A high-efficiency and selective fluorescent assay for the detection of tetracyclines.

ABSTRACT: Tetracyclines (TCs) rank second globally in the use of animal infection therapy and animal husbandry as growth promoters among all antibiotics. However, large amounts of TCs residue in food products and more than 75% of TCs are excreted into the environment, causing adverse effects on the ecological system and human health. It has been challenging to simultaneously realize low-cost, rapid, and highly selective detection of TCs. Here, inspired by the fluorogenic reactions between resorcinol and catecholamines, we find the fluorescence quenching ability of tetracycline (TC) and firstly propose a fluorescent "turn-off" detection of TC using dopamine and 4-fluororesorcinol. The optimal reaction condition for the fluorescent assay is investigated and the optimized probe showed a good limit of d
