[PMID: 38710143 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116348] [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: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) serves as a potent tool for adjusting drug concentration within a reasonable range. However, continuous monitoring of anticancer drugs in-vivo presents a significant challenge. Herein, we propose a needle-in-needle electrochemical sensor based on an acupuncture needle electrode, capable of monitoring the anticancer drug etoposide in the peritoneal cavity of living rats. The acupuncture needle was modified with Au nanoparticles and etoposide-templated molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), resulting in high sensitivity and selectivity in the electrochemical detection of etoposide. The modified acupuncture needle (0.16 mm diameter) was anchored inside a syringe needle (1.40 mm diameter), allowing the outer syringe needle to protect the modified materials of the inner acupuncture needle during skin piercing. Due to the unique needle-in-needle design, high stability was obtained during in-vivo etoposide monitoring. Connecting to a smartphone-controlled portable electrochemical workstation, the needle-in-needle sensor offers great convenience in point-of-care TDM. Moreover, the electrode materials on the acupuncture needle were carefully characterized and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, low detection limits and wide linear range were achieved. This work provides new insights into acupuncture needle electrochemical sensors and further expands the feasibility for real-time and in-vivo detection.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely studied for biomedical applications due to their excellent properties, such as good biocompatibility, degradability, interlayer ion exchangeability, high loading capacity, pH-responsive release, and large specific surface area. Furthermore, the flexibility in the structural composition and ease of surface modification of LDHs makes it possible to develop specifically functionalized LDHs to meet the needs of different applications. In this review, the recent advances of LDHs for biomedical applications, which include LDH-based drug delivery systems, LDHs for cancer diagnosis and therapy, tissue engineering, coatings, functional membranes, and biosensors, are comprehensively discussed. From these various biomedical research fields, it can be seen that there is great potential and possibility for the use of LDHs in biomedical applications. However, at the same time, it must be recognized that the actual clinical translation of LDHs is still very limited. Therefore, the current limitations of related research on LDHs are discussed by combining limited examples of actual clinical translation with requirements for clinical translation of biomaterials. Finally, an outlook on future research related to LDHs is provided.

Abstract
The prompt detection of diseases hinges on the accessibility and the capability to identify relevant biomarkers. The integration of aptamers and the incorporation of nanomaterials into signal transducers have not only expedited but also enhanced the development of nanoaptasensors, enabling heightened sensitivity and selectivity. Here, the bimetallic nickel-cobalt-porphyrin metal-organic framework ((Ni + Cu)TPyP MOF) is regarded as an electron mediator, immobilization platform for an Alzheimer aptamer and to increase the electrochemical signal for the detection of the main biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyloid β (Aβ-42). Furthermore, the ((Ni + Cu)TPyP MOF) was combined with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), on a gold electrode (GE) to provide an efficient interface for immobilizing aptamer strands. Concurrently, the incorporation of rGO and AuNPs imparts enhanced electrical conductivity and efficacious catalytic activity, establishing them as adept electrochemical indicators. Owing to the superior excellent electrical conductivity of rGO and AuNPs, coupled with the presence of ample mesoporous channels and numerous Ni and Cu metal sites within (Ni + Cu)TPyP MOF, this nanostructure with abundant functional groups is proficient in immobilizing a substantial quantity of aptamer. These interactions are achieved through robust π-π stacking and electrostatic interactions, alongside the high affinity between the thiol group of the aptamer and AuNPs concurrently. The as-prepared ternary (Au@(Ni + Cu)TPyP MOF/rGO) nanostructure electrode exhibited an enhancement in its electrochemically active surface area of about 7 times, compared with the bare electrode and the Aβ-42 redox process is highly accelerated, so the peak currents are significantly higher than those obtained with bare GE substrate. Under the optimized conditions, the designed aptasensor had the quantitative detection of Aβ-42 with a low detection limit of 48.6 fg mL-1 within the linear range of 0.05 pg mL-1 to 5 ng mL-1 by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), accompanied by precise reproducibility, satisfactory stability (95.6% of the initial activity after 10 days), and minimal impact of interfering agents. Recorded results in human blood plasma demonstrated the high efficacy of porphyrin MOF system sensing even in the clinical matrix. The great performance of this aptasensor indicates that our new design of Au@(Ni + Cu)TPyP MOF/rGO nanostructure provides more opportunities for the detection of chemical signals in early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

[PMID: 38474572 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29051060] [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: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Monitoring etoposide is important due to its wide usage in anti-tumor therapy; however, the commonly used HPLC method is expensive and often requires complicated extraction and detection procedures. Electrochemical analysis has great application prospects because of its rapid response and high specificity, sensitivity, and efficiency with low cost and high convenience. In this study, we constructed a nanoporous gold (NPG)-modified GCE for the detection of etoposide. The electrochemical oxidation of etoposide by NPG caused a sensitive current peak at +0.27 V with good reproductivity in 50 mM of phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The relationship between etoposide concentration and peak current was linear in the range between 0.1 and 20 μM and between 20 and 150 μM, with a detection sensitivity of 681.8 μA mM-1 cm-2 and 197.2 μA mM-1 cm-2, respectively, and a limit of detection (LOD) reaching 20 nM. The electrode had a good anti-interference ability to several common anions and cations. Spiked recovery tests in serum, urine, and fermentation broth verified the excellent performance of the sensor in terms of sensitivity, reproducibility, and specificity. This may provide a promising tool for the detection of etoposide in biological samples.

Abstract
Drug resistance in cancer is associated with overexpression of the multidrug resistance (MDR1) gene, leading to the failure of cancer chemotherapy treatment. Therefore, the establishment of an effective method for the detection of the MDR1 gene is extremely crucial in cancer clinical therapy. Here, we report a novel DNA biosensor based on an aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) array modified electrode with 3D nanostructure for the determination of the MDR1 gene. The microstructure of the modified electrode was observed by an atomic force microscope (AFM), which demonstrated that the electrode interface was arranged in orderly needle-shaped protrusion arrays. The electrochemical properties of the biosensor were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Chronocoulometry (CC) was used for the quantitative detection of the MDR1 gene. Taking advantage of the good conductivity and large electrode area of the MWCNT arrays, this electrochemical DNA sensor achieved a dynamic range from 1.0 × 10-12 M to 1.0 × 10-8 M with a minimal detection limit of 6.4 × 10-13 M. In addition, this proposed DNA biosensor exhibited high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, which may be useful for the trace analysis of the MDR1 gene in complex samples.

Abstract
Whole blood, as one of the most significant biological fluids, provides critical information for health management and disease monitoring. Over the past 10 years, advances in nanotechnology, microfluidics, and biomarker research have spurred the development of powerful miniaturized diagnostic systems for whole blood testing toward the goal of disease monitoring and treatment. Among the techniques employed for whole-blood diagnostics, electrochemical biosensors, as known to be rapid, sensitive, capable of miniaturization, reagentless and washing free, become a class of emerging technology to achieve the target detection specifically and directly in complex media, e.g., whole blood or even in the living body. Here we are aiming to provide a comprehensive review to summarize advances over the past decade in the development of electrochemical sensors for whole blood analysis. Further, we address the remaining challenges and opportunities to integrate electrochemical sensing platforms.

Abstract
Currently, nanomaterials with exceptional antibacterial activity have become an emerging domain in research. The optimization of nanomaterials against infection causing agents is the next step in dealing with the present-day problem of antibiotics. In this research work, Ag2O, CoFe2O4, and Ag2O/CoFe2O4/rGO are prepared by chemical methods. Ag2O was prepared by co-precipitation method, while solvothermal technique was utilized for the synthesis of CoFe2O4. The ternary nanocomposite was synthesized by a simple in situ reduction using a two-step approach. The structural and morphological properties were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). From the X-ray diffraction analysis, the crystallite size is found to be 14 nm, 5 nm, and 6 nm for Ag2O, CoFe2O4, and Ag2O/CoFe2O4/rGO respectively. The synthesized nanomaterials were investigated for antibacterial activities against gram-positive strain Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and gram-negative strain Escherichia coli (E. coli) using Agar well diffusion method. Ag2O and CoFe2O4 showed zones of inhibition (ZOI) of 13 mm and 11 mm against gram positive bacteria while 12 mm against gram negative bacteria respectively, while ternary nanocomposite showed 14 mm and 13 mm of ZOI. The antibacterial activity of nanomaterials showed a gradual increment with an increase in the concentration of the materials. Ag2O, CoFe2O4, and Ag2O/CoFe2O4/rGO showed minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 4.5, 6.5, and 4.5 μg/mL for S. aureus and 6.5, 7.2, and 4.8 μg/mL for E. coli respectively. Minimum bactericidal concentrations were found to be same as the MIC values. Additionally, a time-kill curve analysis was performed and for ternary nanocomposite; the killing response was most effective as the complete killing was achieved at 3 h of incubation at 3-MIC (9.75 μg/mL). These results demonstrate that all the nanomaterials, as a kind of antibacterial material, have a great potential for a wide range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
The search for new molecular recognition systems has become the goal of modern electrochemistry. Creating a matrix in which properties can be controlled to obtain a desired analytical signal is an essential part of creating such tools. The aim of this work was to modify the surface of electrodes based on transparent conductive oxides with the use of selected alkoxysilanes (3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, trimethoxy(propyl)silane, and trimethoxy(octyl)silane). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry techniques, as well as contact angle measurements, were used to determine the properties of the obtained layers. Here, we prove that not only was the structure of alkoxysilanes taken into account but also the conditions of the modification process-reaction conditions (time and temperature), double alkoxysilane modification, and mono- and binary component modification. Our results enabled the identification of the parameters that are important to ensure the effectiveness of the modification process. Moreover, we confirmed that the selection of the correct alkoxysilane allows the surface properties of the electrode material to be controlled and, consequently, the charge transfer process at the electrode/solution interface, hence enabling the creation of selective molecular recognition systems.

Abstract
High-valence heavy metals with high ecotoxicity are generally found in water in the form of anions, and this increases heavy metal pollution intensity and treatment difficulty. Recent studies have pointed to the potential efficiency of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) to meet this challenge. In this review, we retrospectively research the development of LDHs using a Java application called CiteSpace. We describe the unique layer structure, highly adjustable chemical properties, and diverse synthesis methods of LDHs, all of which decide the effective adsorption of heavy metal anions by LDHs. Subsequently, we focus on discussing the adsorption mechanism of LDHs on heavy metal anions, as well as the current state of research and future directions for microscopic interaction mechanisms. For practical applications, it is critical to improve the adsorption selectivity and stability. We then recommend solutions to improve the adsorption selectivity and stability after identifying the influencing mechanism. Finally, we provide our perspectives on the future development of LDHs adsorption of heavy metal anions.

Abstract
Cancer is most frequently treated with antineoplastic agents (ANAs) that are hazardous to patients undergoing chemotherapy and the healthcare workers who handle ANAs in the course of their duties. All aspects related to hazardous oncological drugs illustrate that the monitoring of ANAs is essential to minimize the risks associated with these drugs. Among all analytical techniques used to test ANAs, electrochemistry holds an important position. This review, for the first time, comprehensively describes the progress done in electrochemistry of ANAs by means of a variety of bare or modified (bio)sensors over the last four decades (in the period of 1982-2021). Attention is paid not only to the development of electrochemical sensing protocols of ANAs in various biological, environmental, and pharmaceutical matrices but also to achievements of electrochemical techniques in the examination of the interactions of ANAs with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), carcinogenic cells, biomimetic membranes, peptides, and enzymes. Other aspects, including the enantiopurity studies, differentiation between single-stranded and double-stranded DNA without using any label or tag, studies on ANAs degradation, and their pharmacokinetics, by means of electrochemical techniques are also commented. Finally, concluding remarks that underline the existence of a significant niche for the basic electrochemical research that should be filled in the future are presented.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), with versatile physicochemical advantages including excellent biocompatibility, pH-sensitive biodegradability, highly tunable chemical composition and structure, and ease of composite formation with other materials, have shown great promise in biomedical applications. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent advances in LDH-based nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

The preparation and surface modification of LDH-based nanomaterials, including pristine LDHs, LDH-based nanocomposites and LDH-derived nanomaterials, are then described. Thereafter, we systematically describe the great potential of LDHs in biomedical applications including drug/gene delivery, bioimaging diagnosis, cancer therapy, biosensing, tissue engineering, and anti-bacteria. Finally, on the basis of the current state of the art, we conclude with insights on the remaining challenges and future prospects in this rapidly emerging field.

Abstract
Graphene and graphene oxide have become the base of many advanced biosensors due to their exceptional characteristics. However, lack of some properties, such as inertness of graphene in organic solutions and non-electrical conductivity of graphene oxide, are their drawbacks in sensing applications. To compensate for these shortcomings, various methods of modifications have been developed to provide the appropriate properties required for biosensing. Efficient modification of graphene and graphene oxide facilitates the interaction of biomolecules with their surface, and the ultimate bioconjugate can be employed as the main sensing part of the biosensors. Graphene nanomaterials as transducers increase the signal response in various sensing applications. Their large surface area and perfect biocompatibility with lots of biomolecules provide the prerequisite of a stable biosensor, which is the immobilization of bioreceptor on transducer. Biosensor development has paramount importance in the field of environmental monitoring, security, defense, food safety standards, clinical sector, marine sector, biomedicine, and drug discovery. Biosensor applications are also prevalent in the plant biology sector to find the missing links required in the metabolic process. In this review, the importance of oxygen functional groups in functionalizing the graphene and graphene oxide and different types of functionalization will be explained. Moreover, immobilization of biomolecules (such as protein, peptide, DNA, aptamer) on graphene and graphene oxide and at the end, the application of these biomaterials in biosensors with different transducing mechanisms will be discussed.

Abstract
A new catalase amperometric biosensor for hydroperoxides detection has been built as part of research aimed at the development of biosensors based on layered double hydroxides (LDH) used as support for enzyme immobilization. The fabricated device differs from those developed so far, usually based on an LDH enzyme nanocomposite adsorbed on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode and cross-linked by glutaraldehyde, since it is based on an amperometric gas diffusion electrode (Clark type) instead of a GC electrode. The new biosensor, which still uses LDH synthesized by us and catalase enzyme, is robust and compact, shows a lower LOD (limit of detection) value and a linearity range shifted at lower concentrations than direct amperometric GC biosensor, but above all, it is not affected by turbidity or emulsions, or by the presence of possible soluble species, which are reduced to the cathode at the same redox potential. This made it possible to carry out accurate and efficient determination of H2O2 even in complex or cloudy real matrices, also containing very low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, such as milk and cosmetic products, i.e., matrices that would have been impossible to analyze otherwise, using conventional biosensors based on a GC–LDH enzyme. An inaccuracy ≤ 7.7% for cosmetic samples and ≤8.0% for milk samples and a precision between 0.7 and 1.5 (as RSD%), according to cosmetic or milk samples analyzed, were achieved.

Abstract
Ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (FMNPs) are gaining popularity to design biosensors for high-performance clinical diagnosis. The fusion of information shows that FMNPs based biosensors require well-tuned FMNPs as detection probes to produce large and specific biological signals with minimal non-specific binding. Nevertheless, there is a noticeable lacuna of information to solve the issues related to suitable synthesis route, particle size reduction, functionalization, sensitivity towards targeted intercellular biological tiny particles, and lower signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore it allows exploring unique characteristics of FMNPs to design a suitable sensing device for intracellular measurements and diseases detection. This review focuses on the extensively used synthesis routes, their advantages and limitations, crystalline structure, functionalization, along with recent applications of FMNPs in biosensors, taking into consideration their analytical figures of merit and range of linearity. This work also addresses the current progress, key factors for sensitivity, selectivity and productivity improvement along with the challenges, future trends and perspectives of FMNPs based biosensors.

DNA Electrochemical Biosensors for In Situ Probing of Pharmaceutical Drug Oxidative DNA Damage. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21041125. [PMID: 33562790 PMCID: PMC7915242 DOI: 10.3390/s21041125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2021] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) electrochemical biosensors are devices that incorporate immobilized DNA as a molecular recognition element on the electrode surface, and enable probing in situ the oxidative DNA damage. A wide range of DNA electrochemical biosensor analytical and biotechnological applications in pharmacology are foreseen, due to their ability to determine in situ and in real-time the DNA interaction mechanisms with pharmaceutical drugs, as well as with their degradation products, redox reaction products, and metabolites, and due to their capacity to achieve quantitative electroanalytical evaluation of the drugs, with high sensitivity, short time of analysis, and low cost. This review presents the design and applications of label-free DNA electrochemical biosensors that use DNA direct electrochemical oxidation to detect oxidative DNA damage. The DNA electrochemical biosensor development, from the viewpoint of electrochemical and atomic force microscopy (AFM) characterization, and the bottom-up immobilization of DNA nanostructures at the electrode surface, are described. Applications of DNA electrochemical biosensors that enable the label-free detection of DNA interactions with pharmaceutical compounds, such as acridine derivatives, alkaloids, alkylating agents, alkylphosphocholines, antibiotics, antimetabolites, kinase inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, metal complexes, nucleoside analogs, and phenolic compounds, which can be used in drug analysis and drug discovery, and may lead to future screening systems, are reviewed.

Vajedi FS, Dehghani H, Zarrabi A. Design and characterization of a novel pH-sensitive biocompatible and multifunctional nanocarrier for in vitro paclitaxel release. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 119:111627. [PMID: 33321668 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2020] [Revised: 09/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the main reasons of women's mortality. A novel ternary combination of ZnAl-layered double hydroxides (LDH), cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) and N-graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) proposes a pH-sensitive multifunctional nanocomposite that can improve therapeutic features of each compound; this is a notable strategy to make biocompatible materials with unique properties for paclitaxel (PTX) delivery in breast cancer cells. For proving the surface modification process of materials, electrochemical techniques including cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were carried out. By coating PEG on the surface of the N-GQDs/CoFe2O4/LDH, it developed a drug delivery system with low toxicity, an excellent encapsulation efficiency 88.4%, drug loading capacity of ca. 31%, and slow and sustained release behavior (9% after 72 h) under normal physiological conditions. Besides, a high drug release (~69%) at low-pH as a model of the extracellular tumor environment indicated a pH-sensitive release behavior. Moreover, cell viability assay proved the negligible cytotoxicity on normal cells (L929) and the improved growth inhibition effect of PTX/N-GQDs/CoFe2O4/LDH nanocarrier on MCF7 cancer cells. Blood compatibility test values with respect to red blood cell aggregation (RBC), coagulation prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and complement activation (C3 and C4 levels) remained within normal ranges without toxicity effect on RBCs and complement factors. Overall, this novel designed PTX/N-GQDs/CoFe2O4/LDH nanocarrier with tremendously biocompatible, slow-release and pH-dependent features could be considered as a theranostic candidate for various anticancer drugs delivery and cancer therapy.
