Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder that has a progression that is closely associated with oxidative stress. It has long been speculated that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in AD brains is much higher than that in healthy brains. However, evidence from living beings is scarce. Inspired by the “chemistry of glow stick,” we designed a near-IR fluorescence (NIRF) imaging probe, termed CRANAD-61, for sensing ROS to provide evidence at micro- and macrolevels. In CRANAD-61, an oxalate moiety was utilized to react with ROS and to consequentially produce wavelength shifting. Our in vitro data showed that CRANAD-61 was highly sensitive and rapidly responsive to various ROS. On reacting with ROS, its excitation and emission wavelengths significantly shifted to short wavelengths, and this shifting could be harnessed for dual-color two-photon imaging and transformative NIRF imaging. In this report, we showed that CRANAD-61 could be used to identify “active” amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) surrounded by high ROS levels with two-photon imaging (microlevel) and to provide relative total ROS concentrations in AD brains via whole-brain NIRF imaging (macrolevel). Lastly, we showed that age-related increases in ROS levels in AD brains could be monitored with our NIRF imaging method. We believe that our imaging with CRANAD-61 could provide evidence of ROS at micro- and macrolevels and could be used for monitoring ROS changes under various AD pathological conditions and during drug treatment.

As an important reactive oxygen species, hypochlorous acid (HClO) could irreversibly destroy Ca2+-ATPase to inhibit Ca2+ transport in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which may eventually lead to cell dysfunction and cell death.

Rhodamine B thiohydrazide (RBS) was firstly employed as turn-on fluorescent probe for hypochlorite in aqueous solution and living cells. It exhibits a stable response to hypochlorite from 1.0×10-6to 1.0×10-5M with a detection limit of 3.3×10-7M. The response of this probe to hypochlorite is fast and highly selective compared with other reactive oxygen species (such as.OH,1O2, H2O2) and other common anions (such as X-, ClO2-, ClO4-, NO3-, NO2-, OH-, Ac-, CO32-, SO42-).
