3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is an important platform chemical in organic synthesis. Traditionally, 3-HP was produced by chemical methods and fermentation process. In this work, a novel enzymatic method was developed for green synthesis of 3-HP. A yeast strain harboring nitrile-hydrolyzing enzyme was newly isolated from environmental samples using 3-hydroxypropionitrile (3-HPN) as the sole nitrogen source. It was identified to be Meyerozyma guilliermondii CGMCC12935 by sequencing of the 18S ribosomal DNA and internal transcribed spacer, together with analysis of the morphology characteristics. The catalytic properties of M. guilliermondii CGMCC12935 resting cells were determined, and the optimum activity was achieved at 55 °C and pH 7.5. The enzyme showed broad substrate specificity towards nitriles, especially 3-HPN, aminoacetonitrile and 3-cyanopyridine. The presence of Ag + , Pb 2+ and excess substrate inhibited the enzyme activity, whereas 5% (v/v) ethyl acetate had a positive effect on the enzyme activity. M. guilliermondii CGMCC12935 resting cells by addition of 3% glucose could thoroughly hydrolyze 500 mM 3-HPN into 3-HP within 100 h and the maximal accumulative production of 3-HP reached 216.33 mM, which was over twofolds than the control group with no additional glucose. And this work would lay the foundation for biological production of 3-HP in industry.

Huperzine A (HupA) is used in Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy for its effective inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and enhancement of cholinergic neuronal function. However, direct oral administration and injection of HupA cause side effects like nausea, anorexia, and rapid metabolism. Using a tripolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -3-hydroxyvalerate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate (PBVHx), from the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) family synthesized via synthetic biology, we present a novel AD therapy strategy with peritoneally administered PBVHx microspheres loaded with HupA (HupA-PBVHxMs). This approach extends HupA's metabolic duration in the blood and brain, enhancing AChE inhibition efficacy. Uniformly sized HupA-PBVHxMs, created using microfluidics and rotary evaporation, show up to 70.4 % drug encapsulation efficiency, sustained HupA release for 40 days, reduced neurotoxicity from Aβ25–35, and maintained in vivo HupA supply and AChE inhibition for over 20 days. In cognitive tests, HupA-PBVHxMs improved function in AD mice. Thus, PBVHx microspheres with slower HupA release and lower biotoxicity offer a superior platform for sustained AChE inhibitor release, outperforming commercial PLGA microspheres.

A novel block polyurethane was designed and synthesized based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), 4,4′-diphenylmethanediisocyanate (MDI) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The obtained polyurethanes were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). Furthermore, the biodegradability of the synthesized polyurethanes was evaluated at 37 °C in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 7.4. The results showed that these PHBV-based polyurethanes were degradable in PBS, as indicated by weight loss measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR. The cytotoxicity of the novel polyurethane was evaluated using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay in vitro. Preliminary evaluation of hemocompatibility was carried out via the hemolysis test, dynamic blood coagulation time and platelet adhesion. The current work provides a promising approach to prepare nontoxic and biodegradable polyurethanes with excellent mechanical properties and good hemocompatibility. This new material may find potential application in blood vessel tissue engineering.

Sustainable nanocomposites with transparent, biodegradable, and enhanced mechanical and barrier properties were prepared by the incorporation of SiO 2 into poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) films and subsequent solvent casting. The crystallinity of composites could be increased by 67% with appropriate contents of SiO 2 , which proved that SiO 2 were effective nucleating agents for PHBH. And it was worth mentioning that the contributions of SiO 2 to the crystallization and thermal stability of composites are proved effectively by Avrami relationship and Horowitz and Metzger method. More importantly, compared with PHBH, it had not only an enhancement about 40% and 60% on the tensile strength and elastic modulus, respectively, but also half the reduction of the moisture and oxygen permeability which were much higher than the values of conventional plastics. The above, in conjunction with the low migration rate measured in food substitutes, illustrated unambiguously that the nanocomposites might be suitable for potential application in food packaging.

Hyperbranched polymer with flexible long chains (Ɛ-CL) were synthesized based on hydroxyl terminated hyperbranched polyesters (HBPEs). The prepared HBP-CLs were used to toughen poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) by melt-blending. Comparing with pure PHBV, the crystallinity (X c ) of the PHBV/3.0phr HBP-CLs blends decreased by 10.2% (from 67.8 to 60.9%), the impact strength increased by 533.3% (from 5.1 kJ·m − 2 to 32.3 kJ·m − 2 ), and the elongation at break increased by 160.5% (from 1.62 to 4.22%). With the increase of HBP-CLs, the fracture surface of the PHBV/HBP-CLs blends became rough and a significant decrease in crystallization area can be seen from POM images. Even filamentous structures and tiny holes was formed, which further demonstrated that HBP-CLs acted as an excellent toughening effect on PHBV.

A 3-hydroxypyridine degrading bacterium, designated strain DW-1, was isolated from petroleum contaminated soil in Liao River China. 16S rRNA-based phylogenetic analysis indicates that strain DW-1 belongs to genus Agrobacterium. The optimal cultivation temperature and pH for strain DW-1 with 3-hydroxypyridine were 30 °C and 8.0, respectively. Under optimal conditions, strain DW-1 could completely degrade up to 1500 mg/L of 3-hydroxypyridine in 66 h. The 3-hydroxypyridine degradation pathway of strain DW-1 was suggested by HPLC and LC–MS analysis. The first reaction of 3-hydroxypyridine degradation in strain DW-1 was α-hydroxylation so that the major metabolite 2,5-dihydroxypyridine was produced, and then 2,5-dihydroxypyridine was transformed by a Fe2+-dependent dioxygenase to form N-formylmaleamic acid. N-Formylmaleamic acid will be transformed to maleic acid and fumaric acid through maleamic acid. This is the first report of the 3-hydroxypyridine degradation pathway and the utilization of 3-hydroxypyridine by a Agrobacterium sp. It may be potentially used for the bioremediation of environments polluted with 3-hydroxypyridine.

3-hydroxybutyraldehyde (3-HBA) is mainly employed to synthesize 1,3-BDO (1,3-butanediol), which is one of the most important components in cosmetics moisturizers. In this study, a series of composite oxide catalysts were prepared by bringing alkaline earth metal Ca and rare earth metal La to the composite oxide MgO/Al2O3, which were made through the co-precipitation method. These catalysts were applied in the synthesis of 3-HBA through acetaldehyde (AcH) condensation. The structure, texture, and acidic properties of these catalysts were characterized using various characterization methods, and the effects of catalyst composition, reaction temperature, reaction pressure, and residence time on the conversion of AcH were investigated as well. The results showed that the introduction of Ca and La weakened the acidic property and enhanced the basic property, which favored the AcH condensation to synthesize 3-HBA. At a temperature of 20 °C, pressure of 200 kPa, and residence time of 70 min, 0.5%La-2.3%Ca-2MgO/Al2O3exhibited a better catalytic activity, and the conversion of AcH reached 95.89%. The selectivity and yield of 3-HBA were 92.08% and 88.30%, respectively. The stability test indicated that the high AcH conversion could be maintained for 5 h.Keywords:composite oxides;acetaldehyde;condensation catalyst;3-hydroxybutyraldehyde

An efficient, sensitive, and low-cost method has been developed for turn-on fluorescence sensing of dopamine (DA). The method relies on the rapid reaction of DA and 3-Hydroxyphenylboronic acid (3-HPBA) via specific recognition between boronic acids and cis-diol of DA in alkaline solution. The reaction product shows an excitation wavelength of 417 nm and the maximum emission peak at 470 nm. The proposed method allows the determination of DA in the range of 50 nM–25 μM, and the whole detection can be completed within 5 minutes. Furthermore, the presented approach has good selectivity and has been successfully applied to DA sensing in human serum samples, showing great potential in clinical diagnosis.

3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a top value-added chemical with multifaceted application in chemical, material, and food field. However, limited availability of robust strains and elevated fermentation costs currently impose constraints on sustainable biosynthesis of 3-HP. Herein, transporter engineering, metabolic dynamic modulation, and enzyme engineering were combined to address above limitations. First, a glucose-utilizing 3-HP biosynthetic pathway was constructed in Escherichia coli , followed by recruiting alternative glucose transport system to overcome center metabolism overflow. Next, the Cra (a transcription factor)-dependent switch was applied to autonomously fine-tune carbon flux, which alleviated growth retardation and improved the 3-HP production. Subsequently, inactivation of glycerol facilitator (GlpF) increased intracellular glycerol levels and boosted 3-HP biosynthesis, but caused toxic intermediate 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA) accumulation. Furthermore, semi-rational design of aldehyde dehydrogenase (YdcW) increased its activity and eliminated 3-HPA accumulation. Finally, fed-batch fermentation of the final strain resulted in 52.73 g/L 3-HP, with a yield of 0.59 mol/mol glucose.

Phenyl terminated hyperbranched polyesters (HBP-Bs) were synthesized based on Boltorn-type hydroxyl terminated HBPEs and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, gel permeation chromatography, and so forth. The prepared HBP-Bs were used to toughen poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) directly by melt blending. The thermal properties, rheological properties, mechanical properties, and microstructure of the PHBV/HBP-Bs blends were studied in detail. Comparing with pure PHBV, the crystallinity of the PHBV/0.5 phr HBP-Bs blends decreased by 14.10% (from 64.39% to 55.04%), the impact strength increased by 158.30% (from 7.41 kJ·m −2 to 19.14 kJ·m −2 ), and the elongation at break increased by 400.00% (from 0.91% to 4.55%). It can be seen from the scanning electron microscope that the fracture surface of the PHBV/HBP-Bs blends became rough with the increase of HBP-Bs, even with large filamentous structures and tiny holes, which further demonstrated that HBP-Bs acted as an excellent toughening effect on PHBV.

Gallium , aluminum , and indium belong to Group IIIA of the periodic table with similar chemical properties, which were a double-edged sword for living organisms. Therefore, it's particularly important to detect the content of Group IIIA in organisms. Obviously, the fluorescent probe method has become a mainstream method for detecting metal ions with advantages of convenience and high efficiency. Unfortunately, fluorescent probes that can simultaneously detect these three metal ions are rarely reported. 3-hydroxyflavone ( 3-HF ) is a highly focused molecule with chemical and photochemical properties and have great potential for bioimaging applications as sensors with excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). Here, 3-HF as ratiometric fluorescence probes have been developed for responding to Group IIIA ions including Ga(III), Al(III) and In(III) ions with ESIPT-based mechanism. 3-HF displayed highly specific sensing for Group IIIA ions over other cations with a green fluorescence transformation into blue fluorescence by the formation of 2:1 complexes. However, rapid response toward Group IIIA ions was developed using ratiometric fluorescence with wide pH range and good reversibility , and the response mechanism of 3-HF toward Group IIIA ions was annotated by density functional theory (DFT). Furthermore, the biological applicability of 3-HF has shown that 3-HF were able to detect and image Group IIIA ions in cells. Additionally, using a zebrafish model, we exhibited the capability of this 3-HF probe for detecting and imaging Group IIIA ions in zebrafish. This work achieves the detection and imaging of Group IIIA simultaneously by 3-HF probe in living cells and zebrafish and provides another example for “ESIPT OFF”.
