Talanta 2024; 278:126521. [PMID: 38996559 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
The sensitivity and accuracy of fluorescence probes for biological samples are affected by not only interfering molecule compounds but also the nonspecific adsorption of proteins and other macromolecules. Herein, fluorescence probe based on zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate polymer (PSBMA) as an antibiofouling layer and amino boric acid carbon dots encapsulated in the metal-organic framework UiO-66-NH2 (UiO-66-NH2/BN-CDs) as a target recognition site was designed for the detection of baicalin (BAI). Owing to the introduction of BN-CDs into UiO-66-NH2 with high specific surface area, the prepared UiO-66-NH2/BN-CDs@PSBMA probe exhibited a high adsorption capacity of 78.9 mg g-1, while presented fluorescence enhancing and superior fluorescence selectivity to BAI at excitation and emission wavelengths of 400 and 425 nm, respectively. Connecting PSBMA with good hydrophilicity to UiO-66-NH2, resulted in an anti-protein capacity of over 96.3 %, effectively inhibiting protein interference with the fluorescence signal. By virtue of its good antibiofouling and recognizing capacities, the fluorescence probe exhibited a satisfactory detection range of 10-80 nmol L-1, with a fairly low detection limit of 0.0064 μmol L-1. Using the method to detect BAI in Goji berry, Sophora and Yinhuang oral solution, demonstrating its potential for the accurate and quantitative detection of BAI in complex biological samples.

Liu Y, Qin Z, Liang A, Wen G, Jiang Z. A new N/Fe doped carbon dot nanosurface molecularly imprinted polymethacrylate nanoprobe for trace fipronil with SERS/RRS dimode technique. Talanta 2024; 269:125417. [PMID: 38006731 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
The N and Fe doped carbon dot (CDNFe) was prepared by microwave procedure. Using CDNFe as the nano-substrate, fipronil (FL) as the template molecule and α-methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, the molecular imprinted polymethacrylic acid nanoprobe (CDNFe@MIP) with difunction was synthesized by microwave procedure. The CDNFe@MIP was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, and other techniques. The results show that the nanoprobe not only distinguish FL but also has a strong catalytic effect on the HAuCl4-Na2C2O4 nanogold indicator reaction. When the nanoprobes specifically recognize FL, their catalytic effect is significantly reduced. Since the AuNPs generated by HAuCl4 reduction have strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) effects, a SERS/RRS dual-mode sensing platform for detecting 5-500 ng/L FL was constructed. The new analytical method was applied to detect FL in food samples with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.3-8.1 % and a recovery rate of 94.6-104.5 %.

Multifunctional carbon dots originated from waste garlic peel for rapid sensing of heavy metals and fluorescent imaging of 2D and 3D spheroids cultured fibroblast cells. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 304:123422.

Abstract
Here, we prepared sulfur and nitrogen self-doped carbon dots derived from garlic peel extract (GPSNCDs) using a hydrothermal method. The as-synthesized GPSNCDs were confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The analytical techniques indicate that the resulting GPSNCDs exhibit distinct emissive carbon-core with functionalities (owing to various ligands in the GPSNCDs). These functionalities are responsible for excellent hydrophilic and optical properties, including excitation-dependent emission and anti-photobleaching. Fluorescence intensities of GPSNCDs were quenched in the existence of Mn2+ and Fe3+ ions. This indicates that the GPSNCDs were sensitive to Fe3+ and Mn2+ ions with a limited range from 5 to 50 µM and showed lower recognition at ∼0.75 and 0.95 µM, respectively. In addition, the sensing results were generated in a short time (20 s). The cytotoxicity of GPSNCDs was tested to demonstrate that they are sufficiently safe to use for cellular imaging. The novel fluorescent GPSNCDs-based sensor can be used as a high-performance sensor for environmental monitoring. Further, GPSNCDs showed greater biocompatibility with normal fibroblast cells, and In Vitro fluorescent imaging of GPSNCDs revealed strong fluorescence signals in the two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) spheroids cultured fibroblast cells. The properties mentioned above demonstrate that the GPSNCDs can be applied to imaging normal cells without further modifications.

Abstract
Bacterial infections and antibiotic abuse are a global threat to human health. In recent years, there has been a boom in research on antimicrobial agents with low toxicity and efficient nanomaterials. Boric acid-functionalized carbon dots (B-CDs) with negative surface charge were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Covalent bonds were formed between the boric acid groups and the cis-diol groups of the polysaccharide in the bacterial cell wall, and numerous B-CDs were trapped on the bacterial surface. In the experiments of antibacterial activity, B-CDs presented strong bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) with a minimum bactericidal concentration of 12.5 μg/mL. The antibacterial mechanism suggested that B-CDs entered the cell interior by diffusion and posed significant damage to the double helix structure of E. coli DNA. Furthermore, B-CDs exhibited low toxicity. The results demonstrated that the novel antimicrobial B-CDs not only fought against E. coli infection and antibiotic misuse but also provided new ideas for safe and effective antimicrobial agents of carbon nanomaterials.

Abstract
Carbon dots are emerging fluorescent nanomaterials with unique physical and chemical properties and a wide range of applications. Herein, we have designed and successfully synthesized thermally stable green emissive nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) with a photoluminescent quantum yield of 11.32% through facile solvent-free carbonization. NCDs demonstrated zero thermal quenching upon various temperatures modulating from 20 to 80 °C. The green emissive NCDs perform very stably even after heating them at 80 °C for 1 h. The thermal stability mechanism demonstrates that C═O and C═N functional groups control the particle aggregation and protect the fluorescent hub from photo-oxidation and thermal oxidation. Highly biocompatible CDs exhibit bright, stable, and multicolor emissions in T-ca cells under hot circumstances (25-45 °C). Additionally, NCDs offer long-term stability in the biosystem, as evidenced by the fact that the cell retains its brightness about 70% after prolonging the incubation time to 8 days. Furthermore, the fluorescent NCDs are utilized as in vivo imaging agents in the hot environment as they display bright and thermally stable imaging (27-45 °C) under 488 nm excitation. The results confirmed that the produced thermally stable NCDs could be used in biology and related medical fields that require hot environment imaging.
