The intrinsic fragility of hydroxyapatite (HAP) restricts its wider applications for local delivery of antibiotics. The composites formed by integrating HAP with hydrogels can improve the properties of HAP. However, these reported composites not only require tedious preparation and employ organic solvent and toxic reagents, but also hardly have inherent antimicrobial property. In this study, N-(9-Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)-L-Phenylalanine/nano-hydroxyapatite (Fmoc-L-Phe/nHAP) hybrid supramolecular hydrogels with antibacterial property and cytocompatibility was prepared by integrating nHAP as reinforcement with Fmoc-L-Phe supramolecular hydrogels. The results showed that nHAP bounds in the chamber of the gel network and adheres to the fiber of Fmoc-L-Phe due to intermolecular interaction, remarkably improving the mechanical strength of Fmoc-L-Phe supramolecular hydrogels. The results of inhibition zone experiment and MTT experiment showed that the Fmoc-L-Phe/nHAP hybrid supramolecular hydrogels possess antimicrobial property and cytocompatibility. In vitro release experiment of chlorogenic acid (CGA) from the hybrid supramolecular hydrogels was performed. The study of the release kinetics indicated that the release behavior of CGA from the hybrid supramolecular hydrogels is following Weibull model and release mechanism involved Fickian diffusion and erosion of the surface of hydrogel matrix. The release of CGA shows a good inhibition effect on S. aureus . The results show that the Fmoc-L-Phe/nHAP hybrid hydrogels with antibacterial property and cytocompatibility have promising applications as drug delivery carrier.

Trivalent chromium (Cr 3 + ) can cause severely environment pollution, declining quality of edible agro-products in plants and animals, and human diseases. Poly( N -(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)- l -histidine) (PFLH) synthesized by the direct electro-polymerization of its corresponding commercially available monomer in both boron trifluoride diethyl etherate and dichloromethane mixed system. The “turn-on” type fluorescent sensor based on PFLH displayed high sensitivity and selectivity for Cr 3 + detecting. The structure of PFLH was rationally proved by 1 H NMR spectra, FT-IR spectra, quantum chemical calculations , and its optical properties were characterized. The electro-synthesized PFLH exhibited a “turn-on” fluorescent response towards Cr 3 + , which was employed as a sensing platform for the “turn-on” fluorescent analysis of Cr 3 + in a wide linear range from 5.1 nM to 25 μM with a low limit of detection as low as 1.7 nM. The possible mechanism of fluorescent “turn-on” sensor based on PFLH for Cr 3 + was proposed. The sensor displayed high sensitivity, good selectivity, satisfactory practicability, suggesting that PFLH has potential fluorescent application for “turn-on” sensing Cr 3 + in agricultural environments and edible agro-products of plants and animals.

Objective: To observe the antioxidative effects of N-(9,10-anthraquinone-2-ylcarbonyl) xanthine oxidase inhibitors (NAY) in vitro and in vivo models of hyperuricemia and explore the mechanism.Methods: A classical experimental method of acute toxicity and a chronic toxicity test were used to compare the toxic effects of different doses of NAY in mice. The hyperuricemia mouse model was established by gavage of potassium oxonate in vivo. After treatment with different doses of NAY (low dose: 10 mg/kg, medium dose: 20 mg/kg, and high dose: 40 mg/kg) and allopurinol (positive drug, 10 mg/kg), observe the levels of uric acid (UA), creatinine (CRE), and urea nitrogen (BUN) in urine and serum, respectively, and detect the activities of xanthine oxidase in the liver. The hyperuricemia cell model was induced by adenosine and xanthine oxidase in vitro. The cells were given different doses of NAY (50, 100, and 200 μmol/L) and allopurinol (100 μmol/L). Then the culture supernatant UA level of the medium was measured. The next step was to detect the xanthine oxidase activity in the liver and AML12 cells, and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammatory factors in the kidney and serum of mice. Western blot was used to detect xanthine oxidase protein expression in mouse liver tissue and AML12 cells, ASC, Caspase-1, NLRP3, GLUT9, OAT1, and OAT3 protein expression in mouse kidney tissue and HK-2 cells. Hematoxylin–eosin staining was used to stain the liver and kidney tissues of mice and observe the tissue lesions.Results: NAY had little effect on blood routine and biochemical indexes of mice, but significantly reduced the serum UA level. NAY significantly reduced the level of UA in hyperuricemia mice and cells by inhibiting xanthine oxidase activity and reduced the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and other inflammatory factors in serum and kidney of mice. NAY can inhibit inflammation by inhibiting the NLRP3 pathway. In addition, NAY can downregulate GLUT9 protein expression and upregulate OAT1 and OAT3 protein expression to reduce the UA level by promoting UA excretion and inhibiting UA reabsorption.Conclusion: These findings suggested that NAY produced dual hypouricemic actions. On the one hand, it can inhibit the formation of UA by inhibiting xanthine oxidase inhibitors activity, and on the other hand, it can promote the excretion of UA by regulating the UA transporter. It provides new ideas for the development of hyperuricemia drugs in the future.

A CT cocrystal FPTC of donor FPHD and acceptor TCNB was formed via self-assembly. • Donor-acceptor stacking mode and π⋯π interactions were quantified by SCXRD. • CT effect was analyzed through detailed DFT calculation. • Band-gap and optical modulation were induced by CT via the incorporation of TCNB. Investigation of the structure and optical property of charge transfer (CT) cocrystals comprising electron donors and acceptors is indispensable to clarify intrinsic relationships between donors and acceptors and construct new organic fluorescent materials. Herein, the electron donor ( E )-N’-(9-phenanthrylmethylene) benzohydrazide (FPHD), and acceptor 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarbonitrile (TCNB) formed cocrystal FPTC (FPHD-TCNB) through supramolecular self-assembly. The crystal structure and π⋯π stacking mode of cocrystal FPTC were identified through single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The variation of C ≡ N stretch wavenumbers of TCNB and FPTC in Fourier-transform infrared spectra and the 75 nm red-shift in solid-state ultraviolet visible diffuse reflectance spectra confirmed the formation of cocrystal FPTC. Additionally, the 119 nm red-shift in solid-state fluorescence emission spectra indicated enhanced fluorescence, prolonged average fluorescence lifetime and elevated quantum yield of cocrystal FPTC. Through density functional theory (DFT), the weak interactions in cocrystal FPTC were analyzed, confirming the CT effect in FPTC. Furthermore, the narrowed band gap due to CT effect resulted in the change of transition dipole moment under excited state in cocrystal FPTC, directly leading to improved optical property of FPTC. This study illustrated CT effect on the structure and optical property of cocrystal FPTC via experimental exploration and theoretical analysis, providing a new strategy for novel organic fluorescent materials and endowing the cocrystal with promising research value for optoelectronic applications.

A rapid, sensitive, and selective precolumn derivatization method for the simultaneous determination of eight thiophenols using 3-(2-bromoacetamido)- N -(9-ethyl-9 H )-carbazol as a labeling reagent by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection has been developed. The labeling reagent reacted with thiophenols at 50°C for 50 min in aqueous acetonitrile in the presence of borate buffer (0.10 mol/L, pH 11.2) to give high yields of thiophenol derivatives. The derivatives were identified by online postcolumn mass spectrometry. The collision-induced dissociation spectra for thiophenol derivatives gave the corresponding specific fragment ions at m/z 251.3, 223.3, 210.9, 195.8, and 181.9. At the same time, derivatives exhibited intense fluorescence with an excitation maximum at λ ex = 276 nm and an emission maximum at λ em = 385 nm. Excellent linear responses were observed for all analytes over the range of 0.033–6.66 μmol/L with correlation coefficients of more than 0.9997. Detection limits were in the range of 0.94–5.77 μg/L with relative standard deviations of less than 4.54%. The feasibility of derivatization allowed the development of a rapid and highly sensitive method for the quantitative analysis of trace levels of thiophenols from some rubber products. The average recoveries ( n = 3) were in the range of 87.21–101.12%.
