Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death that is characterized by the dysregulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, causing abnormal changes in hypochlorous acid (HClO) levels in lysosomes. Super-resolution imaging can observe the fine structure of the lysosome at the nanometer level; therefore, it can be used to detect lysosome HClO levels during ferroptosis at the suborganelle level. Herein, we utilize a ratiometric fluorescent probe, , for super-resolution imaging of lysosome HClO. Structured-illumination microscopy (SIM) improves the accuracy of lysosome targeting and enables the probe to be successfully applied to rapidly monitor the up-regulated lysosome HClO at the nanoscale during inflammation and ferroptosis. Importantly, the probe can also detect HClO changes in inflammatory and ferroptosis mice and evaluate the inhibitory effect of ferroptosis on mice tumors.

The creation of a singular fluorescent probe for the detection of various analytes is crucial for comprehending the interactions among analytes in living cells. This study presents a novel multifunctional fluorescent probe, designated Lyso-Nap-Py, which utilizes distinctive intramolecular NHNH hydrogen bonding for the simultaneous detection of hypochlorite and cyanides within living cells. This probe demonstrates the ability to detect cyanides and hypochlorite, offering advantages including high selectivity, fluorescence turn-off at 638 nm, a low limit of detection, and rapid response times.

Hypochlorous acid (HClO/ClO) is a common ROS that exhibits elevated activity levels in cancer cells. In this study, an ClO-triggered TADF probe, PTZ-MNI, was designed based on a naphthalimide core. PTZ-MNI self-assemble in aqueous environments, exhibiting significantly enhanced fluorescence that demonstrated typical aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence (AIDF) characteristics.

HClO is considered a potential contributing factor and biomarker of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Accurate monitoring of lysosomal HClO is important for further developing specific diagnostic and therapeutic schedules for IBD. However, only rare types of fluorescent probes have been reported for detecting HClO in IBD so far.

The combination of bio-imaging with photodynamic therapy (PDT) to accomplish theranostics is promising in cancer treatment. Three chitosan-naphthalimide probes were studied in this work. 4-(5-Bromothiophen-2-yl)-1,8-naphthalic anhydride was first synthesized, and then reacted with chitosan to obtain the macromolecules (CS-N-Br).

Heightened oxidative stress is the principal driver behind the altered metabolism of neurotransmitters within the brains of Parkinson's disease (PD). Hypochlorous acid (HClO), a variant of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays a crucial role in several lysosomal activities. An irregular concentration of HClO may result in significant molecular damage and contribute to the onset of neurodegenerative disorders.
