Dopamine (DA) is a very imperative neurotransmitter in our body, since it contributes to several physiological processes in our body, for example, memory, feeling, cognition, cardiovascular diseases, and hormone secretion. Meanwhile, tyrosinase is a critical biomarker for several dangerous skin diseases, including vitiligo and melanoma cancer. Most of the reported chemiluminescent (CL) methods for monitoring DA and tyrosinase are signal-off biosensors.

A newly green method for the sensitive quantification of cloperastine, a cough suppressant, in spiked human plasma and its pharmaceutical formulation was designed for the first time. The established method depends on the enhancement of the weak fluorescence of cloperastine using 50 mM sulfuric acid to impair the photoinduced electron transfer produced from the nitrogen atom of piperidine moiety in cloperastine. This full protonation in an acid medium leads to an enhancement in the fluorescence of cloperastine, permitting its linear determination from 0.

Chemiluminescence (CL)-based analytical methods utilize luminophores that need to be activated with an oxidizing agent to trigger CL emission. Despite its susceptibility to decomposition when exposed to external light or trace metals, hydrogen peroxide (HO) has been widely used to develop chemiluminescent methods due to the limited number of suitable alternatives for activating chemiluminescent luminophores. Also, analytical methods based on the well-known luminol/HO CL system have low sensitivity.

The ability to determine antihistaminic drugs in biological matrices is critical for the medication adherence assessment. Among these antihistaminic medications, cyproheptadine (CPD); that is acting as a potent first-generation antihistaminic drug that has been extensively prescribed for allergic patients. Most of the established approaches for CPD detection are not appropriate for this purpose owing to their weak sensitivity, lack of rapidity, and complicated experimental procedures.

A new fluorimetric sensing method for the selective and sensitive quantification of nadifloxacin (antibacterial agent, NDF) was established for the first time. The introduced method relies on blocking the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effect of the nitrogen atom presented on the piperidine ring in NDF by fine-tuning the pH of the surrounding medium through its protonation using 0.5 M acetic acid.

In this work, a glutathione (GSH) sensing nano-platform using lucigenin as a fluorescent probe in the presence of MnO2 nanosheets was reported for the first time. Unlike the earlier fluorescent detection systems based on MnO2 nanosheets, which depend on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) or the dynamic quenching effect (DQE), the mechanism of the quenching process of MnO2 nanosheets on lucigenin fluorescence was attributed mainly to a static quenching effect (SQE) with a minor contribution of the inner filter effect (IFE). A double exponential fluorescence decay of lucigenin was obtained in various MnO2 nanosheet concentrations as a result of their SQE and IFE.
