Amoxicillin (AMO), a penicillin antibiotic, and ciprofloxacin (CIP), a quinolone antibiotic, are widely used to combat bacterial infections and are frequently co-administered to enhance therapeutic efficacy. However, improper use of AMO and CIP may lead to antibiotic residues in the environment, posing serious threats to human health. The visual detection of AMO and CIP remains significant challenges. Herein, the Eu-DPA@CQDs was used for the dual-mode detection of AMO and CIP, which was synthesized by CQDs doped in europium-DPA metal-organic framework. In the colorimetric mode, the catalase-mimicking Eu-DPA@CQDs oxidized TMB to blue oxTMB. Upon addition of AMO, the oxTMB was reduced, causing color fading. Subsequent introduction of CIP restored nanozyme activity, regenerating the blue signal and enabling dual-analyte antibiotic detection. In the fluorescence mode, the Eu-DPA@CQDs probe exhibited dual emission at 440 nm and 613 nm. Upon AMO addition, the fluorescence at both wavelengths was quenched, accompanied by a color change from red to purple. In the presence of CIP, the emission at 440 nm increased and redshifted to 490 nm, while the signal at 613 nm was quenched, resulting in a multicolor transition from red to cyan. The Eu-DPA@CQDs sensor enabled rapid and dual-mode detection of AMO and CIP. The colorimetric method exhibited wide linear ranges of 0.005–25 μM for AMO and 0.007–4.25 μM for CIP, with detection limits of 1.67 nM and 3.75 nM, respectively. A visible color transition from dark blue to colorless was observed with increasing AMO concentration, while the addition of CIP reversed the signal back to dark blue. Similarly, the fluorescence detection achieved wide linear ranges from 0.005 to 30 μM for AMO and 0.005 to 15 μM for CIP, with detection limits as low as 4.74 nM and 3.11 nM, respectively, also within only 1 min. As the concentration of AMO increased, the color shifted from red to purple. In contrast, increasing CIP concentration induced a color transition from red to cyan. These color transitions were both clearly visible to the naked eye. The sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity and anti-interference capability, providing a reliable platform for accurate, sensitive, and quantitative determination of both antibiotics in real samples.

The widespread presence of antibiotics in aquatic environments raises concerns about their ecological impacts. However, the molecular-level effects of antibiotics and the underlying mechanisms, particularly the responses across aquatic species, remain unclear. We established a freshwater microcosm including duckweeds ( Salvinia natans ), snails ( Cipangopaludina cathayensis ), and fish ( Danio rerio ) to investigate their uniform and specific responses to antibiotics (sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, oxytetracycline, and azithromycin), each at 1, 10, and 100 μg/L for 45 days. Antibiotic exposure diminished chlorophyll content in duckweeds, increased soluble sugar levels, elevated triglyceride levels in snails, and raised total bile acid concentrations in fish. Metabolomic analysis revealed that both duckweeds and fish tended to store energy to defend against antibiotic-induced stress, but through different pathways. Duckweeds accumulated sugar metabolites and downregulated antioxidants, while fish consumed primary sugars and converted them into lipid metabolites. Microbiome analysis indicated a self-coordination of gut bacteria in both snails and fish exposed to 1 and 10 μg/L of antibiotics, while dysbiosis occurred in snails at 100 μg/L, marked by increased pernicious bacteria abundance. In contrast, the abundance of probiotic bacteria increased in the fish gut due to microbial resistance to antibiotics, which played a crucial role in bile acid metabolism and positively influenced hepatic lipid metabolism via the gut-liver axis. This study uncovered the uniform and specific defense and dysregulation behaviors of multilevel aquatic organisms in response to antibiotic exposure, providing valuable insights into the selection of molecular-level endpoints for water quality benchmark development to safeguard aquatic life from antibiotic pollution.

In this study, the hexane extract of Asters tataricus was used as the carbon source, and ethylenediamine and 4-bromophenylene diamine were selected as dopants to prepare nitrogen and bromine co-doped carbon dots (N,Br-CDs) by the hydrothermal synthesis method. The obtained fluorescent probe has a uniform particle size distribution, good water solubility and high stability, with a fluorescence quantum yield of 48.43%. Under 420 nm excitation conditions, N,Br-CDs exhibited the strongest fluorescence emission at 513 nm, indicating that the sensing system was in the “ON” state. Subsequently, TA was introduced as a quencher to induce static quenching of the N,Br-CDs system, significantly weakening the fluorescence intensity and switching the sensing system from “ON” to “OFF”. Finally, after EM was introduced into the N,Br-CDs/TA system, EM preferentially formed a complex with TA and weakened its quenching effect on the quantum dots, thereby achieving fluorescence recovery and returning the sensing system from the “OFF” state to the “ON” state. Based on the above mechanism, an “ON-OFF-ON” fluorescence sensing system with N,Br-CDs as the luminescent substrate was constructed for the sensitive detection of TA and EM. The results showed that the system exhibited good linear response to TA, with the linear ranges being 1.50–22.94 μM and 34.88–348.42 μM, respectively, and the limits of detection being 0.2168 μM and 2.1797 μM, respectively (LOD, S/N = 3). The linear range for EM was 1.93–377.08 μM, with a detection limit of 0.6693 μM. Furthermore, the sensor system was capable of quantitatively determining TA and EM in human serum, Huangshui River water, and milk matrices, demonstrating its potential for broad application in environmental monitoring and bioanalysis.

In this study, a dual-ratiometric optical probe utilizing europium-doped carbon dots (Eu-CDs) was developed for simultaneous fluorescent and colorimetric detection of tetracycline (TC). The Eu-CDs complex was synthesized through a hydrothermal approach. Upon coordination with Eriochrome Black T (EBT), the Eu-CDs complex exhibits a distinct magenta coloration. Introduction of TC triggers a ligand displacement reaction, resulting in color transition from magenta to blue, resulting in ratiometric colorimetric visual detection. Meanwhile, the TC-bound EBT-CDs@Eu complex emits ratiometric fluorescence change. A ratiometric fluorescence detection method was established for TC based on the absorbance-energy transfer-emission (AETE) mechanism, culminating in the successful design of a dual-ratiometric optical probe. The colorimetric assay demonstrated a detection limit (LOD) of 20.5 nM for TC. Furthermore, the practical applicability of this sensor was validated through successful TC detection in aquaculture samples, highlighting its potential for real-world monitoring applications.

Fe 3+ and nitrofurazone (NFZ) can raise a risk for environment and human health due to accumulation in water. Hence, a post-synthetic modification strategy was employed to develop a visualization sensor for detecting Fe 3+ and NFZ. In this study, we selected a Zinc-based metal organic framework in combination with fluorescein to develop a fluorescent dyes-encapsulated sensor (Flu@Zn-MOF). The sensing experimental indicated that the Flu@Zn-MOF demonstrated excellent recognition performance for Fe 3+ and NFZ. The detection limits (LODs) of Fe 3+ and NFZ are 1.27 and 0.89 μM, respectively. Furthermore, the color of Flu@Zn-MOF turn from yellow-green to blue in the presence of NFZ. The proposed sensor can accurately identify Fe 3+ and three nitrofuran analogs (NFZ, NFT and FTD) by principal component analysis (PCA). In addition, satisfactory recovery rates and low standard deviation for detection of Fe 3+ and NFZ in real water samples confirms the practicability of Flu@Zn-MOF. Then, a sensing system was created that leverages smartphone technology for the quantitative and real-time monitoring of NFZ. Therefore, this work presents a new strategy for designing a novel sensing method for on-site recognition of nitrofurans pollutants in water.

Accurate discrimination of structurally similar antibiotics remains a major challenge due to the limited resolving capability of conventional sensing signals. Tetracycline antibiotics, which often coexist in complex matrices, typically generate highly overlapping responses, hindering reliable identification. Herein, a dual-emission fluorescence sensing platform based on Eu 3+ -functionalized silver nanoclusters (AgNCs@Eu 3+ ) was developed to generate analyte-dependent signal patterns. Upon interaction with tetracyclines, the green emission of AgNCs is selectively attenuated through the inner filter effect, while the coordination between tetracyclines and Eu 3+ activates a characteristic red emission by the antenna effect. The synergistic modulation of these two signals produces partially overlapping but distinguishable fluorescence fingerprints for different tetracycline species. To resolve these subtle differences, machine learning algorithms were employed to decode the dual-channel fluorescence responses. The optimized model enables accurate classification of tetracycline, oxytetracycline, doxycycline, and chlortetracycline, with an accuracy up to 0.99. The platform further demonstrates robust performance in pharmaceutical, milk, and environmental water samples, maintaining reliable discrimination despite matrix interference. This work establishes a strategy that couples mechanism-defined dual-emission sensing with data-driven analysis, providing a practical route for the identification of structurally similar analytes in complex systems.

In this study, a novel solvent-assisted strategy was developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of kanamycin (KAN) based on glutathione-capped silver-doped gold nanoclusters (AuAg NCs). Ethanol solvent played a key role in disrupting the hydration shell of metal(I)-thiolate complexes in AuAg NCs. KAN, as a specific linker between AuAg NCs through electrostatic interaction and metal-amine coordination, induced the formation of large aggregates and thus triggered prolonged photoluminescence lifetime as well as strong luminescence enhancement by restricting molecular motions in AuAg NCs. The KAN-stimulated turn-on principle allows AuAg NCs to exhibit 4-fold sensitivity in 40% ethanol/water (V/V) mixed solution compared to that in water. The improved aggregation-induced-emission enhancement (AIEE) feature endows the AuAg NCs with selective recognition for KAN and realizes rapid detection in a short response time of 60 s with a low detection limit of 8.6 nM. By integrating AuAg NCs with a Pasteur pipette, a facile sample-to-answer test kit for on-site determination with low cost and high efficiency was constructed, offering potential applications in the timely analysis of contaminants in environmental emergencies.

BACKGROUND New drugs are urgently needed for the treatment of liver cancer, a feat that could be feasibly accomplished by finding new therapeutic purposes for marketed drugs to save time and costs. As a new class of national anti-infective drugs, carrimycin (CAM) has strong activity against gram-positive bacteria and no cross resistance with similar drugs. Studies have shown that the components of CAM have anticancer effects. AIM To obtain a deeper understanding of CAM, its distribution, metabolism and anti-inflammatory effects were assessed in the organs of mice, and its mechanism of action against liver cancer was predicted by a network pharmacology method. METHODS In this paper, the content of isovaleryl spiramycin III was used as an index to assess the distribution and metabolism of CAM and its effect on inflammatory factors in various mouse tissues and organs. Reverse molecular docking technology was utilized to determine the target of CAM, identify each target protein based on disease type, and establish a target protein-disease type network to ascertain the effect of CAM in liver cancer. Then, the key action targets of CAM in liver cancer were screened by a network pharmacology method, and the core targets were verified by molecular docking and visual analyses. RESULTS The maximum CAM concentration was reached in the liver, kidney, lung and spleen 2.5 h after intragastric administration. In the intestine, the maximum drug concentration was reached 0.5 h after administration. In addition, CAM significantly reduced the interleukin-4 (IL-4) levels in the lung and kidney and especially the liver and spleen; moreover, CAM significantly reduced the IL-1β levels in the spleen, liver, and kidney and particularly the small intestine and lung. CAM is predicted to regulate related pathways by acting on many targets, such as albumin, estrogen receptor 1, epidermal growth factor receptor and caspase 3, to treat cancer, inflammation and other diseases. CONCLUSION We determined that CAM inhibited inflammation. We also predicted the complex multitargeted effects of CAM that involve multiple pathways and the diversity of these effects in the treatment of liver cancer, which provides a basis and direction for further clinical research.

In this study, carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) were first proposed for the quantitative detection of chlortetracycline (CTC) based on aggregation induced emission. CPDs were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal assay using polyethylene imine as the sole precursor. CPDs showed bright blue fluorescence under UV light (λEx 350 nm and λEm 465 nm), with a quantum yield of 14.58%. There was a significant fluorescence enhancement for the CPDs + CTC system. When the concentration of CTC increased, the fluorescence color of CPDs displayed a significant change from bright blue to dark blue with the maximum emission shifting from 465 nm to 430 nm. Furthermore, the lifetime of CPDs + CTC increased from 7.12 ns to 11.26 ns, an increment of 4.14 ns, which was ascribed to the aggregation induced emission of CTC in the presence of CPDs. There was a good linear response between the fluorescence intensity of CPDs and the concentration of CTC from 0.1 μM to 120 μM with a limit of detection of 40 nM. Therefore, an excellent fluorescence probe was successfully prepared for the detection of CTC and its application in real samples was confirmed.

In this study, nine chitosan derivatives containing aromatic five-membered heterocycles were prepared and the effects of different grafting methods on the biological activities of chitosan derivatives were investigated. The structures of all the compounds were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, while the antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial activities of the chitosan derivatives were tested. The experimental data suggested that the chitosan derivatives had outstanding inhibitory ability against Fusarium graminearum , Fusarium oxysporum f . sp . cucumbrum , Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . At the same time, some of the compounds showed strong scavenging ability against DPPH radical and superoxide radical. Cytotoxicity experiments have demonstrated that some chitosan derivatives are non-toxic to L929 cells. More importantly, compared to chitosan, these chitosan derivatives have good water solubility and can be used as potential polymers for antifungal and antibacterial biomaterials in agriculture.

We successfully prepared a series ofl-arginine Schiff bases acylated chitosan derivatives, aiming to improve the antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity of chitosan by introducing a furan ring, pyridine ring, andl-arginine structure. The accuracy of the structures of ten compounds was characterized by FT-IR and1H NMR. In terms of DPPH radical scavenging activity, except for compound CR3PCA, the scavenging rate of other compounds was higher than chitosan, especially CRCF and CRBF had strong scavenging abilities. At the same time, in the superoxide-radical scavenging activity assay, CRCF, CRBF, CR3PCA, CR2C3PCA, and CR2B3PCA were comparable to positive control at 1.60 mg/mL. Simultaneously, CRFF, CRCF, and CRBF had a certain inhibitory effect onBotrytis cinerea. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of CRFF, CRCF, and CR3PCA onStaphylococcus aureuswas very well, close to the positive control at 1.00 mg/mL. CRCF and CR2B3PCA showed better inhibitory effects onEscherichia colithan other compounds. The MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of the chitosan derivatives, which proved their safety to fibroblast cells. In summary, the study indicated that some of these compounds have the potential for further development and utilization in the preparation of antioxidants and antimicrobial agents.Keywords:chitosan;l-arginine Schiff bases;heterocyclic compounds
