Abstract
A desirable ratiometric fluorescent probe was designed by using 3-carboxyphenylboronic acid functionalized polyethyleneimine ethoxylated modified copper nanoclusters (CPBA@PEI-CuNCs) for detecting luteolin (LTL, cis-diols structure) with sensitivity and selectivity. Characterization techniques were carried out with the TEM, PSD, FT-IR, XPS and XRD, confirming its successful formation with a quantum yield of 40.49 %. As the optimal excitation wavelength at 386 nm, the fluorescence intensity was detected by fluorophotometer. Meanwhile, the nanoprobe has two emission wavelengths 396 and 473 nm. According to the fluorescence quenching intensity ratio (F473/F396), the LOD reached as low as 1.22 nM within the range from 0.11 to 600 μM. The CPBA@PEI-CuNCs exhibited pH-controlled, covalent, and reversible binding properties. Using PEI capped by CuNCs, cytotoxicity is reduced for potential treatment purposes. Additionally, the developed probe was used for LTL detection, HepG2 cell imaging and pH-responsive drug delivery in real samples with carrot leaves, peanut shells, and perilla leaves samples. CPBA@PEI-CuNCs demonstrated repeatability and reproducibility, making it a cost-effective and practical tool for fluorescence analysis in detection.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
