Mitochondria, as essential and interesting organelles within the eukaryotic cells, play key roles in a variety of pathologies, and its abnormalities are closely associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other diseases. Studies have shown that the abnormal of viscosity and concentration of hydrogen peroxide in mitochondria were all associated with AD. Accordingly, the detection of viscosity and hydrogen peroxide in mitochondria has attracted great attention. However, it remains a great challenge to explore a single probe, which can dual-detect the viscosity and HO in mitochondria. Herein, in two ways to prevent the twisted internal charge transfer (TICT) process, we designed and sythesized the first dual-detection fluorescent probe Mito-VH that can visualize viscosity and HO in mitochondria with different fluorescence signals in living cells.

Abnormal mitochondrial viscosity is closely associated with a wide range of diseases and cellular dysfunction. It is crucial to develop fluorescent probes for precisely monitoring changes of mitochondrial viscosity in the detection and treatment of associated diseases. However, mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probes currently faced off-target problems because their high water-solubility could hinder the accurate detection of mitochondrial viscosity.

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent programmed cell death mechanism, is mediated by distinct molecular pathways of lipid peroxidation caused by intracellular iron supplementation and glutathione synthesis inhibition that cause oxidative damage to the cell membrane. Monitoring viscosity changes of mitochondria is essential for a deeper understanding of ferroptosis, as mitochondria will be shrunk with increased membrane density and leading to drastic mitochondrial viscous changes during ferroptosis process. Thus, it is essential to explore novel and efficient fluorescent probes for monitoring viscosity in organisms.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has emerged as among of the undesirable drug effects, posing significant threats to human health. However, in clinical practice, there remains a shortage of dependable and pre-diagnosis tools for DILI. Numerous studies indicated that the elevated intrahepatic viscosity levels were closely linked to the onset and progression of DILI.

Viscosity is a crucial indicator of the flow state of proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides in the cell microenvironment and plays a vital role in maintaining normal cellular activities. Abnormal viscosity in any part of the cell constituents can lead to various diseases in the organism. For instance, abnormal mitochondrial viscosity can lead to diseases, such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease.
