Poimenova IA, Sozarukova MM, Ratova DMV, Nikitina VN, Khabibullin VR, Mikheev IV, Proskurnina EV, Proskurnin MA. Analytical Methods for Assessing Thiol Antioxidants in Biological Fluids: A Review. Molecules 2024; 29:4433. [PMID: 39339429 PMCID: PMC11433793 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29184433] [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: 08/27/2024] [Revised: 09/13/2024] [Accepted: 09/15/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Redox metabolism is an integral part of the glutathione system, encompassing reduced and oxidized glutathione, hydrogen peroxide, and associated enzymes. This core process orchestrates a network of thiol antioxidants like thioredoxins and peroxiredoxins, alongside critical thiol-containing proteins such as mercaptoalbumin. Modifications to thiol-containing proteins, including oxidation and glutathionylation, regulate cellular signaling influencing gene activities in inflammation and carcinogenesis. Analyzing thiol antioxidants, especially glutathione, in biological fluids offers insights into pathological conditions. This review discusses the analytical methods for biothiol determination, mainly in blood plasma. The study includes all key methodological aspects of spectroscopy, chromatography, electrochemistry, and mass spectrometry, highlighting their principles, benefits, limitations, and recent advancements that were not included in previously published reviews. Sample preparation and factors affecting thiol antioxidant measurements are discussed. The review reveals that the choice of analytical procedures should be based on the specific requirements of the research. Spectrophotometric methods are simple and cost-effective but may need more specificity. Chromatographic techniques have excellent separation capabilities but require longer analysis times. Electrochemical methods enable real-time monitoring but have disadvantages such as interference. Mass spectrometry-based approaches have high sensitivity and selectivity but require sophisticated instrumentation. Combining multiple techniques can provide comprehensive information on thiol antioxidant levels in biological fluids, enabling clearer insights into their roles in health and disease. This review covers the time span from 2010 to mid-2024, and the data were obtained from the SciFinder® (ACS), Google Scholar (Google), PubMed®, and ScienceDirect (Scopus) databases through a combination search approach using keywords.

Abstract
An oxidase (OXD) -like AuAg@AuNPs nanozyme was prepared by Au seeds growth using dopamine carbon dots as reducing and capping agents. The AuAg@AuNPs show excellent OXD-like and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) activities and can oxidize the non-Raman-active leucomalachite green (LMG) into the Raman-active malachite green (MG). The research displays that D-penicillamine (D-PA) can effectively inhibit the OXD-like activity of Au@AgNPs and enhance the SERS signals as substrate. It is attributed to the formation of S-Au bond due to thiol (-SH) in D-PA. Therefore, a highly sensitive and specific SERS dual-readout sensing platform was proposed to assay D-PA with a limit of detection of 0.1 μg/mL (direct SERS mode) and 6.64 μg/L (indirect SERS mode). This approach was successfully used to determine D-PA in actual pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
Enantiomers show different behaviors in interaction with the chiral environment. Due to their identical chemical structure and their wide application in various industries, such as agriculture, medicine, pesticide, food, and so forth, their separation is of great importance. Today, the term "nano" is frequently encountered in all fields. Technology and measuring devices are moving towards miniaturization, and the usage of nanomaterials in all sectors is expanding substantially. Given that scientists have recently attempted to apply miniaturized techniques known as nano-liquid chromatography/capillary-liquid chromatography, which were originally accomplished in 1988, as well as the widespread usage of nanomaterials for chiral resolution (back in 1989), this comprehensive study was developed. Searching the terms "nano" and "enantiomer separation" on scientific websites such as Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science yields articles that either use miniaturized instruments or apply nanomaterials as chiral selectors with a variety of chemical and electrochemical detection techniques, which are discussed in this article.

Abstract
A tryptophan (Trp) sensor was investigated based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of a molecularly imprinted polymer on a lysozyme amyloid fibril (MIP-AF). The MIP-AF was composed of aniline as a monomer chemically polymerized in the presence of a Trp template molecule onto the AF surface. After extracting the template molecule, the MIP-AF had cavities with a high affinity for the Trp molecules. The obtained MIP-AF demonstrated rapid Trp adsorption and substantial binding capacity (50 µM mg−1). Trp determination was studied using non-Faradaic EIS by drop drying the MIP-AF on the working electrode of a screen-printed electrode. The MIP-AF provided a large linear range (10 pM–80 µM), a low detection limit (8 pM), and high selectivity for Trp determination. Furthermore, the proposed method also indicates that the MIP-AF can be used to determine Trp in real samples such as milk and cancer cell media.

Abstract
Activated 2-furfural gives intense color formation when reacted with amines, due to a ring opening reaction cascade that furnishes a conjugated molecular system. Unique colorimetric characteristic of this reaction makes it an interesting candidate for developing chemosensors operating in visible range. Among many activated 2-furfural derivatives, Meldrum’s acid furfural conjugate (MAFC) recently gained significant interest as colorimetric chemosensor. MAFC has been explored as selective chemosensor for detecting amines in solution, secondary amines on polymer surfaces and even nitrogen rich amino acids (AA) in aqueous solution. In this work, the pH dependency of MAFC-AA reaction is explored. It was found that proline gives an exceptionally fast colored reaction at pH 11, whereas at other pHs, no naked eye color product formation was observed. The reaction sequence including ring opening reaction upon nucleophilic addition of cyclic amine of proline resulting in a conjugated triene was confirmed by NMR titrations. The highly pH dependent reaction can e.g., potentially be used to detect proline presence in biological samples. An even more intense color formation takes place in the reaction of natural proline derivative 4-hydroxyproline. The detection limit of proline and 4-hydroxyproline with MAFC solution was found to be 11 µM and 6 µM respectively.

Abstract
The determination of chiral compounds is critically important in chemical and pharmaceutical sciences. Cysteine amino acid is one of the important chiral compounds where each enantiomer (L and D) has different effects on fundamental physiological processes. The unique optical properties of nanoparticles make them a suitable probe for the determination of different analytes. In this work, the water-soluble thioglycolic acid (TGA)-capped cadmium-telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) were applied as optical nanoprobe for the simultaneous determination of cysteine enantiomers. The difference in the kinetics of the interactions between L- and D-cysteine with CdTe QDs is used for multivariate quantitative analysis. Multivariate methods are superior to univariate methods in determining the concentration of each enantiomer in the mixture without the information about the total chiral analyte concentration. As a nonlinear calibration method the radial basis function -artificial neural network (RBF-ANN) model was more successful in predicting L-and D-cysteine concentrations than the linear partial least squares regression (PLS) model.

Abstract
We evaluated in vitro a series of telluride containing compounds bearing the benzenesulfonamide group, as effective inhibitors of the physiologically relevant human (h) expressed Carbonic Anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1) enzymes I, II, IV VII and IX. The potent effects of such compounds against the tumor-associated hCA IX being low nanomolar inhibitors (KI 2.2 to 2.9 nM) and with good selectivity over the ubiquitous hCA II, gave the possibility to evaluate their lethal effect in vitro against a breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231). Among the series, both compounds 3a and 3g induced significant toxic effects against tumor cells after 48 h incubation. Under normoxic condition 3a showed high efficacy killing over 94% of tumor cells at 1 µM, and derivative 3g reached the tumor cell viability under the 5% at 10 µM. In hypoxic condition, these two compounds showed less effective although retained excellent cancer cell killer. These unusual features make them interesting lead compounds acting as antitumor agents also in tumor types not dependent from hCA IX overexpression.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are known as substantial indicators of the quality and safety of food. Developing rapid and visual detection methods capable of simultaneously monitoring BAs is highly desired due to their harmful effects on human health. In the present study, we have designed a multicolor sensor array consisting of two types of gold nanostructures (i.e., gold nanorods (AuNRs) and gold nanospheres (AuNSs)) for the discrimination and determination of critical BAs (i.e., spermine (SM), tryptamine (TT), ethylenediamine (EA), tyramine (TR), spermidine (SD), and histamine (HT)). The design principle of the probe was based on the metallization of silver ions on the surface of AuNRs and AuNSs in the presence of BAs, forming Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles. Changes in the surface composition, size, and aspect ratio of AuNSs and AuNRs induced a blue shift in the plasmonic band, which was accompanied by sharp and rainbowlike color variations in the solution. The collected data were visually assessed and statistically analyzed by various data visualization and pattern recognition methods. Namely, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and partial least squares (PLS) regression were employed for the qualitative and quantitative determination of BAs. The responses were linearly correlated to the concentrations of BAs in a wide range of 10-800, 20-800, 40-800, 40-800, 60-800, and 80-800 μmol L-1 with the limit of detections of 2.46, 4.79, 8.58, 14.26, 10.03, and 27.29 μmol L-1 for SD, SM, TT, HT, EA, and TR, respectively. Finally, the practical applicability of the sensor array was investigated by the determination of BAs in meat and fish samples by which the potential of the probe for on-site determination of food freshness/spoilage was successfully verified.

Abstract
In this work, a colorimetric sensor array has been designed for the identification and discrimination of thiometon (TM) and phosalone (PS) as organophosphate pesticides and prothioconazole (PC) as a triazole pesticide. For this purpose, two different plasmonic nanoparticles including unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and unmodified silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were used as sensing elements. The principle of the proposed strategy relied on the aggregation AuNPs and AgNPs through the cross-reactive interaction between the target pesticides and plasmonic nanoparticles. Therefore, these aggregation-induced UV-Vis spectra changes were utilized to discriminate the target pesticides with the help of linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Besides, we have employed the bar plots and the heat maps as visual non-statistical methods to differentiate the pesticides in a wide range of concentrations (i.e., 20-5000 ng mL-1). Multivariate calibration plots from partial least squares (PLS)- regression indicated that the responses linearly depend on the pesticide concentrations in the range of 100-1000 ng mL-1 with the limit of detections (LOD) of 66.8, 68.3, and 41.4 ng mL-1, for TM, PS, and PC, respectively. Finally, the potential applicability of the proposed sensor array has been evaluated for the detection and identification of the pesticides in the mixtures, water samples, and cucumber fruit.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL) analysis is a trace analytical method that possesses advantages including high sensitivity, wide linear range, easy operation, and simple instruments. With the development of nanotechnology, many nanomaterial (NM)-enhanced CL systems have been established in recent years and applied for the CL detection of metal ions, anions, small molecules, tumor markers, sequence-specific DNA, and RNA. This review summarizes the research progress of the nanomaterial-enhanced CL systems the past five years. These CL reactions include luminol, peroxyoxalate, lucigenin, ultraweak CL reactions, and so on. The CL mechanisms of the nanomaterial-enhanced CL systems are discussed in the first section. Nanomaterials take part in the CL reactions as the catalyst, CL emitter, energy acceptor, and reductant. Their applications are summarized in the second section. Finally, the challenges and opportunities are discussed.

Abstract
Rapid chiral analysis has become one of the important aspects of academic and industrial research. Here we describe a new strategy based on liquid-phase cyclic chemiluminescence (CCL) for rapid resolution of enantiomers and determination of enantiomeric excess (ee). A single CCL measurement can acquire multistage signals that provide a unique way to examine the intermolecular interactions between chiral hosts and chiral guests, because the lifetime (τ) of the multistage signals is a concentration-independent and distinguishable constant for a given chiral host-guest system. According to the τ values, CCL allows discrimination between a wide range of enantiomeric pairs including chiral alcohols, amines and acids by using only one chiral host. Even the chiral systems hardly distinguished by nuclear magnetic resonance and fluorescence methods can be distinguished easily by CCL. Additionally, the τ value of a mixture of two enantiomers is equal to the weighted average of each enantiomer, which can be used for the direct determination of ee without the need to separate the chiral mixture and create calibration curves. This is extremely crucial for the cases without readily available enantiomerically pure samples. This strategy was successfully applied to monitoring of the Walden inversion reaction and analysis of chiral drugs. The results were in good agreement with those obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography, indicating the utility of CCL for routine quick ee analysis. Mechanism study revealed that the τ value is possibly related to the activity of the chiral substance to catalyze a luminol-H2O2 reaction. Our research provides an unprecedented and general protocol for chirality differentiation and ee determination, which is anticipated to be a useful technology that will find wide application in chirality-related fields, particularly in asymmetric synthesis and the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Determining the structural chirality of biomolecules is of vital importance in bioscience and biomedicine. Conventional methods for characterizing molecular chirality, e.g., circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, require high-concentration specimens due to the weak electronic CD signals of biomolecules such as amino acids. Artificially designed chiral plasmonic metastructures exhibit strong intrinsic chirality. However, the significant size mismatch between metastructures and biomolecules makes the former unsuitable for chirality-recognition-based molecular discrimination. Fortunately, constructing metallic architectures through molecular self-assembly allows chirality transfer from sub-nanometer biomolecules to sub-micrometer, intrinsically achiral plasmonic metastructures by means of either near-field interaction or chirality inheritance, resulting in hybrid systems with CD signals orders of magnitude larger than that of pristine biomolecules. This exotic property provides a new means to determine molecular chirality at extremely low concentrations (ideally at the single-molecule level). Herein, three strategies of chirality transfer from sub-nanometer biomolecules to sub-micrometer metallic metastructures are analyzed. The physiochemical mechanisms responsible for chirality transfer are elaborated and new fascinating opportunities for employing plasmonic metastructures in chirality-based biosensing and bioimaging are outlined.

Abstract
Chirality is a fundamental property of a molecule, and the significant progress in chirality detection and quantification of a molecule has inspired major advances in various fields ranging from chemistry, biology, to biotechnology and pharmacology. Chiral molecules have identical molecular formulas, atom-to-atom linkages, and bonding distances, and as such they are difficult to distinguish both sensitively and selectively. Today, most new drugs and those under development are chiral, which requires technological developments in the separation and detection of chiral molecules. Therefore, rapid and facile methods to detect and discriminate chiral compounds are necessary to accelerate advances in many research fields. The challenges in analysis stem from the obvious fact that chiral molecules have the same physical properties. Although significant progress on the detection of enantiomeric composition has been achieved in the past decade, in order to fully realize the capacity of chiral molecular interrogation, highly sensitive and selective, portable, and easy-to-use detection remains challenging because of the limitation of conventional techniques.Soft nanoarchitectonics is a new concept for the fabrication of functional soft material systems through harmonization of various actions including atomic/molecular-level manipulation, chemical reactions, self-assembly and self-organization, and their modulation by external fields/stimuli. Soft nanoarchitectonics has been widely used as a key enabling technology for integrating predefined molecular functionalities including electrochemical, optical, catalytic, or biological properties into biosensing devices, which provides exciting opportunities to design, assemble, and fabricate tailored nanosystems to enable new sensing strategies for chiral molecules.In this Account, we aim to concisely discuss how these molecule-inspired soft nanoarchitectonics work for enantioselective sensing. We will first outline the basic principle and mechanistic insights of the soft nanoarchitectonics approach for enantioselective sensing, and then we will describe the new breakthroughs and trends in the area that have been most recently reported by our groups and others. There will also be a discussion on the merits of soft nanoarchitectonics based sensing in comparison to conventional analytical methods. Finally, with this Account, we hope to spark new chiral molecule sensing strategies by fundamentally understanding chiral recognition and engineering soft nanoarchitectonics with programmable structures and predictable sensing properties.

Abstract
Taking consideration of metal-induced fluorescence quenching and excellent coordination effect of D-penicillamine (D-PA), a graphene quantum dots (GQDs)-based fluorescent switch for D-PA detection was designed and established firstly with the help of lead ions. GQDs obtained from citric acids made them rich in carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, giving GQDs the ability to combine with lead ions. As anticipated, the fluorescence intensity was quenched by Pb2+ through electron transfer process. Further, the addition of D-PA effectively recovered the fluorescence due to the departure of Pb2+ from GQDs aroused by the strong coordination between D-PA and Pb2+. Thus, a fluorescent switch was activated for D-PA detection. The fluorescence recovery efficiencies were found to be proportional to the concentration of D-PA in the range of 0.6-50 μmol L-1 and the detection limit was 0.47 μmol L-1. The real sample detection was performed in human urea sample and satisfactory recoveries of 96.84%-102.13% were obtained. The GQDs-Pb2+ based fluorescent switch sensing method was firstly established with low detection limit and wide linear range, making it a supplement and improvement for D-PA detection.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-enabled chemiluminescence (CL) detection has become a growing area of interest in recent years. We review the development of nanomaterial-based CL detection strategies and their applications in bioanalysis. Much progress has been achieved in the past decade, but most attempts still remain in the proof-of-concept stage. This review highlights recent advances in nanomaterials in CL detection and organizes them into three groups based on their role in detection: as a sensing platform, as a signal probe, and applications in homogeneous systems. Furthermore, we have discussed the critical challenges we are facing and future prospects of this field.

Abstract
Compared with traditional organic contrast agents, semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have unique optical properties that are vital for biological applications with ultrahigh sensitivities, such as long fluorescence lifetime and large multiphoton absorption (MPA). However, the MPA properties and biological applications of chiral-ligand-stabilized semiconductor NCs have scarcely been reported, which seriously hinders their relevant applications. In this work, we report the aqueous phase transfer of CdSe/CdS dot/rod NCs with the use of cysteine molecules, after which the NCs preserve their high fluorescence quantum yield, long lifetime, and efficient circular dichroism. More importantly, the investigated dot/rod NCs show extremely large two- and three-photon absorption action cross-sections in the first and second biological windows, with maximum values of ∼21 000 GM at 800 nm and ∼4.6 × 10-78 cm6 s2 per photon2 at 1300 nm, which are among the largest values reported for water-soluble fluorescent nanoparticles. Interestingly, the dot/rod NCs exhibit a high singlet oxygen generation efficiency of 35%. In addition, for the first time, two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging and photodynamic therapy of the dot/rod NCs were successfully demonstrated. The performed investigation of the optical properties of these water-soluble CdSe/CdS dot/rod NCs indicates that they are promising candidates for nonlinear biological imaging applications.

Abstract
Chiral molecules are stereoselective with regard to specific biological functions. Enantiomers differ considerably in their physiological reactions with the human body. Safeguarding the quality and safety of drugs requires an efficient analytical platform by which to selectively probe chiral compounds to ensure the extraction of single enantiomers. Asymmetric synthesis is a mature approach to the production of single enantiomers; however, it is poorly suited to mass production and allows for only specific enantioselective reactions. Furthermore, it is too expensive and time-consuming for the evaluation of therapeutic drugs in the early stages of development. These limitations have prompted the development of surface-modified nanoparticles using amino acids, chiral organic ligands, or functional groups as chiral selectors applicable to a racemic mixture of chiral molecules. The fact that these combinations can be optimized in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and enantioselectivity makes them ideal for enantiomeric recognition and separation. In chiral resolution, molecules bond selectively to particle surfaces according to homochiral interactions, whereupon an enantiopure compound is extracted from the solution through a simple filtration process. In this review article, we discuss the fabrication of chiral nanoparticles and look at the ways their distinctive surface properties have been adopted in enantiomeric recognition and separation.
