Abstract:
Fluorescent sensor materials for rapidly and conveniently detecting polyamines in biological fluids are highly desirable for cancer diagnosis. We herein describe the hybridization of a supramolecular hydrogel with a layered inorganic host adsorbing a fluorescent dye which produces a fluorocolorimetric sensor for spermine and spermidine, important biomarkers for cancers, in artificial urine.
