Facile One-Step Electrodeposition Preparation of Cationic Pillar[6]arene-Modified Graphene Films on Glassy Carbon Electrodes for Enhanced Electrochemical Performance.

ABSTRACT: In the present work, we have developed a facile one-step route for preparing electrochemically reduced graphene oxide-cationic pillar[6]arene (ErGO-CP6) nanocomposite films on glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) directly from graphene oxide-cationic pillar[6]arene (GO-CP6) colloidal solution by using a pulsed electrodeposition technique. The electrocatalytic activity of ErGO-CP6 was examined by studying the oxidations of five purine bases [adenine (A), guanine (G), xanthine (X), hypoxanthine (HX), and uric acid (UA)]. It enhanced the oxidation currents of A, G, X, HX, and UA when compared to unmodified ErGO films and bare GCE, which is considered to be the synergetic effects of the graphene (excellent electrical properties and large surface area) and CP6 molecules (high inclusion complexation and enrichment capability).

Supramolecular exfoliation of layer silicate clay by novel cationic pillar[5]arene intercalants.

Project description:Clays are multi-layered inorganic materials that can be used to prepare nanocomposite fillers. Because the multi-layered structure is thermodynamically stable, it is difficult to change a multi-layered material into single layers to improve its dispersity. Previously, clays were modified with dodecylammonium cations to promote complexation with nylon 6, nylon 66, polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, and polycaprolactone to increase the mechanical strength (and/or thermal stability) of the composite material; however, complete exfoliation could not be achieved in these composites. In this study, pillar[5]arenes are synthesized and functionalized with ten cationic substituents as novel intercalants for modifying bentonite clay, which is a multi-layered metal-cation-containing silicate. The pillar[5]arenes exfoliate the clay by forming polyrotaxanes with poly(ethylene glycol) through host-guest interactions.

pH-Responsive Host⁻Guest Complexation in Pillar[6]arene-Containing Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Films.

Project description:A water-soluble, anionic pillar[6]arene derivative (WP6) is applied as monomeric building block for the layer-by-layer self-assembly of thin polyelectrolyte multilayer films, and its pH-dependent host⁻guest properties are employed for the reversible binding and release of a methylviologen guest molecule. The alternating assembly of anionic WP6 and cationic diazo resin (DAR) is monitored in-situ by a dissipative quartz crystal microbalance (QCM-D). In solution, the formation of a stoichiometric inclusion complex of WP6 and cationic methylviologen (MV) as guest molecule is investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively, and attributed to electrostatic interactions as primary driving force of the host⁻guest complexation. Exposure of WP6-containing multilayers to MV solution reveals a significant decrease of the resonance frequency, confirming MV binding. Subsequent release is achieved by pH lowering, decreasing the host⁻guest interactions. The dissociation of the host⁻guest complex, release of the guest from the film, as well as full reversibility of the binding event are identified by QCM-D. In addition, UV-vis data quantify the surface coverage of the guest molecule in the film after loading and release, respectively. These findings establish the pH-responsiveness of WP6 as a novel external stimulus for the reversible guest molecule recognition in thin films.

Electrochemical Characterization of Modified Glassy Carbon Electrodes for Non-Enzymatic Glucose Sensors.

Project description:The diversity of materials proposed for non-enzymatic glucose detection and the lack of standardized protocols for assessing sensor performance have caused considerable confusion in the field. Therefore, methods for pre-evaluation of working electrodes, which will enable their conscious design, are currently intensively sought. Our approach involved comprehensive morphologic and structural characterization of copper sulfides as well as drop-casted suspensions based on three different polymers-cationic chitosan, anionic Nafion, and nonionic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). For this purpose, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy were applied. Subsequently, comparative studies of electrochemical properties of bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE), polymer- and copper sulfides/polymer-modified GCEs were performed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and voltammetry. The results from EIS provided an explanation for the enhanced analytical performance of Cu-PVP/GCE over chitosan- and Nafion-based electrodes. Moreover, it was found that the pH of the electrolyte significantly affects the electrocatalytic behavior of copper sulfides, indicating the importance of OHads in the detection mechanism. Additionally, diffusion was denoted as a limiting step in the irreversible electrooxidation process that occurs in the proposed system.

Cationic Pillar[6]arene Induces Cell Apoptosis by Inhibiting Protein Tyrosine Phosphorylation Via Host-Guest Recognition.

Project description:We reported for the first time that cationic pillar[6]arene (cPA6) could tightly bind to peptide polymer (MW~20-50 kDa), an artificial substrate for tyrosine (Tyr) phosphorylation, and efficiently inhibit Tyr protein phosphorylation through host-guest recognition. We synthesized a nanocomposite of black phosphorus nanosheets loaded with cPA6 (BPNS@cPA6) to explore the effect of cPA6 on cells. BPNS@cPA6 was able to enter HepG2 cells, induced apoptosis, and inhibited cell proliferation by reducing the level of Tyr phosphorylation. Furthermore, BPNS@cPA6 showed a stronger ability of inhibiting cell proliferation in tumor cells than in normal cells. Our results revealed the supramolecular modulation of enzymatic Tyr phosphorylation by the host-guest recognition of cPA6.

A pH-Responsive Supramolecular Drug Delivery System Constructed by Cationic Pillar[5]arene for Enhancing Antitumor Activity.

Project description:Drug delivery systems have good biocompatibiliy and low side effects for cancer treatment, but overcoming high efficiency of drug-loading and the drug-targeting controlled release still remains challenging. In this work, supramolecular vesicles, with pH-triggering effect, have been successfully constructed for drug delivery, which are fabricated by the complexation between a cationic pillar[5]arene (DAWP5) and a sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) in aqueous solution. Drug-loading and releasing results demonstrated that anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) could be loaded efficiently by such cationic vesicles in neutral condition, and the drug release could be controlled in the simulated weak acid environment of tumor cells. Moreover, the vesicles had low cytotoxicity to normal human cell (L02), while the DOX-loaded vesicles could significantly enhance the cytotoxicity of free DOX for normal cell L02 and four tested tumor cells (Hela, HepG2, MGC-803 and T24). Especially for HepG2, after 24 h incubation time, IC50 of DOX-loaded vesicles was only 0.79 μM, about 23% of that of DOX (3.43 μM). These results suggested that such novel vesicles have promising potential to construct nano-drug delivery systems for various biomedical applications.

Preparation and Characterization of Cationic Water-Soluble Pillar[5]arene-Modified Zeolite for Adsorption of Methyl Orange.

Project description:A novel quaternary cationic pillar[5]arene-modified zeolite (WPA5/zeolite) was prepared via charge interaction between the cationic WPA5 and natural zeolite and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The effects of zeolite particle size, WPA5 concentration, adsorption time, initial concentration, and pH on the removal of methyl orange (MO) were studied. The SEM and XRD results revealed a strong interaction between WPA5 and natural zeolite, and the modified composites showed novel microscopic morphology and structural properties. TG analysis indicated excellent thermal stability of the composite. MO was removed via electrostatic adsorption, and the removal efficiency was 84% at an initial concentration of 100 mg/L. Increase in the initial dye concentration enhanced the adsorption capacity of WPA5/zeolite and decreased the removal of MO. Based on the adsorption kinetics, the pseudo-second-order model (R 2 = 0.998) described the kinetic behavior of MO on WPA5/zeolite. In addition, UV and fluorescence spectra revealed that MO and WPA5 are complexed by a 1:1 complex ratio, and the binding constant between them was 12 595 L·mol-1. NMR and molecular docking also verified their interaction. Therefore, the potential application of the prepared composite includes removal of organic anionic dyes.

Novel Competitive Fluorescence Sensing Platform for L-carnitine Based on Cationic Pillar[5]Arene Modified Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:Supramolecular host-guest interaction and sensing between cationic pillar[5]arenes (CP5) and L-carnitine were developed by the competitive host-guest recognition for the first time. The fluorescence sensing platform was constructed by CP5 functionalized Au nanoparticles (CP5@Au-NPs) as receptor and probe (rhodamine 123, R123), which shown high sensitivity and selectivity for L-carnitine detection. Due to the negative charge and molecular size properties of L-carnitine, it can be highly captured by the CP5 via electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic interactions. The host-guest mechanism between PP5 and L-carnitine was studied by ¹H NMR and molecular docking, indicating that more affinity binding force of CP5 with L-carnitine. Therefore, a selective and sensitive fluorescent method was developed. It has a linear response of 0.1⁻2.0 and 2.0⁻25.0 μM and a detection limit of 0.067 μM (S/N = 3). The fluorescent sensing platform was also used to detect L-carnitine in human serum and milk samples, which provided potential applications for the detection of drugs abuse and had path for guarding a serious food safety issues.

Electrochemical Determination of Hazardous Herbicide Diuron Using MWCNTs-CS@NGQDs Composite-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrodes.

Project description:Diuron (DU) abuse in weed removal and shipping pollution prevention always leads to pesticide residues and poses a risk to human health. In the current research, an innovative electrochemical sensor for DU detection was created using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) that had been modified with chitosan-encapsulated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-CS) combined with nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs). The NGQDs were prepared by high-temperature pyrolysis, and the MWCNTs-CS@NGQDs composite was further prepared by ultrasonic assembly. TEM, UV-Vis, and zeta potential tests were performed to investigate the morphology and properties of MWCNTs-CS@NGQDs. CV and EIS measurements revealed that the assembly of MWCNTs and CS improved the electron transfer ability and effective active area of MWCNTs. Moreover, the introduction of NGQDs further enhanced the detection sensitivity of the designed sensor. The MWCNTs-CS@NGQDs/GCE electrochemical sensor exhibited a wide linear range (0.08~12 μg mL-1), a low limit of detection (0.04 μg mL-1), and high sensitivity (31.62 μA (μg mL-1)-1 cm-2) for DU detection. Furthermore, the sensor demonstrated good anti-interference performance, reproducibility, and stability. This approach has been effectively employed to determine DU in actual samples, with recovery ranges of 99.4~104% in river water and 90.0~94.6% in soil. The developed electrochemical sensor is a useful tool to detect DU, which is expected to provide a convenient and easy analytical technique for the determination of various bioactive species.

Cationic pillar[6]arene/ATP host-guest recognition: selectivity, inhibition of ATP hydrolysis, and application in multidrug resistance treatment.

Project description:Due to the differences in the cavity size of the hosts and the charge and length of the guests, a cationic water-soluble pillar[6]arene (WP6) selectively complexes with ATP to form a stable 1 : 1 inclusion complex WP6⊃ATP. This host-guest complexation was utilized to efficiently inhibit the hydrolysis of ATP, arising from the existence of the hydrophobic cavity of WP6. A folic acid functionalized diblock copolymer (FA-PEG-b-PAA) was employed to PEGylate WP6 to endow the polyion complex (PIC) micelles with specific targeting ability, preferentially delivering WP6 to folate receptor over-expressing KB cell. This host-guest complexation was further used to block the efflux pump to transport anticancer drugs out of cells by cutting off the energy source, which enhanced the efficacy of the cancer chemotherapy of DOX·HCl towards drug resistant MCF-7/ADR cell. This supramolecular method provides an extremely distinct strategy to potentially overcome multidrug resistance (MDR).
