The phosphorus (III) ligands were crucial for the further improvement of homogeneous nickel catalysts that were employed in the isomerization of 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile (2M3BN) to 3-pentenenitrile (3PN). The catalytic behavior of 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb 1 )Ni complex was improved in cumene and the conversion of 2M3BN showed zero-order kinetic. The mechanism behind the isomerization was amended and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the reductive elimination step forming 3PN was kinetically relevant in catalytic cycles. An optimal bite angle of nickel-diphosphine complex around 104.7° provided excellent catalytic performance. The key factors governing isomerization were unraveled. The steric effect determined the reactivity, while the electronic effect governed the selectivity of the isomerization reaction. The bite angle – a vital descriptor – would associate with the steric and electronic effects of diphosphines. These structure-activity relationships provided important guidance for ligand design in the isomerization of 2M3BN.

An easily prepared amino acid ionic liquid (AAIL) i.e. [TBP][Arg] comprising a tetra-butylphosphonium cation and an arginine anion was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones from 2-aminobenzonitriles and CO2 under solvent-free conditions. As a result, various 2-aminobenzonitriles bearing electron-withdrawing or electron-donating substituents worked well to afford quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones in excellent yields. Notably, this type of AAIL showed good stability, and could be easily recovered and reused five times without significant loss of its catalytic activity. This process represents an alternative approach for greener chemical fixation of CO2 to afford valuable compounds.

Electrochemical water splitting is a very prospective technique to obtain the green hydrogen fuel . The oxygen evolution reaction becomes a limitation owing to the multiple electron transfer process. Thereby, a lot of attention is paid on the development of noble-metal free electrocatalysts for boosting the water oxidation process . The heterostructure of Mn 3 O 4 nanoparticles on Cu(OH) 2 nanowire arrays is fabricated, which exhibits an electrocatalytic activity close to RuO 2 . Compared with the single (hydro)oxides, the largely improved performance of the heterostructure towards water oxidation can be attributed to the enhanced charge transfer by the electronic interaction across the interface and the increased active sites for the rational combination of different active species . This work can be valuable for highlighting the role of heterostructure in the design and development of novel transition metal-based electrocatalysts for water oxidation.

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is seriously threatening human health. Following SARS-CoV-2 infection, immune cell infiltration creates an inflammatory and oxidative microenvironment, which can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death. Clinically, a safe and effective treatment strategy remains to be established. Herein, a nano-bait strategy for inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection by redirecting viral attack while simultaneously relieving inflammation is developed. Specifically, the nano-bait was based on the exosome-sheathed polydopamine (PDA@Exosome) nanoparticles, which were generated by exocytosis of the PDA nanoparticles from H293T cells. In this approach, PDA@Exosome inherits from the source cells of H293T cells a surface display of ACE2 through pre-engineered expression. The resulting PDA@Exosome can compete with ACE2-expressing epithelial cells for S protein binding, in either the pre-exposure or post-exposure route. Moreover, relying on the ability of PDA to intercept and deactivate radical species, the PDA@Exosome can significantly attenuate the level of inflammatory cytokines by mediating oxidative stress, a major cause of organ injury. Due to its high trapping, multiple antioxidant ability, and good biocompatibility, the HACE2-exosome based nano-bait is a promising robust antiviral nanotherapeutics for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

We have developed a diversity-oriented, substrate-controlled, chemoselective synthetic method for a variety of structurally diverse 1-sulfonylquinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and 2-sulfonamidobenzonitriles. This substrate-controlled synthesis is accomplished through the condensation reaction of 2-(sulfonamido)benzamides with or without an N-methyl group on the amides. The reactions are fulfilled within half an hour at room temperature with solid triphosgene as a convenient condensing agent and pyridine as an acid acceptor. This protocol features easily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, easy experimental operation, and moderate to excellent yields of products.

A competitive chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) method for porcine β-defensin-2 (pBD-2) detection in transgenic mice was established. Several factors that affect detection, including luminol, p -iodophenol and hydrogen peroxide concentrations, as well as pH, were studied and optimized. The linear range of the proposed method for pBD-2 detection under optimal conditions was 0.05–80 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9960. Eleven detections of a 30 ng/mL pBD-2 standard sample were performed. Reproducible results were obtained with a relative standard deviation of 3.94%. The limit of detection of the method for pBD-2 was 3.5 pg/mL (3σ). The proposed method was applied to determine pBD-2 expression levels in the tissues of pBD-2 transgenic mice, and compared with LC-MS/MS and quantitative real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. This suggests that the CLEIA can be used as a valuable method to detect and quantify pBD-2. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus's worldwide pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for reliable, quick, and affordable diagnostic tests for comprehending and controlling the epidemic by tracking the world population. Given how crucial it is to monitor and manage the pandemic, researchers have recently concentrated on creating quick detection techniques. Although PCR is still the preferred clinical diagnostic test, there is a pressing need for substitutes that are sufficiently rapid and cost-effective to provide a diagnosis at the time of use. The creation of a quick and simple POC equipment is necessary for home testing. Our review's goal is to provide an overview of the many methods utilized to identify SARS-CoV 2 in various samples utilizing portable devices, as well as any potential applications for smartphones in epidemiological research and detection. The point of care (POC) employs a range of microfluidic biosensors based on smartphones, including molecular sensors, immunological biosensors, hybrid biosensors, and imaging biosensors. For example, a number of tools have been created for the diagnosis of COVID-19, based on various theories. Integrated portable devices can be created using loop-mediated isothermal amplification, which combines isothermal amplification methods with colorimetric detection. Electrochemical approaches have been regarded as a potential substitute for optical sensing techniques that utilize fluorescence for detection and as being more beneficial to the Minimizing and simplicity of the tools used for detection, together with techniques that can amplify DNA or RNA under constant temperature conditions, without the need for repeated heating and cooling cycles. Many research have used smartphones for virus detection and data visualization, making these techniques more user-friendly and broadly distributed throughout nations. Overall, our research provides a review of different novel, non-invasive, affordable, and efficient methods for identifying COVID-19 contagious infected people and halting the disease's transmission.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is one of the most important platform molecules and could be transformed into a variety of fuel additives and high value-added chemicals. Multiple catalyst systems have been developed for the conversion of carbohydrates to HMF, but there are still unavoidable problems, including high temperature and pressure, difficult recovery of solvent, corrosion of equipment, poor catalyst circulation, etc. Herein, a new magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2@mSiO2-TaOPO4 catalyst for the preparation of HMF from fructose in 2-pentanol was developed. The structures of the catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, TSM, EDS, SEM, XRD and VSM. The 2-pentanol solvent is not only conducive to the production of HMF, but also enables the reaction to be carried out at a lower pressure. The highest yield of HMF (85.4%) was obtained using 20 wt% catalyst under 10% substrate concentration (0.5 g of fructose) at 120 °C for 3 h. The catalysts can be easily separated by magnetism. The slight decrease in catalyst activity after 7 cycles was mainly due to the loss of catalyst during the cycle operation. Simultaneously, the total yield of HMF was 51.3% after scale-up to 15 g of fructose, showing the possible industrial application potential of this catalyst system.

Introduction: Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a common plasticizer. Studies have revealed that DEHP exposure can cause kidney damage. Green tea is among the most popular beverages in China. Green tea polyphenols (GTPs) have been proven to have therapeutic effects on organ damage induced by heavy metal exposure. However, few studies have reported on GTP-relieving DEHP-induced kidney damage. Methods: C57BL/6J male mice aged 6–8 weeks were treated with distilled water (control group), 1,500 mg/kg/d DEHP + corn oil (model group), 1,500 mg/kg/d DEHP + corn oil + 70 mg/kg GTP (treatment group), corn oil (oil group), and 70 mg/kg GTP (GTP group) by gavage for 8 weeks, respectively. The renal function of mice and renal tissue histopathology of each group were evaluated. The renal tissues of mice in the model, treatment, and control groups were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. We calculated the differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) using the limma R package, the CIBERSORT algorithm was used to predict immune infiltration, the starBase database was used to screen the miRNA-mRNA regulatory axis, and immunohistochemical analyses were performed to verify protein expression. Results: GTP alleviated the deterioration of renal function, renal inflammation and fibrosis, and mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum lesions induced by DEHP in mice. Differential immune infiltrations of plasma, dendritic, T, and B cells were noted between the model and treatment groups. We found that three differentially expressed miRNAs (mmu-miR-383-5p, mmu-miR-152-3p, and mmu-miR-144-3p), three differentially expressed mRNAs (Ddit4, Dusp1, and Snx18), and three differentially expressed proteins (Ddit4, Dusp1, and Snx18) played crucial roles in the miRNA-mRNA-protein regulatory axes when GTPs mitigate DEHP-induced kidney damage in mice. Conclusion: GTP can alleviate DEHP-induced kidney damage and regulate immune cell infiltration. We screened four important miRNA-mRNA-protein regulatory axes of GTP, mitigating DEHP-induced kidney damage in mice

Background Interstitial pneumonia, particularly usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), is a disease with progressive and fatal disorder, and limited treatment options. Xiebai San (XBS), a classical Chinese herbal formula, has shown clinical promise but its mechanism of action remains unclear. Purpose To clarify the effects and mechanism of XBS on interstitial pneumonia. Methods The in vivo pharmacochemical analysis (UPLC-Q-Exactive-Orbitrap MS/MS), network pharmacology, and GEO database analysis (GSE10667) were applied to predict potential targets of XBS on interstitial pneumonia. BLM-induced mice received XBS (1.4, 2.8, 5.6 g/kg) or dexamethasone (0.5 mg/kg) for 21 days. Lung index, histopathology observation (H&E, Collagen-1 IHC), pulmonary function, and biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress and fibrosis were used to evaluated the efficacy of XBS. Reverse-phase protein microarray (RPPM), RT-qPCR, and Western blotting were integrated to clarify its mechanism. Results Thirty-seven components of XBS were identified in vivo , and they were associated with 237 potential targets for interstitial pneumonia. And GEO analysis confirmed the upregulation of key nodes (NCOA2, ESR1, and ESR2) in patients. XBS significantly attenuated BLM-induced lung damage, evidenced by reduced lung index, improved pulmonary function (Penh, EEP, PIF, PEF), decreased inflammatory infiltrates, collagen deposition, and alveolar destruction. XBS suppressed proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β), oxidative stress (MDA, MPO), restored antioxidants (GSH, SOD), and inhibited fibrotic factors (TGF-β1, α-SMA, Collagen-1/3). Mechanistically, XBS downregulated the mRNA and protein expression of NCOA2 and ESR1/2, subsequently inhibiting glycolytic metabolic reprogramming (G6PC, PFKFB3, HIF-1α) and the TGF-β1/ERK1/2-Smad7 pro-fibrotic signaling pathway. Conclusion XBS alleviates BLM-induced interstitial pneumonia via NCOA2-ESR1/2-driven glycolytic metabolic reprogramming and TGF-β1/ERK1/2-Smad7 fibrotic signaling, offering a mechanistic rationale for interstitial pneumonia.

2′-Fucosyllactose (2′-FL), a human milk oligosaccharide with prebiotic properties, has been incorporated into infant formula. α-Lactalbumin (α-LA), a key milk protein, may undergo the Maillard reaction with 2′-FL upon heating and extended storage. However, the impact of this reaction on the prebiotic activity of 2′-FL remains unclear. This study confirmed the formation of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) through the measurement of furosine and free 2′-FL levels. Mass spectrometry analysis identified that α-LA can conjugate with seven 2′-FL molecules, resulting in high-molecular-weight MRPs. In vitro assays revealed that α-LA-2′-FL complexes significantly reduced the growth and metabolism of Bifidobacterium , as evidenced by a 47 % decrease in Bifidobacterium density and a 62 % decrease in the production of short-chain fatty acids. These findings highlight for the first time the reduced prebiotic properties of 2′-FL upon interaction with α-LA, providing valuable insights for preserving the functional properties of infant formula during formulation and storage.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease with an increasing incidence worldwide. 2’-Fucosyllactose (2’-FL) is the most abundant fucosylated neutral human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), accounting for approximately 31% of the total HMOs content, and shows considerable potential in alleviating UC. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of 2’-FL on DSS-induced colitis in mice and explore its potential mechanisms. The results showed that HMO alleviated the symptoms of DSS-induced colitis in mice by alleviating weight loss, reducing the disease activity index (DAI), increasing the length of the mouse colon and improving the spleen index; HMO enhanced intestinal barrier function by repairing colon tissue damage, reducing intestinal permeability (DAO and D-LA), increasing the expression of Tight junctions (TJs), promoting the production of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10, and inhibiting cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α). In addition, the activation of the colitis-related NF-κB pathway was significantly inhibited after HMO intervention. Furthermore, metagenomic analysis revealed that HMO intervention in colitis mice significantly increased the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes, Parabacteroidetes, Parabacteroides and Prevotella .; non-targeted metabolomics analysis demonstrated that HMO modulated the host's bile acid metabolism by preserving the level of deoxycholic acid. To further investigate the molecular mechanisms affecting bile acid metabolism, enzyme scanning was performed based on species-level genome enriched in different groups. The results showed that the bacteria mainly enriched in the HMO treatment group showed greater potential in encoding bile salt hydrolases (BSH) responsible for the dissociation of primary bile acids and 7α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (7α-HSDs) that produce secondary bile acids. In summary, this study showed that HMO intervention changed the composition of the intestinal flora, and the specially enriched intestinal microorganisms regulated the host's secondary bile acid metabolism, thereby effectively alleviating colon inflammation in mice.
