以巯基乙酸为稳定剂水相法一步合成了CdSe量子点,并以此量子点为荧光探针,基于甘草酸(GL)对量子点的荧光增强效应,建立了一种简便、快速、灵敏测定GL的分析方法,同时对GL与CdSe量子点的反应机理进行了初步探讨。考察了多种因素对GL测定的影响。结果表明,在pH7.4的Na2HPO4-NaH2PO4缓冲溶液中,当量子点的浓度为2.4×10~mol/L、反应时间为10min时,体系的相对荧光强度与GL的质量浓度呈良好线性,线性范围为5.0×10^-91.0×10^-7g/L,r=0.9980,检出限为4.8×10^-9g/L。该方法对实际样品中甘草酸的测定结果与标准药典方法相吻合。该研究结果预示量子点修饰的甘草酸靶向药物运载系统具有较好的示踪效果,对进一步研究甘草酸靶向运载体系具有一定意义。
Water-soluble CdSe quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized in aqueous solution with thioglycollie acid as stabilizer. By using CdSe QDs as fluorescent probe, based on the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of CdSe QDs by glycyrrhizin (GL), a simple, rapid and sensitive method for the determination of GL was proposed and validated. Forthermore, the possible mechanism of interaction between CdSe QDs and GL was discussed. Effects of experimental conditions were investigated. The optimal conditions were as follows : buffer: pH 7.4 Na2HPO4 - Nail2PQ solution, concentration of quantum dots: 2.4 × 10^-4 mol/L, reaction time: 10 min. Under the optimal condi- tions, a good linearity was obtained between fluorescence intensity and GL concentration in the range of 5.0 × 10^ -9 - 1.0 × 10 ^-7 g/L with a correlation coefficient of 0. 998 0. The obtained linear regression equation was: IF/IF0 = 1. 337 + 0. 014p( 10^-9 g/L) and the limit of detection was 4. 8 × 10^-9 g/L. The proposed method was successfully applied in the determination of GL in actual samples, and the results were in good agreement with that of the national standard method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The study indicated that the combination of QDs and GL produced a nice labelling effect, and it would be of considerable significance to the further investigation of GL targeted carrier system.
