Abstract
In this work, we developed a fast and straightforward colorimetric and photoluminescent chemosensor probe (P1), featuring bis-thiophene-thiosemicarbazide moieties as its signaling and binding unit. This probe exhibited rapid sensitivity to Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions in a semi-aqueous medium, resulting in distinct colorimetric and photoluminescent changes. In the presence of Cu2+, P1 displayed an impressive 50-fold increase in photoluminescence (PL) at 450 nm (with excitation at 365 nm). The probe P1 formed a 1:1 complex with Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions, featuring association constant values of 4.04 × 104 M-1 and 1.25 × 103 M-1, respectively. P1 has demonstrated its efficacy in the analysis of real samples, yielding promising results. Additionally, the probe successfully visualized copper ions on a mouse fibroblast cell line (NIH3T3), highlighting its potential as an intracellular probe for copper ion detection.

Abstract
Toxic mercury ions (Hg2+) can cause serious environmental pollution and accumulate in living organisms via the food chain. Therefore, monitoring Hg2+ is crucial in ensuring the safety of ecosystems and organisms. In this work, a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe CMT (5-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-1-(7-hydroxy-coumarin-3-yl)-4-pentene-1,3-dione) based on coumarin was developed for detecting Hg2+, which displayed obvious fluorescence changes, a low detection limit (2.24 × 10-7 M), good selectivity, and a large Stokes shift (255 nm). The CMT probe could detect Hg2+ in real environmental soil and water samples. Furthermore, the CMT probe enabled the naked-eye detection of Hg2+ using test paper experiments. CMT was also applied for fluorescence imaging in living zebrafish and plants. This work provides a highly efficient tool for monitoring Hg2+ in environmental samples and biological systems.

Modeling the Properties of Curcumin Derivatives in Relation to the Architecture of the Siloxane Host Matrices. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 15:267. [PMID: 35009413 PMCID: PMC8745949 DOI: 10.3390/ma15010267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Revised: 12/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Research in the field of natural dyes has constantly focused on methods of conditioning curcumin and diversifying their fields of use. In this study, hybrid materials were obtained from modified silica structures, as host matrices, in which curcumin dyes were embedded. The influence of the silica network structure on the optical properties and the antimicrobial activity of the hybrid materials was monitored. By modifying the ratio between phenyltriethoxysilane:diphenyldimethoxysilane (PTES:DPDMES), it was possible to evaluate the influence the organosilane network modifiers had on the morphostructural characteristics of nanocomposites. The nanosols were obtained by the sol-gel method, in acid catalysis. The nanocomposites obtained were deposited as films on a glass support and showed a transmittance value (T measured at 550 nm) of around 90% and reflectance of about 11%, comparable to the properties of the uncovered support. For the coatings deposited on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) films, these properties remained at average values of T550 = 85% and R550 = 11% without significantly modifying the optical properties of the support. The sequestration of the dye in silica networks reduced the antimicrobial activity of the nanocomposites obtained, by comparison to native dyes. Tests performed on Candida albicans fungi showed good results for the two curcumin derivatives embedded in silica networks (11-18 mm) by using the spot inoculation method; in comparison, the alcoholic dye solution has a spot diameter of 20-23 mm. In addition, hybrids with the CA derivative were the most effective (halo diameter of 17-18 mm) in inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, compared to the curcumin derivative in alcoholic solution (halo diameter of 21 mm). The results of the study showed that the presence of 20-40% by weight DPDMES in the composition of nanosols is the optimal range for obtaining hybrid films that host curcumin derivatives, with potential uses in the field of optical films or bioactive coatings.

Abstract
An intrinsically luminescent curcumin-modified nanodiamond derivative (ND-Cur) has been synthesized as an effective probe for cell imaging and sensory applications. DLS data allowed the particle size of ND-Cur to be estimated (170.6 ± 46.8 nm) and the zeta potential to be determined. The photoluminescence signal of ND-Cur was observed at 536 nm, with diverse intensities at excitation wavelengths of 350 to 450 nm, producing yellow emission with a quantum yield (Φ) of 0.06. Notably, the results of the MTT assay and cell imaging experiments showed the low toxicity and biocompatibility of ND-Cur. Subsequently, investigations of the selectivity towards Mg2+ and Mn2+ ions were performed by measuring intense fluorescence peak shifts and "Turn-off" responses, respectively. In the presence of Mg2+, the fluorescence peak (536 nm) was shifted and then displayed two diverse peaks at 498 and 476 nm. On the other hand, for Mn2+ ions, ND-Cur revealed a fluorescence-quenching response at 536 nm. Fluorescence studies indicated that the nanomolar level detection limits (LODs) of Mg2+ and Mn2+ ions were approximately 423 and 367 nM, respectively. The sensing mechanism, ratiometric changes and binding site were established through PL, FTIR, Raman, SEM, TEM, DLS and zeta potential analyses. Furthermore, the effective determination of Mg2+ and Mn2+ ions by ND-Cur has been validated through cell imaging experiments.
