Abstract
This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements and applications of fluorescence imaging probes synthesized via MCRs (multicomponent reactions). These probes, also known as functional chromophores, belong to a currently investigated class of fluorophores that are presently being successfully applied in bioimaging experiments, especially in various living cell lineages. We describe some of the MCRs that have been employed in the synthesis of these probes and explore their applications in biological imaging, with an emphasis on cellular imaging. The review also discusses the challenges and future perspectives in the field, particularly considering the potential impact of MCR-based fluorescence imaging probes on advancing this field of research in the coming years. Considering that this area of research is relatively new and nearly a decade has passed since the first publication, this review also provides a historical perspective on this class of fluorophores, highlighting the pioneering works published between 2011 and 2016.

Abstract
A signal shut-off probe of Si, N-codoped carbon quantum dots (Si, N-CQDs) was exploited to detect Cr(VI) by fluorescence quenching without the aid of any biomolecules or labeling materials. The sensing system prepared the precursor of diacetone acrylamide and the silane coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550) by a simple hydrothermal method, and the quantum yield is as high as 75% Si, N-CQDs. The fluorescence stability and microstructure of the Si, N-CQDs were studied. The Si, N-CQDs has a high sensitivity for detecting Cr(VI) with the linear range of 0–200 μM and the detection limit of 0.995 μM. The quenching mechanism of Si, N-CQDs is attributed to FRET.

Abstract
As the core of polymer chemistry, manufacture of functional polymers is one of research hotspots over the past several decades. Various polymers are developed for diverse applications due to their tunable structures and unique properties. However, traditional step-by-step preparation strategies inevitably involve some problems, such as separation, purification, and time-consuming. The multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are emerging as environmentally benign synthetic strategies to construct multifunctional polymers or composites with pendant groups and designed structures because of their features, such as efficient, fast, green, and atom economy. This mini review summarizes the latest advances about fabrication of multifunctional fluorescent polymers or adsorptive polymeric composites through different MCRs, including Kabachnik-Fields reaction, Biginelli reaction, mercaptoacetic acid locking imine reaction, Debus-Radziszewski reaction, and Mannich reaction. The potential applications of these polymeric composites in biomedical and environmental remediation are also highlighted. It is expected that this mini-review will promote the development preparation and applications of functional polymers through MCRs.

Abstract
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have attracted broad interest for preparation of functional nanomaterials especially for the synthesis of functional polymers. Herein, we utilized an "old" MCR, the four-component Ugi reaction, to synthesize disulfide bond containing poly(PEG-TPE-DTDPA) amphiphilic copolymers with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature. This four-component Ugi reaction was carried out under rather mild reaction conditions, such as room temperature, no gas protection and absent of catalysts. The amphiphilic poly(PEG-TPE-DTDPA) copolymers with high number-average molecular weight (up to 86,440 Da) can self-assemble into claviform fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles (FPNs) in aqueous solution, and these water-dispersed nanoparticles exhibited strong emission, large Stokes shift (142 nm), low toxicity and remarkable ability in cellular imaging. Moreover, owing to the introduction of 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid with disulfide bond, the resultant AIE-active poly(PEG-TPE-DTDPA) could display reduction-responsiveness and be utilized for synthesis of photothermal agents in-situ. Therefore, the AIE-active poly(PEG-TPE-DTDPA) could be promising for controlled intracellular delivery of biological activity molecules and fabrication of multifunctional AIE-active materials. Therefore, these novel AIE-active polymeric nanoparticles could be of great potential for various biomedical applications, such as biological imaging, stimuli-responsive drug delivery and theranostic applications.

Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are a kind of aluminosilicate clay with a unique hollow tubular structure that has been intensively explored for various applications especially in biomedical fields owing to their excellent biocompatibility, biodegrading potential and low cost. Surface modification of HNTs with functional polymers will greatly improve their properties and endow new functions for biomedical applications. In this work, a light-induced reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was introduced to successfully prepare HNTs based fluorescent HNTs/poly(PEGMA-Fl) composites in the presence of oxygen using diacrylate-fluorescein and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) as the monomers. Without other catalysts, heating, and deoxygenation procedure, the polymerization process can take place under mild conditions. Besides, owing to the introduction of fluorescein and PEGMA on the surface of HNTs, the resultant HNTs/poly(PEGMA-Fl) composites display high water dispersibility and stable fluorescence. The results from cell viability examination and confocal laser scanning microscopy also demonstrated that HNTs/poly(PEGMA-Fl) composites could be internalized by L929 cells with bright fluorescence and low cytotoxicity. Taken together, we developed a novel photo-initiated RAFT polymerization method for the fabrication of HNTs based fluorescent polymeric composites with great potential for biomedical applications. More importantly, many other multifunctional HNTs based polymer composites could also be fabricated through a similar strategy owing to good designability of RAFT polymerization.

Abstract
An efficient and stable fluorescent sensor is described for the detection and imaging of thiols. It is making use of silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) which can be rapidly prepared. They were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray power diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry. The SiQDs have an absorption maximum at 300 nm and displayed blue-green fluorescence with excitation/emission maxima at 410/480 nm. A mixture of SiQDs and 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) exhibits strong fluorescence emission which however is quenched within 30 s of incubation with thiols. This is assumed to be due to an inner filter effect caused by the reaction of DTNB and thiols. The following thiols were tested: cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione. The sensor has a linear response in the 3-100 μM thiol concentration range, and the LODs are between 0.80 and 0.96 μM. The sensor displays low cytotoxicity and was applied to fluorescence imaging of MCF-7 cells and Hela cells where it demonstrated excellent biocompatibility.

ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE 2020; 7:192092. [PMID: 32269815 PMCID: PMC7137975 DOI: 10.1098/rsos.192092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2019] [Accepted: 01/30/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The critical micelle concentration (CMC) is an important parameter of widely used surfactants and needs to be measured in the application and development of surfactants. Fluorometric method is a widely used method determining CMC values owing to the advantages of highly sensitivity, fast response and wide application range. There are two common methods (I and II) of preparing samples for CMC fluorometric determination. In the process of developing CMC probes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics, we found that methods I and II were not suitable for CMC probes with AIE charateristics and developed a new sample preparation method (III), which is not only suitable for CMC probes with AIE characteristic but also decreases operation procedures and errors owing to omitting the addition of micro amount of dyes into each sample. To ascertain if method III is also suitable for other CMC probes without AIE characteristics, the CMC values of surfactants were determined by fluorometric method using widely used pyrene without AIE charateristic as probe and methods I-III to prepare samples. The obtained experimental results proved that method III not only was suitable for preparation of samples for CMC determination of surfactants using pyrene as probe but also led to the least average deviation (methods I-III led to ±0.13, ±0.34 and ±0.05 mM deviation for the CMC determination of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), respectively). The CMC determination using pyrene as probe is based on its change in the ratio (I FIII/I FI) of its emission peaks I and III with surfactant concentration. Unexpectedly, it was found that the I FIII/I FI value of pyrene in surfactant solutions is sensitive to the measurement conditions changing exciting light energy, such as slit widths and sample-measured number. In addition, it was found that surfactant SDS or cetrimonium bromide from different suppliers not only has significantly different CMC values but also leads to very different I FIII/I FI values of pyrene in a certain concentration of surfactant, which can be used as a simple method to distinguish the same surfactant with different CMC values.

Abstract
MXenes are a new type of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbide or carbonitride material with a 2D structure similar to graphene. The general formula of MXenes is Mn+1XnTx, in which M is an early transition metal element, X represents carbon, nitrogen and boron, and T is a surface oxygen-containing or fluorine-containing group. These novel 2D materials possess a unique 2D layered structure, large specific surface area, good conductivity, stability, and mechanical properties. Benefitting from these properties, MXenes have received increasing attention and emerged as new substrate materials for exploration of various applications including, energy storage and conversion, photothermal treatment, drug delivery, environmental adsorption and catalytic degradation. The progress on various applications of MXene-based materials has been reviewed; while only a few of them covered environmental remediation, surface modification of MXenes has never been highlighted. In this review, we highlight recent advances and achievements in surface modification and environmental applications (such as environmental adsorption and catalytic degradation) of MXene-based materials. The current studies on the biocompatibility and toxicity of MXenes and related materials are summarized in the following sections. The challenges and future directions of the environmental applications of MXene-based materials are also discussed and highlighted.

Abstract
An efficient polymer dimerization method is developed on a self-accelerating double strain-promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition (DSPAAC) click reaction. In this approach, varied polymer dimers can be efficiently prepared by coupling azide terminated polymer building blocks by sym-dibenzo-1,5-cyclooctadiene-3,7-diyne (DIBOD) small linkers. The distinct advantages of this method can be summarized as follows. First, the azide terminated polymer building blocks can be easily prepared with varied molecular topologies such as linear, star, and dendritic shapes. Second, the self-accelerating property of DSPAAC coupling reaction allows the method to efficiently prepare pure polymer dimers in the presence of excess molar amounts of DIBOD small linkers to azide-terminated polymer building blocks. Third, the click property of DSPAAC coupling reaction facilitates the dimerization reaction with a very mild ambient reaction condition. As a result, this method provides a powerful tool to fabricate topological polymers with a symmetrical molecular structure such as block, star, and dendritic polymers. A convenient and efficient method was developed to prepare topological polymers with a symmetric molecular structure by dimerizing azide terminated polymers based on the self-accelerating double strain-promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction.![]()

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging and magnetic resonance imaging have been research hotspots for adjuvant therapy and diagnosis. However, traditional fluorescent probes or contrast agents possess insurmountable weaknesses. In this work, we reported the preparation of dual-mode probes based on mesoporous silica nanomaterials (MSNs), which were doped with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dye and Gd3+ through a direct sol-gel method. In this system, the obtained materials emitted strong red fluorescence, in which the maximum emission wavelength was located at 669 nm, and could be applied as effective fluorescence probes for fluorescence microscopy imaging. Furthermore, the introduction of Gd3+ made the nanoparticles effective contrast agents when applied in contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging because they could improve the contrast of MR imaging. The excellent biocompatibility of these nanoparticles, as demonstrated via a typical CCK-8 assay, and their performance in fluorescence cell imaging and MR imaging shows their potential for applications in biomedical imaging.

Abstract
MXenes, as a novel kind of two-dimensional (2D) materials, were first discovered by Gogotsi et al. in 2011. Owing to their multifarious chemical compositions and outstanding physicochemical properties, the novel types of 2D materials have attracted intensive research interest for potential applications in various fields such as energy storage and conversion, environmental remediation, catalysis, and biomedicine. Although many achievements have been made in recent years, there still remains a lack of reviews to summarize these recent advances of MXenes, especially in biomedical fields. Understanding the current status of surface modification, biomedical applications and toxicity of MXenes and related materials will give some inspiration to the development of novel methods for the preparation of multifunctional MXene-based materials and promote the practical biomedical applications of MXenes and related materials. In this review, we present the recent developments in the surface modification of MXenes and the biomedical applications of MXene-based materials. In the first section, some typical surface modification strategies were introduced and the related issues were also discussed. Then, the potential biomedical applications (such as biosensor, biological imaging, photothermal therapy, drug delivery, theranostic nanoplatforms, and antibacterial agents) of MXenes and related materials were summarized and highlighted in the following sections. In the last section, the toxicity and biocompatibility of MXenes in vitro were mentioned. Finally, the development, future directions and challenges about the surface modification of MXene-based materials for biomedical applications were discussed. We believe that this review article will attract great interest from the scientists in materials, chemistry, biomedicine and related fields and promote the development of MXenes and related materials for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Extended-release local anesthetics (LAs) have drawn increasing attention with their promising role in improving analgesia and reducing adverse events of LAs. Nano-structured carriers such as liposomes and polymersomes optimally meet the demands of/for extended-release, and have been utilized in drug delivery over decades and showed satisfactory results with extended-release. Based on mature technology of liposomes, EXPAREL, the first approved liposomal LA loaded with bupivacaine, has seen its success in an extended-release form. At the same time, polymersomes has advances over liposomes with complementary profiles, which inspires the emergence of hybrid carriers. This article summarized the recent research successes on nano-structured extended-release LAs, of which liposomal and polymeric are mainstream systems. Furthermore, with continual optimization, drug delivery systems carry properties beyond simple transportation, such as specificity and responsiveness. In the near future, we may achieve targeted delivery and controlled-release properties to satisfy various analgesic requirements.

Abstract
Fluorescent hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles have received significant attention in biomedical fields due to their outstanding advantages, such as low immunogenicity, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, fluorescent HAp nanoparticles with well controlled size and morphology are coated with hydrophobic molecules and their biomedical applications are largely restricted by their poor dispersibility in physiological solutions. Therefore, surface modification of these hydrophobic fluorescent HAp nanoparticles to render them water dispersibility is of utmost importance for biomedical applications. In this work, we reported for the first time for preparation of water-dispersible hydrophilic fluorescent Eu3+-doped HAp nanoparticles (named as HAp-PEOTx) through the cationic ring-opening polymerization using hydrophilic and biocompatible 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EOTx) as the monomer. The characterization techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been used to characterize these samples. Results confirmed that we could successfully obtain the hydrophilic fluorescent HAp-PEOTx composites through the strategy described above. These fluorescent HAp-PEOTx composites display great water dispersibility, unique fluorescent properties and excellent biocompatibility, making them promising for in vitro bioimaging applications.

Abstract
In the current research previously developed composites composed from poly (l-lactide) (PLLA) and nano-hydroxyapatite (10 wt% nHAp/PLLA) were functionalized with different concentrations of europium (III) (Eu3+). The aim of this study was to determine whether Eu3+ ions doped within the 10 wt% nHAp/PLLA scaffolds will improve the bioactivity of composites. Therefore, first set of experiments was designed to evaluate the effect of Eu3+ ions on morphology, viability, proliferation and metabolism of progenitor cells isolated from adipose tissue (hASC). Three different concentration were tested i.e. 1 mol%, 3 mol% and 5%mol. We identified the 10 wt% nHAp/PLLA@3 mol% Eu3+ scaffolds as the most cytocompatible. Further, we investigated the influence of the composites doped with 3 mol% Eu3+ ions on differentiation of hASC toward bone and cartilage forming cells. Our results showed that 10 wt% nHAp/PLLA@3 mol% Eu3+ scaffolds promotes osteogenesis and chondrogenesis of hASCs what was associated with improved synthesis and secretion of extracellular matrix proteins specific for bone and articular cartilage tissue. We also proved that obtained biomaterials have bio-imaging function and their integration with bone can be monitored using micro computed tomography (μCT).

Abstract
A sensitive and specific approach was developed for the determination of Haemophilus influenza using DNA based bio-assay. In this study, citrate capped silver nanoparticle was synthesized and employed for bioconjugation with pDNA toward target sequences detection. In this study, synthesized probe (SH-5'-AAT TTT CCA ACT TTT TCA CCT GCA T-3') of Haemophilus influenza was detected with great sensitivity and selectivity after hybridization with cDNA (5'-ATG CAG GTG AAA AAG TTG GAA AAT T-3'). Regarding to the obtained results, the low limit of quantification (LLOQ) of DNA sample was 1 ZM using 15 μL of probe and 200 μL of Cit/AgNPs. According to ultra-sensitivity of the fabricated optical DNA-based bio-assay, it has potential for bacterial determination both in clinical and environmental specimens. To evaluate the selectivity of developed DNA based biosensor, three mismatch sequences were applied. Finally, the designed genosensor is a significant diagnostic strategy for detection of Haemophilus influenza with great selectivity.

Ultrasound-assisted catalyst-free thiol-yne click reaction in chitosan chemistry: Antibacterial and transfection activity of novel cationic chitosan derivatives and their based nanoparticles. Int J Biol Macromol 2019; 143:143-152. [PMID: 31805332 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2019.11.241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2019] [Revised: 11/25/2019] [Accepted: 11/30/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate that the thiol-yne click reaction could be efficiently mediated by ultrasonic irradiation and implement the ultrasound-assisted thiol-yne click reaction to chitosan chemistry as a polymer-analogous transformation. We optimize power and frequency of ultrasound to preserve selectivity of the click reaction and avoid ultrasonic degradation of the chitosan polymer chain. Thus, we obtain a new water-soluble betaine. Using ionic gelation of the obtained betaine derivatives of chitosan, we prepare nanoparticles with a unimodal size distribution. Furthermore, we present results of antibacterial and transfection activity tests for the chitosan derivatives and their based nanoparticles. The derivative with a medium molecular weight and a high degree of substitution demonstrated the best antibacterial effect. It derived nanoparticles with a size of ca. 100 nm and ζ-potential of ca. +69 mV revealed even higher antibacterial activity, slightly superior to commercial antibiotics ampicillin and gentamicin. On the contrary, the obtained polymers possess a much more pronounced transfection activity as compared with their based nanoparticles and species with a low degree of substitution acts as the most efficient transfecting agent. Moreover, the obtained betaine chitosan derivatives as well as their derived nanoparticles are non-toxic.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a novel type of one-dimensional carbon nanomaterials that have been widely utilized for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, cancer photothermal treatment owing to their high surface area and unique interaction with cell membranes. However, their biomedical applications are still impeded by some drawbacks, including poor water dispersibility, lack of functional groups and toxicity. Therefore, surface modification of CNTs to overcome these issues should be importance and of great interest. In this work, we reported for the first time that CNTs could be surface modification through the combination of Diels-Alder (D-A) reaction and redox polymerization, this strategy shows the advantages of mild reaction conditions, water tolerance, low temperature and hydroxyl-surfaced initiator. In this modification procedure, the hydroxyl groups were introduced on the surface of CNTs through the D-A reaction that was adopted for grafting the copolymers, which were initiated by the Ce(IV)/HNO3 redox system using the hydrophilic and biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) and carboxyl-rich acrylic acid (AA) as monomers. The final CNTs-OH-PAA@PEGMA composites were characterized by a series of characterization techniques. The drug loading and release results suggested that anticancer agent cis‑platinum (CDDP) could be loaded on CNTs-OH-PAA@PEGMA composites through coordination with carboxyl groups and drug release behavior could be controlled by pH. More importantly, the cell viability results clearly demonstrated that CNTs-OH-PAA@PEGMA composites displayed low toxicity and the drug could be transported in cells and still maintain their therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Nanodiamond (ND) has been widely studied as a new type of carbon nanomaterials that is expected to be used as a promising candidate in various fields especially in the field of biomedicine. However, its poor water dispersibility and insufficient controlled release limit its practical applications. In this paper, ND-based composites with pH-responsive hydrazone bonds were successfully prepared by a simple chemical reaction between ester groups and hydrazine hydrate, in which ester groups were conjugated on the surface of ND via thiol-ene click reaction. On the other hand, CHO-PEG and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) were linked on the carriers through formation of hydrazone bonds, resulting in improving water dispersibility and high drug loading capacity. The structure, thermal stability, surface morphology and particle size of ND carriers were characterized by different equipment. Results demonstrated that we have successfully prepared these functionalized ND. The release rate of DOX in acidic environment was significantly greater than that in normal physiological environment. More importantly, cell viability and optical imaging results showed that ND-based composites possess good biocompatibility, therapeutic effect, and could successfully transport DOX to HepG2 cells. Considering the above results, we believe that our new ND carriers will become promising candidates for intracellular controlled drug delivery and cancer treatment.

Abstract
The preparation of fluorescent inorganic-organic polymer composites for biomedical applications has become one of the most interest research focuses recently. In this work, we reported a novel method for the preparation of Tb3+-doped luminescent layered double hydroxides (LDHs) based composites by taken advantage of a one-pot supramolecular chemistry. The adamantane can be immobilized on the surface of Tb3+-doped LDHs to obtain LDH-Ad, which could be further utilized for modified by the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) containing hyperbranched polyglycerols (β-CD-HPG) through the host-guest interaction. Based on the characterization results, we demonstrated that the hyperbranched polyglycerol could be facilely introduced on these fluorescent Tb3+-doped LDHs through the method described in this work. The obtained Tb3+-doped LDHs based polymer composites (LDHs-β-CD-HPG) display improved water dispersibility and still maintain their fluorescence. The results based on various biological assays suggest that LDHs-β-CD-HPG polymer composites are of low cytotoxicity and their cell uptake behavior can be effectively traced using confocal laser imaging. All of the above results demonstrated that the fluorescent Tb3+-doped LDHs based polymer composites could be effectively surface modified with hydrophilic hyperbranched polymers through a one-pot facile host-guest interaction and the resultant fluorescent composites are of excellent physicochemical properties and display great potential for biomedical applications. This novel surface modification method should also be important for fabrication of other multifunctional composites and therefore great advanced the development of biomedical applications of fluorescent LDHs based polymer composites and related materials.

Abstract
The enhanced sensitivity of up-conversion luminescence is imperative for the application of up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). In this study, microfibers were fabricated after co-doping UCNPs with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and silver (Ag) solutions. Transmission losses and sensitivities of UCNPs (tetrogonal-LiYF4:Yb3+/Er3+) in the presence and absence of Ag were investigated. Sensitivity of up-conversion luminescence with Ag (LiYF4:Yb3+/Er3+/Ag) is 0.0095 K-1 and reduced to (LiYF4:Yb3+/Er3+) 0.0065 K-1 without Ag at 303 K under laser source (980 nm). The UCNP microfibers with Ag showed lower transmission losses and higher sensitivity than without Ag and could serve as promising candidate for optical applications. This is the first observation of Ag-doped microfiber via facile method.

Abstract
Haemophilus influenza (H. influenza) is a gram negative coccobacillus pathogenic microorganism. H. influenza produces beta-lactamases, and it is also able to modify its penicillin-binding proteins, so it has gained resistance to the penicillin family of antibiotics. In this work, a novel sensitive approach was established for the monitoring of H. influenza using DNA based bio-assay. For the first time, specific sequence of thiolated probe of Haemophilus influenza (SH-5'-AAT TTT CCA ACT TTT TCA CCT GCA T-3') was immobilized on the surface of gold (Au) electrode. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) was carried out in toluidine blue (TB) solution for DNA hybridization and targeting of cDNA sequence of Haemophilus influenza. Field scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) was applied to investigation of the electrode morphology and estimate of particle size. In the optimal conditions, the planned strategy could detect target DNA (5'-ATG CAG GTG AAA AAG TTG GAA AAT T-3') down to 1 ZM with a linear range from 1 μM to 1 ZM. Moreover, engineered geno-assay selectively differentiates the complementary sequence from target sequences with one, double and three base mismatch sequences.
