Peroxynitrite (ONOO) plays important roles in the progression of important disease such as inflammation, cancer, and diabetes, which made it an attractable target for biosensor development. However, to detect ONOO solely is highly dependent on the sensitivity of the detection method and may be disturbed by unwillingly false-positive signal. Cellular viscosity is an important microenvironmental parameter and its abnormal changes are closely related to diseases such as diabetes and cancer. In this case, to construct a "dual-locked" molecular tool for both ONOO and viscosity sensing and to evaluate the performance of such strategy in disease diagnosis is of great importance. We herein firstly reported the construction of a novel "dual-locked" probe DCI-OV which showed capability for simultaneous measuring ONOO concentration and system viscosity with high sensitivity (LOD = 4.7 nM) and high specificity. Moreover, both exogenous and low level of endogenous ONOO in living cells could be detected using DCI-OV due to viscosity amplified signal. Furthermore, cancer cells and insulin-resistant cells could be easily distinguished using DCI-OV. By taking advantage of the "dual-locked" sensing strategy, a total of 85 samples of human serum were screened using DCI-OV based rapid disease screening method and it was capable of differentiated and subdivided patients into specific type of disease, indicating the great potential of application of DCI-OV into clinical related disease diagnosis.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a crucial factor that poses a significant threat to human health. DILI process leads to the changes of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species content in cells, which leads to oxidative and nitrosative stress in cells. However, the high reactivity of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻), combined with a lack of in situ imaging techniques, has hindered a detailed understanding of their roles in DILI.

Strategies allowing tumor-selective siRNA delivery while minimizing off-tumor gene silencing effects are highly demanded to advance cancer gene therapy, which however still remain challenging. We herein report a dual-locking bioconjugation approach to address this challenge. A dual-locked cyclopeptide-siRNA conjugate (DPRC) was designed to simultaneously endow siRNA with tumor-targeting properties and tumor-biomarker/visible-light dually controllable action.

Fluorescence probes with outstanding merits have wide applications in tumor diagnosis. However, most of these probes can only detect single tumor biomarker, potentially generating "false positive" signals within intricate biological systems. In contrast, the dual-locked fluorescent probes triggered by two response factors can effectively address the aforementioned limitations.

The development of precise diagnosis and the discovery of individualized drugs go together to provide effective therapy against inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The exploitation of the unique imaging advantages of chemiluminescent probes represents a pivotal strategy for achieving this goal. Nevertheless, the dual-locked strategy, which is believed to enhance precision, is rarely employed in the design of chemiluminescent probes.

Amonafide (ANF), a topoisomerase II inhibitor and DNA intercalator, has exhibited promise in phase II trials but faces significant limitations due to adverse side effects. Here, we have developed a novel enzyme-triggered fluorogenic prodrug, AcKLP, that incorporates dual-locked enzyme activation, ensuring that the prodrug remains inactive until it confronts the unique enzymatic environment of glioblastoma cells. This approach minimizes premature activation and reduces toxicity to normal cells, with an IC > 100 μM for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and ∼2.
