Therefore, it is critical to develop convenient quantitative methods for monitoring IL-6 quantity in gingival crevicular fluid. In this study, methylene blue (MB)-decorated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is employed as signal probe to further support the antibody-enabling specific recognition of IL-6. Due to π-π stacking and electrostatic interactions, rGO-MB nanocomposites can be stably obtained. rGO with good conductivity and large surface area characteristics promotes the redox signals of MB on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). In addition, through the simple <i>in situ</i> self-polymerization of dopamine, the polydopamine (PDA) obtained can be not only directly used as a biological crosslinking agent for covalent immobilization of anti-IL-6 antibody but can also be regarded as a protective layer to enhance the stability of rGO-MB on the GCE surface. Such a designed PDA/rGO-MB/GCE-based immunosensor enables specific binding with IL-6 and produces a decreased electrochemical signal for MB, realizing the selective and sensitive quantitative measurement of IL-6. Consequently, our fabricated PDA/rGO-MB/GCE-based electrochemical immunosensor has an excellent linear relationship with IL-6 ranging from 1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL, with a limit of detection as low as 0.48 pg/mL.

As a consequence, very few KLK2 inhibitors have advanced to clinical trials because of issues with specificity and selectivity. Moreover, the precise mechanisms underlying KLK2's interactions with small molecule inhibitors remain inadequately understood. This study used structure-based virtual screening of a phytochemical library and found three compounds, Phaseolin, Withaphysalin D, and Nicandrenone, as potential KLK2 inhibitors.

Their binding was further validated through MM-PBSA free energy calculations, which confirmed energetically favorable interactions with KLK2. The findings suggest that these phytochemicals have a high potential to be exploited as novel KLK2 inhibitors with improved efficacy.
