S S, Sam S, Girish Kumar K. Polyethyleneimine capped silver nanoclusters based turn-off-on fluorescence sensor for the determination of glutathione. Talanta 2024; 278:126541. [PMID: 39018760 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
A polyethyleneimine capped silver nanoclusters (PEI-AgNCs) based turn-off-on fluorescence sensor has been developed to determine glutathione (GSH) effectively. The fluorescence intensity of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) has been quenched by Cu(II) and recovered by adding GSH. The quenching of fluorescence intensity of PEI-AgNCs by Cu(II) and recovery of the emission intensity of PEI-AgNCs after the addition of GSH is supposed to be ground state adduct formation. Due to the greater affinity of Cu(II) towards GSH compared to that to PEI-AgNCs, the defragmentation of PEI-AgNCs-Cu(II) adduct occurs after the addition of GSH to the solution, resulting in the recovery of emission intensity of PEI-AgNCs. Characterisation studies of the probe have been done using FT-IR spectroscopy, XPS analysis, XRD analysis, UV-visible and Fluorescence spectrophotometry, EDX spectroscopy and TEM analysis. Different experimental parameters were optimised. Under optimised analytical conditions, the sensor showed a wide linear range for the quantification of GSH from 1.00 × 10-4 M to 3.00 × 10-6 M with a detection limit (LOD) of 8.00 × 10-7 M. Selectivity and interference studies were done in the presence of different structurally similar and coexisting species of GSH in blood. The practical utility of the proposed sensor has been validated in artificial blood serum.

Carbohydr Polym 2024; 336:122138. [PMID: 38670763 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Water-soluble silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) as a new type of fluorescent material have attracted much attention for their remarkable optical properties and excellent cytocompatibility. However, it is still challenging to synthesize water-soluble AgNCs with good cytocompatibility and excellent fluorescence. Herein, the dialdehyde nanofibrillated cellulose (DANFC)- reduced water-soluble AgNCs capped by glutathione (GSH) with tunable fluorescence emissions were first reported. The DANFC provides a mild reduction environment and crystal growth system for the coordination between silver ions and GSH compared to conventional methods using strong reducing agents. The AgNCs with intense red fluorescence (R-AgNCs@GSH, size ∼2.24 nm) and green fluorescence (G-AgNCs@GSH, size ∼1.93 nm) were produced by varying the ratios of silver sources and ligands, and could maintain stable fluorescence intensity over 6 months. Moreover, the CCK-8 study demonstrated that the R-AgNCs@GSH and G-AgNCs@GSH reduced by DANFC of excellent cytocompatibility (cell viability >90 %) and enable precise multicolor intracellular imaging of Hela cells in 1 h. This work proposes a novel method to synthesize water-soluble AgNCs with tunable fluorescence emission at room temperature based on the classical silver- mirror reaction (SMR) using DANFC as reducing agent, and the synthesized fluorescent AgNCs have great potential as novel luminescent nanomaterials in biological research.

A Ratiometric Fluorescence Probe Based on Silver Nanoclusters and CdSe/ZnS Quantum dots for the Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide by Aggregation and Etching. J Fluoresc 2024:10.1007/s10895-024-03774-x.

Abstract
In this study, a ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobe is developed for the analysis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) were synthesized by chemical reduction method using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as reducing agent, and were coupled with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) to form the ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobe silver nanoclusters-quantum dots (AgNCs-QDs). The effect of the volume ratio of CdSe/ZnS QDs to AgNCs on the fluorescence ratio of AgNCs-QDs was investigated. The fluorescence characterization results show that two emission peaks of AgNCs-QDs are located at 473 nm and 661 nm, respectively. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that H2O2 can cause the fluorescence probe to aggregate, while etching AgNCs to produce silver ions, which together cause the fluorescence of the QDs in the ratiometric fluorescent probe to be quenched. Based on this strategy, the fluorescence intensity ratio of the two emission peaks F473/F661 exhibits a strong linear correlation with the concentration of H2O2. The detection range is 3.32 µM ~ 2.65 mM with a detection limit of 3.32 µM. In addition, the ratiometric fluorescence probe can specifically recognize H2O2 and has excellent anti-interference performance and good fluorescence stability. Importantly, the probe was utilized for the detection of H2O2 in serum, showing the possibility of the probe in clinical detection applications.

The role of glutathione in stabilizing aromatic volatile organic compounds in Rougui Oolong tea: A comprehensive study from content to mechanisms. Food Chem 2024; 437:137802. [PMID: 37866345 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
Chinese Oolong tea is widely known for its intricate aroma. However, the degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) poses significant challenges for the tea products. In this study, glutathione (GSH) has an excellent preservation effect on VOCs in both the VOCs extract and the tea infusion during storage, specifically slowing the degradation of hexanal (by 66.39% and 35.09%) and heptanal (by 67.46% and 63.50%). Additionally, the addition of GSH maintained higher levels of active ingredients in tea infusion, including epigallocatechin, procyanidin B1, glutamic acid, and L-(+)-arginine, with respective increases of 184.09, 2.92, 4.10, and 6.35 times. The sulfhydryl group of GSH formed a covalent bond with hexanal and 2-methylbutanal, therefore improving the stability of VOCs. These findings provided a valuable insight for developing effective VOC preservation techniques for water-based tea products.

Abstract
An unsophisticated fluorescence-enabled strategy is brought forward to process the highly sensitive fluorescence detection of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) which based on polyethyleneimine (PEI)-templated silver/copper nanoclusters (Ag/CuNCs) (λ excitation = 334 nm and λ emission = 466 nm) with cryonase-assisted target recycling amplification. The Ag/CuNCs nanoclusters are synthesized as fluorescent materials due to their strong and stable fluorescence characteristics and are modified with S. typhimurium aptamers to form aptamer-Ag/CuNCs probes. The probes can be adsorbed on the surface of quenching agents-polydopamine nanospheres (PDANSs), thereby inducing fluorescence quenching of the probes. Once the aptamers are bound to the target, the aptamers/targets complexes are separated from the PDANSs surface, and the Ag/CuNCs recover the fluorescence signal. The released complexes will immediately be transformed into a substrate digested by cryonase (an enzyme that can digest all types of nucleic acids), and the released targets are bound to another aptamers to initiate the next round of cleavage. This reaction will be repeated continuously until all relevant aptamers are consumed and all Ag/CuNCs are released, resulting in a significant amplification of the fluorescence signal and improved sensitivity. Using Ag/CuNCs as fluorescent probes combined with cryonase-assisted amplification strategy, the fluorescence aptasensor is constructed with detection limits as low as 3.8 CFU mL-1, which is tenfold better than without the cryonase assistance. The method developed has been applied to milk, orange juice, chicken, and egg white samples with excellent selectivity and accuracy providing an approach for the early and rapid detection of S. typhimurium in food.

Abstract
Silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) have been widely applied in the field of biology, drug therapy and cell imaging in the last decade. In order to study the biosafety of AgNCs, GSH-AgNCs and DHLA-AgNCs were synthesized using glutathione (GSH) and dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) as ligands, and their interactions with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) from abstraction to visualization were studied. The results of spectroscopy, viscometry and molecular docking demonstrated that GSH-AgNCs mainly bound to ctDNA in a groove mode, while DHLA-AgNCs were both groove and intercalation binding. Fluorescence experiments suggested that the quenching mechanism of both AgNCs to the emission of ctDNA-probe were both in static mode, and thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the main forces between GSH-AgNCs and ctDNA were hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, while hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic forces contributed to the binding of DHLA-AgNCs to ctDNA. The binding strength demonstrated that DHLA-AgNCs bound to ctDNA more strongly than that of GSH-AgNCs. The results of circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy reflected small effects of both AgNCs on the structure of ctDNA. This study will support the theoretical foundation for the biosafety of AgNCs and have a guiding significance for the preparation and application of AgNCs.

A simple spectrophotometric determination of hydrogen peroxide solution via spectral delta from redox reaction with sodium hypochlorite. ANAL SCI 2023; 39:149-152.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is widely used in the synthesis of organic chemicals, bleaching of paper pulp, and the treatment of wastewater and as a food additive, important mediator of redox processes in natural water, and a disinfectant. However, H2O2 stock solution is unstable and slowly decomposes when exposed to, for example, light, elevated temperatures, or metal compounds. Therefore, the ability to measure the exact concentration of H2O2 stock solution is important for its proper use in diverse applications. This work proposes a simple method for the spectrophotometric determination of H2O2 solution via chemical reaction with sodium hypochlorite that is inexpensive and easy to acquire. The proposed method is based on the stoichiometric spectral change of hypochlorite ion at 292.5 nm following a redox reaction with a sample solution of H2O2. Due to high relationship between the spectral delta value and the applied H2O2 concentration (0.00188-0.03000%), H2O2 stock solution can be easily quantified.

Abstract
Non-invasive liquid biopsies offer hope for a rapid, risk-free, real-time glimpse into cancer diagnostics. Recently, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was identified as a cancer biomarker due to its continued release from cancer cells compared to normal cells. The precise monitoring and quantification of H2O2 are hindered by its low concentration and the limit of detection (LOD) in traditional sensing methods. Plasmon-assisted electrochemical sensors with their high sensitivity and low LOD make a suitable candidate for effective detection of H2O2, yet their electrical properties need to be improved. Here, we propose a new nanostructured microfluidic device for ultrasensitive, quantitative detection of H2O2 released from cancer cells in a portable fashion. The fluidic device features a series of self-organized gold nanocavities, enhanced with graphene nanosheets having optoelectrical properties, which facilitate the plasmon-assisted electrochemical detection of H2O2 released from human cells. Remarkably, the device can successfully measure the released H2O2 from breast cancer (MCF-7) and prostate cancer (PC3) cells in human plasma. Briefly, direct amperometric detection of H2O2 under simulated visible light illumination showed a superb LOD of 1 pM in a linear range of 1 pM-10 μM. We thoroughly studied the formation of self-organized plasmonic nanocavities on gold electrodes via surface and photo-electrochemical characterization techniques. In addition, the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulation of the electric field demonstrates the intensity of charge distribution at the nanocavity structure edges under visible light illumination. The superb LOD of the proposed electrode combining gold plasmonic nanocavities and graphene sheets paves the way for the development of non-invasive plasmon-assisted electrochemical sensors that can effectively detect low concentrations of H2O2 released from cancer cells.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have supported important technological advances due to their unique properties and their applicability in various fields, such as biomedicine, catalysis, environment, energy, and electronics. This has triggered a tremendous increase in their demand. In turn, materials scientists have sought facile methods to produce nanomaterials of desired features, i.e., morphology, composition, colloidal stability, and surface chemistry, as these determine the targeted application. The advent of photoprocesses has enabled the easy, fast, scalable, and cost- and energy-effective production of metallic nanoparticles of controlled properties without the use of harmful reagents or sophisticated equipment. Herein, we overview the synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles via photochemical routes. We extensively discuss the effect of varying the experimental parameters, such as the pH, exposure time, and source of irradiation, the use or not of reductants and surfactants, reagents' nature and concentration, on the outcomes of these noble nanoparticles, namely, their size, shape, and colloidal stability. The hypothetical mechanisms that govern these green processes are discussed whenever available. Finally, we mention their applications and insights for future developments.

Glucose Sensor Using Redox Active Oligonucleotide-Templated Silver Nanoclusters. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9081065.

Abstract
Redox active, photoluminescent silver nanoclusters templated with oligonucleotides were developed for glucose sensing. The silver nanoclusters had a photoluminescent emission at 610 nm that reversibly changed to 530 nm upon oxidation. The reversible emission change was measured with photoluminescent spectroscopy and used to detect H2O2, which is a by-product of the reaction of glucose with glucose oxidase. The ratio of the un-oxidised emission peak (610 nm) and the oxidised analogue (530 nm) was used to measure glucose concentrations up to 20 mM, well within glucose levels found in blood. Also, the reversibility of this system enables the silver nanoclusters to be reused.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles have attracted more and more attention in the last years due to their unique chemical and physical properties which are very different from the metal bulk material. In particular, when the size of nanoparticles decreases below two nm, nanoparticles can be described as nanoclusters (NCs), and they present peculiar optical properties. The excited electrons in addition to specific absorption bands show also a bright luminescence related to the quantum size effect which produce discrete energy levels. Optical properties (absorption and fluorescence) of these NCs are widely used in many different applications in science and engineering, such as chemical sensors, fluorescent probes for bio imaging or in environmental issues. In the present study, we report on the synthesis of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) in aqueous phase using silver nitrate as precursor salt and L-Glutathione (GSH) as stabilizer. AgNCs were characterized using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The strong absorption and luminescence shown by these NCs are very promising for a possible exploitation both as label for bioimaging and for optical sensors for heavy metal ions.

Abstract
Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) is a useful tool in glycoproteomic analysis. Glutathione (GSH) is a well-known zwitterionic tripeptide with great hydrophilicity and biocompatibility and is ubiquitous in biological activities. In this study, a hydrophilic metal-organic framework (denoted as mMOF@Au@GSH) was synthesized by grafting glutathione on Au-immobilized magnetic MOFs via the affinity between the thiol group in glutathione and Au. Endowed with the high hydrophilicity of glutathione, the large surface area of the MOF and strong magnetic responsiveness of magnetic nanoparticles, the as-prepared mMOF@Au@GSH exhibited high selectivity (1 : 100) and great sensitivity (0.5 fmol μL-1) towards glycopeptides. Furthermore, it also achieved outstanding performance in enriching glycopeptides from complex biological samples. In all, 273 glycopeptides corresponding to 94 glycoproteins were identified from only 2 μL human serum.
