The synthesis of functionalized naphthalimide (compound 1) and its application for the preparation of pH chemosensor was described. The fluorescence enhancement of compound 1 with the increase of hydrogen ion concentration is based on the hindering of photo-induced electron transfer (PET) from aliphatic amine group to the naphthalimide. The comparison of this method with some other fluorescence methods based on naphthalimide for the measurement of pH indicated that the method can be applied in aqueous solutions rather than organic solutions. The analytical performance characteristics of the proposed pH chemosensor were also investigated. The chemosensor can be applied to the determination of pH between 3.20 and 7.80. Common inorganic ions do not show obvious interference for pH measurements. Moreover, the response of the chemosensor for pH is fast (response time less than 3 min). In addition, the chemosensor has been used for determination of pH in urine samples with satisfactory results.

Golgi apparatus (GA) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are two of the interesting subcellular organelles that are critical for protein synthesis, folding, processing, post-translational modifications, and secretion. Consequently, dysregulation in GA and ER and cross-talk between them are implicated in numerous diseases including cancer. As a result, simultaneous visualization of the GA and ER in cancer cells is extremely crucial for developing cancer therapeutics.

Background: Precise intraoperative tumor delineation is essential for successful surgical outcomes. However, conventional methods are often incompetent to provide intraoperative guidance due to lack specificity and sensitivity. Recently fluorescence-guided surgery for tumors to delineate between cancerous and healthy tissues has attracted widespread attention.

Cofacial electron donor-acceptor dyads exhibiting through-space charge-transfer (TSCT) characteristics are widely employed in the development of optoelectronic functional materials. The flexible molecular frameworks between the electron donor and acceptor components allow dynamic modulation of electronic coupling, influenced by excited-state structural relaxation or intermolecular interactions, thereby affecting the charge-transfer (CT) dynamics and the emission properties of TSCT states. In this work, we examine the TSCT dynamic processes of two electron donor-acceptor dyads, CzPhNI and CzPhPI formed by ortho-substitution of phenyl linkage with V-shaped flexible TSCT structures using carbazole as donor and naphthalimide or phthalimide as acceptor.

Reductase expression is a potential indicator of cellular pathology. Single-detection systems for reductases have been developed, however, the development of dual-detection systems remain largely unexplored. We rationally designed a dual-lock fluorescent probe that exhibited a high signal-to-noise ratio with a fluorescence Off-On response exclusively for the simultaneous activity of two reductases, NTR and hNQO1, which are overexpressed in cancer hypoxia.

Metal aluminum ions and the antibiotic NOR have both benefited humanity and due to improper use, posed significant threats to the environment and human health. Although the correct and rational use of these substances is crucial, developing real-time, rapid, and highly sensitive detection of trace aluminum ions and NOR in the environment and organisms is more important for early diagnosis of potential related diseases. After several decades of development, fluorescence analysis has become a mainstream research method due to its ability to meet these requirements.
