T1 - Dualplex lateral flow assay for simultaneous scopolamine and cannibal drug detection based on receptor-gated mesoporous nanoparticles N2 - Drug facilitated sexual assaults (chemical submission) consists in the criminal administration of psychoactive substances without the permission of the victim. Among these compounds, scopolamine (SCP) (commonly well-known as burundanga} has emerged as the perfect psychotropic substance for aggressors because its ingestion induces automatism in the brain of the victim causing a state of submission. Physiologically, an appealing feature of SCP is their relevant role as a non-competitive muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist with rapid and robust antidepressant effects in humans and other species. Specifically, SCP is able to block or dampen the biological response because of binding to an allosteric recombinant human muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2/CM2 (Mi-AChR) site that is separate from the active recognition site of acetylcholine, thereby inhibiting the effects of the natural substrate and even of a potent agonist such as bethanechol. Here, a straightforward portable strip in combination with bioinspired hybrid nanomaterials for SCP drug in situ and at site detection was developed. The strips allow direct identification of SCP in diluted saliva down to 40 nM in less than 15 min using a smartphone for readout. For this purpose, we prepared a nanosensor based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles {MSNs) loaded with a fluorescent dye and functionalized with bethanechol. Attachment of the M2-AChR 'cap' to the silica scaffold enabled pore closure through non-covalent recognition. interactions with the anchored bethanechol moieties. In the presence of SCP pores were opened, due to the preferential interaction of the drug with receptor, thus releasing the encapsulated reporter and allowing it to be detected. Additionally, to a single-track strip, the extraordinary modularity of the hybrid biosensor materials in combination with the strip-pattering technologies enabled us to obtain a dual-channel strip for SCP and cannibal drug detection in a simple way, providing comparable analytical performance, while enabling further tailoring to the user's needs.
