Boronic Acid Functionalized Nanosilica for Binding Guest Molecules.

ABSTRACT: Dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) has very high surface area and well-defined nanochannels; therefore, it is very useful as supporting material for numerous applications including catalysis, sensing, and bioseparation. Due to the highly restricted space, addition of molecular ligands to DFNS is very challenging. This work studies how ligand conjugation in nanoscale pores in DFNS can be achieved through copper-catalyzed click reaction, using an optional, in situ synthesized, temperature-responsive polymer intermediate. A clickable boronic acid is used as a model to investigate the ligand immobilization and the molecular binding characteristics of the functionalized DFNS. The morphology, composition, nanoscale pores, and specific surface area of the boronic acid functionalized nanosilica were characterized by electron microscopy, thermogravimetric and elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements. The numbers of boronic acid molecules on the modified DFNS with and without the polymer were determined to be 0.08 and 0.68 mmol of ligand/g of DFNS, respectively. We also studied the binding of small cis-diol molecules in the nanoscale pores of DFNS. The boronic acid modified DFNS with the polymer intermediate exhibits higher binding capacity for Alizarin Red S and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide than the polymer-free DFNS. The two types of boronic acid modified DFNS can bind small cis-diol molecules in the presence of large glycoproteins, due in large part to the effect of size exclusion provided by the nanochannels in the DFNS.

Electrochemistry of Redox-Active Guest Molecules at β-Cyclodextrin-Functionalized Silicon Electrodes.

Project description:Functionalization of silicon-based sensing devices with self-assembled receptor monolayers offers flexibility and specificity towards the requested analyte as well as the possibility of sensor reuse. As electrical sensor performance is determined by electron transfer, we functionalized H-terminated silicon substrates with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) molecules to investigate the electronic coupling between these host monolayers and the substrate. A trivalent (one ferrocene and two adamantyl moieties), redox-active guest was bound to the β-CD surface with a coverage of about 10-11 mol/cm2 and an overall binding constant of 1.5⋅109 M-1. This packing density of the host monolayers on silicon is lower than that for similar β-CD monolayers on gold. The monolayers were comparable on low-doped p-type and highly doped p++ substrates regarding their packing density and the extent of oxide formation. Nonetheless, the electron transfer was more favorable on p++ substrates, as shown by the lower values of the peak splitting and peak widths in the cyclic voltammograms. These results show that the electron-transfer rate on the host monolayers is not only determined by the composition of the monolayer, but also by the doping level of the substrate.

Facile synthesis of boronic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for efficient dopamine extraction.

Project description:Because dopamine (DA) is one of the most critical neurotransmitters that influence a wide variety of motivated human behaviors, it is necessary to develop a facile diagnostic tool that can quantify the physiological level. In this study, core-shell magnetic silica nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2) were prepared using a modified sol-gel reaction. The Fe3O4@SiO2 were functionalized using 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) via a facile and rapid synthetic route, hereafter referred to as Fe3O4@SiO2@APBA The resultant Fe3O4@SiO2@APBA not only adsorbed DA molecules, but also were easily separated from solution using a simple magnetic manipulation. The adsorbed amounts of DA by the Fe3O4@SiO2@APBA were quantified by measuring the changes in fluorescence intensity of polydopamine (at 463 nm) originated from the self-polymerized DA remained in the supernatant before and after the adsorption process. The Fe3O4@SiO2@APBA exhibited two-stage adsorption behavior for DA, and the maximal adsorption capacity was 108.46 μg/g at pH 8.5. Our particle system demonstrated the potential application for extracting compounds with cis-diols (including catechol amines) from the biological fluid.

Preparation of Boronic Acid-Functionalized Cryogels Using Modular and Clickable Building Blocks for Bacterial Separation.

Project description:Composite cryogels containing boronic acid ligands are synthesized for effective separation and isolation of bacteria. The large and interconnected pores in cryogels enable fast binding and release of microbial cells. To control bacterial binding, an alkyne-tagged boronic acid ligand is conjugated to azide-functionalized cryogel via the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The boronic acid-functionalized cryogel binds Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria through reversible boronate ester bonds, which can be controlled by pH and simple monosaccharides. To increase the capacity of affinity separation, a new approach is used to couple the alkyne-tagged phenylboronic acid to cryogel via an intermediate polymer layer that provides multiple immobilization sites. The morphology and chemical composition of the composite cryogel are characterized systematically. The capability of the composite cryogel for the separation of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria is investigated. The binding capacities of the composite cryogel for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis are 2.15 × 109 and 3.36 × 109 cfu/g, respectively. The bacterial binding of the composite cryogel can be controlled by adjusting pH. The results suggest that the composite cryogel may be used as affinity medium for rapid separation and isolation of bacteria from complex samples.

Silver Nanoparticles Functionalized Nanosilica Grown over Graphene Oxide for Enhancing Antibacterial Effect

Project description:The continuous growth of multidrug-resistant bacteria due to the overuse of antibiotics and antibacterial agents poses a threat to human health. Silver nanoparticles, silica-based materials, and graphene-based materials have become potential antibacterial candidates. In this study, we developed an effective method of enhancing the antibacterial property of graphene oxide (GO) by growing nanosilica (NS) of approximately 50 nm on the graphene oxide (GO) surface. The structures and compositions of the materials were characterized through powdered X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–VIS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Raman spectroscopy (RM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer–Emmet–Teller (BET) surface area, and pore size determination. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with an average diameter of 26 nm were functionalized on the nanosilica (NS) surface. The composite contained approximately 3% of silver nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles on nanosilica supported over graphene oxide (GO/NS/AgNPs) exhibited a 7-log reduction of Escherichia coli and a 5.2-log reduction of Bacillus subtilis within one hour of exposure. Both GO/NS and GO/NS/AgNPs exhibited substantial antimicrobial effects against E. coli and B. subtilis

Selective Recognition of d-Aldohexoses in Water by Boronic Acid-Functionalized, Molecularly Imprinted Cross-Linked Micelles.

Project description:Molecular imprinting within cross-linked micelles using 4-vinylphenylboronate derivatives of carbohydrates provided water-soluble nanoparticle receptors selective for the carbohydrate templates. Complete differentiation of d-aldohexoses could be achieved by these receptors if a single inversion of hydroxyl occurred at C2 or C4 of the sugar or if two or more inversions took place. Glycosides with a hydrophobic aglycan displayed stronger binding due to increased hydrophobic interactions.

A boronic acid-functionalized phthalocyanine with an aggregation-enhanced photodynamic effect for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Project description:Most existing photosensitizers (e.g., porphyrins) are often aggregated in aqueous solution because of their large conjugated molecular structures. This aggregation usually results in a lack or low levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation due to aggregation-caused quenching, which severely hampers the application of photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Herein, we make an interesting finding that a boronic acid-functionalized phthalocyanine (PcN4-BA) displays an uncommon phenomenon, an aggregation-enhanced photodynamic effect. The combination of the ability to form uniform nanostructured self-assemblies in water, highly efficient ROS generation and boronic acid-induced targeting give PcN4-BA excellent performances in antimicrobial PDT.

Direct discrimination of cell surface glycosylation signatures using a single pH-responsive boronic acid-functionalized polymer.

Project description:Cell surface glycans serve fundamental roles in many biological processes, including cell-cell interaction, pathogen infection, and cancer metastasis. Cancer cell surface have alternative glycosylation to healthy cells, making these changes useful hallmarks of cancer. However, the diversity of glycan structures makes glycosylation profiling very challenging, with glycan 'fingerprints' providing an important tool for assessing cell state. In this work, we utilized the pH-responsive differential binding of boronic acid (BA) moieties with cell surface glycans to generate a high-content six-channel BA-based sensor array that uses a single polymer to distinguish mammalian cell types. This sensing platform provided efficient discrimination of cancer cells and readily discriminated between Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) glycomutants, providing evidence that discrimination is glycan-driven. The BA-functionalized polymer sensor array is readily scalable, providing access to new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for cell surface glycosylation-associated diseases.

Switching of the solid-state guest selectivity: solvent-dependent selective guest inclusion in a crystalline macrocyclic boronic ester.

Project description:Selective inclusion of each of bicyclic and tricyclic aromatic guest molecules was realized utilizing the self-assembly of a crystalline benzothiadiazole-type macrocyclic boronic ester. The complete switching of the guest selectivity was achieved simply by changing the cosolvent used in the formation of the crystalline host-guest complexes. Both the association free energy of host-guest complexes and the stability of packing structure were found to play important roles for the determination of the guest selectivity in this system, and the critical role of solvent molecules in the crystalline state for the switching phenomena was clarified.

Host-Guest Systems on the Surface of Functionalized Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) Utilizing Hamilton Receptors and Cyanurate Derivative Molecules.

Project description:The study of hydrogen bonding interactions at the level of functionalized nanoparticles remains highly challenging and poorly explored area. In this work, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were orthogonally functionalized using receptors bearing multiple hydrogen bonding motifs. Pristine SPIONs were modified by wet chemical processes with Hamilton receptors (hosts), or cyanurate-guest molecules linked to phosphonic acid moieties for monolayer functionalization. The modified surfaces were fully characterized and the number of attached ligands on the surface were determined. The host-guest interactions on the interface of modified SPIONs were investigated by using UV-Vis spectroscopic titrations. Functionalized SPIONs demonstrated two to three magnitudes stronger binding affinities as compared to the related molecular interactions in solution due to synergistic effects on complex surface environment. Higher supramolecular binding ratios of host-guest interactions on the modified surface were emerged. These studies provide fundamental insights into supramolecular complexations on the surface at solid-liquid interface systems with applications in engineered nanomaterials, nano-sensing devices, and drug delivery systems.
