MitoAIE1 is a Fluorescent probe for mitochondrial viscosity detection. MitoAIE1 contains a pyridinium structural unit, which endows it with mitochondria-targeting specificity. The detection mechanism of this probe is based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE): in low-viscosity media such as PBS buffer, intramolecular rotation leads to non-radiative energy dissipation, resulting in only weak fluorescence; however, in high-viscosity environments such as the mitochondrial matrix or the vicinity of the inner mitochondrial membrane, such intramolecular motion is restricted, thereby significantly enhancing its fluorescent signal; in addition, this probe is not interfered by changes in microenvironment polarity and pH. Its emission wavelength is 625 nm, with absorption peaks at 325 nm and 450 nm; when transferred from low-viscosity PBS to high-viscosity 99% glycerol, its fluorescence intensity at 625 nm can be increased by 38-fold. It can be used to monitor changes in mitochondrial viscosity during processes such as Stauroporine (HY-15141)-induced apoptosis and starvation-induced mitophagy in live cells, and has good biocompatibility .

Tetraphenyl (p-O-C₆-Br) porphyrin is a brominated porphyrin derivative and catalyst. Tetraphenyl (p-O-C₆-Br) porphyrin catalyzes the cleavage of amide bonds and ester bonds in specific substrates. Tetraphenyl (p-O-C6-Br) porphyrin is applicable to research in the field of palladium catalysis .

DCA-Mln is a Fluorescent probe for ferric iron (Fe³⁺) detection. The probe works via an internal charge transfer (ICT) process from its diethylamino group to its dicyano group, which produces bright pink fluorescence in its unbound state; when Fe³⁺ is present, two molecules of DCA-Mln chelate with one Fe³⁺ ion, with one cyano group of each DCA-Mln participating in the complexation, and this binding triggers a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process that provides a nonradiative deactivation pathway, resulting in fluorescence quenching; additionally, the probe exhibits a visible color change from purple to peach pink upon Fe³⁺ binding, enabling dual-channel detection. The probe has an excitation wavelength of 570 nm and an emission wavelength of 670 nm, and it shows a rapid response, with fluorescence stabilizing within 15 seconds of Fe³⁺ addition. DCA-Mln is cell-membrane-permeable, nontoxic at the imaging concentration of 10 μM, and can be used for Fe³⁺ detection in actual water samples, Fe³⁺ imaging in living cells, and as an anti-counterfeiting ink[1].

Dansyl-morpholine (DNS-M) is a Fluorescent probe for lipid droplet imaging, cancer cell discrimination, and real-time tracking of lipid droplet dynamics. As a solvatochromic probe with a donor-π-acceptor structure, it relies on hydrophobic interaction for its mechanism of action: its good lipophilicity, confirmed by an oil-water partition coefficient LogP = 2.35, allows it to rapidly penetrate cell membranes, and it specifically localizes to the hydrophobic core of lipid droplets; its fluorescence is strongly enhanced in the nonpolar environment of lipid droplets, while it emits very weak fluorescence in polar environments like PBS buffer, and it exhibits a bathochromic shift in emission wavelength with increasing solvent polarity. It has negligible cytotoxicity, with cell viability remaining over 95% after 24-hour incubation with 100 μM of the probe, and it possesses excellent photostability, retaining over 97% of initial fluorescence intensity after 60 continuous laser scans. For cell imaging applications, its excitation/emission wavelengths for lipid droplet labeling are Ex/Em = 405/480−540 nm, and in a simulative lipid environment O/W emulsion, it has an excitation wavelength of ~346 nm and emission wavelength of ~500 nm, giving a Stokes shift of 154 nm[1].
