Abstract
Globally, 91% of plant production encounters diverse environmental stresses that adversely affect their growth, leading to severe yield losses of 50-60%. In this case, monitoring the connection between the environment and plant health can balance population demands with environmental protection and resource distribution. Fluorescent chemosensors have shown great progress in monitoring the health and environment of plants due to their high sensitivity and biocompatibility. However, to date, no comprehensive analysis and systematic summary of fluorescent chemosensors used in monitoring the correlation between plant health and their environment have been reported. Thus, herein, we summarize the current fluorescent chemosensors ranging from their design strategies to applications in monitoring plant-environment interaction processes. First, we highlight the types of fluorescent chemosensors with design strategies to resolve the bottlenecks encountered in monitoring the health and living environment of plants. In addition, the applications of fluorescent small-molecule, nano and supramolecular chemosensors in the visualization of the health and living environment of plants are discussed. Finally, the major challenges and perspectives in this field are presented. This work will provide guidance for the design of efficient fluorescent chemosensors to monitor plant health, and then promote sustainable agricultural development.

Abstract
Cellular stress is a crucial factor in regulating and maintaining both organismal and microenvironmental homeostasis. It induces a response that also affects the micropolarity of specific cellular compartments, which is essential for early disease diagnosis. In this contribution, we present a quantitative study of micropolarity changes inside the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) during the G1/S and G2/M phases, using a biocompatible small-molecule fluorophore called ER-Oct. This probe is selectively driven to the ER by its hydrophobicity, and it has the fastest diffusion properties among a series of analogous probes. We found that induced ER stress caused cell cycle arrests leading to an increase in ER micropolarity which is well supported by lambda scanning experiments and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) as well. ER-Oct is a versatile staining agent that could effectively stain the ER in various living/fixed mammalian cells, isolated ER, Caenorhabditis elegans, and mice tissues. Furthermore, we used this probe to visualize a well-known biological event, ER to Golgi transport, by live-cell fluorescence microscopy. Our exhaustive investigation of micropolarity using ER-staining dye provides a new way to study ER stress, which could provide a deeper understanding of proteostasis in model systems and even in fixed patient samples.

Abstract
We describe SNAr reactions of some commercial amino-tetrazines and halo-dyes, which give efficiently quenched BODIPY/NBD-tetrazines (ΦFl < 0.01) in high yields and, importantly, with high purities affordable via simple silica gel chromatography only. The dyes exhibit large Stokes shifts, moderate environmental sensitivity, and emission enhancements (up to 193-fold) upon Tz ligation with BCN─a strained dienophile. They successfully serve as labels for HSA protein premodified with BCN, resulting in bright blue-green emission upon ligation.

Abstract
Millions of deaths occur each year due to the late diagnosis of abnormal cellular growth within the body. However, the devastating impact of this can be significantly reduced if cancer metastasis is detected early through the use of enzymatic biomarkers. Among several biomarkers, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) stands out as a member of the aminopeptidase family. It is primarily found on the surface of cancer cells such as glioma, ovarian, lung, and prostate cancer, without being overexpressed in normal cells or tissues. Recent years have witnessed significant progress in the field of cancer monitoring and imaging. Fluorescence sensing techniques have been employed, utilizing organic small molecular probes with enzyme-specific recognition sites. These probes emit a fluorescent signal upon interacting with GGT, enabling the imaging, identification, and differentiation of normal and cancerous cells, tissues, and organs. This review article presents a concise overview of recent progress in fluorescent probes developed for the selective detection of GGT, focusing on their applications in cancer imaging. It highlights the observed alterations in the fluorescence and absorption spectra of the probes before and after interaction with GGT. Additionally, the study investigates the changes in the probe molecule's structure following enzyme treatment, evaluates the sensor's detection limit, and consolidated imaging studies conducted using confocal fluorescence analysis. This comprehensive survey is expected to contribute to the advancement of sensing techniques for biomarker detection and cancer imaging, providing valuable insights for refining methodologies and inspiring future developments in this field.

Abstract
In recent years, the field of Supramolecular Chemistry has witnessed tremendous progress owing to the development of versatile optical sensors for the detection of harmful biological analytes. Nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) is one such scaffold that has been exploited as fluorescent probes for selective recognition of harmful analytes and their optical imaging in various cell lines including HeLa, PC3, A549, SMMC-7721, MDA-MB-231, HepG2, MFC-7, etc. The NBD-derived molecular probes are majorly synthesized from the chloro derivative of NBD via nucleophilic aromatic substitution. This general NBD moiety ligation method to nucleophiles has been leveraged to develop various derivatives for sensing analytes. NBD-derived probes are extensively used as optical sensors because of remarkable properties like excellent stability, large Stoke's shift, high efficiency and stability, visible excitation, easy use, low cost, and high quantum yield. This article reviewed NBD-based probes for the years 2017-2023 according to the sensing of analyte(s), including cations, anions, thiols, and small molecules like hydrogen sulfide. The sensing mechanism, designing of the probe, plausible binding mechanism, and biological application of chemosensors are summarized. The real-time application of optical sensors has been discussed by various methods, such as paper strips, molecular logic gates, smartphone detection, development of test kits, etc. This article will update the researchers with the in vivo and in vitro biological applicability of NBD-based molecular probes and challenges the research fraternity to design, propose, and develop better chemosensors in the future possessing commercial utility.

Evaluating the in vitro wettability and coefficient of friction of a novel and contemporary reusable silicone hydrogel contact lens materials using an in vitro blink model. Cont Lens Anterior Eye 2024; 47:102129. [PMID: 38423868 DOI: 10.1016/j.clae.2024.102129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the in vitro wettability and coefficient of friction of a novel amphiphilic polymeric surfactant (APS), poly(oxyethylene)-co-poly(oxybutylene) (PEO-PBO) releasing silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lens material (serafilcon A), compared to other reusable SiHy lens materials. METHODS The release of fluorescently-labelled nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD)-PEO-PBO was evaluated from serafilcon A over 7 days in a vial. The wettability and coefficient of friction of serafilcon A and three contemporary SiHy contact lens materials (senofilcon A; samfilcon A; comfilcon A) were evaluated using an in vitro blink model over their recommended wearing period; t = 0, 1, 7, 14 days for all lens types and t = 30 days for samfilcon A and comfilcon A (n = 4). Sessile drop contact angles were determined and in vitro non-invasive keratographic break-up time (NIKBUT) measurements were assessed on a blink model via the OCULUS Keratograph 5 M. The coefficient of friction was measured using a nano tribometer. RESULTS The relative fluorescence of NBD-PEO-PBO decreased in serafilcon A by approximately 18 % after 7 days. The amount of NBD-PEO-PBO released on day 7 was 50 % less than the amount released on day 1 (6.5±1.0 vs 3.4±0.5 µg/lens). The reduction in PEO-PBO in the lens also coincided with an increase in contact angles for serafilcon A after 7 days (p < 0.05), although there were no changes in NIKBUT or coefficient of friction (p > 0.05). The other contact lens materials had stable contact angles and NIKBUT over their recommended wearing period (p > 0.05), with the exception of samfilcon A, which had an increase in contact angle after 14 days as compared to t = 0 (p < 0.05). Senofilcon A and samfilcon A also showed an increase in coefficient of friction at 14 and 30 days, respectively, compared to their blister pack values (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results indicate that serafilcon A gradually depletes its reserve of PEO-PBO over 1 week, but this decrease did not significantly change the lens performance in vitro during this time frame.

Abstract
Herein, we designed and examined a series of fluorescent peptide-based probes for turn-on detection of hyaluronan (HA), a member of the glycosaminoglycan family. We utilized two kinds of synthetic HA-binding peptides as the binding unit for HA, and each peptide was coupled with three kinds of environment-sensitive fluorophores as the signaling unit. From the examination of the peptides, fluorophores, and the position and number of fluorophore modification, we found that X7 peptide (RYPISRPRKR) labelled with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorogen, tetraphenylethene (TPE), at the N-terminal (named TPE-X7) did function as a light-up probe for HA. The response of TPE-X7 was highly selective to higher molecular weight HA in comparison with lower ones, having the possible potential for the analysis of HA size. TPE-X7 was also applicable to the quantification of HA in synovial fluids.

Abstract
This research centers on the development and synthesis of a longwave fluorescence probe, labeled as 60T, designed for the simultaneous detection of hydrogen sulfide, cysteine/homocysteine, and glutathione. The probe showcases a swift response, good linearity range, and heightened sensitivity, boasting that the detection limits of the probe for Cys, Hcy, GSH and H2S were 0.140, 0.202, 0.259 and 0.396 μM, respectively. Notably, its efficacy in monitoring thiol status changes in live MCF-7 cells is underscored by a substantial decrease in fluorescence intensity upon exposure to the thiol trapping reagent, N-ethyl maleimide (NEM). With an impressive red emission signal at 630 nm and a substantial Stokes shift of 80 nm, this probe exhibits remarkable sensitivity and selectivity for biothiols and H2S, indicating promising applications in the diagnosis and surgical navigation of relevant cancers.

Abstract
Pesticide detection and monitoring are necessary for human health as the overapplication has serious consequences for environmental pollution. Herein, a proper modulation strategy was implemented to construct the photostimulus-responsive peptide-dot-centered covalent organic polymer (P-PCOP) nanoarchitecture for selective sensing of pesticides. The as-constructed P-PCOP was prepared at room temperature by using amino-containing peptide dots as a building block instead of common organic molecules, and the merits of P-PCOP enable it to reduce the steric hindrance of recognition, enhance the interfacial contact of the target, and facilitate the accessibility of sites, which promises to improve the sensitivity. The P-PCOF exhibited a low detection limit of 0.38 μg L-1 to cartap over the range of 1-80 μg L-1 (R2 = 0.9845), and the recoveries percentage in real samples was estimated to be 93.39-105.82%. More importantly, the DFT calculation confirmed the selective recognition ability of P-PCOP on chemical pesticides. In conjunction with a smartphone-integrated portable reading device, on-site chemical sensing is achieved. The proper modulation strategy of fixing a functional guest on the COP system contributes to the advanced structure-chemical properties that are conducive to their applications in chemical sensing.

Abstract
Emission of toxic gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO2) and its derivative bisulfite (HSO3-) from various industrial applications, like food processing, transportation, and the coking process, has raised substantial concerns regarding environmental quality and public health. The probes for specific and sensitive detection of SO2 derivatives plays an essential role in their regulation, and ultimately mitigating their environmental and health implications, but the one that can detect SO2 derivatives onsite by end users remains limited. Herein, we report a new near-infrared fluorescence probe (SL) for rapid and onsite detection of SO2 derivative, HSO3- in industrial wastewater, food samples and for sensing its interaction with biological organisms. The SL is developed through coupling of quinolinium and coumarin moiety through an electron deficit CC bond that can specifically react with HSO3- via a Michael addition. By recording the blue shift of absorption and emission spectra, SL can sensitively detect HSO3- (limit of detection, 38 nM) in aqueous solution within 40 s SL is biocompatible, can be used for evaluating toxicity of SO2 derivatives in living organisms. The preparation of SL-stained test paper allows the colorimetric/fluorometric analysis for quantification of HSO3- onsite in food, river and coking wastewater samples using a smartphone. The successful development of SL not only provides a new tool to investigate HSO3- in biological, food and environmental systems, but also potentially promotes the application of fluorescence technique for rapid and onsite analysis of real-world samples by end users.

Abstract
A novel cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) targeted H2S-activated cancer-specific fluorescent probe, namely, COX2-H2S, was designed and synthesized, with naphthalimide as the fluorophore and indomethacin as the targeting group. This H2S-sensing probe was developed to differentiate tumor cells from normal cells and was tested in living cells, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), and zebrafish. The probe could successfully be used for imaging endogenous and exogenous H2S in living cells, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity and strong anti-interference. COX2-H2S had the ability to not only discern cancer cells from normal cells but also specifically recognize 9L/lacZ cells from other glioblastoma cells (U87-MG and LN229). It could also be successfully applied for the fluorescent live imaging of H2S in both C. elegans and zebrafish.

Abstract
Cervical cancer screening is a crucial field of femtech (female technology). In this work, we disclosed a new femtech solution─a simple, straightforward, and on-site applicable urine-based cervical cancer diagnostic method using a fluorescent biothiol probe. Our newly developed nitrobenzene-based fluorescent probe, named NPS-B, effectively differentiates between cysteine and homocysteine within urine samples via controlled Smiles rearrangement. The analysis of emission-based signals offers the potential utility of this method in cervical cancer. NPS-B was designed by considering the substitution effect and structural polarity of the nitrobenzene-based fluorophore. This controlled modification of nitrobenzene-induced substantial intramolecular charge transfer changes in the fluorophore when exposed to biothiols, resulting in significant changes in photophysical properties. NPS-B displayed different emissions of cysteine and homocysteine in clinical human urine (without prior urine treatment). Overall, our findings provide insights not only into fundamental chemical science but also into the broader domain of applied sciences.

Abstract
As one of the members of reactive sulfur species, hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn, n > 1) plays an important role in enzyme activity and nervous system regulations, and the sensing mechanism study is of great significance for the design of novel efficient probes. Herein, we investigated the sensing mechanism of an efficient triphenylamine-benzofuran-based probe (TBF-SS) towards H2Sn using DFT method. The inherent fluorescence quenching of the probe is dominated by the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) as revealed by the torsional potential curve calculations. When the nitro fluorophenyl group is replaced by a hydroxyl group in the reaction with H2Sn, the TICT is eliminated and the excited state can return to the ground state in a radiative way, leading to strong fluorescence emission.

Abstract
The poor water solubility of traditional activatable organic molecular probes usually limits their detection ability in physiological environment. In this work, a positively charged H2S probe was designed, which exhibited a significantly enhanced responsiveness to H2S in the aggregated state due to the increased positive charge density on the aggregate surface. Under physiological conditions, the probe could be activated by H2S with specificity and sensitivity to release near-infrared fluorescence signal. Moreover, endogenous H2S levels in living cells were successfully monitored by using this probe. We expect that this probe can provide a new strategy for the design of activatable probes to break the limitation of poor water solubility of conventional organic molecular probes.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important biological mediator across all kingdoms of life and plays intertwined roles in various disciplines, ranging from geochemical cycles to industrial processes. A common need across these broad disciplines is the ability to detect and measure H2S in complex sample environments. This Perspective focuses on key advances and opportunities for H2S detection and quantification that are relevant to chemical biology. Specifically, we focus on methods for H2S detection and quantification most commonly used in biological samples, including activity-based H2S probes, the methylene blue assay, the monobromobimane assay, and H2S-sensitive electrode measurements. Our goal is to help simplify what at first may seem to be an overwhelming array of detection and measurement choices, to articulate the strengths and limitations of individual techniques, and to highlight key unmet needs and opportunities in the field.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a significant gas signal molecule, is closely related to various physiological/pathological processes. The monitoring of H2S is crucial in understanding the occurrence and development of diseases such as cancers. Emerging evidence suggests that abnormal regulation of Lipid droplets (LDs) is associated with many human diseases. For example, cancer cells are characterized by the abnormal accumulation of LDs. Therefore, understanding the relationship between LDs and cancer is of great significance for developing therapies against cancer. To address this challenge, we designed and developed a LD-targeting and H2S-activated probe (BTDA-DNB) by engineering a 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether (DNBE) as the H2S reactive site. In the presence of H2S, a strongly fluorescent emitter, 3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-N,N-diethyl-2-imino-2H-chromen-7-amine (BTDA) was obtained with the leaving of DNBE group. BTDA-DNB displayed favorable sensitivity, selectivity and functioning well at physiological pH. The probe features excellent LD-targeting specificity and low cellular toxicity. The practical applications of LD-targeting probe BTDA-DNB as H2S probe in living cells, cancer tissues and Arabidopsis seedling have been evaluated. The excellent imaging performance demonstrates a potential ability for cancer diagnosis. Benefitted from the excellent performance on visual recognition H2S, a robust smartphone-integrated platform for H2S analysis was also successfully established.

Abstract
The extensive research work in the exhilarating area of foldamers (artificial oligomers possessing well-defined conformation in solution) has shown them to be promising candidates in biomedical research and materials science. The post-modification approach is successful in peptides, proteins, and polymers to modulate their functions. To the best of our knowledge, site-selective post-modification of a foldamer affording molecules with different pendant functional groups within a molecular scaffold has not yet been reported. We demonstrate for the first time that late-stage site-selective functionalization of short hybrid oligomers is an efficient approach to afford molecules with diverse functional groups. In this article, we report the design and synthesis of hybrid peptides with repeating units of leucine (Leu) and 5-amino salicylic acid (ASA), regioselective post-modification, conformational analyses (based on solution-state NMR, circular dichroism and computational studies) and morphological studies of the peptide nanostructures. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate the applications of differently modified peptides as drug delivery agents, imaging probes, and anticancer agents. The novel feature of the work is that the difference in reactivity of two phenolic OH groups in short biomimetic peptides was utilized to achieve site-selective post-modification. It is challenging to apply the same approach to short α-peptides having a poor folding tendency, and their post-functionalization may considerably affect their conformation.

Abstract
Fluorometric assays are one of the most frequently used methods in medicinal chemistry. Over the last 50 years, the reporter molecules for the detection of protease activity have evolved from first-generation colorimetric p-nitroanilides, through FRET substrates, and 7-amino-4-methyl coumarin (AMC)-based substrates. The aim of further substrate development is to increase sensitivity and reduce vulnerability to assay interferences. Herein, we describe a new generation of substrates for protease assays based on 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl-amides (NBD-amides). In this study, we synthesized and tested substrates for 10 different proteases from the serine-, cysteine-, and metalloprotease classes. Enzyme- and substrate-specific parameters as well as the inhibitory activity of literature-known inhibitors confirmed their suitability for application in fluorometric assays. Hence, we were able to present NBD-based alternatives for common protease substrates. In conclusion, these NBD substrates are not only less susceptible to common assay interference, but they are also able to replace FRET-based substrates with the requirement of a prime site amino acid residue.

Abstract
In bioengineering, fluorescent amine-reactive probes are invaluable for the detection of amine species. In particular, targeting probes for lysine, which has a free amino group in amino acids, are a valid method for protein detection. For this purpose, many fluorescent "turn-on type" probes with amine reactivity have been developed; however, they require improvements. In the typical florescence probes, BODIPY and NBD analogs have small Stokes shifts based on absorption and emission and lability in an aqueous environment, respectively. In this study, a new class of fluorescent probes, 1,8-Nap-F, based on the electron push-pull-type 1,8-naphthyridine framework, was designed and investigated as an amine-reactive probe. Generally, electron push-pull-type fluorophores exhibit a large Stokes shift at the expense of fluorescent enhancement in aqueous media; thus, there is a trade-off between possessing a large Stokes shift and intense emission. However, 1,8-Nap-F reacts with primary amines, yielding emissive amine products with a large Stokes shift (>70 nm) without fluorescence quenching and side products, even in an aqueous environment, thereby overcoming the disadvantages of electron push-pull-type fluorophores and lability in aqueous conditions. By applying the specific features of 1,8-Nap-F, we achieved selective lysine detection and fluorescence bioimaging, such as endoplasmic reticulum-selective protein labeling and organelle staining, in living cells by utilizing amine-substituted derivatives.

Abstract
The well-known small-molecule biothiols have been used to maintain the normal metabolism of peroxy radicals, forming protein structures, resisting cell apoptosis, regulating metabolism, and protecting the homeostasis of cells in the organism. A large amount of research has found that abnormal levels of the above biothiols can cause some adverse diseases, such as changes in hair pigmentation, a slower growth rate, delayed response, excessive sleep and skin diseases. In order to further investigate the exact intracellular molecular mechanism of biothiols, it is imperative to explore effective strategies for real-time biothiol detection in living systems. In this work, a new near-infrared (NIR) emission fluorescence probe (probe 1) for sensitive and selective detection of biothiols was devised by combining dicyanoisophorone derivatives with the dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) group. As expected, probe 1 could specifically detect biothiols (Cys, Hcy and GSH) through the dinitrobenzenesulfonyl group to form dye 2, which works as a signaling molecule for sensing biothiols in real samples. Surprisingly, probe 1 showed superior sensing characteristics and low-limit detection towards biothiols (36.0 nM for Cys, 39.0 nM for Hcy and 48.0 nM for GSH) with a large Stokes shift (134 nm). Additionally, the function of probe 1 as a platform for detecting biothiols was confirmed by confocal fluorescence imaging of biothiols in MCF-7 cells and zebrafish. More importantly, the capability of probe 1 in vivo has been further evaluated by imaging the overexpressed biothiols in tumor tissue. It is reasonable to believe that probe 1 can provide a valuable method to explore the relationship between biothiols and the genesis of tumor.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a central signaling and antioxidant biomolecule involved in various biological processes. As inappropriate levels of H2S in the human body are closely related to various diseases, including cancer, a tool capable of detecting H2S with high selectivity and sensitivity in living systems is urgently required. In this work, we intended to develop a biocompatible and activatable fluorescent molecular probe for detecting H2S generation in living cells. The 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole-imbedded naphthalimide (1) probe presented here responds specifically to H2S and produces readily detectable fluorescence at 530 nm. Interestingly, probe 1 exhibited significant fluorescence responses to changes in endogenous H2S levels as well as high biocompatibility and permeability in living HeLa cells. This allowed for the real-time monitoring of endogenous H2S generation as an antioxidant defense response in the oxidatively stressed cells.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive sulfur species (RSS) are involved in many physiological processes and act as collaborators with crosstalk. As an important member of gasotransmitters and RSS, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) carries out signaling functions at submicromolar levels because of its high reactivity. Mechanisms of dynamic regulation of ROS and H2S production are poorly understood, and the development of a highly selective and organelle-targeted chemical tool will advance the further understanding of H2S chemical biology and ROS/RSS crosstalk. Herein, we report a highly selective and sensitive, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeted fluorescent probe (ER-BODIPY-NBD) for revealing cisplatin-induced H2S biogenesis for the first time. The probe demonstrates a 152-fold fluorescence enhancement at 520 nm after reaction with H2S to release a bright BODIPY product (quantum yield 0.36). The probe is highly selective toward H2S over biothiols, ER-targeted, and biocompatible. In addition, the probe was successfully employed to track H2S biogenesis in live cells via stimulation from exogenous hypochlorous acid and the drug cisplatin.

Abstract
Compared to conventionally synthesized organic compounds, peptides with amphiphiles have unique advantages, especially in self-assembly. Herein, we reported a peptide-based molecule rationally designed for the visual detection of copper ions (Cu2+) in multiple modes. The peptide exhibited excellent stability, high luminescence efficiency, and environmentally responsive molecular self-assembly in water. In the presence of Cu2+, the peptide undergoes an ionic coordination interaction and a coordination-driven self-assembly process that leads to the quenching of fluorescence and the formation of aggregates. Therefore, the concentration of Cu2+ can be determined by the residual fluorescence intensity and the color difference between peptide and competing chromogenic agents before and after Cu2+ incorporation. More importantly, this variation in fluorescence and color can be presented visually, thus allowing qualitative and quantitative analysis of Cu2+ based on the naked eye and smartphones. Overall, our study not only extends the application of self-assembling peptides but also provides a universal method for dual-mode visual detection of Cu2+, which would significantly promote point-of-care testing (POCT) of metal ions in pharmaceuticals, food, and drinking water.

Abstract
Carprofen (CPF) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has been widely used in livestock for the treatment of fever and inflammation. Yet the massive use of CPF comes at the cost of its residue ubiquitous in the environment thus leading to a huge risk to human health. Therefore, development of a convenient analytical method for monitoring CPF is of considerable importance. In this study, a dual-emissive supramolecular sensor was facilely constructed using bovine serum albumin as the host and an environmentally sensitive dye as the guest. This sensor, for the first time, successfully realized the fluorescent detection of CPF with a rapid response, high sensitivity and selectivity. More importantly, this sensor exhibited a very unique ratiometric response to CPF, which endowed this method with satisfactory detection accuracy for food analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fluorescent method for fast determination of CPF in food.

Abstract
Fluorescence-guided surgery (FSG) is a surgical method to selectively visualize the tumor site using fluorescent materials with instrumental setups in the operation rooms. It has been widely used in the surgery of brain tumors, such as glioblastoma (GBM), which is difficult to distinguish from normal tissue. Although FSG is crucial for GBM surgery, the commercially available fluorescent materials for FSG have shown serious adverse effects. To satisfy the clinical demand, we recently reported reaction-based fluorescent probes based on a 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD) fluorophore that can detect cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy), a biomarker of GBM, and their applications for the GBM diagnosis and FSG. However, our probes have cellular toxicity issues arising from the leaving group (LG) that is generated after the reaction of the fluorescent probe and the analytes. In this study, we disclosed a nontoxic fluorescent probe for sensing biothiols and their clinical applications for real-time human glioblastoma visualization. Systematic toxicity analysis of several LGs was conducted on several cell lines. Among the LGs, 2-hydroxy-pyridine showed negligible toxicity, and its fluorescent probe derivative (named NPO-o-Pyr) showed high specificity and sensitivity (LOD: 0.071 ppm for Cys; 0.189 ppm for Hcy), a fast response time (<5 min) to Cys and Hcy, and high biocompatibility. In addition, NPO-o-Pyr can significantly detect the GBM site both in actual clinical samples as well as in the GBM-xenografted mouse model. We are confident that NPO-o-Pyr will become a new substitute in FSG due to its capability to overcome the limitations of the current fluorescent probes.

Abstract
In this work, a novel triphenylamine-benzofuran derived fluorescent probe, TBF-SS, was developed for detecting hydrogen polysulfide in tea samples and intracellular imaging. TBF-SS showed the practical advantages including high sensitivity (LOD = 0.01 μM), high selectivity, rapid response (within 15 min), and steadiness in various environmental conditions. The detecting system was steady within pH range of 6.0-11.0 and temperature range of 20-55 °C. The probe TBF-SS could guarantee the stable detection of H2Sn for 7 d in storage of either solid or solution. In particular, in the application of various tea samples with different brewing times and testing temperatures, the recovery percentages varied in the range of 95.22 % to 105.0 %. Therefore accurate monitoring of H2Sn could be achieved by using the probe TBF-SS. In addition, TBF-SS could monitor the exogenous level, the β-lapachone-induced generation and the tea-sample-treated introduction of H2Sn in living MCF-7 cells. This work might inspire the improvement of the serviceability of fluorescent implements.

Abstract
Nowadays, the selective release of therapeutic drugs into tumor cells has become an important way of tumor treatment due to the high side effects of chemotherapy drugs. As one of the gas mediators, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is closely related to cancer. Due to the high content of H2S in tumor cells, it can be used as a signaling molecule that triggers the release of drugs to achieve the selective release of therapeutic drugs. In addition, dual-channel fluorescence imaging technology can be better applied to monitor the drug delivery process and distinguish the state before and after drug release, so as to better track the effect of drug therapy. Based on this, we used NBD amines (NBD-NHR) as the recognition group of H2S and connected the tyrosine kinase inhibitor crizotinib to construct an activated dual-channel fluorescent probe CZ-NBD. After the probe enters the tumor cells, it consumes H2S and releases crizotinib, which is highly toxic to the tumor cells. Importantly, the probe displays significant fluorescence changes in different cells, enabling not only the screening of tumor cells, but also tracking and monitoring drug release and tumor cell activity. Therefore, the construction of probe CZ-NBD provides a new strategy for drug release monitoring in tumor cells.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a key fundamental gasotransmitter regulates various biological processes, and the incontrollable H2S is essentially associated with the occurrence and development of multiple diseases, including cancers. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as an invasive tumor treatment technology, has also attracted great attentions. Due to the key role of elevated H2S in cancers, integrating H2S depletion/recognition and PDT should be an effective strategy to enhance anticancer performance. In this work, we report a H2S depletion aided PDT platform (3RAX-NBD) by the chemical ligation of 3RAX and NBD. 3RAX-NBD can react rapidly with H2S and generate a novel 3RAX derivative compound 3 with increased fluorescence in vitro and in vivo. More notably, 3RAX-NBD can effectively kill multiple cancer cells through in situ irradiation, and 3RAX-NBD also has prominent anticancer effects on 4 T1 tumor-bearing BALB/c female mice with no notably toxic side effects. We believe that our H2S depletion aided PDT platform may provide a powerful tool for studying the key roles of H2S in diseases, and also give another promising candidate for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Imaging cancer specific biomarkers with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes can help inaccurate diagnosis. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been reported to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes and is considered as one of the key gasotransmitters during the development of cancer. To achieve specific H2S detection in cancer cells, we reported a biotin-guided NIR fluorescent sensor P1 targeting a cancer cell surface biomarker, based on the H2S-specific thiolysis of the NBD-amine-hemicyanine conjugate. The probe showed a fast turn-on signal at 754 nm upon H2S activation and good selectivity towards H2S over millimolar levels of other biothiols. We successfully employed P1 to image endogenous H2S and demonstrated its tumor-targeting ability in live cells. P1 could differentiate multiple cancer cells with various levels of H2S from normal cells, indicating its potential for cancer imaging.

Abstract
Sterols play a significant role in many physiological processes affecting membrane organization, transport, permeability, and signal transduction. The development of fluorescent sterol analogs that have immediate functional relevance to the natural biomolecules is one approach to understanding the sterol-driven physiological processes. Visualizing cellular compartments with tailor-made fluorescent molecules through specific labeling methods enables organelle targeting and reveals dynamic information. In this review, we focus on the recent literature published between 2020 and 2022, with particular emphasis on extrinsic fluorophores and their investigations of sterol-driven biological processes involving sterol transport, biomolecular interactions, and biological imaging.

Abstract
The ability to effectively detect bacterial infection in human tissues is important for the timely treatment of the infection. However, traditional techniques fail to visualize bacterial species adhered to host cells in situ in a target-specific manner. Dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) exclusively exists in bacterial species and metabolically converts p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) to folic acid (FA). By targeting this bacterium-specific metabolism, we have developed a fluorescent imaging probe, PABA-DCM, based on the conjugation of PABA with a long-wavelength fluorophore, dicyanomethylene 4H-pyran (DCM). We confirmed that the probe can be used in the synthetic pathway of a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and negative bacteria, resulting in a significantly extended retention time in bacterial over mammalian cells. We validated that DHPS catalytically introduces a dihydropteridine group to the amino end of the PABA motif of PABA-DCM, and the resulting adduct leads to an increase in the FA levels of bacteria. We also constructed a hydrogel dressing containing PABA-DCM and graphene oxide (GO), termed PABA-DCM@GO, that achieves target-specific fluorescence visualization of bacterial infection on the wounded tissues of mice. Our research paves the way for the development of fluorescent imaging agents that target species-conserved metabolic pathways of microorganisms for the in situ monitoring of infections in human tissues.

Abstract
Recent advances in optical bioimaging have prompted the need for minimal chemical reporters that can retain the molecular recognition properties and activity profiles of biomolecules. As a result, several methodologies to reduce the size of fluorescent and Raman labels to a few atoms (e.g., single aryl fluorophores, Raman‐active triple bonds and isotopes) and embed them into building blocks (e.g., amino acids, nucleobases, sugars) to construct native‐like supramolecular structures have been described. The integration of small optical reporters into biomolecules has also led to smart molecular entities that were previously inaccessible in an expedite manner. In this article, we review recent chemical approaches to synthesize miniaturized optical tags as well as some of their multiple applications in biological imaging.

Abstract
Kasugamycin (KSM), an aminoglycoside antibiotic, has been widely used for the management of plant diseases, especially for the control of rice blast in Asia. However, its uptake mechanism and transport in plants are still obscure. The castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) seeding, a model plant for phloem transport, was used to study the mechanism of uptake and transport of KSM. Results showed that cotyledon-applied KSM could transport into the phloem and distributed in root and shoot of plant. The temperature, concentration, and pH had significant effects on the uptake of KSM, indicating that the uptake of KSM was mediated by an active carrier system. Compared with the control, competitive inhibitors of sugar transporters D-glucose, D-chiro-inositol, and phloridzin inhibited 71.03%, 67.95%, and 61.73% uptake of KSM, respectively. Energy inhibitor dinitrophenol (DNP) and carbonyl cyanide chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) also affected the uptake of KSM, and the inhibition rates were 34.23% and 48.06%. All the results showed that the uptake of KSM was mediated by a sugar transporter, and it could transport from shoot to root in plants via the phloem. The study preliminary elucidated the plant-microbe interactions in the context of the transport of microbial secondary metabolites in plants. It has certain significance for scientific application of antibiotics and biological control of plant diseases and provides theoretical basis for the development of bidirectional transport pesticides.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are crucial biological organelles connected with metabolic pathways in biological systems and diseases. To monitor the locations and accumulation of LDs in lipid-related diseases, the development of a visualization tool for LDs has gained importance. In particular, LD visualization using fluorescent probes has gained attention. Herein, a new fluorescent nanoprobe, BMeS-Ali, is developed that can sense LDs based on an amphiphilic single benzene-based fluorophore (SBBF). BMeS-Ali consists of hydrophilic (-NH2) and hydrophobic (-C12H25) moieties and exists as a micelle nanostructure in aqueous media. BMeS-Ali has a weak fluorescence, but its emission was dramatically enhanced upon exposure to the LD components such as oleic acids (OA) by reassembling its nano-formulation. BMeS-Ali showed a selective LD staining ability and great biocompatibility in cells (cancer cells and stem cells). It also showed a practical sensing ability towards biologically derived lipids and can be applied to the visualization of human fingerprints. We found that the nanoprobe BMeS-Ali has significant potential to serve as a practical dye and sensor for lipids, especially for LD imaging in the biomedical research area and broader industrial applications.

Abstract
Luminescence chemosensors are one of the most useful tools for the determination and imaging of small biomolecules and ions in situ in real time. Based on the unique photo-physical/-chemical properties of ruthenium(II) (Ru(II)) complexes, the development of Ru(II) complex-based chemosensors has attracted increasing attention in recent years, and thus many Ru(II) complexes have been designed and synthesized for the detection of ions and small biomolecules in biological and environmental samples. In this work, we summarize the research advances in the development of Ru(II) complex-based chemosensors for the determination of ions and small biomolecules, including anions, metal ions, reactive biomolecules and amino acids, with a particular focus on binding/reaction-based chemosensors for the investigation of intracellular analytes’ evolution through luminescence analysis and imaging. The advances, challenges and future research directions in the development of Ru(II) complex-based chemosensors are also discussed.

Abstract
The thiolysis of NBD piperazinyl amine (NBD-PZ) is highly selective for H2S over GSH and has been widely used for the development of many H2S fluorescent probes. Whether the NBD amine in H2S-specific probes could be a fluorescent quencher should be further clarified, because NBD amines have been used as environment-sensitive fluorophores for many years. Here, we compared the properties of NBD-based secondary and tertiary amines under the same conditions. For example, the emission of NBD-N(Et)2 is much smaller in water and less responsive to changes in polarity than that of NBD-NHEt. The emission of NBD-PZ-TPP is also smaller than that of NBD-NH-TPP both in aqueous buffer and in live cells. In addition, confocal bioimaging signals of NBD-PZ-TPP with excitation at 405 nm and 454 nm are much weaker than that at 488 nm. Based on these results as well as the previous work on NBD-based probes, we discuss and summarize the design strategies and sensing mechanisms for different NBD-based H2S probes. Moreover, NBD-PZ-TPP may be a useful tool for reaction with and imaging of mitochondrial H2S in live cells. This work should be useful for clarification of the roles of NBD in H2S-specific fluorescent probes as well as for facilitating the development of future NBD-based probes.

Abstract
Cu-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of ethyl 2-azidoacetate to iodobuta-1,3-diynes and subsequent Sonogashira cross-coupling were used to synthesize a large series of new triazole-based push–pull chromophores: 4,5-bis(arylethynyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazoles. The study of their optical properties revealed that all molecules have fluorescence properties, the Stokes shift values of which exceed 150 nm. The fluorescent properties of triazoles are easily adjustable depending on the nature of the substituents attached to aryl rings of the arylethynyl moieties at the C4 and C5 atoms of the triazole core. The possibility of 4,5-bis(arylethynyl)-1,2,3-triazoles’ application for labeling was demonstrated using proteins and the HEK293 cell line. The results of an MTT test on two distinct cell lines, HEK293 and HeLa, revealed the low cytotoxicity of 4,5-bis(arylethynyl)triazoles, which makes them promising fluorescent tags for labeling and tracking biomolecules.

Abstract
Cancer, as a malignant tumor, seriously endangers human health. The study of cancer diagnosis and therapy has great practical significance. The development of theranostic agents has become a very important research topic. Nevertheless, some existing agents still have imperfections, such as complex structures and difficult syntheses. Therefore, it is urgent for researchers to develop simple novel theranostic agents. In this study, the precipitated fluorophore HAPQ was used as a simple drug molecule for the first time and combined with NBD-Cl to construct a simple and efficient theranostic probe (HAPQ-NBD). The theranostic probe can distinguish between tumor cells and normal cells based on the higher levels of biothiol in tumor cells. In addition, the probe can use biothiol as a control switch to release higher levels of precipitated fluorophore HAPQ in tumor cells, leading to selective high toxicity to tumor cells, thus achieving the goal of selectively killing tumor cells. The construction of probe HAPQ-NBD provides a practical tool for the diagnosis and therapy of cancer. It is expected that the development and utilization of precipitated fluorophore will provide a new method and strategy for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Development of a Highly Specific, Selective, and Sensitive Fluorescent Probe for Detection of Mycobacteria in Human Tissues. Adv Healthc Mater 2022; 11:e2102640.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), including extrapulmonary TB, is responsible for more than one million deaths in a year worldwide. Existing methods of mycobacteria detection have poor sensitivity, selectivity, and specificity, especially in human tissues. Herein, the synthesis of a cholic acid-derived fluorescent probe (P4) that can specifically stain the mycobacterium species is presented. It is shown that P4 probe specifically binds with mycobacterial lipids, trehalose monomycolate, and phosphatidylinositol mannoside 6. P4 probe can detect mycobacteria in polymicrobial planktonic cultures and biofilms with high specificity, selectivity, and sensitivity. Moreover, it can detect a single mycobacterium in the presence of 10 000 other bacilli. Unlike the probes that depend on active mycobacterial enzymes, the membrane-specific P4 probe can detect mycobacteria even in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mice and human tissue sections. Therefore, the ability of the P4 probe to detect mycobacteria in different biological milieu makes it a potential candidate for diagnostic and prognostic applications in clinical settings.
