Abstract
The physiological and clinical importance of Glutathione and Cysteamine is emphasized by their participation in a range of conditions, such as diabetes, cancer, renal failure, Parkinson's disease, and hypothyroidism. This necessitates the requirement for accessible, expedited, and cost-efficient testing that can facilitate clinical diagnosis and treatment options. This article examines numerous techniques used to detect both glutathione and cysteamine. The discussed methods include electroanalytical techniques such as voltammetry and amperometry, which are examined for their sensitivity and ability to provide real-time analysis. Furthermore, this study investigates the accuracy of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in measuring the concentrations of glutathione and cysteamine. Additionally, the potential of new nanotechnology-based methods, such as plasmonic nanoparticles and quantum dots, to improve the sensitivity of detecting glutathione and cysteamine is emphasized.

Zhu S, Guo Q, Zheng Y, Yuan J, Zuo D, Wang B. Sensitive colorimetric detection of glutathione in human serum based on peroxidase-like activity of chitosan-stabilized gold nanoparticles. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:599. [PMID: 39276245 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06656-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/16/2024]
Abstract
A colorimetric sensor for the rapid and sensitive detection of GSH was developed. The hydrothermal method was utilized to synthesize chitosan-stabilized gold nanoparticles (CS-AuNPs). The synthesized CS-AuNPs were characterized by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractograms (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The CS-AuNPs are well-dispersed and possess a spherical shape with an average particle size of 10.05 ± 2.26 nm in aqueous solution. They show an intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, which could efficiently catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 to produce •OH radicals. These radicals then oxidized 3, 3´, 5, 5´-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), resulting in the formation of the blue oxidized product oxTMB, observed a visible color change (from colorless to blue), and oxTMB had an obvious absorption peak at 652 nm. The presence of GSH could inhibit the peroxidase-like activity of CS-AuNPs, thereby reducing the formation of oxTMB. The solution's blue hue underwent a reduction in absorption intensity. Based on this fact, a novel and sensitive colorimetric sensor for detection of GSH was constructed. Under optimal conditions, the results of detection had an excellent linear relationship between the concentration of GSH and ∆A within the range 0.5 ~ 50.0 × 10-6 mol/L. The limit of detection (LOD) for GSH was 2.10 × 10-7 mol/L, which was much lower than those in most previous works. Furthermore, for detection in real human serum samples, the recoveries of GSH and the relative standard deviations (RSD) in the serum were in the range 98.40 ~ 103.32% and 1.85 ~ 3.54%, respectively. Thus, this visual colorimetric method has good precision and can be used for GSH detection in practical applications, promising in the fields of bioanalysis and illness diagnostics.

Abstract
A novel photoelectrochemical sensor, employing an S-scheme heterojunction of phthalocyanine and TiO2 nanoparticles, has been developed to enable highly sensitive determination of glutathione. By integrating the favorable stability, environmental benignity, and electronic properties of the TiO2 matrix with the unique photoactivity of phthalocyanine species, the designed sensor presents a substantial linear dynamic range and a low detection limit for the quantification of glutathione. The sensitivity is attributed to efficient charge transfer and separation across the staggered heterojunction energy levels, which generates measurable photocurrent signals. Systematic variation of phthalocyanine content reveals an optimal composition that balances light harvesting capacity and electron-hole recombination rates. The incorporation of phosphotungstic acid (PTA) in sample preparation effectively minimizes interference from compounds like L-cysteine and others. Consequently, this leads to an improvement in accuracy through the reduction of impurity levels. Appreciable photocurrent enhancements are observed upon introduction of both oxidized and reduced glutathione at the optimized composite photoanode. Coupled with advantageous features of photoelectrochemical transduction such as simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and resistance to fouling, this sensor holds great promise for practical applications in complex biological media.

Rapid and sensitive electrochemical detection of oxidized form of glutathione in whole blood samples using Bi-metallic nanocomposites. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 346:140517. [PMID: 37879374 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023]
Abstract
We report a facile one-pot synthesis of bimetallic nickel-gold (Ni-Au) nanocomposite for ultra-sensitive and selective electrochemical detection of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) by electrochemical deposition on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate. The electrodeposition of Ni-Au nanocomposite on FTO was confirmed by various characterization techniques such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was utilized for the electrochemical characterization of glutathione reductase (GR)/Ni-Au/FTO working electrode at each stage of modification. The GR enzyme immobilized on the Ni-Au/FTO working electrode via glutaraldehyde cross-linking exhibited excellent selectivity against GSSG in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). The immobilized GR enzyme breaks down the GSSG to reduced glutathione (GSH) and converting NADPH to NADP+ whereby generating an electron for the electrochemical sensing of GSSG. The synergistic behavior of bimetals and good electro-catalytic property of the fabricated sensor provided a broad linear detection range from 1 fM to 1 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 6.8 fM, limit of quantification (LOQ) of 20.41 fM and sensitivity of 0.024 mA/μM/cm2. The interference with other molecules such as dopamine, glycine, ascorbic acid, uric acid and glucose was found to be negligible due to the better selectivity of GR enzyme towards GSSG. The shelf-life and response time of the fabricated electrode was found to be 30 days and 32 s, respectively. The real sample analysis of GSSG in whole blood samples showed average recovery percentage from 95 to 101% which matched well with the standard calibration plot of the fabricated sensor with relative standard deviation (RSD) below 10%.

Abstract
Two new series of complexes with pyridine-containing Schiff bases, [VV O(SALIEP)L] and [VV O(Cl-SALIEP)L] (SALIEP=N-(salicylideneaminato)-2-(2-aminoethylpyridine; Cl-SALIEP=N-(5-chlorosalicylideneaminato)-2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine, L=catecholato(2-) ligand) have been synthesized. Characterization by 1 H and 51 V NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopies confirmed that: 1) most complexes form two major geometric isomers in solution, and [VV O(SALIEP)(DTB)] (DTB=3,5-di-tert-butylcatecholato(2-)) forms two isomers that equilibrate in solution; and 2) tert-butyl substituents were necessary to stabilize the reduced VIV species (EPR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry). The pyridine moiety within the Schiff base ligands significantly changed their chemical properties with unsubstituted catecholate ligands compared with the parent HSHED (N-(salicylideneaminato)-N'-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine) Schiff base complexes. Immediate reduction to VIV occurred for the unsubstituted-catecholato VV complexes on dissolution in DMSO. By contrast, the pyridine moiety within the Schiff base significantly improved the hydrolytic stability of [VV O(SALIEP)(DTB)] compared with [VV O(HSHED)(DTB)]. [VV O(SALIEP)(DTB)] had moderate stability in cell culture media. There was significant cellular uptake of the intact complex by T98G (human glioblastoma) cells and very good anti-proliferative activity (IC50 6.7±0.9 μM, 72 h), which was approximately five times higher than for the non-cancerous human cell line, HFF-1 (IC50 34±10 μM). This made [VV O(SALIEP)(DTB)] a potential drug candidate for the treatment of advanced gliomas by intracranial injection.

Abstract
Conductive nanopipettes have been recognized as powerful multifunctional platforms for electrochemical sensing applications in confined spaces. However, the electron-transfer processes of many biological analytes (i.e., enzymes or proteins) are slow and coupled with chemical reactions, which have not been well elucidated in conductive nanopipettes. In this Letter, both experimental and simulation methods are used to study electron-transfer processes coupled to chemical reactions (EC mechanism) in carbon nanopipettes (CNPs). It is demonstrated that the electroactive species can serve as redox mediator to help oxidize and reduce the nonelectroactive analytes of interest in the solution and produce noticeable catalytic current signals. Besides, glutathione was directly measured by using ferrocenemethanol as the redox mediator in the CNPs. The elucidated EC processes in CNPs would offer a new opportunity to measure nonelectroactive analytes in biological fields.

Abstract
Glutathione is a naturally occurring compound that plays a crucial role in the cellular response to oxidative stress through its ability to quench free radicals, thus mitigating the risk of potential damage, including cell death. While glutathione is endogenously present in different plants and animal cells, their concentration varies considerably. The alteration in glutathione homeostasis can be used as a potential marker for human diseases. In the case of the depletion of endogenous glutathione, exogenous sources can be used to replenish the pool. To this end, both natural and synthetic glutathione can be used. However, the health benefit of glutathione from natural sources derived from fruits and vegetables is still debated. There is increasingly growing evidence of the potential health benefits of glutathione in different diseases; however, the determination and in situ quantification of endogenously produced glutathione remains a major challenge. For this reason, it has been difficult to understand the bioprocessing of exogenously delivered glutathione in vivo. The development of an in situ technique will also aid in the routine monitoring of glutathione as a biomarker for different oxidative stress-mediated diseases. Furthermore, an understanding of the in vivo bioprocessing of exogenously delivered glutathione will also aid the food industry both towards improving the longevity and profile of food products and the development of glutathione delivery products for long-term societal health benefits. In this review, we surveyed the natural plant-derived sources of glutathione, the identification and quantification of extracted glutathione from these sources, and the role of glutathione in the food industry and its effect on human health.

Abstract
This review article comprehensively discusses the various electrochemical approaches for measuring and detecting oxidative stress biomarkers and enzymes, particularly reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, highly reactive chemical molecules, which are the byproducts of normal aerobic metabolism and can oxidize cellular components such as DNA, lipids, and proteins. First, we address the latest research on the electrochemical determination of reactive oxygen species generating enzymes, followed by detection of oxidative stress biomarkers, and final determination of total antioxidant activity (endogenous and exogenous). Most electrochemical sensing platforms exploited the unique properties of micro- and nanomaterials such as carbon nanomaterials, metal or metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), conductive polymers and metal-nano compounds, which have been mainly used for enhancing the electrocatalytic response of sensors/biosensors. The performance of the electroanalytical devices commonly measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in terms of detection limit, sensitivity, and linear range of detection is also discussed. This article provides a comprehensive review of electrode fabrication, characterization and evaluation of their performances, which are assisting to design and manufacture an appropriate electrochemical (bio)sensor for medical and clinical applications. The key points such as accessibility, affordability, rapidity, low cost, and high sensitivity of the electrochemical sensing devices are also highlighted for the diagnosis of oxidative stress. Overall, this review brings a timely discussion on past and current approaches for developing electrochemical sensors and biosensors mainly based on micro and nanomaterials for the diagnosis of oxidative stress.

Abstract
We report the use of a carboxylated pyrrolidine-fused chlorin (TCPC) as a fluorescent probe for the determination of glutathione (GSH) in 7.4 pH phosphate buffer. TCPC is a very stable, highly emissive molecule that has been easily obtained from meso-tetrakis(4-methoxycarbonylphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) through a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition approach. First, we describe the coordination of TCPC with Hg(II) ions and the corresponding spectral changes, mainly characterized by a strong quenching of the chlorin emission band. Then, the TCPC-Hg2+ complex exhibits a significant fluorescence turn-on in the presence of low concentrations of the target analyte GSH. The efficacy of the sensing molecule was tested by using different TCPC:Hg2+ concentration ratios (1:2, 1:5 and 1:10) that gave rise to sigmoidal response curves in all cases with modulating detection limits, being the lowest 40 nM. The experiments were carried out under physiological conditions and the selectivity of the system was demonstrated against a number of potential interferents, including cysteine. Furthermore, the TCPC macrocycle did not showed a significant fluorescent quenching in the presence of other metal ions.

Abstract
Novel biosensors based on carboxymethyl cellulose extract from date palm fronds containing Ag nanoparticles as an electrochemical working electrode for fast hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) sensing in date molasses were prepared. The morphological, structural, and crystallinity characteristics of the prepared Ag@CMC were described via SEM, DLS, TEM, and XRD. In addition, Raman spectroscopy and UV-VIS spectroscopy were performed, and thermal stability was studied. The investigated techniques indicated the successful incorporation of AgNPs into the CMC polymer. The sensing behavior of the prepared AgNPs@CMC electrode was studied in terms of cyclic voltammetry and linear scan voltammetry at different HMF concentrations. The results indicated high performance of the designed AgNPs@CMC, which was confirmed by the linear behavior of the relationship between the cathodic current and HMF content. Besides, real commercial samples were investigated using the novel AgNPs@CMC electrode.

Abstract
Electrochemical detection can be used to achieve intracellular or in vivo analysis of reduced glutathione (GSH) in tissues such as brain by using a microelectrode, which can help to better understand the complex biochemical processes of this molecule in the human body. The main challenges associated with electrochemical GSH detection are the chemical fouling of electrodes, caused by the oxidation product of GSSG, and biofouling due to the non-specific absorption of biological macromolecules. Oxo-functionalized graphene was generated in situ on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode using a green electrochemical method without using any other modifiers or materials in a mild water solution. The fabricated oxo-functionalized graphene interface was characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electrochemistry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements. The interface showed high electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of GSH, and a simple and efficient GSH sensor was developed. Interestingly, the electrode is reusable and could be recovered from the chemical fouling via electrochemical oxidation and reduction treatment. The electrode also exhibited good antibiofouling properties. The presented method could be a promising method used to treat carbon materials, especially carbon-based microelectrodes for electrochemical monitoring of intracellular glutathione or in vivo analysis.

Abstract
With the widespread global impact of cancer on humans and the extensive side effects associated with current cancer treatments, a novel, effective, and safe treatment is needed. Redox-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) have emerged as a potential cancer treatment with minimal side effects and enhanced site-specific targeted delivery. This paper explores the physiological and biochemical nature of tumors that allow for redox-responsive drug delivery systems and reviews recent advances in the chemical composition and design of such systems. The five main redox-responsive chemical entities that are the focus of this paper are disulfide bonds, diselenide bonds, succinimide-thioether linkages, tetrasulfide bonds, and platin conjugates. Moreover, as disulfide bonds are the most commonly used entities, the review explored disulfide-containing liposomes, polymeric micelles, and nanogels. While various systems have been devised, further research is needed to advance redox-responsive drug delivery systems for cancer treatment clinical applications.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a new type of metal-free porous architecture with a well-designed pore structure and high stability. Here an efficient electrochemical sensing platform was demonstrated based on COFs TpPa-1 constructed by 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) with p-phenylenediamine (Pa-1), which possesses abundant nitrogen and oxo-functionalities. COFs TpPa-1 exhibited good water dispersibility and strong adsorption affinities for Pd2+ and thus was used as loading support to modify Pd2+. The Pd2+-modified COFs TpPa-1 electrode (Pd2+/COFs) showed high electrocatalytic activity for both hydrazine oxidation reaction and nitrophenol reduction reaction. In addition, TpPa-1-derived nitrogen-doped carbon presented high activity for the electro-oxidation of reduced glutathione (GSH), and sensitive electrochemical detection of GSH was achieved. The presented COFs TpPa-1 can be utilized as a precursor as well as support for anchoring electro-active molecules and nanoparticles, which will be useful for electrochemical sensing and electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Determining the concentration of glutathione is crucial for developing workable medical diagnostic strategies. In this paper, we developed an electrochemical sensor by electrodepositing amino-based reactive groups and gold–platinum nanomaterials on the surface of glassy carbon electrode successively. The sensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS). Results showed that Au@Pt nanoparticles with the size of 20–40 nm were presented on the surface of electrode. The sensor exhibits excellent electrocatalytic oxidation towards glutathione. Based on this, we devised an electrochemical biosensor for rapid and sensitive detection of glutathione. After optimizing experimental and operational conditions, a linear response for the concentration of GSH, in the range of 0.1–11 μmol/L, with low detection and quantification limits of 0.051 μM (S/N = 3), were obtained. The sensor also exhibits superior selectivity, reproducibility, low cost, as well as simple preparation and can be applied in human serum sample detection.

Abstract
The simple and facilitated transfer of tripeptide glutathione across the water/2-nitrophenyl octhyl ether interface was studied via cyclic voltammetry at interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES). The micro-perforated membrane prepared with a laser with a femtosecond pulse was used for mechanical stabilization of the interface. The method of cyclic voltammetry was used to study the passive and facilitated interfacial transfer of glutathione and its complex with the crown ether dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6).The glutathione mass transfer mechanism was established and substantiated, the diffusion coefficients, thermodynamic characteristics of interphase transfer and the constant of complexation of the glutathione by DB18C6 were determined. Square wave voltammetry based on facilitated transfer was used for more accurate and sensitive determination of glutathione low detection limit (0.8 μM) with wide linear dynamic range (from 3.0 to 80 μM) was reached. The influence of various potentially interfering ions on the voltammetric determination of glutathione has also been investigated. The method developed was applied to determine glutathione in aqueous solutions and malt extract.

Abstract
Artificial peroxisome is of critical importance to supersede natural peroxisome in fabricating protocell system and disease treatment. Nevertheless, developing feasible artificial peroxisome with various stable functions remains a monumental challenge. Nanozyme with multiple enzyme-like activities can mimic natural enzymes in peroxisome, which make it a prospective candidate for artificial peroxisome design. Herein, we prepared a nanozyme with multiple peroxisomal-like activities - Pd nanoparticles functionalized nitrogen-doped porous carbon-reduced graphene oxide (PdNPs/N-PC-rGO). Due to its sandwich-like structure, the incorporation of N heteroatoms and the synergistic effect between PdNPs and N-PC-rGO bi-support, the PdNPs/N-PC-rGO exhibited triple peroxisomal-like activities including oxidase (OXD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT), leading it a promising alternative for artificial peroxisome exploration. Furthermore, the PdNPs/N-PC-rGO showed high electrocatalytic activity, which could be employed for the detection of electrochemical active substances reduced glutathione (GSH). The PdNPs/N-PC-rGO modified electrode displayed a wide concentration range from 70 nM to 1500 μM, with a very low detection limit of 9.8 nM (S/N = 3). Therefore, PdNPs/N-PC-rGO was a promising nanozyme for various biotechnological applications such as artificial organelles, biosensing, cytoprotection, disease diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Sulfur quantum dots (S-dots) show great potential for applications in various field, due to their favorable biocompatibility, high stability, and antibacterial properties. However, the use of S-dots in chemical sensing is limited by the lack of functional groups on the surface. In this work, a fluorescence glutathione (GSH) assay is developed based on the GSH modulated quenching effect of Cu2O nanoparticles (NP) on S-dots. The fluorescence of S-dots is effectively quenched after forming complex with Cu2O NP through a static quenching effect (SQE). Introducing of GSH can trigger the decomposition of Cu2O NP into GSH-Cu(I) complex, which leads to the weaken of SQE and the partial recover of the fluorescence. The intensity of recovered fluorescence shows a positive correlation with the concentration of GSH in the concentration range of 20 to 500 μM. The fluorescence GSH assay shows excellent selectivity and robustness towards various interferences and high concentration salt, which endow the successful detection of GSH in human blood sample. The presented results provide a new door for the design of fluorescence assays, which also provides a platform for the applications in nanomedicine and environmental science.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant antioxidant in the majority of cells and tissues; and its use as a biomarker has been known for decades. In this study, a facile electrochemical method was developed for glutathione sensing using voltammetry and amperometry analyses. In this study, a novel glassy carbon electrode composed of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) embedded on amine-functionalized silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) was synthesized. GQDs embedded on amine-functionalized SiNPs were physical-chemically characterized by different techniques that included high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), and Raman spectroscopy. The newly developed electrode exhibits a good response to glutathione with a wide linear range (0.5-7 µM) and a low detection limit (0.5 µM) with high sensitivity(2.64 µA µM-1). The fabricated GQDs-SiNPs/GC electrode shows highly attractive electrocatalytic activity towards glutathione detection in the neutral media at low potential due to a synergistic surface effect caused by the incorporation of GQDs over SiNPs. It leads to higher surface area and conductivity, improving electron transfer and promoting redox reactions. Besides, it provides outstanding selectivity, reproducibility, long-term stability, and can be used in the presence of interferences typically found in real sample analysis.

Abstract
The cyclic signal amplification technology has been widely applied for the ultrasensitive detection of many important biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), metal ions, exosome, etc. Due to their low content in the complex biological samples, traditional detection methods are insufficient to satisfy the requirements for monitoring those biomolecules. Therefore, effective and sensitive biosensors based on cyclic signal amplification technology are of great significance for the quick and simple diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Fluorescent biosensor based on cyclic signal amplification technology has become a research hotspot due to its simple operation, low cost, short time, high sensitivity and high specificity. This paper introduces several cyclic amplification methods, such as rolling circle amplification (RCA), strand displacement reactions (SDR) and enzyme-assisted amplification (EAA), and summarizes the research progress of using this technology in the detection of different biomolecules in recent years, in order to provide help for the research of more efficient and sensitive detection methods.

Abstract
In this work, a nanosensor chemiluminescent (CL) probe for sensing glutathione (GSH) was developed, for the first time, based on its inhibition of the intrinsic peroxidase-mimetic effect of BSA@AuNCs. The endoperoxide linkage of artesunate could be hydrolyzed by BSA@AuNCs resulting in the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the consequent generation of strong CL emission. By virtue of the strong covalent interactions of -S⋯Au-, GSH could greatly suppress the peroxidase-mimetic effect of BSA@AuNCs, leading to a drastic CL quenching. The CL quenching efficiency increased proportionally to the logarithm of GSH concentration through the linearity range of 50.0-5000.0 nM with a limit of detection of 5.2 nM. This CL-based strategy for GSH tracing demonstrated the advantages of ultrasensitivity, high selectivity and simplicity. This strategy was successfully utilized to measure GSH levels in human serum with reasonable recovery results of 98.71%, 103.18%, and 101.68%, suggesting that this turn-off CL sensor is a promising candidate for GSH in biological and clinical samples.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) (such as occlusion of the coronary arteries, hypertensive heart diseases and strokes) are diseases that generate thousands of patients with a high mortality rate worldwide. Many of these cardiovascular pathologies, during their development, generate a state of oxidative stress that leads to a deterioration in the patient's conditions associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Within these reactive species we find superoxide anion (O2•-), hydroxyl radical (•OH), nitric oxide (NO•), as well as other species of non-free radicals such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hypochlorous acid (HClO) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-). A molecule that actively participates in counteracting the oxidizing effect of reactive species is reduced glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide that is present in all tissues and that its synthesis and/or regeneration is very important to be able to respond to the increase in oxidizing agents. In this review, we will address the role of glutathione, its synthesis in both the heart and the liver, and its importance in preventing or reducing deleterious ROS effects in cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive colorimetric and fluorescence dual-readout assay based on the inner filter effect (IFE) was developed for glutathione (GSH) determination, in which carbon dots (C-dots) were used as a fluorophore and MnO2 nanosheets as an absorber. Due to the excellent optical absorption properties of MnO2 nanosheets and the good spectral overlap between the fluorophore and absorber, MnO2 nanosheets could effectively quench the fluorescence of C-dots via the IFE. As the target, GSH could reduce MnO2 nanosheets to Mn2+ ions, which inhibited the IFE and resulted in the fading of solution color and the recovery of the fluorescence signal. And these two kinds of signals were respectively used for qualitative and quantitative detection of GSH. The results showed that this proposed assay could distinguish 10 μM GSH with the naked eye and quantitatively detect GSH within the concentration range of 0.1-400 μM. The limit of detection was 6.6 nM. Moreover, this assay showed sensitive responses in human serum and urine samples, which indicated that this IFE-based assay has great potential in GSH-related clinical and bioanalytical applications.

Abstract
A new nanosensor for glutathione (GSH) detection by use of single nanoelectrodes has been developed through a dual-signaling ratiometric amplification strategy. Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) metalized DNA1 was modified on an Au nanoelectrode surface. Due to the strong affinity between Ag NP and GSH, Ag NPs could be removed by the addition of GSH. The remaining metalized DNA1 could hardly form a double strand, while the de-metalized DNA1 could hybrid with DNA2 and DNA3 to form a complex structure to adsorb methylene blue (MB), and then the electrochemical signal of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) from MB oxidation could be observed. With the addition of GSH, the peak current of MB oxidation at about -0.27 V (IMB) increases, while the signal of Ag oxidation at about 0.1 V (IAg) decreases. It was found that there had a linear relationship between the ratio of dual-signal (IMB/IAg) and the GSH concentrations, which could be used to detect GSH. The ratiometric nanosensor is label-free, easy to operate, and can eliminate inherent system errors. Considering the advantages of nanoelectrodes, such as low IR drop, fast response, and small overall dimension, this developed nanosensor can be used for GSH detection living systems (e.g., cell lysate).

Abstract
In this study, we report a facile one-pot chemical etching approach to simply and rapidly prepare gold nanoclusters capped with luminol (Lum-AuNCs) in an alkaline aqueous solution at room temperature. A series of characterization studies have been carried out to explore the morphology, the optical properties and chemical components of Lum-AuNCs. The average diameter of Lum-AuNCs is 1.8 ± 0.3 nm, exhibiting fluorescence near 510 nm upon excitation at 420 nm with a quantum yield of 14.29% and an average fluorescence lifetime of 9.47 ns. On the basis of the ligand-induced etching of glutathione (GSH) to the intermediate (luminol capped gold nanoparticles, abbreviated as Lum-AuNPs), a novel and simple method for the fluorescence determination of GSH has been established. The method displays a good linear response in the range of 0.05-300 μM toward GSH with a limit of detection of 35 nM. This detection strategy with high sensitivity and selectivity facilitates its practical application for the detection of GSH levels in cell extracts. The in vitro cell results illustrate that Lum-AuNCs have good cytocompatibility and can be used to readily differentiate normal cells and tumor cells.

Abstract
In this work, a glutathione (GSH) sensing nano-platform using lucigenin as a fluorescent probe in the presence of MnO2 nanosheets was reported for the first time. Unlike the earlier fluorescent detection systems based on MnO2 nanosheets, which depend on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) or the dynamic quenching effect (DQE), the mechanism of the quenching process of MnO2 nanosheets on lucigenin fluorescence was attributed mainly to a static quenching effect (SQE) with a minor contribution of the inner filter effect (IFE). A double exponential fluorescence decay of lucigenin was obtained in various MnO2 nanosheet concentrations as a result of their SQE and IFE. Based on this phenomenon and taking advantage of the redox reaction between GSH and MnO2 nanosheets, we have developed a switch-on sensitive fluorescent method for GSH via the recovery of the MnO2 nanosheet-quenched fluorescence of lucigenin. A good linearity range of 1.0-150.0 μM with a low limit of detection (S/N = 3) of 180.0 nM was achieved, revealing the higher sensitivity for GSH determination in comparison with the previously reported MnO2 nanosheet-based turn-on fluorescent methods. The developed fluorescent nano-platform exhibits excellent selectivity with successful application for GSH detection in human serum plasma, indicating its good practicability for GSH sensing in biological and clinical applications.

Abstract
A synthetic route for redox-sensitive and non-sensitive core multi-shell (CMS) carriers with sizes below 20 nm and narrow molecular weight distributions was established. Cyclic voltammetric measurements were conducted characterizing the redox potentials of reduction-sensitive CMS while showcasing its reducibility through glutathione and tris(2-carboxyethyl)-phosphine as a proof of concept. Measurements of reduction-initiated release of the model dye Nile red by time-dependent fluorescence spectroscopy showed a pronounced release for the redox-sensitive CMS nanocarrier (up to 90% within 24 h) while the non-sensitive nanocarriers showed no release in PBS. Penetration experiments using ex vivo human skin showed that the redox-sensitive CMS nanocarrier could deliver higher percentages of the loaded macrocyclic dye meso-tetra (m-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (mTHPP) to the skin as compared to the non-sensitive CMS nanocarrier. Encapsulation experiments showed that these CMS nanocarriers can encapsulate dyes or drugs with different molecular weights and hydrophobicity. A drug content of 1 to 6 wt% was achieved for the anti-inflammatory drugs dexamethasone and rapamycin as well as fluorescent dyes such as Nile red and porphyrins. These results show that redox-initiated drug release is a promising strategy to improve the topical drug delivery of macrolide drugs.

Abstract
Thiol compounds (R-SH) have many important biological functions and are principal controls of the speciation of several toxic metals in the environment. However, determining the concentration of thiols associated with environmental matrices is challenging due to the compounds' low abundance and interferences from non-thiol compounds for many available methods. Here a novel method has been developed and validated to quantify the total concentration of thiol functional groups in aqueous samples using derivatization with monobromo(trimethylammonio)bimane (qBBr) and quantification with tandem mass spectrometry. The thiol concentration was determined by titration of the sample with qBBr, which reacts selectively with thiols, and quantification of the residual qBBr. We systematically evaluated potential interferences from various organic compounds, inorganic ions (including sea water matrices), sulfide and mercury (Hg) species, and demonstrate that the method is highly sensitive, selective and robust. The limit of detection (LOD) for total thiols is in the nanomolar concentration range (~6 nM). The method performance was also demonstrated by determination of the total thiol concentration in different natural samples including boreal stream water (1.16 μM), wetland porewater (0.96 μM) and the Suwanee River natural organic matter (NOM) reference material SR101 N (7.9 μmol g-1). The developed method represents a combination of low LOD and high selectivity and robustness that is unsurpassed for total thiol concentration measurements.

Abstract
Glutathione is an important biological molecule which can be an indicator of numerous diseases. A method for self-powered detection of glutathione levels in solution has been developed using an enzymatic biofuel cell. The device consists of a glucose oxidase anode and a bilirubin oxidase cathode. For the detection of glutathione, the inhibition of bilirubin oxidase leads to a measurable decrease in current and power output. The reported method has a detection limit of 0.043 mM and a linear range up to 1.7 mM. Being able to detect a range of concentrations can be useful in evaluating a patient’s health. This method has the potential to be implemented as a quick, low-cost alternative to previously reported methods.

DA was detected based on etching strategy and morphology transition of label-free Ag NPs hybridized with GNR. As a result of the etching process, hexagonal Ag NPs were changed to smaller corner-truncated nanoparticles and a blue shift was observed in its plasmonic band, accompanied by the color change from green to red. Sequentially, GSH induced aggregation of Ag NPs which resulted in a decrease in absorption intensity of Ag NPs plasmonic band and a color change from red to gray. By employing GNR/Ag NPs hybrid as a sensitive colorimetric sensor, DA and GSH were successfully detected in low concentrations of 0.04 μM and 0.23 μM, respectively. The same experiment was carried out in the absence of GNR and the detection limits were obtained 0.46 and 1.2 μM for DA and GSH, respectively. These results confirmed the effective role of GNR on the sensitivity improvement of GNR/Ag NPs hybrid. The proposed simple and sensitive sensing approach offered a beneficial and promising platform for sequential detection of DA and GSH in the biological samples.

Abstract
Size and shape tunability have been widely demonstrated for gold nanorods (AuNRs), but reproducible and reliable protocols for the synthesis of small nanocrystals with high yield are still needed for potential biomedical applications. Here, we present novel seed-mediated and seedless protocols for gold nanorods by incorporating bioadditives or small thiolated molecules during the growth stage. The bioadditives glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), l-cysteine (l-cys), and l-methionine (l-met) are utilized in nanomolar and micromolar concentrations to modify the aspect ratio of AuNRs in a reproducible form. Overall, smaller aspect ratios are achieved for both synthetic approaches due to reduction in length or increment in length and width depending on the method, type of bioadditive and the strength of its interaction with the nanorod surface. For the seeded synthesis, only GSSG produces large nanorods in high yield, whereas for the seedless method GSH and GSSG form small nanorods with higher quality when compared to controls.

Abstract
Mechanical microenvironment plays a key role in the regulation of the phenotype and function of cardiac cells, which are strongly associated with the intracellular redox mechanism of cardiomyocytes. However, the relationship between the redox state of cardiomyocytes and their mechanical microenvironment remains elusive. In this work, we used polyacrylamide (PA) gels with varying stiffness (6.5-92.5 kPa) as the substrate to construct a mechanical microenvironment for cardiomyocytes. Then we employed scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to in situ characterize the redox state of a single cardiomyocyte in terms of the apparent rate constant (kf) of the regeneration rate of ferrocenecarboxylic by glutathione (GSH) released from cardiomyocyte, which is the most abundant reactant of intracellular reductive-oxidative metabolic cycles in cells and can represent the redox level of cardiomyocytes. The obtained SECM results show that the cardiomyocytes cultured on the stiffer substrates present lower kf values than those on the softer ones, that is, the more oxidative state of cardiomyocytes on the stiffer substrates compared to those on the softer ones. It proves the relationship between mechanical factors and the redox state of cardiomyocytes. This work can contribute to understanding the intracellular chemical process of cardiomyocytes during physiopathologic conditions. Besides, it also provides a new SECM method to in situ investigate the redox mechanism of cardiomyocytes at a single-cell level.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a new method for the detection of mercury (II) and glutathione using carbon dots as fluorescent sensor. The synthesized carbon dots have the advantages of simple manipulation, low cost and the high fluorescence quantum yield of them which was22.79%. The combination of mercury (II) and carbon dots caused the turn off of carbon dots fluorescence. With the reaction between mercury (II) and glutathione, the carbon dots were released and the fluorescence was turned on when the glutathione added. According to this, the carbon dots could be developed to detect mercury (II) and glutathione specifically, and the detection limit of mercury (II) is as low as 0.41 μM.
