Gated hybrid delivery systems: En route to sensory materials with inherent signal amplification
(2013)
Hybrid nanoparticles with a large specific surface area are a particularly exciting vehicle for delivery applications. Such highly porous or container-like structures, usually prepared from silica and frequently from gold, can incorporate a large number of chemical substances such as drug and/or indicator molecules. When equipped with a chemically or physically addressable gating function at the openings of the voids, the release of the cargo can be controlled at will. Because many more molecules can be stored as cargo in the pores of the support than there are functional groups as anchoring sites for the gating entities attached to the outer surface (for efficient pore capping), the systems possess inherent features of (signal) amplification. The present article will introduce various design strategies for different types of physical (light, temperature, magnetism) and chemical (pH, metal ions, anion, small organic molecules, enzymes) stimuli in connection with drug and indicator release. We will highlight exciting aspects of combining both features in theranostic applications and will stress which requirements still have to be met by many of the systems to be readily applicable in a sensory context.
Set them free: Brightly fluorescent indicators that are loaded into mesoporous silica nanoparticle carriers, capped with bulky antibodies, are released into the lateral flow of a test strip upon analyte arrival. Integration of the system into a rapid, simple flow test with fluorescence readout is applied for the selective and sensitive determination of the presence of triacetone triperoxide (TATP) as a prototype small-molecule analyte (see figure).
The use of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) in drug-facilitated sexual assault has increased due to its availability and high solubility in aqueous solutions and alcoholic beverages, necessitating the development of rapid methods for GHB detection. In this respect, portable testing methods for use in the field, based on lateral flow assays (LFAs) and capable of detecting trace concentrations of target analytes, are particularly attractive and hold enormous potential for the detection of illicit drugs. Using this strategy, here we report a rapid, low cost, easy-to-handle strip-based LFA for GHB analysis employing a smartphone for fluorescence readout. At molecular signalling level, the ensemble is based on a Cu2+ complex with a tetradentate ligand and the fluorescent dye coumarin 343, which indicate GHB through an indicator displacement assay (IDA) in aqueous solution. When incorporated in a LFA-based strip test this system shows a detection limit as low as 0.03 μM for GHB in MES buffer solution and is able to detect GHB at concentrations of 0.1 μM in soft drinks and alcoholic beverages in only 1 min.
In this work, the optimization of the immunochemical response of antibody-gated indicator delivery (gAID) systems prepared with mesoporous silica nanoparticles has been studied along various lines of system tailoring, targeting the peroxide-type explosive TATP as an exemplary analyte. The mechanism of detection of these gAID systems relies on a displacement of an antibody “cap” bound to hapten derivatives anchored to the surface of a porous hybrid material, allowing the indicator cargo stored in the mesopores to escape and massively amplify the analyte-related signal. Since our aim was to obtain gAID systems with the best possible response in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and assay time, sera obtained from different immunization boosts were screened, the influence of auxiliary reagents was assessed, structural hapten modification (hapten heterology) was investigated, and various indicator dyes and host materials were tested. Considering that highly selective and sensitive immunological responses are best obtained with high-affinity antibodies which, however, could possess rather slow dissociation constants, leading to slow responses, the main challenge was to optimize the immunochemical recognition system for a rapid response while maintaining a high sensitivity and selectivity. The best performance was observed by grafting a slightly mismatching (heterologous) hapten to the surface of the nanoparticles in combination with high-affinity antibodies as “caps”, yielding for the first time gAID nanomaterials for which the response time could be improved from hours to <5 min. The materials showed favorable detection limits in the lower ppb range and discriminated TATP well against H2O2 and other explosives. Further optimization led to straightforward integration of the materials into a lateral flow assay without further treatment or conditioning of the test strips while still guaranteeing remarkably fast overall assay times.
The roughness as a property of core–shell (CS) microparticles plays a key role in their functionality. Quantitative evaluation of the roughness of CS microparticles is, however, a challenging task with approaches using electron microscopy images being scarce and showing pronounced differences in terms of methodology and results. This work presents a generalized method for the reliable roughness determination of nonplanar specimens such as CS particles from electron microscopic images, the method being robust and reproducible with a high accuracy. It involves a self-written software package (Python) that analyzes the recorded images, extracts corresponding data, and calculates the roughness based on the deviation of the identified contour. Images of single particles are taken by a dual mode scanning electron microscopy (SEM) setup which permits imaging of the same field-of-view of the sample with high resolution and surface sensitive in SE InLens mode as well as in transmission mode (TSEM). Herein, a new type of polystyrene core–iron oxide shell–silica shell particles is developed to serve as a set of lower micrometer-sized study objects with different surface roughness; the analysis of their images by the semiautomatic workflow is demonstrating that the particles’ profile roughness can be quantitatively obtained.
Die Kombination aus elektrogenerierter Chemilumineszenz (ECL) und Aptamer-gesteuerter Indikatorfreisetzung (gAID) aus magnetischen mesoporösen Silica-Nanopartikeln, die in mit Poly(ethylenglycol) und N-(3-Triethoxysilylpropyl) diethanolamin funktionalisiertes Glasfaserpapier eingebettet sind, ermöglichte die Entwicklung eines Schnelltests, mit dem sich Penicillin direkt in verdünnter Milch bis auf 50 +/- 9 ppt in <5 min nachweisen lässt. Die kovalente Bindung der Aptamer-Kappe an das Siliciumdioxid-Gerüst ermöglichte den Verschluss der Poren durch nicht-kovalente elektrostatische Wechselwirkungen mit Oberflächen-Aminogruppen. Die Bindung von Penicillin führte zu einer Faltung des Aptamers, wodurch der zuvor in das Material geladene ECL-Reporter Ru(bpy)32+ freigesetzt wurde und nach lateralem Fluss von einer Smartphone-Kamera nach elektrochemischer Anregung mit einer in einen 3D-gedruckten Halter eingesetzten Siebdruckelektrode detektiert wird. Der Ansatz ist einfach, generisch und bietet Vorteile hinsichtlich Empfindlichkeit, Messunsicherheit und Robustheit gegenüber konventioneller Fluoreszenz- oder elektrochemischer Detektion, insbesondere für Point-of-Need-Analysen anspruchsvoller Matrices und Analyten im Ultraspurenbereich.
Type-I pyrethroids are frequently used for disinfection purposes on airplanes from and to tropical areas. The WHO (Word Health Organization) defines “disinfection” as the procedure whereby health measures are taken to control or kill the insect vectors of human diseases including dengue, yellow fever and malaria.1 Due to this, a new effective and rapid method for pyrethroids analysis directly in the plane is needed.
To detect type-I pyrethroids, gated materials are constructed for the purpose of finely tuning the movement of a cargo from voids of a mesoporous inorganic support to a solution, in response to a predefined stimulus.2 Antibodies are bound to specific functional groups grafted on the support’s surface with the two-fold aim of closing the mesopores and working as biological receptors for the target compounds.2 A specific opening mechanism, activated selectively in presence of pyrethroids as analytes, is able to control the release of an indicator dye previously loaded inside the inorganic support. As only few molecules of pyrethroids are necessary to open a pore and release a large amount of dyes, the system shows an intrinsic signal amplification quantified as a fluorescence emission intensity.3
Different mesoporous silica supports (from nano- and microparticles to platelets and short fibers) were synthetized, characterized and functionalized following different capping strategies. In this contribution, we will compare the temporal response behaviour of the optimized gated materials to verify if the respective delivery systems are properly closed and how fast they can be opened in presence of the analytes. Our results indicate that the trends of the kinetics observed in solution show a better control of the closing/opening mechanism when the epitope region of the antibody (around 10 nm) properly fits the pore size of the carriers.
Because the incorporation of an antibody-gated dye-delivery system with a conventional test-strip-based lateral-flow assay allows for the detection of analytes down to the ppb level in an easy-to-operate manner and an overall assay time of 2–5 min, which is fast for a biochemical test,3 we carried out first model studies for a lateral flow test assay on membranes, using a smartphone setup for read-out.
The aim of this study is to determine the efficiency of loading and release of several zwitterionic, neutral, anionic and cationic dyes into/from mesoporous nanoparticles to find the optimum loading and release conditions for their application in detection protocols. The loading is carried out for MCM-41 type silica supports suspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer (pH 7.4) or in acetonitrile, involving the dyes (rhodamine B chloride, rhodamine 101 chloride, rhodamine 101 perchlorate, rhodamine 101 inner salt, meso-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-boron–dipyrromethene (BODIPY), sulforhodamine B sodium salt and fluorescein 27). As a general trend, rhodamine-based dyes are loaded with higher efficiency, when compared with BODIPY and fluorescein dyes. Between the rhodamine-based dyes, their charge and the solvent in which the loading process is carried out play important roles for the amount of cargo that can be loaded into the materials. The delivery experiments carried out in PBS buffer at pH 7.4 reveal for all the materials that anionic dyes are more efficiently released compared to their neutral or cationic counterparts. The overall best performance is achieved with the negatively charged sulforhodamine B dye in acetonitrile. This material also shows a high delivery degree in PBS buffer.
