Ultrasensitive Detection of Cu(II) and Pb(II) Using a Water-Soluble Perylene Probe. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27207079. [PMID: 36296672 PMCID: PMC9608940 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27207079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Revised: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The selective detection of metal ions in water, using sustainable detection systems, is of crescent importance for monitoring water environments and drinking water safety. One of the key elements of future chemical sciences is the use of sustainable approaches in the design of new materials. In this study, we design and synthesize a low-cost, water-soluble potassium salt of 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid (PTAS), which shows a selective optical response on the addition of Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions in aqueous solutions. By using a water-soluble chromophore, the interactions with the metal ions are definitely more intimate and efficient, with respect to standard methods employing cosolvents. The detection limits of PTAS for both Cu2+ and Pb2+ are found to be 2 µM by using a simple absorbance mode, and even lower (1 μM) with NMR experiments, indicating that this analyte–probe system is sensitive enough for the detection of copper ions in drinking water and lead ions in waste water. The complexation of PTAS with both ions is supported with NMR studies, which reveal the formation of new species between PTAS and analytes. By combining a low-cost water-soluble chromophore with efficient analyte–probe interactions due to the use of aqueous solutions, the results here obtained provide a basis for designing sustainable sensing systems.

Abstract
Heavy metals ions as metallic pollutants are a growing global issue due to their adverse effects on the aquatic ecosystem, and human health. Unfortunately, conventional detection methods such as atomic absorption spectrometry exhibit a relatively low limit of detection and hold numerous disadvantages, and therefore, the development of an efficient method for in-situ and real-time detection of heavy metal residues is of great importance. The aptamer-based sensors offer distinct advantages over antibodies and emerged as a robust sensing platform against various heavy metals due to their high sensitivity, ease of production, simple operations, excellent specificity, better stability, low immunogenicity, and cost-effectiveness. The nucleic acid aptamers in conjugation with nanomaterials can bind to the metal ions with good specificity/selectivity and can be used for on-site monitoring of metal ion residues. This review aimed to provide background information about nanomaterials-based aptasensor, recent advancements in aptamer conjunction on nanomaterials surface, the role of nanomaterials in improving signal transduction, recent progress of nanomaterials-based aptasening procedures (from 2010 to 2022), and future perspectives toward the practical applications of nanomaterials-based aptasensors against hazardous metal ions for food safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Lead is a potentially toxic element (PTE) that has several adverse medical effects in humans. Its presence in the environment became prominent due to anthropogenic activities. The current study explores the use of newly developed composite materials (organic-inorganic hybrid) based on PANI-GO-APTES for electrochemical detection of Pb2+ in aqueous solution. The composite material (PANI-GO-APTES) was synthesized by chemical method and was characterized with SEM, XPS, XEDS, XRD, TGA, FTIR, EIS and CV. The result of characterization indicates the successful synthesis of the intended material. The PANI-GO-APTES was successfully applied for electrochemical detection of Pb2+ using cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry method. The limit of detection of Pb2+ was 0.0053 µM in the linear range of 0.01 µM to 0.4 µM. The current response produced during the electrochemical reduction of Pb2+ catalyzed by PANI-GO-APTES was also very repeatable, reproducible and rapid. The application of PANI-GO-APTES-modified GCE in real sample analysis was also established. Therefore, PANI-GO-APTES is presented as a potential Pb2+ sensor for environmental and human health safety.

Abstract
A fluorescent probe was developed for ratiometric detection of thallium ions in mineral water samples by modifying a G-rich aptamer (PS2.M - 7) with a fluorescence donor (Cyanine-3, Cy3) and a quencher (Cyanine-5, Cy5). The probe had a random coil structure that changed into a G-quadruplex structure upon binding with Tl+. This change in structure decreased the distance between the donor and acceptor moieties, which resulted in fluorescence resonance energy transfer between Cy3 and Cy5. Under optimized conditions, the limit of detection and linear concentration range for Tl+ were 30.1 μM (3σ) and 10 μM-10 mM (R2 = 0.9981), respectively. This simple and cost-effective fluorescence sensor provided satisfactory results for detection of thallium ions in spiked mineral water samples.

Abstract
Herein, a novel turn-off fluorescent aptasensor was developed for selective detection of ampicillin (AMP) at picomolar level based on 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimide (PTCDI) as an affordable and low-cost fluorophore. This aptasensor was designed using aptamer, its complementary strand (CS) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The principle of the sensing method is a decrease in the fluorescence intensity of PTCDI in the presence of free CS. Following the addition of AMP, Aptamer/CS-modified AuNPs releases CS and so, the fluorescence intensity of PTCDI is reduced. The designed analytical method indicated a good linear range from 100 pM to 1000 pM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 29.2 pM was obtained. Furthermore, the sensing strategy indicated satisfactory results for the detection of AMP in the spiked human serum samples. By changing the sequences of aptamer and its CS, the presented analytical approach can be easily applied for detection of other antibiotics.

Abstract
Hydrazine (N2H4) and fluoride ion (F-) are regarded as environmental pollutants and potential carcinogens. A dual-functional fluorescent probe (probe 1) was developed for both F- and N2H4 with high selectivity and sensitivity. 1 was based on nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction for N2H4 detection and selective cleavage of 4-nitrobenzenesulphonyl group for the determination of F-. The limits of detection of probe for F- and N2H4 were 77.82 nM and 29.34 nM, respectively, which are far below the threshold limit value (TLV) of United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The home-made test strips of 1 provided the positive tool for F- and gaseous N2H4 in different system. And the confocal fluorescence images indicated that 1 can quantitatively detect N2H4 in living PC12 cells. Promisingly, 1 has great prospects for N2H4 imaging and determining in living system.

Abstract
This review (with 230 refs.) covers recent progress in rapid optical assays for heavy metals (primarily lead and mercury as the most relevant) based on the use of nanoparticles and receptor molecules. An introduction surveys the importance, regulatory demands (such as maximum permissible concentrations) and potential and limitations of various existing methods. This is followed by a general discussion on the use of nanoparticles in optical assays of heavy metals (including properties, basic mechanisms of signal generation). The next sections cover methods for the functionalization of nanoparticles with (a) sulfur-containing compounds (used for modification of nanoparticles or added to the reaction medium), (b) nitrogen-containing compounds (such as amino acids, polypeptides, and heterocyclic molecules), and (c) oxygen-containing species (such as hydroxy and carbonyl compounds). This is continued by a specific description of specific assays based on the use of aptamers as receptors, on the use of deoxyribozymes as synthetic reaction catalysts, of G-quadruplex aptamers, of aptamers in logic gate-type of assays of linear (unstructured) aptamers ("hairpins"), and on the use of aptamers in lateral flow assays. A next section covers assays based on the employment of antibodies as receptors (used in the immunoassay development). The properties of various nanoparticles and their applicability in optical assays are also discussed in some detail. Final sections discuss the selectivity of assays, potential interferences by other cations, methods for their elimination, and also matrix effects and approaches for sample pretreatment. A concluding section discusses current challenges and future trends. Analysis based on enzyme inhibition assay is not treated here but enzyme-like action of some receptor molecules such as DNAzymes is discussed. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of main principles of application of various nanoparticles with receptor molecules (S-, N-, O-containing, heterocyclic compounds, proteins, antibody, aptamers) for heavy metals ions detection. The included methods cover optical assays with description of mechanisms of interactions and signal generation.

Abstract
This work describes an electrochemical aptasensor for determination of lead ions (Pb2+). Composites prepared from gold nanoparticles and polypyrrole (Au@PPy) with good electrical conductivity were used to modify the surface of a screen printed carbon electrode for amplifying the current signal. Single strand DNA was immobilized on the electrode and binds lead(II) as confirmed by cyclic voltammetry at voltage of -0.2 V~0.6 V. Differential pulse voltammetry, measured at 0.10 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), was used to monitor the interaction between aptamer and lead(II) using hexacyanoferrate as an electrochemical probe. In the presence of Pb2+, the aptamer forms a G-quadruplex, and the peak current is increased. By this method, Pb2+ can be detected in the range of 0.5-10 nM with a low detection limit of 0.36 nM. The aptasensor was successfully applied to the determination of Pb2+ in polluted soil and baby's nail. The method showed outstanding sensitivity and selectivity in detecting Pb2+, therefore is considered to have great potential in developing an environmental monitoring platform. Graphical abstract Schematic illustration of Pb2+ detection procedure and principle using an electrochemical aptasensor.

Abstract
The authors describe a colorimetric method for the sensitive and selective detection of Pb(II). It is based on the use exonuclease I (Exo I), a Pb(II)-binding aptamer bound to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and a DNA strand that complementary to the aptamer. In the absence of Pb(II), the dsDNA on the AuNPs prevents aggregation of the AuNPs in the presence of NaCl. In the presence of Pb(II), however, the aptamer binds Pb(II) and complementary strand is released and digested by Exo I. As a result, the solution of AuNPs undergoes a color change from red to purple if salt is added to the sample. The assay is selective for Pb(II) and has a limit of detection as low as 2.4 nM. It was successfully applied to the determination of Pb(II) in spiked tap water. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the aptamer based method for Pb2+ detection via salt-induced aggregation of gold nanoparticles and colorimetric quantitation.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin identified as a contaminant in grains and wine throughout the world, and convenient, rapid and sensitive detection methods for OTA have been a long-felt need for food safety monitoring. Herein, we presented a new competitive format based lateral flow strip fluorescent aptasensor for one-step determination of OTA in corn samples. Briefly, biotin-cDNA was immobilized on the surface of a nitrocellulose filter on the test line. Without OTA, Cy5-labeled aptamer combined with complementary strands formed a stable double helix. In the presence of OTA, however, the Cy5-aptamer/OTA complexes were generated, and therefore less free aptamer was captured in the test zone, leading to an obvious decrease in fluorescent signals on the test line. The test strip showed an excellent linear relationship in the range from 1 ng·mL−1 to 1000 ng·mL−1 with the LOD of 0.40 ng·mL−1, IC15 value of 3.46 ng·mL−1 and recoveries from 96.4% to 104.67% in spiked corn samples. Thus, the strip sensor developed in this study is an acceptable alternative for rapid detection of the OTA level in grain samples.
