In the present work, we report compilation and analysis of 245 drugs, including small and
macromolecules approved by the US FDA from 2015 until June 2020. Nearly 29% of the …

Coumarin-based fluorogenic probes have emerged as preferred imaging tools to real-time
and non-invasively monitor target analyte (s) in biological systems, due to their inherent …

Often stoichiometric amounts of gold find use in materials science; occasionally gold is even
used as a support. This review discusses the contributions of gold catalysis, both …

Fluorescent small molecules are powerful tools for visualizing biological events, embodying
an essential facet of chemical biology. Since the discovery of the first organic fluorophore …

Fluorescent dyes have enabled much progress in the broad range of biomedical fields.
However, many commercially available dyes suffer from small Stokes shifts, resulting in poor …

Generally, carbon nanoparticles with a size of 10 nm (or less) are called carbon quantum
dots (CQDs, C-dots or CD), which have created huge excitement due to their advantages in …

Illumination of biological events with near‐infrared II sub‐channel (NIR‐IIb, 1500–1700 nm)
enhances the transparency of biological tissues, which is very attractive for deep imaging …

As a new class of luminescent nanomaterials, carbon dots (CDs) have aroused significant
interest because of their fascinating photoluminescence properties and potential …

Metal‐free organic molecules with structurally diverse aggregation‐induced emission (AIE)
behavior and new functional photophysical properties reveal unique structure–property …

Indolizine (pyrrolo [1, 2-a] pyridine) is one of the five isomers of indole and it serves as a
precursor for widespread indolizidine alkaloids. The straightforward synthesis of indolizines …
