FRET Between Riboflavin and 9-Anthraldehyde Based Fluorescent Organic Nanoparticles Possessing Antibacterial Activity

Abstract

The aqueous suspension of fluorescent nanoparticles were prepared by using 9-anthradehdye derivative (AH). The nanoparticles (AHNPs) were characterized using DLS-zeta sizer and SEM techniques. The photo physical properties of nanoparticles and precursor were measured and compared using UV-absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime studies. The significant overlap between fluorescence spectrum of AHNPs and excitation spectrum of Riboflavin (RF) led us to explore Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) studies between AHNPs and RF in aqueous medium. The mechanism of FRET from AHNPs to RF discussed on spectral observations, thermodynamic parameters and changes produces in fluorescence lifetime in absence and presence of different concentrations of RF to AHNPs. The limit of detection for RF (0.071 µM) is considerably low compared with reported methods. Thus, we explore AHNPs as novel nano probe for quantitative determination of RF in pharmaceutical samples based on FRET study. In addition with this, AHNPs has excellent antibacterial activity than the bulk material for two different bacteria culture viz. E. coli and Bacillus sps. Graphical Abstract 9-anthradehdye based fluorescent nanoparticles (AHNPs) explores as nano probe to detect Riboflavin (RF) in aqueous medium based on Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) studies. The proposed analytical method successfully applied for quantitative determination of RF in pharmaceutical samples. In addition, with this, AHNPs has excellent antibacterial activity than the bulk material for two different bacteria culture suspension viz. E. coli and Bacillus sps.

Green transformation of biomass-derived Indian gooseberry into fluorescent intrinsic nitrogen-functionalized carbon quantum dots for real-time detection of vitamin B2 in the nanomolar range

“…The selectivity of N-CQDs for RF is based on the energy transfer that occurs only between these two moieties. 5,61–63 The FRET mechanism is operative between N-CQDs and RF (vitamin B 2 ) as clearly demonstrated due to a substantial overlap (Fig. 5b) between the emission of the donor (N-CQDs) and excitation of the acceptor (RF) probes.…”

Discriminating Chemosensor for Detection of Fe3+ in Aqueous Media by Fluorescence Quenching Methodology

“…If the relative intensities and relative lifetime change with the increasing concentrations of quencher then we call as a dynamic quenching. Moreover, if the lifetime is not affected by the increase in concentrations of quencher then there will be a phenomenon of purely static quenching . Figure shows fluorescence lifetime decay curves of chemosensor B (20 μM) in the absence and presence of 30, 50, and 80 μM of Fe 3+ ion solution.…”

Insights into the Antibacterial Activity of Prolactin-Inducible Protein against the Standard and Environmental MDR Bacterial Strains

“…The microdilution checkerboard method has been used to examine the synergistic activity of the PIP with the standard antibiotic AMP against Escherichia coli and Citrtobacter werkmanii . The procedure above was used for the MIC and synergistic activity [ 41 , 53 , 54 , 55 ].…”
