Double-signal quantification of amoxicillin based on interaction with 4-aminoantipyrine at copper and nitrogen co-doped carbon quantum dots as an artificial nanozyme. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:183. [PMID: 35394214 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05253-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
An one-pot hydrothermal method was developed for synthesis of carbon quantum dots co-doped with copper and nitrogen (Cu, N@CQDs). The synthesized Cu, N@CQDs has unique advantages such as high fluorescence quantum yield (39.1%) and high catalytic activity. Oxidative coupling of amoxicillin (AMX) with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-NH2-APE) in the presence of H2O2 as an oxidant to produce pink quinoneimine chromogen was carried out with the aid of Cu, N@CQDs as a peroxidase-like catalyst. This system was used for the colorimetric and fluorometric assays of AMX with reliable results. Colorimetric method is based on the measurement of a pink-colored product at λmax = 505 nm while the fluorometric assay is based on the quenching of the fluorescence emission of Cu, N@CQDs at 440 nm after excitation at 370 nm. For the colorimetric method, the absorption intensity linearly increased over the concentration range 4.3-110.0 µM with LOD (S/N = 3) of 1.3 µM. For the fluorometric method, the emission intensity of Cu, N@CQDs linearly decreased upon addition of AMX in the concentration range 0.2-120.0 µM with a limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) of 0.06 µM. The proposed system was applied to the determination of AMX in different real samples such as pharmaceutical capsules, human serum, milk, and conduit water samples with recoveries in the range 95.8-104.1% and relative standard deviation (RSD %) less than 4.1%.

Abstract
We developed a liquid crystal (LC) aptamer biosensor for the sensitive detection of amoxicillin (AMX). The AMX aptamer was immobilized onto the surface of a glass slide modified with a mixed self-assembled layer of dimethyloctadecyl [3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl] ammonium chloride (DMOAP) and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES). The long alkyl chains of DMOAP maintained the LC molecules in a homeotropic orientation and induced a dark optical appearance under a polarized light microscope (POM). In the presence of AMX, the specific binding of the aptamer and AMX molecules induced a conformational change in the aptamers, leading to the disruption of the homeotropic orientation of LCs, resulting in a bright optical appearance. The developed aptasensor showed high specificity and a low detection limit of 3.5 nM. Moreover, the potential application of the developed aptasensor for the detection of AMX in environmental samples was also demonstrated. Therefore, the proposed aptasensor is a promising platform for simple, rapid, and label-free monitoring of AMX in an actual water environment with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
Over 5% of the world's population has disabling hearing loss, which affects approximately one third of individuals over 65 years. Hearing aids are commonly used in this population group, but prolonged use of these devices may cause ear infections. We describe for the first time, the use of 3D printing to fabricate hearing aids loaded with two antibiotics, ciprofloxacin and fluocinolone acetonide. Digital light processing 3D printing was employed to manufacture hearing aids from two polymer resins, ENG hard and Flexible. The inclusion of the antibiotics did not affect the mechanical properties of the hearing aids. All multi-drug-loaded devices exhibited a hydrophilic surface, excellent blood compatibility and anti-biofilm activity against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. Hearing aids loaded with ciprofloxacin (6% w/w) and fluocinolone acetonide (0.5% w/w) sustained drug release for more than two weeks and inhibited biofilm formation on the surface of the devices and bacteria growth in the surrounding medium. In summary, this work highlights the potential of vat photopolymerization 3D printing as a versatile manufacturing approach to fabricate high-fidelity patient-specific medical devices with anti-bacterial properties.

Ultrasensitive detection of amoxicillin by TiO 2-g-C 3N 4@AuNPs impedimetric aptasensor: Fabrication, optimization, and mechanism. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 391:122024.

Abstract
The trace amount of antibiotics in water can be enriched in the human body through the food chain, leading to extremely harmful effects on people's health. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new methods to detect trace pollutants in various aquatic phase. An analytical method utilizing the synergistic effect between the sensing strategy and catalytic material with high electron transfer capacity can be used to detect trace antibiotics. In this paper, an ultrasensitive impedimetric aptasensor was fabricated by the synergy between functionalized materials (TiO2-g-C3N4) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). Due to the formation of the 'Au-S' bond between the thiol-aptamer and Au NPs, amoxicillin and the aptamer can be specifically recognized on the modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and the impedance signal increased rapidly. Meanwhile, the Box-Behnken Design (BBD) strategy was used to reduce the random error of the experiment, so that the prepared aptasensor has the highest sensitivity to the detection of amoxicillin. Under optimized conditions, the sensor successfully achieved the detection of amoxicillin in the ultra-low detection range (0.5-3 nM) and reached the ultra-low detection limit (0.2 nM). The detection strategy has good selectivity, reproducibility, and stability, and thus has good potential to detect amoxicillin in actual wastewater.

Abstract
The flexibility in polymer properties has allowed the development of a broad range of materials with electroactivity, such as intrinsically conductive conjugated polymers, percolated conductive composites, and ionic conductive hydrogels. These smart electroactive polymers can be designed to respond rationally under an electric stimulus, triggering outstanding properties suitable for biomedical applications. This review presents a general overview of the potential applications of these electroactive smart polymers in the field of tissue engineering and biomaterials. In particular, details about the ability of these electroactive polymers to: (1) stimulate cells in the context of tissue engineering by providing electrical current; (2) mimic muscles by converting electric energy into mechanical energy through an electromechanical response; (3) deliver drugs by changing their internal configuration under an electrical stimulus; and (4) have antimicrobial behavior due to the conduction of electricity, are discussed.
