Abstract
Phytoestrogens are non-steroidal estrogens produced from plants that can bind with the human body's estrogenic receptor site and be used as a substitute for maintaining hormonal balance. They are mainly classified as flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, stilbenes, and coumestans; some are resocyclic acids of lactones, which are mycotoxins and not natural phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens have many beneficial medicinal properties, making them an important part of the daily diet. Electrochemical sensors are widely used analytical tools for analysing various pharmaceuticals, chemicals, pollutants and food items. Electrochemical sensors provide an extensive platform for highly sensitive and rapid analysis. Several reviews have been published on the importance of the biological and medicinal properties of phytoestrogens. However, this review provides an overview of recent work performed through electrochemical measurements with electrochemical sensors and biosensors for all the classes of phytoestrogens done so far since 2019.

[PMID: 39137522 PMCID: PMC11368413 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
The advent of wearable sensing platforms capable of continuously monitoring physiological parameters indicative of health status have resulted in a paradigm shift for clinical medicine. The accessibility and adaptability of such portable, unobtrusive devices enables proactive, personalized care based on real-time physiological insights. While wearable sensing platforms exhibit powerful capabilities for continuously monitoring physiological parameters, device fabrication often requires specialized facilities and technical expertise, restricting deployment opportunities and innovation potential. The recent emergence of rapid prototyping approaches to sensor fabrication, such as laser-induced graphene (LIG), provides a pathway for circumventing these barriers through low-cost, scalable fabrication. However, inherent limitations in laser processing restrict the spatial resolution of LIG-based flexible electronic devices to the minimum laser spot size. For a CO2 laser-a commonly reported laser for device production-this corresponds to a feature size of ∼120 μm. Here, we demonstrate a facile, low-cost stencil-masking technique to reduce the minimum resolvable feature size of a LIG-based device from 120 ± 20 μm to 45 ± 3 μm when fabricated by CO2 laser. Characterization of device performance reveals this stencil-masked LIG (s-LIG) method yields a concomitant improvement in electrical properties, which we hypothesize is the result of changes in macrostructure of the patterned LIG. We showcase the performance of this fabrication method via production of common sensors including temperature and multi-electrode electrochemical sensors. We fabricate fine-line microarray electrodes not typically achievable via native CO2 laser processing, demonstrating the potential of the expanded design capabilities. Comparing microarray sensors made with and without the stencil to traditional macro LIG electrodes reveals the s-LIG sensors have significantly reduced capacitance for similar electroactive surface areas. Beyond improving sensor performance, the increased resolution enabled by this metal stencil technique expands capabilities for scalable fabrication of high-performance wearable sensors in low-resource settings without reliance on traditional fabrication pathways.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical sensor based on LaNiO3/g-C3N4@RGH nanocomposite material was developed to simultaneously determine Ribociclib (RIBO) and Alpelisib (ALPE). Ribociclib and Alpelisib are vital anticancer medications used in the treatment of advanced breast cancer. The sensor exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of RIBO and ALPE, enabling their simultaneous detection. The fabricated sensor was characterized using various techniques, including energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which confirmed the successful synthesis of the LaNiO3/g-C3N4@RGH composite material. Electrochemical characterization revealed enhanced conductivity and lower resistance of the modified electrode compared to the bare electrode. The developed sensor exhibited high repeatability, reproducibility, stability, and selectivity toward RIBO detection. Furthermore, the sensor displayed high sensitivity with low detection limits of 0.88 nM for RIBO and 6.1 nM for ALPE, and linear ranges of 0.05-6.2 μM and 0.5-6.5 μM, respectively. The proposed electrochemical sensor offers a promising approach for simultaneously determining RIBO and ALPE in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples with recovery data of 98.7-102.0 %, providing a valuable tool for anticancer drug analysis and clinical research.

The portable stochastic sensor as a screening tool for simultaneous determination of HER-1 and CA 125 - a key factor in the rapid recognition of gastric cancer. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:597. [PMID: 39271551 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06674-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024]
Abstract
The significance of HER-1 and CA 125 lies in their ability to guide cancer diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring, improving personalized care and enhancing prognostic accuracy. The utilization of HER-1 and CA 125 as screening biomarkers for the anticipation of early-stage cancer and monitoring cancer progression is expanding due to the invasive and costly nature of present techniques. In this study, a novel stochastic sensor was developed for the simultaneous determination of HER-1 and CA 125 in whole blood, saliva, and gastric tumor tissue samples using a fast, easy, inexpensive, and portable method. The stochastic sensor was prepared by electropolymerization of cysteine on the surface of the Au-TiO2@rGO/SPCE sensor. The Au-TiO2@rGO nanocomposite was synthesized using a simple chemical reduction process. The proposed sensor showed wide linear concentration ranges and very low limits of quantification (LOQ). The concentration ranges were from 3.9 × 10-14 to 3.9 × 10-8 µg mL-1, with a LOQ of 3.9 × 10-14 µg mL-1 for HER-1. For CA 125, the concentration ranges were from 8.3 × 10-14 to 8.3 × 10-10 U mL-1, with a LOQ of 8.3 × 10-14 U mL-1. Both biomarkers exhibit precise discrimination in different biological samples, with recoveries above 96.78% and RSD values below 0.04%. With a confidence level of 99%, the Student t-test revealed that there is no statistically significant difference between the outcomes obtained by using the poly-Cys/Au-TiO2@rGO/SPCE sensor for screening examinations of biological samples. This was determined because the results were not significantly different from one another.

Abstract
This work focuses on the synthesis of Bentonite supported nano zero valent bimetallic nanoparticles (B/nZVCu-M NPs) to be utilized for fast and highly sensitive, reversible, fluorescent determination of dopamine (DA) in the presence of dopamine, other biomolecules and ions. The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS), Powder X-Ray Diffraction(PXRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) revealed the formation of nanoparticles with size ranging from 15 to 20 nm. The composition was revealed by Fourier Transform Infrared(FTIR) Spectoscopy and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) Analysis. The Limits of Detection(LOD) were noted to be 5.57nM and 6.07nM. The binding of DA is noted to be reversible with respect to EDTA2-. Furthermore, the developed sensor exhibited good repeatability, satisfactory long-term stability, and was successfully used for the selective detection of dopamine sample with desired recoveries or reversibilities. The main aim of our work is to selectively detect dopamine in presence of its major interferents and biomolecules that are normally present/ co-exist with dopamine in biological systems.

Abstract
In recent decades, analytical techniques have increasingly focused on the precise quantification. Achieving this goal has been accomplished with conventional analytical approaches that typically require extensive pretreatment methods, significant reagent usage, and expensive instruments. The need for rapid, simple, and highly selective identification platforms has become increasingly pronounced. Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) has emerged as a promising avenue for developing advanced sensors that can potentially surpass the limitations of conventional detection methods. In recent years, the application of MIP-silica materials-based sensors has garnered significant attention owing to their distinctive characteristics. These types of probes hold a distinct advantage in their remarkable stability and durability, all of which provide a suitable sensing platform in severe environments. Moreover, the substrate composed of silica materials offers a vast surface area for binding, thereby facilitating the efficient detection of even minuscule concentrations of targets. As a result, sensors based on MIP-silica materials have the potential to be widely applied in various industries, including medical diagnosis, and food safety. In the present review, we have conducted an in-depth analysis of the latest research developments in the field of MIPs-silica materials based sensors, with a focus on succinctly summarizing and elucidating the most crucial findings. This is the first comprehensive review of integration MIPs with silica materials in electrochemical (EC) and optical probes for biomedical analysis and food safety.

Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrinal disorder characterized by multiple tiny cysts, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, hirsutism, and infertility. The current diagnostic tools comprise of expensive, time-consuming ultrasonography to serological test, which have low patient compliance. To address these limitations, we have developed a highly sensitive, cost effective and ultrafast immunosensor for the diagnosis of PCOS. Herein, we have fabricated a 2-D electro conductive composites of reduced Graphene oxide (rGO), Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and Polyaniline (PANI) as electrode material. Furthermore, for detecting an early and non-cyclic biomarker of PCOS, i.e. anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH). We utilize the specific antigen-antibody mechanism, in which monoclonal Anti-AMH antibodies were covalently immobilized using EDC-NHS chemistry on electrode. The developed biosensor was physicochemical and electrochemically characterized to demonstrate its efficiency. Further we have investigated the biosensor's performance with Cyclic Voltammetry, Differential Pulse Voltammetry, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. We have validated that under the optimized condition the immunosensor exhibits higher sensitivity with a LOD of ∼ 2.0 ng/mL with a linear range up to 100 ng/mL. Furthermore, this immunosensor works efficiently with a lower sample volume (>5 μL), which provides a sensitive, reproducible, low-cost, rapid analysis to detect AMH level in PCOS diagnosis.

Gels 2024; 10:382. [PMID: 38920929 PMCID: PMC11203079 DOI: 10.3390/gels10060382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
This study centers on the development and characterization of an innovative electrochemical sensing probe composed of a sensing mesoporous functional sol-gel coating integrated onto a glassy carbon electrode (sol-gel/GCE) for the detection of NH3 and/or NH4+ in water. The main interest for integrating a functional sol-gel coating onto a GCE is to increase the selective and sensing properties of the GCE probe towards NH3 and/or NH4+ ions. The structure and surface morphology of the newly developed sol-gel/GCE probe were characterized employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), while the electrochemical sensing properties were evaluated by Berthelot's reaction, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and adsorptive square wave-anodic striping voltammetry (Ads SW-ASV). It is shown that the newly developed sol-gel coating is homogeneously deposited on the GCE with a sub-micron and uniform thickness close to 630 nm and a surface roughness of 25 nm. The sensing testing of the sol-gel/GCE probe showed limits of detection and limits of quantitation of 1.7 and 5.56 nM of NH4+, respectively, as well as a probe sensitivity of 5.74 × 10-1 μA/μM cm-2. The developed probe was fruitfully validated for the selective detection of NH3/NH4+ in fresh and sea water samples. Computed Student texp (0.45-1.25) and Fexp (1.69-1.78) (n = 5) tests were less than the theoretical ttab (2.78) and Ftab (6.39) at 95% probability.

Abstract
Titanium oxide nanopowder (TiO2 NPs) was synthesized via anodization in 0.7 M perchloric acid then annealed in nitrogen at 450 °C for 3 h to prepared the Titanium Oxide Nitrogen annealed nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs-N2) powder as catalytic support. Using a photodeposition process, gold was added with isopropanol as a sacrificial donor and H[AuCl4] acid, producing gold nanoparticles on nitrogen-annealed titanium oxide nanoparticles (Au-NPs on TiO2-NPs-N2). The mass loading of Au NPs was 2.86 × 10-4 (g/cm2). TEM images of Au NPs on TiO2-NPs-N2 suggest circular particles with a tendency to agglomerate. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was used to investigate the electrocatalytic performance of the Au NPs/TiO2-NPs-N2 catalysts in ferrocyanide, KOH, and H2SO4, and the results were compared to those of a polycrystalline Au electrode that is readily accessible in the market. In KOH, H2SO4, and (2 M KOH + 0.1 M glycerol) solutions, the Au NPs/TiO2-NPs-N2 electrode displayed a startlingly high electrocatalytic performance. Using CV, the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of Au NPs/TiO2-NPs-N2 and Au-NPs against glycerol oxidation in basic media was studied. The results indicated that Au NPs/TiO2-NPs-N2 is a promising support material for improving the electrocatalytic activity for acidic and basic oxidation. The electrode made of Au NPs/TiO2-NTs-N2 has steady electrocatalytic activity and may be reused repeatedly. TiO2 NPs and Au NPs/TiO2NPs-N2 showed satisfactory antibacterial activity against some human pathogenic bacteria using the disc diffusion method.

Abstract
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a significant target for small organic and inorganic drug molecules. Understanding the DNA interaction mechanism of these molecules is vital for new drug designs. In this work, interactions between xanthine (XT), theophylline (TP), and theobromine (TB) with calf-thymus double-strained DNA (dsDNA) were monitored via an experimental and theoretical approach. Experimentally, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques were used on the surface of the NiO/MWCNT/NNaM/PGE electrochemical platform in vitro. Kinetic parameters, including diffusion coefficients, surface concentrations, and standard heterogeneous rate constants, were measured in the absence and presence of DNA using scan rate studies. In the presence of DNA, kinetic parameters were observed to be reduced significantly. Thermodynamic parameters, such as DNA binding constants and standard free Gibbs energies, were calculated for each molecule using the CV and DPV techniques. Both techniques suggested a binding affinity order of XT > TB > TP. Theoretically, density functional theory was applied for geometry optimization, natural bond orbital analyses, and molecular orbital energies of XT, TP, and TB. Experimental and theoretical binding affinities confirm each other. The most energetically stable ligand-DNA complexes expressed that XT, TP, and TB interact with dsDNA via minor groove binding mode, using mostly hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
With its fatal effects, cancer is still one of the most important diseases of today's world. The underlying fact behind this scenario is most probably due to its late diagnosis. That is why the necessity for the detection of different cancer types is obvious. Cancer studies including cancer diagnosis and therapy have been one of the most laborious tasks. Since its early detection significantly affects the following therapy steps, cancer diagnosis is very important. Despite researchers' best efforts, the accurate and rapid diagnosis of cancer is still challenging and difficult to investigate. It is known that electrochemical techniques have been successfully adapted into the cancer diagnosis field. Electrochemical sensor platforms that are brought together with the excellent selectivity of biosensing elements, such as nucleic acids, aptamers or antibodies, have put forth very successful outputs. One of the remarkable achievements of these biomolecule-attached sensors is their lack of need for additional labeling steps, which bring extra burdens such as interference effects or demanding modification protocols. In this review, we aim to outline label-free cancer diagnosis platforms that use electrochemical methods to acquire signals. The classification of the sensing platforms is generally presented according to their recognition element, and the most recent achievements by using these attractive sensing substrates are described in detail. In addition, the current challenges are discussed.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical sensor was developed for selective and sensitive determination of xanthine (XT) and hypoxanthine (HX) based on polyglycine (p-Gly) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). A mixed dispersion of 7 μL of 5 mM glycine and 1 mg/mL GO was dropped on GCE for the fabrication of p-Gly/rGO/GCE, followed by cyclic voltammetric sweeping in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution within -0.45~1.85 V at a scanning rate of 100 mV·s-1. The morphological and electrochemical features of p-Gly/rGO/GCE were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Under optimal conditions, the linear relationship was acquired for the simultaneous determination of XT and HX in 1-100 μM. The preparation of the electrode was simple and efficient. Additionally, the sensor combined the excellent conductivity of rGO and the polymerization of Gly, demonstrating satisfying simultaneous sensing performance to both XT and HX.

Abstract
Roadside testing of illicit drugs such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) requires simple, rapid, and cost-effective methods. The need for non-invasive detection tools has led to the development of selective and sensitive platforms, able to detect phyto- and synthetic cannabinoids by means of their main metabolites in breath, saliva, and urine samples. One may estimate the time passed from drug exposure and the frequency of use by corroborating the detection results with pharmacokinetic data. In this review, we report on the current detection methods of cannabinoids in biofluids. Fluorescent, electrochemical, colorimetric, and magnetoresistive biosensors will be briefly overviewed, putting emphasis on the affinity formats amenable to on-site screening, with possible applications in roadside testing and anti-doping control.

Abstract
Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AASs), a class of compounds frequently misused by competitors and unfortunately by the general population, have lately attracted international attention. Thus, extraordinary demands for developing low cost, precise, rapid, and facile protocols for detection and/or determination of AAS have arisen. Hence, the current strategy explores for the first time the redox features of 21-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione, namely, 11-desoxycorticosterone (DCS) AA drug steroid at a glassy-carbon electrode (GCE) in a wide pH range (pH 2.0–10.0) by adsorptive differential pulse-anodic stripping voltammetry (DP- ASV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). At pH 2, DP-ASV and CV at the optimized pH 2–3 displayed an irreversible anodic peak at 0.4 V versus Ag/AgCl electrode. The dependency of the anodic peak current of the CV at 0.4 V at various concentrations and scan rate of the DCS drug was characteristic of an electrode-coupled electron transfer of EE type mechanism. At the optimized parameters, the proposed strategy allowed quantification of DCS in the concentration range 2.5 -13.19 nM (0.83-4.36 ng mL−1) with satisfactory limits of detection (LOD) and quantization (LOQ) of 9.3 × 10−1 nM (3.1 × 10−1 ng mL−1) and 3.1 nM (1.02 ng mL−1), respectively. A relative standard deviation (RSD) of ±3.93% (n = 5) at 4.0 ng mL−1 DCS was achieved. The established probe was fruitfully employed and validated for trace determination of DCS residues in environmental water. The interference of several common diverse species on DCS sensing was insignificant revealing good selectivity. The established probe exhibited good sensitivity, selectivity, precision, and accuracy, short analytical time, and low cost compared with the reported methods, for DCS determination.

Abstract
Azo dyes as widely applied food colorants are popular for their stability and affordability. On the other hand, many of these dyes can have harmful impacts on living organs, which underscores the need to control the content of this group of dyes in food. Among the various analytical approaches for detecting the azo dyes, special attention has been paid to electro-analytical techniques for reasons such as admirable sensitivity, excellent selectivity, reproducibility, miniaturization, green nature, low cost, less time to prepare and detect of specimens and the ability to modify the electrode. Satisfactory results have been obtained so far for carbon-based nanomaterials in the fabrication of electrochemical sensing systems in detecting the levels of these materials in various specimens. The purpose of this review article is to investigate carbon nanomaterial-supported techniques for electrochemical sensing systems on the analysis of azo dyes in food samples in terms of carbon nanomaterials used, like carbon nanotubes (CNT) and grapheme (Gr).

Abstract
Background Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive component and one of the most important medicinal compounds in cannabis. Whether in human body fluids and breath or in laboratory and field samples, rapid and easy detection of THC is crucial. It provides insights into the impact of THC on human organism and its medicinal benefits, it guides the cannabis growers to determine different stages of the growth of the plant in the field, and eventually it helps scientists in the laboratory to assure the quality of the products and determine their potency or better understand the product development procedures. The significance of fast THC detection in forensic analysis also cannot be overlooked. Electrochemical sensor technologies are currently in the focus of attention for fast, easy, and low-cost detection of THC. Method In this work, we review the recent advances in sensor technologies developed for the purpose of fast and accurate THC detection. The research works performed mostly in the past decade and those detecting THC directly without any derivatization were the main target of this review. The scope of this narrative review was the reports on detecting THC in synthetic samples and plants as well as oral fluid. Results Electrochemical sensor technologies are sensitive enough and have the potential for fast, easy, and low-cost detection of THC for roadside testing, THC trending in growing cannabis plants, THC product development and formulation for medical purposes, etc., and they can provide an alternative for costly chromatography and mass spectrometry-based methods. Conclusion The main challenges facing these sensors, however, are nonspecific interaction and the interference of compounds and species from the matrix. Special requirement for storing sensors modified with antibodies or proteins is another challenge in this field. Preparing long-lasting and reusable sensors is a field worthy of attention.

Abstract
Using electrochemically exfoliated graphene oxide (GO)-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes for the detection of furazolidone (FZD), a nitrofuran antibiotic, was explored. In this study, we designed some GO samples possessing different oxygen functional group content/defect density by using ultrasonic irradiation or microwave techniques as supporting tools. The difference in physical characteristics of GO led to the remarkable change in kinetic parameters (electron transfer rate constant (ks) and transfer coefficient (α)) of electron transfer reactions at K3/K4 probes as well as the FZD analyte. Obtained results reveal that the GO-ultrasonic sample showed the highest electrochemical response toward FZD detection owing to the increase in defect density and number of edges in the GO nanosheets under ultrasonic irradiation. The proposed electrochemical nanosensor enabled the monitoring of FZD in the linear range from 1 μM to 100 μM with an electrochemical sensitivity of 1.03 μA μM−1 cm−2. Tuning suitable electronic structures of GO suggests the potentiality of advanced GO-based electrochemical nanosensor development in food-producing animal safety monitoring applications. In this study, we have investigated the role of changes in the microstructure of graphene oxide (GO) on the analytical kinetic parameters of GO-based electrochemical sensors for detection of furazolidone (FZD) antibiotic drug.![]()

Abstract
Diamond electrodes have long been a well-known candidate in electrochemical analyte detection. Nano- and micro-level modifications on the diamond electrodes can lead to diverse analytical applications. Doping of crystalline diamond allows the fabrication of suitable electrodes towards specific analyte monitoring. In particular, boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes have been reported for metal ions, anions, biomolecules, drugs, beverage hazards, pesticides, organic molecules, dyes, growth stimulant, etc., with exceptional performance in discriminations. Therefore, numerous reviews on the diamond electrode-based sensory utilities towards the specified analyte quantifications were published by many researchers. However, reviews on the nanodiamond-based electrodes for metal ions and anions are still not readily available nowadays. To advance the development of diamond electrodes towards the detection of diverse metal ions and anions, it is essential to provide clear and focused information on the diamond electrode synthesis, structure, and electrical properties. This review provides indispensable information on the diamond-based electrodes towards the determination of metal ions and anions.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensors in electroanalysis are a particularly useful and relatively simple way to identify electroactive substances. Among the materials used to design sensors, there is a growing interest in different types of carbon. This is mainly due to its non-toxic properties, low cost, good electrical conductivity, wide potential range, and the possibility of using it in both aqueous and nonaqueous media. The electrodes made of carbon, and especially of carbon modified with different materials, are currently most often used in the voltammetric analysis of various compounds, including preservatives. The objective of this paper is to present the characteristics and suitability of different carbon materials for the construction of working electrodes used in the voltammetric analysis. Various carbon materials were considered and briefly discussed. Their analytical application was presented on the example of the preservatives commonly used in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical preparations. It was shown that for the electroanalysis of preservatives, mainly carbon electrodes modified with various modifiers are used. These modifications ensure appropriate selectivity, high sensitivity, low limits of detection and quantification, as well as a wide linearity range of voltammetric methods of their identification and determination.

Abstract
The uncontrolled release of pharmaceutical drugs into the environment raised serious concerns in the last decades as they can potentially exert adverse effects on living organisms even at the low concentrations at which they are typically found. Among them, platinum based cytostatic drugs (Pt CDs) are among the most used drugs in cancer treatments which are administered via intravenous infusion and released partially intact or as transformation products. In this review, the studies on environmental occurrence, transformation, potential ecotoxicity, and possible treatment for the removal of platinum cytostatic compounds are revised. The analysis of the literature highlighted the generally low total platinum concentration values (from a few tens of ng L−1 to a few hundred μg L−1) found in hospital effluents. Additionally, several studies highlighted how hospitals are sources of a minor fraction of the total Pt CDs found in the environment due to the slow excretion rate which is longer than the usual treatment durations. Only some data about the impact of the exposure to low levels of Pt CDs on the health of flora and fauna are present in literature. In some cases, adverse effects have been shown to occur in living organisms, even at low concentrations. Further ecotoxicity data are needed to support or exclude their chronic effects on the ecosystem. Finally, fundamental understanding is required on the platinum drugs removal by MBR, AOPs, technologies, and adsorption.

Abstract
Recent COVID-19 pandemic has claimed millions of lives due to lack of a rapid diagnostic tool. Global scientific community is now making joint efforts on developing rapid and accurate diagnostic tools for early detection of viral infections to preventing future outbreaks. Conventional diagnostic methods for virus detection are expensive and time consuming. There is an immediate requirement for a sensitive, reliable, rapid and easy-to-use Point-of-Care (PoC) diagnostic technology. Electrochemical biosensors have the potential to fulfill these requirements, but they are less sensitive for sensing viruses/viral infections. However, sensitivity and performance of these electrochemical platforms can be improved by integrating carbon nanostructure, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). These nanostructures offer excellent electrical property, biocompatibility, chemical stability, mechanical strength and, large surface area that are most desired in developing PoC diagnostic tools for detecting viral infections with speed, sensitivity, and cost-effectiveness. This review summarizes recent advancements made toward integrating graphene/CNTs nanostructures and their surface modifications useful for developing new generation of electrochemical nanobiosensors for detecting viral infections. The review also provides prospects and considerations for extending the graphene/CNTs based electrochemical transducers into portable and wearable PoC tools that can be useful in preventing future outbreaks and pandemics.

Disposable Voltammetric Sensor Modified with Block Copolymer-Dispersed Graphene for Simultaneous Determination of Dopamine and Ascorbic Acid in Ex Vivo Mouse Brain Tissue. BIOSENSORS-BASEL 2021; 11:bios11100368. [PMID: 34677324 PMCID: PMC8534151 DOI: 10.3390/bios11100368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Revised: 09/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Dopamine (DA) and ascorbic acid (AA) are two important biomarkers with similar oxidation potentials. To facilitate their simultaneous electrochemical detection, a new voltammetric sensor was developed by modifying a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with a newly synthesized block copolymer (poly(DMAEMA-b-styrene), PDbS) as a dispersant for reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The prepared PDbS–rGO and the modified SPCE were characterized using a range of physical and electrochemical techniques including Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and linear sweep voltammetry. Compared to the bare SPCE, the PDbS–rGO-modified SPCE (PDbS–rGO/SPCE) showed better sensitivity and peak-to-peak separation for DA and AA in mixed solutions. Under the optimum conditions, the dynamic linear ranges for DA and AA were 0.1–300 and 10–1100 µM, and the detection limits were 0.134 and 0.88 µM (S/N = 3), respectively. Furthermore, PDbS–rGO/SPCE exhibited considerably enhanced anti-interference capability, high reproducibility, and storage stability for four weeks. The practical potential of the PDbS–rGO/SPCE sensor for measuring DA and AA was demonstrated using ex vivo brain tissues from a Parkinson’s disease mouse model and the control.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been widely investigated in recent years due to their outstanding physicochemical properties. Their remarkable characteristics allied to their capability of being easily synthesized and combined with other materials have allowed their use as electrochemical sensing platforms. In this work, we survey recent applications of GQDs-based nanocomposites in electrochemical sensors and biosensors. Firstly, the main characteristics and synthesis methods of GQDs are addressed. Next, the strategies generally used to obtain the GQDs nanocomposites are discussed. Emphasis is given on the applications of GQDs combined with distinct 0D, 1D, 2D nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), ionic liquids, as well as other types of materials, in varied electrochemical sensors and biosensors for detecting analytes of environmental, medical, and agricultural interest. We also discuss the current trends and challenges towards real applications of GQDs in electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
The development of a proficient and ultra-high sensitive functionalized electrode for accurate analysis of drugs is a long-standing challenge. Herein, we report an electrochemical nanocomposite scaffold, comprising of silver nanoparticles integrated with functionalized carbon nanotubes (COOH-CNTs/Ag/NH2-CNTs) for the simultaneous quantification of two widely used amlodipine (AM) and atorvastatin (AT) drugs. The sandwiched nanocomposite materials were thoroughly characterized morphologically and structurally. The nanocomposite COOH-CNTs/Ag/NH2-CNTs immobilized over glassy carbon electrode catalyzed electron transfer reactions at the electrode–electrolyte interface and facilitated detection of targeted drugs, as revealed by the significant decrease in oxidation potentials at 879 mV and 1040 mV and improved current signals. Electrochemical characterization and testing show that the functionalized porous architecture with a large effective surface area is a promising scaffold for the sensing of a binary mixture of AM and AT with limits of detection in the femtomolar range (77.6 fM, and 83.2 fM, respectively). Besides, the specificity, stability, and reliability of the electrochemical sensing platform in simple and complex biological and pharmaceutical samples with high percentage recoveries highlight its scope for practical applications. Computational studies supported the experimental outcomes and offered insights about the role of modifier in facilitating electron transfer between transducer and analytes.

Abstract
The extraordinary prerequisite for the analysis of an anabolic steroid, namely dianabol (DB), has inspired towards the development of a cost-effective and high-performance sensing probe. Thus, a simple and robust electrochemical sensor (c-MWCNTs-Nafion®lGCE) for dianabol (DB), a widely used steroid, was developed using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with functionalized carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (c-MWCNT) and Nafion®. At pH 7 - 8, differential pulse-cathodic stripping voltammetry (DP-CSV) displayed two cathodic peaks at -0.85 and -1.35 V that varied linearly over a wide range (9.0 × 10-9 (2.7 μg L-1) - 9.0 × 10-6 (2.7 × 103 μg L-1) mol L-1) and 2.9 × 10-6 (8.7 × 102 μg L-1) - 8.0 × 10-5 (2.4 × 104 μg L-1) mol L-1) of DB concentrations, respectively. The low limits of detection and quantification at peak I (-0.85 V) were 2.7 × 10-9 (8.1 × 10-1 ng mL-1) and 9.0 × 10-9 (2.7 ng mL-1) mol L-1, respectively. The repeatability and reproducibility displayed relative standard deviations lower than 5%. The method was applied for DB analysis in human urine and subsequently compared with the standard HPLC method. Interference of common metabolites in biological fluids samples to DB sensing was insignificant. This method has distinctive advantages e.g. precise, short analytical time, sensitive, economical, reproducible and miniaturized sample preparation for DB analysis in biological samples of human origin.

Abstract
In this paper, Fe3O4@ppy-Pt core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) could be produced and utilized for the development of a novel electrochemical sensor to detect 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). 6-MP determination was examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CHA), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at Fe3O4@ppy-Pt core-shell NPs modified screen printed electrode (Fe3O4@ppy-Pt/SPE) in phosphate buffered solution (PBS). The outcomes obtained from DPV demonstrated that the Fe3O4@ppy-Pt/SPE proved a linear concentration range among 0.04 and 330.0 μM having a detection limit of 10.0 nM for 6-MP. Also, modified electrode was satisfactorily utilized to detect 6-MP in the presence of 6-thioguanine (6-TG). This sensor showed two separate oxidative peaks at 530 mV for 6-MP and at 730 mV for 6-TG with a peak potential separation of 200 mV which was large enough for simultaneous detection of the two anticancer drugs. In addition, the proposed sensor presented long-term stability, good repeatability, and excellent reproducibility. Finally, the modified electrode demonstrated satisfactory outcomes while used in real samples, proposing the appropriate potential of Fe3O4@ppy-Pt/SPE in the case of clinical diagnosis, biological samples and pharmaceutical compounds analysis.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the world, despite all efforts in infection control and treatment/vaccine development. Hospitals are currently overcrowded, with health statuses of patients often being hard to gauge. Therefore, methods for determining infection severity need to be developed so that high-risk patients can be prioritized, resources can be efficiently distributed, and fatalities can be prevented. Electrochemical prognostic biosensing of various biomarkers may hold promise in solving these problems as they are low-cost and provide timely results. Therefore, we have reviewed the literature and extracted the most promising biomarkers along with their most favourable electrochemical sensors. The biomarkers discussed in this paper are C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukins (ILs), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interferons (IFNs), glutamate, breath pH, lymphocytes, platelets, neutrophils and D-dimer. Metabolic syndrome is also discussed as comorbidity for COVID-19 patients, as it increases infection severity and raises chances of becoming infected. Cannabinoids, especially cannabidiol (CBD), are discussed as a potential adjunct therapy for COVID-19 as their medicinal properties may be desirable in minimizing the neurodegenerative or severe inflammatory damage caused by severe COVID-19 infection. Currently, hospitals are struggling to provide adequate care; thus, point-of-care electrochemical sensor development needs to be prioritized to provide an approximate prognosis for hospital patients. During and following the immediate aftermath of the pandemic, electrochemical sensors can also be integrated into wearable and portable devices to help patients monitor recovery while returning to their daily lives. Beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, these sensors will also prove useful for monitoring inflammation-based diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Proteins are generally detected as biomarkers for tracing or determining various disorders in organisms. Biomarker proteins can be tracked in samples with various origins and in different concentrations, revealing whether an organism is in a healthy or unhealthy state. In regard to detection, electrochemical biosensors are a potential fusion of electronics, chemistry, and biology, allowing for fast and early point-of-care detection from a biological sample with the advantages of high sensitivity, simple construction, and easy operation. Peptides present a promising approach as a biorecognition element when connected with electrochemical biosensors. The benefits of short peptides lie mainly in their good stability and selective affinity to a target analyte. Therefore, peptide-based electrochemical biosensors (PBEBs) represent an alternative approach for the detection of different protein biomarkers. This review provides a summary of the past decade of recently proposed PBEBs designed for protein detection, dividing them according to different protein types: (i) enzyme detection, including proteases and kinases; (ii) antibody detection; and (iii) other protein detection. According to these protein types, different sensing mechanisms are discussed, such as the peptide cleavage by a proteases, phosphorylation by kinases, presence of antibodies, and exploiting of affinities; furthermore, measurements are obtained by different electrochemical methods. A discussion and comparison of various constructions, modifications, immobilization strategies and different sensing techniques in terms of high sensitivity, selectivity, repeatability, and potential for practical application are presented.

Abstract
Despite the importance of chromium (Cr) in most anthropogenic activities, the subsequent environmental adulteration is now a source of major concern. Cr occurs in numerous oxidation states, with the furthermost stable and frequently occur states being Cr(0), Cr(III) and Cr(VI). Cr(0) and Cr(III) are vital trace elements while Cr(VI) is dispensable and noxious to living organisms. Predominantly in plants, Cr at low concentrations of about 0.05-1 mg/L assist to boost growth as well as increase productivity. However, accumulation of Cr could represent a potential threat to living organisms. Cr absorption, displacement and accretion depend on its speciation, which also determines its toxicity which is often diverse. Indications of its toxicity include; reduction of seed germination, retardation of growth, reduction of yield, inhibition of enzymatic activities, weakening of photosynthesis, nutrient, oxidative disparities and genetic mutation in plants as well as several injurious diseases in animals and humans. In this study, we have presented a comprehensive review as well as an informative account of the influence of Cr on the environment drawn from researches carried out over the years following an analytical approach. Uniquely, this work presents a review of the effects and remediation of Cr from soil and wastewater drawn from several evidence and meta-data-based articles and other publications. Accordingly, the write-up is intended to appeal to the consciousness of the general public that the significance of Cr notwithstanding, its environmental toxicity should not be taken for granted.

[PMID: 32928428 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.121417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2020] [Revised: 07/10/2020] [Accepted: 07/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
A new protocol for the analysis of the azo-dye carmoisine (CMS) is presented by coupling differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with a cathodically pretreated boron-doped diamond electrode (CPT-BDDE), in phosphate buffer solution (pH 2.0). The CMS presented diffusion-controlled oxidation and reduction peaks at +0.88 and -0.15 V vs Ag/AgCl, respectively. The effect of the pretreatment conditions, pH, and supporting electrolytes were evaluated to the voltammetric determination of CMS. Under optimized conditions, the differential pulse voltammetric signals for CMS were linear over the concentration range of 0.059-1.31 μmol L-1 and 0.010-0.079 μmol L-1 with limits of detection of 7.0 and 3.0 nmol L-1, for the anodic and cathodic processes respectively. The method was precise for CMS determination (RSD < 5.0%) and selective against other dyes. The developed protocol was successfully applied in the analysis of CMS in surface water and foodstuffs with accurate results in comparison with those obtained using a validated spectrophotometric method.

Abstract
Applications of electrochemical detection methods in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) has revolutionized the area of point-of-care (POC) testing towards highly sensitive and selective quantification of various (bio)chemical analytes in a miniaturized, low-coat, rapid, and user-friendly manner. Shortly after the initiation, these relatively new modulations of μPADs, named as electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (ePADs), gained widespread popularity within the POC research community thanks to the inherent advantages of both electrochemical sensing and usage of paper as a suitable substrate for POC testing platforms. Even though general aspects of ePADs such as applications and fabrication techniques, have already been reviewed multiple times in the literature, herein, we intend to provide a critical engineering insight into the area of ePADs by focusing particularly on the practical strategies utilized to enhance their analytical performance (i.e. sensitivity), while maintaining the desired simplicity and efficiency intact. Basically, the discussed strategies are driven by considering the parameters potentially affecting the generated electrochemical signal in the ePADs. Some of these parameters include the type of filter paper, electrode fabrication methods, electrode materials, fluid flow patterns, etc. Besides, the limitations and challenges associated with the development of ePADs are discussed, and further insights and directions for future research in this field are proposed.

Abstract
The usage of boron-doped diamond (BDD) material has found to be very attractive in modern electroanalytical methods and received massive consideration as perspective electrochemical sensor due to its outstanding (electro)chemical properties. These generally known facilities include large potential window, low background currents, ability to withstand extreme potentials and strong tendency to resist fouling compared to conventional carbon-based electrodes. As evidence of superiority of this material, couple of reviews describing the overview of various applications of BDD electrodes in the field of analytical and material chemistry has been reported in scientific literature during last decade. However, herein proposed review predominantly focuses on the most recent developments (from 2009 to 2020) dealing with the application of BDD as an advanced and environmental-friendly sensor platform in food analysis. The main method characteristics of analysis of various organic food components with different chemical properties, including additives, flavor and aroma components, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and pesticides in food matrices are described in more details. The importance of BDD surface termination, presence of sp2 content and boron doping level on electrochemical sensing is discussed. Apart from this, a special attention is paid to the evaluation of main analytical characteristics of the BDD electrochemical sensor in single- and multi-analyte detection mode in food analysis. The recent achievements in the utilizing of BDD electrodes in amperometric detection coupled to flow injection analysis, batch injection analysis, and high-performance liquid chromatography are also commented. Moreover, actual trends in sample preparation techniques prior to electrochemical sensing in food analysis are referred.
