Molecular Probes, Chemosensors, and Nanosensors for Optical Detection of Biorelevant Molecules and Ions in Aqueous Media and Biofluids

Joana Kraemer et al.

Summary: Combining synthetic molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors with innovative assay protocols can lead to the development of robust, low-cost, and fast-responding sensors applicable in biofluids. This review focuses on the development of sensors for metabolites, neurotransmitters, drugs, and inorganic ions, and the monitoring and analysis of metabolic and signaling networks in cells and organisms. The review highlights the potential applications of sensing systems that provide optical signals through dynamic covalent chemistry, supramolecular host-guest interactions, or plasmonic effects, and also encourages the development of more advanced systems.

Photoswitchable Pseudoirreversible Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitors Allow Optical Control of Inhibition in Vitro and Enable Restoration of Cognition in an Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model upon Irradiation

Matthias Scheiner et al.

Summary: Selective and pseudoirreversible photoswitchable BChE inhibitors were synthesized to investigate their biological functions and the mechanisms by which they affect Alzheimer's disease. One of the compounds showed significant differences in activity both in vitro and in vivo, and exhibited complete recovery in a murine cognition-deficit AD model.

Optical Control of Cannabinoid Receptor 2-Mediated Ca2+ Release Enabled by Synthesis of Photoswitchable Probes

Roman C. Sarott et al.

Summary: CB2 receptor is a promising target for treating neuroinflammation and other diseases, but the lack of understanding of its complex signaling complicates therapeutic exploitation. A study demonstrates how the CB2 agonist HU308 affects cytosolic Ca2+ levels in cells and tissues, and shows the utility of chemical photoswitches for real-time control and monitoring of CB2 signaling.

Photo-Rimonabant: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Photoswitchable Molecules Derived from Rimonabant Lead to a Highly Selective and Nanomolar Cis-On CB1R Antagonist

Diego A. Rodriguez-Soacha et al.

Summary: The study describes the design and synthesis of photo-rimonabant, azo-derivatives of the selective hCB(1)R antagonist SR1411716A, which showed marked affinity for CB1R and increased potency under ultraviolet light. Through various assays, it was established that compound 16a is highly selective for hCB(1)R over hCB(2)R, making it a valuable molecular tool for optical modulation of CBRs and enhancing the understanding of disorders related to the endocannabinoid system.

Rational Remodeling of Atypical Scaffolds for the Design of Photoswitchable Cannabinoid Receptor Tools

Tao Hu et al.

Summary: The study investigates the rational remodeling of atypical scaffolds for introducing azobenzene in the development of photoswitchable ligands for the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2). By optimizing spacer length and attachment position, AzoLig 9 exhibits excellent thermal bistability, decent photopharmacological switchability between configurations, and high subtype selectivity. This structure-guided approach provides new impetus for expanding chemical spaces for customization in diverse photopharmacological studies and beyond.
