The advancement of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and its inhibitor assays is crucial for clinical diagnosis, drug screening, and environmental monitoring. A nanozyme-mediated cascade reaction system could offer promising prospects for a wide range of applications in such biosensing; however, the creation of nanozyme catalysts with diverse functionalities remains a significant challenge. Herein, we have proposed a multifunctional iron-doped polymer dots (Fe-PDs) nanozyme possessing excellent fluorescence and peroxidase (POD)-mimicking activity. Notably, the Fe-PDs nanozyme is capable of catalyzing HO to produce a series of reactive oxygen species, which can simultaneously quench the fluorescence of Fe-PDs and induce a chromogenic reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), enabling the dual-mode detection of HO through both fluorescence turn-off and absorbance turn-on signals. Furthermore, by integrating acetylcholine (ACh) and choline oxidase (ChOx), we have developed a three-enzyme (AChE-ChOx-POD) cascade-based fluorometric and colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform for monitoring AChE activity and its inhibitors. The sensitive and convenient dual-mode sensor has achieved low limits of detection with 0.5 mU/mL (fluorometry) and 0.014 mU/mL (colorimetry) for AChE, respectively, which are superior to the traditional Ellman's assay. More significantly, this sensor can also be extended to detect the reversible and irreversible inhibitors of AChE, such as tacrine (IC = 23.3 nM) and carbaryl (LOD = 0.8 nM). We firmly believe that this innovative dual-mode nanozyme-involved multienzyme cascade system-based sensing strategy will stimulate further exploration and serve as a versatile and practical tool for biochemical sensing applications.
乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)活性及其抑制剂测定的进展对于临床诊断、药物筛选和环境监测至关重要。纳米酶介导的级联反应系统为广泛的生物传感应用提供了有前途的前景;然而,创造具有多种功能的纳米酶催化剂仍然是一个重大挑战。在这里,我们提出了一种具有优异荧光和过氧化物酶(POD)模拟活性的多功能铁掺杂聚合物点(Fe-PDs)纳米酶。值得注意的是,Fe-PDs 纳米酶能够催化 HO 产生一系列活性氧,同时猝灭 Fe-PDs 的荧光并诱导 3,3',5,5'-四甲基联苯胺(TMB)的显色反应,从而通过荧光关闭和吸光度开启信号实现 HO 的双模式检测。此外,通过整合乙酰胆碱(ACh)和胆碱氧化酶(ChOx),我们开发了一种三酶(AChE-ChOx-POD)级联荧光和比色双模式传感平台,用于监测 AChE 活性及其抑制剂。灵敏方便的双模式传感器具有低检测限,AChE 的荧光法检测限为 0.5 mU/mL,比色法检测限为 0.014 mU/mL,优于传统的 Ellman 测定法。更重要的是,该传感器还可扩展用于检测 AChE 的可逆和不可逆抑制剂,如他克林(IC = 23.3 nM)和carbaryl(LOD = 0.8 nM)。我们坚信,这种创新的双模式纳米酶参与的多酶级联系统传感策略将激发进一步的探索,并成为生化传感应用的一种多功能实用工具。
