G-quadruplex (G4), a non-classical nucleic acid structure rich in guanine, is widely distributed in genomes, particularly in telomeres, promoters, and viral genomes. It plays a critical regulatory role in key biological processes such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication, transcription, and translation. Aberrations in G4 structure, abundance, or distribution are closely associated with the pathogenesis and progression of multiple diseases. Therefore, achieving highly sensitive and precise detection of G4 holds paramount significance for early disease diagnosis and effective treatment. In recent years, researchers have developed various fluorescent ligands with high specificity for G4. These ligands demonstrate broad application potential in constructing analytical sensing platforms and play pivotal roles in cutting-edge fields such as cellular imaging and precision disease diagnosis due to their unique and superior fluorescence properties. The latest breakthroughs in G4 fluorescent probes across key areas including biosensing, cellular imaging, and cancer therapy are comprehensively summarized. Based on current research status and future trends, it also provides forward-looking perspectives on the development directions of G4 fluorescent probes, aiming to offer valuable references and insights for researchers in related disciplines.
