Article Abstract
Herein, we have meticulously derived the nanosized fluorescent aggregates from pyrene Schiff base (PS) in DMSO:water (10:90) ratio. The aggregation property of PS molecule was characterized by SEM and TEM measurements, revealed the aggregated particles are in spherical shape with ~3 nm in size. Moreover, aggregates exhibit a high fluorescence quantum yield (48%) which was effectively used for the in vitro bioimaging of two different cancer cells such as A549 and MCF-7 cells in which it exhibiting excellent biocompatibility. Further, it was estimated the capability of twofold acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining to identify the apoptotic associated changes in cancer cells. Additionally, the aggregates were successfully demonstrated as a luminescent probe for the perceptive biomolecule detection of bilirubin. On the other hand, the PS molecule was successfully utilized for protein binding and metal ion sensing studies. The interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with PS molecule in DMSO was using fluorescence spectroscopic method and nature of interaction was also confirmed through molecular docking analysis. The PS molecule also acts as an excellent sensor for biologically important Fe ion with detection limit of 336 nM. Overall, PS molecule can be a prospective material in biological field both in solution as well as aggregated forms.

Chemiluminescence offers distinct advantages for bioimaging and sensing, notably by eliminating the need for external light excitation and minimizing background interference. While the original phenoxy-1,2-dioxetanes have served as the cornerstone of chemiluminescent probe design, their efficiency is significantly compromised in aqueous environments. In this study, we report the development and evaluation of phenylamine-substituted 1,2-dioxetanes as a new class of luminophores with markedly enhanced performance under physiological conditions.

The development of biocompatible organic photosensitizers remains an important challenge for advancing image-guided photodynamic therapy. Specifically, photosensitizers that combine strong photodynamic activity, fluorescence emission for bioimaging, decrease or stop the proliferation of cancer cells, and allow synthetic accessibility are in high demand. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a new class of alloxazine-based photosensitizers (ANOMe, A8OMe and A7OMe).

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex multifactorial disorder with a genetic component in about 15% of cases. Multiplications and point mutations in SNCA gene, encoding α-synuclein (aSyn), are linked to rare familial forms of PD.
Objective: Our goal was to assess the clinical presentation and the biological effects of a novel K58N aSyn mutation identified in a patient with PD.
