Recently, the development of a novel fluorescent (FL) nanoprobe for ratiometric detection of antibiotics in real-world samples has received more and more attention. In this article, the distinctive optical properties of deep-ultraviolet emission, a narrowed full width at half maximum (∼20 nm) and excitation-independent emission of a carbonized nanoprobe (CNP) were easily prepared by an environmentally friendly approach of solvothermal treatment using melamine as the precursor and HO as the solvent. The obtained CNP can be further utilized as an efficient ratiometric FL nanoprobe for enrofloxacin (EFC) and feroxacin (FXC) detection based on the fact that the FL quenching of the CNP was accompanied by an FL increase with EFC/FXC based on the inner filter effect (IFE). Under the optimal conditions, excellent linear relationships existed between the relative FL intensity (FL/FL, CNP for FL and antibiotics for FL) and the concentrations of FXC and EFC in the range of 0.05-500.0 μM and 0.05-200.0 μM, with limits of detection of 21.74 and 22.43 nM (3σ/k), respectively. With the proposed ratiometric FL sensor, FXC and EFC in milk and serum samples can be rapidly and selectively analyzed without tedious pretreatment processes for real-world samples.

Glutathione (GSH) is a key biomarker closely associated with cancer, and its content varies greatly between normal cells and cancer cells. However, intracellular detection of GSH was challenging because existing probes not only have a long detection time but also have fluorescence in the blue-green region that overlaps with the biological matrix's spontaneous fluorescence, thus affecting the detection accuracy. Therefore, a new red fluorescent nano-probe was needed to rapidly and accurately detected GSH within the biological matrix.

Developing near-infrared fluorescent probes for simultaneous tracking of lipid droplets (LDs) and lysosomes is highly desirable for studying cell metabolism. In this work, deep-red/near-infrared dual-emission carbonized polymer dots (DN-CPDs) were prepared for ratiometric monitoring of the intracellular polarity. Detailed structural analysis revealed that the deep-red emission and near-infrared peak of DN-CPDs originate from the molecular state and surface state, respectively.

The prevention and treatment of hypobaric hypoxia brain injury (HHBI) remains an unprecedented challenge due to the complex oxidative stress response at the damage site. In this study, RuCO phthalocyanine compound (RuPc) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were self-assembled to obtain RuPc-BSA nanoparticles for HHBI therapy. As a nanoprobe carrying and storing carbon monoxide (CO), RuPc-BSA delivers CO to pathologically damaged areas of the brain.

Creating an analytical probe to track extremely mutagenic picric acid (PA) is essential for human health and the environment. Here, we developed a straightforward and quick fluorescence analytical method utilizing 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (3-APTMS)-functionalized curcumin carbon quantum dots (CQDs) for the fast and selective detection of PA. Solvothermal carbonization and functionalization of curcumin with 3-APTMS were used to create multifunctional CQDs, which were then characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ζ-potential, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
