Abstract
Monitoring small amount of endocrine disrupting chemical, estradiol (E2) residue in environmental and biological samples is extremely important because of its possible connections to breast and prostate malignancies and gastrointestinal disorders. The newly synthesized graphene-coated silver nanoparticles (GN@Ag) decorated on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-based hybrid nanomaterial (GN@Ag/g-C3N4) was used to modify glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for electroanalytical measurement of E2. The GN@Ag/g-C3N4 nanocomposite prepared through ultrasonic-assisted reflux methodology was characterized using various physicochemical methods. The scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy have shown that GN@Ag nanoparticles were decorated and randomly dispersed over g-C3N4 sheets. The exceptional electrochemical response towards the oxidation of E2 was observed through cyclic voltammetry due to the quick electron transfer ability and superior conductivity of GN@Ag/g-C3N4/GCE. The detection limit was found to be 0.002 μM with wide linear range of E2 concentration (0.005-8.0 μM) along with remarkable stability of the fabricated electrode for 21 days showing 91% retention in initial current. The kinetic parameters such as catalytic rate constant and diffusion coefficient for E2 were estimated to be 1.1 × 105 M-1 s-1 and 1.9 × 10-4 cm2 s-1, respectively, by employing chronoamperometry. The proposed sensor also demonstrated its practical applicability for E2 determination in environmental and biological samples with a recovery range of 95-104%. Furthermore, the developed sensing platform is much better compared to reported methods in terms of simplicity, accuracy, detection limit, linearity range, and usefulness in real sample for E2 sensing.

Galvão JCR, Araujo MDS, Prete MC, Neto VL, Dall’Antonia LH, Matos R, Tarley CRT, Medeiros RA. Electrochemical Determination of 17-β-Estradiol Using a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with α-Fe 2O 3 Nanoparticles Supported on Carbon Nanotubes. Molecules 2023; 28:6372. [PMID: 37687201 PMCID: PMC10489867 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28176372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a novel electrochemical assay for determining 17-β-estradiol (E2) was proposed. The approach involves modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with a nanocomposite consisting of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-denoted as α-Fe2O3-CNT/GCE. The synthesis of the α-Fe2O3-CNT nanocomposite was achieved through a simple and cost-effective hydrothermal process. Morphological and chemical characterization were conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The presence of the α-Fe2O3-CNT film on the GCE surface resulted in an enhanced electrochemical response to E2, preventing electrode surface fouling and mitigating the decrease in peak current intensity during E2 oxidation. These outcomes substantiate the rationale behind the GCE modification. After the optimization of experimental conditions, E2 was determined by the square wave voltammetry technique using 0.1 mol L-1 KCl solution (pH = 7.0) with 20% ethanol as a supporting electrolyte. A linear concentration range of 5.0-100.0 nmol L-1 and a low limit of detection of 4.4 nmol L-1 were obtained. The electroanalytical method using α-Fe2O3-CNT/GCE was applied for E2 determination in pharmaceutical, lake water, and synthetic urine samples. The obtained results were attested by recovery tests and by high-performance liquid chromatography as a comparative technique at a 95% confidence level. Thus, the developed electrochemical sensor is simple and fast to obtain, presents high accuracy, and is viable for determining E2 in routine analysis.

Abstract
Olivetol is an important polyphenol compound and intermediate in the synthesis of cannabinoids possessing many types of biological activities. A facile electrochemical sensor for olivetol was fabricated based on p-L-serine, and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles modified carbon paste electrode (p-L-serine/CuO/CPE). The proposed p-L-serine/CuO/CPE was applied to the electrochemical detection of olivetol by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetric (DPV). Through the characterizations of materials and modified electrodes, the p-L-serine/CuO/CPE exhibited enhanced electrochemical signals for olivetol compared to bare CPE and CuO/CPE in both CV and DPV methods. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed p-L-serine/CuO/CPE showed a good quantitative analysis ability and a wide analysis range from 20 to 100 μmol L-1 of olivetol with a limit of detection of 1.04 μmol L-1. Based on the reproducibility, repeatability, and stability exhibited by this fabricated sensor and the cheap and accessible raw materials, the p-L-serine/CuO/CPE became a novel determination choice for olivetol in the electrochemical method with the advantages of being cost-effective and convenient.

Abstract
This article presents advances in the electrochemical determination of hormones and steroids since 2000. A wide spectrum of techniques and working electrodes have been involved in the reported measurements in order to obtain the lowest possible limits of detection. The voltammetric and polarographic techniques, due to their sensitivity and easiness, could be used as alternatives to other, more complicated, analytical assays. Still, growing interest in designing a new construction of the working electrodes enables us to prepare new measurement procedures and obtain lower limits of detection. A brief description of the measured compounds has been presented, along with a comparison of the obtained results.

Abstract
17β-estradiol (E2) residues could enrich in organisms via food chain and lead to harmful biological effects for human body. To ascertain the binding domain of original E2 aptamer (E00) with long-sequence (76-mer), we developed novel truncated aptamers from E00, through rationally designed truncation by intercepting a single ring or a combination of rings (containing hairpin loop, interior loop or multiloop) at different sites and retaining appropriate double helix regions. Through comparison, 15-mer E09 presented improved affinity and higher specificity, indicating the hairpin loop near to 3' end of E00 served on the binding domain to E2. E09 was used for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based colorimetric determination of E2, achieved the detection limit of 0.02 μg/mL. The truncated aptamer (only 15-mer) first proposed in this study has great application potential in E2 determination, and this work provides proof-of-concept study for truncation of other long-sequence aptamers.

Abstract
This work focuses on the evaluation of the degradation of 17β-estradiol in a mixture of synthetic urine and methanol, trying to determine in which conditions the hormone can be more easily degraded than the urine compounds. This is in the frame of an overall study in which the pre-concentration stage with adsorption/desorption technology is evaluated to improve electrolysis efficiency. Results show that this pollutant can be efficiently removed from mixtures of urine/methanol by electrolysis with diamond electrodes. This removal is simultaneous with the removal of uric acid (used as a model of natural pollutants of urine) and leads to the formation of other organic species that behave as intermediates. This opens the possibility of using a concentration strategy based on the adsorption of pollutants using granular activated carbon and their later desorption in methanol. Despite methanol being a hydroxyl radical scavenger, the electrolysis is found to be very efficient and, in the best case, current charges lower than 7 kAh·m−3 were enough to completely deplete the hormone from urine. Increases in the operation current density lead to faster but less efficient removal of the 17β-estradiol, while increases in the operation flowrate do not markedly affect the efficiency in the removal. Degradation of 17β-estradiol is favored with respect to that of uric acid at low current densities and at high flowrates. In those conditions, direct oxidation processes on the surface of the anode are encouraged. This means that these direct processes can have a higher influence on the degradability of the hazardous species and opens the possibility for the development of selective oxidation processes, with a great economic impact on the degradation of the hazardousness of hospitalary wastewater.

Abstract
This paper reports the application of a carbon paste electrode modified with magnetite nanoparticles and the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate in the electroanalytical determination of 17β-estradiol and estriol. These estrogens are potential endocrine disruptors and thus it is relevant the development of devices for their monitoring. Transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and zeta potential techniques were applied to characterization of the modifier materials. In cyclic voltammetry experiments, irreversible oxidation peaks were observed for 17β-estradiol and estriol at +0.320 V and +0.400 V, respectively. The anodic currents obtained were approximately three times greater than those provided by the unmodified electrode due to the presence of magnetic nanoparticles and the ionic liquid, which improved the sensitivity of modified electrode. For the analysis, the parameters of the square-wave voltammetry (scan increment, amplitude and frequency) were optimized by Box-Behnken factorial design for each estrogen. For 17β-estradiol in B-R buffer pH 12.0, the calibration plot was linear from 0.10 to 1.0 μmol L-1, with a detection limit of 50.0 nmol L-1. For estriol in B-R buffer pH 11.0, the linear range was 1.0 to 10.0 μmol L-1, with a detection limit of 300.0 nmol L-1. The modified electrode was applied in the determination of 17β-estradiol and estriol in pharmaceutical formulations and the results were comparable to those obtained using UV/VIS spectrometry. Statistical tests were applied to evaluate the results and it was concluded that there was no significant difference regarding the precision and accuracy of the data provided by the two methods.

Abstract
A convenient electrochemical sensing pathway for 17β-estradiol detection was investigated. The system is based on a conducting polymer and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) modified platinum (Pt) electrode. The miniature estradiol biosensor was developed and constructed through the immobilization of HRP in an electroactive surface of the electrode covered with electroconducting polymer – poly(4,7-bis(5-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)thiophen-2-yl)benzothiadiazole). The detection strategy is based on the fact that 17β-estradiol (E2) and pyrocatechol (H2Q) are co-substrates for the HRP enzyme. HRP, which does not react with E2, in the presence of H2O2 catalyses the oxidation of H2Q to o-benzoquinone (Q). With the optimized conditions, such constructed biosensing system demonstrated a convenient level of sensitivity, selectivity in a broad linear range – 0.1 to 200 μM with a detection limit of 105 nM. Furthermore, the method was successfully applied for hormone detection in the presence of potential interfering compounds (ascorbic acid, estriol, estrone, uric acid and cholesterol). A convenient electrochemical sensing pathway for 17β-estradiol detection was investigated.![]()
