The synthesis of a hapten and antigen for the preparation of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) for buprofezin is described. The recognition mechanism of hapten and buprofezin by monoclonal antibodies (mAb-19F2) is described. The effectiveness of the mAb-19F2 immunoassay technique was assessed, and the effective detection of buprofezin in tea samples was achieved through the establishment of indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) and colloidal gold immunochromatography assay (GICA). The mAb-19F2 subtype was IgG1, with an IC50 of 1.8 ng/mL and a linear range (IC20–IC80) of 0.6–5.4 μg/L, and had a cross-reaction rate of less than 0.18% with 29 other pesticides (neonicotinoids and insect growth regulators). The study identified π–π stacking interactions between hapten and TYR-61 at the mAb-19F2 site and alkyl/phosphate interactions with TRP-105 and ARG-103. The ic-ELISA had an IC50 of 12.9 ng/mL in green tea and 5.65 ng/mL in black tea, with a recovery rate of 92.4%–101.0% and RSD of 2.1%–4.8%. The GICA had a limit of detection (LOD) was 500 ng/mL, with the complete disappearance of the test lines visible to the naked eye. The limit of quantitation (LOQ, IC20) was determined to be 16.8 ng/mL. Additionally, the developed GICA showed no cross-reactivity with neonicotinoid pesticides. The recovery rate of tea spiked recovered samples was 83.6%–92.2%, with an RSD of 5.3%–12.6%, and the results were consistent with the LC/MS method. This study is important for the real-time detection of buprofezin residues to ensure food safety and human health.

Buprofezin (BUP) is an insect growth regulator widely used in agriculture to control hemipteran pests, particularly the melon aphid, Aphis gossypii , due to its efficiency and low toxicity. Although approved by the Chinese government, its maximum residue limit (MRL) in food is strictly regulated, and conventional techniques for detecting BUP have several limitations. Our study reports successful BUP detection using a supramolecular fluorescent probe DP@ALB, constructed with chalcone-based fluorescent dye DP and albumin as the host. The probe offers advantages such as low cost, visual signal output with high fluorescence color variation, rapid response, and high sensitivity. Additionally, portable test strips enable convenient on-site BUP detection and simplifying field monitoring of spiked real samples. The study achieves precise qualitative and quantitative BUP analysis in grape fruit, groundwater, and soil with satisfactory recoveries. Further, the biological applicability of sensor for the in vitro detection of BUP in L929 living cells was demonstrated. This research breakthrough overcomes the limitations of traditional analytical methods, offering an efficient and reliable approach for food and environmental monitoring and pesticide residue detection.
