Abstract: Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. SPIONs are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as contrast agents and targeted delivery in nanomedicine using external magnet sources. SPIONs act as an artificial peroxidase (i.e., nanozyme), and these reactions were highly stable in various pH conditions and temperatures. In this study, we report a nanozyme ability of the clustered SPIONs (CSPIONs) synthesized by the oil-in-water (O/W) method and coated with biocom- patible poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). We hypothesize that the CSPIONs can have high sensitivity toward H
2O
2derived from the reaction between a fixed amount of glucose and glucose oxidase (GO
X). As a result, CSPIONs oxi- dized a 2,2 '-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) commonly used as a substrate for hydrogen peroxidase in the presence of H
2O
2, leading to a change in the color of the substrate. We also utilized a colorimetric assay at 417 nm using various glucose concentrations from 5 mM to 1.25 μM to validate β-D-glucose detection. This study demonstrated that the absorbance value increases along with increasing the glucose level. The results were highly repeated at concentrations below 5 mM (all standard deviations < 0.03). Moreover, the sensitivity and limit of detection were 1.50 and 5.44 μM, respectively, in which CSPIONs are more responsive to glucose than SPIONs. In conclusion, this study suggests that CSPIONs have the potential to be used for glucose detection in dia- betic patients using a physiological fluid such as ocular, saliva, and urine.

MRI 조영제, 그리고 고온 기반 암 파괴 등 의공학 분야에 널리 사용되고 있다[1-7]. 또한 SPIONs는 인조적인 과산화 효 소의 역할을 할 수 있다는 것이 보고되었다. SPIONs의 인 조 효소 역할은 몸에서 발현되는 실제 과산화 효소와 다르게 넓 은 온도 및 산성도(pH)에서 반응이 매우 안정적이며, 비교 적 값싼 비용으로 대량 합성할 수 있다는 장점이 있다[8-9].
