Abstract: | A novel method for the determination of 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) has been developed based on fluorescence enhancement of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). The fluorescent AuNPs with mean diameter of ∼15 nm were synthesized in aqueous solution, exhibiting the stable maximum emission at 367 nm, under the excitation at wavelength of 264 nm. The AuNPs self-assembly with 6MP were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption, fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. The results revealed that the surface attachment through versatile binding sites of S10, N3, N9 and N7 atoms in 6MP produced the interparticle coupling and formed aggregates of AuNPs. As a result, the fluorescence emission enhancement was significantly observed upon AuNPs self-assembly with 6MP. The fluorimetric determination under optimal conditions indicated that 6MP could be quantified in good linearity range of 6.35 × 10−8 to 3.05 × 10−7 M, with a low detection limit of 4.82 × 10−10 M. The relative standard deviation (n = 11) was 1.8% at 2.54 × 10−8 M 6MP concentration level. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of 6MP in spiked human urine. The probable fluorescence enhancement mechanism was also discussed there. |
