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.
首次通过竞争性主客体识别开发了阳离子柱[5]芳烃(CP5)与左旋肉碱之间的超分子主体-客体相互作用和传感。荧光传感平台由 CP5 功能化的金纳米粒子(CP5@Au-NPs)作为受体和探针(罗丹明 123,R123)构建,对左旋肉碱的检测表现出高灵敏度和选择性。由于左旋肉碱带负电荷和分子尺寸的特性,它可以通过静电相互作用和疏水相互作用被 CP5 高度捕获。通过¹H NMR 和分子对接研究了 CP5 与左旋肉碱之间的主客体机制,表明 CP5 与左旋肉碱具有更强的结合力。因此,开发了一种选择性和灵敏的荧光方法。它在 0.1⁻2.0 和 2.0⁻25.0 μM 范围内具有线性响应,检测限为 0.067 μM(S/N = 3)。荧光传感平台还用于检测人血清和牛奶样品中的左旋肉碱,为药物滥用检测提供了潜在的应用,并为严重的食品安全问题提供了保障途径。
