A thiol-activated near-infrared fluorescent H2S donor for visualizing H2S release and its applications
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a critical endogenous signaling molecule, is involved in diverse physiological processes, and H2S donors have emerged as promising therapeutic agents. While organic donors address the uncontrolled release limitations of inorganic counterparts, most thiol-activated systems depend exclusively on cysteine (Cys), risking cellular thiol imbalance. To overcome this limitation, we developed AD-SH, a novel benzopyran salts-based NIR fluorescent H2S donor responsive to multiple biothiols. AD-SH exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity toward all intracellular biothiols (e.g., cysteine, glutathione, and homocysteine) without preferentially depleting a single Cys. Importantly, its near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence enables real-time tracking and visualization of H2S release. With excellent biocompatibility, photostability, and in vivo imaging performance in mice, AD-SH demonstrates its strong potential for live-cell imaging and dynamic H2S release tracking.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
