PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 296:122665. [PMID: 37011439 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.122665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Revised: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) consisting of gold (AuNPs) as the core and silver (AgNPs) as the shell have been synthesized and applied as the nanoprobe for detection of fluvoxamine (FXM) as the anti-depression drug. The physicochemical properties of the prepared citrate-capped Au@Ag core-shell NPs have been characterized by UV-Vis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. The design of the smartphone-based colorimetric FXM sensor relies on the fast hydrolysis of FXM under alkaline conditions by producing of 2-(Aminooxy)ethanamine without any significant peak at 400-700 nm. The interaction of the resulted molecule with the nanoprobe induced a red shift in the longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak of the nanoprobe, which was accompanied by sharp and vivid color variations in the solution. A linear relationship between the absorption signal increasing by FXM concentration increasing from 1 µM to 10 µM presented a simple, low cost and minimally instrumented format for FXM quantification with a limit of detection (LOD) of 100 nM. The collected visual data with the elegant colorimetric response of the nanoprobe in the presence of FXM from Indian red to light red violet and bluish-purple color offered simple detection of FXM with the naked eye. The satisfactory results of the proposed cost-effective sensor in the rapid assay of FXM in human serum, urine, saliva and pharmaceutical samples guarantee the potential of the nanoprobe for on-site and visual determination of FXM in actual samples. The proposed sensor as the first non-invasive FXM sensor for saliva sample analysis may hold great promise to provide the technical support for the rapid and valid detection of FXM for forensic medicine and clinical organizations.

Abstract
The catalytic properties of bimetallic nanoparticles have been widely studied by researchers in many fields. In this paper, core-shell Cu/Au nanoparticles (Cu/Au NPs) were synthesized by a simple and mild one-pot method, and their peroxidase activity was proved by catalyzing the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with color change to blue. The change of solution color and absorbance strongly depends on the concentration of H2O2, so it can be used for direct detection of H2O2 and indirect detection of glucose. What's more, GSH can efficiently react with the hydroxyl radicals from H2O2 catalyzed by core-shell Cu/Au NPs to inhibit the production of ox-TMB. Thus, the concentration of GSH can be determined by the decrease in the absorbance of the solution at 652 nm. The results showed that our proposed strategy had good detection range and detection limit for the detection of glucose and GSH. This method has been used in the detection of practical samples and has great application potential in environmental monitoring and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The steroidal glycoalkaloid α-tomatine (αTM) and its aglycone tomatidine (TD) are abundant in the skin of unripe green tomato and present in tomato leaves and flowers. They mainly serve as defensive agents to protect the plant against infections by insects, bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi. In addition, the two products display a range of pharmacological properties potentially useful to treat various human diseases. We have analyzed all known pharmacological activities of αTM and TD, and the corresponding molecular targets and pathways impacted by these two steroidal alkaloids. In experimental models, αTM displays anticancer effects, particularly strong against androgen-independent prostate cancer, as well as robust antifungal effects. αTM is a potent cholesterol binder, useful as a vaccine adjuvant to improve delivery of protein antigens or therapeutic oligonucleotides. TD is a much less cytotoxic compound, able to restrict the spread of certain viruses (such as dengue, chikungunya and porcine epidemic diarrhea viruses) and to provide cardio and neuro-protective effects toward human cells. Both αTM and TD exhibit marked anti-inflammatory activities. They proceed through multiple signaling pathways and protein targets, including the sterol C24 methyltransferase Erg6 and vitamin D receptor, both directly targeted by TD. αTM is a powerful regulator of the NFkB/ERK signaling pathway implicated in various diseases. Collectively, the analysis shed light on the multitargeted action of αTM/TD and their usefulness as chemo-preventive or chemotherapeutic agents. A novel medicinal application for αTM is proposed.

Abstract
Herein, we report a facile method for cholesterol detection by coupling the peroxidase-like activity of polypyrrole nanoparticles (PPy NPs) and cholesterol oxidase (ChOx). ChOx can catalyze the oxidation of cholesterol to produce H2O2. Subsequently, PPy NPs, as a nanozyme, induce the reaction between H2O2 and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Under optimal conditions, the increase is proportional to cholesterol with concentrations from 10 to 800 μM in absorbance of TMB at 652 nm. The linear range for cholesterol is 10-100 μM, with a detection limit of 3.5 μM. This reported method is successfully employed for detection of cholesterol in human serum. The recovery percentage is ranged within 96-106.9%. Furthermore, we designed a facile and simple portable assay kit using the proposed system, realizing the on-site semiquantitative and visual detection of cholesterol in human serum. The cholesterol content detected from the portable assay kit were closely matching those obtained results from solution-based assays, thereby holding great potential in clinical diagnosis and health management.

Abstract
Inhibition of cancer can occur via apoptosis, a genetically directed process of cell self-destruction that involves numerous biomarkers and signaling pathways. Glycoalkaloids are nitrogen-containing secondary plant metabolites found in numerous Solanaceous plants including eggplants, potatoes, and tomatoes. Exposure of cancer cells to glycoalkaloids produced by eggplants (α-solamargine and α-solasonine), potatoes (α-chaconine and α-solanine), and tomatoes (α-tomatine) or their hydrolysis products (mono-, di-, and trisaccharide derivatives and the aglycones solasodine, solanidine, and tomatidine) inhibits the growth of the cells in culture (in vitro) as well as tumor growth in vivo. This overview comprehensively surveys and consolidates worldwide efforts to define the following aspects of these natural compounds: (a) their prevalence in the three foods; (b) their chemistry and structure-activity relationships; (c) the reported factors (biomarkers, signaling pathways) associated with apoptosis of bone, breast, cervical, colon, gastric, glioblastoma, leukemia, liver, lung, lymphoma, melanoma, pancreas, prostate, and squamous cell carcinoma cell lines in vitro and the in vivo inhibition of tumor formation and growth in fish and mice and in human skin cancers; and (d) future research needs. The described results may make it possible to better relate the structures of the active compounds to their health-promoting function, individually, in combination, and in food, and allow the consumer to select glycoalkaloid-containing food with the optimal content of nontoxic beneficial compounds. The described findings are expected to be a valuable record and resource for further investigation of the health benefits of food-related natural compounds.
