PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 318:124484. [PMID: 38788504 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
A novel rhodamine-based multi-ion fluorescent sensor, RGN, was designed and synthesized for the highly selective detection of mercury ions (Hg2+) in ethanol and water systems, as well as trivalent cations (Fe3+, Al3+, and Cr3+) in acetonitrile and water systems using a two-step Schiff base reaction method. Nuclear magnetic titration experiments and theoretical calculations demonstrated that the sensor achieved the detection of the aforementioned metal ions through the fluorescence turn-on phenomenon induced by lactam ring-opening. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation results showed decreased HOMO-LUMO energy gaps and increased dipole moments, indicating the effective coordination of the sensor with the corresponding metal ions to form more stable complexes, thereby achieving detection objectives. Furthermore, the fluorescence turn-on sensor RGN exhibited relatively low detection limits, with limits of detection (LOD) for Fe3+, Al3+, Cr3+, and Hg2+ being 10.20 nM, 14.66 nM, 58.78 nM, and 73.33 nM, respectively. Finally, practical applications of sensor RGN in environmental water samples, L929 cells, and zebrafish were demonstrated, indicating its potential for detecting and tracking Fe3+, Al3+, Cr3+, and Hg2+ in environmental samples and biological systems, with prospects for biomedical applications in the diagnosis and treatment of heavy metal ion-induced diseases.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-Gala) is an essential biomarker enzyme for early detection of breast tumors and cellular senescence. Creating an accurate way to monitor β-Gala activity is critical for biological research and early cancer detection. This work used fluorometric, colorimetric, and paper-based color sensing approaches to determine β-Gala activity effectively. Via the sensing performance, the catalytic activity of β-Gala resulted in silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs), fluorescent indicators obtained via a one-pot hydrothermal process. As a standard enzymatic hydrolysis product of the substrate, kaempferol 3-O-β-d-galactopyranoside (KOβDG) caused the fluorometric signal to be attenuated on kaempferol-silicon nanoparticles (K-SiNPs). The sensing methods demonstrated a satisfactory linear response in sensing β-Gala and a low detection limit. The findings showed the low limit of detection (LOD) as 0.00057 and 0.098 U/mL for fluorometric and colorimetric, respectively. The designed probe was then used to evaluate the catalytic activity of β-Gala in yogurt and human serum, with recoveries ranging from 98.33 to 107.9%. The designed sensing approach was also applied to biological sample analysis. In contrast, breast cancer cells (MCF-7) were used as a model to test the in vitro toxicity and molecular fluorescence imaging potential of K-SiNPs. Hence, our fluorescent K-SiNPs can be used in the clinic to diagnose breast cellular carcinoma, since they can accurately measure the presence of invasive ductal carcinoma in serologic tests.

Carbon dots derived from expired drugs based ratiometric fluorescent sensor for horseradish peroxidase in fruits and vegetables and screening inhibitors. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:109. [PMID: 38246895 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-023-06160-9] [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: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Household storage of pharmaceuticals to extract raw materials synthesized from carbon points facilitates the utilization of solid waste resources. A novel ratiometric fluorescence sensing technique was developed to ascertain the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in fruits and vegetables. The method employed a fluorescent probe, synthesized from expired amoxicillin (referred to as carbon dots, or A-CDs), serving as a reference fluorophore. Additionally, 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) was utilized as a specific response signal. DAP resulted from a catalytic reaction system involving phenylenediamine and hydrogen peroxide under the catalysis of HRP. The fluorescence intensity corresponding to DAP at 562 nm exhibited a substantial increase, simultaneous with the fluorescence quenching of A-CDs at 450 nm. The ratiometric fluorescence nanosensors displayed a broad linear range and high sensitivity for the detection of HRP. Across the concentration range 0.01 to 6 U L-1, the fluorescence intensity ratio between DAP and A-CDs demonstrated a proportional increase with rising HRP concentration, achieving an impressive detection limit of 0.002 U L-1. The recovery of HRP in fruit and vegetable samples ranged from 96.1 to 103%, with an RSD value of less than 3.8%. The proposed method facilitated the screening of inhibitors of HRP enzyme activity, contributing to the preservation of freshness in fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
The sensing of heavy metal ion and information encryption are two very important research areas. Therefore, developing multi-functional materials capable of sensing heavy metal ions and encrypting information is highly important. In this work, three [1 + 1] lanthanide clusters [Ln(TFBA)3(dmp) (H2O)2]2 (Ln = Tb3+Tb1+1, Eu3+Eu1+1, Gd3+Gd1+1, HTFBA = 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoic acid, dmp = 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) were designed and synthesized. Among them, Tb1+1 shows excellent luminescence sensing towards Hg2+ (Ex = 350 nm, Em = 545 nm). Results demonstrates the sensing with high selectivity, strong anti-interference, 20-s response time, high accuracy, excellent linear relationship in 0-20.0 μM, and a very low limit of detection (0.02 ppb). Furthermore, paper strips based on Tb1+1 is fabricated for visual detection of Hg2+ in real samples of tap water, lake water, human urine, and human serum. More interestingly, a new method for confidentiality of information is realized through multi-color anti-counterfeiting patterns with the [1 + 1] lanthanide cluster ink, based on the luminescence "on-off" sensing towards Hg2+.

A novel "Turn-on" fluorometric assays triggered reaction for β-glucosidase activity based on quercetin derived silicon nanoparticles and its potential use for cell imaging. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1280:341880. [PMID: 37858561 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341880] [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: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
β-Glucosidase (β-Gluco) is an enzyme that is crucial to numerous diseases, including cancer, and in sector of industries, it is used in the manufacturing of food. Measuring its enzymatic activity is critical for biomedical studies and other activities. Herein, we have developed a novel and precise fluorescent sensing method for measuring β-Gluco activity based on the production of yellow-green fluorescent quercetin-silicon nanoparticles (Q-SiNPs) produced from quercetin (QN) as a reducing agent and 3-[2-(2-aminoethyl amino) ethylamino] propyl-trimethoxy silane (AEEA) as a silane molecule. β-Gluco hydrolyzed quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (QO-β-DG) to produce QN, which was then used to produce Q-SiNPs. Reaction parameters, including temperature, time, buffer, pH, and probe concentration, were carefully tuned in this study. Subsequently, the fluorescence intensity was performed, showing good linearity (R2 = 0.989), a broad linear dynamic range between 0.5 and 12 U L-1, and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.428 U L-1, which was proven by fluorescence measurements. Most importantly, various parameters were detected and characterized with or without β-Gluco. The designed probe was successively used to assess β-Gluco activity in human serum and moldy bread. However, the mathematical findings revealed recoveries for human serum ranging from 99.3 to 101.66% and for moldy bread from 100.11 to 102.5%. Additionally, Q-SiNPs were well suited to being incubated in vitro with L929 and SiHa living cells, and after using an Olympus microscope, imaging showed good fluorescence cell images, and their viability evinced minimal cytotoxicity of 77% for L929 and 88% for SiHa. The developed fluorescence biosensor showed promise for general use in diagnostic tests. Therefore, due to this outstanding sensing modality, we anticipate that this research can provide a novel schematic project for creating simple nanostructures with a suitable plan and a green synthetic option for enzyme activity and cell imaging.
