Development of Novel Magneto-Biosensor for Sulfapyridine Detection

In this work, we report the development of a highly sensitive biosensor for sulfapyridine detection based on an integrated bio micro-electromechanical system (Bio-MEMS) containing four gold working electrodes (WEs), a platinum counter electrode (CE), and a reference electrode (RE). Firstly, the cleaned WEs were modified with 4-aminophenylacetic acid (CMA). Then, (5-[4-(amino)phenylsulfonamide]-5-oxopentanoic acid (SA2BSA) was immobilized onto the transducers surface by carbodiimide chemistry. The analyte was quantified by competitive detection with SA2BSA immobilized on the WE toward a mixture of Ab155 antibody (with fixed concentration) and sulfapyridine. In order to obtain a highly sensitive biosensor, Ab155 was immobilized onto magnetic latex nanoparticles surface to create a 3D architecture (Ab-MLNp). Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), we investigated the influence of the Ab-MLNp on the sensitivity of our approach. The optimized system was analyzed, as competitive assay, with different concentrations of sulfapyridine (40 µM, 4 µM, and 2 nM) and with phosphate buffer solution. From data fitting calculations and graphs, it was observed that the EIS showed more linearity when Ab-MLNp was used. This result indicates that the magnetic latex nanoparticles increased the sensitivity of the biosensor

Magnetic latex particles for bionanotechnology and biosensors

L'objectif de ce travail est de surmonter tous ces processus long et fastidieux comme la filtration et la centrifugation qui sont utilisées dans l'application in-vitro. En plus, ces particules qui sont appropriés pour une utilisation dans le laboratoire-sur une-puce et les biocapteurs systèmes sont produites. Les particules submicroniques magnétiques de latex (MLPs) avec la morphologie noyaucoque souhaité ont été préparées. L'huile dans eau (h/e) et l'émulsion magnétique (faitmaison) a été utilisé en tant que graine de polymérisation radicalaire en émulsion de styrène (St) en tant que monomère et agent de reticulation divenylbenzene (DVB) en présence de persulfate de potassium qu'initiateur. Les particules de la surface ont été fonctionnalisés avec du sulfate et des groupes carboxyliques en utilisant les initiateurs. Un nouveau biocapteur électrochimique de capacité basé sur de substrat de nitrure de silicium (Si3N4) combiné à des MLPs a été développé. MLPs avec terminaison acide carboxylique ont été liés de manière covalente à Si3N4 à travers des monocouches autoassemblées (SAMs) du silane-amine (3-aminopropyl) triéthoxysilane (APTES). Enfin les anticorps anti-ochratoxine A ont été immobilisés sur les MLPs par liaison amide. Mesures électrochimiques ont été effectuées en utilisant une analyse Mott-Schottky pour la détection de l'ochratoxine A (OTA). L'utilisation de l'application de dosage compétitif grà¢ce à l'immobilisation des quantités fixe d'antigène (SA2BSA) et d'anticorps (Ab 155) a été mesurée respectivement contre différentes concentrations de sulfamides pyridine (SPY), avec et sans utilisation de MLPs avec une fonctionnalité de groupe carboxylique. La sensibilité de Biocapteur a augmenté quand MLPs ont été utilisésObjective of this work is to overcome all those tedious and time consuming processes likefiltration and centrifugation which are used in in-vitro applications. Moreover, suchparticles which are suitable for use in lab-on-a-chip and biosensors systems are produced.Submicron magnetic latex particles (MLPs) with desired core-shell morphology wereprepared. Oil in water (o/w) magnetic emulsion (home-made) was used as seed of radicalemulsion polymerization of Styrene (St.) as a monomer and cross-linker divenylbenzene (DVB ) in the presence of potassium persulfate (KPS) and 4, 4'-azobis cyanopentanoic acid(ACPA) as an initiators. Particles surface was functionalized with sulfate and carboxylicgroups by using the initiators.A novel capacitance electrochemical biosensor based on silicon nitride substrate (Si3N4)combined with MLPs was developed. MLPs with terminated carboxylic acid werecovalently bonded to Si3N4 through a Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) of the silaneamine(3- Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES). Finally anti-ochratoxin A antibodieswere immobilized on MLPs by amide bonding. Electrochemical measurements werecarried out using Mott-Schottky analysis for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection.Using application of competitive assay through immobilized fixed concentration of antigen (SA2BSA)and antibody (Ab 155) respectively was measured against different concentrations of sulfa pyridine(SPY), with and without use of MLPs with carboxylic group functionality. Biosensor sensitivityincreased, when MLPs were use

In Vivo Evaluation of Miconazole-Nitrate-Loaded Transethosomal Gel Using a Rat Model Infected with <i>Candida albicans</i>

Miconazole nitrate (MCNR), an antifungal drug, is used to treat superficial infections. The objective of the current study was to assess the antifungal effectiveness of MCNR-loaded transethosomal gel (MNTG) against Candida albicans in an in vivo rat model. The outcomes were compared with those of the miconazole nitrate gel (MNG) and marketed Daktarin® cream (2%) based on histopathological and hematological studies. The results of the skin irritation test revealed the safety profile of the MNTG. The MNTG demonstrated the greatest antifungal activity in the histological analysis and the visible restoration of the skin, and the rats revealed an apparent evidence of recovery. Compared to the untreated group, the treated group’s lymphocyte and white blood cells counts increased, but their eosinophil counts decreased. In conclusion, MNTG exhibited the greatest antifungal activity, which might be connected to the improved skin permeability of the transethosome’s nanosized vesicles. Therefore, it could be considered a promising carrier for topical usage and the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis. More clinical research needs to be performed in order to demonstrate its effectiveness and safe usage in humans

TGA and magnetization measurements for determination of composition and polymer conversion of magnetic hybrid particles

International audienceMagnetic hybrid colloidal particles can be characterized using various techniques and numerous tools leading generally to particles size, size distribution, and electrokinetic properties. However, the chemical composition of these hybrid particles can be estimated using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). More interestingly, the combination of this quantitative technique with the magnetization measurement leads not only to chemical composition but also to the overall polymerization conversion and more precisely to the polymerization conversion on the seed particles. In fact, the TGA performed on dried magnetic particles leads to exact organic/inorganic chemical composition. Regarding the magnetization, the amount of magnetic material can be deduced, and consequently, the amount of non-magnetic material can be also estimated. Thus, TGA and magnetization measurements are considered as complementary techniques for characterization of magnetic hybrid colloidal particles
