A new family of BODIPY analogues (BDB1-8) derived from benzothiazole-pyrimidine-based bidentate ligands was synthesized and fully characterized. The photophysical properties of these boron complexes were measured both in solution and solid-state. These new luminophores exhibited intense fluorescence with high quantum yields ranging from 0.27 to 0.79, and moderate Stokes shifts ranging from 660 to 2120 cm in solution. Due to the existence of strong intermolecular interactions, BDB1-8 showed quenched fluorescence with low quantum yields ranging from 0.03 to 0.20 in solid-state. In addition, BDB1 and BDB2 were capable of sensing cysteine in aqueous solution with high selectivity and sensitivity, which means that these complexes hold great potential in serving as fluorogenic cysteine sensors for biological application.

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is the pivotal catabolic enzyme responsible for signal termination in the endocannabinoid system. Inhibition of MAGL offers unique advantages over the direct activation of cannabinoid receptors in treating cancer, metabolic disorders, and inflammatory diseases. Although specific fluorescent molecular imaging probes are commonly used for the real-time analysis of the localization and distribution of drug targets in cells, they are almost invariably composed of a linker connecting the pharmacophore with a large fluorophore.

The intramuscular fat (IMF) content of yak beef is critical for determining its quality. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a group of endogenous non-coding RNAs that have emerged as important factors in the regulation of IMF deposition. However, the molecular mechanisms through which circRNAs regulate IMF deposition, particularly in yaks, remain unclear.

We found that the antimalarial medication mefloquine (MFQ) permeabilized the bacterial cell membrane of , decreased membrane fluidity, and caused physical injury to the membrane. MFQ also maintained activity across different pH conditions (pH range: 5-8).
