Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection is paramount in biological and clinical domains due to its pivotal role in various physiological and pathological processes. This molecule is a crucial metabolite and effector in cellular redox mechanisms, influencing diverse cellular signaling pathways and bolstering the body’s defense mechanisms against infection and oxidative stress. Organic molecule-based electrodes present unique advantages such as operational versatility and scalability, rendering them attractive candidates for sensor development across diverse fields encompassing food safety, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. This study explores the electrochemical properties of a tris(3-hydroxypyridin-4-one) THP, which has been unexplored in electrochemical sensing. Leveraging THP’s chelating properties, we aimed to develop an electrochemical probe for hydrogen peroxide detection. Our investigations reveal promising results, with the developed sensor exhibiting a low limit of detection (LOD) of 144 nM, underscoring its potential utility in sensitive and selective H2O2 detection applications. In addition, the new sensor was also tested on fetal bovine serum (FBS) to emphasize future applications on biological matrices. This research signifies a significant stride in advancing electrochemical sensor technologies for hydrogen peroxide detection with several novelties related to the usage of THP, such as high sensitivity and selectivity, performance in biological matrices, repeatability, stability, and reproducibility, economical and practical advantages. This research opens new avenues for enhanced biomedical diagnostics and therapeutic interventions.
期刊介绍：
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
