[PMID: 38171652 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121624] [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: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
Herein, a series of water-soluble supramolecular inclusion complexes (ICs) probes were prepared using cyclodextrins (CDs) and fraxetin (FRA) to detect nicotine (NT) with high selectivity in vitro and in vivo. The FRA/CD ICs prepared through the saturated solution method exhibited excellent water solubility, stability, and biocompatibility. A clear host-guest inclusion model was provided by the theoretical calculations. The investigation revealed that NT was able to enter into the cavities of FRA/β-CD IC and FRA/γ-CD IC, and further formed charge transfer complexes with FRA in the CD cavities, resulting in a rapid and highly selective fluorescence-enhanced response with the lowest detection limits of 1.9 × 10-6 M and 9.7 × 10-7 M, and the linear response ranged from 0.02 to 0.3 mM and 0.01-0.05 mM, respectively. The IC probes showed good anti-interference performance to common interferents or different pH environments, with satisfactory reproducibility and repeatability of response to NT. Furthermore, the potentiality of the probes was confirmed through fluorescence imaging experiments using human lung cancer cells and the lung tissue of mice. This study offers a fresh perspective for detecting NT in environmental and biomedical analysis.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 304:123374.

Abstract
In this study, a smart phone assisted ratiometric fluorescence sensor was designed for detecting dopamine (DA). The ratiometric fluorescence sensor was prepared by simple physical mixing green quantum dots (GQDS) and red quantum dots (RQDS). DA could induce gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) aggregate via hydrogen-bonding interactions, and further changed the absorption spectrum of gold nanoparticles to overlap with a certain emission spectrum of ratiometric fluorescence sensor. AuNPs had inner filtration effect (IFE) on the ratiometric fluorescence sensor. Due to the IFE, the dispersive AuNPs could quench GQDS, whereas the clustered AuNPs could quench RQDS. With the addition of DA, the color of ratiometric fluorescence changed from orange red to green. To simplify the detection process, a smartphone was employed to detecting DA in human urine by measuring RGB value of fluorescence color changes with a detection limit of 86 nM. This proposed method has the advantages of low cost, easy prevalence and simple operation, thus provides a great promise for rapid detection of biomarker in biological samples.

Abstract
Neurotransmitters (NTs) are endogenous low-molecular-weight chemical compounds that transmit synaptic signals in the central nervous system. These NTs play a crucial role in facilitating signal communication, motor control, and processes related to memory and learning. Abnormalities in the levels of NTs lead to chronic mental health disorders and heart diseases. Therefore, detecting imbalances in the levels of NTs is important for diagnosing early stages of diseases associated with NTs. Sensing technologies detect NTs rapidly, specifically, and selectively, overcoming the limitations of conventional diagnostic methods. In this review, we focus on the fluorescence-based biosensors that use nanomaterials such as metal clusters, carbon dots, and quantum dots. Additionally, we review biomaterial-based, including aptamer- and enzyme-based, and genetically encoded biosensors. Furthermore, we elaborate on the fluorescence mechanisms, including fluorescence resonance energy transfer, photon-induced electron transfer, intramolecular charge transfer, and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer, in the context of their applications for the detection of NTs. We also discuss the significance of NTs in human physiological functions, address the current challenges in designing fluorescence-based biosensors for the detection of NTs, and explore their future development.

Abstract
Paper-based optical sensors have emerged as a promising technology for pesticide detection and attracted extensive attention. However, in practical analytical applications, it may suffer from limited sensitivity with traditional signal amplification strategies. Here, we developed a novel mesoporous silica-modified paper-based sensor for a sensitive capture and analysis of the pesticide paraquat. Carboxylatopillar[5]arene was covalently introduced into the nanochannels for the rapid capture of target paraquat molecules due to the mass transfer confinement effect within nanopores. In addition, the large specific surface area of mesoporous silica enabled high-abundance immobilization of the capture agent and promoted its binding efficiency, which, in turn, contributed to improving the sensitivity. This work highlights the great potential of nanochannels as a development platform for sensitive paper-based sensors that can be used to develop new systems for the detection of paraquat and even other pesticides.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective photoluminescent sensor based on the highly charged monoruthenium(II) complex was designed to detect dopamine (DA) in aqueous samples. Two novel highly charged cationic ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(bpy)2(bpy-N)]X4 (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, bpy-N = 4,4'-bis[N,N,N-triethyl-(methylamino)]-2,2'-bipyridine, X- = [PF6]- (1a) or Cl- (1b) and [Ru(bpy)(bpy-N)2]X6 (X- = [PF6]- (2a) or Cl-(2b)) can be assembled with anionic surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), leading to an enhancement of photoluminescence intensity. Upon addition of DA to the system, the photoluminescence intensity of the assembled system was quenched due to the energy transfer effect. It exhibited a wide linear range (0.1-50 μM) and low detection limit (10 nM). The sensor demonstrated a high selectivity toward DA, especially in the presence of adrenaline (Adr) and norepinephrine (NE), whose structures are similar to DA in biological systems. With the merits of simple operation, obvious phenomenon and fast response speed, the sensor had a potential application prospect in human urine sample.

Abstract
In this work, acidic sulfated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were used as green carriers, and a novel composite material was synthesized and used to design sensors for paracetamol (AP) detection. There are negatively charged acidic sulfate groups on the surface of CNCs, which can enhance the electrostatic repulsion between nanoparticles, thereby increasing the stability and dispersibility of AgNPs in the system, making them less prone to agglomeration. Cationic pillar[5]arene (CP5) with a strong host–guest effect was used as a stable ligand for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). AgNPs have good electrical conductivity and large specific surface area, which can significantly increase the peak current. In addition, CP5 has excellent supramolecular recognition performance, which can specifically recognize the guest molecule AP to form an inclusion complex, so that a large number of AP molecules are attached to the electrode surface, which is beneficial to the amplification of electrochemical signals. The prepared sensor is more attractive in terms of sensitivity and recognition performance; the host–guest binding constant was (3.37 ± 0.26) × 104 M−1, which can be obtained with good linearity (R2 = 0.996), low detection limit (90 nM, LOD = 3σ/k, S/N = 3) and a wide linear range (0.5–500 μM). The electrochemical sensor showed good performance in quantitative analysis, stability, selectivity, reproducibility, and actual sample detection, providing high feasibility for real-time monitoring of paracetamol; it also provides a new idea for a green sensor. In this work, acidic sulfated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were used as green carriers, and a novel composite material was synthesized and used to design sensors for paracetamol (AP) detection.![]()

Abstract
A core-shell QDs@mSiO2@y-AuNCs nanoprobe was prepared, and a new ratiometric fluorescent sensor for thiram detection was developed. The mechanism of thiram sensing was investigated using FTIR, surface-enhanced Raman, XPS spectra, etc. The sensing of thiram was mainly ascribed to the formation of Au-S bonds between thiram and Au atoms on y-AuNCs surface, resulting in the dissociation of 11-MUA ligand from the y-AuNCs surface and the charge transfer between thiram and y-AuNCs. In the ratiometric fluorescence detection of thiram based on QDs@mSiO2@y-AuNCs, a linear range of 0.5-60 ng/mL was obtained with a LOD of 0.19 ng/mL. Compared with the fluorescence detection based on y-AuNCs, the ratiometric fluorescence detection of thiram demonstrated 3-fold enhanced sensitivity. The improvement was ascribed to two aspects: the fluorescence emission of y-AuNCs was enhanced after they were loaded onto the QDs@mSiO2 nanoparticles; the ratiometric detection mode provided more precise sensing. The detection of thiram can be completed immediately after mixing the nanoprobe with thiram. Good recoveries of thiram in apple and pear samples were achieved. All the above results demonstrated the high potential of this method in practical applications.

A Fluorescent Detection for Paraquat Based on β-CDs-Enhanced Fluorescent Gold Nanoclusters. Foods 2021; 10:foods10061178.

Abstract
In this report, a fluorescent sensing method for paraquat based on gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) is proposed. It was found that paraquat could quench both glutathione-capped AuNCs (GSH-AuNCs) and β-cyclodextrin-modified GSH-AuNCs (GSH/β-CDs-AuNCs). The modification of β-CDs on the surface of GSH-AuNCs obviously enhanced the fluorescence intensity of GSH-AuNCs and improved the sensitivity of paraquat sensing more than 4-fold. This sensibilization was ascribed to the obvious fluorescence intensity enhancement of GSH-AuNCs by β-CDs and the “host–guest” interaction between paraquat and β-CDs. The fluorescence quenching was mainly due to the photoinduced energy transfer (PET) between GSH/β-CDs-AuNCs and paraquat. With the optimized β-CDs modification of the GSH-AuNC surfaces and under buffer conditions, the fluorescent detection for paraquat demonstrated a linear response in the range of 5.0–350 ng/mL with a detection limit of 1.2 ng/mL. The fluorescent method also showed high selectivity toward common pesticides. The interference from metal ions could be easily masked by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). This method was applied to the measurement of paraquat-spiked water samples and good recoveries (93.6–103.8%) were obtained. The above results indicate that host molecule modification of fluorescent metal NC surfaces has high potential in the development of robust fluorescent sensors.

Abstract
Macrocyclic compounds have attracted tremendous attention for their superior
performance in supramolecular recognition, catalysis, and host-guest interaction. With
these admirable properties, macrocyclic compounds were used as modifiers for enhancing
the sensitivity and selectivity of electrodes and optical sensors. The classic macrocyclic
compounds, including crown ethers, cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes,
were employed as receptors for electrochemical and optical sensors to develop
new analytical methods with the wilder detection range, lower detection limit, and better
tolerance of interference. Macrocyclic molecules functionalized with nanomaterials, the
small entities with dimensions in the nanoscale, realized the versatility and diversification
of the nano-hybrid materials, which improved the capabilities of recognition and response
with the combining characteristics of two components. Herein, this review focused on the development in the
research field of hybridization of organic macrocycles with nanoparticles and their applications for chemosensors,
aiming at both existing researchers in the field and who would like to enter into the research.
