As an important chiral molecule for the preparation of levofloxacin, the optical purity of L-aminopropanol has a crucial effect on the pharmacology and pharmacodynamics of levofloxacin. Therefore, it is of great significance to discriminate D-aminopropanol and L-aminopropanol. In this paper, an effective aminopropanol enantiomer recognition method was established on the basis of the chiral fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) probe. The chiral fluorescent SiNPs were fabricated via a one-step aqueous solution synthesis strategy, which avoided multiple steps, pressurizing operation, and time-consuming postmodified procedures. Significantly, D-aminopropanol could significantly enhance the fluorescence of the chiral SiNPs, while L-aminopropanol could not affect the fluorescence of the chiral SiNPs. This could have occurred because of the stronger interaction between the chiral SiNPs and D-aminopropanol than that of L-aminopropanol. Thus, the rapid and selective recognition of the aminopropanol enantiomer was ideally realized. The mechanism of the chiral SiNPs recognizing aminopropanol was simulated by density functional theory quantum mechanical calculations. Interestingly, this was also proved by the separation of aminopropanol enantiomer using this chiral SiNPs-modified silica column in normal phase liquid chromatography. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the chiral fluorescent SiNPs were synthesized and used to detect the aminopropanol enantiomer successfully. This work will inspire additional syntheses of chiral silicon nanomaterials and other nanomaterials with excellent properties and will enable application of chiral nanomaterials to other fields.

“…The hexagonal shaped-CoOOH nanosheets with a strong wide-band absorption from 350 to 700 nm (Figures S10–S14) were employed as a promising dual-functional carrier and quencher for constructing nanocomposites. − Through electrostatic force, CDs were self-assembled on the surface of CoOOH nanosheets to fabricate the CDs/CoOOH composite. Carefully observing, crystalline lattice fringes of CDs (0.21 nm) and CoOOH nanosheets (0.27 nm) simultaneously existed in the CDs/CoOOH composite (Figure A,B).…”

On-site quantitative analysis of pesticide is of significant importance for addressing serious public health issues in clinical, food, and environmental settings. Herein, we designed a novel smartphone-assisted sensing platform for on-site monitoring of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) based on carbon dots/cobalt oxyhydroxide nanosheet (CDs/CoOOH) composite. In this work, a red emissive CDs/CoOOH composite was proposed as a signal indicator for shielding background interference, enhancing anti-interference capability. 2,4-D as an inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase could specifically suppress the production of ascorbic acid, which restrained in situ etching of the CDs/CoOOH composite and further triggered the fluorescence response of the biosensor. By employing a lab-on-smartphone based device and self-designed application software, the fluorescence image was directly captured and analyzed with a sensitive detection limit of 100 μg L–1 for 2,4-D. Merging the CDs/CoOOH composite-based fluorometric system with the smartphone-assisted optical reader, such a cost-effective and portable platform provided a new sight for on-site monitoring of pesticide and expanded application prospect in the field of biological analysis.

“…Traditional analytical methods for detecting α-glucosidase activity include chromatographic [ 11 , 12 ], fluorescence [ 13 , 14 ], and colorimetric [ 15 , 16 ] methods, which usually suffer from the disadvantages of time and reagent consuming, requiring professional operators and expensive instruments. Although they are commonly applied in many studies, they are not feasible for point-of-care testing (POCT) and hinder their general application in resource restrained areas.…”

Personal Glucose Meter for α-Glucosidase Inhibitor Screening Based on the Hydrolysis of Maltose

As a key enzyme regulating postprandial blood glucose, α-Glucosidase is considered to be an effective target for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. In this study, a simple, rapid, and effective method for enzyme inhibitors screening assay was established based on α-glucosidase catalyzes reactions in a personal glucose meter (PGM). α-glucosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose to produce glucose, which triggers the reduction of ferricyanide (K3[Fe(CN)6]) to ferrocyanide (K4[Fe(CN)6]) and generates the PGM detectable signals. When the α-glucosidase inhibitor (such as acarbose) is added, the yield of glucose and the readout of PGM decreased accordingly. This method can achieve the direct determination of α-glucosidase activity by the PGM as simple as the blood glucose tests. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the developed method was applied to evaluate the inhibitory activity of thirty-four small-molecule compounds and eighteen medicinal plants extracts on α-glucosidase. The results exhibit that lithospermic acid (52.5 ± 3.0%) and protocatechualdehyde (36.8 ± 2.8%) have higher inhibitory activity than that of positive control acarbose (31.5 ± 2.5%) at the same final concentration of 5.0 mM. Besides, the lemon extract has a good inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase with a percentage of inhibition of 43.3 ± 3.5%. Finally, the binding sites and modes of four active small-molecule compounds to α-glucosidase were investigated by molecular docking analysis. These results indicate that the PGM method is feasible to screening inhibitors from natural products with simple and rapid operations.
