Non-enzymatic Biosensor based on wasted photosensitive drugs

Title : Non-enzymatic Biosensor based on wasted photosensitive drugs

Abstract:

Due to the high purity of expired drugs, the present active sites on the structure of those can be used for specific health related applications in a sustainable way. The proposed presentation will show a novel study based on different expired drugs as non-enzymatic bioreceptor of glucose. Drugs were stabilized by sol-gel method as hydrogel bioreceptor and then, hydrogel was deposit on the semiconductor membrane as a transducer. After the structure fabrication, optical and electrical interactions due to dipole-dipole attractions between the structure and the analyte was measured. Sensitivity of the samples was able to generate interaction signal response. It was possible to observe a good affinity with receptor drug to offer cheap, sustainable, very promising and environmentally friendly technologies in support of health. The general objective is to obtain preliminary data to develop a non-enzymatic optical biosensor, to contribute to health while reusing expired drugs, and promotes an ecological pharmaceutical recycling and to offer a second time life.
