Magnetic nanozymes with peroxidase-mimicking activity have been widely investigated for developing molecular biosensors. Herein, we report a starch-assisted method for the synthesis of a novel class of carboxyl group-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (C-IONPs). Scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the nanopartides possess a spherical shape with an average size of similar to 250 nm. Peroxidase-mimicking activity of C-IONPs was investigated through catalytic oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2. The results showed that nanoparticles follow typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics and exhibit excellent affinity toward TMB and H2O2 with estimated K-M and V-Max values of 0.0992 mM and 0.156 x 10(-8) Ms-1 for TMB and 114 mM and 0.197 x 10(-8) Ms-1 for H2O2, respectively. C-IONPs were used to develop a simple method for the direct isolation and quantification of disease-specific exosomes. This method utilized a two-step strategy that involved (a) initial isolation of bulk exosomes present in the sample media using tetraspanin biomarker (i.e., CD9)-functionalized C-IONPs and (b) subsequent electrochemical quantification of disease-specific exosomes within the captured bulk exosomes using tumor-specific markers (in this case, the ovarian cancer biomarker CA-125). In the first step, C-IONPs were used as "dispersible nanocarriers" to capture the bulk population of exosomes, and in the second step, they were used as nanozymes to generate an enzyme-catalyzed current indicative of the presence of tumor-specific exosomes. Chronoamperometric analysis showed that the method exhibits an excellent specificity for OVCAR3 cell-derived exosomes (linear dynamic range, 6.25 x 10(5) to 1.0 x 10(7) exosomes/mL; detection limit, 1.25 x 10(6) exosomes/mL) with a relative standard deviation of
