[EN] Mesoporous silica nanoparticles loaded with rhodamine B and capped with curcumin are used for the selective and sensitive fluorogenic detection of human serum albumin (HSA). The sensing mesoporous silica nanoparticles are loaded with rhodamine B, decorated with aminopropyl moieties and capped with curcumin. The nanoparticles selectively release the rhodamine B cargo in the presence of HSA. A limit of detection for HSA of 0.1 mg/mL in PBS (pH 7.4)-acetonitrile 95:5 v/v was found, and the sensing nanoparticles were used to detect HSA in spiked synthetic urine samples., This research was funded by the Spanish Government (RTI2018-100910-B-C41 (MCUI/FEDER, EU)) and the Generalitat Valenciana (PROMETEO 2018/024). I.O. was funded by Erasmus Mundus Programme, Action 2, Lot 1, Syria (predoctoral fellowship). S.M. was funded by Generalitat Valenciana (Santiago Grisolia fellowship).
