Zirconium-based hydrophobic-MOFs as innovative electrode modifiers for flibanserin determination: Exploring the electrooxidation mechanism using a comprehensive spectroelectrochemical study. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:236. [PMID: 38570402 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06297-1] [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: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Three different types of Zr-based MOFs derived from benzene dicarboxylic acid (BDC) and naphthalene dicarboxylic acid as organic linkers (ZrBDC, 2,6-ZrNDC, and 1,4-ZrNDC) were synthesized. They were characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Their hydrophilic/hydrophobic nature was investigated via contact angle measurements; ZrBDC MOF was hydrophilic and the other two (ZrNDC) MOFs were hydrophobic. The three MOFs were combined with MWCNTs as electrode modifiers for the determination of a hydrophobic analyte, flibanserin (FLB), as a proof-of-concept analyte. Under the optimized experimental conditions, a significant enhancement in the oxidation peak current of FLB was observed when utilizing 2,6-ZrNDC and 1,4-ZrNDC, being the highest when using 1,4-ZrNDC. Furthermore, a thorough investigation of the complex oxidation pathway of FLB was performed by carrying out simultaneous spectroelectrochemical measurements. Based on the obtained results, it was verified that the piperazine moiety of FLB is the primary site for electrochemical oxidation. The fabricated sensor based on 1,4-ZrNDC/MW/CPE showed an oxidation peak of FLB at 0.8 V vs Ag/AgCl. Moreover, it showed excellent linearity for the determination of FLB in the range 0.05 to 0.80 μmol L-1 with a correlation coefficient (r) = 0.9973 and limit of detection of 3.0 nmol L-1. The applicability of the developed approach was demonstrated by determination of FLB in pharmaceutical tablets and human urine samples with acceptable repeatability (% RSD values were below 1.9% and 2.1%, respectively) and reasonable recovery values (ranged between 97 and 103% for pharmaceutical tablets and between 96 and 102% for human urine samples). The outcomes of the suggested methodology can be utilized for the determination of other hydrophobic compounds of pharmaceutical or biological interest with the aim of achieving low detection limits of these compounds in various matrices.

Highly sensitive plasmonic paper substrate fabricated via amphiphilic polymer self-assembly in microdroplet for detection of emerging pharmaceutical pollutants. NANO CONVERGENCE 2024; 11:13. [PMID: 38551725 PMCID: PMC10980671 DOI: 10.1186/s40580-024-00420-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024]
Abstract
We report an innovative and facile approach to fabricating an ultrasensitive plasmonic paper substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The approach exploits the self-assembling capability of poly(styrene-b-2-vinyl pyridine) block copolymers to form a thin film at the air-liquid interface within the single microdroplet scale for the first time and the subsequent in situ growth of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The concentration of the block copolymer was found to play an essential role in stabilizing the droplets during the mass transfer phase and formation of silver nanoparticles, thus influencing the SERS signals. SEM analysis of the morphology of the plasmonic paper substrates revealed the formation of spherical AgNPs evenly distributed across the surface of the formed copolymer film with a size distribution of 47.5 nm. The resultant enhancement factor was calculated to be 1.2 × 107, and the detection limit of rhodamine 6G was as low as 48.9 pM. The nanohybridized plasmonic paper was successfully applied to detect two emerging pollutants-sildenafil and flibanserin-with LODs as low as 1.48 nM and 3.45 nM, respectively. Thus, this study offers new prospects for designing an affordable and readily available, yet highly sensitive, paper-based SERS substrate with the potential for development as a lab-on-a-chip device.

Ratiometric sensing interface for glutathione determination based on electro-polymerized copper-coordinated molecularly imprinted layer supported on silver/porous carbon hybrid. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1272:341498. [PMID: 37355332 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
A novel molecularly imprinted ratiometric-based sensor was designed for highly selective and ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of glutathione (GSH). The sensor consists of porous carbon co-doped with nitrogen and sulfur formed on the surface of graphite electrode (N, S@PC/GE). Silver nanoparticles (Ag) were grown on the surface of N, S@PC/GE to improve the conductivity/surface area of the sensor and represent an internal reference signal for ratiometric response. The monomer (pyrrole-4-carboxylic acid, Py-COOH) was electro-polymerized on the surface of Ag/N, S@PC/GE in the presence of Cu (II) to form Cu-MIP@Ag/N, S@PC/GE. Addition of GSH decreased the signal of Ag at 0.18 V (oxidation of Ag) due to coordination complexation, while the signal response at 0.83 V (oxidation of Ag-GSH complex) was increased. Under optimum conditions, the ratio response (IGSH/IAg) was increased with increasing the concentration of GSH in the range of 0.01-500 nM with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.003 nM. The electrochemical sensor exhibits many advantages including low LOD, high selectivity, good reproducibility, and satisfactory stability. The sensor was successfully applied to determine GSH in dietary supplements and human serum samples with recoveries % ranged from 97.4 to 101.8% and relative standard deviation % (RSD %) did not exceed 3.8%. This research paper introduces new information for the construction of molecular imprinted ratiometric-based electrochemical sensors for highly selective and sensitive detection of (bio) molecules.

Facile fabrication of boron and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots for "ON-OFF-ON" fluorescence sensing of Al 3+ and F - ions in water samples. RSC Adv 2023; 13:23736-23744. [PMID: 37555090 PMCID: PMC10405784 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra02919k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Water contamination with harmful ions has grown to be a significant environmental issue on a global scale. Therefore, the fabrication of simple, cost-effective, and reliable sensors is essential for identifying these ions. Herein, co-doping of carbon dots with new caffeine and H3BO3-derived boron (B) and nitrogen (N) was performed (BN@CDs). The as-prepared BN@CDs probe was used for the tandem fluorescence sensing of Al3+ and F- based on "ON-OFF-ON" switches. The BN@CDs nanoswitch has a high quantum yield of 44.8% with λexc. and λem. of 360 nm and 440 nm, respectively. The probe exhibited good stability with different pH, ionic-strengths, and irradiation times. The fluorescence emission of BN@CDs was decreased as the Al3+ concentration was increased with a linear range of 0.03-90 μM and a limit of detection (S/N = 3) equal to 9.0 nM. Addition of F- restored the BN@CDs emission as F- ions form a strong and stable complex with Al3+ ions [Al(OH)3F]-. Therefore, the ratio response (F/F°) was raised by raising the F- ion concentration to the range of 0.18-80 μM with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 50.0 nM. The BN@CDs sensor exhibits some advantages over other reported methods in terms of simplicity, high quantum yield, and low detection limit. Importantly, the sensor was successfully applied to determine Al3+ and F- in various ecological water specimens with accepted results.

Abstract
Novel biomass-derived carbon dots co-doped with nitrogen and sulfur were fabricated through facile and simple synthetic method from manufactured milk powder and methionine as precursors. The as-fabricated platform was used for ratiometric fluorescence sensing of Cu (II) and bisphosphonate drug risedronate sodium. The sensing platform is based on oxidation of o-phenylenediamine by Cu (II) to form 2, 3-diaminophenazine (oxidized product) with an emission peak at 557 nm. The resultant product quenched the fluorescence emission of as-fabricated carbon dots at 470 nm through Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and inner-filter effect (IFE). Upon addition of risedronate sodium, the formation of 2, 3-diaminophenazine was decreased as a result of Cu (II) chelation with risedronate sodium, recovering the fluorescence emission of carbon dots. The ratio of fluorescence at 470 nm and 557 nm was measured as a function of Cu (II) and risedronate sodium concentrations. The proposed sensing platform sensitively detected Cu (II) and risedronate sodium in the range of 0.01-55 μM and 5.02-883 µM with LODs (S/N = 3) of 0.003 μM and 1.48 µM, respectively. The sensing platform exhibited a good selectivity towards Cu (II) and risedronate sodium. The sensing system was used to determine Cu (II) and risedronate sodium in different sample matrices with recoveries % in the range of 99-103 % and 97.4-103.8 %, and RSDs % in the range of 1.5-3.0 % and 1.8-3.6 %, respectively.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical sensor based on the electro-deposition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on Tropaeolin OO (poly-TO) layers over pencil graphite electrode (PGE) surface was fabricated for the first time for voltammetric determination of flibanserin (FBS); a drug enhances female sexual performance. Further characterization studies using cyclic voltammetry (CV), square wave voltammetry (SWV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted. The AgNPs synergistic effect on poly-TO layers facilitates the FBS electro-oxidation in phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.0) and its determination in bulk form, tablets and in human plasma. Following ICH guidelines, validation of the proposed SWV method for FBS analysis was successfully achieved using the fabricated sensor (AgNPs@poly-TO/PGE). Under the optimal instrumental and experimental conditions, the anodic oxidation peak current was directly proportional to FBS concentration in the range from 0.1 to 8.5 μmol L-1 with low detection and quantitation limits (0.0286 and 0.0867 μmol L-1, respectively). High sensitivity, selectivity as well as easiness of fabrication are the main advantages of the modified sensor.

Abstract
A specific and sensitive thin layer chromatographic method coupled with fluorescence detection for determination of flibanserin (FLN) that treats woman hypoactive sexual desire disorder was developed. The proposed method depends on the enhancement of FLN native fluorescence intensity via the exposure of the developed TLC plate to concentrated hydrochloric acid vapors. Herein, an evaporation setup needed for HCl vapors exposure step was designed for the first time to ensure a uniform distribution of the vapors throughout the developed bands on the plate. Chloroform: methanol (9.5: 0.5, v/v) was the optimum mobile phase that gave a compact band (Rf= 0.44 ± 0.02) using TLC aluminium plates precoated with silica gel G 60F254 as a stationary phase. After exposure of the developed TLC plate to HCl vapors, the FLN bands emission intensities were measured after excitation at 275 nm. Conferring ICH guidelines, the linearity range was 20.0 - 1500.0 ng/band with a good linear relationship (r= 0.9998). Detection and quantitation limits were 5.12 and 15.50 ng/band, respectively. Also, the method was validated for accuracy, precision, robustness, specificity and selectivity. Statistical analysis verified the suitability of the proposed method for estimation of FLN in tablets and in human plasma with acceptable recoveries (98.07-101.45%).
