Abstract

Herein, a fluorescent nanosensor has been constructed for detection of glutathione (GSH) based on NH2-UiO-66 and AgNPs. The NH2-UiO-66 was synthesized where 2-amino-terephthalic acid as the organic ligand and Zr4+ as the center metal ions. The AgNPs can enhance the fluorescence of NH2-UiO-66 based on metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) effect. Moreover, in the present of GSH, the fluorescence of NH2-UiO-66@AgNPs was quenched via electrostatic interaction and Ag-S reaction. The present sensing strategy shows good linear relation with the concentration of GSH in the range of 0.2–1.0 μM and 1.0–30 μM, and the limit of detection is 79 nM. Furthermore, our fluorescent nanosensor was utilized to detect GSH in human serum with a recovery of 96.8–102.5%. The results indicated that NH2-UiO-66@AgNPs is successfully applied for high sensitive and selective detection of GSH in human serum.
