Background
The total antioxidant capacity (total antioxidant capacity, TAC) refers to the sum of the antioxidant capacities of all antioxidants in the sample to be tested. It is an index of clinical biochemical tests that can be assessed by measuring the antioxidant content in blood, urine or other body fluids. The total antioxidant capacity can reflect the body's ability to fight free radicals and oxidative stress, an important tool for assessing health and disease risk.
In order to accurately detect the total antioxidant capacity, a fluorescence and colorimetric sensing platform based on nano-enzyme is constructed. TAC detection was performed by oxidizing Ascorbic Acid (AA) with a synthetic Cu-N/C nanoenzyme to produce hydrogen peroxide (H 2O2) designed for fluorescence and colorimetric sensing platforms as described in Tao et al. The detection limits of this technique were 0.7 μm and 0.3 μm, respectively. However, the synthesis of the material in the technology requires high-temperature treatment, the cost is high, and the TAC detection cannot be satisfied due to single detection target. (C.Tao, Y.Jiang, S.Chu, Y.Miao, J.Zhang, Y.Lu, et al, anal. Chem.2024,96, 3107-3115). Yan et al designed a fluorescent and colorimetric sensing platform based on a persistent luminescence nanoenzyme ZGO-Pt with peroxidase-like activity (POD). By adding H 2O2, TMB is oxidized by free radicals, and the fluorescence of ZGO-Pt is quenched by Ox-TMB, so that detection of TAC is performed. However, H 2O2 introduced by this technique may interfere with the measurement of TAC (L.—X.yan, Z.—Y.yan, X.zhao, L.—J.Chen, X.— P.Yan, sensor.Actuat.B-chem.,2024,405,135333.). The Chen subject group constructs a colorimetric sensing platform based on Co-Ir/C nano-enzyme with peroxidase-like activity by using TMB as a probe, and is used for detecting TAC. However, this technique uses a single signal output, is subject to environmental/background interference, and presents false positive/false negative results that are detrimental to TAC detection (S.Li, P.Keoingthong, J.Xu, Y.Yang, J.Shen, Y.Xu, et al, biosens. Bioelectron.,2023,236,115416).
In summary, the existing nanoenzyme-based fluorescence and colorimetric sensing platforms for detecting TAC have the following defects:
(1) The single signal output is adopted, so that the signal is easy to be interfered by the background/environment, and the false positive/false negative result is caused, so that the detection of TAC is not facilitated.
(2) Most materials are nano enzymes with peroxidase-like activity, hydrogen peroxide molecules are introduced during operation, and a certain background interference is caused to TAC determination.
(3) In the aspect of synthesizing materials, most materials need a certain high-temperature or ultra-high-temperature treatment, so that the synthesis is complex and the cost is high.

Detailed Description
The invention adopts a one-pot method to synthesize MnSiO 3 with similar oxidase activity (OXD) at normal temperature, and combines with fluorogenic substrates SC and OPD with opposite responses to construct a novel ratio fluorescence sensing platform with sensitivity and strong anti-interference capability. The accuracy of experimental detection is improved due to the double signal output of opposite effects, and the low cost of material synthesis and the non-introduction of hydrogen peroxide provide advantages for the determination of TAC. Therefore, the invention solves the bottleneck problem existing in the previous work very skillfully.
The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
A nanoenzyme-based ratiometric fluorescence sensing platform for total antioxidant capacity determination, comprising:
MnSiO 3 with oxidase-like activity;
Two fluorogenic substrates having opposite responses, preferably one of which is Scopoletin (SC) and the other of which is o-phenylenediamine (OPD).
Preferably, in the ratiometric fluorescence sensing platform system:
The mass concentration of MnSiO 3 having oxidase-like activity was 6.4 mg.mL -1 in volume of 10. Mu.L, the molar concentration of fluorogenic substrate SC was 50. Mu.M in volume of 5. Mu.L, the molar concentration of fluorogenic substrate OPD was 300mM in volume of 50. Mu.L.
The MnSiO 3 with the oxidase-like activity is synthesized by adopting a one-pot method, and the synthesis steps are as follows:
MnCl 2·4H2 O (0.5 mM,10 mL) was added dropwise to an aqueous solution of NaSiO 3·9H2 O (0.5 mM,90 mL) and stirred for 20min. The resulting solution was then centrifuged at 11000rpm for 12 minutes and carefully washed 3 times with deionized water. Finally, the brown precipitate was collected by centrifugation and then dispersed with ultrapure water. The final light brown stock was kept at 4 ℃ for further use.
The invention relates to a nano enzyme-based ratio fluorescence sensing platform for measuring total antioxidant capacity, which has the following action mechanism:
MnSiO 3 has activity similar to that of OXD, mnSiO 3 oxidizes fluorescent substrate SC/OPD in the absence of antioxidant, and both of the substrates respectively show low and high fluorescence signals, and MnSiO 3 is etched by the antioxidant in the presence of the antioxidant and cannot oxidize fluorescent substrate SC/OPD to respectively generate high and low signals (the emission wavelengths of SC and OPD are 465nm and 562nm respectively).
A nano enzyme-based ratio fluorescent sensing platform for measuring total antioxidant capacity is used for measuring Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) in food and serum.
The detection steps of the nano enzyme-based ratio fluorescent sensing platform system for the antioxidant are as follows:
AA at various concentrations was incubated with MnSiO 3(6.4mg·mL-1, 10. Mu.L) in 385. Mu.L Tris-HCl buffer for 40min at room temperature. OPD (300 mM, 50. Mu.L) was then added to the system and incubated for 40min, and the fluorescence intensity (FI 562) of ox-OPD at 562nm after excitation at 370nm was monitored. Subsequently, SC (50. Mu.M, 5. Mu.L) was introduced into the above mixture, and the fluorescence intensity of ox-SC (FI 465) was examined at an excitation wavelength of 380 nm. Finally, the FI 465/FI562 ratio can be correctly calculated as the final response signal. In addition, the analytical steps of Cys and GSH are identical to the AA assay (see fig. 1).
Referring to fig. 3, the nano-enzyme-based ratiometric fluorescence sensing platform system of the present invention is used for TAC determination steps as follows:
Two brands of vitamin C tablets and two types of beverages were measured separately with reference to the antioxidant detection method. The vitamin C tablets are subjected to the pretreatment steps of grinding, dissolving and centrifuging in sequence. And the collected supernatant and the two types of beverages were diluted 50-fold, 18-fold and 150-fold, respectively, so that their different concentrations were within the linear range of AA detection. After fluorescence measurement and calculation of the FI 465/FI562 ratio, the expression of TAC content and concentration equivalent AA was obtained.
For TAC determination of human serum samples, standard addition methods were used. Serum samples (5% in weight) were diluted with Tris-HCl buffer and TAC values were measured for blank serum samples. Meanwhile, AA standard solutions of different concentrations were added to the diluted serum, and FI 465/FI562 values were obtained using the procedure described above.

The vitamin C tablets are subjected to the pretreatment steps of grinding, dissolving and centrifuging in sequence. And the collected supernatant and the two types of beverages were diluted 50-fold, 18-fold and 150-fold, respectively, so that their different concentrations were within the linear range of AA detection.

The invention also investigates the selectivity and anti-interference capability of the MnSiO 3 -based ratiometric fluorescence sensing platform, see fig. 5. Here, some of the same concentrations (500. Mu.M) of metal ions and amino acids (e.g., na +, glu, fru, suc, thr, gly, arg, his, lys) were used as substitutes to evaluate selectivity. As shown in FIG. 5, only AA, cys, or GSH revealed a significant FI465/FI562 ratio, while the other counterparts produced negligible ratio values. This result can be attributed to the specific interaction between the antioxidant and MnSiO 3 nanoenzyme and its strong reducing power.
