Neurological disorders are closely linked to the alterations in cell membrane permeability (CMP) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Changes in CMP and MMP may lead to damage and death of nerve cells, thus triggering the onset and progression of neurological diseases. Therefore, monitoring the changes of these two physiological parameters not only benefits the accurate assessment of nerve cell health status, but also enables providing key information for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. However, the simultaneous monitoring of these two cellular physiological parameters is still challenging. Herein, we design and synthesize two quinolinium-carbazole-derivated fluorescent probes (OQ and PQ). As isomers, the only difference in their chemical structures is the linking position of the carbazole unit in quinoline rings. Strikingly, such a subtle difference endows OQ and PQ with significantly different organelle-staining behaviors. PQ mainly targets at the nucleus, OQ can simultaneously stain cell membranes and mitochondria in normal cells, and performs CMP and MMP-dependent translocation from the cell membrane to mitochondria then to the nucleus, thus holding great promise as an intracellular translocation probe to image the changes of CMP and MMP. After unraveling the intrinsic mechanism of their different translocation abilities by combining experiments with molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations, we successfully used OQ to monitor the continuous changes of CMP and MMP in three neurological disease-related cell models, including oxidative stress-damaged, Parkinson's disease, and virus-infected ones. Besides providing a validated imaging tool for monitoring cellular physiological parameters, this work paves a promising route for designing intracellular translocation probes to analyze cellular physiological parameters associated with various diseases.
