RESUMO
Markers of myocardial injury, such as myoglobin (Mb), are substances swiftly released into the peripheral bloodstream upon myocardial cell injury or altered cardiac activity. During the onset of acute myocardial infarction, patients experience a significant surge in serum Mb levels. Given this, precise detection of Mb is essential, necessitating the development of innovative assays to optimize detection capabilities. This study introduces the synthesis of a three-dimensional hierarchical nanocomposite, Cubic-ZIF67@Au-rGOF-NH2, utilizing aminated reduced graphene oxide and zeolite imidazolium ester framework-67 (ZIF67) as foundational structures. Notably, this novel material, applied in a label-free electrochemical immunosensor, presents a groundbreaking approach for detecting myocardial injury markers. Experimental outcomes revealed ZIF67 and AuNPs exhibit enhanced affinity and growth on the 3D-rGOF-NH2 matrix, thus amplifying electrical conductivity while preserving the inherent electrochemical attributes of ZIF67. As a result, the Cubic-ZIF67@Au-rGOF-NH2 label-free electrochemical immunosensor exhibited a broad detection range and high sensitivity for Mb. The derived standard curve was ΔIp = 16.67552lgC+275.245 (R = 0.993) with a detection threshold of 3.47 fg/ml. Moreover, recoveries of standards spiked into samples ranged between 96.3% and 108.7%. Importantly, the devised immunosensor retained notable selectivity against non-target proteins, proving its potential clinical utility based on exemplary sample analysis performance.
