AI Article Synopsis
- Various biomarkers, especially proteins, are crucial for maintaining biochemical processes, and their imbalance can lead to diseases like Cancer and Alzheimer's.
- Timely detection of disease-related biomarkers is essential, and ideal probes for their detection should be specific, robust, and responsive to stimuli, with fluorescent probes being a promising option.
- Challenges like aggregation-caused quenching and photostability issues in fluorescent probes can be mitigated by using aggregation-induced emissive (AIE) probes, which offer improved sensitivity and stability, making them suitable for sensing and imaging disease biomarkers.
Article Abstract
Various biomarkers such as proteins play key roles in controlling crucial biochemical processes. The critical concentration of the biomarkers is important to maintain a healthy life. In fact, imbalance in concentration or irregular activity of these can lead to various diseases like Cancer, Alzheimer's etc. Therefore, the disease related biomarkers and their timely detection are key to control the illness. In the literature, a few activity-based probes for the detection of such biomarkers are available. As per the requirement an ideal probe should be very specific to recognize the target analyte and that could be achieved by virtue of having a robust structure and stimuli responsive nature. In this regard, several fluorescent probes are of great choice. Although these fluorescent probes face certain challenges such as aggregation caused quenching, which heavily affects the sensitivity and photostability is another major concern for many fluorescent probes. To overcome these challenges aggregation-induced emissive fluorescent probes found to be an excellent alternative. Aggregation induced emissive luminogens (AIEgens) offer higher signal to noise ratios and found to possess better photostability during sensing and imaging. In the present review we have summarized the development of AIEgenic probes for sensing and imaging of disease related biomarkers. We believe this review could be a guide to design efficient AIEgenic probes for the diagnostics development.

The accurate and sensitive quantification of hydroxyl radical (·OH) and glucose is necessary for disease diagnosis and health guidance, but still challenging owing to the low concentration of ·OH and poor water solubility of fluorescent probes. In addition, fluorescent probes may cause secondary pollution to the environment. Here an organic cage was reported as a sensitive fluorescent probe for ·OH and glucose in aqueous solution without serious secondary pollution.

A molecular beacon is an oligonucleotide hybridization probe that can report the presence of specific nucleic acids in homogeneous solutions. Using an aptamer has allowed an aptamer-based molecular beacon-aptamer beacon to be developed, which has shown advantages of simplicity, rapidity, and sensitivity in imaging and sensing non-nucleic acid substances. However, due to requirement for a deliberate DNA hairpin structure for the preparation of a molecular beacon, not any given aptamer is suitable for designing an aptamer beacon probe.

During the process of developing smart chiroptical luminophores, small chiral organic dyes have emerged as candidates of utmost importance. In this regard, the chiral variants of boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) serve as suitable molecules owing to their excellent photophysical properties such as high fluorescence quantum yields, narrow emission bandwidths with high peak intensities, high photo and chemical stability, and higher molar extinction coefficients. Thus, the last decade observed an influx of research from various research groups for the induction of chirality in originally achiral BODIPY.
