Peroxynitrite (ONOO), a highly reactive oxygen species generated by the reaction of nitric oxide and superoxide radical anion, is involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes in the human body. To identify important pathogenic mechanisms, it is crucial to develop a reliable tool for detecting peroxynitrite in living systems. In the present study, a new difluoroboron β-diketonate-based fluorescent probe for detecting exogenous and endogenous peroxynitrite in living systems was designed. The red emitting fluorophore can be synthesized in a simple three-step procedure. This probe reacts quickly and selectively with peroxynitrite and its detection limit is determined to be as low as 19.8 nM. It allows for clear imaging of peroxynitrite in RAW 264.7 cells and was successfully applied to visualize changes of intracellular peroxynitrite induced by reactive oxygen species inhibitors. This designed probe is an effective tool for investigating the physiological and pathological role of peroxynitrite in living cells.

Quenching peroxynitrite (a reactive oxidant species) is a vital process in biological systems and environmental chemistry as it maintains redox balance and mitigates damaging effects in living cells and the environment. In this study, we report a systematic analysis of the mechanism of transforming peroxynitrite into nitrate using diaryl selenide in water. Through quantum mechanical calculations, we investigate the dynamic isomerization of peroxynitrite in a homogeneous catalytic environment.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a dual role in the chemotherapy of cancer with cisplatin, providing both anti-tumor effects and contributing to drug resistance at various stages of treatment which seriously affects treatment effectiveness. The detailed mechanism of ROS is urgently necessary to be explored. To address this issue in the non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with cisplatin-resistance, a reliable assay was developed by synthesizing and characterizing an interesting near-infrared (NIR) ONOO probe BPB with high specificity, quick response (<30 s) and excellent limitation of detection (59 nM), which was further convinced through living cell imaging techniques providing different fluorescence variation between cell and cuvette.

Peroxynitrite (ONOO) is a bioactive molecule involved in various biochemical processes, and the abnormal concentration fluctuations of ONOO in living systems are closely associated with various diseases, including cancer. An important characteristic of the tumor microenvironment is the overexpression of ONOO, highlighting the significance of specific detection of ONOO in distinguishing between tumor tissue and normal tissue. A single near-infrared second window (NIR-II) molecular probe integrated fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy can achieve precise localization and effective ablation of deep-seated tumor tissue.
