Preparation method and application of saxitoxin molecularly imprinted nano fluorescent material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of analytical chemistry and material science, in particular to a preparation method of saxitoxin molecularly imprinted nano fluorescent material.
Background
Saxixin dihydrochloride (STX) is one of the most toxic marine toxins currently known, and was first discovered in mussels, california, and substances similar in chemical structure to STX were later isolated from gonyaulax catenella. STX is a derivative of tetrahydropurine, belonging to the marine toxamines. STX blocks Na on neuronal cells and cell sarcolemmas+Passage, block Na+The internal flow and thus the neuromuscular transmission are disturbed, and the voluntary muscle is relaxed and paralyzed, so the STX is classified as paralytic shellfish poison. Saxixin dihydrochloride (STX), one of the currently known marine toxins with the highest toxicity, inhibits nerve conduction by affecting sodium ion channels, and clinically mainly causes nervous system and innervation disorders, which makes toxic diagnosis difficult. In particular, STX has a strong resistance to high temperature and acidic environment, and cannot be damaged by general processing, thereby seriously affecting food safety. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of aquatic products and the health of human beings, the enhancement of the detection of saxitoxin is urgently needed, and particularly, a rapid detection technology is developed.
At present, the rapid detection technology for saxitoxin is mainly an immunoassay technology, and particularly, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is widely applied by the advantages of strong specificity, high sensitivity, low cost and the like, but has the defects of long antibody preparation period, animal experiment requirement, low stability and the like. The molecular imprinting artificial antibody has the advantages of better specificity with biological antibodies, simple synthesis, good stability and the like, and is highly valued. However, since saxitoxin is expensive, the conventional molecular imprinting technique requires a large amount of template molecules, and STX structural analogs are not easily available, resulting in high synthesis cost and unsuitability for the preparation of STX molecularly imprinted polymers. Therefore, the development of an STX molecularly imprinted nano fluorescent material is urgently needed, so that the usage amount of template molecules is effectively reduced, the preparation cost is obviously reduced, and the rapid detection of STX in shellfish samples is realized.
