Abstract
Ascorbic acid (AA), one of the most important vitamins, acts a critical role in various physiological reactions and is involved in many diseases. Thus, the development of highly selectivity methods for detecting AA level with the presence of different reducing substances is of great significance in complicated serum matrix. In this paper, a non-oxidation reduction regulation (NRR) strategy was designed to construct a novel dual-ratio fluorescence and colorimetric dual-readout assay for highly selective detection of AA. The strategy involves three processes: Ag+ oxidated o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to 2,3-diaminophenazine (OPDox), AA inhibited the generation of OPDox and the AA was oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA). The specific performance of DHAA NRR, due to the condensation reaction between dicarbonyl group of DHAA and diamine group of OPD, that is confirmed by ESI-MS and 1H NMR spectra analysis, can remarkably enhance the selectivity of AA detection. Additionally, the proposed method based on NRR strategy not only provides a sensing platform for probing AA but also shows promising outlook in biomedical studies.
