Abstract
In this work, a triphenylamine-benzofuran-derived fluorescent probe TBSF was developed for monitoring the sulfite level in Chinese medicinal materials and imaging in living cells. In the testing system, under 445 nm excitation, TBSF responded to sulfite steadily with a 540 nm fluorescence reporting signal. The testing system showed advantages including high sensitivity, rapid response, and high selectivity. In particular, TBSF achieved the sulfite detection in the water decoction of Chinese medicinal materials from both addition and excessive fumigation. It also realized the intracellular imaging of both exogenous and endogenous sulfite in living HepG2 cells. The imaging in water decoction-treated cells inferred the potential for the interdisciplinary detection.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134127. [PMID: 38554521 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024]
Abstract
Developing methods for the accurate identification and analysis of sulfur-containing compounds (SCCs) is of great significance because of their essential roles in living organisms and the diagnosis of diseases. Herein, Se-doping improved oxidase-like activity of iron-based carbon material (Fe-Se/NC) was prepared and applied to construct a four-channel colorimetric sensor array for the detection and identification of SCCs (including biothiols and sulfur-containing metal salts). Fe-Se/NC can realize the chromogenic oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by activating O2 without relying on H2O2, which can be inhibited by different SCCs to diverse degrees to produce different colorimetric response changes as "fingerprints" on the sensor array. Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) revealed that nine kinds of SCCs could be well discriminated. The sensor array was also applied for the detection of SCCs with a linear range of 1-50 μM and a limit of detection of 0.07-0.2 μM. Moreover, colorimetric sensor array inspired by the different levels of SCCs in real samples were used to discriminate cancer cells and food samples, demonstrating its potential application in the field of disease diagnosis and food monitoring. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: In this work, a four-channel colorimetric sensor array for accurate SCCs identification and detection was successfully constructed. The colorimetric sensor array inspired by the different levels of SCCs in real samples were also used to discriminate cancer cells and food samples. Therefore, this Fe-Se/NC based sensor array is expected to be applied in the field of environmental monitoring and environment related disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The development of reliable probe technology for the detection of bisulfite (HSO3-) in situ in food and biological samples is contributing significantly to food quality and safety assurance as well as community health. In this work, a responsive probe, EHDI, is developed for ratiometric fluorescence detection of HSO3- in aqueous solution, meat samples, and living cells. The probe is designed based on the HSO3- triggered 1,4-addition of electron deficit C = C bond of EHDI. As a result of this specific 1,4-addition, the π-conjugation system was destructed, resulting in blue shifts of the emission from 687 to 440 nm and absorption from 577 to 355 nm. The probe has good water solubility, high sensitivity and selectivity, allowing it to be used for imaging of HSO3- internalization and production endogenously. The capability of probe EHDI for HSO3- was then validated by traditional HPLC technology, enabling accurately detect HSO3- in beef samples. The successful development of this probe thus offers a new tool for investigating HSO3- in situ in food and biological conditions.

Abstract
Excessive sulfite usage in food and pharmaceutical production causes respiratory and neurological diseases, underscoring the need for a sensitive and rapid quantification strategy. The portable sensing platform based on a luminescent hydrogel sensor is a powerful tool for the on-site, real-time detection of sulfite ions. However, the lack of recyclability in almost all reaction-based hydrogel sensors increases the application cost. This study constructed a reversible and upconversion nanoprobe combining upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and pararosaniline (PAR) for sulfite detection. The upconversion nanoprobe was further encapsulated in a three-dimensional polyacrylamide hydrogel matrix to create a background-free, reversible hydrogel sensor. The near-infrared excitation of UCNPs avoids the autofluorescence in the hydrogel and real samples. Meanwhile, PAR serves as a specific recognition unit for sulfite ions. After the addition of sulfites, a specific reaction occurs between PAR and sulfites, leading to the recovery of characteristic emission at 540 nm, achieving sensitive detection of sulfite ions. Importantly, this specific reaction is reversible under thermal treatment, allowing the hydrogel sensor to return to its initial state and thus enabling reversible detection of sulfite ions. Furthermore, a portable sensing platform is developed to realize point-of-care, real-time quantitative detection of sulfite ions. The proposed upconversion reversible hydrogel sensor provides a new sensing strategy for the detection of hazardous substances in food and offers new insights into the preparation of reversible, highly sensitive hydrogel sensors.
