Gly‐Gly‐His Immobilized On Monolayer Modified Back‐Side Contact Miniaturized Sensors for Complexation of Copper Ions

Miniaturized planar back‐side contact transducers (BSC) with chemically modified gold surface have been utilized as electrochemical sensors. The electrodes have been functionalized by sequential immobilization of aryl diazonium salts or alkanethiols and short peptide Gly‐Gly‐His. The applicability of gold substrates modified with aryl diazonium salts in voltammetric detection of copper(II) ions in aqueous solutions has been studied. The combination of two fundamental elements of the solid‐state electrode, i.e. back‐side contact (BSC) gold sensor and self‐assembled monolayers, allowed one to obtain reliable miniaturized copper(II) ion sensors. It can have important future applications in environmental sensing or in implantable biodevices.     

The Electrochemical Grafting of a Mixture of Substituted Phenyl Groups at a Glassy Carbon Electrode Surface

Two‐component substituted aryl groups are simultaneously grafted onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode by electrochemical reduction of a binary mixture of two aryl diazonium salts in acetonitrile. The electrochemical deposition is achieved potentiostatically and two different mixtures with four different ratios of diazonium salts are used. The binary mixtures comprise: 1) 4‐nitrophenyl diazonium and 4‐bromophenyl diazonium cations and 2) 4‐bromophenyl diazonium and N,N‐diethylaniline diazonium cations. The chemical composition of the two component films is determined by cyclic voltammetry in an electrolyte inert for electroactive groups such as nitrophenyl and bromophenyl. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy is also used to evaluate the surface concentration of each grafted substituted phenyl group. The surface concentration of the substituted phenyl group for which the corresponding diazonium cation is the most easily reduced is higher than its concentration in the mixture of the deposition solution. The usefulness of binary films is also discussed.     

A Comparative Study of the Modification of Gold and Glassy Carbon Surfaces with Mixed Layers of In Situ Generated Aryl Diazonium Compounds

In situ generated aryl diazonium cations were synthesized in the electrochemical cell by reaction of the corresponding amines with NaNO₂ in aqueous HCl. This paper reports a study of the formation of mixed layers from in situ generated aryl diazonium cations. Firstly, glassy carbon (GC) and gold electrode surfaces were modified with five single in situ generated aryl diazonium salts to obtain their corresponding reductive potential followed by the modification of GC and gold surfaces with eight binary mixed layers of in situ generated aryl diazonium salts. The difference between GC and gold surfaces in terms of in situ formation of two‐component aryl diazonium salt films was compared. The behavior of the mixed layers formed from in situ generated aryl diazonium salts relative to diazonium salts that were pre‐synthesized prior to surface modification was also investigated. Cyclic voltammetry and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the resulting modified GC and gold surfaces. It is found that for some aryl diazonium salts the potential at which reductive adsorption is achieved on gold and GC surfaces is significantly different. For the eight sets of binary mixed layers, the species with more anodic potential are more difficult to attach to the both GC and gold surfaces. The behavior of the mixed layers formed from in situ generated aryl diazonium salts and the pre‐synthesized diazonium salts is similar; which emphasizes the advantage of the in situ approach without any apparent difference in behavior to the presynthesized diazonium salts.     

Picomolar Detection of Melamine Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymer‐Based Electrochemical Sensors Prepared by UV‐Graft Photopolymerization

Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) films of melamine were prepared by photopolymerization of vinylic monomers on diazonium‐modified gold electrodes. The gold‐grafted MIPs are specific and selective for melamine in either organic or aqueous media. The interferent molecules cyromazine and cyanuric acid were not recognized by the MIPs. The limit of detection was as low as 1.75×10^?12 mol L^?1 at S/N=3. Efficiency of melamine rebinding is related to the solubility parameter of the organic solvent or pH and ionic strength of the aqueous medium. It is concluded that diazonium salts permit to design robust electrochemical MIP sensors.     

A New Multiresponsive Drug Delivery System using Smart Nanogels

This paper addresses the synthesis and characterization of a novel temperature‐ and pH‐responsive nanogel system based on poly(vinylcaprolactam‐co‐2‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) [P(VCL‐co‐DMAEMA)] by using a surfactant‐free emulsion polymerization procedure for the multiresponsive drug delivery of hydrophobic drugs. The effects of solvent, monomer, pH, and temperature were studied to tailor the average particle hydrodynamic diameters and the polydispersity index of the final particles. According to dynamic light‐scattering measurements, the obtained nanogels show a narrow particle‐size distribution and their hydrodynamic diameters can be varied from 81 to 368 nm. The nanogels display a re‐entrant phase‐transition state, and the equilibrium volume swelling ratio of the nanogels decreases drastically down to 47 °C and then increases up to 65 °C. In addition, the nanogels show pH‐dependent behavior. They exhibit a maximum size at pH 5.0. Rhodamine B (RhB) was chosen as a model compound for drug loading and release studies from P(VCL‐co‐DMAEMA) on the basis of particles in different phosphate buffer solutions at different temperatures. The temperature/pH‐dependent cumulative release and ultrasound‐enhanced pulsatile release properties were investigated for RhB‐loaded nanogels for long‐term and one‐shot delivery. The nanogels display efficient delivery for both long‐term and one‐shot delivery systems. We provide here a proof of concept for the novel use of multiresponsive nanogels having an overall size below 200 nm as a cargo system for hydrophobic drugs and for controlled release mediated by temperature/pH and ultrasound.     

Ionic‐liquid‐assisted desorption of DNA from polyamidoamine‐grafted silica nanoparticles surface by a low‐salt solution

We studied the influences of imidazolium‐based ionic liquids as additives in low ionic strength phosphate solution on releasing DNA from polyamidoamine dendrimer‐grafted silica nanoparticle surfaces. The effects of the side‐chain length of the imidazolium group, the anion and the concentration of the ionic liquid, the generation of the dendrimer, and the pH and the concentration of the release solution were investigated. It was found that addition of 4 mM 1‐hexyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide to 5 mM phosphate at pH 11 could markedly promote the desorption of DNA fragments, with a desorption efficiency of 99.0%. Compared with the conventional strategies employing high‐salt solutions or elevated temperature for acceptable recoveries, the method described here enabled quick release of DNA fragments that permitted direct, accurate analysis, and further treatment without desalting.     

Electrocatalytic Reduction of Oxygen at Glassy Carbon Electrodes Coated with Diazonium‐derived Porphyrin/Metalloporphyrin Films

In this study, the influence of the film structure was investigated on the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction at GC electrodes covered with porphyrin and metalloporphyrin rings via the diazonium modification method. For that purpose, primarily, tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) films on GC electrode surfaces were prepared by electroreduction of in situ generated diazonium salts of 5‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐10,15,20‐triphenylporphyrin (APP) and 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(4‐aminophenyl)porphyrin (TAPP) molecules. Next, the formation of metalloporphyrin films on the modified surfaces was accomplished through the complexation reactions of surface porphyrin rings with metal ions in the salt solutions containing Mn(II), Fe(III) and Co(II) ions. The resulting porphyrin and metalloporphyrin layers were identified with XPS and ICP‐MS. The electrochemical barrier properties of the films on GC surfaces were examined by cyclic voltammetry in K₃Fe(CN)₆ aqueous solution. The electrocatalytic abilities of the resulting films were also investigated for the oxygen electrochemical reduction by employing cyclic voltammetry in PBS solutions saturated with oxygen. The results showed that the oxygen reduction potentials on modified GC electrodes were shifted to less negative potentials compared to that of bare GC electrode. Also, it was obtained that the oxygen reduction reaction was more effective on the GC electrodes modified with TPP rings by using TAPP molecules than those prepared by using APP molecules.     

Facile Fabrication of Nanorod‐Assembled Fluorine‐Substituted Hydroxyapatite (FHA) Microspheres

Nanorod‐assembled FHA microspheres with different F contents were for the first time prepared through a facile one‐step hydrothermal method. The effect of the reaction time and pH value of reaction solutions on the FHA morphology was investigated to elucidate the self‐assembly process of FHA microspheres. The results showed pH values had significant effect on the morphology of the formed FHA crystals, which were self‐assembled into sphere‐like sturctures at high pH conditions and rod‐like structures at low pH values. The results suggested that formation of FHA crystals with varied morphology may be directly related to Ca²⁺ release kinetics from EDTA‐Ca‐Na₂ at different pH conditions. Furthermore, it was found that the chemical stability of FHA microspheres was dependent on the F content in the materials, and high F contents in FHA microspheres lead to improved chemical stability. These results suggest that the prepared self‐assembled FHA microspheres may be used for teeth substitution materials due to their unique hierarchical structures and controllable chemical stability.     

Electrochemically‐controlled DNA Release under Physiological Conditions from a Monolayer‐modified Electrode

An indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode prepared on a flexible polymeric support was modified with an amino‐silane and then functionalized with trigonelline and 4‐carboxyphenylboronic acid covalently bound to the amino groups. The trigonelline species containing quarterized ammonium group produced positive charge on the electrode surface regardless of the pH value, while the phenylboronic acid species were neutral below pH 8 and negatively charged above pH 9 (note that their pK_a=8.4). The total charge on the monolayer‐modified electrode was positive at the neutral pH and negative at pH>9 (note that 4‐carboxyphenylboronic acid was attached to the electrode surface in excess to trigonelline, thus allowing the negative charge to dominate on the electrode surface at basic pH). Single‐stranded DNA molecules were loaded on the modified electrode at pH 7.0 due to their electrostatic attraction to the positively charged surface. By applying electrolysis at −1.0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl reference) electrochemical oxygen reduction resulted in the consumption of hydrogen ions and local pH increase in the vicinity of the electrode surface. The process resulted in the transition to the total negative charge due to the negative charges formed on the phenylboronic acid species. This resulted in the electrostatic repulsion and release of the loaded DNA. The developed approach allowed the electrochemically‐triggered DNA release not only in the aqueous solutions, but also in human serum solution, thus giving promise for future biomedical applications.     

Hydrogen‐Bonded Complexes and Blends of Poly(acrylic acid) and Methylcellulose: Nanoparticles and Mucoadhesive Films for Ocular Delivery of Riboflavin

Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and methylcellulose (MC) are able to form hydrogen‐bonded interpolymer complexes (IPCs) in aqueous solutions. In this study, the complexation between PAA and MC is explored in dilute aqueous solutions under acidic conditions. The formation of stable nanoparticles is established, whose size and colloidal stability are greatly dependent on solution pH and polymers ratio in the mixture. Poly(acrylic acid) and methylcellulose are also used to prepare polymeric films by casting from aqueous solutions. It is established that uniform films can be prepared by casting from polymer mixture solutions at pH 3.4–4.5. At lower pHs (pH < 3.0) the films have inhomogeneous morphology resulting from strong interpolymer complexation and precipitation of polycomplexes, whereas at higher pHs (pH 8.3) the polymers form fully immiscible blends because of the lack of interpolymer hydrogen‐bonding. The PAA/MC films cast at pH 4 are shown to be non‐irritant to mucosal surfaces. These films provide a platform for ocular formulation of riboflavin, a drug used for corneal cross‐linking in the treatment of keratoconus. An in vitro release of riboflavin as well as an in vivo retention of the films on corneal surfaces can be controlled by adjusting PAA/MC ratio in the formulations.     

Phototriggered Release of a Leaving Group in Ketoprofen Derivatives via a Benzylic Carbanion Pathway,But not via a Biradical Pathway

2‐Acetoxymethyl‐2‐(3‐benzoylphenyl)propionic acid (KP‐OAc) was used as a model to elucidate the solvent‐mediated photochemistry mechanism of Ketoprofen (KP). In solutions with a low concentration of water, KP‐OAc exhibits a benzophenone‐like photochemistry, reacting with water molecules through some reaction to form a ketyl radical intermediate. In neutral solutions with a high concentration of water or acidic solutions, KP‐OAc undergoes a photodecarboxylation reaction with the assistance of water molecules or with the catalysis of perchloric acid to directly generate a biradical intermediate that cannot induce the phototrigger reaction to release the AcO^? group. Therefore, the lifetime of the biradical intermediate of KP‐OAc is almost same as that of the biradical intermediate formed from KP in the same kinds of solutions. However, the photodecarboxylation of KP‐OAc in phosphate buffer solution directly produces the benzylic carbanion intermediate, which can induce the phototrigger reaction to release the AcO^? group. Therefore, the lifetime of the biradical intermediate of KP‐OAc is significantly shorter than the lifetime of the biradical intermediate of KP in phosphate buffer solution. Interestingly, the investigation of the photochemistry of KP‐OAc not only verifies the solvent‐mediated photochemistry mechanism of KP but also provides some new insight into the potential of using this kind of platform for phototrigger applications. The biradical intermediate is not the key species leading to the phototrigger reaction but the benzylic carbanion species is the key reactive intermediate that can mediate the phototrigger reaction of KP‐OAc. Therefore, a change in the pH of the solutions can be utilized to switch on and switch off the photorelease reactions of KP derivative phototrigger compounds.     

Hydrolysis of Diazonium Salts Using a Two‐Phase System (CPME and Water)

A new method for the hydrolysis of diazonium salts, without the formation of tar, was developed. A two‐phase system consisting of cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) and water is very effective for the hydrolysis of diazonium salts. Using this solvent system, the diazonium salt prepared from 3‐(4‐nitrophenoxy)aniline gave 3‐(4‐nitrophenoxy)phenol in high yield (96%) within 20 min. The synthesized phenol is an industrially important raw material in polymer syntheses. Furthermore, the use of the present two‐phase system of CPME and water successfully brought about the efficient conversions of several m‐substituted anilines into the corresponding m‐substituted phenols. This is the first example of hydrolysis of diazonium salts using the two‐phase system (CPME and water).     

The Synthesis,X‐ray Structure Analysis,and Photophysical Characterization of 4‐[(E)‐2‐(4‐Carboxyphenyl)diazenyl]‐morpholine

4‐[(E)‐2‐(4‐Carboxyphenyl)diazenyl]‐morpholine ( 1 ) was prepared in 33% yield from a coupling reaction between morpholine and the diazonium ion formed from 4‐aminobenzoic acid. X‐ray structural analysis of 1 yielded two important insights into its structure: the geometry of the N―N double bond and the partial delocalization across the linear triazene moiety. The absorption spectra of 1 in dilute acetonitrile and 2‐methyltetrahydrofuran solutions both featured an intense (ε ≈ 20,000 M^?1cm^?1) band centered at 320–324 nm that was assigned as a mixture of π → π* and n → π* transitions. Emission was observed at 383 and 379 nm from dilute acetonitrile and 2‐methyltetrahydrofuran solutions of 1 , respectively, with the latter being red‐shifted to 439 nm at 77 K. Emission lifetime data for compound 1 provided evidence that the emission was a mixture of two excited state transitions.     

Diazonium Salts as Grafting Agents and Efficient Radical‐Hydrosilylation Initiators for Freestanding Photoluminescent Silicon Nanocrystals

The reactivity of diazonium salts towards freestanding, photoluminescent silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) is reported. It was found that SiNCs can be functionalized with aryl groups by direct reductive grafting of the diazonium salts. Furthermore, diazonium salts are efficient radical initiators for SiNC hydrosilylation. For this purpose, novel electron‐deficient diazonium salts, highly soluble in nonpolar solvents were synthesized. The SiNCs were functionalized with a variety of alkenes and alkynes at room temperature with short reaction times.     

Novel Amperometric Hydrogen Peroxide Biosensor Based on Horseradish Peroxidase Azide Covalently Immobilized on Ethynyl‐Modified Screen‐Printed Carbon Electrode via Click Chemistry

A novel, simple and versatile protocol for covalent immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on screen‐printed carbon electrode (SPCE) based on the combination of diazonium salt electrografting and click chemistry has been successfully developed. The ethynyl‐terminated monolayers are obtained by diazonium salt electrografting, then, in the presence of copper (I) catalyst, the ethynyl modified surfaces reacted efficiently and rapidly with horseradish peroxidase bearing an azide function (azido‐HRP), thus forming a covalent 1,2,3‐triazole linkage by means of click chemistry. All the experimental results suggested that HRP was immobilized onto the electrode surface successfully without denaturation. Furthermore, the immobilized HRP showed a fast electrocatalytic reduction for H₂O₂. A linear range from 5.0 to 50.0 µM in a phosphate buffer (pH 5.5) with detection limit of 0.50 µM and sensitivity of 0.23 nA/µM were obtained. The heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant K_ct was 1.52±0.22 s^?1 and the apparent Michaelis? Menten constant was calculated to be 0.028 mM. The HRP‐functionalized electrode demonstrated a good reproducibility and long‐term stability.     

Synthesis,characterization, and drug release behaviors of a novel thermo‐sensitive poly(N‐acryloylglycinates)

In this study, a novel thermo‐sensitive poly(N‐acryloylglycinates) was prepared in order to get a potential drug release carrier. The corresponding monomers and the polymers were characterized with Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) and ¹H NMR. The thermo‐sensitivity of the poly(N‐acryloylglycinates) was evaluated by measuring their lower critical solution temperatures (LCST) in water, inorganic salt solution, and different pH solutions. The results indicated that poly(N‐acryloylglycine methyl ester) (NAGME) and poly(N‐acryloylglycine ethyl ester) (NAGEE) exhibit a reversible thermo‐sensibility in their aqueous solutions at 61.5 and 12.5°C, respectively. However, no thermo‐sensitive behavior of poly(N‐acryloylglycine propyl ester) (NAGPE) was found due to its over hydrophobicity. The swelling studies on hydrogels were carried out at different temperatures, in different pH, and inorganic salt solutions. The hydrogels showed a remarkable phase transition at about 35°C with changing temperature. The release rate of caffeine from the thermo‐sensitive hydrogel was apparently decreased as the crosslinker content increased and temperature decreased. Seventy five percent caffeine from the polymeric hydrogel with 5% NMBA (N, N‐methylenebis(acrylamide)) was released at room temperature within 240 min, whereas 95.4% caffeine diffused into the medium at 37°C.

Covalent Modification of Reduced Graphene Oxide by Means of Diazonium Chemistry and Use as a Drug‐Delivery System

Under acidic conditions, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was functionalized with p‐aminobenzoic acid, which formed the diazonium ions through the diazotization with a wet‐chemical method. Surfactants or stabilizers were not applied during the diazotization. After the functionalized rGO was treated through mild sonication in aqueous solution, these functionalized rGO sheets were less than two layers, which was determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging. The water solubility of functionalized rGO after the introduction of polyethyleneimine (PEI) was improved significantly; it was followed by covalent binding of folic acid (FA) molecules to the functionalized rGO to allow us to specifically target CBRH7919 cancer cells by using FA as a receptor. The loading and release behaviors of elsinochrome A (EA) and doxorubicin (DOX) on the functionalized rGO sheets were investigated. The EA loading ratio onto rGO‐C₆H₄‐CO‐NH‐PEI‐NH‐CO‐FA (abbreviated rGO‐PEI‐FA, the weight ratio of drug loaded onto rGO‐PEI‐FA) was approximately 45.56 %, and that of DOX was approximately 28.62 %. It was interesting that the drug release from rGO‐PEI‐FA was pH‐ and salt‐dependent. The results of cytotoxicity (3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and flow cytometry (FCM) assays, as well as cell morphology observations) clearly showed that the concentration of rGO‐PEI‐FA as the drug‐delivery composite should be less than 12.5 mg L ^?1. The conjugation of DOX and rGO‐PEI‐FA can enhance the cancer‐cell apoptosis effectively and can also push the cancer cells to the vulnerable G2 phase of the cell cycle, which is most sensitive and susceptible to damage by drugs or radiation.     

Physicochemical characterization and drug release properties of PDMAEMA/OSA Semi‐IPN hydrogels with microporous structure

A new poly(2‐(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)/oxidized sodium alginate (PDMAEMA) semi‐interpenetrating network (Semi‐IPN) hydrogel with microporous structure was prepared by using PDMAEMA microgels as an additive during the polymerization/crosslinking process. The interior morphology characterized by scanning electron microscopy showed the Semi‐IPN hydrogels have different pore sizes by changing the amount of microgels. The hydrogels were also characterized by using Fourier transform infrared and DSC. The swelling behaviors of hydrogels indicated that the hydrogels have excellent pH and temperature sensitivity. Bovine serum albumin was entrapped in the hydrogels and the in vitro drug release profiles were established in different buffer solutions at various temperatures. The release behaviors of the model drug were dependent on the pore size of the hydrogels and environmental temperature/pH, which suggested that these materials have potential application as intelligent drug carriers.

Copper‐Promoted Sandmeyer Difluoromethylthiolation of Aryl and Heteroaryl Diazonium Salts

An efficient copper‐promoted difluoromethylthiolation of aryl and heteroaryl diazonium salts is described. The reaction is conducted under mild reaction conditions and various functional groups were compatible. In addition, reactions of heteroaryl diazonium salts such as pyridyl, quinolinyl, benzothiazolyl, thiophenyl, carbazolyl, and pyrazolyl diazonium salts occurred smoothly to afford the medicinally important difluoromethylthiolated heteroarenes. Furthermore, a more practical one‐pot direct diazotization and difluoromethylthiolation protocol was developed, and it converts the aniline derivatives into difluoromethylthiolated arenes. The utility of the method is demonstrated by difluoromethylthiolation of a number of natural products and drug molecules.
