This study introduced a fluorescence donor material using Rhodamine-B-Isothiocyanate (RBITC)-doped silica nanoparticles (RDSN) combined with iron oxide‑gold nanostars (IOGNS) as a quencher. The composite aptasensor (RDSN/IOGNS) served as a Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) nanoprobe for sensitive and selective AFM1 detection.

The unique electronic configurations, and physical and chemical properties of aptamer-assembled gold nanoclusters (apt-AuNCs) as a novel type of fluorophore have gradually piqued the interest of the scientific community. Bending DNA sequences and other templates/legends as a stabilizing agent with Au metal has produced an abundance of biosensors, along with catalytic and imaging properties.

Furthermore, the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their possible anticholinesterase and antioxidant potentials. The compounds were synthesized by organocatalytic Michael additions of α-ketoesters to N-aryl maleimides.
