A novel SERS substrate of MIL-100(Fe)/AgNFs was firstly prepared for sensitive and selective detection of ascorbic acid (L-AA), with a LOD of 10<sup>-11</sup> M. A spectral decrease of MIL-100(Fe)/AgNFs towards L-AA solution thanks to the efficient capture and reduction of Fe<sup>3+</sup> in MIL-100(Fe) constituted the assay, which was demonstrated to function well in food samples and in cellular media for L-AA sensing. ...[more]

Project description:Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an important and powerful analytical technique in chemical and biochemical analyses. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can effectively capture volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with high adsorption capacity and fast kinetics, and the local surface plasmon resonance characteristics of gold nanoparticles can quickly and effectively distinguish different VOCs by SERS. Combining both, we designed a novel SERS substrate based on embedding gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) within MIL-101(Cr) for the recognition of various VOCs in the gaseous phase. Occupying of AuNPs inside MIL-101(Cr) increased the micropore-specific surface area of AuNPs@MIL-101(Cr), which enabled AuNPs@MIL-101(Cr) to absorb more toluene molecules and consequently realized its high detection sensitivity. The detection limits for toluene, 4-ethylbenzaldehyde, and formaldehyde were down to 6, 5, and 75, ppm respectively. Moreover, this substrate could be used for detecting different VOCs simultaneously. Finally, we discussed the enhancement of AuNPs outside and inside MIL-101(Cr) on the Raman signal.

Project description:The present study reports the synthesis of a porous Fe-based MOF named MIL-100(Fe) by a modified hydrothermal method without the HF process. The synthesis gave a high surface area with the specific surface area calculated to be 2551 m2 g-1 and a pore volume of 1.407 cm3 g-1 with an average pore size of 1.103 nm. The synthesized electrocatalyst having a high surface area is demonstrated as an excellent electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction investigated in both acidic and alkaline media. As desired, the electrochemical results showed low Tafel slopes (53.59 and 56.65 mV dec-1), high exchange current densities (76.44 and 72.75 mA cm-2), low overpotentials (148.29 and 150.57 mV), and long-term stability in both media, respectively. The high activity is ascribed to the large surface area of the synthesized Fe-based metal-organic framework with porous nature.

Project description:The development of fast and non-invasive techniques to detect SARS-CoV-2 virus at the early stage of the infection would be highly desirable to control the COVID-19 outbreak. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials with uniform porous structures and tunable pore surfaces, which would be essential for the selective sensing of the specific COVID-19 biomarkers. However, the use of MOFs materials to detect COVID-19 biomarkers has not been demonstrated so far. In this work, for the first time, we employed the density functional theory calculations to investigate the specific interactions of MOFs and the targeted biomarkers, in which the interactions were confirmed by experiment. The five dominant COVID-19 biomarkers and common exhaled gases are comparatively studied by exposing them to MOFs, namely MIL-100(Al) and MIL-100(Fe). The adsorption mechanism, binding site, adsorption energy, recovery time, charge transfer, sensing response, and electronic structures are systematically investigated. We found that MIL-100(Fe) has a higher sensing performance than MIL-100(Al) in terms of sensitivity and selectivity. MIL-100(Fe) shows sensitive to COVID-19 biomarkers, namely 2-methylpent-2-enal and 2,4-octadiene with high sensing responses as 7.44 x 105 and 9 x 107 which are exceptionally higher than those of the common gases which are less than 6. The calculated recovery times of 0.19 and 1.84 x 10-4 s are short enough to be a resuable sensor. An experimental study also showed that the MIL-100(Fe) provides a sensitivity toward 2-methylpent-2-enal. In conclusion, we suggest that MIL-100(Fe) could be used as a potential sensor for the exhaled breath analysis. We hope that our research can aid in the development of a biosensor for quick and easy COVID-19 biomarker detection in order to control the current pandemic.

Project description:In this work, a metal-organic framework@covalent organic framework composite (TPN-COF@Fe-MIL-100) was prepared and used as a sensing material to construct an aptasensor for trace detection of tetracycline (TET). The TPN-COF@Fe-MIL-100 integrates a large surface area, porous structure, excellent electrochemical activity, rich chemical functionality, and strong bioaffinity for aptamers, providing abundant active sites to effectively anchor aptamer strands. As a result, the TPN-COF@Fe-MIL-100-based aptasensor shows high sensitivity for detecting TET via specific recognition between aptamer and TET to form G-quadruplex. An ultralow detection limit of 1.227 fg mL-1 is deduced from the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy within a wide linear range of 0.01-10000 pg mL-1 for TET. The TPN-COF@Fe-MIL-100-based aptasensor also exhibits good selectivity, reproducibility, stability, regenerability, and applicability for a real milk sample. Therefore, the TPN-COF@Fe-MIL-100-based aptasensor will be promising for detecting trace harmful antibiotics residues for food safety.

Project description:Due to their efficiency and accessibility, benzodiazepines are widely manufactured and consumed and as a result, they can be found in almost all wastewaters. Among the materials that were used for the removal of drug contaminants from wastewater, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) demonstrated unique properties. In this regard, a composite of carboxymethylated cellulose (CMC) and MIL-100(Fe) was prepared via a sonochemical method and used for the removal of lorazepam from wastewater in various conditions. A maximum capacity of 811 mg g-1 was achieved which is considered a great improvement compared to bare MIL-100(Fe) (150 mg g-1) and other previously reported adsorbents. It is noteworthy that the efficiency of the adsorbent did not reduce in the second and third cycle of adsorption/desorption. Moreover, the effect of pH, dose of adsorbent, isotherms and the kinetics of this process were studied using UV-vis and HPLC analyses and the adsorbents were fully characterized with PXRD, TGA, BET, SEM, ZP and FT-IR techniques. Our findings demonstrate that this composite is clearly a green, recyclable and efficient adsorbent for the removal of lorazepam and opens our way to further potential applications in the removal of other active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Project description:Nanoparticles of metal-organic frameworks (MOF NPs) are crystalline hybrid micro- or mesoporous nanomaterials that show great promise in biomedicine due to their significant drug loading ability and controlled release. Herein, we develop porous capsules from aggregate of nanoparticles of the iron carboxylate MIL-100(Fe) through a low-temperature spray-drying route. This enables the concomitant one-pot encapsulation of high loading of an antitumor drug, methotrexate, within the pores of the MOF NPs, and the collagenase enzyme (COL), inside the inter-particular mesoporous cavities, upon the formation of the capsule, enhancing tumor treatment. This association provides better control of the release of the active moieties, MTX and collagenase, in simulated body fluid conditions in comparison with the bare MOF NPs. In addition, the loaded MIL-100 capsules present, against the A-375 cancer cell line, selective toxicity nine times higher than for the normal HaCaT cells, suggesting that MTX@COL@MIL-100 capsules may have potential application in the selective treatment of cancer cells. We highlight that an appropriate level of collagenase activity remained after encapsulation using the spray dryer equipment. Therefore, this work describes a novel application of MOF-based capsules as a dual drug delivery system for cancer treatment.

Project description:Oxaliplatin (Oxa) is a commonly used chemotherapy drug in the treatment of gastric cancer, but its toxic side effects and drug resistance after long-term use have seriously limited its efficacy. Loading chemotherapy drugs with nanomaterials and delivering them to the tumor site are common ways to overcome the above problems. However, nanomaterials as carriers do not have therapeutic functions on their own, and the effect of single chemotherapy is relatively limited, so there is still room for progress in related research. Herein, we construct Oxa@Mil-100(Fe) nanocomposites by loading Oxa with a metal-organic framework (MOF) Mil-100(Fe) with high biocompatibility and a large specific surface area. The pore structure of Mil-100(Fe) is conducive to a large amount of Oxa loading with a drug-loading rate of up to 27.2%. Oxa@Mil-100(Fe) is responsive to the tumor microenvironment (TME) and can release Oxa and Fe3+ under external stimulation. On the one hand, Oxa can inhibit the synthesis of DNA and induce the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. On the other hand, Fe3+ can clear overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in TME and be reduced to Fe2+, inhibiting the activity of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), leading to the accumulation of intracellular lipid peroxides (LPO), and at the same time releasing a large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the Fenton reaction, inducing ferroptosis in gastric cancer cells. With the combination of apoptosis and ferroptosis, Oxa@Mil-100(Fe) shows a good therapeutic effect, and the killing effect on gastric cancer cells is obvious. In a nude mouse model of subcutaneous tumor transplantation, Oxa@Mil-100(Fe) shows a significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth, with an inhibition rate of nearly 60%. In addition to its excellent antitumor activity, Oxa@Mil-100(Fe) has no obvious toxic or side effects. This study provides a new idea and method for the combined treatment of gastric cancer.

Project description:Nanometric biocompatible Metal-Organic Frameworks (nanoMOFs) are promising candidates for drug delivery. Up to now, most studies have targeted the intravenous route, related to pain and severe complications; whereas nanoMOFs for oral administration, a commonly used non-invasive and simpler route, remains however unexplored. We propose here the biofriendly preparation of a suitable oral nanocarrier based on the benchmarked biocompatible mesoporous iron(III) trimesate nanoparticles coated with the bioadhesive polysaccharide chitosan (CS). This method does not hamper the textural/structural properties and the sorption/release abilities of the nanoMOFs upon surface engineering. The interaction between the CS and the nanoparticles has been characterized through a combination of high resolution soft X-ray absorption and computing simulation, while the positive impact of the coating on the colloidal and chemical stability under oral simulated conditions is here demonstrated. Finally, the intestinal barrier bypass capability and biocompatibility of CS-coated nanoMOF have been assessed in vitro, leading to an increased intestinal permeability with respect to the non-coated material, maintaining an optimal biocompatibility. In conclusion, the preservation of the interesting physicochemical features of the CS-coated nanoMOF and their adapted colloidal stability and progressive biodegradation, together with their improved intestinal barrier bypass, make these nanoparticles a promising oral nanocarrier.

Project description:MIL-100(Fe, Cr) and MIL-101(Cr) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method and applied to the adsorptions of five aromatic amines from aqueous solutions. These three metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were well characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and surface area analysis. The adsorption mechanism of three MOFs and the effects of the structures of MOFs on the adsorption of aromatic amines were discussed. The results show that the cavity system and suitable hydrogen bond acceptor were important factors for the adsorption for five aromatic amines of aniline, 1-naphthalamine, o-toluidine, 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene and 2-nitroaniline: (a) the saturated adsorption capacity of aniline, 1-naphthylamine and o-toluidine on MIL-100(Fe) were 52.0, 53.4 and 49.6 mg/g, respectively, which can be attributed to the intermolecular hydrogen bond interaction and cavity system diffusion. (b) The adsorption capacity of 2-nitroaniline and 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene on MIL-101(Cr) were 54.3 and 25.0 mg/g, respectively, which can be attributed to the more suitable pore size of MIL-101(Cr) than that of MIL-100(Fe, Cr). The MOFs of MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-101(Cr) can be potential materials for removing aromatic amines from aqueous solutions.

Project description:Owing to the high sensitivity, fast responsiveness and high specificity, immunoassays using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) as the readout signal displayed great potential in disease diagnosis. In this study, we developed a SERS-immunoassay method for the detection of human immunoglobulin G (HIgG). Upon involving well-ordered AuA on a SERSIA substrate, the LSPR effect was further enhanced to generate a strong and uniform Raman signal through the formation of sandwich structure with the addition of target HIgG and SERSIA tag. Optimization of the assay provided a wide linear range (0.1-200 μg mL-1) and low limit of detection (0.1 μg mL-1). In addition, the SERS-immunoassay method displayed excellent specificity and was homogeneous, which guaranteed the practical use of this method in the quantitative detection of HIgG. To validate this assay, human serum was analysed, which demonstrated the potential advantages of SERS-immunoassay technology in clinical diagnostics.
