β-d-Glucuronidase (GUS) plays a pivotal role in both clinical treatment assessment and environmental monitoring. Existing tools for GUS detection suffer from (1) poor continuity due to a gap between the optimal pH of the probes and the enzyme and (2) diffusion from the detection site due to lack of an anchoring structure. Here we report a novel GUS pH-matching and endoplasmic reticulum-anchoring strategy for GUS recognition. The new fluorescent probe tool was termed , which was designed and synthesized with β-d-glucuronic acid as the GUS-specific recognition site and 4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalimide as a fluorescence reporting group, with a p-toluene sulfonyl as an anchoring group. This probe enabled the continuous and anchored detection of GUS without pH-adjustment for the related assessment of common cancer cell lines and gut bacteria. The probe's properties are far superior to those of commonly used commercial molecules.

Precise surgical resection of prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant clinical challenge due to the impact of positive surgical margins on postoperative outcomes. Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) enables real-time tumor visualization using fluorescent probes. In this study, we synthesized and evaluated an indocyanine green (ICG)-based PSMA-targeted near-infrared probe, , for intraoperative imaging of PCa lesions.

The pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is a multifaceted process involving various mechanisms, with oxidative stress playing a crucial role in its development. Hypochlorite (HOCl) and cysteine (Cys) are indicators of oxidative stress in AKI pathophysiology, directly reflecting the degree of oxidative stress and disease severity. However, their exact mechanism of action in AKI pathophysiology remains unknown.

Two versatile yet simple methods, colorimetric and spectrofluorimetric, were utilized for the quantitation of nonchromophore neomycin using silver nanoparticles modified with fluorescein. Fluorescein was excited at 485 nm (emission at 515 nm); when it is deposited on the surface of silver nanoparticles, its fluorescence intensity at 515 nm is quenched. Neomycin restores the fluorescence level at 515 nm by displacing fluorescein from nanoparticle binding sites.

Based on nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped carbon dots (NP-CDs), a direct, quick, and selective sensing probe for fluorometric detection of rutin has been developed. Utilizing ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) as a carbon and nitrogen source and diammonium hydrogen phosphate (NH)HPO as a nitrogen and phosphorus source. The NP-CDs were synthesized in less than 3 min with a straightforward one-step microwave pyrolysis process with a high quantum yield (63.

2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT) derivatives with donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) structure have received extensive attention as a class of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) compounds in the fields of biochemistry and photochemistry. The effects of electron-donors (triphenylamine and anthracenyl), the position of substituents and solvent polarity on the fluorescence properties and ESIPT mechanisms of HBT derivatives were investigated through time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. Potential energy curves (PECs) and frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) reveal that the introduction of the triphenylamine group on the benzene ring enhances intramolecular HB, thereby benefiting the ESIPT process.
