Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of drug detection and provides a method for detecting amphetamine in drugs using an anthracene-based probe. This probe has a low detection limit, strong anti-interference capabilities, and a short reaction time, enabling low-cost, real-time fluorescence detection of amphetamine in drugs. Background Technology

[0002] Drugs harm people's health and can easily lead to other crimes. In actual manufacturing, trafficking and abuse scenarios, the complex and varied composition and form of drugs, as well as their strong camouflage, pose great challenges to on-site detection.

[0003] Amphetamine, a stimulant psychotropic drug, is highly addictive because it induces euphoria by inhibiting the release of dopamine inhibitors. Its smuggling and abuse are serious problems, and it has become a representative Class II synthetic drug. Achieving highly sensitive, rapid-response, and selective on-site detection is of great significance for strictly controlling its abuse, transportation, and sale, thereby effectively reducing crime.

[0004] Compared to other methods of on-site drug detection, such as chromatography-mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, electrical analysis, and ion mobility spectrometry, optical sensing methods based on colorimetry and fluorescence can utilize the selective interaction between the designed recognition group and the target molecule to change its stacking state or chemical structure. The intensity of the resulting change in light signal is accumulated to output a detectable and visual signal. Due to its many excellent characteristics, such as intuitive results, adjustable structure, high specificity, fast response speed, and highly modular devices, it has become one of the important solutions for on-site drug detection.

[0005] This invention develops a method for detecting amphetamine in drugs based on anthracene probes. This method achieves highly specific and sensitive rapid on-site fluorescence detection of amphetamine by using a probe with anthracene as the fluorophore, benzothiadiazole as the π-bridge, and aldehyde or dicyanvinyl as the reaction site, in the form of a detection reagent or a sponge analysis card. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for detecting amphetamine in drugs based on anthracene-based probes. This method utilizes two anthracene-based probes, both capable of ratiometric fluorescence detection of amphetamine. The two anthracene-based probes use aldehyde and dicyanvinyl groups as recognition groups, respectively, with anthracene as the luminescent center and benzothiadiazole as the π-bridge. They are obtained through Suzuki coupling and Kneven-Gail condensation reactions. Specifically, the anthracene-based probe with the aldehyde group as the recognition group changes its fluorescence color from orange to yellow upon the addition of amphetamine; the anthracene-based probe with the dicyanvinyl group changes its fluorescence color from dark red to yellow upon the addition of amphetamine. Both probes exhibit ratiometric fluorescence signals. For ease of practical application in the field, the dicyanvinyl-anthrayl probe is loaded onto a sponge substrate to create an analytical card. Upon adding an amphetamine solution, the fluorescence color changes from orange to green, and the colorimetric effect changes from orange to pale yellow. The detection is unaffected by interference from other common drugs and amines. This invention offers advantages such as high sensitivity, high specificity, speed, and visualization, and has broad application prospects in on-site drug analysis.

[0007] The method for detecting amphetamine in drugs based on anthracene probes according to the present invention is carried out according to the following steps:

[0008] Preparation of detection reagents:

[0009] a. Weigh 2-anthraboric acid and 7-bromo-4-aldehyde benzo[C][1,2,5]thiadiazole in a molar ratio of 1:1, place them in a 100 mL three-necked flask, add 10 mL toluene, 5 mL pure water and 10 mL tert-butanol, and under nitrogen atmosphere protection, control the reaction temperature at 85 °C and stir. Then slowly add sodium carbonate and the catalyst tetra(triphenylphosphine)palladium, and react in the dark for 36 h.

[0010] b. After the reaction is complete, wash with dilute hydrochloric acid solution until neutral, extract with dichloromethane, dry with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filter and evaporate to dryness to obtain crude aldehyde-anthrayl probe product, then recrystallize with methanol and purify by column chromatography to obtain orange solid, which is aldehyde-anthrayl probe.

[0011] c. Place the aldehyde-anthrayl probe obtained in step b and malononitrile in a 1:1 molar ratio into a 100 mL three-necked flask, add 1 mL of pyridine and 10 mL of toluene, and under nitrogen atmosphere protection, control the reaction temperature at 60 °C and stir, and react in the dark for 24 h.

[0012] d. After the reaction was complete, the sample was extracted with dichloromethane, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness to obtain the crude product of dicyanvinyl-anthrayl probe. The crude product was then purified by recrystallization with methanol and column chromatography to obtain the red solid as dicyanvinyl-anthrayl probe.

[0013] e. Dissolve the aldehyde-anthrayl probe obtained in step b and the dicyandiamide-anthrayl probe obtained in step d in tetrahydrofuran, respectively. After ultrasonic dissolution, prepare aldehyde-anthrayl probe solution and dicyandiamide-anthrayl probe solution with a concentration of 0.01-1 mmol / L to obtain two detection reagents for identifying amphetamine.

[0014] Aldehyde-anthrayl probe for the detection of amphetamine:

[0015] f. Take 450 μL of the 0.05 mmol / L aldehyde-anthrayl probe solution obtained in step e into a test tube, and then add 50 μL of a 5 mmol / L amphetamine solution. After the reaction is complete, record the fluorescence spectrum and optical photograph under 365 nm ultraviolet light excitation conditions, and observe the signal changes of the fluorescence characteristic emission peaks before and after the reaction.

[0016] Detection of amphetamine using a dicyandiamide-anthrayl probe:

[0017] g. Take 450 μL of the 0.05 mmol / L dicyandiamide-anthrayl probe solution obtained in step e into a test tube, then add 50 μL of a 5 mmol / L amphetamine solution. After the reaction is complete, record the fluorescence spectrum and optical photograph under 365 nm ultraviolet light excitation conditions, and observe the signal changes of the fluorescence characteristic emission peaks before and after the reaction.

[0018] Alternatively, a polyurethane sponge can be immersed in a 0.1 mmol / L dicyandiamide-anthrayl probe solution. After complete immersion, the sponge is removed and dried in an oven at 40°C until the solvent is completely evaporated, resulting in a sponge analysis card loaded with the dicyandiamide-anthrayl probe. 20 μL of the amphetamine solution to be detected is then added to the sponge analysis card loaded with the dicyandiamide-anthrayl probe, and colorimetric and fluorescence changes are observed under sunlight and 365 nm illumination.

[0019] The present invention discloses a method for detecting amphetamine in drugs based on anthracene probes. The chemical names of the aldehyde-anthrayl probe and the dicyandiamide-anthrayl probe are 7-(anthrayl-2-yl)benzo[2,1-c][1,2,5]thiadiazacyclopentanyl-4-carboxaldehyde (abbreviated as aldehyde-anthrayl probe) and 2-{[7-(anthrayl-2-yl)benzo[2,1-c][1,2,5]thiadiazacyclopentanyl-4-yl]methylidene}malonitrile (abbreviated as dicyandiamide-anthrayl probe), respectively. These probes can be obtained through Suzuki coupling and Knauven-Gale condensation reactions. The corresponding chemical structural formulas (I) and (II) of the aldehyde-anthrayl probe and the dicyandiamide-anthrayl probe are as follows:

[0020]

[0021] This invention discloses a method for the fluorescent detection of amphetamine in drugs using an anthracene-based probe. In this method, anthracene-based probes with aldehyde and dicyanvinyl groups as response groups can achieve ratiometric fluorescence detection of amphetamine. The dicyanvinyl-anthrayl probe has a naked-eye detection limit of 60 μmol / L for amphetamine, with a detection linear range of 20-500 μmol / L. When a sponge analytical card loaded with the dicyanvinyl-anthrayl probe is used in simulated field detection applications, the fluorescence color changes from orange to green within 60 seconds of adding amphetamine, accompanied by a colorimetric change from orange to pale yellow. Other common drugs and amines do not significantly interfere with the detection of amphetamine. This invention has no special limitations in use; qualitative detection can be rapidly completed at room temperature without pretreatment of the analyte. It is simple to operate, economical and practical, with high specificity and sensitivity, and stable and reproducible results. These advantages make this invention easily applicable and widely promoted in the field of on-site point-of-care testing.

[0022] The anthracene-based probes respond to amphetamine with aldehyde and dicyanvinyl groups. In the presence of amphetamine, both probes exhibit significant ratiometric fluorescence changes: orange to yellow (aldehyde-anthrayl probe) and dark red to yellow (dicyanvinyl-anthrayl probe). When the probes are loaded onto a sponge substrate to form an analytical card, and an amphetamine solution is added, a significant fluorescence response change occurs within 60 seconds, simultaneously exhibiting a colorimetric phenomenon of orange turning pale yellow. This probe demonstrates excellent recognition ability for amphetamine, and amphetamine detection is unaffected by interference from other common drugs and amines. This invention provides a sound research foundation and an effective means of drug detection and procurement at the scene.

[0023] The present invention discloses a method for detecting amphetamine in drugs using an anthracene-based probe. The detection principle of this method is as follows: the amino group of the analyte amphetamine nucleophilically attacks the aldehyde group or dicyanvinyl double bond of the anthracene-based probe molecule, thereby undergoing an addition reaction. Then, an elimination reaction occurs to remove water or malononitrile to form a double bond. The change in the molecular structure of the probe to the product corresponds to the change in fluorescence color. Attached Figure Description
