A fluorimetric method is described for the determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. It is based on the use of polyethyleneimine-coated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs), which display an intense blue fluorescence peaking at 450 nm (under 375 nm excitation). ALP catalyzes the dephosphorylation of the thiophosphate amifostine to generate a thiol that binds to the AgNCs and causes its fluorescence to be quenched. Under the optimal experimental conditions, fluorescence linearly drops in the 0.08–2.0 U L−1 ALP activity range, and the limit of detection is 0.02 U L−1. The method was successfully applied to the determination of ALP activity in spiked human serum samples.
