Benzopyrylium dye BDBP was found to be an effective uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. It stimulates state 4 respiration of mitochondria 2-fold at about 2 microM, reveals a maximum stimulation (8-fold) at 30 microM and inhibits the respiration at higher concentrations. BDBP is also an effective proton (hydroxyl) carrier through bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) as is seen from the electrical properties of BLM with BDBP. Picrate enhances the effects of BDBP on the mitochondrial respiration and BLM conductance. The BDBP activities are accounted for by formation of dimers and complexes with picrate.

Mitochondrial sulfur dioxide (SO) plays a double-edged role in cells, and the real-time and tracing of its dynamic behaviors to elucidate its complicated functions in detail is of great significance. Here, we developed a simple mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe ZW for tracing SO with good membrane permeability. In probe ZW, the 1-phenylpyrrolidine-decorated benzopyrylium unit is employed as the selective response site for SO.

The developed multifunctional fluorescent probe enables the simultaneous detection of chymotrypsin as a model protease and hydrogen peroxide as a representative of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in biologically relevant concentration ranges. The chymotrypsin sensing is based on the cleavage of its selectively recognizable peptide sequence and the consequent disruption of FRET between coumarin (DEAC) and fluorescein (FL). Analogously, the presence of hydrogen peroxide causes the gradual degradation of the HO-labile benzopyrylium-coumarin (BC) dye.

Sulfur dioxide (SO) and its derivatives (SO and HSO), are important active sulfur species that play significant roles in physiological processes. Fluorescence probe imaging technology, due to its high temporal and spatial resolution, real-time non-invasive and non-destructive detection, has emerged as a valuable tool for studying SO in biological systems. In this study, we presented a colorimetric fluorescent probe for the detection of HSO.

A mitochondria-targeted NIR probe based on the FRET mechanism was developed. It shows ultra-large Stokes shifts (460 nm) and emission shifts (285 nm). Furthermore, we also realized the imaging of SO in living SKOV-3 cells, zebrafish and living mice which may be useful for understanding the biological roles of SO in mitochondria and in vivo.

Biothiols and hydrogen sulfide, as critical sulfur-containing reactive substances, serve essential functions in various human pathological processes, making it challenging to simultaneously distinguish them due to their similar reactivity and structures (-SH). Here, we rationalized the development of a single-wavelength excitation near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe, FC-NBD, for distinguishing GSH/HS and Cys/Hcy by separated fluorescence dual channels. In this probe, FC-NBD, composed of coumarin-benzopyrylium derivatives linked with nitro benzoxadiazole (NBD) via ether bonds, could quantitatively and selectively distinguish GSH/HS and Cys/Hcy with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.
