基于PbTiO3表面原位纳米酶的生物传感平台用于NF－κB p50检测

该文介绍了一种通过将K4Fe（CN）6配位到PbTiO3表面获得原位纳米酶的新策略。利用脱氧核糖核苷5''-单磷酸（dNMP）在PbTiO3表面的结合,阻止K4Fe（CN）6在PbTiO3表面原位形成纳米酶,构建了基于纳米酶的生物传感平台。当NF－κB p50存在时,dNMP难以产生,K4Fe（CN）6得以顺利结合到PbTiO3表面,并在其表面自发形成纳米酶,催化TMB氧化以定量检测NF－κB p50。实验表明,该方法对NF－κB p50的检测线性范围为3.0 pmol/L ~ 10 nmol/L,检出限（S/N = 3）为1.2 pmol/L,对实际样品的加标回收率为99.1% ~ 102%,相对标准偏差不大于5.3%。该方法为NF－κB p50的检测提供了一种无标记、无固定且具有信号放大作用的新策略,不仅灵敏度高、选择性好、操作简便,且在实际样品检测中具有潜在的应用价值。

An Iridium Complex as an AIE-active Photosensitizer for Image-guided Photodynamic Therapy

Image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) has received growing attention due to its non-invasiveness and precise controllability. However, the PDT efficiency of most photosensitizers are decreased in living system due to the aggregation-caused singlet oxygen (¹O₂) generation decreasing. Herein, we present an Iridium (III) pyridylpyrrole complex (Ir-1) featuring of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and ¹O₂ generation characteristics for image-guided PDT of cancer. Ir-1 aqueous solution exhibits bright red phosphorescence peaked at 630 nm, large Stokes shift of 227 nm, and good ¹O₂ generation ability. The ¹O₂ generating rate of Ir-1 in EtOH/water mixture solution is 2.3 times higher than that of Rose Bengal. In vitro experimental results revealed that Ir-1 has better biocompatibility and higher phototoxicity compared with clinically used photosensitizers (Rose Bengal and Ce6), suggesting that Ir-1 can serve as a photosensitizer for image-guided PDT of cancer.     

Simultaneous Determination of 1-Methyltryptophan and Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase Biomakers of Tryptophan and Kynurenine in Mice Tumors by HPLC–MS/MS

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an immune checkpoint protein, can cause the depletion of tryptophan (Trp) and accumulation of its metabolite of kynurenine (Kyn) in cancer cells, and generates the immunosuppressive microenvironment that supports tumor cell growth. A novel immunoregulatory prodrug micelle based on polyethylene glycol-derivatized an IDO-selective inhibitor of 1-methyltryptophan (1-MT), PEG-Fmoc-1-MT, was developed for inhibiting the IDO activity of the conversion of Trp to Kyn in tumor microenvironments. To investigate the 1-MT distribution and Trp/Kyn ratios in mice tumors with PEG-Fmoc-1-MT prodrug micelles treatment, a HPLC–MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of 1-MT and IDO biomakers of Trp and Kyn in mouse tumors was developed and validated. Triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry with positive electrospray ionization as source ionization in multiple reaction monitoring at m/z 219.0?→?160.1, 205.0?→?118.2, 209.0?→?146.1 and 249.3?→?148.3 was used for determination of 1-MT, Trp, Kyn and matrine (internal standard). The method demonstrated good linearity at the concentrations ranging from 10 to 10,000 ng/mL and lower limits of quantitation of 1 ng/mL for 1-MT, Trp and Kyn, respectively. The validated method was successfully applied to 1-MT tumor biodistribution and Trp/Kyn ratio studies in 4T1 tumor bearing mice i.v. with PEG-Fmoc-1-MT prodrug micelles. The mice tumors with PEG-Fmoc-1-MT prodrug micelles treatment exhibited higher 1-MT accumulation and lower Trp/Kyn ratio, in comparison with those of mice with 1-MT solution treatment. The developed PEG-Fmoc-1-MT prodrug micelles could be a promising IDO immunoregulatory prodrug micelles for cancer immunotherapy.

     

Implications of Nitrogen Doping on Geometrical and Electronic Structure of the Fullerene Dimers

Because of its unsaturated bonds, C₆₀ is susceptible to polymerize into dimers. The implications of nitrogen doping on the geometrical and electronic structure of C₆₀ dimers have been ambiguous for years. A quarter‐century after the discovery of azafullerene dimer (C₅₉N)₂, we reported its single crystallographic structure in 2019. Herein, the unambiguous crystal structure information of (C₅₉N)₂ is elucidated specifically, revealing that the inter‐cage C—C single bond length of (C₅₉N)₂ is comparable with that of an ordinary C(sp³)‐C(sp³) single bond, and that the most stable conformer of (C₅₉N)₂ is gauche‐conformer with a dihedral angle of 66°. To amend the structural deviations, geometrical structure of (C₅₉N)₂ is optimized by a B3LYP‐D3BJ function, which is proved to be more consistent with its single crystal structure than those by the commonly used B3LYP function. Moreover, the calculation method is also suitable for other representative fullerene dimers, such as (C₆₀)₂ and its divalent anion. Additionally, the dissociation of (C₅₉N)₂ at 473 K under mass spectrometric conditions suggests the inter‐cage C—C bond is relatively weaker than an ordinary C—C single bond, which can be explained by the interaction energies of inter‐cages.     

Visible light induced tandem reactions: An efficient one pot strategy for constructing quinazolinones using in-situ formed aldehydes under photocatalyst-free and room-temperature conditions

A facile tandem route has been developed for constructing quinazolinones from various aminobenzamides and in-situ generated aldehydes. Visible light was found to play a dual role: first oxidizes the alcohol to the aldehyde and then facilitates its cyclization with o-substituted aniline. Furthermore, alcohols are perfect alternatives to aldehydes because they are greener, more available, more economical, more stable, and less toxic than aldehydes. The first reaction step continuously provides material for the second step, which effectively reduces loss through volatilization, oxidation, and polymerization of the aldehyde, while avoiding its toxicity. A variety of quinazolinones can be prepared in the presence of visible light without any additional photocatalyst. The developed synthesis protocol proceeds with the merits of mild conditions, broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, and high atom efficiency, with an eco-energy source under metal-free, photocatalyst-free, and ambient conditions.     

Determination of Thermal History by Photoluminescence of Core‐Shelled Quantum Dots Going Through Heating Events

A kind of novel thermal history nanosensors are theoretically designed and experimentally demonstrated to permanently record thermal events. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of core‐shelled quantum dots (QDs) CdSe/ZnS irreversibly shifts with heating histories (temperature and duration) of thermal events. The induced PL shift of the QDs CdSe/ZnS is employed to permanently record thermal histories. We further model a kind of thermal history nanosensor based on the thermal‐induced phenomena of core‐shelled QDs to permanently record thermal histories at microscale and demonstrate to reconstruct temperature and duration of heating events simultaneously from PL spectra of the QDs. The physical mechanism of the sensors is discussed.
