RESUMO

In present work, blue carbon dots (b-CDs) were derived from ammonium citrate and guanidine hydrochloride, and red carbon dots (r-CDs) were stemmed from malonate, ethylenediamine and meso­tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphin based on facile hydrothermal method. Eco-friendly ratiometric fluorescence probe was innovatively constructed to effectively measure Hg2+ utilizing b-CDs and r-CDs. The developed probe displayed two typical emission peaks at 450 nm from b-CDs and 650 nm from r-CDs under the excitation at 360 nm. Mercury ion has strong quenching effect on the fluorescence intensity at 450 nm due to the electron transfer process and the fluorescence change at 450 nm was used as the response signal, whereas the fluorescence intensity at 650 nm kept unchangeable which resulted from the chemical inertness between Hg2+ and r-CDs, serving as the reference signal in the sensing system. Under optimal circumstances, this probe exhibited an excellent linearity between the fluorescence response values of ΔF450/F650 and Hg2+ concentrations over range of 0.01-10 µmol/L, and the limit of detection was down to 5.3 nmol/L. Furthermore, this probe was successfully employed for sensing Hg2+ in practical environmental water samples with satisfied recoveries of 98.5%-105.0%. The constructed ratiometric fluorescent probe provided a rapid, environmental-friendly, reliable, and efficient platform for measuring trace Hg2+ in environmental field.

RESUMO

Diphenylalanine(FF)-Zn self-assembly (FS) confined in covalent organic polymers (FS@COPs) with efficient fluorescence was synthesized for fluorescence sensing of biogenic amines, which was one of the most important indicators for monitoring food freshness. FS@COPs combined excellent biodegradability of self-assembled dipeptide with chemical stability, porosity and targeted site recognition of COPs. With an optimal excitation wavelength of 360 nm and an optimal emission wavelength of 450 nm, FS@COPs could be used as fluorescence probes to rapidly visualize and highly sensitive determination of tryptamine (Try) within 15 min, and the linear range was from 40 to 900 µg L-1 with a detection limit of 63.08 µg kg-1. Importantly, the FS@COPs showed a high fluorescence quantum yield of 11.28%, and good stability, solubility, and selectivity, which could successfully achieve the rapid, accurate and highly sensitive identification of Try. Furthermore, we revealed the mechanism of FS@COPs for fluorescence sensing of targets. The FS@COPs system was applied to the fluorescence sensing of Try in real samples and showed satisfactory accuracy of 93.02%-105.25%.

RESUMO

Cupric ions (Cu2+), pyrophosphate (PPi), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are involved in a variety of biochemical processes such as DNA replication, cellular metabolism and play an important role in human growth and development. It is of great significance to establish a method for the sensitive detection of Cu2+, PPi and ALP. In this work, polyethyleneimine-capped silver nanoclusters (PEI-AgNCs) were successfully synthesized by a one-pot method using hydrazine sulfate as reductant, exhibiting a unique strong fluorescence emission in the near-ultraviolet region at ∼339 nm. Since the fluorescence of PEI-AgNCs can be quenched by Cu2+ through inner filtering effect (IFE), then recovered by competitive binding of pyrophosphate and Cu2+, and later weakened again by catalytic hydrolysis of alkaline phosphatase, a sensitive and selective strategy based on the changes of fluorescence "ON" or "OFF" was established to detect Cu2+, PPi and ALP. The LODs of these three analytes were 36 nM, 0.2 µM, and 0.14 U L-1 at a S/N ratio of 3, respectively. A series of logic gate circuits for sensing cupric ions, pyrophosphate, and alkaline phosphatase were successfully constructed. The established methods have the potential for biosensing and environmental analysis and the specific UV-A fluorescence property of PEI-AgNCs may be helpful in photonic and optical areas.

RESUMO

Functional materials with organic/inorganic composites as the main matrix and rare earth ion complexes as the guest have shown a very broad application prospect for antibiotic sensors. However, Eu3+-complex often relies on a single fluorescence response signal, which is susceptible to changes in the detection environment and cannot simultaneously detect and remove tetracycline (TC). Herein, green fluorescent covalent two-dimensional organic framework (COF-TD) is synthesized, followed by modification of Eu3+ to synthesize COF-TD@Eu3+. In the ratiometric sensor, Eu3+ serves as the recognition site and specific response probe for TC, while COF-TD is the fluorescence reference and carrier for Eu3+. Due to the antenna effect, TC enhances the red fluorescence of Eu3+, while the green fluorescence of COF-TD remains almost stable. Based on the change of fluorescence intensity and fluorescence color from green to red, the efficient ratiometric sensing can be finished in 1 min. The developed method shows high sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.3 µM and high selectivity to TC which makes the method applicable to detect TC in traditional Chinese medicine preparations. In addition, due to the high specific surface area of COFs and specific adsorption sites, COF-TD@Eu3+ also shows good performance for TC removal. The findings show that the maximum adsorption capacity is 137.3 mg g-1 and the adsorption equilibrium is reached in 30 min. Smartphone assisted COF-TD@Eu3+ for both ratiometric fluorescence detection and detecting the absorption of TC is proposed for the first time. The molecular cryptosteganography that transforms the selective response of COF-TD@Eu3+ to binary strings is anticipated to advance utilization of nanomaterials in logic sensing and information safety.

RESUMO

During the pandemic, Favipiravir (FVP) and Molnupiravir (MPV) have been widely used for COVID-19 treatment, leading to their presence in the environment. A green synchronous spectrofluorimetric method was developed to simultaneously detect them in environmental water, human plasma, and binary mixtures. Maximum fluorescence intensity was achieved at pH 8, with MPV exhibiting two peaks at 300 and 430 nm, and FVP showing one peak at 430 nm. A fluorescence subtraction method effectively removed interference, enabling direct determination of MPV at 300 nm and FVP at 430 nm. The method showed linearity within 2-13 ng/mL for FVP and 50-600 ng/mL for MPV, with recoveries of 100.35% and 100.12%, respectively. Limits of detection and quantification were 0.19 and 0.57 ng/mL for FVP and 10.52 and 31.88 ng/mL for MPV. Validation according to ICH and FDA guidelines yielded acceptable results. The method demonstrated good recoveries of FVP and MPV in pharmaceuticals, tap water and Nile water (99.62% ± 0.96% and 99.69% ± 0.64%) as per ICH guidelines and spiked human plasma (94.87% ± 2.111% and 94.79% ± 1.605%) following FDA guidelines, respectively. Its environmental friendliness was assessed using Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI) and the Analytical Greenness Metric (AGREE) tools.

RESUMO

Hemicyanine dyes are an ideal structure for building near-infrared fluorescent probes due to their excellent emission wavelength properties and biocompatibility in biological imaging field. Developing a near-infrared fluorescent probe capable of detecting cysteine (Cys) was the aim of this study. A novel developed fluorescent probe P showed high selectivity and sensitivity to Cys in the presence of various analytes. The detection limit of P was found to be 0.329 µM. The MTT assay showed that the probe was essentially non-cytotoxic. Furthermore, the probe was successfully used as cysteine imaging in living cells and mice.

RESUMO

Herein we have reported a fluorescent probe (MB-M) based on MB derivative for Cu2+ ions detection. The probe was well characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HR-MS spectrum. Probe MB-M showed naked-eyes recognition to Cu2+ as color change from colorless to indigo. The probe exhibited promising features such as high fluorescence and UV-vis selectivity, fast response (5 mint), workable at pH 2-7, and low limit of detection (LOD = 0.33 µM). Probe MB-M was also used for Cu2+ ions imaging in HepG-2 cells and detection in daily life (Test Strip and lake water). Moreover, non-covalent interaction (NCI) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis were used to study the interaction between MB-M and Cu2+ ions. By examining the electronic characteristics of the complex using natural bond orbital (NBO), electron density difference (EDD), and frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis, the sensitivity of MB-M towards Cu2+ ions were investigated. The results illustrated that the interactions between MB-M and Cu2+ ions involved chemisorption.

RESUMO

Melanin is a crucial pigment in melanomagenesis. Its fluorescence in human tissue is exceedingly weak but can be detected through advanced laser spectroscopy techniques. The spectral profile of melanin fluorescence distinctively varies among melanocytes, nevomelanocytes, and melanoma cells, with melanoma cells exhibiting a notably "red" fluorescence spectrum. This characteristic enables the diagnosis of melanoma both in vivo and in histological samples. Neuromelanin, a brain pigment akin to melanin, shares similar fluorescence properties. Its fluorescence can also be quantified with high spectral resolution using the same laser spectroscopic methods. Documented fluorescence spectra of neuromelanin in histological samples from the substantia nigra substantiate these findings. Our research reveals that the spectral behavior of neuromelanin fluorescence mirrors that of melanin in melanomas. This indicates that the typical red fluorescence is likely influenced by the microenvironment around (neuro)melanin, rather than by direct pigment interactions. Our ongoing studies aim to further explore this distinctive "red" fluorescence. We have observed this red fluorescence spectrum in post-mortem measurements of melanin in benign nevus. The characteristic red spectrum is also evident here (unlike the benign nevus in vivo), suggesting that hypoxia may contribute to this phenomenon. Given the central role of hypoxia in both melanoma development and treatment, as well as in fundamental Parkinson's disease mechanisms, this study discusses strategies aimed at reinforcing the hypothesis that red fluorescence from (neuro)melanin serves as an indicator of hypoxia.

RESUMO

The pH of human sweat is highly related with a variety of diseases, whereas the monitoring of sweat pH still remains challenging for ordinary families. In this study, we developed a novel dual-emission Tb-MOF using DPA as the ligand and further designed and constructed a skin-attachable Tb-MOF ratio fluorescent sensor for real-time detection of human sweat pH. With the increased concentration of H+, the interaction of H+ with carbonyl organic ligand leads to the collapse of the Tb-MOF crystal structure, resulting in the interruption of antenna effect, and correspondingly increasing the emission of the ligand at 380 nm and decreasing the emission of the central ion Tb3+ at 544 nm. This Tb-MOF nanoprobe has a good linear response in the pH range of 4.12-7.05 (R2 = 0.9914) with excellent anti-interference ability. Based on the merits of fast pH response and high sensitivity, the nanoprobe was further used to prepare flexible wearable sensor. The wearable sensor can detect pH in the linear range of 3.50-6.70, which covers the pH range of normal human sweat (4.50-6.50). Subsequently, the storage stability and detection accuracy of the sensors were evaluated. Finally, the sensor has been successfully applied for the detection of pH in actual sweat samples from 21 volunteer and the real-time monitoring of pH variation during movement processing. This skin-attachable Tb-MOF sensor, with the advantages of low cost, visible color change and long shelf-life, is appealing for sweat pH monitoring especially for ordinary families.

RESUMO

A dual-emission ratiometric fluorescence sensor (CDs@CdTe@MIP) with a self-calibration function was successfully constructed for AMO detection. In the CDs@CdTe@MIP system, non-imprinted polymer-coated CDs and molecule-imprinted polymer-coated CdTe quantum dots were used as the reference signal and response elements, respectively. The added AMO quenched the fluorescence of the CdTe quantum dots, whereas the fluorescence intensity of the CDs remained almost unchanged. The AMO concentration was monitored using the fluorescence intensity ratio (log(I647/I465)0/(I647/I465)) to reduce interference from the testing environment. The sensor with a low detection limit of 0.15 µg/L enabled detection of the AMO concentration within 6 min. The ratiometric fluorescence sensor was used to detect AMO in spiked pork samples; it exhibited a high recovery efficiency and relative standard deviation (RSD) of 97.94-103.70% and 3.77-4.37%, respectively. The proposed highly sensitive and selective platform opens avenues for sensitive, reliable, and rapid determination of pharmaceuticals in the environment and food safety monitoring using ratiometric sensors.

RESUMO

Berberine (BBR), as a natural isoquinoline alkaloid, has demonstrated various pharmacological activities, and is widely applied in the treatment of diseases. The quantitative analysis of BBR is important for pharmacological studies and clinical applications. In this work, utilizing the specific interaction between BBR and triplex DNA, a sensitive and selective fluorescent detecting method was established with DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs). After binding with the triplex structure in the template of DNA-AgNCs, BBR quenched the fluorescence of DNA-AgNCs and formed BBR-triplex complex with yellow-green fluorescence. The ratiometric fluorescence signal showed a linear relationship with BBR concentration in a range from 10 nM to 1000 nM, with a detection limit of 10 nM. Our method exhibited excellent sensitivity and selectivity, and was further applied in BBR detection in real samples.

RESUMO

The human body synthesizes catecholamine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and noradrenaline. Monitoring the levels of these molecules is crucial for the prevention of important diseases, such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, Parkinson's, Huntington's, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and paragangliomas. Here, we have synthesized, characterized, and functionalized the BODIPY core with picolylamine (BDPy-pico) in order to create a sensor capable of detecting these biomarkers. The sensing properties of the BDPy-pico probe in solution were studied using fluorescence titrations and supported by DFT studies. Catecholamine sensing was also performed in the solid state by a simple strip test, using an optical fiber as the detector of emissions. In addition, the selectivity and recovery of the sensor were assessed, suggesting the possibility of using this receptor to detect dopamine and norepinephrine in human saliva.

RESUMO

Tetracycline (TC) has been widely used in clinical medicine and animal growth promotion due to its broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and affordable prices. Unfortunately, the high toxicity and difficult degradation rate of TC molecules make them easy to accumulate in the environment, which breaks the ecological balance and seriously threatens human health. Rapid and accurate detection of TC residue levels is important for ensuring water quality and food safety. Recently, fluorescence detection technology of TC residues has developed rapidly. Lanthanide nanomaterials, based on the high luminescence properties of lanthanide ions and the high matching with TC energy levels, are favored in the real-time trace detection of TC due to their advantages of high sensitivity, rapidity, and high selectivity. Therefore, they are considered potential substitutes for traditional detection methods. This review summarizes the synthesis strategy, TC response mechanism, removal mechanism, and applications in intelligent sensing. Finally, the development of lanthanide nanomaterials for TC fluorescence detection and removal is reasonably summarized and prospected. This review provides a reference for the establishment of a method for the accurate determination of TC content in complex food matrices.

RESUMO

Fluorescence-based oligonucleotide probes have a great importance in research of molecular interactions. Molecular beacons (MBs) are special case of fluorescent probes that form a stem-loop shape, bringing together a fluorophore and quencher, thus emitting fluorescence only when hybridized to a complementary target. Here we describe a new method for the quantitation of MB hybridization based on the measurement of changes in free energy instead of the fluorescence intensity. The MB energy state can be measured by micro-fluorescence detection. The approach allowed to determine hybridization energy of the MB with target nucleotide directly from fluorescence spectra and distinguish the MB in unfolded and hybridized states. Moreover, the method enabled us to discriminate between DNA duplexes with perfect complementarity or a single-nucleotide mismatch, based on the first direct experimental prove of enthalpy-entropy compensation.

RESUMO

The behavior and presence of actin-regulating proteins are characteristic of various clinical diseases. Changes in these proteins significantly impact the cytoskeletal and regenerative processes underlying pathological changes. Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), a cytoprotective neuropeptide abundant in the nervous system and endocrine organs, plays a key role in neuron differentiation and migration by influencing actin. This study aims to elucidate the role of PACAP as an actin-regulating polypeptide, its effect on actin filament formation, and the underlying regulatory mechanisms. We examined PACAP27, PACAP38, and PACAP6-38, measuring their binding to actin monomers via fluorescence spectroscopy and steady-state anisotropy. Functional polymerization tests were used to track changes in fluorescent intensity over time. Unlike PACAP27, PACAP38 and PACAP6-38 significantly reduced the fluorescence emission of Alexa488-labeled actin monomers and increased their anisotropy, showing nearly identical dissociation equilibrium constants. PACAP27 showed weak binding to globular actin (G-actin), while PACAP38 and PACAP6-38 exhibited robust interactions. PACAP27 did not affect actin polymerization, but PACAP38 and PACAP6-38 accelerated actin incorporation kinetics. Fluorescence quenching experiments confirmed structural changes upon PACAP binding; however, all studied PACAP fragments exhibited the same effect. Our findings indicate that PACAP38 and PACAP6-38 strongly bind to G-actin and significantly influence actin polymerization. Further studies are needed to fully understand the biological significance of these interactions.

RESUMO

Leveraging the fluorescence enhancement effect of the G-triplex (G3)/thioflavin T (ThT) catalyzed by the adjacent double-stranded DNA positioned at the 5' terminus of the G3, the G3-specific oligonucleotide (G3MB6) was utilized to facilitate the rapid detection of mercury (Hg(II)) through thymine-Hg(II)-thymine (T-Hg(II)-T) interactions. G3MB6 adopted a hairpin structure in which partially complementary strands could be disrupted with the presence of Hg(II). It prompted the formation of double-stranded DNA by T-Hg(II)-T, inducing the unbound single strand of G3MB6 to spontaneously form a parallel G3 structure, producing a solid fluorescence signal by ThT. Conversely, fluorescence was absent without Hg(II), since no double strand and formation of G3 occurred. The fluorescence intensity of G3MB6 exhibited a positive correlation with Hg(II) concentrations from 17.72 to 300 nM (R2 = 0.9954), boasting a notably low quality of limitation (LOQ) of 17.72 nM. Additionally, it demonstrated remarkable selectivity for detecting Hg(II). Upon application to detect Hg(II) in milk samples, the recovery rates went from 100.3% to 103.2%.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Direct detection of the notorious explosive triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is very difficult because it lacks facile ionization and UV absorbance or fluorescence. Besides, the current indirect methods are time-consuming and need a pre-step for TATP cleavage to hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, they commonly show significant false-positive results in the presence of some camouflage which limits their field applications. Herein, for the first time, a novel label-free field-applicable spectrofluorimetric nanobiosensor was developed for direct TATP detection using a novel activated-protein protected gold nanocluster (ABSA-AuNCs; QY = 28.3 %) synthesized by a combined protein-assisted-ultrasonication procedure. RESULTS: The ABSA-AuNCs revealed a fluorescence spectrum centered at 330.0 nm which was significantly quenched by TATP (binding constant = 154.06 M-1; ΔG = -12.5 kJ mol-1; E(%) = 88.5 %). This phenomenon was used as a basis for direct TATP quantification, providing a working range of 0.01-40.0 mg L-1 and a detection limit of 6.7 µg L-1 which is the lowest LOD provided for TATP detection up to now. A %RSD of 0.9 % and 1.56 % was obtained for repeatability and inter-day reproducibility, respectively. The selectivity was checked against a variety of camouflages, revealing ultra-selectivity. Several synthetic samples prepared by several camouflages and real samples (clay soil and real water media) were analyzed, revealing quantitative recoveries of TATP. SIGNIFICANCE: During the production of the notorious explosive TATP, it can be discharged into water and soil. This novel method eliminated the false-positive results of traditional methods and is applicable for direct quantitative detection of camouflaged TATP and its residues in real soil and water samples in a highly short response time (2 min). The camouflaged TATP analysis is important for tracking the terrorist attacks in field conditions and analysis of soil and water can provide a first indication of the location of the production site.

RESUMO

Constructing label-free bivariate fluorescence biosensor would be intriguing and desired for the recognizable and accurate detection of two specific DNA segments, yet the design of functional DNA structures with low overlapped interference might be challenging. Herein in this work, a double-faced Janus DNA nanoarchitecture (JDNA) with bi-responsive recognition regions on opposite sides was assembled, which consisted of two substrate strands and two template strands for loading green-/red-emissive Ag nanoclusters (gAgNC and rAgNC) as bivariate signaling reporters. Of note, the hybridized double helix in the middle rationally oriented two flank faces and stabilized the rigid conformation of JDNA, while the template sequences of bicolor clusters were blocked to minimize non-specific background leakage. Upon inputting two targets, the discernible hairpins lost their hairpin structures due to forming two dsDNA complexes. They were executed to simultaneously invade JDNA for activating two individual target-recycled strand displacement (TRSD) events, guiding signal transduction and efficient amplification. Consequently, the clustering templates were unlocked via the tailored conformation switch of JDNA, in which gAgNC and rAgNC were in situ synthesized in two diagonal positions, thereby significantly emitting bi-responsive signal without cross interference. Benefited from the logic integration of double-faced JDNA and TRSD, a label-free, sensitive and specific bivariate fluorescence approach was developed, which would open a new avenue for the potential application in biosensing and bioanalysis.

RESUMO

The development of a fluorescent probe for pyriproxyfen (PPF) is crucial due to its potential threat to human health. However, the chemical inertness and low solubility of PPF present significant challenges for the detection of PPF in aqueous solutions using fluorescent probes. Herein, we have originally proposed a complex based on 2-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)-3-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-4 H-chromen-4-one (HOF) and serum albumin (SA) as a dual-mode fluorescent probe, HOF@SA. This probe utilizes an indicator displacement assay (IDA) to release the dye HOF from the probe at low PPF concentrations (< 10 µM) and embeds the free dye HOF into the micelle of PPF at high concentrations (> 10 µM). This results in dual-mode fluorescent response characteristics for PPF: a turn-off response at low concentrations and a ratiometric response at high concentrations. An investigation of sensing behavior of HOF@SA for PPF detection exhibits rapid response (< 60 s), high sensitivity (LOD ∼4.7 ppb), high selectivity, and excellent visual detection capability (from cyan to yellow). Moreover, with the aid of a portable device, this method enables to analyze PPF in environmental and food samples. These results promote the advancement of a fluorescent probe approach for PPF analysis in environment and food.

RESUMO

Guaifenesin (GUA) is determined in dosage forms and plasma using two methods. The spectrofluorimetric technique relies on the measurement of native fluorescence intensity at 302 nm upon excitation wavelength "223 nm". The method was validated according to ICH and FDA guidelines. A concentration range of 0.1-1.1 µg/mL was used, with limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) values 0.03 and 0.08 µg/mL, respectively. This method was used to measure GUA in tablets and plasma, with %recovery of 100.44% ± 0.037 and 101.03% ± 0.751. Furthermore, multivariate chemometric-assisted spectrophotometric methods are used for the determination of GUA, paracetamol (PARA), oxomemazine (OXO), and sodium benzoate (SB) in their lab mixtures. The concentration ranges of 2.0-10.0, 4.0-16.0, 2.0-10.0, and 3.0-10.0 µg/mL for OXO, GUA, PARA, and SB; respectively, were used. LOD and LOQ were 0.33, 0.68, 0.28, and 0.29 µg/mL, and 1.00, 2.06, 0.84, and 0.87 µg/mL for PARA, GUA, OXO, and SB. For the suppository application, the partial least square (PLS) model was used with %recovery 98.49% ± 0.5, 98.51% ± 0.64, 100.21% ± 0.36 & 98.13% ± 0.51, although the multivariate curve resolution alternating least-squares (MCR-ALS) model was used with %recovery 101.39 ± 0.45, 99.19 ± 0.2, 100.24 ± 0.12, and 98.61 ± 0.32 for OXO, GUA, PARA, and SB. Analytical Eco-scale and Analytical Greenness Assessment were used to assess the greenness level of our techniques.
