Application of modified mesoporous boehmite (γ-AlOOH) with green synthesis carbon quantum dots for a fabrication biosensor to determine trace amounts of doxorubicin.

An important form of carbon nanoparticles that are used for a wide range of applications, are carbon dots (CDs). In this study, a very easy, in expensive and green process was described for the preparation of CDs by using hydrothermal treatment of Tragacanth Gum (TG). A rapid assay for the determination of trace amounts of an anticancer medication doxorubicin (DOX) was developed, based on the quenching of the CDs derived from their aggregation. Electrostatic interaction between CDs and DOX could lead to fluorescence quenching. The optimized biosensor showed a detection range from 1 to 400 ng mL-1 and a limit of detection of 0.4 ng mL-1 . In the following, the synthesized CDs modified the Boehmite (Boh) mesoporous surface based on hydrogen bonding. The Boh has been used as supports and ideal hosts in this method, in which the particle size distribution of CDs in the pores of Boh is limited and they have controlled pore sizes. Accordingly, the surface-to-volume ratio and the presence of high-volume pores increased the longevity and sustainability of CDs; also prevented the aggregation of the CDs and improved their photo stability. The advantages of Boh are large pore volume, high surface area, and narrow size distribution. Variable factors influencing optical sensor response in DOX measurement were evaluated and optimized. In optimal conditions, the linear range was calculated from 1 to 500 ngmL-1 and the detection limit was 0.2 ng mL-1 . The sensors were used for measuring DOX in human blood plasma.
