The unbalanced metabolism of sulfur dioxide can cause various diseases, such as neurological disorders and lung cancer. Until now, some researches revealed that the normal function of lysosomes would be disrupted by its abnormal viscosity. As a signal molecule, sulfur dioxide (SO) plays an important role in lysosome metabolism. However, the connection of metabolism between the SO and viscosity in lysosomes is still unknown. Herein, we developed a benzothiazole-based near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (Triph-SZ), which can monitor the SO derivatives and respond to the change of viscosity in lysosomes through two-photon imaging. Triph-SZ present high sensitivity and selectivity fluorescence response with the addition of SO derivatives based on the nucleophilic addition, and it also exhibits a sensitive fluorescence enhancement to environmental viscosity, which allows Triph-SZ to be employed to monitor the level of HSO and viscosity changes in lysosomes by the two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy.

Superoxide anion (O), the first generated reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a critical player in cellular signaling network and redox homeostasis. Imaging of O, particularly in vivo, is of concern for further understanding its roles in pathophysiological and pharmacological events. Herein, we designed a novel probe, (E)-4-(5-(2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-cyanovinyl)furan-2-yl)phenyl trifluoromethane-sulfonate (BFTF), by modifying hydroxyphenyl benzothiazole (a widely used dye scaffold) which includes insertion of both an acrylonitrile unit and a furan ring to extend the total π-conjugation system and to enhance push-pull intramolecular charge transfer process, and utilization of trifluoromethanesulfonate as the response unit.

A benzothiazole-based near-infrared (NIR) ratiometric fluorescent probe () was developed for discriminating cysteine (Cys) from homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). The probe was designed by masking phenol group in the conjugated benzothiazole derivative with methacrylate group that could be selectively removed by Cys, and therefore an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) fluorescence was switched on in the NIR region. In the absence of Cys, the probe exhibited a strong blue fluorescence emission at 431 nm, whereas a NIR fluorescence emission at 710 nm was significantly enhanced accompanied by a decrease of emission at 431 nm in the presence of Cys, allowing a ratiometric fluorescence detection of Cys.
