Article Abstract

The physiological and pathological processes of many diseases are influenced by hydrogen sulfide (HS), a physiologically active gaseous signaling molecule. Near-infrared fluorescent (NIR) probes are valued for their high specificity, sensitivity, simplicity, and safety. A near-infrared fluorescent probe (TPNPs), sensitive to HS, was designed and synthesized from 4-(10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin-5-yl)phenol (TPP-OH). Due to the creation of hydroxyl groups from ether thiolation, it was discovered that NaS treatment of TPNPs with NaS as the HS donor produced a large "turn-on" near-infrared fluorescence response. Additionally, the fluorescence intensity of TPNPs at 650 nm was significantly enhanced with the increase of NaS content. The fluorescence intensity of TPNPs at 650 nm showed a strong linear relationship with NaS concentration within the concentration range of 0-50 μM, with a detection limit of 0.88 μM. Furthermore, TPNPs were effectively used to investigate exogenous and endogenous HS in mice and live cells.

The dynamic monitoring of cell death processes remains a significant challenge due to the scarcity of highly sensitive molecular tools. In this study, two hemicyanine-based probes (5a-5b) with D-π-A structures were developed for organelle-specific viscosity monitoring. Both probes exhibited correlation with the Förster-Hoffmann viscosity-dependent relationship (R > 0.

Fruit and fruit-based products are a valuable source of essential nutrients, critical for food security, and drive economic productivity with minimal inputs. The significant rise in global demand for high-quality imported fruit and fruit-based products reflects a shift in consumer awareness and interest in the products origin and potential health-promoting bioactive compounds. Analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, inductively coupled plasma techniques, isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, visible near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging (HSI), mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, dielectric spectroscopy, electronic nose (e-nose), and electronic tongue (e-tongue) coupled with supervised and unsupervised chemometrics can be employed for traceability, authentication, and bioactive profiling of fruit and fruit-based products.

Real-time monitoring of senescent cells is of great significance for understanding and intervening in aging. Since overexpression of endogenous β-galactosidase (β-gal) is not unique to senescent cells, probes relying solely on β-gal activity could yield inaccurate senescent cell detection. Herein, we designed a dual-mode sequential response AND logic NIR probe MFB-βgal, which contains a β-gal-cleavable unit and a morpholine unit, serving as an enzymatic activity trigger and a lysosomal targeting moiety, respectively.

Multimodal phototheranostics has been recognized as one of the most momentous advances in cancer treatment. Of particular interest is a single molecular species simultaneously featuring in multiple imaging and synergistic phototherapies; the development of such a molecular species is nevertheless a formidably challenging task. Herein, we innovatively designed and synthesized three aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active molecules with emission in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window, by employing 10-indeno[1,2-][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-]quinoxalin-10-one as the electron acceptor, 4-(-butyl)--(4-(-butyl)phenyl)--phenylaniline as the electron donor, and different π-bridge moieties.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a critical biomolecule in cellular energy metabolism, with abnormal levels in the bloodstream linked to pathological conditions such as ischemia, cancer, and inflammatory disorders. Accurate and real-time detection of ATP is essential for early diagnosis and disease monitoring. However, conventional biochemical assays and other techniques suffer from limitations, including invasive sample collection, time-consuming procedures, and the inability to provide dynamic, monitoring.
