Current clinical indicators for assessing liver/kidney injury are functional rather than injury indicators, which may cause some delays in the diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and kidney injury (DIKI). Therefore, the development of noninvasive and real-time methods for the effective diagnosis of DILI/DIKI is of great benefit to their clinical management. Herein, we constructed a dicyanoisophorone-based near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (PNDP). Upon the addition of ONOO, the probe exhibits 111.4-fold fluorescence enhancement at 665 nm with a large Stokes shift of 175 nm as well as excellent selectivity, strong anti-interference capability, and a low limit of detection (118.9 nmol L). More significantly, the PNDP was successfully employed for the sensitive detection of ONOO in living cells and DILI/DIKI mice models. and bioimaging experiments demonstrated that the PNDP has greater versatility and promising potential for use as a diagnostic agent for the diagnosis of drug-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity by monitoring ONOO fluctuations.

Ulcerative colitis (UC), often referred to as "green cancer", is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with an unclear etiology, closely associated with the imbalance of hydrogen sulfide (HS) and peroxynitrite (ONOO). HS exhibits anti-inflammatory effects at physiological levels, but excessive concentrations can compromise the intestinal barrier, while ONOO aggravates inflammation. To facilitate the molecular-level monitoring of these compounds in UC, we developed a novel fluorescent probe, , capable of simultaneously detecting HS and ONOO via distinct fluorescent channels in a cascade mode.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy (ER-phagy) occurring in nerve cells are crucial physiological processes closely associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Visualizing the two processes is paramount to advance our understanding of AD pathologies. Among the biomarkers identified, peroxynitrite (ONOO) emerges as a key molecule in the initiation and aggravation of ER stress and ER-phagy, highlighting its significance in the underlying mechanisms of the two processes.

pH and peroxynitrite (ONOO) are two critical biomarkers to unveil the corresponding status of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, which are closely related to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Simultaneously monitoring pH and ONOO fluctuations in the ER and mitochondria during AD progression is pivotal for clarifying the interplay between the disorders of the two organelles and revealing AD pathogenesis. Herein, we designed and synthesized a dual-channel fluorescent probe (DCFP) to visualize pH and ONOO in the ER and mitochondria.

Peroxynitrite (ONOO) and viscosity are critical indicators of lysosome functionality, intimately linked to numerous diseases' pathophysiological processes. Hence, creating reliable analytical techniques to observe fluctuations in lysosomal ONOO and viscosity is highly important. This study presents the development of a novel naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe, Nap-Cy, specifically designed to target lysosomes and simultaneously detect both ONOO and viscosity.

Abnormal fluctuations in blood biomarker levels serve as critical indicators of the disease. However, detecting endogenous substances in whole blood using fluorescent probes is challenging due to its complex composition. This challenge primarily arises from two factors: the high autofluorescence of whole blood and the intrinsic fluorescence of the probe, both contributing to significant background fluorescence in the detection system.
