Article Abstract

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. This reaction attenuates intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), inducing a significant blue shift from 562 nm to 446 nm, thereby enabling ratiometric detection with a large Stokes shift (138 nm). Demonstrates high sensitivity (LOD = 0.12 μM), excellent selectivity and rapid response (<15 min) towards O. Its excellent photostability and low cytotoxicity facilitated biological application, successfully enabling real-time live-cell imaging of PDT-induced endogenous O in both A549 lung cancer cells and NCM460 normal colon cells.

The antibiotic contamination in aquatic environments, particularly in aquaculture systems, poses substantial risks to ecological balance and human health. To address this issue, we engineered a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe utilizing dual-emission carbon dots (D-CDs) synthesized from sustainable biomass carrot and nitrogen-rich precursors (melamine and o-phenylenediamine) through an efficient one-pot hydrothermal approach. The D-CDs exhibited dual emission peaks at 425nm and 540 nm under 370nm excitation.
