Synthesis and multiple STED imaging applications of four, red-emitting (610-670 nm), tetrazine-functionalized fluorescent probes (CBRD = Chemical Biology Research group Dye 1-4) with large Stokes-shift is presented. Present studies revealed the super-resolution microscopy applicability of the probes as demonstrated through bioorthogonal labeling scheme of cytoskeletal proteins actin and keratin-19, and mitochondrial protein TOMM20. Furthermore, super-resolved images of insulin receptors in live-cell bioorthogonal labeling schemes through a genetically encoded cyclooctynylated non-canonical amino acid are also presented. The large Stokes-shifts and the wide spectral bands of the probes enabled the use of two common depletion lasers (660 nm and 775 nm). The probes were also found suitable for super-resolution microscopy in combination with two-photon excitation (2P-STED) resulting in improved spatial resolution. One of the dyes was also used together with two commercial dyes in the three-color STED imaging of intracellular structures.

As a serine hydrolase synthesized by the liver, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an important biomarker in the clinical diagnosis of liver diseases. To track BChE activity in drug-induced liver injury, we designed a deep-red BChE-activatable fluorescent probe (CYL-BChE) with hemi-cyanine structure by using a cyclopropyl carbonyl group as a specific recognition moiety. Its near-infrared absorption wavelength (665 nm) and emission wavelength (762 nm) provide excellent tissue penetration capabilities, making it suitable for biological imaging.

Titanium disulfide quantum dots (TiSQDs) has garnered significant research interest due to its distinctive electronic and optical properties. However, the effectiveness of TiSQDs in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is influenced by various factors, including their size, morphology, monodispersity, tunable bandgap, Stokes shift and interfacial effects. In this study, we propose a systematic approach for the synthesis of TiSQDs with small size (3.

Detecting biothiols like glutathione (GSH), homocysteine (Hcy), and cysteine (Cys) is key to understanding their roles in health and disease. We developed BT-DNBS, a cyanine-based turn-on fluorescent probe with a dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) quencher group. Upon biothiol interaction, the quencher is cleaved, restoring fluorescence.

Mercury is one of the most hazardous heavy metals and is capable of biomagnification, thereby posing severe risks to ecosystems and human health. Therefore, selective, sensitive, and rapid detection of Hg in a wide range of samples is essential. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl) phenol-based fluorescent probe (PyS) and its potential as a fluorescent probe for detecting Hg ions in various real samples such as rice, garlic, shrimp, and root samples.

Heavy metal contamination and pesticide residues pose significant threats to human health and ecosystems. Despite its broad applications, fluorescence imaging technology often struggles in complex ecological and biological environments due to disadvantages of background autofluorescence and low quantum yield. This study introduced a near-infrared (NIR) multifunctional "off-on-off" isophorone-based fluorescent bio-probe, DHB, characterized by a high fluorescence quantum yield (10.
