With the addition of ethanol to the Eu-TATAB nanorods, the structure was destroyed, resulting in a decrease in luminescence, electrochemiluminescence, and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometric signals by perturbing energy transfer in the Eu-TATAB nanorods. According to the degree of the decrease in three luminescence intensities, the ethanol content could be quantitatively detected. Based on this, the rapid detection of alcohol content in different types of spirits and alcoholic beverages was further realized.

The method includes the detection of camptothecin (CPT), which can be utilized as an internal standard for the quantitative assessment of both CPT-11 and SN-38 in mouse serum. The approach utilizes a plasmonic two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorus nanosheet (BPN)-gold nanomatrix (BP@Au) in LDI MS. The experimental results demonstrated that the BP@Au nanomatrix outperformed the standard organic matrices (SA, CHCA, and DHB) in detecting irinotecan and its active metabolite with improved specificity and sensitivity, crucial factors for applications in personalized medicine. Mass spectra obtained using organic matrices revealed interference from matrix peaks overlapping with analyte peaks. The coefficient of determination (<i>R</i>²) was 0.9806 for CPT-11 and 0.9932 for SN-38, indicating strong linearity suitable for quantification. Moreover, the method achieved a lower limit of detection (LOD) of 62.76 ng/mL for CPT-11 and 189.87 ng/mL for SN-38, significantly enhancing the detection sensitivity by approximately 2–8 times compared with previous matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) methodologies. This method was subsequently applied to the quantitative determination of analytes in mouse serum. The analyte recoveries for CPT-11 and SN-38 were 95.40% and 92.95%, respectively. Overall, this study offers potential insights and opens avenues for developing new nanomaterials as a MALDI nanomatrix, demonstrating enhanced capabilities for the rapid, specific, and sensitive detection of small biomolecules within the realms of analytical chemistry and personalized medicine.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":705,"journal":{"name":"Microchimica Acta","volume":"192 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142995595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nanoplatform exhibited pink fluorescence due to the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect of AuNCs and the internal filtration effect (IFE) between AuNCs and CDs. Upon reaction between NH₂OH·HCl and FA, a Schiff base formed via aldehyde-diamine condensation, releasing hydrochloric acid. The acid triggered the degradation of ZIF-8, releasing CDs and AuNCs, and thereby shifting the fluorescence to blue as the CDs disperse. The nanoplatform demonstrated high sensitivity (LOD of 0.26-2.19 μM), exceptional selectivity, and rapid response time (&lt;1 min) toward FA. Additionally, test strips and hydrogel films integrated with smartphones were prepared for on-site and visual detection of FA. The portable and smartphone-assisted test strips effectively detected indoor FA gas, while wearable and intelligent hydrogel films provided reliable surface measurements of FA on fruits and vegetables. Real sample analyses achieved satisfactory FA recoveries (99.06-115.30%) with relative standard deviations (RSD) from 1.86% to 3.81%.

This review article highlights the key features and components of MIL nanocarriers for the development and improvement of these nanocarriers for drug delivery. Surface coatings are one of the key components of MIL nanocarriers, which play the role of stabilizing the nanocarrier, pH-dependent drug release, increasing the half-life of the drug, and targeting the carrier. MIL nanocarriers have been synthesized mainly by thermal and hydrothermal methods due to their single-step nature and the ability to produce individual crystals with tunable sizes. According to the data available in the literature, MIL-53 and MIL-101 are the best MILs for drug delivery. These MILs have a high ability to release drugs under acidic conditions, indicating their high efficiency compared to other MILs. In addition to drugs, these nanocarriers can also carry fluorescent, photothermal, and photodynamic agents. These agents allow the MIL nanocarriers to benefit from the therapeutic potential of photothermal and photodynamic agents in addition to the therapeutic capacity of the drug. Furthermore, the fluorescent active ingredient gives these nanocarriers a further tracking capability in addition to the inherent tracking capability of MRI. Therefore, MIL nanocarriers as theranostic carriers have the potential to revolutionize both drug delivery and imaging.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":705,"journal":{"name":"Microchimica Acta","volume":"192 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142994332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
