“…We incorporated the phenylmercapto group into the meso position of the BODIPY core to construct fluorescent probe 82 (Figure20) [112] for the discrimination of GSH from Cys/Hcy.T he detection ability of probe 82 was similar to the before-mentioned of probe 72.T hen, we sought to examine the recognition/leaving group effect in as terically congested environment by using variousN -, O-, or S-aryl substituents with variable electronic naturesa sr ecognition groups,w hich were grafted to the meso position of the 1,3,5,7tetramethyl BODIPY dye to endow the leavinga bility ( Figure 20).

Fluorescent probes for biothiols have aroused increasing interest owing to their potential to enable better understanding of the diverse physiological and pathological processes related to the biothiol species. BODIPY fluorophores exhibit excellent optical properties, which can be readily tailored by introducing diverse functional units at various positions of the BODIPY core. In the present review, the development of fluorescent probes based on BODIPYs for the detection of biothiols are systematically summarized, with emphasis on the preferable detection of individual biothiols, as well as simultaneous discrimination among cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), reduced glutathione (GSH). In addition, organelle‐targeting probes for biothiols are also highlighted. The general design principles, various recognition mechanisms, and biological applications are elaboratively discussed, which could provide a useful reference to researchers worldwide interested in this area.

Rhodol‐based far‐red fluorescent probe for the detection of cysteine and homocysteine over glutathione

The simultaneous discrimination of cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) is of great importance due to their roles in biology and close link to many diseases, especially via the development of a far-red fluorescent probe that could be used for rapid, selective, and sensitive detection of all three. Herein, we report the characterization of a far-red fluorescent probe with turn-on fluorescence properties and visible color changes that could be used for the detection of cysteine and homocysteine over glutathione. In this study we found that the sensor could discriminate cysteine and homocysteine over glutathione within 20 min. Function of this probe was based on the conjugate addition-cyclization reaction and showed a low detection limit to cysteine and homocysteine. Upon the addition of cysteine and homocysteine, the absorption band at 592 nm rose gradually and fluorescence was detected at 645 nm. The color changed from colorless to blue and fluorescence changed from absent to strong red fluorescence, which could be differentiated by the naked eye. All these unique features make this probe particularly potentially favorable for use in cysteine/homocysteine sensing and bioimaging applications. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…For example, Cys and Hcy are the crucial biomolecules required for cellular growth in living organisms, and GSH is the most abundant biothiol to play a key role in redox homeostasis . For Cys, deficiency of this amino acid inside the body is associated with many diseases, such as slow growth, hair depigmentation, edema, lethargy, liver damage, loss of muscle and fat, skin lesions, and weakness . Abnormal levels of Hcy are related to disorders including cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease .…”

This study reports an activatable iridium(III) complex probe for phosphorescence/time‐gated luminescence detection of cysteine (Cys) in vitro and in vivo. The probe, [Ir(ppy)2(NTY‐bpy)](PF6) [ppy: 2‐phenylpyridine; NTY‐bpy: 4‐methyl‐4′‐(2‐nitrovinyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine], is developed by incorporating a strong electron‐withdrawing group, nitroolefin, into a bipyridine ligand of the IrIII complex. The luminescence of the probe is quenched owing to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process, but switched on by a specific recognition reaction between the probe and Cys. [Ir(ppy)2(NTY‐bpy)](PF6) shows high sensitivity and selectivity for Cys detection and good biocompatibility. The long‐lived emission of [Ir(ppy)2(NTY‐bpy)](PF6) allows time‐gated luminescence analysis of Cys in cells and human sera. These properties make it convenient for the phosphorescence and time‐gated luminescence imaging and flow cytometry analysis of Cys in live samples. The Cys images in cancer cells and inflamed macrophage cells reveal that [Ir(ppy)2(NTY‐bpy)](PF6) is distributed in mitochondria after cellular internalization. Visualizations and flow cytometry analysis of mitochondrial Cys levels and Cys‐mediated redox activities of live cells are achieved. By using [Ir(ppy)2(NTY‐bpy)](PF6) as a probe, in vivo sensing and imaging of Cys in D. magna, zebrafish, and mice are then demonstrated.
