Article Abstract
A novel mitochondria-targeted ratiometric two-photon fluorescent probe (Mito-MQ) for detecting intracellular cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) has been designed. Mito-MQ showed the ratiometric fluorescent detection signal (the green-to-blue emissionfrom 517nm to 460nm) to cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy) over glutathione (GSH), along with the fast response rate (10min). The detection mechanism was illustrated by H NMR, ESI-MS and theoretical calculation. The co-localization coefficient of 0.87 between Mito-MQ and MitoTracker Red revealed that the probe was predominantly present in mitochondria, therefore, Mito-MQ was successfully applied to detect mitochondrial oxidative stress by detecting the change of Cys/Hcy. Moreover, imaging in fresh tissue slices indicated that Mito-MQ could work in deep tissue (ca. 130µm) under two-photon excitation. Furthermore, the measurement of Cys/Hcy detection in zebrafish showed that probe can be used in determination of biothiols in vivo.

A new mitochondria-targeting fluorescent probe, 2-[(1E)-2-[(6-(dimethylamino)naphthalen)-2-yl]-ethenyl]-3-benzylbenzothiazolium bromide (NB), capable of simultaneously detecting viscosity and hydrogen sulfite ion (HSO₃), was synthesized. Under conditions of high viscosity, the near-infrared emission (710 nm) of NB was switched on as a result of the restriction of intramolecular bond rotation. In Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) aqueous solution, the Michael addition of HSO₃ to probe NB perturbs its π-conjugated system, inducing a fluorescence quenching at 710 nm accompanied by concurrent fluorescence enhancement at 424 nm, thereby enabling ratiometric detection of HSO₃.

In this work, we developed the first mitochondria-targeted ratiometric and colorimetric fluorescent probe for Hg detection, utilizing coumarin as the fluorophore, diphenylphosphinoselenoate as the recognition group, and -hydroxybenzyl moiety as the self-immolative spacer. Upon reaction with Hg, exhibited a significant blue shift in absorption spectra from 492 to 426 nm (Δ66 nm), resulting in color change from orange to pale yellow under natural light. Simultaneously, the fluorescence spectra of were blue-shifted from 570 to 498 nm (Δ72 nm), accompanied by a substantial increase in the emission ratio of F/F (/ up to 892-fold) and fluorescence color change from salmon pink to blue under 365 nm ultraviolet (UV) light.

Rational design of multifunctional molecules integrating diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities represents a cutting-edge yet challenging frontier in modern medicine. In this study, we present the first report on Rh-HB, a smart near-infrared (NIR) molecular probe engineered for mitochondria-targeted theranostics in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) bone metastasis. As a ratiometric, dual-excitation pH-sensitive fluorescent probe, Rh-HB enables real-time monitoring of mitochondrial pH fluctuations associated with early-stage metastatic progression.

Background: SO is an important gas molecular messenger that participates in many physiological activities and helps maintaining the redox homeostasis in biological system. Especially, SO can effectively regulate oxidative stress and improve mitochondrial morphology. Abnormal mitochondrial viscosity can lead to a variety of diseases.
