4-Octylphenol, a major environmental degradation product of alkylphenols (Aps) used in industry, is an endocrine-disrupting chemical with significant estrogenic activity. It is one of the most toxic Aps, poorly biodegradable in the environment, and can accumulate in organisms through the food chain, thereby affecting the male reproductive system. In this study, the effect of 4-octylphenol on male reproductive health was analyzed. Male pubertal mice were exposed to 4-octylphenol at doses of 0, 1, 10, and 100 mg/kg once daily for 28 days. Our findings indicated that pubertal exposure to 4-octylphenol has significant negative effects on the male reproductive system. Pubertal mice exposed to 4-octylphenol exhibited dose-dependent reproductive toxicity. In the medium- and high-dose groups, a significant reduction in testicular mass, structural damage to the seminiferous tubules, increased oxidative stress and apoptosis within the testicular tissue, and a decline in sperm quality were observed. Additionally, autophagy processes in the testicular tissue, germ cell proliferation, and meiotic processes are inhibited. Serum testosterone and estradiol levels decreased, whereas oxidative stress levels in the testes and spermatozoa increased. In contrast, the low-dose group showed only a reduction in body weight, a decrease in motile sperm count, and mild oxidative stress in the testes without significant pathological changes in Western blot experiments. These results indicate that 4-octylphenol exposure during puberty caused reproductive toxicity in male mice.

4–Octylphenol is an endocrine disruptor , belonging to environmental estrogens. It can be enriched in the human body through the food chain and may harm human health. Herein, we used a variety of spectroscopic techniques, molecular docking, and gel electrophoresis to study the interaction of 4–octylphenol and ctDNA . It was found that the mechanism of ctDNA quenching the endogenous fluorescence of 4–octylphenol was static quenching, and formed a complex. The negative enthalpy change (Δ H °), entropy change (Δ S °) and Gibbs free energy (Δ G °) have shown that 4–octylphenol and ctDNA spontaneously bind together under the action of hydrogen bonds and van der Waal's force . Viscosity, melting temperature and iodide quenching experiments showed that 4–octylphenol acted on the groove of ctDNA. Insignificant change in circular dichromism spectra further confirmed this binding mode. The binding sites and groups for 4–octylphenol and ctDNA interaction were identified by molecular docking. Gel electrophoresis found that 4–octylphenol at high concentrations caused DNA cleavage. Above findings may lay a theoretical foundation for understanding the toxicity mechanism of 4–octylphenol.

Alkylphenol polyethoxylates (APEO n ) are the second-largest category of commercial nonionic surfactants, which are difficult to degrade naturally in the environment. This study examined the degradation of octylphenol polyethoxylate (OPEO n ) by laccase and its laccase-mediated systems. The results showed that OPEO n was poorly degraded by laccase alone. 2, 2′-azino-bis [3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid] (ABTS), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT), and 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) were selected as the redox mediators. Experimental results also indicated that 52.4% of the initial OPEO n amount was degraded by laccase in the presence of TEMPO. The degradation efficiency was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography. Furthermore, the structural characteristics of the degradation products were measured using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and it could be found that the laccase-TEMPO system could gradually shorten the ethoxylate chain by oxidizing the primary hydroxyl group of OPEO n , thereby degrading the OPEO n of the macromolecule into small molecules. The maximum of the ion peak distributions of OPEO n decreased from n = 8 finally down to 3. The novel enzymatic system introduced by this study will become a promising alternative method for high-efficiency APEO n conversion and had great potential value in wastewater treatment.

A detection method for 3 kinds of phenolic compounds of endocrine disruptors (4-nonylphenol, 4-octylphenol, and bisphenol A) in infant milk powders by solid-phase extraction combined GC-MS was established. This method can effectively remove interference materials from infant milk powder products. The limit of detection and the limit of quantitation of the 3 kinds of compounds were 0.8 μg/kg and 2.5 μg/kg, respectively, with the relative standard deviations of 4.3–12.1%. The recovery rates of 4-nonylphenol, 4-octylphenol, and bisphenol A were of 68.5–89.2%, 64.8–87.0%, and 97.8–110.0%, respectively. Concentrations of the bisphenol A were from 0.8 to 14 μg/kg in 35 samples of the total 60 samples. And the other two compounds of 4-nonylphenol and 4-octylphenol were not found in all the 60 samples tested. The established method is simple, rapid, accurate, and highly sensitive, and the pollution of endocrine disruptors in some infant milk powders products was detectable in trace amounts.

The presence of endocrine disrupting chemicals such as 4- n -octylphenol, 4- n -nonylphenol and bisphenol A in environmental samples and artificial products may cause health problems for human and organisms. This developed method was efficient for monitoring of those tracing emerging contaminates and the Plackett-Burman factorial design introduced in extraction step was timesaving. Matrix effect was also considered to ensure proper quantitation. Good linearity (r 2 > 0.99), low Method Detection Limits (MDL) and Method Quantitation Limits (MQL) range from 0.18 to 0.54 ng/g and 0.60 to 1.80 ng/g were obtained. Three level spiking experiment (4, 10, 15 ng/g) showed recoveries range from 74% to 113% for 4- n -octylphenol and 4- n -nonylphenol with RSD range from 2% to 11%. The method was finally applied to the analysis of real fish samples taken from Hunan Province, China, offering a reliable and effective means for monitoring of trace emerging contaminates in fishes largely consumed by residents.

Abtsract Three phenolic endocrine-disrupting compounds, 4-nonylphenol, 4-tert-octylphenol and bisphenol A, were determined in water, sediment and biota (fish, shrimp and mollusk) collected from sites along the Pearl River Estuary, China. The 4-nonylphenol, 4-tert-octylphenol and bisphenol A concentrations ranged from 1.20–3352.86 ng/L in the water, < 0.17–20.80 ng/g dw in the sediment and < 1.49–237.12 ng/g dw in the biota. The concentrations of 4-nonylphenol were higher than those of 4-tert-octylphenol and bisphenol A in the water, sediment and organisms. Moreover, the bioconcentration factors (BCFs) and biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) of 4-nonylphenol and bisphenol A were calculated, and were found to be higher for 4-nonylphenol and in demersal organisms. To assess co-exposure to phenolic endocrine-disrupting compounds, the 4-nonylphenol equivalent was employed to evaluate the potential risks to aquatic organisms and human health, and the results indicated a low risk.

The large loss of fine-grained bastnaesite has become an increasingly important issue restricting the development of rare earth ore flotation industry. To solve this issue, a new collector mixture that combines octyl hydroxamic acid (OHA) and octyl phenol ethoxylation (OP10, the number of ethylene oxide groups is 10) is proposed to be used to improve the flotation of bastnaesite. The flotation adsorption mechanism of OHA/OP10 on bastnaesite was investigated by a series of experimental and analytical tests. The results showed that when the molar ratio of OHA/OP10 was 3:1, the OHA/OP10 combination significantly improved the recovery of −74 + 38 μm and −15 μm bastnaesite compared with only OHA. Optical microscopy revealed that mixed OHA/OP10 had a beneficial effect on fine-grained bastnaesite aggregation. In addition, the results of the zeta potential test, fluorescence spectrum analysis, and XPS analysis showed that OHA and OP10 were co-adsorbed on the surface of bastnaesite.

A novel imprinted electrochemical sensor was prepared based on cobalt-nickel bimetallic nanoparticles by one-step electrodeposited on graphene modified carbon electrode for the sensitive determination of octylphenol. Graphene nanosheets were firstly deposited onto carbon electrode surface by electrochemistry reduction method. Then the cobalt-nickel bimetallic nanoparticles were electrodeposited on the graphene modification electrode surface. The electrochemical behaviors of the imprinted sensor were evaluated with cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in detail. The results showed that the prepared imprinted sensor displayed high sensitivity toward octylphenol attributing to the synergetic effect derived from the cobalt-nickel bimetallic nanoparticles and graphene. Under the optimized condition, the response currents of the imprinted sensor exhibited a linear relationship toward the negative logarithm of concentrations (С [OP] ) ranged from 1.0 × 10 −10 to 1.0 × 10 −7 mol L −1 (R = 0.998) with the detection limit of 3.6 × 10 −11 mol L −1 (S/N = 3). The imprinted electrochemical sensor was applied for the determination of octylphenol in plastic bottles, metal bottles and food packaging bags successfully.

To fabricate a hydrophobic pharmaceutical formulation with the use of montmorillonite (MMT), the strong polarity and structural properties of montmorillonite were modified by via simple and convenient wet ball-milling method using the nonionic surfactant , octyl phenyl polyoxyethylene ether , as the modifier, to improve the MMT's affinity to hydrophobic organic drug, ibuprofen . The resultant organo-montmorillonite (OPP-MMT) was characterized by the means of scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering , Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy , thermogravimetric analyzer, BET-specific surface area measurements, drug adsorption and in vitro release experiments, and in vitro cell viability assay . Experimental results showed that octyl phenyl polyoxyethylene ether was successfully inserted into the interlayer of the raw Na-MMT during the wet ball-milling process. The adsorption and intercalation modification of octyl phenyl polyoxyethylene ether destroyed the rigid structure of Na-MMT, enlarged the interlayer spacing of Na-MMT, and enhanced its specific surface area, pore volume and mean mesopore size, which made it be more conducive to the loading of hydrophobic organic drugs. The adsorption analysis of OPP-MMT on ibuprofen showed that the affinity of OPP-MMT to hydrophobic drugs was better than that of Na-MMT, which was beneficial to the loading of ibuprofen. Moreover, the good affinity of OPP-MMT to hydrophobic drug allowed it to exhibit good controlled release properties for the drug delivery.

Octylphenol (OP) is a chemical compound that has found extensive industrial and agricultural production applications. However, its occasional exposure to water can pose significant risks to aquatic organisms. Therefore, developing a simple, cost-effective, and stable electrochemical monitor for OP to ensure environmental safety. Based on a novel nitrogen-doped hollow carbon bowl (N-HCB) as the electrical conductor, OP as the template molecule, and pyrrole (Py) as the functional monomer, the sandwich-structure molecularly imprinted polymer (N-HCB@PPy/MIP) nanocomposites were prepared. It incorporated the intercalated layer of N-HCB that provides a superior electrocatalytic substrate, the double-sided molecularly imprinted layer that generates highly specific surface imprinted cavities, and an electronic barrier of the non-imprinted PPy to external molecules. The sensors demonstrated a highly selective and ultrasensitive electrochemical response to OP, exhibiting a detection range of 0.5–200 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.07 μM, while showing good stability, reproducibility, and excellent selectivity to other interferences. Further test results indicate its suitability for the detection of OP in real environmental samples.

Nonylphenol (NP) and octylphenol (OP) are environmental contaminants with potential endocrine disrupting effects. However, there is limited research on the mechanisms and intervention of combined NP and OP exposure-induced neurotoxicity. This study aims to explore the cytotoxicity of combined NP and OP exposure and evaluate the potential of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) in mitigating the aforementioned toxicity. In present study, LBP (62.5, 125 and 250 µg/mL) were applied to intervene rat adrenal pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cells treated with combined NP and OP (NP: OP = 4:1, w/w; 1, 2, 4 and 8 µg/mL). The results showed that NP and OP induced oxidative stress, disrupted the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and cholinergic systems in PC-12 cells. Additionally, they activated the p38 protein kinase (p38) and suppressed the expression of silent information regulation type 1 (SIRT1), monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), phosphorylated cyclic-AMP response binding protein (p-CREB), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and phosphorylated tropomyosin-related kinase receptor type B (p-TrkB). However, N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) treatment counteracted the changes of signalling molecule p38, SIRT1/MAOA and CREB/BDNF/TrkB pathways-related proteins induced by NP and OP. LBP pretreatment ameliorated combined NP and OP exposure-induced oxidative stress and neurotransmitter imbalances. Furthermore, the application of LBP and administration of a p38 inhibitor both reversed the alterations in the signaling molecule p38, as well as the proteins associated to the SIRT1/MAOA and CREB/BDNF/TrkB pathways. These results implied that LBP may have neuroprotective effects via p38-mediated SIRT1/MAOA and CREB/BDNF/TrkB pathways.

The investigation into the degradation of alkylphenol pollutants (APs) has become a hotspot due to their harmful effects on the environment and human health. In this study, microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) were used to degrade nonylphenol (NP) and 4- tert -octylphenol (4- tert -OP). The study found that the degradation rates of NP and 4- tert -OP for a 6-day period were 83.6% and 96.3%, respectively, which were 30.53% and 26.7% higher than those of the group without applied voltage. The double layer area in the degradation of 4- tert -OP was larger than that of NP, and the resistance exhibited by 4- tert -OP (87.47 Ω) in MEC was lower than that of NP (99.42 Ω). Meanwhile, NP had a greater effect on the bioenzyme activity than 4- tert -OP. GC-MS analysis showed that the degradation pathways of both pollutants mainly included oxidation and hydroxylation reactions. Furthermore, the microbial community analysis indicated that the main functional bacteria in NP degradation were Citrobacter , Desulfovibrio and Advenella , and those in 4- tert -OP degradation were Stenotrophomonas , Chryseobacterium , Dokdonella , and the key microbiomes underlying the cooperative relationship. The biotoxicity test indicated that the toxicity of residual substances was significantly reduced. Therefore, the MEC system is efficient and environmentally friendly and has broad application prospects in phenol refractory organics.
