhouse conditions but only maize (CS-NP-loaded Cu, Zn, SA, and silicon) and soybean (CS-NP-loaded Cu) were tested for manage post flowering stalk rot, Curvularia leaf spot, and bacterial pustule disease in field condition. Since 2019, five of eight studies have been performed in field conditions that have shown interest in CS-NPs synthesized by the ionic gelation method. In this review, we summarized the current state of research and provided a forward-looking view of the use of CS-NPs in plant disease management.

Abstract
Leaf spot is one of the most important cassava diseases. Nanotechnology can be applied to control diseases and improve plant growth. This study was performed to prepare chitosan (CS) nanoparticle (NP)-loaded salicylic acid (SA) or silver (Ag) by the ionic gelation method, and to evaluate their effectiveness on reducing leaf spot disease and enhancing the growth of cassava plants. The CS (0.4 or 0.5%) and Pentasodium triphosphate (0.2 or 0.5%) were mixed with SA varying at 0.05, 0.1, or 0.2% or silver nitrate varying at 1, 2, or 3 mM to prepare three formulations of CS-NP-loaded SA named N1, N2, and N3 or CS-NP-loaded Ag named N4, N5, and N6. The results showed that the six formulations were not toxic to cassava leaves up to 800 ppm. The CS-NP-loaded SA (N3) and CS-NP-loaded Ag (N6) were more effective than the remaining formulations in reducing the disease severity and the disease index of leaf spot. Furthermore, N3 at 400 ppm and N6 at 200, 400, and 800 ppm could reduce disease severity (68.9–73.6% or 37.0–37.7%, depending on the time of treatment and the pathogen density) and enhance plant growth more than or equal to commercial fungicide or nano-fungicide products under net-house conditions. The study indicates the potential to use CS-NP-loaded SA or Ag as elicitors to manage cassava leaf spot disease.

One is I-IR799-CXB which I-IR799 was conjugated to COX-2 specific inhibitor, celecoxib, and another is I-IR799-IMC , where the non-selective COX inhibitor, indomethacin, was used. I-IR799 is a heptamethine cyanine derivative that can be activated by near infrared light for photodynamic therapy (PDT) purposes. I-IR799-CXB and I-IR799-IMC were tested for their cancer targeting and photodynamic efficiency towards liver hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) compared to normal liver cell, alpha mouse liver 12 cells (AML12). Interestingly, after conjugation, I-IR799-IMC exhibited superior tumour targetability and PDT efficiency than I-IR799-CXB .

Abstract
A new fluorescence probe based on [5]helicene derivative (MT) was designed and synthesized. The chemical structure of the probe was fully characterized by NMR, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. MT which is the combination of thioamide[5]helicene with Schiff base-thiophene moiety, exhibited a high selectivity to detect Hg2+ through irreversible desulfurization reaction with "TurnON" fluorescence response and large Stokes shift of 110 nm in aqueous methanol solution. The detection limit of MT was 1.2 ppb (6.0 × 10-3 µM), which is lower than the limit of Hg2+ level in drinking water, as specified by WHO (6.0 ppb) and U.S. EPA (2.0 ppb). The Hg2+ detection range of the probe was 0.07-1.6 µM with good linearity. Under UV irradiation, MT possessed the capability to detect Hg2+ in diverse context of real samples, including drinking and sea waters, vegetable tissue and brain tumor cell. In addition, MT could be used as a paper test strip for monitoring and screening of Hg2+ contamination in environment.

Abstract
A hypoxia-responsive probe based on a flavylium dye containing an azo group (AZO-Flav) was synthesized to detect hypoxic conditions via a reductase-catalyzed reaction in cancer cells. In in vitro enzymatic investigation, the azo group of AZO-Flav was reduced by a reductase in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) followed by fragmentation to generate a fluorescent molecule, Flav-NH2. The response of AZO-Flav to the reductase was as fast as 2 min with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.4 μM. Moreover, AZO-Flav displayed high enzyme specificity even in the presence of high concentrations of biological interferences, such as reducing agents and biothiols. Therefore, AZO-Flav was tested to detect hypoxic and normoxic environments in cancer cells (HepG2). Compared to the normal condition, the fluorescence intensity in hypoxic conditions increased about 10-fold after 15 min. Prolonged incubation showed a 26-fold higher fluorescent intensity after 60 min. In addition, the fluorescence signal under hypoxia can be suppressed by an electron transport process inhibitor, diphenyliodonium chloride (DPIC), suggesting that reductases take part in the azo group reduction of AZO-Flav in a hypoxic environment. Therefore, this probe showed great potential application toward in vivo hypoxia detection.

Abstract
Compared with normal cells, cancer cells usually exhibit an increase in glucose uptake as part of the Warburg effect. To take advantage of this hallmark of cancer, glucose transporters could be a good candidate for cancer targeting. Herein, we report novel glycoconjugate aza-BODIPY dyes (AZB-Glc and AZB-Glc-I) that contain two glucose moieties conjugated to near-infrared dyes via the azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. As anticipated, a higher level of AZB-Glc uptake was observed in breast cancer cells that overexpressed glucose transporters (GLUTs), especially GLUT-1, including the triple-negative breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231) and human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7), compared to that of normal cells (human fetal lung fibroblasts, HFL1). The cellular uptake of AZB-Glc was in a dose- and time-dependent manner and also depended on GLUT, as evidenced by the decreased uptake of AZB-Glc in the presence of d-glucose or a glucose metabolism suppressor, combretastatin. In addition, light triggered cell death was also investigated through photodynamic therapy (PDT), since near-infrared (NIR) light is known to penetrate deeper tissue than light of shorter wavelengths. AZB-Glc-I, the analog of AZB-Glc containing iodine for enhanced singlet oxygen production upon NIR irradiation, was used for all treatment assays. AZB-Glc-I showed significant NIR light-induced cytotoxicity in cancer cells (IC50 = 1.4-1.6 μM under 1 min irradiation), which was about 20-times lower than that in normal cells (IC50 = 32 μM) under the same conditions, with negligible dark toxicity (IC50 > 100 μM) in all cell lines. Moreover, the singlet oxygen was detected inside the cancer cells after exposure to light in the presence of AZB-Glc-I. Therefore, our glucose conjugated systems proved to efficiently target cancer cells for enhanced photodynamic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cadmium highly toxic and hazardous, and it can adversely affect human health leading to serious disorders. Herein, a water-soluble near-infrared sensor based on aza-BODIPY (1) was developed for dual determination of Cd2+ in environmental and biological media. This sensor exhibited color change from colorless to green along with a fluorescence enhancement in the near-infrared (NIR) region via photoinduced electron transfer (PET) after complexation with Cd2+. Sensor 1 can be employed in aqueous media at physiological pH for quantitative monitoring. It shows rapid response with high sensitivity (detection limit of 2.8 ppb; linear correlation over [Cd2+] 1.33 - 6.67 µM) and selectivity over potentially interfering ions. NIR sensor 1 can be used to determine [Cd2+] in living cells and environmental samples.

Abstract
With advancement in antibody engineering, the development and characterization of new cancer-specific molecular targets are in the forefront of this PET-antibody combination "revolution". Overexpression of CD146 in different types of tumors, including breast tumor, has been associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis. Non-invasive detection of CD146 with a monoclonal antibody may provide a noninvasive diagnostic tool with high specificity and accountability. METHODS Herein, we have developed a CD146-specific monoclonal antibody (YY146), radiolabeled it with 52Mn and 89Zr and identified its capability in acting as a non-invasive imaging agent that specific targets CD146 in different murine breast cancer models. CD146 expression was first screened in different breast tumor cell lines through Western Blot and confirmed its binding ability to YY146 using Flow Cytometry. Serial immunoPET images were carried out after intravenous administration of 52Mn or 89Zr labeled YY146. In addition, we also performed in vivo fluorescence imaging in animals injected with YY146 conjugated with Cy5.5. RESULTS Western Blot results show that MDA-MB-435 cell line had greater levels of CD146 expression when compared to the other cell lines investigated. Flow cytometry confirmed binding ability of YY146. PET images revealed well correlated uptake between tumor uptake and CD146 expression levels, confirmed by biodistribution studies and fluorescence imaging. CONCLUSION PET imaging, for up to 7 days, of mice bearing three different breast tumors were carried out and revealed radiotracer uptake in tumors that strongly (r2 = 0.98, P < 0.01), correlated with CD146 expression levels, as confirmed by in vitro and ex vivo studies.

Abstract
Facile synthesis of 6- or 7-substituted coumarin-indomathacin hybrids (Coum-IDM) has been developed for specific cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) binding along with their intrinsic fluorescent properties. A mild and rapid condensation/dehydrative cyclization of 2-hydroxy benzaldehyde with activated indomethacin was carried out in one step under ultrasound irradiation. Coum-IDM4 was found to be the best of this series as it presented significant binding to COX-2 and exhibited higher fluorescent intensity in cancer cells than in normal cells. Therefore, in the light of drug development tools, this new hybrid system could be a potential targeted probe for COX-2-overexpressed inflammation and cancer-cell tracking.

Abstract
Nucleocidin 1 produced by Streptomyces calvus is one of five characterized natural products containing fluorine. It was discovered in 1956, but its biosynthesis is not yet completely resolved. Recently, the biosynthetic gene cluster of 1 was identified. The nucPNP gene, which was initially annotated as orf206 and encodes a putative purine nucleoside phosphorylase, is essential for nucleocidin production. In this study, we performed in vitro assays and showed NucPNP produced adenine 3 from methylthioadenosine (MTA) 2 and adenosine 4. We also showed the downstream enzyme, NucV annotated as adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT), catalyzes AMP formation from adenine 3 and 5-phospho-α-d-ribose-1-diphosphate (PRPP) 5. However, the catalytic efficiency of NucV was much slower than its homolog ScAPRT involved in the biosynthesis of canonical purine nucleoside in the same strain. These results provide new insights in nucleocidin biosynthesis and could guide future research on organofluorine formation.

Abstract
We developed a pH dependent amino heptamethine cyanine based theranostic probe (I2-IR783-Mpip) that can be activated by near infrared light. I2-IR783-Mpip, in acidic condition, exhibited an intense, broad NIR absorption band (820-950 nm) with high singlet oxygen generation upon exposure to NIR light (~850 nm). Theoretical calculations showed that the protonation of the probe in an acidic environment decreased the molecular orbital energy gaps and increased the intramolecular charge transfer efficiency. I2-IR783-Mpip exhibited good photodynamic efficiency towards liver hepatocellular carcinoma cells under physiological and slightly acidic conditions while normal human embryonic kidney cells remained alive under the same conditions. Detection of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells treated with I2-IR783-Mpip after NIR light exposure confirmed PDT efficiency of the probe in acidic environment. Moreover, I2-IR783-Mpip also demonstrated efficient phototoxicity under deep-seated tumour cell system. We believed this is the first PDT agent that possesses intrinsic tumour binding and selectively eradicate tumour in acidic environment under 850 nm NIR lamp.

Abstract
Rationale: Nanoparticles (NPs) that are rapidly eliminated from the body offer great potential in clinical test. Renal excretion of small particles is preferable over other clearance pathways to minimize potential toxicity. Thus, there is a significant demand to prepare ultra-small theranostic agents with renal clearance behaviors. Method: In this work, we report a facile method to prepare NPs with ultra-small size that show renal clearable behavior for imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). Pyropheophorbide-a (Pa), a deep red photosensitizer was functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to obtain Pa-PEG. The prepared NPs formed ultra-small nanodots in aqueous solution and showed red-shifted absorbance that enabling efficient singlet oxygen generation upon light irradiation. Results: In vitro studies revealed good photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect of these Pa-PEG nanodots. Most of the cancer cells incubated with Pa-PEG nanodots were destroyed after being exposed to the irradiated light. Utilizing the optical properties of such Pa-PEG nanodots, in vivo photoacoustic (PA) and fluorescence (FL) imaging techniques were used to assess the optimal time for PDT treatment after intravenous (i.v.) injection of the nanodots. As monitored by the PA/FL dual-modal imaging, the nanodots could accumulate at the tumor site and reach the maximum concentration at 8 h post injection. Finally, the tumors on mice treated with Pa-PEG nanodots were effectively inhibited by PDT treatment. Moreover, Pa-PEG nanodots showed high PA/FL signals in kidneys implying these ultra-small nanodots could be excreted out of the body via renal clearance. Conclusion: We demonstrated the excellent properties of Pa-PEG nanodots that can be an in vivo imaging-guided PDT agent with renal clearable behavior for potential future clinical translation.

Abstract
AZB-IMC2 was developed as a COX-2 specific probe that exhibited a brighter fluorescence signal in cancer cells that overexpress COX-2 compared to normal cells. Oxidative stress agent-treated inflamed cell lines inducing high COX-2 levels revealed an enhanced fluorescence signal. Inhibitory studies showed a markedly reduced fluorescence intensity in cancer cells. The results suggested that AZB-IMC2 could be developed as a promising molecular tool for imaging guiding during surgery. A bivalent indomethacin/Aza-BODIPY conjugate can selectively visualize the COX-2 enzyme in cancer and inflamed cells confirming its potential as a COX-2-specific biomarker in clinical applications.![]()

Abstract
BODIPYs are photosensitizers activatable by light to generate highly reactive singlet oxygen (1O2) from molecular oxygen, leading to tissue damage in the photoirradiated region. Despite their extraordinary photophysical characteristics, they are not featured in clinical photodynamic therapy. This review discusses the recent advances in the design and/or modifications of BODIPYs since 2013, to improve their potential in photodynamic cancer therapy and related areas.

Abstract
Near infrared (NIR) fluorescent dyes that are widely used for cancer imaging usually suffer from their hydrophobicity. To overcome this problem, a water-suspendable and biodegradable NIR-light-activating aza-BODIPY (AZB-NO2) encapsulated in polymeric nanoparticles was prepared as a new class of deep-tissue imaging agent. AZB-NO2 possesses an intense, broad NIR absorption band (600–800 nm) with a remarkably high fluorescent quantum yield. After being encapsulated with a biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) and a Kolliphor P188 surfactant by emulsification-solvent evaporation method, the AZB-NO2 formed a spherical shape as observed in scanning electron micrographs (SEM) with a hydrodynamic average size of 201 nm (average PDI = 0.185). The results from transmission electron micrographs (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) elemental mapping indicated that the AZB-NO2 homogeneously distributed in the polymeric shell. UV-visible-NIR and fluorescence spectra of the obtained nanoparticles, AZB-NO2@PCL, revealed that the nanoparticles prepared by using 0.8 mg dye loading exhibited the highest fluorescence quantum yield. These nanoparticles were then applied for fluorescence imaging in human glioblastoma cell line (U-251). After the cells were exposed to AZB-NO2@PCL, the materials appeared to be localized inside U-251 cells within 3 h and the fluorescence signal enhanced along with the increased incubation times. Moreover, 3D cell culture was used in this study to mimic in vivo tumor environments. The AZB-NO2@PCL exhibited bright fluorescence from U-251 cells inside 3D Ca-alginate scaffolds after 24 h incubation. Our study successfully demonstrated that the encapsulation of hydrophobic aza-BODIPY dye could enhance the water-suspendability of the dye yielding biocompatible nanoparticles efficiently used in cancer cell imaging applications. Encapsulation of hydrophobic aza-BODIPY dye could enhance its hydrophilicity yielding biocompatible nanoparticles which can be efficiently used in cancer cell imaging applications.![]()

Abstract
Tropomyosin receptor kinases receptor C is expressed at high levels on the surface of tumors from metastatic breast cancer, metastatic melanoma, glioblastoma, and neuroblastoma. Previous studies have shown synthetic TrkC ligands bearing agents for photodynamic therapy could be used to completely ablate 4T1 metastatic breast tumors and suppress metastatic spread in vivo. Modification of these probes (A in the text) to make them suitable for near infrared optical imaging in vivo would require a substantial increase in molecular mass (and hence increased vulnerability to undesirable absorption, metabolism and immunogenicity effects), or significant changes to the probe design which might compromise binding to TrkC in histochemical studies and on live cells. The research featured here was undertaken to investigate if the second strategy could be achieved without compromising binding to TrkC-expressing tissues. Specifically, an "aza-BODIPY" probe was synthesized to replace a spacer fragment in the original probe A. In the event, this new probe design (1a in the text) binds TrkC+ breast cancer in live cell cultures, in histochemical studies and in an in vivo murine model. Probe 1a binds TrkC+ tissues with good contrast with respect to healthy tissues, and much more strongly than an isomeric, non-TrkC binding, probe (1b) prepared as a negative control.

Abstract
Noninvasive dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was used to investigate the balance between renal clearance and tumor uptake behaviors of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified porphyrin nanoparticles (TCPP-PEG) with various molecular weights. TCPP-PEG10K nanoparticles with clearance behavior would be a good candidate for PET image-guided photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Actively targeting probe 1b, an unsymmetrical bivalent dipeptide mimic, selectively bound melanoma over healthy skin tissue in histological samples from patients and Sinclair swine. Modifications to 1b gave agents 2-4 that contain a near-IR aza-BODIPY fluor. Contrary to our expectations, symmetrical probe 3 gave the highest melanoma-to-healthy skin selectivity in histochemistry and experiments with live cells; this was surprising because 2, not 3, is unsymmetrical like the original lead 1. Optical imaging of 3 in a mouse melanoma model failed to show tumor accumulation in vivo, but the probe did selectively accumulate in the tumor (some in lung and less in the liver) as proven by analysis of the organs post mortem.
