Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of drug detection and provides a method for colorimetrically detecting amphetamine and methamphetamine in drugs based on furanyl probes. Background Art

[0002] Drug abuse poses a huge threat to personal physical and mental health, family harmony, and social stability. In actual drug production, trafficking, and abuse scenarios, its complex and changeable components and forms as well as its highly camouflaged appearance pose great challenges to on-site detection.

[0003] Typical amphetamine drugs, represented by amphetamine and methamphetamine, are highly addictive, mainly by preventing the release of dopamine inhibitors to produce euphoria. Their increasingly serious smuggling and abuse trends have made them the representatives of the second generation of synthetic drugs. Achieving highly sensitive, highly specific, and rapid on-site detection of amphetamine and methamphetamine is of great significance for strictly controlling their abuse, transportation, and sale, thereby effectively reducing related crimes.

[0004] Compared with other methods of on-site drug detection, such as chromatography-mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, ion mobility spectrometry, etc., colorimetric technology based on the selective interaction between recognition elements and target molecules to output visual signals has become one of the important solutions for on-site drug detection because of its many excellent characteristics such as intuitive results, adjustable structure, high specificity, fast response speed, and high device modularity.

[0005] The present invention develops a method for colorimetrically detecting amphetamine and methamphetamine in drugs based on furanyl probes. The method uses 1,3-indanedione, 1,3-bis(dicyanomethylidene)indane and 3-(dicyanomethylidene)indone as electron-withdrawing groups and furanyl as a recognition group to achieve a highly specific and highly sensitive rapid differentiation response to amphetamine and methamphetamine in the form of a detection reagent or a functionalized sponge group. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for colorimetric detection of amphetamine and methamphetamine in drugs based on a furyl probe. The furyl probes in this method use 1,3-indanedione, 1,3-bis(dicyanomethylene) indane, and 3-(dicyanomethylene) indole-2-one as electron-withdrawing groups and furyl as the recognition group, and are obtained through the Knoevenagel condensation reaction. Among them, the furyl probe with 1,3-indanedione as the electron-withdrawing group (furan-indanone) changes the solution color from light yellow to rose red before and after adding amphetamine or methamphetamine; the furyl probe with 1,3-bis(dicyanomethylene) indane as the electron-withdrawing group (furan-indanedinitrile) changes the solution color from brownish yellow to blue before and after adding amphetamine or methamphetamine; the furyl probe with 3-(dicyanomethylene) indole-2-one as the electron-withdrawing group (furan-indanonitrile) changes the solution color from yellow to orange after adding amphetamine and from yellow to green after adding methamphetamine; all three probes can achieve colorimetric responses to amphetamine and methamphetamine. Among them, the probe furan-indanonitrile can achieve colorimetric differentiation between amphetamine and methamphetamine. The different colorimetric responses are due to the differences in the aggregation states of different products. The reaction product of the probe furan-indanonitrile with amphetamine shows a more aggregated state compared to the reaction product of the probe furan-indanonitrile with methamphetamine, and thus shows a more blue-shifted absorption. Based on this innovative detection mechanism, the rapid colorimetric differentiation of amphetamine and methamphetamine and the qualitative detection of a mixture of amphetamine and methamphetamine are realized for the first time.

[0007] The method for colorimetric detection of amphetamine and methamphetamine in drugs based on a furyl probe according to the present invention is carried out according to the following steps:

[0025]

[0026] The present invention provides a method for colorimetric detection of amphetamine and methamphetamine in drugs based on a furyl probe. The detection principle of this method is that the primary / secondary amino group of the analyte amphetamine or methamphetamine attacks the double bond on the furyl group of the probe, thereby causing a ring-opening reaction, and the transformation of the probe to the molecular structure of the product corresponds to a color change.

[0027] The present invention provides a method for colorimetric detection of amphetamine and methamphetamine in drugs based on a furyl probe. The furyl probes in this method can all achieve colorimetric responses to the drugs amphetamine and methamphetamine. Among them, for the probe furan-indanone, the solution color changes from light yellow to rose red before and after adding amphetamine or methamphetamine; for the probe furan-indanedicarbonitrile, the solution color changes from brownish yellow to blue before and after adding amphetamine or methamphetamine; and for the probe furan-indanonitrile, the solution color changes from yellow to orange after adding amphetamine, and the solution color changes from yellow to green after adding methamphetamine. For the convenience of on-site actual detection applications, the probe furan-indanonitrile is loaded on a sponge substrate. After dropping an amphetamine solution, the color of the probe-functionalized sponge substrate changes from yellow to red, and after dropping a methamphetamine solution, the color of the probe-functionalized sponge substrate changes from yellow to green. Its detection is not interfered by other common drugs, amine substances, etc., and can achieve qualitative discrimination of a mixture of amphetamine and methamphetamine. The present invention has no special restrictions in use. At room temperature, the analyte does not need to be pretreated to quickly complete qualitative detection. The operation is simple, economical and practical, with high specificity and sensitivity, and the results are stable and repeatable. The above advantages make the present invention easy to be practically applied and promoted in the field of on-site rapid detection.

[0028] The method of the present invention can achieve qualitative detection of amphetamine or methamphetamine alone, and the colorimetric response effects to amphetamine and methamphetamine can be distinguished by the naked eye, with high sensitivity, strong specificity, short reaction time, and can achieve qualitative detection of a mixture of amphetamine and methamphetamine through a probe-functionalized sponge substrate.

After the reaction was complete, optical photos were recorded. As Figure 6 shown, as the concentration of the dropped amphetamine solution increased, the furan-indene cyanide probe-functionalized sponge substrate gradually changed from orange to red; and as the concentration of the dropped methamphetamine solution increased, the furan-indene cyanide probe-functionalized sponge substrate gradually changed from yellowish green to green. The colorimetric changes of the furan-indene cyanide probe-functionalized sponge substrate before and after detecting amphetamine or methamphetamine with concentrations of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 mmol / L were all relatively obvious, proving that the furan-indene cyanide probe-functionalized sponge substrate was effective in detecting amphetamine or methamphetamine with concentrations of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 mmol / L.

[0071] Detection effects of the furan-indene cyanide probe-functionalized sponge substrate on amphetamine, methamphetamine, or other 16 interfering substances:

[0072] The furan-indene cyanide probe obtained in step c of Example 1 was dissolved in dichloromethane to prepare a solution with a concentration of 1 mmol / L. Then, the polyurethane sponge was immersed in this solution. After complete immersion, it was taken out and dried in an oven at a temperature of 40 °C to obtain a furan-indene cyanide probe-functionalized sponge substrate;

[0073] Using ethanol as the solvent, cocaine, ketamine, morphine, heroin, barbital, methadone, etomidate, γ-hydroxybutyric acid, N-(1-carbamoyl-2,2-dimethylpropyl)-1-(4-pentenyl)indazole-3-carboxamide (synthetic cannabinoid-0749), fentanyl common drugs, and aniline, sulfanilamide, L-glutamine, N-hydroxybenzamide, diphenylamine, or N-ethyl-N-hydroxyaniline other amines were used as interfering substances to prepare interfering substance ethanol solutions with corresponding concentrations of 0.5 mg / mL, as well as amphetamine and methamphetamine ethanol solutions;

[0074] Then, 20 μL of the prepared blank ethanol and ethanol solutions of amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, ketamine, morphine, heroin, barbital, methadone, etomidate, γ-hydroxybutyric acid, N-(1-carbamoyl-2,2-dimethylpropyl)-1-(4-pentenyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (synthetic cannabinoid-0749), fentanyl, aniline, sulfanilamide, L-glutamine, N-hydroxybenzamide, diphenylamine or N-ethyl-N-hydroxyaniline with a concentration of 0.5 mg / mL were respectively dropped onto the furan-indocyanine probe-functionalized sponge substrate. After the reaction was complete, optical photos were recorded. As Figure 7 shown, after dropping amphetamine onto the furan-indocyanine probe-functionalized sponge substrate, the color changed from yellow to red, while after dropping methamphetamine, the color changed from yellow to green. The other drugs and amines dropped did not cause obvious colorimetric changes, indicating that the furan-indocyanine probe molecule has good specificity for amphetamine and methamphetamine.

[0075] Example 8

[0076] Detection effect of the furan-indocyanine probe-functionalized sponge substrate on mixtures of amphetamine and methamphetamine with concentration ratios of 0:5, 1:4, 2:3, 3:2, 4:1, and 5:0:

[0077] The furan-indocyanine probe obtained in step c of Example 1 was dissolved in dichloromethane to prepare a solution with a concentration of 1 mmol / L. Then, the polyurethane sponge was immersed in this solution. After complete immersion, it was taken out and dried in an oven at a temperature of 40 °C to obtain the furan-indocyanine probe-functionalized sponge substrate;

[0078] Using ethanol as the solvent and keeping the total concentration of amphetamine and methamphetamine at 2 mmol / L unchanged, ethanol solutions with concentration ratios of amphetamine to methamphetamine of 0:5, 1:4, 2:3, 3:2, 4:1, and 5:0 were prepared;

[0079] Then, the prepared ethanol solutions with various concentration ratios of amphetamine and methamphetamine were respectively dropped onto the furan-indocyanine probe-functionalized sponge substrate. After the reaction was complete, optical photos were recorded. As Figure 8 shown, as the proportion of amphetamine in the dropped mixture solution increased, the colorimetric response of the furan-indocyanine probe-functionalized sponge substrate gradually changed from green to red; for mixtures of amphetamine and methamphetamine with various ratios, the furan-indocyanine probe-functionalized sponge substrate could produce obvious colorimetric responses to them, proving that the furan-indocyanine probe-functionalized sponge substrate can achieve qualitative discrimination of mixtures of amphetamine and methamphetamine.
