文摘Simultaneous identification and quantitative detection of phenylenediamine(PDA)isomers,including o-phenylenediamine(OPD),m-phenylenediamine(MPD),and p-phenylenediamine(PPD),are essential for environmental risk assessment and human health protection.However,current visual detection methods can only distinguish individual PDA isomers and failed to identify binary or ternary mixtures.Herein,a highly active and ultrastable peroxidase(POD)-like CoPt graphitic nanozyme was used for naked-eye identification and colorimetric/fluorescent(FL)dual-mode quantitative detection of PDA isomers.The CoPt@G nanozyme effectively catalyzed the oxidation of OPD,MPD,PPD,OPD+PPD,OPD+MPD,MPD+PPD and OPD+MPD+PPD into yellow,colorless,lilac,yellow,yellow,wine red and reddish-brown products,respectively,in the presence of H_(2)O_(2).Thus,the MPD,PPD,MPD+PPD and OPD+MPD+PPD were easily identified based on the distinct color of their oxidation products,and the OPD,OPD+PPD,OPD+MPD could be further identified by the additional addition of MPD or PPD.Subsequently,CoPt@G/H_(2)O_(2)-,a 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)/CoPt@G/H_(2)O_(2)-,and MPD/CoPt@G/H_(2)O_(2)-enabled colorimetric/FL dual-mode platforms for the quantitative detection of OPD,MPD and PPD were proposed.The experimental results illustrated that the constructed sensing platforms exhibit satisfactory sensitivity,comparable to that reported in previous studies.Finally,the evaluation of PDAs in water samples was realized,yielding satisfactory recoveries.This work expanded the application prospects of nanozymes in assessing environmental risks and protection of human security.

文摘The detection of amino acid enantiomers holds significant importance in biomedical,chemical,food,and other fields.Traditional chiral recognition methods using fluorescent probes primarily rely on fluorescence intensity changes,which can compromise accuracy and repeatability.In this study,we report a novel fluorescent probe(R)-Z1 that achieves effective enantioselective recognition of chiral amino acids in water by altering emission wavelengths(>60 nm).This water-soluble probe(R)-Z1 exhibits cyan or yellow-green luminescence upon interaction with amino acid enantiomers,enabling reliable chiral detection of 14 natural amino acids.It also allows for the determination of enantiomeric excess through monitoring changes in luminescent color.Additionally,a logic operation with two inputs and three outputs was constructed based on these optical properties.Notably,amino acid enantiomers were successfully detected via dual-channel analysis at both the food and cellular levels.This study provides a new dynamic luminescence-based tool for the accurate sensing and detection of amino acid enantiomers.

文摘Fluorescent probes,with their superior optical properties and labeling versatility,have greatly advanced the visualization of intracellular molecules and subcellular structures.However,poor cytoplasmic delivery,caused by charge,size,or targeting groups,limits the effective use of many fluorescent probes in live cells.Recently,cell-penetrating peptides(CPPs)have emerged as efficient carriers,offering great potential for the cytoplasmic delivery of fluorescent probes in live cells.This review provides a comprehensive overview of CPPs as vehicles for probe delivery,outlining advances in their development,conjugation chemistries,and intracellular delivery mechanisms.Recent applications in live-cell imaging are highlighted and organized according to major CPP modification strategies,including sequence engineering,cyclization,hybrid design and enhancement by chemical reagents.Finally,the challenges that remain and the future outlook of this rapidly evolvingfield are discussed.
文摘Under solvothermal conditions,1,4‑naphthalenedicarboxylic acid(H_(2)ndc)and 9,9′‑dihexyl‑2,7‑di(pyridin‑4‑yl)fluorene(hfdp)reacted with Co^(2+)ions and Cd^(2+)ions to form two coordination polymers,[Co(hfdp)(ndc)(H2O)]·DMA}n(1)and{[Cd(hfdp)(ndc)(H_(2)O)]·DMA}_(n)(2),respectively(DMA=N,N‑dimethylacetamide).Single‑crystal X‑ray diffraction analyses showed that both complexes 1 and 2 contain similar structures.Topological analysis indicates that complexes 1 and 2 have a{44·62}planar structure.In addition,both complexes reveal good thermal stability and fluorescence sensing performance.They exhibited good sensitivity and selectivity towards 2,4,6‑trinitrophenol(TNP)by fluorescent quenching.The limits of detection of 1 and 2 for TNP were 0.107 and 0.327μmol·L^(-1),respectively.CCDC:2475515,1;2475516,2.
文摘Herein,antibacterial silver‑doped fluorescent carbon dots(Ag‑CDs)were synthesized through a stepwise hydrothermal method,with polyethyleneimine(PEI),citric acid(CA),and silver nitrate(AgNO3)serving as precursors.The applicability and antimicrobial efficacy of these nanomaterials were systematically investigated for metal ion sensing.Experimental evidence demonstrated that the Ag‑CDs exhibited a pronounced fluorescence quenching response toward ferric ions(Fe^(3+)),enabling their quantitative determination via a linear concentration‑dependent relationship.These Ag‑CDs exhibited significant inhibitory effects on biofilm growth and disruption for both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.Mechanism investigations indicate that Ag‑CDs induced the death of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by disrupting their bacterial morphology and structure,triggering the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS),and impairing their antioxidant defense system.
文摘In this study,a self-calibrating near-infrared fluorescence probe was designed and synthesized based on the dual-fluorophore strategy utilizing methylene blue and coumarin.The probe utilized methylene blue(emission spectrum range:640-740 nm)and coumarin fluorophore(emission spectrum range:440-600 nm)as signal output units,thereby achieving effective spectral separation and highly selective detection of HClO.Under physiological pH conditions,HClO triggers an oxidation-cleavage reaction,releasing methylene blue and coumarin,which emit distinct red and green fluorescence,respectively.This dual-emission feature enabled rapid HClO detection with two-channel detection limits of 25.13 nmol·L^(-1)(green channel)and 31.55 nmol·L^(-1)(red channel).Furthermore,in cell imaging experiments,this probe demonstrated excellent cell membrane permeability and low cytotoxicity,successfully enabling the monitoring of both endogenous and exogenous HClO in living cells.By incorporating a twochannel self-calibration system,the probe effectively mitigated signal variations caused by instrumental or environmental interference,substantially improving detection sensitivity and reliability.

文摘Fluorescence-based imaging applications have been benefiting greatly from donor-acceptor(D-A)/donor-π-acceptor(D-π-A)fluorescent probes owing to their intramolecular charge transfer(ICT)nature and self-assembly behavior.In this study,we design and synthesize a hydrophilic D-A fluorescent probe,namely CHBA,which would self-assemble into interlaced textures down to nanoscale but disassemble by trace amount of water in fingertip area.Upon finger-pressing,it enables fingerprint imaging and covers level-1/2/3 fingerprint information,wherein the sweat pores can be mapped in both bright field model and fluorescence mode,capable of naked-eye-based similarity analysis for personal identity verification(PIV).Spectroscopic analysis and morphology study show that the working mechanism can be attributed to the selective water-erosion effect on the solid-liquid interphase under physical contact.The sweat pore information can be digitized by polar coordinate conversion,further allowing machine-learning-based analysis for PIV application.The final PIV accuracy reaches 100%for all the involved machine-learning models,with no erroneous judgements.A prototype of PIV system is constructed by integrating CHBA with artificial intelligence hardware,wherein the sweat pore imaging,data processing and the decisionmaking could be run in parallel,suggesting high feasibility in real-world application.

文摘In recent years,cellulose-based fluorescent polymers have received considerable attention.However,conventional modification methods face challenges such as insolubility in most solvents,fluorescence instability,and environmental risks.In this study,a novel biosynthesis strategy was developed to fabricate fluorescent cellulose by adding fluorescent glucose derivatives to a bacterial fermentation broth.The metabolic activity of bacteria is utilized to achieve in situ polymerization of glucose and its derivatives during the synthesis of bacterial cellulose.Owing to the structural similarity between triphenylamine-modified glucose(TPA-Glc N)and glucose monomers,the TPA-Glc N were efficiently assimilated by the bacterial cells and incorporated into the cellulose matrix,resulting in a uniform distribution of fluorescence.The fluorescence color and intensity of the obtained cellulose could be adjusted by varying the amount of the fluorescent glucose derivatives.Compared to the fluorescent cellulose synthesized through physical dyeing,the fluorescence of the products obtained by in situ polymerization showed higher intensity and stability.Furthermore,fluorescent bacterial cellulose can be hydrolyzed into nanocellulose-based ink,which demonstrates exceptional anti-counterfeiting capabilities under UV light.This biosynthesis method not only overcomes the limitations of traditional modification techniques but also highlights the potential of microbial systems as platforms for synthesizing functional polymers.

文摘The fluorophores Xan-OH and Xan-OH/FBS,based on xanthene structure,possess an effective nearinfrared absorption,near-infraredⅡ(NIR-Ⅱ)fluorescent imaging ability,and excellent photothermal property.Xan-OH/FBS also has good viscosity-sensitivity,enabling the real-time in vivo visualization of acute liver injury induced by CCl_(4).Moreover,the photothermal conversion coefficient of Xan-OH and Xan-OH/FBS under 808 nm laser irradiation are significant(27.53%and 26.77%,respectively),which could realize NIR-Ⅱfluorescence imaging-guided photothermal therapy for He La xenograft tumor.Given these promising characteristics,Xan-OH/FBS is an efficient NIR-Ⅱfluorescent imaging agent for acute liver injury and a potential photothermal therapeutic agent for tumor.
文摘To address the lack of systematic studies on heavy metal fluorescent probes in typical buffer solutions,this study developed a Fe^(3+)and Cu^(2+)fluorescent probe,DHU‑NP‑4,based on a naphthalimide fluorophore.Comparative analysis of the probe's performance in various buffer systems revealed that buffers with high organic content are unsuitable for evaluating such probes.Furthermore,the pH of the solvent system was found to significantly influence the probe's behavior.Under highly acidic conditions(pH≤2),DHU‑NP‑4 exhibited exceptional specificity for Fe^(3+),while in alkaline conditions,it demonstrated high specificity for Cu^(2+).Leveraging these properties,the probe enabled the quantitative detection of Fe^(3+)and Cu^(2+)in solution.

文摘Colorectal cancer(CRC)is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors worldwide,exhibiting high morbidity and mortality.Lack of efficient tools for early diagnosis and surgical resection guidance of CRC have been a serious threat to the long-term survival rate of the CRC patients.Recent studies have shown that relative higher viscosity was presented in tumor cells compared to that in normal cells,leading to viscosity as a potential biomarker for CRC.Herein,we reported the development of a series of novel viscosity-sensitive and mitochondria-specific fluorescent probes(HTB,HTI,and HTP)for CRC detection.Among them,HTB showed high sensitivity,minimal background interference,low cytotoxicity,and significant viscous response capability,making it an ideal tool for distinguishing colorectal tumor cells from normal cells.Importantly,we have successfully utilized HTB to visualize in a CRC-cells-derived xenograft(CDX)model,enriching its medical imaging capacity,which laid a foundation for further clinical translational application.
