Molecules 2024; 29:2117. [PMID: 38731608 PMCID: PMC11085296 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29092117] [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: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
In this paper, Cu-BTC derived mesoporous CuS nanomaterial (m-CuS) was synthesized via a two-step process involving carbonization and sulfidation of Cu-BTC for colorimetric glutathione detection. The Cu-BTC was constructed by 1,3,5-benzenetri-carboxylic acid (H3BTC) and Cu2+ ions. The obtained m-CuS showed a large specific surface area (55.751 m2/g), pore volume (0.153 cm3/g), and pore diameter (15.380 nm). In addition, the synthesized m-CuS exhibited high peroxidase-like activity and could catalyze oxidation of the colorless substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine to a blue product. Peroxidase-like activity mechanism studies using terephthalic acid as a fluorescent probe proved that m-CuS assists H2O2 decomposition to reactive oxygen species, which are responsible for TMB oxidation. However, the catalytic activity of m-CuS for the oxidation of TMB by H2O2 could be potently inhibited in the presence of glutathione. Based on this phenomenon, the colorimetric detection of glutathione was demonstrated with good selectivity and high sensitivity. The linear range was 1-20 μM and 20-300 μM with a detection limit of 0.1 μM. The m-CuS showing good stability and robust peroxidase catalytic activity was applied for the detection of glutathione in human urine samples.

Abstract
Development of rapid colorimetric methods based on novel optical-active metal nanomaterials has provided methods for the detection of ions, biomarkers, cancers, etc. Fluorescent metal nanoclusters (FMNCs) have gained a lot of attention due to their unique physical, chemical, and optical properties providing numerous applications from rapid and sensitive detection to cellular imaging. However, because of very small color changes, their colorimetric applications for developing rapid tests based on the naked eye or simple UV-vis absorption spectrophotometry are still limited. FMNCs with peroxidase-like activity have significant potential in a wide variety of applications, especially for point-of-care diagnostics. In this review, the effect of using various capping agents and metals for the preparation of nanoclusters in their colorimetric sensing properties is explored, and the synthesis and detection mechanisms and the recent advances in their application for ultrasensitive chemical and biological analysis regarding human health are highlighted. Finally, the challenges that remain as well as the future perspectives are briefly discussed. Overcoming these limitations will allow us to expand the nanocluster's application for colorimetric diagnostic purposes in medical practice.

Abstract
Recently, single atom catalysts (SACs) featuring M-Nx (M = metal) active sites on carbon support have drawn considerable attention due to their promising enzyme-like catalytic properties. However, typical synthesis methods of SACs often involve energy-intensive carbonization processes. Herein, we report a facile one-pot, low-temperature, wet impregnation method to fully utilize M-N4 sites of manganese phthalocyanine (MnPc) by decorating molecular MnPc over the sheets of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP). The synthesized MnPc@GNP exhibits remarkable peroxidase-mimic catalytic activity toward the oxidation of chromogenic 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate owing to the efficient utilization of atomically dispersed Mn and the high surface-to-volume ratio of the porous catalyst. A nanozyme-based colorimetric sensing probe is developed to detect important biomarker glutathione (GSH) within only 5 min in solution phase based on the ability of GSH to effectively inhibit the TMB oxidation. The high sensitivity and selectivity of the developed colorimetric assay enable us to quantitatively determine GSH concentration in different biological fluids. This work, for the first time, reports a rapid MnPc@GNP nanozyme-based colorimetric assay in the solid substrate by fabricating microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs). GSH is successfully detected on the fabricated μPADs coated with only 6.0 μg of nanozyme containing 1.6 nmol of Mn in the linear range of 0.5-10 μM with a limit of detection of 1.23 μM. This work also demonstrates the quantitative detection of GSH in mice liver tissue lysate using μPADs, which paves the way to develop μPADs for point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Fe-N-C single-atom nanozymes readily achieved discriminative detection of glutathione (GSH) over other biothiols with similar structure due to the difference between POD-like and OXD-like activities regarding the kind of reactive oxygen species. This colorimetric sensor demonstrated the heterogeneity of GSH levels in different cells and accurately monitored cellular GSH fluctuation.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) based gas therapy has emerged as a novel anticancer therapeutic strategy because of its high therapeutic efficacy and biosafety. To precisely adjust the SO2 content and control gas release, herein, a thiol-responsive polypeptide SO2 prodrug mPEG-block-poly(2-amino-6-(2,4-dinitrophenylsulfonamido)hexanoic acid) (PEG-b-PLys-DNs) was designed and facilely synthesized by polymerization of a novel N-carboxyanhydride SO2-NCA. The anticancer potential of the self-assembled nanoparticles (SO2-NPs) was investigated in detail. First, PEG-b-PLys-DNs were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of SO2-NCA, which self-assembled into NPs sized 88.4 nm in aqueous. Subsequently, SO2-NPs were endocytosed into 4T1 cells and quickly released SO2 under a high concentration of glutathione in tumor cells. This process depleted cellular glutathione, generated reactive oxygen species, and dramatically increased oxidative stress, which led to cancer cell apoptosis. Finally, the in vivo anticancer efficacy of SO2-NPs was verified in 4T1-tumor-bearing mice. Our results indicated that this novel SO2 polymeric prodrug has great potential in eradicating tumors.

Abstract
To detect cytochrome c (Cyt c) as an important biomarker of apoptosis inside the cells, a simple, label-free, fluorometric detection method has been presented. For this purpose, an aptamer/gold nanocluster probe (Aptamer@AuNCs) was produced which could specifically bind to Cyt c leading to fluorescence quenching of AuNCs. The developed aptasensor showed two linear ranges of 1-80 μM and 100-1000 μM and a detection limit of 0.77 μM and 297.5 μM, respectively. This platform was successfully used to assay Cyt c release inside the apoptotic cells and their cell lysate. Aptamer@AuNC due to its enzyme-like properties could replace antibodies in Cyt c detection by conventional blotting techniques.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) have drawn ever-increasing attention due to their maximum atom utilization efficiency and enhanced enzyme-like activity. Herein, a facile pyrolysis strategy is reported for the synthesis of the iron-nitrogen-carbon (Fe-N-C) SAzyme using ferrocene trapped within porous zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8@Fc) as a precursor. The as-prepared Fe-N-C SAzyme exhibited exceptional oxidase-mimicking activity, catalytically oxidizing 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with high affinity (Km) and fast reaction rate (Vmax). Taking advantage of this property, we designed two colorimetric sensing assays based on different interaction modes between small molecules and Fe active sites. Firstly, utilizing the reduction activity of ascorbic acid (AA) toward oxidized TMB (TMBox), a colorimetric bioassay for AA detection was established, which exhibited a good linear range of detection from 0.1 to 2 μM and a detection limit as low as 0.1 μM. Additionally, based on the inhibition of nanozyme activity by the thiols of glutathione (GSH), a colorimetric biosensor for GSH detection was constructed, showing a linear response over a concentration range of 1-10 μM, with a detection limit of 1.3 μM. This work provides a promising strategy for rationally designing oxidase-like SAzymes and broadening their application in biosensing.

Abstract
Biothiols play essential roles in balancing the redox state and modulating cellular functions. Fluorescent probes for monitoring/labelling biothiols often suffer from slow reaction rates, strong background fluorescence and cytotoxic byproduct release. Thus, developing facile and versatile probes to overcome the challenges is still in high demand. Here, we report four coumarin-maleimides as fast responding and fluorogenic probes to detect GSH or label peptides/proteins. The probes quantitatively and selectively react with GSH via Michael addition within 1-2 min, achieving an 11-196-fold increase in fluorescence quantum yield via blockage of the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process. Optimized probe 4 is applied for the detection of GSH in vitro (A549 cells) and in vivo (zebrafish embryos). Taking advantage of the fast Michael addition between the maleimide moiety and the sulfhydryl group, we expand the application of our method for fluorescent labelling of peptides/proteins and for tracking their cellular uptake process. The labelling strategy works for both Cys-bearing and Cys-free proteins after the introduction of a sulfhydryl group using Traut's reagent. Fluorescence assay reveals that the TAT-peptide can efficiently enter cells, but H3 protein, part of nucleosomes, prefers to bind on the cell membrane by electrostatic interactions, shedding light on the cellular uptake activity of nucleosomes and affording a potential membrane staining strategy. Overall, our study illustrates the broad potential of coumarin-maleimide based dual-functional probes for GSH detection and versatile protein labelling in biochemical research.

Abstract
In the present work, cytidine 5'-monophosphate capped gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@CMP) are reported as a catalyst for redox reactions, which show both oxidase- and excellent peroxidase-like activity. When employing 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a substrate in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the maximum velocity (Vmax) was 175 × 10-8 M s-1 in vitro. Besides, the AuNCs@CMP exhibited high catalytic activity for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation with H2O2. Particularly, they also displayed excellent catalytic activity for ROS generation in tumor cells, being activated and promoted by the tumor microenvironment (TME). Consequently, the AuNCs@CMP show an excellent antitumor effect on HeLa and SW480 cells as assayed by flow cytometry. The antitumor mechanism of AuNCs@CMP was attributed to the high ROS generation based on the specific environments of the TME. Therefore, the present study provides TME-adaptive AuNCs@CMP with excellent mimetic peroxidase activity, producing significant ROS to kill the tumor cells in TME.

Abstract
Although the application of nanoscale artificial enzymes in various industries is an attractive way to circumvent the intrinsic drawbacks of natural enzymes, their catalytic constant (Kcat) as a critical reaction parameter is far from satisfactory. Presented here is the rational design and fabrication of a unique peroxidase mimic catalyst based upon Pd@PtxRu4-x (1 ≤ x ≤ 3) prepared by coating PtRu alloy as conformal, ultrathin shells on Pd nanocrystals. Benefiting from an optimal Pt/Ru ratio and well-defined {100} facets, together with confining the Pt-Ru alloy to a shell of averagely 3.3-atomic-layer thick (i.e. Pd@Pt-Ru3.3L), the nanocrystals exhibit the highest catalytic activity and kinetics (1.2 × 106 s-1), resulting in a significant increase of catalytic activity compared with the classical PtRu nanozyme (3.6 × 103 s-1) and horseradish peroxidase (4.0 × 103 s-1), respectively. The following density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the origin of the superior catalytic performance could be attributed to the modulation of the adsorption behavior of the key reaction intermediates on the surface. As a proof of concept, its peroxidase mimicking ability is adopted for sensing glucose and glutathione molecules in human serum, with a long linear range and high selectivity. This work opens new horizons for the future development of advanced catalysts based upon alloy nanocrystals for various applications.

Abstract
Seeking for an advanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) platform is still an active and continuous theme in the ECL-sensing realm. This work outlines a femtomolar-level and highly selective glutathione (GSH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ECL assay strategy using a facile split-type gold nanocluster (AuNC) probe-based ECL platform. The system utilizes GSH as an efficient etching agent to turn on the MnO2/AuNC-based ECL nanoswitch platform. This method successfully achieves an ultrasensitive detection of GSH, which significantly outperformed other sensors. Based on the above excellent results, GSH-related biological assays have been further established by taking ATP as a model. Combined with the high catalytic oxidation ability of DNAzyme, this ECL sensor can realize ATP assay as low as 1.4 fmol without other complicated exonuclease amplification strategies. Thus, we successfully achieved an ultrahigh sensitivity, extremely wide dynamic range, great simplicity, and strong anti-interference detection of ATP. In addition, the actual sample detection for GSH and ATP exhibits satisfactory results. We believe that our proposed high-performance platform will provide more possibilities for the detection of other GSH-related substances and show great prospect in disease diagnosis and biochemical research.

Abstract
Photothermal (PT)-enhanced Fenton-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted a significant amount of research attention over the last five years as a highly effective, safe, and tumor-specific nanomedicine-based therapy. CDT is a new emerging nanocatalyst-based therapeutic strategy for the in situ treatment of tumors via the Fenton reaction or Fenton-like reaction, which has got fast progress in recent years because of its high specificity and activation by endogenous substances. A variety of multifunctional nanomaterials such as metal-, metal oxide-, and metal-sulfide-based nanocatalysts have been designed and constructed to trigger the in situ Fenton or Fenton-like reaction within the tumor microenvironment (TME) to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which is highly efficient for the killing of tumor cells. However, research is still required to enhance the curative outcomes and minimize its side effects. Specifically, the therapeutic efficiency of certain CDTs is still hindered by the TME, including low levels of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), overexpression of reduced glutathione (GSH), and low catalytic efficacy of Fenton or Fenton-like reactions (pH 5.6-6.8), which makes it difficult to completely cure cancer using monotherapy. For this reason, photothermal therapy (PTT) has been utilized in combination with CDT to enhance therapeutic efficacy. More interestingly, tumor heating during PTT not only causes damage to the tumor cells but can also accelerate the generation of •OH via the Fenton and Fenton-like reactions, thus enhancing the CDT efficacy, providing more effective cancer treatment when compared with monotherapy. Currently, synergistic PT-enhanced CDT using multifunctional nanomaterials with both PT and chemodynamic properties has made enormous progress in cancer theranostics. However, there has been no comprehensive review on this subject published to date. In this review, we first summarize the recent progress in PT-enhanced Fenton-based CDT for cancer treatment. We then discuss the potential and challenges in the future development of PT-enhanced Fenton-based nanocatalytic tumor therapy for clinical application.

Abstract
Peroxidases are present widely in microorganisms and plants, and catalyze many reactions. However, the activity of natural peroxidases is susceptible to external conditions. We prepared carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) using an environmentally friendly and simple method. These CNPs were demonstrated to possess intrinsic peroxidase-like activity. CNPs could catalyze the reaction of a peroxidase substrate, 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), in the presence of H2O2 to produce a blue solution at 652 nm. CNPs exhibited higher peroxidase activity than that of other carbon-based nanomaterials. Moreover, CNPs retained their high peroxidase activity after being reused several times. Glutathione (GSH) can change the blue color of oxidized TMB into a colorless hue at 652 nm. Based on this fact, qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed to detect GSH using a colorimetric method. This method showed a broad detection range (2.5–50 μM) with a limit of detection of 0.26 μM. This method was shown to be accurate for GSH detection in a cell culture medium compared with that using a commercial assay kit. Our findings could facilitate application of CNPs in biomedical areas. Peroxidases are present widely in microorganisms and plants, and catalyze many reactions.![]()

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
In recent decades, artificial nanozymes with excellent stability, low cost and availability have been gradually explored to avoid the limits of natural enzymes such as poor stability, high cost and difficult preparation. Herein, for the first time, we investigated the capability of nanoscale Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) as a nanozyme, which was quickly synthesized in situ by a microwave-assisted method within 20 min using Fe3O4 as the metal precursor. The obtained Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) showed satisfactory intrinsic dual enzyme mimetic activities, including peroxidase (POD)- and catalase (CAT)-like activities. Moreover, a simple and effective colorimetric biosensor was fabricated to detect glutathione (GSH) based on its POD-like activity. The proposed measurement had a linear range of 1-45 μM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.26 μM (3.3 δ/S). It was proved that the established colorimetric sensing system could be successfully applied to detect GSH in actual biological samples. Importantly, the outstanding reusability and stability made it extremely valuable as a catalyst. The present work implied that Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) synthesized in situ by the microwave-assisted method was a very promising candidate for biocatalyst and biosensing.

Abstract
The assessment of glutathione (GSH) levels is associated with early diagnostics and pathological analysis for various disorders. Among all kinds of techniques for detecting GSH, the colorimetric assay relying on the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) catalyzed by many nanomaterials with peroxidase-like activity attracts increasing attention owing to its outstanding merits, such as high sensitivity and high selectivity. However, the aggregation between the nanomaterials severely hinders the entrance of TMB into the “active site” of these peroxidase mimics. To address this problem, the D-amino acid incorporated nanoflowers possessing peroxidase-like activity with a diameter of 10–15 μm, TMB and H2O2 were employed to establish the detection system for determining the level of glutathione. The larger diameter size of the hybrid nanoflowers substantially averts the aggregation between them. The results confirm that the hybrid nanoflowers detection system presents a low limit of detection, wide linear range, perfect selectivity, good storage stability and desired operational stability for the detection of GSH relying on the intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and favorable mechanical stability of the hybrid nanoflowers, indicating that the hybrid nanoflowers detection system has tremendous application potential in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Adv Healthc Mater 2021; 10:e2100412. [PMID: 34075731 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202100412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) efficacy has been limited by the poor penetration ability of large nanoparticles (NPs) and the antioxidant activity of tumors, especially high heme oxygenase (HO-1) and glutathione (GSH) levels. Herein, PEGylated CuMoOx -coated and zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZP)-loaded Cu (CCMZ) NPs are designed to afford rapid degradation ability and augmented CDT efficacy through inhibiting HO-1 activity and depleting GSH. The deep penetration of tumor can be achieved under the high levels of GSH, which triggers the degradation of CuMoOx shell. Meanwhile, GSH itself is depleted, which converts the reductive environment into constant oxidative environment, thus leading to the degradation of Cu core. Furthermore, the release of ZP from CCMZ NPs can inhibit HO-1 activity and provide a favorable microenvironment for CDT, and the release of Cu and Mo ions can convert hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radical to eliminate tumor cells more efficiently. In addition, CCMZ NPs also play an immune vaccine-like effect to recruit different immune cells for antitumor immunotherapy. In vitro and in vivo studies prove the augmented CDT property of CCMZ NPs, supplying a new strategy for improving CDT efficacy.

Abstract
In order to improve their bioapplications, inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are usually functionalized with specific biomolecules. Peptides with short amino acid sequences have attracted great attention in the NP functionalization since they are easy to be synthesized on a large scale by the automatic synthesizer and can integrate various functionalities including specific biorecognition and therapeutic function into one sequence. Conjugation of peptides with NPs can generate novel theranostic/drug delivery nanosystems with active tumor targeting ability and efficient nanosensing platforms for sensitive detection of various analytes, such as heavy metallic ions and biomarkers. Massive studies demonstrate that applications of the peptide-NP bioconjugates can help to achieve the precise diagnosis and therapy of diseases. In particular, the peptide-NP bioconjugates show tremendous potential for development of effective anti-tumor nanomedicines. This review provides an overview of the effects of properties of peptide functionalized NPs on precise diagnostics and therapy of cancers through summarizing the recent publications on the applications of peptide-NP bioconjugates for biomarkers (antigens and enzymes) and carcinogens (e.g., heavy metallic ions) detection, drug delivery, and imaging-guided therapy. The current challenges and future prospects of the subject are also discussed.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione oxidized (GSSG) usually relates to some diseases, thus quantifying the amount of GSH or GSSG is of great significance. A label-free sensing assay based on the enzyme-mimicking property of Cytidine-Au nanoclusters (Cy-AuNCs) was demonstrated for colorimetric detection of GSH, GSSG and glutathione reductase (GR). Firstly, obvious blue color accompanied with an absorption peak at 652 nm was observed due to the high peroxidase-like activity of Cy-AuNCs toward 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Then, in the presence of target, the mimetic activity of Cy-AuNCs could be strongly inhibited and used to achieve the visualization detection. The inhibition effect arose from the surface interaction between GSH and Cy-AuNCs. Linear relationships between absorbance response and concentration were obtained between 0 and 0.4 mM for GSH, 0-2.5 mM for GSSG and 0-0.2 U/mL for GR. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated as low as 0.01 mM, 0.03 mM and 0.003 U/mL for GSH, GSSG and GR, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed method displayed rapid response, easy procedure and high selectivity.

Abstract
Colorimetric sensors for the rapid detection of numerous analytes have been widely applied in many fields such as biomedicine, food industry and environmental science due to their highly sensitive and selective response, easy operation and visual identification by naked eyes. In this review, the recent progress of the colorimetric sensors based on the magnetic nanomaterials with unique nanozymes-like catalytic activity (magnetic nanozyme) and their colorimetric sensing applications are presented. Emerging magnetic nanozyme-based colorimetric sensors, such as metal oxide/sulfides-based, metal-based, carbon-based, and aptamer-conjugated magnetic nanomaterials, offer many desirable features for target analytes detection. And due to the unique nanoscale physical-chemical properties, magnetic nanozymes have been used to mimic the catalytic activity of natural enzymes such as peroxidases, oxidases and catalases. This review also highlights the catalytic mechanisms of enzyme-like reactions, and promising colorimetric sensing system for the detection of chemical compounds like H2O2, pesticide, ascorbic acid, dopamine, tetracyclines, perfluorooctane sulfonate, phenolic compounds, heavy metal ion and sulfite have been deeply discussed. In addition, the remaining challenges and future directions in utilizing magnetic nanozyme for colorimetric sensors are addressed.

Abstract
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (At. ferrooxidans) is a bacterium that has the ability to metabolize iron. It converts Fe2+ into Fe3+ during its metabolic cycle. Hence, the At. ferrooxidans spent medium is rich in Fe3+. The presence of Fe3+ contributes to a peroxidase-like activity. Therefore, in this study, an attempt has been made to explore the peroxidase-like activity of the At. ferrooxidans spent medium. It has been observed that the At. ferrooxidans spent medium oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The effect of various process parameters on the peroxidase-like activity has been studied. Optimum peroxidase-like activity is achieved using 5 µl of the spent medium, 0.3 mM TMB concentration, 4 mM H2O2 concentration, 4.2 pH, and 40 °C temperature. The peroxidase-like activity of the At. ferrooxidans spent medium has been used to develop a colorimetric assay for detection of glutathione (GSH). GSH inhibits the peroxidase-like activity of the At. ferrooxidans spent medium in a concentration range of 0-1 mM. The limit of detection (LOD) of GSH, obtained using the calibration plot is 0.69 mM. The developed assay is selective toward GSH, as the presence of amino acids, metals, and sugars have shown a negligible effect on the GSH sensing ability.

Abstract
In this work, we reported a facile and highly sensitive strategy for colorimetric detection of cysteine (Cys) based on the inhibition of catalytic activity of bimetallic nanoclusters induced by Cys. Glutathione-modified gold-platinum nanoclusters (GSH-Au/Pt NCs) with different Au/Pt molar ratios were prepared via one-pot approach and utilized as peroxidase mimics to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2. It has been found that Cys could inhibit the peroxidase-like activity of GSH-Au/Pt NCs efficiently, which leads to a decrease of the absorption intensity of the system at 652 nm with a fading of the blue color. These findings provide a worthy method for visualization and quantitative detection of Cys with different concentrations in the range from 0.5 to 30 μM, and the detection limit is 0.154 μM. Moreover, this method displays a promising application in colorimetric analysis of Cys in urine samples.

Abstract
A nanozyme based on CoFe2O4 modified with MoS2 was constructed for colorimetric determination of cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH). Firstly, ferrite CoFe2O4 is synthesized, and it is then modified by MoS2 to form a flower-like polymer (MoS2@CoFe2O4). In the presence of H2O2, a redox interaction takes place, and the resulting hydroxyl promoted a colorimetric conversion from colorless to blue in the presence of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). However, once Cys or GSH is added, they are capable to compete with the interaction of the hydroxyl with TMB, resulting in an inhibition of the colorimetric conversion. The colorimetric distinction is sensitive to the amount of target. The results obtained proved that the catalytic efficiency of MoS2@CoFe2O4 is 4.4-fold and 1.8-fold to that of MoS2 and CoFe2O4. Meanwhile, the Km values to TMB and H2O2 are 0.067 and 0.048 mM, respectively, which are 6.5-fold and 77-fold, respectively smaller than those of natural peroxidase such as HPR. This indicates that the MoS2@CoFe2O4 possesses a favorable interaction affinity. Additionally, the colorimetric distinction caused by the competition between TMB and cysteine or glutathione is obvious. The signal responses to cysteine and glutathione are linear in the range 0.5~15 μM and 0.5~35 μM, and the LODs are 0.10 and 0.21 μM, respectively. In practical assay of Cys in serum, the RSD of the sample tests is 4.6%, and the recoveries for the spiked assays are 95.3% and 96.0% with the RSD of 2.1% and 4.2%, respectively.

Abstract
The early diagnosis of cancer can significantly improve patient survival rates. Colorimetric methods for real-time naked-eye detection have aroused growing interest owing to their low cost, simplicity, and practicability. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, compared with conventional diagnostic methods, nanomaterials with unique physical and chemical properties were applied to improve selectivity and sensitivity in colorimetric detection of cancer biomarkers, such as MUC1 aptamer conjugated PtAuNPs to specifically recognize MUC1 proteins on the cancer cell surfaces, etching of silver nanoprisms to detect prostate-specific antigen, and aggregation or dispersion of AuNPs to sense prostate cancer antigen gene 3 or glutathione, by which the limit of detection (LOD) could approach values down to a few cancer cells per mL, several fg per mL proteins, several ng of nucleic acids, or even tens of nM of organic molecules. Herein, we review the recent progress achieved in developing colorimetric nanosensors for cancer diagnosis, particularly providing an overview of the sensing principles, target biomarkers, advanced nanomaterials employed in the fabrication of sensing platforms, and strategies for improving signal sensitivity and specificity. Finally, we sum up the nanomaterial-based colorimetric cancer detection as well as existing challenges that should be resolved to extend their clinical application.

Abstract
A nanozyme for glutathione (GSH) detection in a broad concentration range was synthesized. GSH is usually detected up to an upper limit of 100 μM using current noble metal nanozymes due to the sharp decrease in the colorimetric response with the increasing GSH concentration. Strong inhibition of colorimetric reactions by GSH adsorbed onto noble metal based nanozymes in the form of non-porous, nanoscale particulate materials dispersed in an aqueous medium is the reason for the sharp decrease in the colorimetric response. In the present study, a new magnetic nanozyme synthesized by immobilization of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) on magnetic, monodisperse porous silica microspheres (>5 μm) obtained by a "staged-shape templating sol-gel protocol" exhibited peroxidase-like activity up to a GSH concentration of 5000 μM. A more controlled linear decrease in the peroxidase-like activity with a lower slope with respect to that of similar nanozymes was observed with the increasing GSH concentration. The proposed design allowed the GSH detection in a broader concentration range depending on the adsorption of GSH onto the Au NPs immobilized on magnetic, monodisperse porous silica microspheres. A calibration plot allowing the detection of GSH in a broad concentration range up to 3300 μM was obtained using the magnetic nanozyme. The GSH concentration was also determined in human serum by elevating the upper detection range and adjusting the sensitivity of detection via controlling the nanozyme concentration.

Abstract
The use of nanomaterials as mimic enzymes provides a promising way to implement bio-molecule detection in living systems. However, to achieve highly efficient catalytic processes with gold nanocluster-based nanozymes is still challenging. In this study, a facile reduction method was utilized to synthesize gold nanoclusters with 1-methyl-D-tryptophan as the reducing and capping agent. The obtained gold nanoclusters exhibited a peroxidase-mimicking property in the redox reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine to blue oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine in the presence of H2O2. The addition of norfloxacin endowed the nanozymes with a 10-fold enhancement in catalytic efficiency due to the surface charge-controlled electron transfer modulation. The colorimetric sensing system presented a high selectivity toward norfloxacin. The good linear relationship of norfloxacin monitoring was gained in the range of 1.25~8.0 μM (R2 = 0.996), with a detection limit of 0.2 μM. The practical application of the proposed protocol for the measurement of norfloxacin in capsules was realized. This demonstrates that on account of their significant catalytic efficiency enhancement, the gold nanocluster-based nanozymes hold great promise in realizing the selective detection of drugs.

Abstract
Artificial enzymes have drawn substantial research interest from the scientific community due to their advantages over natural enzymes. However, majority of artificial enzymes exhibit low affinity towards H2O2, which means that a high H2O2 concentration is needed for the oxidation of a substrate such as 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue-colored oxTMB. With this concern, Cu-CuFe2O4 was facilely synthesized, wherein, Cu0 accelerates the redox capacity of Cu-CuFe2O4 as well as the electron transfer between CuFe2O4 and H2O2. These materials induce excellent activity as a peroxidase. Cu-CuFe2O4 shows high affinity towards H2O2 with lower Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) than the reported values for ferrites and Horseradish enzyme (HRP). Moreover, it took only 5 min to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glutathione (GSH) through a colorimetric assay using Cu-CuFe2O4. Compared with CuFe2O4, the limit of detection (LOD) is about 90-fold lower for H2O2 using Cu-CuFe2O4. In addition, Cu-CuFe2O4 shows high stability as a nanozyme. Thus, the mechanism of the peroxidase-like nanozyme Cu-CuFe2O4 is proposed.

Abstract
As one of the transition metal dichalcogenide, CoSe2 has received much attention because of its superior physicochemical properties. In this work, a self-templated approach was proposed for constructing CoSe2 hollow microspheres by utilizing ZIF-67 hollow sphere as a template. In the followed selenylation process, selenium vapor reacts with cobalt ion in ZIF-67 to form CoSe2 microspheres. The obtained CoSe2 microspheres retain the cavity of the ZIF-67 and massive uniformly dispersed CoSe2 nanoparticles are embedded throughout carbon walls. The hollow interior and porous structure of CoSe2 microspheres provide an enhanced surface-volume ratio and short charge/mass transfer distance. The CoSe2 microspheres show a typical oxidase-like property able to promote 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation by dissolved oxygen to produce an intensive color reaction. Reactive oxygen species trials demonstrate that ·OH, 1O2 and O2•- radicals coexist in the TMB-CoSe2 system. Based on its inhibitive role, a rapid and ultrasensitive determination of glutathione was reached, showing four orders of magnitude linear range from 0.005 to 10 μM and a limit of detection of 4.62 nM (S/N = 3). The assay has been successfully used to glutathione determination in practical samples.

Abstract
In recent years, the rapid development of nanoscience and technology has provided a new opportunity for the development and preparation of new inorganic enzymes. Nanozyme is a new generation of artificial mimetic enzyme, which like natural enzymes, can efficiently catalyze the substrate of enzyme under mild conditions, exhibiting catalytic efficiency, and enzymatic reaction kinetics similar to natural enzymes. However, nanozymes exist better stability than native enzymes, it can still maintain 85 % catalytic activity in strong acid and alkali (pH 2~10) or large temperature range (4~90°C). This provides conditions for designing complex catalytic systems. In this review, we discussed the enzymatic attributes and biomedical applications of gold nanoclusters, including peroxidase-like, catalase-like, detection of heavy metal ions, and therapy of brain and cancer etc. This review can help us understand the current research status nanozymes.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely studied and applied in the field of tumor diagnosis and treatment because of their special fundamental properties. In order to make AuNPs more suitable for tumor diagnosis and treatment, their natural properties and the interrelationships between these properties should be systematically and profoundly understood. The natural properties of AuNPs were discussed from two aspects: physical and chemical. Among the physical properties of AuNPs, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), radioactivity and high X-ray absorption coefficient are widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. As an advantage over many other nanoparticles in chemicals, AuNPs can form stable chemical bonds with S-and N-containing groups. This allows AuNPs to attach to a wide variety of organic ligands or polymers with a specific function. These surface modifications endow AuNPs with outstanding biocompatibility, targeting and drug delivery capabilities. In this review, we systematically summarized the physicochemical properties of AuNPs and their intrinsic relationships. Then the latest research advancements and the developments of basic research and clinical trials using these properties are summarized. Further, the difficulties to be overcome and possible solutions in the process from basic laboratory research to clinical application are discussed. Finally, the possibility of applying the results to clinical trials was estimated. We hope to provide a reference for peer researchers to better utilize the excellent physicochemical properties of gold nanoparticles in oncotherapy.

Abstract
Due to the lack of early diagnosis, cancer remains as one of the leading cause of human mortality. Inability to translate research into clinical trials and also inability of chemotherapeutics delivery to targeted tumor sites are major drawbacks in cancer therapeutics. With the emergence of nanomedicine, several nanoprobes (conjugated with targeting ligands and chemotherapeutic drugs) are developed. It can interact with biological system and thus sense and monitor the biological events with high efficiency and accuracy along with therapy application. Nanoparticles like gold and iron oxide are frequently used in the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging applications, respectively. Moreover, enzymatic activity of gold and iron oxide nanoparticles enables the visible colorimetric diagnostic of cancer cells, whereas, fluorescence property of quantum dots and upconversion nanoparticles helps in in vivo imaging application. Other than this, drug conjugation with nanoparticles also reduces the systemic toxic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs. Due to their several unique intrinsic properties, nanoparticles itself can also be employed as therapeutics in cancer treatment by photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Thus, the main focus of this review is to emphasize on current progress in diagnostic and therapeutic application of nanoprobes in cancer.

Abstract
Tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) are one kind of broad spectrum bacteriostatic agents. However, excessive use of TCs will have a threat to the environment and human health. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple method for direct detection of TCs. Based on intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), we used TC-specific aptamers (Apt) to improve the catalytic activity of AuNCs toward the peroxidase substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation by H2O2, and established a colorimetric sensing platform for TCs. The catalytic enhancement by Apt allows for sensitive colorimetric detection of TCs, and Apt as molecular recognition elements can specifically combine with TCs leading to high selectivity. This developed sensing platform can quantitatively detect TCs in the concentration range of 1-16 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 46 nM. Interestingly, the naked-eye detection capability of this method is estimated to be 0.5 μM. Finally, the detection of TCs in real samples like drugs and milk was validated.
