Evaluation of luminol chemiluminescence based on simultaneous introducing of coumarin derivatives as green fluorophores and chitosan-induced Au/Ag alloy nanoparticle as catalyst for the sensitive determination of glucose.

We report herein the development of a novel chemiluminescence system based on simultaneous introducing of synthetic coumarin derivatives and chitosan-induced Au/Ag alloy NPs on the luminol CL system and suggest how it may be useful for determination of glucose. Chitosan-induced Au/Ag nanoalloys in the coumarin derivatives intensified-luminol CL system, in addition to catalyze CL reaction can make a change in the process of coumarin derivatives effect as fluorophore on the luminol CL system. This phenomenon is caused by interaction between active functional groups of coumarin derivatives and chitosan. The interaction strength depends on the coumarin derivatives' structure and their substituents. Considering the inevitable trend luminol radical and superoxide anion radical to absorption on the surface of the embedded Au/Ag nanoalloy in the chitosan matrix, it can be concluded that chitosan acts as a platform for all reagents involved in the CL reaction including coumarin derivatives, Au/Ag nanoalloy and luminol, and electron-transfer taking place on it; Placing all chemiluminescent reagents together on the chitosan network can lead to a powerful CL due to increasing rigidity of CL system. The most efficient coumarin derivative on the Au/Ag nanoalloy-fluorophore-luminol-H2O2 CL system, in relation to interaction capability with chitosan' functional groups, was selected and the CL condition in presence of it was optimized. Whereas the glucose oxidase-mediated oxidation of glucose yields gluconic acid and H2O2, under optimum condition the most efficient CL system was applied to detection of glucose due to enzymatically production of hydrogen peroxide. The linear response range of 1.5 × 10(-6)-5.0 × 10(-3) M and the detection limit (defined as the concentration that could be detected at the signal-to-noise ratio of 3) of 7.5 × 10(-7) M was found for the glucose standards. Also, the developed method was successfully applied to determination of glucose in real serum and urine samples of diabetic patients and validated against colorimetric spectroscopy method.

Chitosan-induced Au/Ag nanoalloy dispersed in IL and application in fabricating an ultrasensitive glucose biosensor based on luminol-H2O2-Cu²âº/IL chemiluminescence system.

A novel glucose biosensor based on the chemiluminescence (CL) detection of enzymatically generated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was constructed by one covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOD) in glutaraldehyde-functionalized glass cell. In following, chitosan-induced Au/Ag nanoparticles dispersed in ion liquid (IL) were synthesised and immobilized on it. Herein, chitosan molecules acted as both the reducing and stabilizing agent for the preparation of NPs and also, as a coupling agent GOD and Au/Ag alloy NPs. In addition to catalyze luminol CL reaction, these NPs offered excellent catalytic activity toward hydrogen peroxide generation in enzymatic reaction between GOD and glucose. The used IL in fabrication of biosensor increased its stability. Also, IL alongside Cu(2+) accelerated enzymatic and CL reaction kinetic, and decreased luminol CL reaction optimum pH to 7.5 which would enable sensitive and precision determination of glucose. Under optimum condition, linear response range of glucose was found to be 1.0 × 10(-6)-7.5 × 10(-3)M, and detection limit was 4.0 × 10(-7)M. The CL biosensor exhibited good storage stability, i.e., 90% of its initial response was retained after 2 months storage at pH 7.0. The present CL biosensor has been applied satisfactory to analysis of glucose in real serum and urine samples.

A new chemiluminescence method for determination of clonazepam and diazepam based on 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Ethylsulfate/copper as catalyst.

A novel chemiluminescence (CL) reaction, Benzodiazepines-H2O2-1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Ethylsulfate/copper, for determination of clonazepam and diazepam at nanogram per milliliter level in batch-type system have been described. The method relies on the catalytic effect of 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Ethylsulfate/copper on the chemiluminescence reaction of Benzodiazepines, the oxidation of Benzodiazepines with hydrogen peroxide in natural medium. The influences of various experimental parameters such as solution pH, the ratio of 1-Ethyl-3 Methylimidazolium ethylsulfate concentration to copper ion, the type of buffer and the concentration of CL reagents were investigated. Under the optimum condition, the proposed method was satisfactorily applied for the determination of these drugs in tablets and urine without the interference of their potential impurities.
