A novel fluorescent probe, amino-pillar[5]arene (APA), was prepared via a green, effective, and convenient synthetic method, which was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR), and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The fluorescence sensing behavior of the APA probe toward 22 metal ions in aqueous solutions were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that APA could be used as a selective fluorescent probe for the specificity detection of Au3+ ions. Moreover, the detection characteristics were investigated by fluorescence spectral titration, pH effect, fluorescence competitive experiments, Job’s plot analysis, 1H NMR, and IR. The results indicated that detection of Au3+ ions by the APA probe could be achieved in the range of pH 1–13.5 and that other coexisting metal ions did not cause any marked interference. The titration analysis results indicated that the fluorescence intensity decreased as the concentration of Au3+ ions increased, with an excellent correlation (R2 = 0.9942). The detection limit was as low as 7.59 × 10–8 mol·L–1, and the binding ratio of the APA probe with Au3+ ions was 2:1. Therefore, the APA probe has potential applications for detecting Au3+ ions in the environment and in living organisms.

Glutathione (GSH) is an important antioxidant that is generated and degraded via the GSH cycle. Quantification of the main components in the GSH cycle is necessary to evaluate the process of GSH. In this study, a robust ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous quantification of 10 components (GSH; γ-glutamylcysteine; cysteinyl-glycine; n -acetylcysteine; homocysteine; cysteine; cystine; methionine; glutamate; pyroglutamic acid) in GSH cycle was developed. The approach was optimized in terms of derivative, chromatographic, and spectrometric conditions as well as sample preparation. The unstable thiol groups of GSH, γ-glutamylcysteine, cysteinyl-glycine, n -acetylcysteine, cysteine, and homocysteine were derivatized by n-ethylmaleimide. The derivatized and underivatized analytes were separated on an amino column with gradient elution. The method was further validated in terms of selectivity (no interference), linearity (R 2 > 0.99), precision (% relative standard deviation [RSD%] range from 0.57 to 10.33), accuracy (% relative error [RE%] range from -3.42 to 10.92), stability (RSD% < 5.68, RE% range from -2.54 to 4.40), recovery (RSD% range from 1.87 to 7.87) and matrix effect (RSD% < 5.42). The validated method was applied to compare the components in the GSH cycle between normal and oxidative stress cells, which would be helpful in clarifying the effect of oxidative stress on the GSH cycle.

Nitric oxide (NO)-mediated gas therapy (GT) and alkyl radical (R•) therapy (ART) are emerging cancer therapy modes, and multi-mode therapy has been recognized as an attractive strategy for enhancing anti-cancer efficacy. In this work, a thermal-responsive R• initiator 2,2′-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride (AIBI)-loaded glycol-targeting NO nanogenerator was constructed by first the covalent conjugation of thermal-responsive NO donor of S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) on the surface of mesoporous silica-coated gold nanorods ( [email protected] ), then the coating of a supramolecular complex of amino pillar[5]arene (NP5) and galactose derivative (G), and finally the loading of AIBI. The glycol-targeting NO nanogenerator demonstrated specific targeting ability to HepG2 cells owing to the recognition between galactose residues and asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPR). Specially, upon 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the AIBI-loaded NO nanogenerator generated hyperthermia to achieve photothermal therapy (PTT), and further GT and ART resulted from the thermal responsiveness of RSNO and AIBI, respectively. In vitro experiments revealed that the AIBI-loaded glyco-targeting NO nanogenerator had good biocompatibility and exhibited effective inhibition to the proliferation of HepG2 cells. This work provides a novel way to supramolecular hybrid drug delivery systems for triple-mode targeting therapy of PTT/GT/ART.
