Zirconium-amino acid framework as a green phosphatase-like nanozyme for the selective detection of phosphate-containing drugs

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Jan 24;59(8):1098-1101. doi: 10.1039/d2cc06606h.

Abstract

The zirconium-amino acid framework MIP-202(Zr) was reported as a green phosphatase-like nanozyme for the first time. Moreover, its phosphatase-like activity can be inhibited by phosphate-containing drugs. Based on this finding, a universal fluorimetric strategy for sensing phosphate-containing drugs was developed. The detection limit was as low as 2 ng mL-1 for the model drug alendronate sodium. This strategy exhibits excellent selectivity over other non-phosphate-containing drugs and will broaden the applications of phosphatase-like nanozymes in clinical pharmacy.
