Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a significant gasotransmitter. A deficiency in H2S might contribute to some serious diseases. The development of H2S drugs has received a great deal of attention. There is a pressing need for an effective method to evaluate H2S release efficiency, especially in in vivo evaluation. In this study, a highly sensitive and selective near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent chemodosimeter (NRh-N3) was synthesized for detecting H2S. Importantly, NRh-N3 was shown to be capable of visually monitoring H2S-release from the prodrug in vitro and in vivo.

Reaction-based fluorogenic sensing of lethal cyanide anions in aqueous matrices remains a big challenge. We have revisited the reported approach about an intramolecular crossed-benzoin reaction leading to the release of a phenol-based fluorophore. Fluorescence assays and RP-HPLC-MS analyses have helped us to highlight its limitations related to poor aqueous stability of probes and impossibility to achieve molecular amplification despite the assumed catalytic activation mechanism.

Article Synopsis
  • Fluoride is crucial for dental health at specific concentrations (0.7-1.2 ppm) but can be harmful in excess, leading to various health issues, highlighting the need for effective detection methods in water.
  • The study introduces a new chemodosimeter, HIPS-Br, designed to specifically detect fluoride ions using a fluorescence-based method, which shows a strong orange emission in the presence of fluoride.
  • HIPS-Br demonstrates high selectivity for fluoride ions over other substances, with a low detection limit of 1.2 ppb, and proves effective in analyzing fluoride levels in real samples, such as water and toothpaste, as well as in on-site applications using silica-coated TLC plates.

A new chemodosimeter SWJT-31 with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect was designed and constructed. Upon increasing the water fraction in the solution, it exhibited typical AIE, which showed bright red fluorescence at 610 nm. SWJT-31 could sensitively and specifically recognize hydrazine by the TICT effect with an LOD of 33.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive sulfur species (RSS), metal ions, and nitrogen species (RNS) play important roles in a variety of biological processes, such as a signal transduction, inflammation, and neurodegenerative damage. These species, while essential for certain functions, can also induce stress-related diseases. The interrelation between ROS, RSS, Metal ions and RNS underscores the importance of quantifying their concentrations in live cells, tissues, and organisms.
