The utilization of natural materials for the synthesis of highly fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) presents a sustainable approach to overcome the challenges associated with traditional chemical precursors. Here, we report the synthesis of novel S,N-self-doped CQDs (S,N@CQDs) derived from asparagus officinalis herb. These S,N@CQDs exhibit 16.7 % fluorescence quantum yield, demonstrating their potential in medical diagnostics. We demonstrate the efficacy of S,N@CQDs as luminescent probes for the detection of anti-pathogenic medications metronidazole (MTZ) and nitazoxanide (NTZ) over concentration ranges of 0.0-180.0 μM (with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.064 μM) and 0.25-40.0 μM (LOD of 0.05 μM), respectively. The probes were successfully applied to determine MTZ and NTZ in medicinal samples, real samples, and spiked human plasma, with excellent recovery rates ranging from 99.82 % to 103.03 %. Additionally, S,N@CQDs demonstrate exceptional efficacy as diagnostic luminescent probes for hemoglobin (Hb) detection over a concentration range of 0-900 nM, with a minimal detectability of 9.24 nM, comparable to commercially available medical laboratory diagnostic tests. The eco-friendly synthesis and precise detection limits of S,N@CQDs meet necessary analytical requirements and hold promise for advancing diagnostic capabilities in clinical settings. This research signifies a significant step towards sustainable and efficient fluorescence-based medical diagnostics.
利用天然材料合成高荧光碳量子点(CQDs)为克服传统化学前体相关挑战提供了一种可持续的方法。在这里,我们报告了一种从芦笋草中提取的新型 S,N 自掺杂 CQDs(S,N@CQDs)的合成。这些 S,N@CQDs 表现出 16.7%的荧光量子产率,表明它们在医学诊断中有应用潜力。我们证明了 S,N@CQDs 作为荧光探针用于检测抗病原体药物甲硝唑(MTZ)和硝唑尼特(NTZ)的有效性,其浓度范围分别为 0.0-180.0 μM(检测限(LOD)为 0.064 μM)和 0.25-40.0 μM(LOD 为 0.05 μM)。这些探针成功地用于测定药物样品、实际样品和加标人血浆中的 MTZ 和 NTZ,回收率在 99.82%至 103.03%之间。此外,S,N@CQDs 作为血红蛋白(Hb)检测的诊断发光探针在 0-900 nM 的浓度范围内表现出优异的效果,最小检测限为 9.24 nM,与商业上可用的医学实验室诊断测试相当。S,N@CQDs 的环保合成和精确检测限满足了必要的分析要求,并有望提高临床诊断能力。这项研究标志着朝着可持续和高效的荧光基医学诊断迈出了重要的一步。
