Interaction Study between ESIPT Fluorescent Lipophile-Based Benzazoles and BSA. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26216728. [PMID: 34771137 PMCID: PMC8586955 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26216728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Revised: 10/30/2021] [Accepted: 11/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, the interactions of ESIPT fluorescent lipophile-based benzazoles with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied and their binding affinity was evaluated. In phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution these compounds produce absorption maxima in the UV region and a main fluorescence emission with a large Stokes shift in the blue–green regions due to a proton transfer process in the excited state. The interactions of the benzazoles with BSA were studied using UV-Vis absorption and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. The observed spectral quenching of BSA indicates that these compounds could bind to BSA through a strong binding affinity afforded by a static quenching mechanism (Kq~1012 L·mol−1·s−1). The docking simulations indicate that compounds 13 and 16 bind closely to Trp134 in domain I, adopting similar binding poses and interactions. On the other hand, compounds 12, 14, 15, and 17 were bound between domains I and III and did not directly interact with Trp134.

Abstract
The increasing heavy metal pollution in the aquatic ecosystem mainly driven by industrial activities has raised severe concerns over human and environmental health that apparently necessitate the design and development of ideal strategies for the effective monitoring of heavy metals. In this regard, colorimetric detection provides excellent opportunities for the easy monitoring of heavy metal ions, and especially, corresponding solid-state sensors enable potential opportunities for their applicability in real-world monitoring. As a result of the significant interest originating from their simplicity, exceptional characteristics, and applicability, the electrospun nanofiber-based colorimetric detection of heavy metal ions has undergone radical developments in the recent decade. This review illustrates the range of various approaches and functional molecules employed in the fabrication of electrospun nanofibers intended for the colorimetric detection of various metal ions in water. We highlight relevant investigations on the fabrication of functionalized electrospun nanofibers encompassing different approaches and functional molecules along with their sensing performance. Furthermore, we discuss upcoming prospectus and future opportunities in the exploration of designing electrospun nanofiber-based colorimetric sensors for real-world applications.

Abstract
Conjugated copolymers (CCPs) are a class of polymers with excellent optical luminescent and electrical conducting properties because of their extensive π conjugation. CCPs have several advantages such as facile synthesis, structural tailorability, processability, and ease of device fabrication by compatible solvents. Electrospinning (ES) is a versatile technique that produces continuous high throughput nanofibers or microfibers and its appropriate synchronization with CCPs can aid in harvesting an ideal sensory nanofiber. The ES-based nanofibrous membrane enables sensors to accomplish ultrahigh sensitivity and response time with the aid of a greater surface-to-volume ratio. This review covers the crucial aspects of designing highly responsive optical sensors that includes synthetic strategies, sensor fabrication, mechanistic aspects, sensing modes, and recent sensing trends in monitoring environmental toxicants, pH, temperature, and humidity. In particular, considerable attention is being paid on classifying the ES-based optical sensor fabrication to overcome remaining challenges such as sensitivity, selectivity, dye leaching, instability, and reversibility.

Abstract
Elegant integration of three-dimensional (3D) boron nitride (BN) into the porous structure of a polymer nanofiber (NF) membrane system results in a surface with enhanced absorption capacity for removal. Various BN-based applications were designed and developed successfully, but BN-based absorption systems remain relatively unexplored. To develop a reusable absorption strategy with high removal efficiency, we used a composite of 3D BN and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) to prepare a NF membrane with a porous structure by using electrospinning and spray techniques (BN-PAN ES NFs). The removal efficiency of the 3D BN NF membrane was higher than that of a pure carbon NF membrane. Water pollutants, such as the dyes Congo red (CR), basic yellow 1 (BY), and rhodamine B (Rh B), were tested, and the absorption ratios were 46%, 53%, and 45%, respectively. Furthermore, the aforementioned dyes and pollutants can be completely eliminated and removed from water by heating because of the high heat resistance of 3D BN. The membrane can be recycled and reused at least 10 times. These results indicate that BN-PAN ES NFs have can be used in water purification and treatment for absorption applications, and that they can be reused after heat treatment.

Abstract
Novel transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) with copper (Cu)/silver (Ag) core/shell nanofibers (NFs) containing random, aligned, and crossed structures were prepared using a combination of electrospinning (ES) and chemical reduction. The ES process was used to prepare continuous copper nanofibers (Cu-NFs), which were used as core materials and were then immersed in silver ink (Ag ink) to form a protective layer of Ag to protect the Cu-NFs from oxidation. The Ag shell layer protected the Cu-NFs against oxidation and enhanced their conductivity. Such Cu/Ag core/shell webs can be easily transferred on the flexible matrix and can be applied in TCEs. The metal NF webs of different structures exhibited various degrees of conductivity and followed the order random type > crossed type > aligned type; however, the order with respect to transmittance ( T) was inverse. The aligned nanowire networks exhibited a high T of over 80%, and the random ones exhibited a low sheet resistance of less than 102 Ω/sq (the best value is 7.85 Ω/sq). The present study demonstrated that TCEs based on Cu/Ag core/shell NF webs have considerable flexibility, transparency, and conductivity and can be applied in novel flexible light-emitting diode devices and solar cells in the future.

Abstract
Novel multifunctional fluorescent chemosensors composed of electrospun (ES) nanofibers with high sensitivity toward pH, mercury ions (Hg2+), and temperature were prepared from poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide-co-N-methylolacrylamide-co-rhodamine derivative) (poly(NIPAAm-co-NMA-co-RhBN2AM)) by employing an electrospinning process. NIPAAm and NMA moieties provide hydrophilic and thermo-responsive properties (absorption of Hg2+ in aqueous solutions), and chemical cross-linking sites (stabilization of the fibrous structure in aqueous solutions), respectively. The fluorescent probe, RhBN2AM is highly sensitive toward pH and Hg2+. The synthesis of poly(NIPAAm-co-NMA-co-RhBN2AM) with different compositions was carried on via free-radical polymerization. ES nanofibers prepared from sensory copolymers with a 71.1:28.4:0.5 NIPAAm:NMA:RhBN2AM ratio (P3 ES nanofibers) exhibited significant color change from non-fluorescent to red fluorescence while sensing pH (the λPL, max exhibited a 4.8-fold enhancement) or Hg2+ (at a constant Hg2+ concentration (10-3 M), the λPL, max of P3-fibers exhibited 4.7-fold enhancement), and high reversibility of on/off switchable fluorescence emission at least five times when Hg2+ and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were sequentially added. The P3 ES nanofibrous membranes had a higher surface-to-volume ratio to enhance their performance than did the corresponding thin films. In addition, the fluorescence emission of P3 ES nanofibrous membranes exhibited second enhancement above the lower critical solution temperature. Thus, the ES nanofibrous membranes prepared from P3 with on/off switchable capacity and thermo-responsive characteristics can be used as a multifunctional sensory device for specific heavy transition metal (HTM) in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Novel red-green-blue (RGB) switchable probes based on fluorescent porous electrospun (ES) nanofibers exhibiting high sensitivity to pH and mercury ions (Hg2+) were prepared with one type of copolymer (poly(methyl methacrylatete-co-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives-co-rhodamine derivative); poly(MMA-co-BNPTU-co-RhBAM)) by using a single-capillary spinneret. The MMA, BNPTU, and RhBAM moieties were designed to (i) permit formation of porous fibers, (ii) fluoresce for Hg2+ detection, and (iii) fluoresce for pH, respectively. The fluorescence emission of BNPTU (fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) donor) changed from green to blue as it detected Hg2+. The fluorescence emission of RhBAM (FRET acceptor) was highly selective for pH, changing from nonfluorescent (pH 7) to exhibiting strong red fluorescence (pH 2). The full-color emission of the ES nanofibers included green, red, blue, purple, and white depending on the particular pH and Hg2+-concentration combination of the solution. The porous ES nanofibers with 30 nm pores were fabricated using hydrophobic MMA, low-boiling-point solvent, and at a high relative humidity (80%). These porous ES nanofibers had a higher surface-to-volume ratio than did the corresponding thin films, which enhanced their performance. The present study demonstrated that the FRET-based full-color-fluorescence porous nanofibrous membranes, which exhibit on-off switching and can be used as naked eye probes, have potential for application in water purification sensing filters.

Abstract
Novel multifunctional switchable chemosensors based on fluorescent electrospun (ES) nanofibers with sensitivity toward magnetism, temperature, and mercury ions (Hg2+) were prepared using blends of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-(N-methylolacrylamide)-co-(Acrylic acid), the fluorescent probe 1-benzoyl-3-[2-(2-allyl-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1Hbenzo[de]isoquinolin-6-ylamino)-ethyl]-thiourea (BNPTU), and magnetite nanoparticles (NPs), and a single-capillary spinneret. The moieties of N-isopropylacrylamide, N-methylolacrylamide, acrylic acid, BNPTU, and Iron oxide (Fe3O4) NPs were designed to provide thermoresponsiveness, chemical cross-linking, Fe3O4 NPs dispersion, Hg2+ sensing, and magnetism, respectively. The prepared nanofibers exhibited ultrasensitivity to Hg2+ (as low as 10−3 M) because of an 80-nm blueshift of the emission maximum (from green to blue) and 1.6-fold enhancement of the emission intensity, as well as substantial volume (or hydrophilic to hydrophobic) changes between 30 and 60 °C, attributed to the low critical solution temperature of the thermoresponsive N-isopropylacrylamide moiety. Such temperature-dependent variations in the presence of Hg2+ engendered distinct on–off switching of photoluminescence. The magnetic ES nanofibers can be collected using a magnet rather than being extracted through alternative methods. The results indicate that the prepared multifunctional fluorescent ES nanofibrous membranes can be used as naked eye sensors and have the potential for application in multifunctional environmental sensing devices for detecting metal ions, temperature, and magnetism as well as for water purification sensing filters.

Abstract
It is critical to detect and analyze the heavy metal pollutions in environments and foods. Chemosensors have been widely investigated for fast detection of analytes such as heavy metals due to their unique advantages. In order to improve the detection sensitivity of chemosensors, recently electrospun nanofibrous membranes (ENMs) have been explored for the immobilization of chemosensors or receptors due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, high porosity, easiness of fabrication and functionalization, controllability of nanofiber properties, low cost, easy detection, no obvious pollution to the detection solution, and easy post-treatment after the detection process. The purpose of this review is to summarize and guide the development and application of ENMs in the field of chemosensors for the detection of analytes, especially heavy metals. First, heavy metals, chemosensors, and four types of preparation methods for ENM-immobilized chemosensors/receptors are briefly introduced. And then, ENM-immobilized chemosensors/receptors and their application progresses for optical, electro, and mass detections of heavy metals are reviewed according to the four types of preparation methods. Finally, the application of ENM-immobilized chemosensors/receptors is summarized and an outlook is provided. The review will provide an instruction to the research and development of ENM-immobilized chemosensors/receptors for the detection of analytes.

Abstract
Six conjugates of benzoxazole and green fluorescent protein chromophore that differ by the length of their alkyl chain (from C1 to C16) are investigated. They exhibit rigidofluorochromism and clear aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) behavior with emission in the orange-red that is specific to the solid state. A preparation method based on solvent exchange is used to prepare particles. The self-association properties of these molecules depend on the length of the alkyl chain. Microfibers, platelets, and rounded microparticles are successively obtained by increasing the chain length. The same method is used to prepare nanoparticles (NPs) that are fully characterized. In particular, homogeneous populations of stable NPs measuring around 70 nm are obtained with the analogs whose chains contain four to eight carbon atoms. The behavior with respect to living cells is also influenced by the nature of the compounds. Only the dyes with intermediate hydrophobicity are efficiently uptaken by both normal and tumor cells, and fluorescence only originates from dispersed dye molecules. There is no evidence for incorporation of NPs into cells. This work shows that small variations of the chemical structure must be taken into account for making the best use of AIEE compounds in view of precise applications.

Abstract
Novel dual-ratiometric fluorescent electrospun (ES) nanofibers featuring high sensitivity for pH and ferric ion (Fe(3+)) were prepared using binary blends of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-N-methylolacrylamide-co-nitrobenzoxadiazolyl derivative) (poly(HEMA-co-NMA-co-NBD)) and a spirolactam rhodamine derivative (SRhBOH) by employing a single-capillary spinneret. The HEMA, NMA, and NBD moieties were designed to exhibit hydrophilic properties, chemical cross-linking, and fluorescence (fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) donor), respectively. The fluorescence emission of SRhBOH was highly selective for pH and Fe(3+); when SRhBOH detected acidic media and Fe(3+), the spirocyclic form of SRhBOH, which is nonfluorescent, was transformed into the opened cyclic form and exhibited strong fluorescence emission. The emission colors of ES nanofibers in acidic or Fe(3+) aqueous solutions changed from green to red because of FRET from NBD (donor) to SRhBOH (acceptor). The off/on switching of the FRET process was modulated by adjusting the SRhBOH blending ratio, pH, and Fe(3+) concentration. Poly(HEMA-co-NMA-co-NBD) ES fibers blended with 20% SRhBOH showed high sensitivity in sensing Fe(3+) and pH because of the substantial 57 nm red shift in emission as well as substantial reversible dual photoluminescence. The prepared FRET-based dual-ratiometric fluorescent ES nanofibrous membranes can be used as "naked eye" sensors and have potential for application in multifunctional environment sensing devices.
