ABSTRACT: The screening strategy based on α-glucosidase inhibition has been widely employed for the discovery of anti-diabetic drugs, but it still faces some challenges in practical applications, such as poor stability of enzyme, high consumption of test compounds, low sensitivity of screening methods and so on. In this work, a bifunctional hybrid enzymecatalytic metal organic framework reactor (GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF) with a flower-shaped globular structure was innovatively prepared via selfassembling of α-glucosidase (GAA), glucose oxidase (GOx), Cu2+ and 4,4’-bipyridine. It was found that GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF not only enjoyed merits of high stability, selectivity and sensitivity, but also possessed the character of assembly line work, with about 4.58 times enhanced enzyme activity compared with the free enzyme system. Based on the above characteristics, a highly sensitive screening of GAA inhibitors could be achieved with the detection limit of 7.05 nM for acarbose. Furthermore, the proposed method was successfully applied to the screening of oleanolic 1

acid derivatives as potential anti-diabetic drugs. Therefore, it was expected that this work could provide new insights and inspirations for the screening of clinical anti-diabetic drugs and for further exploration of functional MOF composites. KEYWORDS: hybrid enzyme MOF reactor, α-glucosidase, glucose oxidase, colorimetric sensing, anti-diabetic drug screening INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus characterized by high a blood sugar level has become one of the most common chronic diseases with the highest substantial incidence around the world,1-3 and has shown an exponential growth in recent years.4-6 Recently, it was estimated that there were 425 million people with diabetes worldwide, and the number will be projected to 642 million by 2040.7-8 Moreover, diabetes will cause many complications, such as kidney failure, heart disease, microangiopathy, stroke, retinopathy and so on.3,7, 9 After years of research, considerable drugs have been developed to treat diabetes, in which α-glucosidase inhibitor is considered to be one of the most important drugs for the treatment of diabetes. Studies have shown that it could delay the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine by inhibiting the activity of α-glucosidase, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the postprandial blood glucose level of the patient.10-11 However, the methods for α-glucosidase (GAA) inhibitors screening remain to be poorly investigated.

hyperglycemic animal models and in vitro screening (p-nitrophenyl-α-Dglucopyranoside (PNPG) as substrate) are currently two most commonly used approaches, but they suffer from long experimental time, high cost, high consumption of test compounds and low sensitivity.12-13 In order to overcome the above drawbacks, researchers have developed various biosensors based on fluorescent, colorimetric or electrochemical method for the detection of GAA inhibitors. Although these methods have obtained satisfactory short detection time, high sensitivity and less sample consumption, the poor stability of GAA, narrow optimum pH ranges and low tolerance to many metal ions have limited their further applications. Moreover, enzymes themselves may be a source of contamination in the desired product.9,11,13 Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop a screening method with superb stability, suitability, selectivity and sensitivity in practical applications. Immobilized enzyme is effective to enhance stability, suitability, and recyclability of enzyme,14-15 but it generally exhibits lower apparent substrate affinity and catalytic activity than native enzyme.16-17 In order to overcome the above limitations, researchers have shifted their attention to metal-organic frameworks (MOF), which possess large surface area and tunable porous structure and properties in recent years.18-19 It has been demonstrated that MOF hosts not only possessed higher loading efficiency and superior shielding effect than conventional enzyme hosts, but also 3

could improve the catalytic performance of corresponding enzyme.20-24 However, the current studies were mainly focused on improving the actual performance of a single enzyme (such as acetylcholinesterase,25 glucose oxidase,26 OPPA,27-28 Cyt c,29-30 catalase31 and so on) by MOF immobilization, and the examples of multiple enzyme immobilizing simultaneously on MOF were quite rare. To the best of our knowledge, the multi-enzyme systems having been reported were GOx@HRP,24,32 GFP@lipase33 and MP-11@Cyt c,34 while studies on screening αglucosidase inhibitors via simultaneously immobilizing GAA and glucose oxidase (GOX) on MOF have not been reported yet. Moreover, it has been reported that self-assembly of GOx (0.1 mg/mL),17 GOx-HRP (0.25 mg/mL)2,35 or GOx-GAA (0.25 mg/mL)4 with Cu2+ (6 mM) into enzyme@inorganic nanoreactors could improve the affinity of enzyme and substrate,17 detection sensitivity (glucose)2,35 and enzyme catalytic activity.4 Furthermore, Cu-MOF has been confirmed to possess inherent peroxidase-mimic activity, so they are capable of catalyzing the oxidation reaction of the chromogenic substrate 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2.36-38 Therefore, they are expected to replace HRP to reduce cost in bioanalysis applications. In the present study, a new method was innovatively proposed for sensitive screening of α-glucosidase inhibitors based on the dual-functional hybrid enzyme-catalytic MOF reactor mediated colorimetric sensing 4

strategy. Herein, GAA, GOx, Cu2+ and 4,4’-bipyridine were self-assembled to form a spherical hybrid enzyme-MOF reactor with a flower-shaped structure. Maltose was selected as the initial substrate for the reactor, and the absorbance of oxTMB was taken as the signal output. With the operation of the hybrid enzyme reactor, one molecule of maltose was sequentially hydrolyzed and oxidized into two molecules of H 2O2, which was followed by oxidation of TMB to oxTMB with the catalysis of CuMOF. The hybrid enzyme-MOF reactor mediated colorimetric sensing strategy was achieved based on the change in the amount of produced oxTMB. When the inhibitor was introduced into the reactor, the discharge of H2O2 was hindered, resulting in the inhibition of TMB oxidation. Based on those principles, screening of GAA inhibitor could be easily achieved (Scheme 1). Since no toxic elements, extreme harsh conditions and complicated covalent-linkage procedures were involved in the preparation process of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF, the immobilized GAA and GOx could maintain their original catalytic activity and apparent affinity for the substrate in addition to its enhanced stability, reusability and interference resistance. Furthermore, this sensing method was successfully utilized for GAA inhibitors screening from natural product derivatives.

After a rest at 4 °C for 10 min, 4 mL 4,4’-bipyridyl ethanol aqueous solution was added to trigger the formation of the reactor. Next, the mixture was rested at 4 °C for 12 h followed by centrifugation (10 000 rpm, 4 °C, 5 min) with the supernatant to be removed. Finally, the precipitate was washed three times with 4 mL of ultrapure water and dispersed in 2 mL ultrapure water. Determination of Enzyme Loading Amount. The total enzyme amount loaded in Cu-MOF host was evaluated by classic BCA assay,38 and the GAA amount loaded in Cu-MOF host was determined as follows: (1) 10 μL GAA with different concentrations (125, 62.5, 31.25, 15.63, 7.81, 3.91 μg/mL) and 100 μL 100 mM excessive PNPG were mixed in 96-well plate and incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. Then 100 μL Na 2CO3 (1 M) was added before measuring the absorbance of well at 405 nm. (2) Standard curve was fitted with GAA concentration (mg/mL) as the abscissa and absorbance value as the ordinate. (3) 20 μL GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF was incubated with 100 μL 100 mM PNPG at 37 °C for 30 min and followed by the adding of 100 μL 1 M Na2CO3 to terminate the reaction. After that, the absorbance of well was measured at 405 nm and the GAA amount loaded in Cu-MOF host was calculated according to the standard curve. Cu-MOF and free enzyme system were taken as the control. The loading ratio was calculated as follows:

In this work, the enzymatic Michaelis-Menten kinetics assay was performed to explore enzymatic catalytic capabilities of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF and Cu-MOF according to the previous studies on embedding enzymes in MOF.17,30,31,38 The Michaelis constant Km and the turnover number kcat were calculated via the Lineweaver-Burk plot method (the kcat was the molar extinction coefficient, wherein the kcat value of oxTMB was 3.9×104 M-1 cm-1). The ratio of kcat and Km indicated catalytic efficiency of enzyme, as the higher value of kcat/Km meant higher catalytic efficiency of enzyme. The Km represented the affinity of enzyme for substrate, and a lower Km value indicated a better affinity of enzyme to substrate. In general, the effects of loaded enzyme on the catalytic ability of Cu-MOF were investigated by comparing the Km and kcat/Km values of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF and CuMOF at different concentrations of TMB or H2O2, and the effect of the Cu9

The details were shown in “Supporting Information”. Detection of Acarbose Based on GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF. Firstly, 20 μL (216.55 µg/mL) reactor and 10 μL acarbose (dissolved in ultrapure water) with different concentrations (10 000, 5 000, 2 500....19.53 μM) were mixed in 96-well plate and incubated at 37 °C for 10 min, followed by the addition of 80 μL of 40 mM maltose. After incubating at 37 °C for 30 min, 80 μL of 4.15 mM TMB was added and reacted at 37 °C for 20 min. Finally 80 μL of 2 M H2SO4 solution was added to terminate the reaction before the absorbance was measured at 450 nm. In addition, a negative control (without inhibitor) and a blank control (without inhibitor and maltose) were set. The inhibition ratio was calculated as follows: Inhibition % 

ODsample - ODnegative  100% ODnegative

The absorbance in the formula was the value after the blank control was deducted, and the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was obtained from the inhibition curve. In addition, the limit of detection (LOD) of the reactor for acarbose was calculated according to the following formula, and the concentrations of acarbose were ranged from 0.05 to1 000 μM in the assay: LOD  3  SD / m 10

In the formula, SD was the standard deviation of the blank signal under multiple measurements, m was the slope of the standard curve. Furthermore, the effect of Cu-MOF addition on the linearity (δ) of the reactor was studied via adding Cu-MOF with different concentrations (325, 271, 217, 162, 108 and 54 µg/mL) into the above reaction system. And the linearity of the sensor was calculated as follows: δ = ΔYmax / Y* × 100%

In the formula, ΔYmax was the maximum deviation between linear fit value and measured value, Y* was the full scale output value of reactor. Application of Screening α-glucosidase Inhibitor from Oleanolic Acid Derivatives. In recent years, considerable interest has been attracted to natural product oleanolic acid and its derivatives because of their hypoglycemic activity. And it was important to screen out the oleanolic acid derivatives with high activity as lead compounds for the development of novel α-glucosidase inhibitors. Therefore, the αglucosidase inhibition activities of oleanolic acid derivatives 4~29 (obtained from our previous work)39 were evaluated via the proposed method in this work, and the experimental process was similar with the detection process of acarbose based on GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF except that the derivatives were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to obtain various concentrations ranging from 0.03 µM to 267 µM.

Characterization of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF. Cu-MOF and GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD and specific surface and microporous physical adsorption analyzer. Figure 1a, Figure S1 and Figure S2 exhibited that GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF with spherical flower structure had smaller diameter (9.63 µm) and higher specific surface (94.33 m2/g) than the Cu-MOF host (11.77 µm, 18.25 m2/g), which could provide a broader platform for enzymatic reactions. Moreover, GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF had a substantially identical powder XRD pattern with the Cu-MOF host (Figure 1b), which indicated that the integration of GAA and GOx with Cu-MOF had no influence on the main crystal structure of Cu-MOF although the morphology was changed apparently from being square to spherical. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) (Figure 1c) showed that GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF contained the elements of C, N, Cl, Cu, O and S, of which the elements O and S were new compared to the elements in the Cu-MOF host (Figure S1). O and S could be attributed to the contribution of the carboxyl and thiol groups of protein, suggesting the presence of GAA, GOx or GAA@GOx in the CuMOF host. That could be confirmed by the characteristic amide band (1 650.79 cm-1) in the FTIR spectrum from GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF (Figure 1d). Moreover, the superimposed FTIR spectra of GAA, GOx and CuMOF were basically consistent with GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF, indicating that GAA and GOx were successfully immobilized on Cu-MOF. 12

This result suggested that GAA and GOx in GAA @GOx @Cu-MOF were relatively strongly bonded with Cu-MOF and could not be removed by 13

washing, as compared to the enzyme being simply adsorbed on the external surface of Cu-MOF. Moreover, the unchanging morphology of Cu-MOF after being physically mixed with GAA and GOx also indicated that GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF was not formed through the adsorption of GAA and GOx on the external surface of Cu-MOF (Figure S3b). Furthermore, Figure 1e showed that the elements O and S were uniformly dispersed on the cross-section of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF, which confirmed that GAA and GOx were immobilized in Cu-MOF host rather than being simply adsorbed on the external surface. Optimization for the Ratio of GAA to GOx during the Preparation of Hybrid Enzyme-Catalytic MOF Reactor. In order to obtain a hybrid enzyme-catalytic MOF reactor with high loading rate and strong catalytic activity, the effects of different GAA and GOx ratios on the total enzyme loading rate, GAA loading rate and relative activity of the reactor were investigated. The loading rates were calculated from the standard curve (Figure S4) and the results were shown in Figure 2. Figure 2a exhibited that as the ratio of GAA to GOX decreased (the amount of GAA was constant), the total loading rate of Cu-MOF for enzyme increased firstly and then stabilized, indicating that the loading of enzyme on Cu-MOF reached saturation at the ratio of 1:1, and the total loading rate of enzyme was about 59 % at this moment (Table 1). However, as the ratio decreased, the loading rate of GAA on Cu-MOF stabilized firstly and then 14

showed a downward trend (Figure 2b), which suggested that GAA could saturate the load on Cu-MOF when the ratio was greater than or equal to 1, and the loading rate of the GAA was about 14% at this time (Table 1). In addition, as displayed in Table 1, the loading efficiency of Cu-MOF for different enzyme was distinct,24 but regardless of the ratio of GAA to GOx, it was clear that Cu-MOF enjoyed higher loading efficiency for GOx than GAA, which meant that GOx was easier to load in Cu-MOF than GAA. Therefore, when the ratio of GAA to GOx was less than 1, the decrease of GAA loading rate under the total saturation loading rate was due to the fact that GOx was more easily loaded on Cu-MOF (Figure 2b). Furthermore, it could be seen from Figure 2c that the reactor had the highest relative activity when the mass ratio of GAA to GOX was 1:1, which could be attributed to the fact that the Cu-MOF host reached the loading saturation state of enzyme at this moment and GAA also achieved the maximum loading rate simultaneously, so that the maltose could be hydrolyzed at the fastest rate to produce glucose provided to GOx hydrolysis. That is, GAA and GOx could best reflect the assembly line performance at this ratio. In summary, the best ratio of GAA to GOx was 1:1.

Enzymatic Catalytic Capabilities of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF and Cu-MOF. By conducting steady-state kinetic experiments (Table 2), it was found that the Km values of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF and Cu-MOF were similar no matter when TMB or H2O2 was used as the substrate, implying that the affinity of Cu-MOF for the substrate was not affected by GAA and GOx. Moreover, the ratio of kcat/Km values of the both was close to 1, suggesting that GAA and GOx had almost no effect on the catalytic activity of Cu-MOF. In addition, as shown in Table 2, the Km value of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF was similar to free enzyme system, which 16

indicated that the Cu-MOF skeleton did not affect the affinity of loaded enzyme to the substrate. Furthermore, it was gratifying that the kcat/Km value of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF was slightly greater than free enzyme system. The ratio of the two indicated that the catalytic activity of encapsulated enzyme was improved by about 4.58 times compared with the free enzyme system, which might be due to the integration of GAA and GOx in one reactor that endowed them the character of the assembly line work.7

Properties of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF. In order to verify the properties of the synthesized hybrid enzyme-catalytic MOF reactor, the bioactivities of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF under different conditions were investigated and compared with the free GAA and GOx systems. As shown in Figure 3a and Figure S7, GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF could maintain nearly 100 % of its original activity whether being stored at room temperature for 7 days or at 4 oC for 30 days, while free GAA and GOx lost more than 80 % of the original activity, indicating that encapsulation of GAA and GOx in Cu-MOF could significantly improve their storage stability. By treating GAA@GOx for 60 minutes at different temperatures, it was found that the bioactivity of GAA@GOx decreased with the increase of temperature, and more than 80 % of the original activity lost when the temperature reached 70 °C. However, almost no change in the activity of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF was observed under the same conditions, and it could maintain nearly 90 % of the original bioactivity even at 80 °C (Figure 3b), which revealed that the improved thermal stability of GAA and GOx could be achieved via being loaded in Cu-MOF. As seen from Figure 3c, both GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF and GAA@GOx achieved the highest activity at pH 7, but became inactivated in peracid and overbased environments. However, the activity loss of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF was less than GAA@GOx. In particular at pH 4, 18

the activity of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF was much higher than that of GAA@GOx, which was probably because the catalytic activity and structural integrity of Cu-MOF were highly dependent on pH and reached its highest activity and most intact structure at pH 4.38 SEM image in Figure S6a confirmed that GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF had an intact structure at this moment, which could provide effective protection for enzyme, thereby to avoid the inactivation of enzyme in peracid environments. However, the Cu-MOF catalytic activity was completely lost at pH 2 or 1238 and GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF was also completely collapsed upon the time (Figure S8b, c), resulting in the enzyme originally encapsulated in the skeleton being released and inactivated in peracid and overbased environments. On the whole, Cu-MOF could increase chemical stability of loaded enzyme in a certain pH range. After 13 hours of treatment with trypsin at 37 °C, more than 65 % of the initial bioactivity was still observed from GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF. However, only 25 % of the bioactivity was retained in GAA@GOx under the same conditions (Figure 3d), which indicated that the Cu-MOF host could provide effective shielding for GAA and GOx against biodegradation.

The reusability of reactor was also confirmed. As shown in Figure 4a and Figure S9, GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF before and after recycling had substantially identical powder XRD patterns and SEM images, which indicated that the framework structure of the reactor had hardly changed after 5 cycles of use and confirmed that the reactor possessed considerable stability. Moreover, after three cycles of use, GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF could still maintain nearly 80 % of its original activity, which suggested that the reactor could be recycled at least three times, while the free enzyme system was difficult to separate and reuse after the enzymatic reaction (Figure 4b 20

and Table S1). Furthermore, it could also be seen from Figure 4b that the relative activity and mass of the reactor exhibited consistent change trend as the number of cycles increased, which revealed that the reduced relative activity of reactor in the process of repeated use may be attributed to the loss of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF during this process. On the one hand, the loss of the reactor was probably due to the fact that the reactor located in the upper layer of the precipitate was easy to be removed together with the supernatant when the supernatant was poured or aspirated after each centrifugation. On the other hand, it was perhaps owing to the too short centrifugation time that the reactor remained in the supernatant.

μM of various amino acids (Phe, Met, Try, Tyr, Ger, Cys, Gla and Gly) to the sensing system. It could be seen from Figure 5 that relative activity of each test group was close to 100 % in the presence of interference factors, which proved that GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF had strong anti-interference performance and good selectivity.

Conditions. For purpose of realizing the best sensing performance of the hybrid enzyme-catalytic MOF reactor, the detection conditions including pH of the reaction system, concentrations of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF and enzymatic reaction time were optimized. According to the reported studies on α-glucosidase and glucose oxidase activity assay,9,41 the reaction system with different pH (5, 6, 6.4, 6.7, 7.0, 7.3, 8 and 9) was evaluated, and the results showed that pH = 7.0 gave the best catalytic activity of the reactor (Figure 6a). Therefore, pH = 7.0 was considered to be the optimal pH for 22

the α-glucosidase inhibitor screening assays. Figure 6b exhibited that as the concentration of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF increased, the catalytic efficiency of the reactor was enhanced gradually until up to 216.55 µg/mL, after which the increase of concentration would no longer affect the catalytic activity, indicating that the concentration of 216.55 μg/mL of GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF was sufficient to catalyze the decomposition of substrate maltose in the reaction system. Moreover, as shown in Figure 6c, the catalytic activity of the reactor increased gradually with the incubation time prolonged, and after 30 min the catalytic efficiency of the reactor ceased to change with enzymatic reaction time, indicating that 30 min was the optimal reaction time.

sensing system developed in this work. As shown in Figure 7a, the IC50 value of acarbose was calculated as 539.65 ± 21.97 μM, which was consistent with the literature reports (Table 3), indicating that the hybrid enzyme reactor possessed high reliability for screening α-glucosidase inhibitors. Moreover, it could be seen from Figure 7b that the inhibition rate was enhanced with the increase of acarbose concentration, and showed a good linear relationship in a wide dynamic range (12.5~800 μM). The fitted linear equation was y = 30.00 x - 29.06 (R2 = 0.997, δ = 0.4218%). The LOD was estimated to be 7.05 nM at S/N = 3, which was lower than what was found in the literature.6 The result suggested that the GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF hybrid enzyme reactor exhibited highly sensitivity for screening GAA inhibitor. Furthermore, the result in Figure 7c showed that as the concentration of added Cu-MOF increased, the linearity of the reactor was almost the same as that without Cu-MOF, which indicated that Cu-MOF addition had no effect on the linearity of the sensor.

Screening of Potential Anti-diabetic Drugs from Oleanolic Acid Derivatives. In view of the excellent sensitivity and practical reliability of the reactor, it has been successfully used in the screening of oleanolic acid derivatives as potential α-glucosidase inhibitors, and the results were compared with conventional methods (i.e. GAA activity was detected by measuring the absorbance of p-nitrophenol (PNP) produced by GAA hydrolysis of PNPG). As shown in Table S2, it could be found that compound 10 with the IC50 value of 0.29 ± 0.03 μM exhibited the most inhibition activity, which was consistent with the result in our previous work.39 Moreover, as it could be seen from Figure 8, the IC50 values of 25

these oleanolic acid analogues obtained from the proposed method and commonly used method39 showed a good correlation (R2 = 0.9971), which further proved the feasibility and practicability of this strategy. Furthermore, according to the above results, the proposed strategy was expected to be applied in the screening of α-glucosidase inhibitors from natural products and the work would be performed in our later research with the steps as follows: firstly, the active ligands in the crude extract of natural products were interacted with GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF at 37 °C for certain time, being followed by centrifugation and washing to remove the unbound impurities. Next, the ligands combined on GAA@GOx@CuMOF were released and the supernatant was finally separated through HPLC to obtain the single active ligand as a potential α-glucosidase inhibitor.

CONCLUSIONS In this study, a bifunctional GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF hybrid enzymecatalytic MOF reactor for α-glucosidase inhibitors screening by using GAA, GOx and Cu-MOF as models was successfully prepared. The reactor not only possessed similar sensing performance to GAA-GOx-HRP, but also displayed an excellent anti-interference performance and high sensitivity toward GAA inhibitors screening, and the detection limit of acarbose was 7.05 nM. More importantly, Cu-MOF could effectively enhance the catalytic activity, storage stability, thermal stability, chemical stability, biostability and recyclability of GAA and GOx, which could greatly broaden the application of enzyme so that they were no longer confined to mild environments. Furthermore, the proposed method, with excellent accuracy, was successfully applied to the screening of oleanolic acid derivatives as potential anti-diabetic drugs and expected to be applied in the screening of α-glucosidase inhibitors from natural products. In summary, it was expected that the prepared hybrid enzyme-catalytic MOF reactor had great potential in the screening of anti-diabetic drugs. Meanwhile, this work also provided some insights and inspirations for further research on multifunctional MOF composites. ASSOCIATED CONTENT Supporting Information.
