Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to nanozymes, specifically Ru-N coordinated hydrogen-bonded organic framework nanozymes (Ru-HOFs), their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, and early diagnosis is crucial for improving patient survival rates.

[0003] Studies have shown that D-amino acids (DAAs) in saliva, especially D-proline (D-Pro) and D-alanine (D-Ala), are associated with early-stage gastric cancer. The DAA levels in the saliva of patients with early-stage gastric cancer are significantly higher than in healthy individuals. The concentration of D-Ala in the saliva of healthy individuals ranges from 5.4 to 7.8 μmol / L. -1 The concentration of D-Pro was 7.3-18.3 μmol / L. -1 The DAA concentration of D-Pro in the saliva of gastric cancer patients ranged from 126.3 to 285.3 μmol / L. -1 The DAA concentration range of D-Ala is 46.1 - 114.5 μmol L. -1 Therefore, accurate D-Pro and D-Ala monitoring can assist in the early diagnosis of gastric GC and can serve as potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis of gastric cancer.

[0004] Currently, methods for detecting these D-amino acids mainly include surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), electrochemical methods (ECL), and chemiluminescence. However, these methods usually rely on expensive instruments and equipment, complex sample pretreatment processes, and professional operators, and the detection cycle is long. They are difficult to meet the actual needs of early gastric cancer screening for rapid, convenient, and on-site detection, thus limiting their application in early large-scale screening.

[0005] Colorimetric methods have attracted much attention due to their simplicity, intuitive results, and low cost. In recent years, researchers have developed various nanozymes to construct cascade reaction platforms for the detection of D-amino acids. For example, patent document CN112763438A discloses a carbon dot peroxidase CDs@NC, which has been applied to the detection of D-Ala and D-Pro, but its detection sensitivity still needs improvement. Patent document CN119269482A uses Pt / Ti3C2T... X Nanomaterials are available, but their stability is insufficient and their cost is high.

[0006] Therefore, developing a novel nanozyme with high catalytic activity, good stability, and low cost to construct a sensitive and reliable method for the detection of D-amino acids remains a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a novel hydrogen-bonded organic framework nanozyme with high catalytic activity and good stability, as well as its preparation method and application.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A Ru-N coordinated hydrogen-bonded organic framework nanozyme was prepared by anchoring ruthenium ions onto a hydrogen-bonded organic framework material through Ru-N coordination bonds.

[0009] A method for preparing Ru-N coordinated hydrogen-bonded organic framework nanozymes includes the following steps: Step 1: Prepare ruthenium chloride solution (RuCl3); Step 2: Dissolve 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-p-aminophenylpyrene) (PyTTA) in methanol (CH3OH) and stir until homogeneous; Step 3: Slowly add ruthenium chloride solution (RuCl3) to the solution while stirring; Step 4: After the reaction is complete, the reaction product is collected using a high-speed centrifuge, washed with deionized water, and then dispersed in purified water for later use to prepare a solution of hydrogen-bonded organic framework nanozymes Ru-HOFs.

[0010] The concentration of the ruthenium chloride solution is 1-10 mg / mL; The ratio of 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-p-aminophenylpyrene) to methanol is 10-30 mg: 10-20 mL; The amount of ruthenium chloride solution added is 100-1000 μL; The preferred stirring reaction time is 10-24 hours; The centrifuge speed is 8000~12000 rpm / min.

[0011] The above-mentioned Ru-N coordinated hydrogen bond organic framework nanozyme is used in the preparation of reagents for the detection of D-proline and D-alanine.

[0012] A colorimetric method for detecting D-proline and D-alanine includes the following steps: Step A: Contact the sample to be tested with D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO), and the reaction produces hydrogen peroxide; Step B: The reaction product of step A is contacted with the above-mentioned Ru-N coordinated hydrogen-bonded organic framework nanozyme Ru-HOFs and o-phenylenediamine (OPD). The hydrogen-bonded organic framework nanozyme catalyzes the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine by peroxide, resulting in a color change. Step C: Quantitatively or qualitatively detect the content of D-proline and D-alanine in the sample by measuring color changes (e.g., measuring absorbance using an ELISA reader, or capturing and analyzing the RGB values ​​of an image using a smartphone).

[0013] Preferably, the colorimetric detection range for D-proline is 2-150 μmol / L. -1 The detection limit is 0.6112 μmol L / L. -1 The colorimetric detection range for D-alanine is 5-100 μmol / L. -1 The detection limit is 2.299 μmol L / L. -1 .

[0014] This invention discloses a Ru-N coordination interface-regulated hydrogen-bonded organic framework for inducing peroxidase activity in the detection of gastric cancer biomarkers. The nanozyme is prepared using 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-p-aminophenylpyrene) (PyTTA) as a monomer, synthesizing an innovative Ru-HOF nanozyme through Ru-N coordination. The synthesized Ru-HOF nanozyme exhibits superior peroxidase activity, and the HOFs can convert Ru... 3+ The confinement of the reaction area stabilizes the catalytic activity to a certain extent. This method has advantages such as simple operation, low material synthesis difficulty, and mild reaction conditions, and exhibits excellent selectivity and a low detection limit. Notably, this invention successfully developed a novel sensor integrating multiple functions such as loading, catalysis, and sensing. This invention demonstrates great application potential in the field of biomedical point-of-care diagnostics. Attached Figure Description

Figure 1 It includes the following steps: Step 1: Prepare a 5 mg / mL ruthenium chloride solution (RuCl3); Step 2: Weigh 20 mg of 1,3,6,8-tetra(4-p-aminophenylpyrene) (PyTTA), dissolve it in 16 mL of methanol (CH3OH) and stir well; Step 3: Slowly add 800 μL of RuCl3 solution to the well-stirred solution and continue stirring for 12 hours. Step 4: After the reaction is complete, the reaction product is collected using a centrifuge at 10,000 rpm / min, washed twice with deionized water, and then dispersed in 12 mL of purified water for later use to prepare a hydrogen-bonded organic framework nanozyme Ru-HOFs solution.

Figure 4 The detection principle is as follows: DAAO can catalyze the hydrolysis of D-AA to produce H2O2. Since Ru-HOFs have excellent peroxidase activity, they can catalyze the colorless OPD to turn into yellow DAP. Based on the color change of OPD, D-Pro and D-Ala can be detected colorimetrically.
