Abstract
Phytoestrogens are non-steroidal estrogens produced from plants that can bind with the human body's estrogenic receptor site and be used as a substitute for maintaining hormonal balance. They are mainly classified as flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, stilbenes, and coumestans; some are resocyclic acids of lactones, which are mycotoxins and not natural phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens have many beneficial medicinal properties, making them an important part of the daily diet. Electrochemical sensors are widely used analytical tools for analysing various pharmaceuticals, chemicals, pollutants and food items. Electrochemical sensors provide an extensive platform for highly sensitive and rapid analysis. Several reviews have been published on the importance of the biological and medicinal properties of phytoestrogens. However, this review provides an overview of recent work performed through electrochemical measurements with electrochemical sensors and biosensors for all the classes of phytoestrogens done so far since 2019.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1283:341975. [PMID: 37977793 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Sensitive and convenient determination of gallic acid (GA) is vital for food safety. Here, a novel porphyrin (Cu)-based covalent organic framework named as COF(Cu) was successfully synthesized by condensing pre-metalated 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (para-aminophenyl) porphyrin copper (II) and 2,3,6,7-tetra (4-formylphenyl) tetrathiafulvalene ligands. By combining the advantages of porphyrin with tetrathiafulvalene, it may be possible to create a COF with an intrinsically effective charge-transfer channel. In addition, the Cu-N4 type in the COF(Cu) can be regarded as the single-site electrocatalyst. Benefiting from these advantages, the COF(Cu) based electrochemical sensor demonstrated outstanding response to gallic acid (GA). Under the optimal conditions by square wave voltammetry technique, the COF(Cu) modified electrode showed a wide linear range (0.01-1000 μM), a low detection limit (2.81 nM), good reproducibility, acceptable selectivity as well as high stability. Moreover, the established approach was adopted to detect GA in real tea samples with good recoveries, indicating that the COF(Cu) based electrochemical sensor may pave the way for the application in food analysis.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1283:341907. [PMID: 37977798 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341907] [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: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As a vital energy source, light is one of the most significant environmental signals for plants' growth and development. The crosstalk amongst phytohormones regulated by light exhibits quantitative dynamic changes, but methodologies to analyze their distribution during plant growth are still limited. Rapid, highly sensitive, low-invasive detection and simultaneous assessment of the levels of multiple classes of phytohormones have important phytology applications, however the existing sample pretreatment strategies remain intricate, laborious, and far from being developed for in vivo high-sensitivity testing. (81) RESULTS: We applied a nanoconfined liquid phase nanoextraction (NLPNE) technique based on acidified carbon nanofibers (ACNFs) in combination with LC-ESI-MS/MS for highly sensitive analysis of acidic phytohormones' photoregulation and dynamic distribution. In this system, the mass transfer ability of analytes entering the nanoconfined space is significantly improved given the nanoconfined effect. In particular, the accelerated and strong adsorption of alkaline compounds to the ACNFs surface provide minimum interference for acidic compounds (photosensitive phytohormones), which facilitates their simple, fast, and selective quantification with improved sensitivity. The ACNFs-NLPNE strategy achieved quantitative enrichment of multi-class phytohormones in less than 5 min, and detection limits down to 0.49 fg mL-1. Moreover, we monitored the phytohormone changes under red and blue monochromatic light with relative standard deviations <13.4 %. The results further indicated that short-time red light regulation promoted Lepidium sativum L. growth while blue light inhibited it. (141) SIGNIFICANCE: A nanoconfinement effect-based sample pretreatment platform was developed for monitoring photoregulation phytohormones dynamic distribution with higher sensitivity and stability. Our findings highlighted the importance of the NLPNE approach in providing an accurate plant crosstalk information at the molecular level, which opens a promising avenue for investigating internal hormonal responses to external stimuli.

Abstract
A novel metal-organic framework [Co2LCl4]·2DMF (Co-L) based on thiacalix[4]arene derivative was synthesized using the solvothermal method. Then Co-L was respectively mixed with reduced graphene oxide (RGO), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and mesoporous carbon (MC) to prepare corresponding composite materials. PXRD, SEM and N2 adsorption-desorption illustrated that composite materials have been successfully prepared. After optimizing experimental conditions for detecting chlorogenic acid (CGA), the Co-L@RGO(1:1) composite material showed the optimal electrocatalytic activity for CGA, which may be because RGO possessed large specific surface area and hydroxyl and carboxyl groups that could form hydrogen-bonding with the oxide of CGA. Benefiting from the synergetic effect of Co-L and RGO, the glassy carbon electrode modified with Co-L@RGO(1:1) (Co-L@RGO(1:1)/GCE) exhibited a low limit of detection (LOD) of 7.24 nM for CGA within the concentration of 0.1-2 μM and 2-20 μM. Co-L@RGO(1:1)/GCE also showed excellent selectivity, stability, and reproducibility for the CGA detection. Co-L@RGO(1:1)/GCE could detect the CGA in honeysuckle with satisfactory results. This work provided a great example for the thiacalix[4]arene-based MOF in the application of electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
A novel aptasensor has been designed for quantitative monitoring of epinephrine (EP) based on cerium metal-organic framework (CeMOF) loaded gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The aptamer, specific to EP, is immobilized on a flexible screen-printed electrode modified with AuNPs@CeMOF, enabling highly selective binding to the target biomolecule. Under optimized operational conditions, the peak currents using voltammetric detection measured at voltage of 83 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) for epinephrine exhibit a linear increase within concentration in the range 1 pM-10 nM. Following this detection strategy, a boasted limit of detection of 0.3 pM was achieved, surpassing the sensitivity of most reported methods. The developed biosensor showcased exceptional performance in detection of EP in spiked serum sample, with remarkable recovery range of 95.8-113% and precision reflected by low relative standard deviation (RSD) ranging from 2.23 to 6.19%. These results indicate the potential utility of this biosensor as a valuable clinical diagnostic tool. Furthermore, in vitro experiments were carried out using the presented biosensor to monitor the release of epinephrine from PC12 cells upon extracellular stimulation with K+ ions.

Abstract
Nanoscience shows promise for scientific advancement in many sectors, such as biology, energy, materials, environment, and manufacturing. Nanocomposites are mixtures of two or more materials, one of which is nanosized particles. The composites are expected to show combined features resulting in general enhancements in their physical and chemical properties. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are coordination polymers that have attracted attention from researchers in recent years due to their porosity and controllable functionality. Another example of interesting nanomaterials is carbon nanotubes (CNTs) which are also known for their mechanical and thermal properties. Incorporation of both these materials into a nanocomposite has shown an enhancement in properties and conquered challenges in the defects of construction. This mini-review sheds light on the recent synthetic approaches and characterization of MOF-CNT nanocomposites in order to access porous selective nanocomposites that can improve analyte detection in environmental matrixes and biological systems. A summary of the chemical composition of nanocomposites, analytes in the target, and analytical techniques used is provided.

Abstract
The combined application of multiple natural polyphenols in functional foods may provide better health benefits. The binding of polyphenols with different structures to proteins will affect their respective functions. Spectroscopy and molecular docking were used to investigate the competitive binding of chlorogenic acid (CGA)/caffeic acid (CA) and gallic acid (GA) to trypsin. The effects of different molecular structures and the order of adding the three phenolic acids on the binding were assessed. The stability of trypsin and its docked complexes with CGA/CA/GA was evaluated by molecular dynamics simulation. The effects of the binding process on the activity and thermal stability of trypsin, as well as on the antioxidant activity and stability of CGA/CA/GA were explored. The competitive binding of CGA/CA and GA to trypsin affected their synergistic antioxidant effects. The results may provide a reference for the combined application of CGA/CA and GA in food and pharmaceutical fields.

Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) is one of the most important polyphenols, being widely used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries due to its biological effects such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective properties. Hence, simple, fast, and sensitive determination of GA is of particular importance. Considering the fact that GA is an electroactive compound, electrochemical sensors offer great potential for GA quantitation due to their fast response time, high sensitivity, and ease of use. A simple, fast, and sensitive GA sensor was fabricated on the basis of a high-performance bio-nanocomposite using spongin as a natural 3D polymer, atacamite, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The developed sensor showed an excellent response toward GA oxidation with remarkable electrochemical features due to the synergistic effects of 3D porous spongin and MWCNTs, which provide a large surface area and enhance the electrocatalytic activity of atacamite. At optimal conditions by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), a good linear relationship was obtained between peak currents and GA concentrations in a wild linear range of 500 nM to 1 mM. Subsequently, the proposed sensor was used to detect GA in red wine as well as in green and black tea, confirming its great potential as a reliable alternative to conventional methods for GA determination.
