Mahajan MR, Patil PO. Designed fluorescence "on-off-on" probe based on cobalt, zinc, and nitrogen co-doped graphene quantum dots: A case of quinalphos sensing. LUMINESCENCE 2024; 39:e4835. [PMID: 39049704 DOI: 10.1002/bio.4835] [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: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we developed a new fluorescence "on-off-on" sensor utilizing water-soluble cobalt/zinc-nitrogen co-doped graphene quantum dots (Co/Zn-N-GQDs) to recognize quinalphos pesticide in vegetable and fruit samples. Primarily, the synthesis method employed a one-pot hydrothermal approach, using betel leaves as a natural precursor and cobalt ("Co"), zinc ("Zn"), and urea ("N") as dopant sources. The Co/Zn-N-GQDs probes underwent comprehensive analytical characterization. The Co/Zn-N-GQDs were synthesized with a remarkable luminescence yield of 31.49%, exhibiting excitation at 320 nm and emission peak at 393 nm. Interestingly, the luminescence of Co/Zn-N-GQDs was selectively "Turned Off" by Cu2+ via a static quenching setup. Remarkably, quenched fluorescence was surprisingly reactivated upon adding quinalphos to the quench setup, indicating a direct correlation between luminescence reactivation and quinalphos concentration. Briefly, this phenomenon is ascribed to the functional groups in quinalphos, such as quinoxalinyl and phosphorothioate, which chelate with Cu2+ ions, disrupting the nonfluorescent Cu2+-Co/Zn-N-GQDs complex. The design sensor demonstrated a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.11 μM and a broad linear span of 0.5 to 200 μM. In conclusion, Cu2+-Co/Zn-N-GQDs sensor showed immediate applicability, stability, and reproducibility, making it highly effective for quinalphos sensing in various samples.

Fluorescence enhancing and quenching signal based on new approach for selective detection of multiple organochlorine pesticides using blue emissive-carbon dot. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 345:123418.

Abstract
Measuring the concentration of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in agriculture has engaged significant awareness for healthcare investigation since OCPs are harmful to many physiological processes. Excessive usage of these compounds can result in major contamination of the environment and food supply chains. As a result, more accurate and rapid ways to detect pesticide residues in food are required. In this work, we have portrayed the surface-engineered fluorescent blue emissive-carbon dot (B-CD) with a high quantum yield (49.3 %) via the hydrothermal method for fluorescent sensing of OCPs on real samples. The amine group functionalities of carbon dots have supported the direct coordination with -Cl and -OH groups of HEP, ENS, CDF and 2,4-DPAC for the sensitive detection of OCPs, by switching in the fluorescent intensity of B-CD. The functional group of OCPs exhibits a variety of binding interactions with B-CD to contribute a complex formation, which leads to static quenching via an insubstantial restricted electron transfer process. The synthesized carbon dots exhibit individuality in binding nature towards different OCPs. Fluorescence studies help to distinguish the target OCPs and their low detection limits (LODs) were 0.002, 0.099, 0.16 and 0.082 μM for Heptachlor (HEP - turn "on"), Endosulfan (ENS), Chlordimeform (CDF) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-DPAC - turn "off") OCPs respectively. The real water samples and agriculture food samples were effectively investigated and the OCP toxicity was noted. Thus, the design of the fluorescence sensor is established as an easy and proficient sensing method for detecting OCPs.

Abstract
Food analysis is a key element in monitoring food quality for risk assessment concerning public health. Instead of using chemically prepared carbon sources for food analysis, eco-friendly and green technology based CQDs are in great demand due to their least toxicity. Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) represent an innovative group of fluorescent nanomaterials, possessing characteristics like photoluminescence, minimal toxicity, high water solubility, and a strong affinity for biocompatibility. Their versatility extends to various applications in fields like sensor technology, biomedicine, and photocatalysis, among other areas. This paper reviews the current challenges related to the use of food by-products as a source of carbon not only enhances the value of waste but also facilitates food safety detection. The integration of CQDs into food technology for food safety analysis shows a great impact on the economy and environment. Furthermore, the details of synthesis, toxicity, application, and characterization of CQDs were also described along with a brief conceptual overview. Particularly, the detection of food additives, food-borne pathogens, heavy metal ions, and pesticide residues was also elaborated. Furthermore, the advantages and the drawbacks are also discussed, with an emphasis on their future prospects in this emerging research field. This review concluded that the use of food residual components has been associated with several toxic effects and accumulation of these residues leads to many disorders like cancer, neurological disorder, reproductive disease, cardiovascular and arthritis. Moreover, the carbon source produced from food waste interacted with other functional groups like oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen through π- π* and n- π* interactions. Overall, understanding the mechanism of fluorescence quenching of residual components is of great interest in the field of food detection, as it can provide insights into the design of cost-effective fluorescence probes with low toxicity.

Abstract
Prucalopride (PCP) is a medication used for the management of constipation via regulating bowel motions. PCP is widely used all over the world. So, novel, rapid, and highly sensitive carbon dots N-CQDs were obtained from Eruca Sativa juice via microwave approach in 4 min. The luminescence power of N-CQDs was declined by the increasing prucalopride concentration at emission 518 nm with linearity ranged from 3.00 to 200.00 ng mL-1. The luminescent antecedent was utilized for the test of PCP in human plasma with the rate of recovery extending from 95.06 to 98.40%. The new technique is an eco-friendly analytical method that can be easily applied in clinical laboratories. This assay is also simple, sensitive, and applied to therapeutic laboratories and subsequent pharmacokinetic studies in several clinical laboratories. Furthermore, the N-CQDs nano-sensor was able to distinguish the target drug from interferents commonly found in human plasma, indicating its high specificity and selectivity for PCP detection.

Abstract
Environmental pollutants can accumulate in the human body through the food chain, which may seriously impact human health. Therefore, it is of vital importance to develop quick, simple, accurate and sensitive (respond quickly) technologies to evaluate the concentration of environmental pollutants in food. Quantum dots (QDs)-based fluorescence detection methods have great potential to overcome the shortcomings of traditional detection methods, such as long detection time, cumbersome detection procedures, and low sensitivity. This paper reviews the types and synthesis methods of QDs with a focus on green synthesis and the research progress on rapid detection of environmental pollutants (e.g., heavy metals, pesticides, and antibiotics) in food. Metal-based QDs, carbon-based QDs, and "top-down" and "bottom-up" synthesis methods are discussed in detail. In addition, research progress of QDs in detecting different environmental pollutants in food is discussed, especially, the practical application of these methods is analyzed. Finally, current challenges and future research directions of QDs-based detection technologies are critically discussed. Hydrothermal synthesis of carbon-based QDs with low toxicity from natural materials has a promising future. Research is needed on green synthesis of QDs, direct detection without pre-processing, and simultaneous detection of multiple contaminants. Finally, how to keep the mobile sensor stable, sensitive and easy to store is a hot topic in the future.

Abstract
In this work, water soluble carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by using 5- sulpho anthranilic acid (SAA) and 1,5-diphenylycarbazide (DPC) as precursors via microwave-assisted method and named as "SD-CDs". We studied the effect of SAA and DPC molar ratio (1:3, 2:2 and 3:1) for the preparation of blue fluorescent CDs, showing the best emission properties at molar 3:1 ratio of SAA and DPC. The as-prepared SD-CDs emit bright blue color under UV light at 365 nm, and exhibit emission peak at 392 nm when excited at 319 nm. The as-synthesized SD-CDs act as a fluorescent sensor for detection of levocetirizine and niflumic acid through the fluorescence "turn-on-off" mechanism. The developed probe exhibited good linearity in the concentrations (levocetirizine - 1.0-100 µM and niflumic acid - 0.5-100 µM) with detection limits of 3.92 nM and 0.19 µM for levocetirizine and niflumic acid, respectively. Importantly, the developed analytical method was successfully used for the detection of levocetirizine in tablets and niflumic acid in biofluids of human (serum, plasma and urine), showing good recoveries from 97 to 99 %. Thus, this SD-CDs-based fluorescence method has the potential for levocetirizine and niflumic acid assays in biological and pharmaceutical samples.

Abstract
The neuro-stimulant anti-narcoleptic drug as modafinil (MOD) is used to treatment neurological conditions caused by COVID-19. MOD was used to treatment narcolepsy, shift-work sleep disorder, and obstructive sleep apnea-related sleepiness. So, an innovative, quick, economical, selective, and ecologically friendly procedure was carried out. A highly sensitive N@CQDs technique was created from green Eruca sativa leaves in about 4 min using microwave synthesis at 700 w. The quantum yield of the synthesized N@CQDs was found to be 41.39%. By increasing the concentration of MOD, the quantum dots' fluorescence intensity was gradually quenched. After being excited at 445 nm, the fluorescence reading was recorded at 515 nm. The linear range was found to be in the range 50 - 700 ng mL-1 with lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) equal to 45.00 ng mL-1. The current method was fully validated and bio analytically according to (US-FDA and ICH) guidelines. Full characterization of the N@CQDs has been conducted by high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), Zeta potential measurement, fluorescence, UV-VIS, and FTIR spectroscopy. Various experimental variables including pH, QDs concentration and the reaction time were optimized. The proposed study is simply implemented for the therapeutic drug monitoring system (TDMS) and various clinical laboratories for further pharmacokinetic research.

Abstract
Delayed fluorescent (DF) materials have high internal quantum efficiency because of the triplet excitons involved in the radiation transition, and the spin-forbidden transition can effectively improve their luminescent lifetime. Compared with traditional afterglow materials including metal-containing inorganic coordination compounds and organic compounds, the DF materials based on carbon dots (CDs) have drawn extensive attention because of their advantages of low toxicity, environmental friendliness, stable luminescence, easy preparation and low cost. Most CDs-based DF materials can be realized by embedding CDs in matrix with covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds or/and other supramolecular interactions. Recently, matrix-free self-protective CDs-based DF materials are emerging. This review systematically summarizes the DF mechanism and structural regulation strategies of CDs-based DF materials, and the applications of CDs-based DF materials in anti-counterfeiting, information encryption, temperature sensing and other fields are introduced. Finally, the existing problems and future potentials of CDs-based DF materials are proposed and prospected.

Abstract
Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are zero-dimensional quasi-spherical nanoparticles endowed with excellent advantages including good luminescence features, photostability, low cytotoxicity, remarkable aqueous solubility, favourable biocompatibility, low risk to environment and great flexibility in surface modification. Fluorescent CDs that can selectively respond to specific inorganic/organic target molecules in environmental and biological samples are of prime significance amongst the new generation intelligent sensors due to the critical involvement of different ions/molecular species in not only human health, but also in environment processes. In this context, preparation of CDs from bioprecursors has immense significance due to the involvement of green principles, inexpensive, clean, nontoxic, easily accessible, renewable and large-scale production can be realized. This article aims at exploring different types of green raw materials including plant biomass, animal products, food items and waste materials as carbon sources for the synthesis of both undoped and doped CDs. The emphasis is given on different synthetic approaches adopted for improving the quantum yield without any chemical modification, the characterization techniques, mechanistic origin of photoluminescence and fluorescence response mechanisms involved in the sensing action towards various analytes. The significant benefits and limitations of CDs obtained from eco-friendly precursors through green approaches are summarized. Various challenges and the future prospects of these carbonaceous nanomaterials as sensors are also discussed.

Abstract
The development of carbon dots (CDs), either using green or chemical precursors, has inevitably led to their wide range application, from bioimaging to optoelectronic devices. The reported precursors and properties of these CDs have opened new opportunities for the future development of high-quality CDs and applications. Green precursors were classified into fruits, vegetables, flowers, leaves, seeds, stem, crop residues, fungi/bacteria species, and waste products, while the chemical precursors were classified into acid reagents and non-acid reagents. This paper quickly reviews ten years of the synthesis of CDs using green and chemical precursors. The application of CDs as sensing materials in optical sensor techniques for environmental monitoring, including the detection of heavy metal ions, phenol, pesticides, and nitroaromatic explosives, was also discussed in this review. This profound review will offer knowledge for the upcoming community of researchers interested in synthesizing high-quality CDs for various applications.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged the search for novel antiviral medications. Recently, molnupiravir (MOL) has been approved as an oral antiviral to manage COVID-19. Thus, the development of sensitive and cost-effective methods for quantification of MOL in real plasma samples (pharmacokinetic) and pharmaceutical tablets is required. Herein, we present the fabrication of novel fluorescent polyamine quantum dots (PA@CQDs) fabricated from apricots using one step synthesis for analysis of MOL. The relative fluorescence intensity (RFI) of the synthesized quantum dots was influentially quenched by the addition of molnupiraivr. The linear range was found to be between 2-70 ng mL-1 with lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) equal to 1.61 ng mL-1. The fluorescent probe was successfully utilized in a pharmacokinetic study of MOL with maximum plasma concentration (C max) 920.2 ± 6.12 ng mL-1 without any matrix interference. The sensitivity and selectivity of the presented method allow its application in clinical laboratories.

Abstract
Tyramine (TYM) is catecholamine releasing compound, tyramine rich food causing hypertensive crisis due to combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOIs). So, Analysis of TYM in tyramine rich food (old cheese, cured meat, sausage, pickled olive and canned fish) and environment is very essential for hypertensive patients and improvement food industries. In this work, TYM was analyzed in different types of food using novel green synthesis carbon dots from ficus carica (Fig fruits). The gradual addition of TYM to PA@CQDs led to enhancement of the quantum dots fluorescence due to formation of hydrogen bonding between quantum dots and TYM. The calibration graph plotted in the range 5-400 ng mL-1 . The method was applied to determination of TYM in different types of food as old cheese, cured meat, sausage, pickled olive and canned fish. The lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) was found to be 1.68 ng mL-1 . The method successfully applied for the quantification of TYM in varying types of food with high sensitivity and high economic effect due to the reusability of the quantum dots. The optical and morphological characters of quantum dots were studied carefully.

Abstract
Serious threat from pesticide residues to the ecosystem and human health has become a global concern. Developing reliable methods for monitoring pesticides is a world-wide research hotspot. Carbon dots (CDs) with excellent photostability, low toxicity, and good biocompatibility have been regarded as the potential substitutes in fabricating various optical sensors for pesticide detection. Based on the relevant high-quality publications, this paper first summarizes the current state-of-the-art of the synthetic and modification approaches of CDs. Then, a comprehensive overview is given on the recent advances of CDs-based optical sensors for pesticides over the past five years, with a particular focus on photoluminescent, electrochemiluminescent and colorimetric sensors regarding the sensing mechanisms and design principles by integrating with various recognition elements including antibodies, aptamers, enzymes, molecularly imprinted polymers, and some nanoparticles. Novel functions and extended applications of CDs as signal indicators, catalyst, co-reactants, and electrode surface modifiers, in constructing optical sensors are specially highlighted. Beyond an assessment of the performances of the real-world application of these proposed optical sensors, the existing inadequacies and current challenges, as well as future perspectives for pesticide monitoring are discussed in detail. It is hoped to provide powerful insights for the development of novel CDs-based sensing strategies with their wide application in different fields for pesticide supervision.
