The early detection of Parkinson's disease (PD) is important for improving treatment and quality of life. A key metabolite, 5-S-Cysteinyl-dopamine (CDA), can be detected using label-free SERS spectroscopy with a simple and sensitive approach. This study shows the potential of using SERS to detect CDA in aqueous solutions and artificial biofluids, with the ability to identify low concentrations of CDA. This technique can significantly improve the sensitive detection of CDA as a biomarker for further analytical studies and clinical diagnosis in PD patients.
The early detection of Parkinson's disease (PD) can significantly improve treatment and quality of life in patients. 5-S-Cysteinyl-dopamine (CDA) is a key metabolite of high relevance for the early detection of PD. Therefore, its sensitive detection with fast and robust methods can improve its use as a biomarker. In this work we show the potentialities of label-free SERS spectroscopy in detecting CDA in aqueous solutions and artificial biofluids, with a simple, fast and sensitive approach. We present a detailed experimental SERS band assignment of CDA employing silver nanoparticle (AgNP) substrates in aqueous media, which was supported by theoretical calculations and simulated Raman and SERS spectra. The tentative orientation of CDA over the AgNP was also studied, indicating that catechol and carboxylic acid play a key role in the metallic surface adsorption. Moreover, we showed that SERS can allow us to identify CDA in aqueous media at low concentration, leading to the identification of some of its characteristic bands in pure water and in synthetic cerebrospinal fluid (SCSF) below 1 x 10(-8) M, while its band identification in simulated urine (SUR) can be reached at 1 x 10(-7) M. In conclusion, we show that CDA can be suitably detected by means of label-free SERS spectroscopy, which can significantly improve its sensitive detection for further analytical studies as a novel biomarker and further clinical diagnosis in PD patients.
