Abstract
Edible chrysanthemum is widely cultivated and used as an important ingredient of medicine, tea and multifunctional food. During the planting of chrysanthemum, pesticides are extensively used for preventing plant diseases and insect pests. To ensure the food safety of edible chrysanthemum, rapid detection methods are urgently needed for on-site inspection. In this study, a graphene oxide/Au nanoparticle (GO/Au NP) cellulose substrate was prepared through layer-by-layer assembly of GO and Au NPs on a mixed cellulose ester membrane. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection of four types of organophosphorus and organosulfur pesticides was achieved by filtering the extracting solution through the substrate and analysing SERS spectra. Qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of fenthion, phoxim, isocarbophos and thiram was accomplished with the detection limits of 38.01, 8.13, 48.97 and 8.74 ng mL-1, respectively. A spiking experiment further demonstrated the feasibility of this method for rapid and on-site detection of mixed pesticides in chrysanthemum. This study provides a new approach for rapid detection of multiple hazardous substances in flowering and herbal plants.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1287:342059. [PMID: 38182367 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342059] [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: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The selective recognition of drugs and its metabolism or decomposition products is significant to drug development and drug resistance research. Fluorescence-based techniques provide satisfying sensitivity by target-triggered chemical reaction. However, the interference from the matrix or additives usually restricts the specific detection. It is highly desirable to explore specific chemical reactions for achieving selective perception of these species. RESULTS We report a specific m-aminophenol (MAP)-dopamine (DA) reaction, which generates highly fluorescent azamonardine-like products. Based on this reaction, fluorometric and indirect detection of p-aminosalicylic acid (typical antituberculosis drug, PAS) can be realized using the DA-based probe with high sensitivity. The acid induces the decarboxylation of PAS and produces MAP, which reacts with DA and generates fluorescent azamonardine-like products. The practical application of the proposed method is validated by the accurate PAS analysis in urine samples and Pasinazid tablets. Interestingly, none of additives in the Pasinazid tablets contribute comparable fluorescence variation. SIGNIFICANCE This work discovers a new MAP-DA reaction for the first time, it not only explores sensitive PAS drug detection probe, but also demonstrates the feasibility of the development of novel drug analysis platform by recognizing decomposition product with specific reaction. Thus, new avenues for the exploration of simple and rapid spectrophotometric probes toward various drug analytes with high specify and sensitivity based on this tactic might be possible in analytical and drug-related fields.

Abstract
Conventional tumor therapeutic modalities, such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery, involve low tumor inhibition efficiency, non-targeted drug delivery, and side effects. The development of novel and practical nano-drug delivery systems (DDSs) for targeted tumor therapy has become particularly important. Among various bioactive nanoparticles, chitosan is considered a suitable candidate for drug delivery due to its nontoxicity, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The amino and hydroxyl groups of chitosan endow it with the diverse function of chemical modification, thereby improving its physical and biological properties to meet the requirements of advanced biomedical applications. Therefore, it is necessary to review the property and applications of chitosan- based materials in biomedicine. In this review, the characteristics of chitosan related to its applications are first introduced, and then the preparation and modification of chitosan-based nanoparticles, including the function tailoring of chitosan-modified nanoparticles, are demonstrated and discussed. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of chitosan- based nanomaterials in this emerging field are proposed from the perspective of the rational and systematic design for the biomedicine field.

Abstract
Replicating phosphorylation-responsive ionic gates via artificial fluidic systems is essential for biomolecular detection and cellular communication research. However, current approaches to governing the gates primarily rely on volume exclusion or surface charge modulation. To overcome this limitation and enhance ion transport controllability, we introduce graphene oxide (GO) into nanochannel systems, simultaneously regulating the volume exclusion and wettability. Moreover, inspired by (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA)-regulated L-type Ca2+ channels, we employ peptides for phosphorylation which preserves them as nanoadhesives to coat nanochannels with GO. The coating boosts steric hindrance and diminishes wettability, creating a substantial ion conduction barrier, which represents a significant advancement in achieving precise ion transport regulation in abiotic nanochannels. Leveraging the mechanism, we also fabricated a sensitive biosensor for PKA activity detection and inhibition exploration. The combined regulation of volume exclusion and wettability offers an appealing strategy for controlled nanofluidic manipulation with promising biomedical applications in diagnosis and drug discovery.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has now emerged as one of the most promising materials in different areas such as photocatalysis, adsorption, and energy storage due to its high surface area, unique layered structure, etc. Among various types of precursors, anthracite coal has attracted a lot of attention nowadays as it affords GO a high concentration of sp2 carbons resulting in high conductivity and superior absorbance in the visible region. In this report, we have prepared GO-TiO2 nanocomposites as it is supposed to possess high photocatalytic activity owing to facile electron transmission from the conduction band of TiO2 to the GO surface resulting in a much lower degree of electron-hole pair recombination. To boost the photocatalytic activity further, TiO2 was coated with Ag nanoparticles as well. These hybrid structures were characterized by different analytical techniques, for example, XRD, HR-TEM, SEM, and Raman spectroscopy. The XRD pattern of these composites consists of characteristic peaks corresponding to GO, TiO2, and Ag. The HR-TEM studies confirm the presence of GO layers, cube-shaped TiO2, and spherical Ag nanoparticles. Phenol and 4-nitrophenol have been used as model pollutants to evaluate the photooxidation efficiencies under both UV and visible light irradiation. Under UV irradiation, the GO/Ag-TiO2 ternary nanocomposite shows better photooxidation efficiency (62%) compared to Ag-TiO2 (38%), GO-TiO2 (9%), GO (17%), and TiO2 (8%) toward phenol degradation. The GO/Ag-TiO2 is also having the highest photocatalytic activity toward the removal of phenol under visible light irradiation (34%). The ternary heterostructure (85%) also possesses superior photooxidation activity compared to Ag-TiO2 (44%) and GO-TiO2 (71%) toward the degradation of p-nitrophenol under UV light radiation for 60 min. The above observation reveals that the cooperative effect of Ag, TiO2, and GO is playing a crucial role to result in the high photooxidation activity of the GO/Ag-TiO2 hetero-nanocomposites.

Abstract
Herein we describe the facile synthesis of new N-doped carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) obtained from 1,10-phenanthroline by the solvothermal method. Characterization of CNPs were carried out with transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), UV-vis absorption spectra, and luminescence spectra. CNPs were pH sensitive and exploited as fluorescent chemosensors and imaging agents for Al(III) and Zn(II) ions in real-life samples. Remarkably, we show that CNPs can be used for the detection of Al(III) and Zn(II) ions in water samples. Accordingly, the results indicate that CNPs are highly effective in detecting Zn(II) content of cosmetic creams. We also demonstrated that the CNPs could be used for in vitro imaging of Al(III) and Zn(II) in Human Larynx Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Hep-2). Finally, Al(III) imaging in Angelica Officinalis root tissue was also achieved successfully. The CNPs are promising as luminescent multianalyte (pH, Al(III) and Zn(II)) sensors.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of conserved small noncoding RNAs whose expression is associated with many diseases, including cancer. Salivary miRNAs are gaining popularity as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for cancer and other systemic disorders, but their use is limited by their low abundance and complicated detection procedure. Herein, we present a novel self-assembly approach based on rolling circle amplification (RCA) and graphene oxide (GO) for the ultrasensitive detection of miRNA21 and miRNA16 (miRNA oral cancer biomarkers in human saliva). First, target miRNA hybridizes with the RCA template. In the presence of DNA polymerase, the RCA reaction is induced and sequences matching the template are generated. Then, a nicking enzyme cuts the long ssDNA product into tiny pieces to obtain the amplified products. The DNA-decorated GO sensor was fabricated by preabsorbing the ssDNA fluorescence-labeled probe on the GO surface, resulting in fluorescence quenching. The DNA-decorated GO sensor could detect the amplified product via the self-assembly of dsDNA, leading to the desorption and recovery of the fluorescence-labeled probe. Under optimal conditions, the proposed system exhibited ultrasensitive detection; the detection limits of miRNA16 and miRNA21 were 8.81 and 3.85 fM, respectively. It showed a wide range of detection between 10 fM and 100 pM for miRNA16 and between 10 fM and 1 nM for miRNA16. It demonstrated high selectivity, distinguishing between 1- and 3-mismatch nucleotides in target miRNA. Overall, our proposed DNA-decorated GO sensor can accurately detect the salivary miRNAs and may potentially be used for the diagnosis and screening of early-stage oral cancer.

Abstract
The accurate and rapid diagnosis of viral diseases has garnered increasing attention in the field of biosensors. The development of highly sensitive, selective, and accessible biosensors is crucial for early disease detection and preventing mortality. However, developing biosensors optimized for viral disease diagnosis has several limitations, including the accurate detection of mutations. For decades, nanotechnology has been applied in numerous biological fields such as biosensors, bioelectronics, and regenerative medicine. Nanotechnology offers a promising strategy to address the current limitations of conventional viral nucleic acid-based biosensors. The implementation of nanotechnologies, such as functional nanomaterials, nanoplatform-fabrication techniques, and surface nanoengineering, to biosensors has not only improved the performance of biosensors but has also expanded the range of sensing targets. Therefore, a deep understanding of the combination of nanotechnologies and biosensors is required to prepare for sanitary emergencies such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. In this review, we provide interdisciplinary information on nanotechnology-assisted biosensors. First, representative nanotechnologies for biosensors are discussed, after which this review summarizes various nanotechnology-assisted viral nucleic acid biosensors.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) was initially developed to emulate graphene, but it was soon recognized as a functional material in its own right, addressing an application space that is not accessible to graphene and other carbon materials. Over the past decade, research on GO has made tremendous advances in material synthesis and property tailoring. These, in turn, have led to rapid progress in GO-based photonics, electronics and optoelectronics, paving the way for technological breakthroughs with exceptional performance. In this Review, we provide an overview of the optical, electrical and optoelectronic properties of GO and reduced GO on the basis of their chemical structures and fabrication approaches, together with their applications in key technologies such as solar energy harvesting, energy storage, medical diagnosis, image display and optical communications. We also discuss the challenges of this field, together with exciting opportunities for future technological advances.

Abstract
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based fluorescence sensing of various target analytes has been of growing interest in the environmental, bioimaging, and diagnosis fields. Graphene-based zero- (0D) to two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, such as graphene quantum dots (GQDs), graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and graphdiyne (GD), can potentially be employed as donors/acceptors in FRET-based sensing approaches because of their unique electronic and photoluminescent properties. In this review, we discuss the basics of FRET, as well as the role of graphene-based nanomaterials (GQDs, GO, rGO, and GD) for sensing various analytes, including cations, amino acids, explosives, pesticides, biomolecules, bacteria, and viruses. In addition, the graphene-based nanomaterial sensing strategy could be applied in environmental sample analyses, and the reason for the lower detection ranges (micro- to pico-molar concentration) could also be explained in detail. Challenges and future directions for designing nanomaterials with a new sensing approach and better sensing performance will also be highlighted.

[PMID: 35424904 PMCID: PMC8959448 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra09393b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or endotoxin control is critical for environmental and healthcare issues. LPSs are responsible for several infections, including septic and shock sepsis, and are found in water samples. Accurate and specific diagnosis of endotoxin is one of the most challenging issues in medical bacteriology. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), plating and culture-based methods, and Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay are the conventional techniques in quantifying LPS in research and medical laboratories. However, these methods have been restricted due to their disadvantages, such as low sensitivity and time-consuming and complicated procedures. Therefore, the development of new and advanced methods is demanding, particularly in the biological and medical fields. Biosensor technology is an innovative method that developed extensively in the past decade. Biosensors are classified based on the type of transducer and bioreceptor. So in this review, various types of biosensors, such as optical (fluorescence, SERS, FRET, and SPR), electrochemical, photoelectrochemical, and electrochemiluminescence, on the biosensing of LPs were investigated. Also, the critical role of advanced nanomaterials on the performance of the above-mentioned biosensors is discussed. In addition, the application of different labels on the efficient usage of biosensors for LPS is surveyed comprehensively. Also, various bio-elements (aptamer, DNA, miRNA, peptide, enzyme, antibody, etc.) on the structure of the LPS biosensor are investigated. Finally, bio-analytical parameters that affect the performance of LPS biosensors are surveyed.

[PMID: 35329679 PMCID: PMC8955105 DOI: 10.3390/ma15062229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Revised: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Due to its exceptional physical properties, such as high electronic conductivity, good thermal stability, excellent mechanical strength, and chemical versatility, graphene has sparked a lot of interest in the scientific community for various applications. It has therefore been employed as an antibacterial agent, in photothermal therapy (PTT) and biosensors, in gene delivery systems, and in tissue engineering for regenerative purposes. Since it was first discovered in 1947, different graphene derivatives have been synthetized from pristine graphene. The most adaptable derivate is graphene oxide (GO). Owing to different functional groups, the amphiphilic structure of GO can interact with cells and exogenous or endogenous growth/differentiation factors, allowing cell adhesion, growth, and differentiation. When GO is used as a coating for scaffolds and nanomaterials, it has been found to enhance bone, chondrogenic, cardiac, neuronal, and skin regeneration. This review focuses on the applications of graphene-based materials, in particular GO, as a coating for scaffolds in bone and chondrogenic tissue engineering and summarizes the most recent findings. Moreover, novel developments on the immunomodulatory properties of GO are reported.
