Description

Self-assembled redox polymers, sensors and methods of making the same
Technical Field
The invention relates to a self-assembled redox polymer, a sensor and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of medical diagnosis.
Background
With increasing standard of living, diabetic patients are also increasing year by year, early diagnosis, timely treatment, and continuous control are crucial to ensure quality of life for patients and to avoid circulatory problems caused by diabetes (such as renal failure, heart disease, and blindness). An enzymatic biosensor is a sensor that converts the biochemical reaction signal of an analyte into a measurable physical signal, such as a photoelectric signal, wherein the most studied biosensor is an amperometric glucose sensor.
The first generation of biosensing technology is to monitor glucose indirectly by detecting hydrogen peroxide or oxygen consumed during oxidation of glucose by electrochemical means. For example, guardian and iPro2 of Maidon force and Dexcom G5 and G6 of Dekang were developed based on the first generation biosensing technology, which monitors glucose by electrochemically detecting hydrogen peroxide generated by glucose oxidase during catalytic oxidation. Because the electrochemical method for detecting hydrogen peroxide has very strict requirements on electrodes, only very few materials such as uranium and uranium alloy can be used for manufacturing the glucose biosensor, the cost of the sensor of the implantable continuous glucose monitoring system is greatly increased. In addition, electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide requires a higher detection potential, thereby greatly reducing the anti-interference capability of the implantable continuous glucose monitoring system, particularly for commonly used antipyretics such as acetaminophen.
The second generation of biosensing technology is to implement direct electrochemical detection of glucose by introducing a redox mediator into the glucose biosensor. Unlike common protein molecules, glucose oxidase has a large molecular weight (160 kDa), its molecular structure, particularly the steric structure of the catalytic active center, is very complex, and is located inside glucose oxidase and deeply surrounded by various skin chains. Glucose oxidase cannot directly exchange electrons with the electrode. Heller et al (Acc. Chem. Res.23 (1990) 128-134) found that the incorporation of redox species redox mediators (redox small molecules such as iron fluorides or redox macromolecules) with which glucose oxidase can exchange electrons with electrodes was incorporated into glucose biosensors. However, because the redox mediator is a small molecule or a high molecular material, the preparation of the redox mediator is difficult to be controlled accurately, and meanwhile, the possibility that the redox mediator seeps out of the implantable glucose biosensor also exists, so that more uncertainty is brought to the performance of the implantable continuous glucose monitoring system.
The enzyme layer of the sensor in the current continuous blood glucose monitoring (CGM) in the market needs to be solidified by a cross-linking agent, such as glutaraldehyde, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) and the like, but the method has the advantages of slow cross-linking solidification, introduction of toxic small molecules which are easy to leak, and the risk of leakage of the unreacted complete cross-linking agent.
Citation 1 discloses an oxidoreductase having improved electrochemical activity and a biosensor comprising the same, which uses a chemical crosslinking method and is considered that chemically crosslinked glucose oxidase still maintains their direct electrochemical activity, for example, glutaraldehyde chemically crosslinked glucose biosensor comprising modified glucose oxidase exhibits good electrochemical performance on an electrode and is a typical surface electrochemical phenomenon. However, it does not take into account the risk of leakage of chemical crosslinking agents such as glutaraldehyde, which are slow to crosslink and cure.
Reference 2 discloses an electrochemical biosensor comprising carbon nanotubes for measuring biological signals and a method of manufacturing the same. The electrochemical biosensor for continuous glucose monitoring includes an electrode to which a sensing film including an oxidoreductase, an electron transfer medium, and a crosslinking agent is fixed together with a carbon nanotube, wherein the oxidoreductase oxidizes a target substance, and electrons thus generated during the oxidation are transferred through the electron transfer medium and the carbon nanotube. The electrochemical biosensor also does not consider the risk of leakage of chemical crosslinking agents such as glutaraldehyde and the like, which are slow to crosslink and solidify.
