Aptamer-free upconversion nanoparticle/silk biosensor system for low-cost and highly sensitive detection of antibiotic residues. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 258:116335. [PMID: 38710144 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116335] [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: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
The detection of antibiotics is crucial for safeguarding the environment, ensuring food safety, and promoting human health. However, developing a rapid, convenient, low-cost, and sensitive method for antibiotic detection presents significant challenges. Herein, an aptamer-free biosensor was successfully constructed using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) coated with silk fibroin (SF), based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and the charge-transfer effect, for detecting roxithromycin (RXM). A synergistic FRET efficiency was achieved by utilizing alizarin red and RXM complexes as energy acceptors, with UCNP as the energy donor, and immobilizing an ultrathin SF protein corona within 10 nm. The biosensor detects RXM in deionized water with high sensitivity primarily through monolayer adsorption, with a detection range of 1.0 nM-141.6 nM and a detection limit as low as 0.68 nM. The performance of this biosensor was compared with the ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for detecting antibiotics in river water separately and a strong correlation between the two methods was observed. The biosensor exhibited long-term stability in aqueous solutions (up to 60 d) with no attenuation of fluorescence intensity. Furthermore, the biosensor's applicability extended to the highly sensitive detection of other antibiotics, such as azithromycin. This study introduces a low-cost, eco-friendly, and highly sensitive method for antibiotic detection, with broad potential for future applications in environmental, healthcare, and food-related fields.

Abstract
Opioids are considered to be a global threat, and we are facing the worst opioid crisis of the decade. Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are highly potent and deadly toward human body, and hence its detection is an inevitable requirement globally. Naloxone is known for its antagonist property toward fentanyl, and we performed computational simulations to find their interactions and use this principle to build the first of a kind impedimetric sensor device, transduced by 3D-ZIF-8 with in situ encapsulated naloxone-gold nanoparticles. The probe is synthesized using a unique encapsulation strategy, thoroughly characterized by various physicochemical and microscopic tools. The sensor is highly selective toward fentanyl and can detect fentanyl up to 100 ppm in a synthetic sample. A prototype device is also built based on the synthetic calibration and applied to the spiked urine sample, and the performance is evaluated using statistical and machine learning tools.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical method has been developed, based on a covalent organic framework (COF) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), to detect fentanyl and alfentanil. COF nanomaterials with chrysanthemum morphology obtained by solvothermal reaction contain rich active sites for electrochemical catalytic reaction, thus improving the detection performance of the designed sensor. Reduced graphene oxide improves the sensor's sensitivity due to enhanced electron transfer. Under optimized experimental conditions, the fabricated electrode presents a linear range of 0.02 to 7.26 μM for alfentanil and 0.1 to 6.54 μM for fentanyl, with detection limits of 6.7 nM and 33 nM, respectively. In addition, the sensor possesses excellent selectivity, outstanding reproducibility, and acceptable stability. The proposed sensor is feasible for the reliable monitoring of fentanyl and alfentanil in human serum samples, with acceptable reliability and high potential in real-world applications. Finally, the electrochemical characteristic fingerprint of fentanyl is investigated by studying the electrochemical behavior of alfentanil and fentanyl on the electrode surface.

Abstract
The advantages of porosity and stable unpaired electrons of porphyrinic organic polymers (POPs) with free radicals are exclusive and potentially practical functionalities and combining the semiconductor-like characteristics of these materials and metal ions has been an effective way to assemble an efficient photocatalytic system. Herein, a new ruthenium (Ru) ion-encapsulated porphyrinic organic polymer (POP/Ru) is facilely synthesized as a proper photoresponsive nanozyme with unique photo-oxidase properties. Surprisingly, the proposed POP/Ru revealed outstanding photoresponsive oxidase-mimicking activity due to the synergetic effect of the integration of Ru and π-electrons of POP, which boosts charge separation and transport. POP/Ru was applied to the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) as a chromogenic probe for producing a colorimetric signal. The kinetic study reveals that these photo-oxidase mimics have a significant affinity for the o-PDA chromogenic agent owing to a lower Km and superior Vmax. Further findings demonstrate that the presence of the l-arginine (l-Arg) target causes an inhibition effect on the photo-nanozymatic colorimetry of POP/Ru. This research develops the applications of the comprehensive colorimetric strategy for ultrasensitive l-Arg monitoring with a limit of detection (LOD) of 15.2 nM in the dynamic range of 4.0 nM-340 μM and illuminates that the proposed photo-oxidase nanozyme as a visual strategy is feasible in l-Arg environmentally friendly colorimetric detection in juice samples.

Abstract
Leakage and contamination of hazardous chemical substances have been widely recognized as the critical issue in ensuring human health, maintaining environmental sustainability, and safeguarding public security. Urotropin as a crucial raw material in industrial holds a potential threat to aquatic/atmospheric environment with refractory degradation problem, hence, there remains a severe challenge to effectively and on-site monitor urotropin. Here, a general design with all-in-one strategy was presented, in which a highly integrated "pocket sensing chip" combining a sampling unit and a detecting unit together endows a rapid and ultrasensitive colorimetric detection without dead-zone towards urotropin. By loading fast blue B as sensing reagent in the detecting unit, a moderate and sensitive detection towards urotropin via electrostatic interaction was achieved with detection limits of 9 μM for liquid and 17.19 ng for particulates. Furthermore, an expandable sensing chip for the purpose of simultaneously screening on multi-target exhibited remarkable applicability for examining suspicious objects with all sorts of surface in real scenes, being unacted on environmental complexity. We expect this design would provide a universal strategy and the high referential value to propel the development of handy and portable sensing device to efficiently screen the environmental relevant critical substance on-site.

Abstract
Mesna is an important regional antidote for protecting the urinary system of chemotherapy patients, which requires monitoring its level in real time to ensure the curative effect. The fluorescence method is a powerful tool in real-time detection with the advantages of fast response and visualization. However, the background interference limits its application in biological sensing. Here, we developed a portable sensing platform using an upconversion-based nanosensor for visual quantitative monitoring of mesna in real-time/on-site conditions. The nanosensor was constructed by upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and ethyl violet (EV), in which the UCNPs emitted red and green light, while EV quenched the green light due to the inner filter effect (IFE). The reaction of mesna with EV caused its fading and broke the IFE process, leading to the recovery of green light. By the fluorescence and colorimetric chromaticity variations, the nanosensor achieved a dual-readout detection for mesna with low limits of detection (LODs) of 26 and 48 nM, respectively. Furthermore, a highly compatible sensing platform was fabricated for facile determination of mesna with an LOD of 56 nM, realizing visual quantitative monitoring of the mesna level to ensure the curative effect and providing a new strategy for point-of-care testing of drugs in clinical settings.

[PMID: 35049654 PMCID: PMC8774265 DOI: 10.3390/bios12010026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Revised: 12/25/2021] [Accepted: 12/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The review describes fentanyl and its analogs as new synthetic opioids and the possibilities of their identification and determination using electrochemical methods (e.g., voltammetry, potentiometry, electrochemiluminescence) and electrochemical methods combined with various separation methods. The review also covers the analysis of new synthetic opioids, their parent compounds, and corresponding metabolites in body fluids, such as urine, blood, serum, and plasma, necessary for a fast and accurate diagnosis of intoxication. Identifying and quantifying these addictive and illicit substances and their metabolites is necessary for clinical, toxicological, and forensic purposes. As a reaction to the growing number of new synthetic opioid intoxications and increasing fatalities observed over the past ten years, we provide thorough background for developing new biosensors, screen-printed electrodes, or other point-of-care devices.

Colorimetric determination of cysteine based on Au@Pt nanoparticles as oxidase mimetics with enhanced selectivity. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 189:13. [PMID: 34870756 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-021-05091-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Accepted: 11/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
A H2O2-free colorimetric protocol based on urchin-like Au@Pt nanoparticles (Au@Pt NPs) has been developed for the sensitive and selective determination of cysteine (Cys). We verified the intrinsic oxidase-like activity of the Au@Pt NPs. They can act as artificial mimic oxidases to catalyse the oxidization of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with the assistance of dissolved oxygen, avoiding the use of H2O2 in the colorimetric determination of Cys. In addition, the discrimination of Cys from the other two biothiol analogues, homocysteine and glutathione, can be easily realized through a simple ageing process. HNO3 is added to this colorimetric system to terminate the reaction by oxidizing ox-TMB (oxidized form of TMB) to diphenoquinone (DPQ), thus generating a characteristic absorption peak of DPQ at 450 nm. By recording the absorbance at 450 nm, interference from the aggregated Au@Pt NPs (absorption peak at 670 nm) when 650 nm (the characteristic absorption peak of ox-TMB) is used as the absorption wavelength can be eliminated. We investigated this H2O2-free colorimetric protocol and obtained high sensitivity, with a detection limit of 1.5 nM and relatively high selectivity. The analytical performance for real samples was further explored. The Au@Pt NP-based H2O2-free colorimetric protocol is of great significance for the sensitive and selective determination of Cys in practical samples in different scenarios.

Abstract
A variety of species could be detected by using nanopores engineered with various recognition sites based upon non-covalent interactions, including electrostatic, aromatic, and hydrophobic interactions. The existence of these engineered non-covalent bonding sites was supported by the single-channel recording technique. The advantage of the non-covalent interaction-based sensing strategy was that the recognition site of the engineered nanopore was not specific for a particular molecule but instead selective for a class of species (e.g., cationic, anionic, aromatic, and hydrophobic). Since different species produce current modulations with quite different signatures represented by amplitude, residence time, and even characteristic voltage-dependence curve, the non-covalent interaction-based nanopore sensor could not only differentiate individual molecules in the same category but also enable differentiation between species with similar structures or molecular weights. Hence, our developed non-covalent interaction-based nanopore sensing strategy may find useful application in the detection of molecules of medical and/or environmental importance.
