Abstract:

Gentamicin (GEN), an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is widely used in treating infections within the livestock industry but readily causes food residues and environmental pollution. This study developed a novel water-soluble supramolecular fluorescent probe DBTPy²⁺@Q[8], through host-guest interactions between the methylpyridine-modified benzothiophene cationic fluorophore (DBTPy²⁺) and cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]). This enabled specific GEN recognition and detection via the fluorescence indicator displacement (FID) mechanism. The DBTPy²⁺-Q[8] assembly induced significant fluorescence quenching, while GEN addition rapidly restored fluorescence. The restored intensity exhibited a good linear relationship with GEN concentration in the range of 0.1-10 μM (R² = 0.996), with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.206 μM. The probe exhibited good selectivity and anti-interference capability, achieving 92.0%-104.1% spiked recoveries in water and food samples, and enabled specific GEN fluorescence imaging in living cells. This work establishes a novel supramolecular host-guest strategy for fluorescent probes enabling rapid, quantitative, specific GEN detection.

FISH - Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization

23.8K

Fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, was developed in the early 1980s and has quickly become one of the most widely used techniques in cytogenetics. Labeled probes are used to bind complementary DNA or RNA sequences on a chromosome or in a region within a cell. Earlier, the probes could only be obtained by cloning or reverse transcription of a DNA template. Currently, the probe oligonucleotides can be synthesized synthetically. Additionally, with the advancement of optical techniques,...
