The pervasive use of antiviral drugs (ATVs) for treating viral infections (e.g., HIV, hepatitis, and influenza) has led to their widespread detection in aquatic environments. However, their incomplete removal in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and associated ecological risks remain poorly quantified, particularly in megacities with high population density and medical facility density post-COVID-19. This study analyzed influent, effluent, and process-unit samples from 16 WWTPs and surface water samples from two major river basins via UPLC–ESI–MS/MS to systematically evaluate the occurrence, removal dynamics, and ecological risks of eight priority ATVs. Ecological risk quotients (RQs) were calculated using measured environmental concentrations (MECs) and predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) for aquatic organisms. Acyclovir (ACV) was ubiquitously detected in all WWTPs (197–21,334 ng/L) and rivers (139–431 ng/L), with WWTP removal rates varying drastically by process (15.6–99.9%). Oseltamivir (OS) dominated influents (18,251–21,334 ng/L) but was absent in surface waters, suggesting rapid environmental transformation. Risk assessment identified high-risk RQs (>1) for ACV and OS in effluents, threatening algae and fish. Hybrid processes (e.g., A2O+MBR) outperformed single-stage systems, yet overall ATV removal remained suboptimal (avg. 48.6%). This work underscores the urgent need for process optimization and regulatory frameworks to mitigate ATV-driven ecological hazards.

This work is devoted to the effect of pressure on the structure of lamivudine by using Raman and infrared spectroscopy in diamond anvil cells. The results showed a transition from tetragonal crystal Form Ⅱ to an unknown Form Ⅲ' at approximately 1.26 GPa, followed by a transition from Form Ⅲ' to Form Ⅳ' at pressure of 7.23 GPa. The phase transitions were marked by unique profiles and pressure-dependent characteristic modes. Pressure-induced changes in structural symmetry led to conformational transition in lamivudine. Furthermore, there was a considerable conformational variation between A and D in lamivudine molecule to maintain structural balance. Spectroscopic measurements indicated that these pressure-induced changes were reversible below approximately 0.1 GPa.

Up to now, the chromatographic separation and analysis of highly polar compounds are still challenging because of low retention ability and selectivity of conventional stationary phases (SPs). Developing new SPs to achieve high-resolution and high-efficiency separation of polar compounds is of great importance for health and medicine, food safety, environmental protection, etc. . Herein, an influential multi-step modification strategy (modification with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane on the silica twice and end-capped with trimethylchlorosilane once) is introduced to prepare C8F13-SiO 2 SP. The physical properties of C8F13-SiO 2 SP, including morphologies, pore structures and carbon content were fully characterized by various instrumental techniques. The packed HPLC column with C8F13-SiO 2 SP exhibited high column efficiency, good peak shape (tailing factors for most analytes are between 0.9 and 1.3), and resolution for simultaneous separation of ginsenosides, sulfonamides, nucleosides , and benzoylurea insecticides (BUs); meanwhile, the retention mechanism of typical reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) mode was observed. A column efficiency of 30,220 plates/m for separation of ginsenoside Re was obtained. Furthermore, the resulting columns benefit from the advantages of supreme reproducibility, repeatability and stability. Importantly, the chromatographic properties (e.g. column efficiencies, chromatographic peak shapes, retention ability and resolution) of the C8F13-SiO 2 SP for the polar analytes were superior to those of the commercial SPs (including commercial amino-modified silica SP, diol-modified silica SP and commercial PFP-SiO 2 SP). Thus, the C8F13-SiO 2 SP is able to satisfy the strict requirements of highly polar compounds separation.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), being ranked as the top fifth most prevalent cancer globally, poses a significant health challenge, with a considerable mortality rate. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection stands as the primary factor contributing to HCC, presenting substantial challenges in its treatment. This study aimed to identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with anti-HBV properties and evaluate their impact on the intestinal flora in HBV-associated HCC. Initially, two LAB strains,Levilactobacillus brevisSR52-2 (L. brevisSR52-2) andLeviLactobacillus delbrueckiisubsp.bulgaicusQ80 (L. delbrueckiiQ80), exhibiting anti-HBV effects, were screened in vitro from a pool of 498 LAB strains through cell experiments, with extracellular expression levels of 0.58 ± 0.05 and 0.65 ± 0.03, respectively. These strains exhibited the capability of inhibiting the expression of HBeAg and HBsAg. Subsequent in vitro fermentation, conducted under simulated anaerobic conditions mimicking the colon environment, revealed a decrease in pH levels in both the health control (HC) and HCC groups influenced by LAB, with a more pronounced effect observed in the HC group. Additionally, the density of total short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) significantly increased (p< 0.05) in the HCC group. Analysis of 16S rRNA highlighted differences in the gut microbiota (GM) community structure in cultures treated withL. brevisSR52-2 andL. delbrueckiiQ80. Fecal microflora in normal samples exhibited greater diversity compared to HBV-HCC samples. The HCC group treated with LAB showed a significant increase in the abundance of the phyla Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria, while Proteobacteria significantly decreased compared to the untreated HCC group after 48 h. In conclusion, the findings indicate that LAB, specificallyL. brevisSR52-2 andL. delbrueckiiQ80, possessing antiviral properties, contribute to an improvement in gastrointestinal health.

Here, ribavirin (RBV) was introduced into metal organic frameworks (MOFs) in this instance to direct the in situ fabrication of appropriate nanocage structures to facilitate the targeted binding of RBV. Well-designed nano-caged RBV imprinted membranes (NCRIMs) have remarkable antifouling capabilities and can selectively separate RBV from wastewater generated by the RBV production process by constructing imprinting sites inside the molecule. Polydopamine (PDA) is rich in hydrophilic groups (hydroxyl and amino groups) that interact with water molecules via hydrogen bonding, thereby generating a hydrate layer on the membrane surface. The synthesized RBV imprinted sites were homogeneously scattered at the interface and inside of the membrane, resulting in a satisfactory selectivity. Notably, methacrylic acid and acrylamide act as functional monomers that synergistically promote the ability to selectively recognise RBV imprinting sites. It was demonstrated that NCRIMs had favourable rebinding selectivity ( α RBV/ACV = 3.28, α RBV/AZT = 2.48, α RBV/LAM = 3.72) as well as partial selectivity ( β RBV /LAM = 9.48, β RBV/AZT = 8.20, β RBV/ACV = 2.95), indicating the potential of NCRIMs in practical application. What is significant is that the cooperative imprinting and modification methods devised in this study offer directions for the selective isolation of valuable components from complex environments, as well as a reference towards the design of potentially highly resistant membranes.

Antiviral treatment for COVID-19 is considered an effective tool in reducing the rate of severe cases and deaths. As of June 2023, a total of six small molecule antiviral drugs have been conditionally approved for marketing by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) within China. In this study, a method of HPLC-MS/MS was established and validated for the determination of six small molecule antiviral drugs in plasma using Lamivudine as an internal standard. The chromatographic separation was performed using gradient elution with an ACE 3 C 18 -PFP column (3.0 mm × 150 mm, 3 μm), and the mobile phase consisted of deionized water and acetonitrile/water (90:10, v/v), both with 10 mmol/L of ammonium acetate and 0.1 % ammonium hydroxide added. Quantitative analysis of the six small molecule drugs was carried out through selective reaction monitoring based on the positive ion spray ionization mode. The method exhibited excellent precision, accuracy, recovery, and linearity, and it was used to determine the pharmacokinetic characteristics in rats. Our work not only established a bioanalytical method for six small molecule antiviral drugs but also provided scientific references for clinical pharmacokinetic studies.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly tunable materials with potential as porous media in membrane separations. However, traditional MOFs are usually not specific and selective. Here, we demonstrate a nanocomposite molecularly imprinted MOFs membrane material that can selectively adsorb and separate specific molecules. We demonstrated this adsorption-separation mechanism by introducing ribavirin molecules into multicomponent MOFs by molecular imprinting strategy and performing permeation and dynamic permeation tests. Due to the previously formed nanocages with a specific structure inside the MOFs, combined with the synergistic effect of the subsequent secondary imprinting, excellent selectivity (more than 6) and effective adsorption (46.46 mg g −1 ) were displayed by the obtained imprinted membrane. The stability of the membrane was measured by the process of dynamic osmosis, and the results showed that the membrane always had a large factor of separation (greater than 7). The experimental results and conclusions of this paper provide new theoretical and practical support for solving the key scientific issues of the “trade-off” effect between the permeation flux and permeation selectivity of template molecules in the traditional molecularly imprinted membranes (MIMs) osmotic separation process.

In this study, modified hollow e-ZIF-8 nanoparticles with a hollow structure and hydroxyl-rich surface were ingeniously synthesized through a one-step etching method, thereby increasing the contact area and addressing the issue of stacking imprinting sites, fundamentally enhancing selectivity. Among these, the hollow structure of the e-ZIF-8 nanoparticles not only increased the interlayer spacing of the graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, providing additional pathways for water molecules, but also, through π-π interactions, cross-linked the phenol-modified nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the GO nanosheets, significantly enhancing the structural stability and anti-fouling capability of the composite membrane. The effects of different e-ZIF-8 addition amounts on membrane flux and hydrophilicity were investigated, constructing a GO-based imprinting structure on the stacked e-ZIF-8/GO nanosheet surfaces, offering a novel strategy to improve the selectivity and stability of the membrane. The maximum adsorption capacity of e-MG-IMs reached 38.35 mg g −1 , demonstrating good selective separation factors ( α RBV/ACV = 3.24, α RBV/AZT = 2.41 and α RBV/LAM = 4.21), as well as excellent permeation selectivity ( β ACV/RBV = 4.75, β AZT/RBV = 4.42 and β LAM/RBV = 5.92). In this study, the optimized regulation of GO nanosheets extended the molecular transport channels, facilitating the construction of more molecular recognition sites, thus positively impacting the separation performance of the imprinting membrane.
