Abstract
Even though heavy and transition metals originated in the earth's crust, the significant human exposure and environmental pollution consequences of anthropogenic activities include industrial production and waste, mining and smelting operations, and agricultural and domestic usage of metals. Because of their nonbiodegradable nature, heavy metal ions such as Cu2+ accumulate very quickly in plants and edible animals, ultimately ending up in the human food cycle. Therefore, to nullify the detrimental effects of Cu2+ ions for the sake of the environment and living organisms, we are motivated to design a sensor molecule that can not only detect Cu2+ ions but also remove them selectively from the water medium. To detect the Cu2+ ions, we synthesized a monomer (NCu) and its biodegradable caprolactone-based polymer (PNCu). It was observed that both NCu and PNCu showed higher selectivity toward Cu2+ ions by changing the color from colorless to yellow, with a limit of detection value of 29 nM and 0.3 μM. Furthermore, removing the Cu2+ ions from the water solution was also accomplished by introducing the hydrophobicity of the polymer (PNCu) through the ring-opening polymerization process. Due to increased hydrophobicity, the polymer produced a yellow color precipitate upon adding Cu2+ ions to the solution; thus, removal of the metal ion is possible using our designed polymer and its detection ability. We checked the removal efficiency of our polymer by using UV-vis spectroscopy and EDX analysis, which indicated that almost all of the copper is removed by our polymer. Therefore, to our knowledge, this is the first biodegradable caprolactone-based polymer for colorimetric turn-on detection and separation of the Cu2+ ions from the water.

Abstract
We present a novel group of tryptophan (Trp)-based fluorescent polymeric probes synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of Trp-derived norbornene monomers. These probes, in mono- and disubstituted forms, incorporate amide and ester anchoring groups. The quantity of Trp substituents did not affect fluorescence selectivity but influenced quenching percentage. Poly-diamide-Trp, Poly-monoamide-Trp, Poly-diester-Trp, and Poly-monoester-Trp probes displayed selective detection of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions with fluorescence on-off characteristics. Poly-diamide-Trp and Poly-monoamide-Trp exhibited a limit of detection (LOD) for Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions of 0.86-11.32 μM, while Poly-diester-Trp and Poly-monoester-Trp showed higher LODs (21.8-108.7 μM). These probes exhibited high selectivity over Fe2+, a crucial metal ion in the body known for its redox properties causing oxidative stress and cell damage. Cell cytotoxicity tests in various cell types confirmed biocompatibility. Additionally, Poly-diamide-Trp displayed excellent cell permeability and iron ion detection in EA.hy926 cells, suggesting potential for bioimaging and clinical applications.

Abstract
Utilizing the mercury (Hg2+)-triggered deprotection of thioacetals to aldehyde groups, we constructed a water-soluble triphenylamine (TPA)-based polythioacetal PTA-TPA with thioacetal groups in the backbones for efficient sensing of Hg2+ in aqueous solutions. PTA-TPA is conveniently prepared by polycondensation of 3, 6-dioxa-1,8-octanedithiol (DODT) with 4-(N,N-diphenylamino) benzaldehyde (TPA-CHO) using thiol-terminated mPEG2k-SH as a capping agent. The interaction of Hg2+ with PTA-TPA activates the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) process of TPA-CHO molecules, which makes the emission enhanced, and the emission color changes to sky blue, while other metal ions do not interfere with the sensing process. PTA-TPA can be used as a highly selective and ultrafast detection system for Hg2+ with a low detection limit (LOD) of 9.88 nM and a fast response of less than 1 min. In addition, the prepared test strips report the presence of Hg2+ with an LOD as low as 1 × 10-5 M. Intracellular imaging applications have demonstrated that PTA-TPA acts as a biocompatible fluorescent probe for efficient Hg2+ sensing in HeLa cells. Overall, the PTA-TPA fluorescence probes have the characteristics of easy synthesis, cost-effective, ultrafast detection speed, high selectivity, and high sensitivity, which can be used in practical applications.

Abstract
The drug delivery system for transporting anticancer agents to targeted tissues in the body is a challenging issue. In search of a suitable biocompatible carrier having controlled and sustained drug release properties of poorly soluble drugs, carbon nano-onions (CNOs) were loaded with an anticancer drug, bis-chloroethyl nitrosourea (BCNU/carmustine). CNOs being autofluorescent, drug-loaded functionalized CNOs (f-CNO-BCNU) can be detected in vivo. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and differential light scattering (DLS) techniques were used to analyze the sizes of these f-CNOs. The molecular study revealed that the f-CNO-BCNU readily and noncovalently binds with the folate receptors present on the cancer cell surface in excess. Computer modeling and molecular dynamics simulation followed by binding free energy calculation shows f-CNOs have -29.9 kcal/mol binding free energy, and it noncovalently binds the receptor FRα using loop dynamics of three essential loops present in the protein along with polar stabilization interactions provided by Asp55 and Glu86 residues present in the active site. The f-CNO effectively decreased cancer cell viability with a low IC50 value (the concentration that led to 50% killing of the cells). The cell-based Franz diffusion assay was performed to study the drug release profile. The f-CNO-BCNUs also decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential of U87 cells, increased reactive oxygen species release, and caused a loss of mitochondrial membrane integrity. The f-CNOs also increased the percentage of apoptotic cells observed by the Annexin V assay. Based on observed results, it can be concluded that the f-CNO-BCNU efficiently targets the cancer cells, enhances the bioavailability of carmustine, and can be used as a smart chemotherapeutic agent. This strategy offers better patient compliance and greater bioavailability of the drug.

Abstract
In this work, the preparation of a pH-responsive fluorescent microgel, (NANO-PAMAM-CHT), is presented for the selective detection of Cu2+ and Cr2O72- ions. The NANO-PAMAM-CHT (nanosized polyaminoamide-chitosan microgel) is synthesized via aza-Michael addition reactions in a controlled and stepwise manner in water, using easily affordable starting materials like 1,4-diaminobutane, N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide, NIPAM and chitosan. NANO-PAMAM-CHT shows pH-responsive fluorescent properties, whereas the fluorescence intensity shows a pH-responsive change. Due to the selective fluorescence quenching, the microgel can detect both Cu2+ ions and Cr2O72- ions selectively at ambient pH in aqueous medium. Moreover, it can selectively differentiate between Cu2+ ion and Cr2O72- ions at pH ∼3 in water. The limits of detection for Cu2+ ions and Cr2O72- ions are reported as 16.9 μM and 2.62 μM, respectively (lower than the minimum allowed level in drinking water) at pH ∼7. Mechanistic study further reveals the dynamic quenching phenomenon in the presence of Cu2+ ions and static quenching in the presence of Cr2O72- ions.

Abstract
Copper and Mercury ions have vital role to play in biological world as their excess or deficiency can cause different type of diseases in human being as well as biological species including plants and animals. Therefore, their detection at trace level becomes very important in term of biological. The current studies embody the fabrication, structural characterization and recognition behavior of a novel rhodamine B hydrazone formed when hydrazide of rhodamine B was condensed with 5-Allyl-3-methoxy salicylaldehyde (RBMA). RBMA was found to be responsive towards the very trace level of Cu2+ and Hg2+ among other tested cations so far. The sensing procedure is based on the classical opening of the spiroatom ring of rhodamine. The limit of detection (LOD) and binding constant is 5.35 ppm, 2.06 × 104 M-1 and 5.16 ppm, 1.26 × 104 M-1 for Cu2+ and Hg2+ ions respectively. The probable mechanism correlates the specific binding of RBMA with Cu2+ and Hg2+ ions. The 1:1 stoichiometry of RBMA with Cu2+ and Hg2+ ions have been supported by HRMS, FT-IR data, Job's plot, and binding constant data. Reversibility is well exhibited by RBMA by the involvement of CO32- ions via demetallation process. The real time application is well demonstrated by the use of paper strip test. The DFT study also carried out which agrees well with the experimental findings. The results displayed the novelty of this current work towards the trace level analysis of the Cu2+ and Hg2+ of the cations which are play the crucial role in industry.

Abstract
A "two-step" preparation method of an excited-state intermolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) fluorescent polymer (f-PP) is reported here. The synthesis of f-PP involves the acetylation of polystyrene and a "multicomponent one pot" reaction. The as-prepared polymer bears a group of ESIPT fluorescent units, enabling it to exhibit high brightness, moderate solubility and ESIPT fluorescence. F-PP gives off tautomeric bright green fluorescence under UV-tamp and the dual-emission could be specifically suppressed by Cr(vi). This phenomenon cannot be elicited by other competing species. On this basis, an ESIPT polymeric probe-based method for the determination of Cr(vi) was developed, offering high sensitivity (19.5 nM) and selectivity. The f-PP was successfully used to detect Cr(vi) in real water samples by standard adding methods, indicating its application feasibility.

Abstract
In this work, an AIE-active tetraphenylethene-based Schiff base fluorescent probe 3 with a large Stokes shift (247 nm) was designed and synthesized. It was found that the aggregated probe 3 exhibited very high selectivity and anti-interference ability for Cu2+ in PBS buffer (70% fw) through a fluorescence "turn-off" strategy. Job's plot and NMR analysis indicated the two phenolic hydroxyl groups of the benzene ring and the N atom (-CH=N-) on probe 3 interacted with Cu2+ ions in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. A comprehensive analysis of the Stern-Volmer and binding constant indicated a rather strong interaction between probe 3 and Cu2+ ions. Probe 3 illustrated excellent sensitivity toward Cu2+ under ppb level (4.5 nM) and achieved more than 95% recovery in river, lake and tap water toward estimation of Cu2+ ions in the analytical applications. Moreover, probe 3 was able to realize bioimaging of HepG2 cells and be quenched by intracellular Cu2+ ions, making it promising as a sensitive Cu2+ sensor for organisms.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is a well-known industrial material regularly used in fishery, vegetable markets, and fruit shops for maintaining their freshness. But due to its carcinogenic nature and other toxic effects, it is very important to detect it in very low concentrations. In recent years, amine-containing fluorescent probes have gained significant attention for designing formaldehyde sensors. However, the major drawbacks of these small molecular probes are low sensitivity and long exposure time, which limits their real-life applications. In this regard, polymeric probes have gained significant attention to overcome the aforementioned problems. Several polymeric probes have been utilized as a coating material, nanoparticle, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), etc., for the selective and sensitive detection of formaldehyde. The main objective of this review article is to comprehensively describe the recent advancements in formaldehyde sensors based on small molecules and polymers, and their successful applications in various fields, especially in situ formaldehyde sensing in biological systems.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 410:124625. [PMID: 33279321 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Revised: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The sensitive detection and quantitative separation of toxic heavy metal ions in aqueous media are of great importance. In this study, a thermogelling poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG-PCL) triblock copolymer (P1) was synthesized, and difluoroboron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) fluorophore integrated with thiosemicarbazide units was attached to the chain ends of P1 through consecutive post-polymerization modifications, leading to P4. P4 exhibited rapid and selective detection of Hg(II) in 100% aqueous media via turn-on fluorescence emission with a limit of detection (LOD) of as low as 0.461 μM. This turn-on emission behavior is attributed to the suppression of C˭N isomerization caused by the formation of a coordination complex between P4 and Hg(II) ions. The selective and quantitative removal of Hg(II) among various metal ions was achieved by trapping chelated Hg(II) ions inside the dehydrated P4 gel via thermo-controlled sol-gel-dehydrated gel transitions. Treating the Hg(II) ion-trapped dehydrated gels with sodium sulfide (Na2S) in acetone/water at room temperature led to HgS precipitates, and P4 in solution was dried and recycled. This recyclable thermoresponsive macromolecular probe is promising for not only Hg(II) detection but also its separation and removal from complex aqueous environments.

Abstract
A series of pH-responsive random copolymers comprised of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and tert-butyl carbamate (Boc)-protected phenylalanine methacryloyloxyethyl ester (Boc-Phe-EMA) were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization in N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF) at 70 °C. The synthesized copolymers were comprehensively characterized using a combination of techniques, including 1 H NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Reactivity of each monomers towards controlled radical polymerization was evaluated by determining the reactivity ratios by virtue of extended Kelen-Tüdös method at high conversions revealed the higher reactivity of non-modified HEMA (rHEMA =1.03) in contrast to Boc-Phe-EMA (rBoc-Phe-EMA =0.48). Furthermore, the expulsion of the Boc-groups resulted copolymers with ionizable pendant primary ammonium and hydroxyl groups. To understand the glass transition behaviours of homo- and co-polymers, differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) measurements were carried out. The effect of HEMA content on the pH-sensitivity of the copolymers in aqueous medium was investigated through turbidity measurements. Finally, the counteranion exchange from trifluoroacetate to chloride provided copolymers with enhanced water solubility and unaltered phase transition pH.

Abstract
A novel dual-functional chemosensor, derived from the conjugation of rhodamine B with a quinoline derivative (RHQ), was firstly synthesized with high efficiency and cost-effectiveness for the distinguishable detections of Cu2+ and Hg2+ via ring-opening and ring-forming mechanism. The chemosensor exhibits highly selective and distinguishable responses for Cu2+ and Hg2+ in CH3CN-H2O (4:1, v/v) with off-on fluorescence and ratiometric ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption changes. Additionally, Cu2+ is identified by opening a rhodamine spirocycle with a UV-Vis absorption band, at around 560 nm and fluorescence turn-on. Interestingly, Hg2+ is discerned by opening the rhodamine spirocycle and by generating a new special cycle for the quinoline unit. Resultantly, there were two UV-Vis absorption bands at around 365 nm and 560 nm, which were accompanied by fluorescence turn-on. Moreover, the chemosensor can quantitatively detect Cu2+ and Hg2+ by off-on fluorescence and ratiometric UV-Vis absorption changes, respectively. Furthermore, the chemosensor with low cytotoxicity could be successfully administered to monitor Cu2+ and Hg2+ in living cells. This work may pay the way for the development of dual-functional chemosensor for quantificationally detecting metal ions in environmental and biological systems.

Abstract
Protein misfolding and aggregation is the pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The etiopathogenesis of AD involves the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques in the brain, which disrupt the neuronal network and communication, causing neuronal death and severe cognitive impairment. Modulation of Aβ aggregation by exogenous therapeutic agents is considered an effective strategy to treat AD. Frequent failure of drug candidates in various phases of clinical trials reiterates the need for alternative therapeutic strategies for AD treatment. Polyampholytes with cationic and anionic segments are considered as artificial protein mimics capable of modulating the protein misfolding and aggregation. We report a diblock copolymer of tryptophan-functionalized methacrylic acid (PTMA) polyampholyte synthesized through reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Investigation revealed that PTMA acts as a synthetic chaperone to protect the native structure of the lysozyme under heat-induced aggregation conditions. PTMA effectively modulates Aβ aggregation and rescues neuronal cells. Lithium has been shown to exhibit therapeutic efficacy in chronic neurological diseases including AD. PTMA sequesters and releases lithium ions in response to neuropathological pH stimuli, making it a promising candidate for lithium transport and delivery. The detailed studies demonstrate PTMA as aggregation modulator and lithium carrier with implications for combinational therapy to treat AD.
