Article Abstract
Nitroreductase (NTR) has been recognized as a biomarker for identifying the hypoxic status of cancers. Therefore, it is of high scientific interest to design effective fluorescent probes for tracking NTR activity. However, studies on elucidation of the structure-performance relationship of fluorescent probes and those providing valuable insight into optimized probe design have rarely been reported. Three BODIPY based fluorescent probes were made by conjugation of para-, ortho-, and meta-nitrobenzene to the BODIPY core via a thiolether bond, respectively. Our study revealed that the linkage and nitro substituent position significantly influence the capability of nitroreductase detection.

Purpose: Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have become the preferred vector for gene therapy in ophthalmology. However, requirements for specific cell surface receptors limit AAV-mediated retinal cell transduction efficiency. This led to the need to engineer novel AAV vectors for widespread retinal transduction and transgene expression.

Objectives: Ovarian cancer, a leading cause of gynecological malignancy-related mortality, is characterized by limited therapeutic options and a poor prognosis. Although pyrimethamine has emerged as a promising candidate demonstrating efficacy in treating various tumors, the precise mechanisms of its antitumor effects remain obscure. This study was specifically designed to investigate the mode of action underlying the antitumor effects of pyrimethamine in preclinical settings.

This paper presents a metal-free synthetic protocol for assembling novel benzofuro[2,3-]pyridin-3-ols (BFPYOLs) using 2,3-disubstituted benzofuran derivatives with good yield. The method's advantages include the absence of an expensive metal catalyst, organic ligands, and easily accessible starting materials. The photophysical properties of the synthesized BFPYOLs are investigated, revealing that the largest is displayed by compound 7g at 389 nm, while the largest is observed in compound 7i at 494 nm in DMSO solvent.

A novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) system with superior performance was successfully developed through local chemical modification from thiophene to thiophene sulfone. This approach, leveraging easily accessible tetraphenylthiophene precursors, dramatically enhances the photophysical properties in a simple oxidation step. Notably, the representative 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylthiophene sulfone (3c) demonstrates remarkable solid-state emission characteristics with a fluorescence quantum yield of 72% and an AIE factor of 240, substantially outperforming its thiophene analog.

Singlet oxygen (O) plays a crucial role in cancer chemotherapy and ROS biology, driving the need for highly specific probes to monitor its dynamics in real time. Herein, we developed the ratiometric fluorescent probe NAP-t-PY, utilizing a 2-pyridone recognition unit. The probe's 1-methyl-3-benzyl-2-pyridone moiety reacts specifically with O [4 + 2] cycloaddition, forming the endoperoxide NAP-t-PY-EP.
