A dual functional ratiometric fluorescent probe can obviously distinguish acidity, nitroreductase, and nitroreductase in an acidic environment. Confocal fluorescence imaging of A549 cells indicates the probe can detect acidity and expressed nitroreductase in living cells.

A new green-emitting fluorescent probe 1 was developed for biothiol detection. The sensing mechanism was considered to be biothiol-induced cleavage of the 2,4-dinitrobenzene- sulfonate group in probe 1 and resulting inhibition of the probe’s photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process. Probe 1 exhibited favorable properties such as excellent selectivity, highly sensitive (0.12 µM), large Stokes shift (117 nm) and a remarkable turn-on fluorescence signal (148-fold). Furthermore, confocal fluorescence imaging indicated that probe 1 was membrane-permeable and suitable for visualization of biothiols in living A549 cells.

<p>We report a chemical probe that can be used to image integrins in living cells. The fluorescent probe was derived from cyclo-RGDf(Me-V), a compound selective for integrins that possess an RGD-binding domain. We describe its synthesis and we demonstrate its use to detect integrin αVβ5 in cells. The probe’s dissociation constant for the integrin αVβ5 protein is 0.18 μM. The probe's activity was validated in murine BV-2 microglial cells using cell engulfment assays, flow cytometry, and confocal fluorescence imaging. This probe will provide access to spatiotemporally resolved studies of RGD-binding integrin function in living cells without the need for genetic modification.</p>

We have developed a new small-molecule based, mitochondrial-targeted ratiometric fluorescent palladium(ii) probe (CR-Pd). Fluorescence imaging shows that CR-Pd is suitable for the ratiometric visualization of palladium(ii) in living cells.

We have developed the first small-molecule based, lysosomal-targeted ratiometric fluorescent HClO probe (Lyso-HA). Fluorescence imaging shows that it is suitable for ratiometric visualization of exogenous and endogenous HClO at lysosomes in living cells.
