Photopolymerization strategy, as one of the immobilization methods, has attracted considerable interest because of some advantages, such as easy operation, harmlessness to the biomolecules, and long storage stability. (E)-4-(4-Formylstyryl) pyridine (formylstyrylpyridine) was prepared through Heck reaction and used as a photopolymer material to immobilize biomimetic superoxide dismutase under ultraviolet irradiation (UV) irradiation in a short time. The styrylpyridinium moiety of Formylstyrylpyridine was photoreactive and formed a dimer under UV irradiation. Mn2P2O7 multilayer sheet, a novel superoxide dismutase mimic, was synthesized. The formed photopolymer can immobilize Mn2P2O7 firmly under UV irradiation. On the basis of high catalytic activity of Mn2P2O7 biomimetic enzyme and long-term stability of Mn2P2O7-formylstyrylpyridine film, after introducing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), a novel electrochemical biosensing platform called MWCNTs/Mn2P2O7-formylstyrylpyridine for superoxide anion (O2(•-)) detection was constructed. The biosensor displayed good performance for O2(•-) detection and provided a reliable platform to adhere living cells directly on the modified electrode surface. Therefore, the biosensor was successfully applied to vitro determination of O2(•-) released from living cells, which had a promising prospect for living cells monitoring and diagnosis of reactive oxygen species-related diseases.
