Article Abstract
As one of the typical fluorescent cores, dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran (DCM) derivatives exhibit excellent photophysical and photochemical properties, such as large Stokes shift, excellent light stability, and tunable near-infrared (NIR) emission. The luminescence mechanism of DCM probes mainly depends on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). Hence, by regulating the ICT process, the probes can specifically act on the target molecule. Accordingly, a series of NIR DCM probes have been constructed to detect the ions, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and biological macromolecules in cells. However, there is no relevant review to summarize it at present. This minireview mainly summarizes the NIR DCM probes based on ICT effect and their applications in biosensors and biological imaging in recent years. This will be beneficial to innovatively construct new DCM probes and actively promote their application in the future.

Understanding proton transfer at the aqueous graphene oxide (GO) interface is essential for developing and designing GO-based proton exchange membranes for fuel cells. By comparing GO sheets with two different oxidation levels using deep potential molecular dynamics (DPMD) simulations, we find that oxidized GO promotes interfacial proton release while reduced GO adsorbs protons.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with complex pathogenesis. Ferroptosis, an iron-regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, is closely linked to PD progression. Excessive hydroxyl radical (•OH) accumulation can cause severe neural damage and is associated with neurodegenerative diseases, but its role in PD remains unclear.

Near-infrared (NIR) chemiluminescent probes offer high sensitivity for biological sensing applications. Herein, we present two NIR chemiluminescent probes for leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) detection, designed by covalently linking the dicyanomethylene-4-pyran (DCM) fluorophore to Schaap's dioxetane scaffold. The impact of substitution position on chemiluminescence kinetics and enzymatic responsiveness revealed that only the -substituted probe with minimal steric hindrance enables efficient and imaging of LAP activity.

This study explores the role and underlying molecular mechanisms of fucoidan sulfate(FPS) in regulating heme oxygenase-1(Hmox1)-mediated ferroptosis to ameliorate myocardial injury in diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM) through in vivo and in vitro experiments and network pharmacology analysis. In vivo, a DCM rat model was established using a combination of "high-fat diet feeding + two low-dose streptozotocin(STZ) intraperitoneal injections". The rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal, model, FPS, and dapagliflozin(Dapa) groups.
