Abstract

:
In the present study, a new biosensor based on lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL) was developed for amlodipine besylate drug (AMD) with biodegradable material using a mixture of polyaniline iron oxide and gelatin. Polyaniline/Fe2O3 (PANI@Fe2O3) was prepared by a chemical polymerization method in a medium of ammonium persulfate as an oxidant and characterized by employing Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and Ultra-violet (UV) spectroscopy. The purified enzyme was entrapped in the biocomposite matrix film with the aid of a glutaraldehyde cross-linking reagent to establish the immobilization of the lipase. The principle of the biosensor is based on the electrochemical properties of amlodipine besylate (AMD), which were studied for the first time using the cyclic voltammetric method. The cathodic behavior of AMD was measured on the irreversible reduction signal at −0.185 V versus Ag/AgCl at pH 7.4 and 30 °C in a phosphate alkaline buffer.

1. Introduction

Over the past few decades, biosensors have emerged from the laboratories into the everyday life of millions of people around the world. Like some other sensors, they were first developed for the detection of particular low-molecular species, e.g., metabolites or disease biomarkers, of importance for clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutics, and the healthcare industry [1]. Biosensors have been developed and used in a wide variety of analytical fields, including environmental monitoring, chemical, physics, and biotechnology research, etc.
Conducting polymers have attracted much attention in the development of efficient biosensors. Their unique electroactive properties allow them to act as excellent substrates for the immobilization of biomolecules and rapid transfer of electrons [2,3,4,5,6]. Amongst the various conducting polymers, polyaniline (PANI) has been extensively studied as an important conducting material that possesses interesting electrical, electrochemical, and optical properties. The potential applications of PANI include corrosion, secondary batteries, electrochromic devices, and biosensors. In recent years, the preparation of hybrid nanocomposites with both magnetic and electrical properties has received great attention in the industrial and academic fields. Magnetic nanoparticles have been considered interesting materials for the immobilization of desired biomolecules because of their biocompatibility, strong superparamagnetic property, low toxicity, etc. [7,8]. For instance, nanocomposites based on conducting polymers and magnetic nanoparticles are some of the most widely studied materials.
Enzymatic biosensors based on polymerized films constitute an important field of pharmaceutical research [9,10]. Enzymes interact specifically with some substrates, and can thus be used for the detection of these substrates. The lipase produced by Candida rugosa is one of the most commonly used enzymes in organic solvents owing to its high activity in hydrolysis, esterification, transesterification, aminolysis, and biosensing [11,12,13].
Cardiovascular drugs are among the most prescribed medications nowadays since various cardiovascular diseases are predominant in developed countries worldwide. In this group, the most important drugs are antihypertensives, cardiotonics, antiarrhythmics, anticoagulants, coronary vasodilators, and hypolipemics. Since nifedipine was introduced in Germany in 1975 by Bayer AG [14], many other products such as nicardipine, nilvadipine, nitrendipine, foridone, nimodipine, benidipine, manidipine, amlodipine, felodipine, and lercanidipine have appeared on the market [15].
Amlodipine, chemically, 2-[(2-aminoethoxy)methyl]-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 3-ethyl,5-methylester, besylate (Figure 1) [15], is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, which acts only on the L-type channel to produce its pharmacological effect [16]. Like most dihydropyridine derivatives, it has greater selectivity for vascular smooth muscle than for myocardial tissue, and therefore its main effect is vasodilatation. Amlodipine is used alone or in combination with other medicines for the treatment of chronic stable angina and certain types of vasospastic angina, and in the management of mild to moderate essential hypertension.
Several methods, based on various analytical techniques, have been described in the literature for the determination of amlodipine besylate in pure form as well as in chemistry laboratory formulations, pharmaceutical formulations, and biological fluids. They include spectrophotometric methods [17,18], spectrofluorometric methods [19], high-performance thin-layer chromatography [20], high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [21,22], liquid chromatography (LC) [23], gas chromatography (GC) [24], capillary electrophoresis [25], flow injection analysis [26], and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [27].
Although these methods have high sensitivity, they are unfortunately multistep, time-consuming processes, requiring extensive pretreatment of the sample and qualification for rapid detection. In recent years, there has been increased attention focused on developing electroanalytical methods for amlodipine (AMD) analysis using gold electrodes [28], pyrolytic graphite (PG) [29], glassy carbon (GC), or carbon paste [30,31]. Considerable attention has been focused on the chemical modification of microelectrodes in order to enhance electroanalytical performance. Graphene–chitosan (GC) nanocomposite [32] and a multi-walled carbon nanotube-modified carbon paste [33] have been developed recently. In addition, boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes have been fabricated [34,35].
In the present work, we described the synthesis of polyaniline with iron oxide composites for fabrication in the presence of a gelatin substrate for the immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL), and then used this modified platinum electrode in amlodipine biosensor detection. The polyaniline was characterized with SEM micrography, FTIR and UV-vis spectroscopy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fabrication of polyaniline and gelatin for an amlodipine biosensor based on Candida rugosa lipase. In addition, the experimental conditions for fabrication and analytical performance of the biosensor were optimized with electrochemical methods. Finally, we investigated the performance of the amlodipine biosensor, based on pH and the temperature of the buffer solution.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Polyaniline Iron Oxide Characterization

2.1.1. Polyaniline Iron Oxide Scanning with SEM Micrography

Figure 2a,b show the SEM micrographs displaying the surface morphology of conducting PANI@Fe2O3 composites synthesized by the chemical oxidative method, in which a uniform in the surface of polyaniline was observed. The uniform distribution of Fe2O3 contained uniform particles that indicated the good dispersion of iron oxide on the rice straw surface.
In addition, the presence of iron oxide nanoparticles with good dispersion of Fe2O3 on the surface of polyaniline has a strong influence on various electrical parameters of these nanocomposites.

2.1.2. FTIR Spectral Characterization

Infrared transmission spectroscopy (FTIR) has been widely used to examine conducting polymers. Figure 3a shows the FTIR spectra of PANI@Fe2O3. The bands at 1599 and 1498 cm−1 of PANI (curve a) correspond to the stretching mode of C–N and C–C of quinoid and benzenoid rings. The bands at 1298 and 1242 cm−1 are attributed to the C–N stretching mode of the benzenoid ring, and the signal at 1168 cm−1 is assigned to the protonated PANI (N–H). The presence of a sharp and strong band at 592–588 cm−1 indicates the presence of Fe–O stretching vibrations. This indicates the formation of polymer composites [36]. The FTIR spectrum of Fe2O3 is shown in Figure 3b, with characteristic peaks originating from the Fe–O vibration in the range of 400–600 cm−1. The FTIR spectra of the PANI@Fe2O3 composites showed bands at 831 and 881 cm−1, which are characteristic peaks of PANI. The peak at 684 cm−1 is usually assigned to the C–H out of plane bending in PANI.

2.1.3. UV Spectroscopy

The UV-vis absorption spectra of PANI/Fe2O3 composite dispersions are shown in Figure 4. The typical absorption spectrum of PANI dispersions has two distinct absorption peaks at 342 and 683 nm after fitting (Figure 4). The peak at 343 nm arises from π–π* electron transition within benzenoid segments, and the wide peak at 683 nm is related to the doping level of polyaniline with iron oxide.

2.2. Electrochemical Characteristics of the Electrode Surface

The cyclic voltammograms of soluble electro active species provide a convenient tool to monitor the various stages of the biosensor buildup on the Pt electrode.
Figure 5A shows the cyclic voltammograms of the 5 mM [Fe(CN)6]4−/3− probe for the bare platinum and modified Pt electrodes in PBS, pH 7.2, at a scan rate of 50 mVs−1. The Pt surface was modified with polyaniline bio-film (PANI@Fe2O3-Ge-GA-CRL). It can be seen that, for a bare Pt electrode, a characteristic quasi-reversible redox cycle with anodic and cathodic peak currents was obtained. When the Pt surface was functionalized with PANI@Fe2O3 and lipase enzymes, the electron transfer between the redox probe and the modified surface was changed. As a result, an obvious decrease of the anodic and the cathodic peaks was observed, leading to a high ΔEp and indicating the formation of a bioactive layer.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy can also give detailed information on the dielectric constant and the barrier properties of the deposit layer changes. Figure 5B shows the impedance spectra of the bare and the modified platinum electrode. The bare Pt electrode reveals a very small semicircle, implying a very low electron transfer resistance (Ret) of the redox probe. When the electrode is modified with PANI@Fe2O3-Ge-GA-CRL film, the Ret increases significantly. The deposit film was defined with negatively charged (COO) of the enzyme (amino acids containing carboxyl (–COOH) functional groups), which acts as an electrostatic barrier that resists the [Fe(CN)6]4−/3− redox probe and hinders its ability to diffuse into the layer. This phenomenon probably results from the inhibition of the electron transfer kinetics between the redox probe and the surface of the modified electrode.

2.3. Cyclic Voltammetry Study of the Biosensor

2.3.1. Concentration Effect

The electrochemical response of AMD was studied by performing cyclic voltammetry in a solution containing between 10−12 and 10−6 M of AMD at the CRL-PANI@Fe2O3/Ge-Pt electrode. The cyclic voltammograms recorded at this electrode are shown in Figure 6. The cyclic voltammetry plots of AMD show a prominent cathodic peak at ≈−0.18 V, while no anodic peak is observed in the reverse scan, indicating the irreversible reduction of AMD at the electrode surface.
A calibration curve was plotted between the magnitude of current response and logarithm of amlodipine concentration (Figure 7). A linear dependent relation was observed, which followed the equation:
Y = 7.6 × 10−2 + 3.5 × 10−3 .log (AMD concentration); R = 0.993.
The electrochemical amlodipine lipase sensor developed by us exhibited a wide linearity from 10−12 M to 10−5 M (on a logarithmic scale), as well as a low detection limit of 10−12 M with a regression coefficient of 0.993.

2.3.2. Proposed Reaction Mechanism for Amlodipine

The kinetic of catalytic reaction of the enzyme is one of the most important parts in the development of a biosensor.
For this purpose, kinetics were investigated in order to provide detailed information on the elementary reaction steps of the hydrolysis of the 1,4-dihydropyridine class (including the amlodipine substrate used in our study) by lipase. These 1,4-DHPs, including nifedipine and amlodipine, were subjected to enzymatic kinetic resolution via hydrolysis in the presence of lipases in water saturated with organic solvent [37,38].
In 1992, lipase was observed in the hydrolysis of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives by Hirose et al. A new series of 4-aryl-1,4-dihyropyridines are being used as substrates for many enzymes to obtain enantiopure compounds. The enzymatic hydrolysis of Candida rugosa by purified lipase has been investigated using 1,4-dihyropyridine diester as a substrate [39].
Lipase from Pseudomonas sp. catalyzed the hydrolysis of ethoxycarbonylmethyl esters of 1,4-DHP through the splitting of both ‘outer’ and ‘inner’ ester groups to give the corresponding carboxylic acid or methyl ester [40].
In addition, the hydrolysis of of 4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-DHP was carried out by Holdgrun and Sih (1991) and Sih et al. (1992) in phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 with different lipases. When the reaction medium was n-butanol/water (10:1), the lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis proceeded with good enantioselectivity. The degradation of diesters was achieved through a two-step reaction (Scheme 1); the first step produced monoacids, and prolongation of the reaction time led to achiral di-acids [41,42].
Using t-butyl methyl ether as the solvent in addition to methanol as the nucleophile for Pseudomonas lipase and water as the nucleophile for C. rugosa lipase (CRL), the transformations of 1,4-DHPs were investigated (Scheme 2) [43].
In our study, we used amlodipine as the substrate for Candida rugosa lipase. The enzymatic kinetics of the hydrolysis reaction were studied using CV with varied substrate concentrations. We only observed one peak on the first negative scan at a potential of about −0.18 V (SCE), with no reversal peak in the positive scan. The one irreversible peak shown in this study indicated that only one dominant reaction occurs. We are able to propose the mechanism of the enzymatic transformations (Scheme 3).

2.3.3. Scan Rate Effect

The effect of scan rate on the peak current was studied by performing CV in 1.0 × 10−6 M AMD at various scan rates ranging from 50 to 200 mVs−1 (Figure 8). The CV plots show an increase in the cathodic peak current with the increasing scan rate, with a shift in the peak potential to more negative values. These studies showed irreversible chemical behavior at the surface of the bioactive layer. Furthermore, the cathodic peak current shows a linear dependence on the square root of the scan rate, implying that the electrochemical reduction of AMD at the electrode surface is diffusion-controlled (Figure 8). A fit to the current gives the following regression equation:
Ip = −0.03 + 0.01161⋅ʋ1/2, R = 0.998.

2.4. Optimization of Working Conditions

2.4.1. pH Effect on Biosensor Response

Generally, the effect of pH of the supporting electrolyte on the current response of the monitored analyte plays an important part in its detection and quantification [44]. The pH of the medium has an important role in biosensor studies for obtaining the best biosensor response. In order to determine the effect of the pH value on the biosensor response, different buffer systems were investigated. Phosphate buffers containing 1.0 × 10−6 M AMD were used in the experiments and all of the buffers had a concentration of 50 mM. From the experiments, the optimum pH value was found to be 7.4 (Figure 9). The response at pH 7.4 was set to 100%. Below and above pH 7.4, decreases were observed in the biosensor response.

2.4.2. Effect of Temperature on Biosensor Response

To determine the influence of temperature on the response of the biosensor, experiments were carried out between 25 and 50 °C under the best working conditions obtained from the optimization studies. Results are given in Figure 10. The results showed that the best biosensor response was obtained at 35 °C. Below and above this temperature, decreases in the biosensor response were recorded.

3. Experimental

3.1. Apparatus

The electrochemical experiments were conducted using an EC-Lab SP Modular Research Grade Potentiostat/Galvanostat, and the software EC-Lab was used for the treatment of the data and the control of the experiments. A three-electrode cell was used to study the electrochemical behavior of this material via cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS); the reference electrode was a saturated calomel electrode (SCE), a platinum wire with a diameter of 1 mm was used as the auxiliary electrode, and the working electrode was a plate with an area of 0.5 cm2. In dynamic measurements, impedance data was obtained at an AC amplitude of 10 mV and a frequency range varying from 100 Hz to 100 kHz. The experiments were performed in a dark faraday box to eliminate electrical interferences.

3.2. Chemicals and Reagents

All chemicals were commercially available and used as received. Candida rugosa lipase, purchased from Sigma Chemical Life Science (JABAN, Tiemcen, Algeria), was used for experiments without further purification. Aqueous solutions (25% w/v) of glutaraldehyde (GA) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, hydrogenchloride (HCl), monomer aniline, ammonium persulfate ((NH4)2S2O4, APS), iron oxide (Fe2O3), and gelatin. Pure amlodipine besylate was obtained from MM LABORATOIRES (Annaba, Algeria). The buffer solution used for all experiments was phosphate buffered saline (PBS), containing 140 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 0.1 mM Na2HPO4, and 1.8 mM KH2PO4, with a pH of 7.4. The reagents were of analytical grade and used as purchased without any further pretreatment. All solutions were prepared using demineralized water.

3.3. Preparation of PANI/Iron Oxide

The synthesis of PANI-iron oxide was carried out using a chemical polymerization method. For the activation of the aniline molecule, aniline monomer (0.1 M) was mixed in 1 M HCl and stirred for 15 min to form aniline hydrochloride (Solution A). Then, 0.2 g Fe2O3 microspheres were added as a mass fraction to the above solution with vigorous stirring in order to keep the iron oxide homogeneously suspended in the solution and subsequently sonicated for 30 min, resulting in a homogeneous mixture. To this solution, 0.1 M ammonium persulfate activated by 1 M HCl (Solution B), which acts as an oxidizer, was slowly added dropwise with continuous stirring at 4–5 °C for 5 h to completely polymerize the mixture (Scheme 4). The precipitate was filtered, washed with deionized water and acetone, and finally dried in an oven for 24 h to achieve a constant mass [44,45].

3.4. Electrode Modification and Immobilization of the Enzyme Candida rugosa Lipase

For the construction of the bioactive layer, the Pt electrodes were polished on a piece of velvet with alumina slurry, washed thoroughly with distilled water, and then sonicated for 5 min in ethanol and distilled water, respectively. Two milligrams of PANI@Fe2O3 and 3 mg of gelatin were dissolved in 100 μL (pH 7.4) of a 50 mM phosphate buffer at 40 °C. Then, 80 μL of the solution was dispersed on the Pt electrode surface, and allowed to dry for 30 min at 4 °C. For cross-linking, the electrode surface was immersed in glutaraldehyde solution (5% v/v) for 5 min. Then, 5 mg Candida rugosa lipase were immobilized on the surface of the electrode. Finally, the electrode was rinsed with distilled water to eliminate the excess glutaraldehyde (Scheme 5).

4. Conclusions

Conducting polyaniline@Fe2O3 composites have been synthesized successfully by a simple chemical procedure. The FTIR analysis confirms the chemical structure of PANI@Fe2O3. UV-vis spectra confirm the formation of doped polymers.
The present study showed that the CRL/Ge-PANI@Fe2O3-modified Pt electrode was a very good candidate for the construction of a sensitive CRL biosensor for AMD analysis. The cathodic behavior of AMD was measured on the irreversible reduction signal at −0.185. It would be interesting to investigate other biosensors based on lipase for the analysis of 1,4-DHPs drugs.
