Abstract
Antidepressant abuse has become a growing concern due to their bioaccumulation and potential drug resistance in the environment. Developing smart sensing platforms for antidepressant drug identification could monitor their contamination situation in time. Here, a novel boron-doped g-C3N4-glycolchitosan composite (BCNP-GC) was synthesized with high fluorescence emission and ultralong water stability. The electron-deficient boron atom greatly improves the fluorescence response of the composite, while the encapsulation of glycol-chitosan (GC) further enhances its water stability. The designed BCNP-GC could serve as a highly efficient fluorescent probe for the rapid and sensitive detection of nortriptyline (NOT), a typical antidepressant drug in the environment, via internal filtration effect and dynamic quenching effect. It is expected that this strategy can be extended to the fabrication of a variety of nitrogenous carbon-based tricyclic antidepressant monitoring systems with more customized functionalities.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research is to disseminate knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological phenomena and processes in structures that have at least one lengthscale ranging from molecular to approximately 100 nm (or submicron in some situations), and exhibit improved and novel properties that are a direct result of their small size.
Nanoparticle research is a key component of nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology.
The focus of the Journal is on the specific concepts, properties, phenomena, and processes related to particles, tubes, layers, macromolecules, clusters and other finite structures of the nanoscale size range. Synthesis, assembly, transport, reactivity, and stability of such structures are considered. Development of in-situ and ex-situ instrumentation for characterization of nanoparticles and their interfaces should be based on new principles for probing properties and phenomena not well understood at the nanometer scale. Modeling and simulation may include atom-based quantum mechanics; molecular dynamics; single-particle, multi-body and continuum based models; fractals; other methods suitable for modeling particle synthesis, assembling and interaction processes. Realization and application of systems, structures and devices with novel functions obtained via precursor nanoparticles is emphasized. Approaches may include gas-, liquid-, solid-, and vacuum-based processes, size reduction, chemical- and bio-self assembly. Contributions include utilization of nanoparticle systems for enhancing a phenomenon or process and particle assembling into hierarchical structures, as well as formulation and the administration of drugs. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies, and interaction between the research providers and users in this field, are encouraged.
