R -2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionicacid (HPOPA) is a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure aryloxyphenoxypropionic acid herbicides. In this work, to improve the HPOPA biosynthesis by Beauveria bassiana ZJB16002 from the substrate R -2-phenoxypropionic acid (POPA), the original HPOPA producer B. bassiana ZJB16002 was subjected to physical mutagenesis with 137 Cs-γ irradiation and chemical mutagen N -methyl- N' -nitro- N -nitrasoguanidine (NTG) induced mutagenesis. The effects of different treatment doses of the mutagens on the lethal rate and positive mutation rate were investigated, and the results showed that the optimal 137 Cs-γirradiation dose and NTG concentration was 850 Gy and 500 µg/mL, respectively. Under these conditions, a mutant strain CCN-7 with the highest HPOPA production capacity was obtained through two rounds of 137 Cs-γ irradiation treatment followed by one round of NTG mutagenesis. At the substrate (POPA) concentration of 50 g/L, HPOPA titer of CCN-7 reached 36.88 g/L, which was 9.73-fold higher than the parental strain. The morphology of the wild-type and mutant strain was compared and the results might provide helpful information in exploration of the correlation of morphology and biochemical features of B. bassiana .

Two novel chiral 3,4-dihydro-2 H -thieno[3,4- b ][1,4]dioxepine (ProDOT)-based electrochemical sensor , employing a pair of glassy carbon electrodes modified with chiral poly(2-Phenyl-propionic acid 3,4-dihydro-2 H -thieno[3,4- b ][1,4]dioxepin-3-ylmethyl ester) (PProDTM-PP), were utilized for the enantioselective detection of chiral 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). The enantioselective recognition between chiral PProDTM-PP modified glassy carbon electrodes and chiral DOPA was studied by using different electrochemical technologies. The redox activity and electrochemical stability of chiral PProDTM-PP was good. ( R )-PProDTM-PP and ( S )-PProDTM-PP showed higher peak current responses toward D -DOPA and L -DOPA, respectively. Furthermore, the recognition efficiencies of chiral PProDTM-PP are between 1.48 and 1.89, which is higher than chiral PEDOT-based electrochemical sensors (around 1.10). The chiral PProDTM-PP provides an alternative to chiral recognition.

Food contact materials contain non-intentionally added substances from degradation, and reaction processes could rise food safety problems. Three polypropylene random copolymer composite films were prepared by extruding the polypropylene random copolymer matrix with Irgafos 168, Irgafos 168 and nanocopper, Irgafos 168 and KH550 modified nanocooper, respectively. To evaluate the degradation behaviors of Irgafos 168, the films were treated by UV irradiation, microwave treatment, sunlight exposure, placed in different oxygen concentration conditions, suffered the extrusion process, and high temperature. Migration test was conducted at 20°C, 40°C, and 70°C with films tested in food simulant. GC-MS was adopted to determine the concentration of Irgafos 168 and its two degradation products, 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (DP1) and tris (2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphate (DP2). UV irradiation significantly accelerated the degradation of Irgafos 168 compared with other treatments; DP1 and DP2 increased to maximum value at 24 hours and decreased afterwards, simultaneously. The introduction of nanocopper notably promoted DP1 generation after extrusion whereas suppressed DP2 generation which also caused a higher degradation rate of Irgafos 168 and sharp decrease of DP1 under microwave treatment, sunlight exposure, and high temperature treatment. No significant difference between the effects of nanocopper and KH550 modified nanocopper on degradation of Irgafos 168 was found. For the migration test, the introduction of nanocopper inhibited the migration of Irgafos 168 and DP2 whereas promoted the migration of DP1. No significant difference between the introduction of nanocopper and KH550 modified nanocopper on migration of Irgafos 168 and DP1, DP2 was found.

Novel red phosphors R 3 P 4 O 13 :Bi 2+ (R = Sr and Ba) are synthesized by solid state reaction method in air, and their crystal structures and fluorescence properties are characterized. The excitation bands peaking at ∼440 nm match with the blue LED chip, and their red emission band peaking at ∼658 and 686 nm within the range 580–800 nm owing to 2 P 3/2 (1) → 2 P 1/2 the transition of Bi 2+ ions can be observed, respectively. The relation between Bi 2+ doping concentration and emission intensity is discussed and the optimal Bi 2+ ion doping concentration is ∼3.0 mol%. Decay curves and time-resolved spectra confirm that R 3 P 4 O 13 :Bi 2+ (R = Sr and Ba) phosphors have only single Bi 2+ center. The luminous mechanism is explained by energy level diagram of Bi 2+ . The luminescence properties indicate that R 3 P 4 O 13 :Bi 2+ (R = Sr and Ba) phosphors have a potential to be used as red emitting phosphor candidate for white LEDs based on ∼440 nm blue LED chip.

In this study, electron transport pathways were activated and diversified by coupling counter-diffusion biofilms with micro-electrolysis for Alizarin yellow R (AYR) denitrogenation. Due to the binding of AYR to two residues of EC 4.1.3.36 with higher binding energy, the expression of EC 4.1.3.36 was down-regulated, causing the EC 3.1.2.28 and EC 2.5.1.74 for menaquinone synthesis (redox mediator) undetectable in Membrane aerated biofilm reactors (MABR). Spontaneous electron generation in the micro electrolysis-coupled MABR (ME-MABR) significantly activated two enzymes. Activated menaquinone up-regulated decolourisation related genes expression in ME-MABR, including azoR (2.12 log 2 ), NQO1 (2.97 log 2 ), wrbA (0.45 log 2 ), and ndh (0.47 log 2 ). The diversified electron flow pathways also promoted the nitrogen metabolism coding genes up-regulation, accelerating further inorganic nitrogen denitrogenation after AYR mineralisation. Compared to MABR, the decolourisation, mineralisation, and denitrogenation in ME-MABR increased by 25.80 %, 16.53 %, and 13.32 %, respectively. This study provides new insights into micro-electrolysis enhanced removal of AYR.

Introduction RNA interference (RNAi) stands as a widely employed gene interference technology, with small interfering RNA (siRNA) emerging as a promising tool for cancer treatment. However, the inherent limitations of siRNA, such as easy degradation and low bioavailability, hamper its efficacy in cancer therapy. To address these challenges, this study focused on the development of a nanocarrier system (HLM-N@DOX/R) capable of delivering both siRNA and doxorubicin for the treatment of breast cancer.Methods The study involved a comprehensive investigation into various characteristics of the nanocarrier, including shape, diameter, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), encapsulation efficiency, and drug loading. Subsequently, in vitro and in vivo studies were conducted on cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, cellular immunofluorescence, lysosome escape, and mouse tumor models to evaluate the efficacy of the nanocarrier in reversing tumor multidrug resistance and anti-tumor effects.Results The results showed that HLM-N@DOX/R had a high encapsulation efficiency and drug loading capacity, and exhibited pH/redox dual responsive drug release characteristics. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that HLM-N@DOX/R inhibited the expression of P-gp by 80%, inhibited MDR tumor growth by 71% and eliminated P protein mediated multidrug resistance.Conclusion In summary, HLM-N holds tremendous potential as an effective and targeted co-delivery system for DOX and P-gp siRNA, offering a promising strategy for overcoming MDR in breast cancer.

To overcome the interference caused by the inner filter effect, this study optimally selected red fluorescence carbon dots as the signal source and constructed a novel dual-mode Ag@Red-CDs nanoprobe for the highly selective detection of Fe³+ using fluorescence and colorimetry. This probe is based on a unique reaction between Fe3+ and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) that weakens the static quenching effect of AgNPs on R-CDs; at the same time, the depletion of AgNPs induces a change in the absorbance of the system. Under optimal conditions, the probe exhibited a linear fluorescence response in the Fe³+ concentration range of 0.10–25.00 μg/mL and a linear colorimetric response of 0.18–8.00 μg/mL. The detection limits for fluorescence and colorimetry were 0.31 μg/mL and 0.56 μg/mL, respectively. In spiked real samples, the fluorescence method achieved Fe³+ recovery rates of 99.10–102.34%, while the colorimetric method showed recovery rates of 99.83–101.42%. Overall, this research significantly broadened the potential applications of R-CDs-based materials for the quantitative detection of heavy metal ions in water bodies.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Acmella oleracea (L.) R. K. Jansen, commonly referred to as “Jambu”, is a valuable medicinal plant native to the Amazon regions. Inflorescences of A. oleracea is utilized as local anesthetic properties and for its insecticidal, antiparasitic, and anthelmintic attributes. Aims of this study This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antiparasitic properties of A. oleracea extract and spilanthol (SPL) against Schistosoma mansoni . Materials and methods The ethanolic extract of A. oleracea inflorescences (AoE) was prepared, analyzed by HPLC-DAD, and characterized by UHPLC-HRMS/MS. SPL was isolated from AoE by chromatographic fractionation. The antischistosomal properties of AoE and SPL were evaluated in vitro against adult schistosomes and in preclinical assays using murine models of patent S. mansoni infection. Results Through UHPLC-HRMS/MS analysis, 14 alkamides were annotated in AoE. HPLC-DAD analysis of AoE revealed a peak with a substantial relative area of ∼85%, which was isolated and identified as SPL. AoE and SPL caused mortality of adult schistosomes ex vivo , showing EC 50 values of 32.6 μg/mL and 27.8 μM, respectively, without affected Vero cells or Caenorhabditis elegans . In preclinical studies, the oral administration (400 mg/kg) of AoE and SPL resulted in significant reductions in worm burden of 28% and ∼42%, respectively. Additionally, SPL exhibits remarkable effects on oogram, decreasing egg burden and the number of immature eggs by over 80%, while also promoting significant reductions in hepato- and splenomegaly. Conclusions The research underscores the antischistosomal activity of A. oleracea highlighting the potential of SPL as a lead for the development of new schistosomicidal drugs and encouraging further studies to validate the traditional anthelmintic use of A. oleracea inflorescences.

The effects of amino acids with different R-groups, namely glutamic acid (GLU), glutamine (GLN), and theanine (THE), on the pasting and structure properties of corn starch (CS) were investigated. During gelatinization, GLU decreased viscosity of CS. GLN and THE increased pasting enthalpy of CS from 7.62 to 8.72 and 9.50 J/g, respectively. All starch-amino acid systems had higher storage and loss modulus. Amino acids could adhere to starch granule surface. After co-gelatinization, GLU increased short-range order degree of starch, while GLN and THE decreased. Both infrared spectroscopy and quantum computation showed that non-covalent interaction occurred between amino acids and starch. Molecular dynamics revealed that the interaction between GLU and starch weakened hydrogen bonding between starch and water, promoting cross-linking between starch chains. GLN and THE changed dihedral angle torsion of glycoside bonds, and mainly interacted with starch by electrostatic interaction (50.06 kJ/mol) and van der Waals force (50.30 kJ/mol), respectively.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) brushes grafted from attapulgite nanoparticles (ATP@PMMA) were prepared by R-Supported reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). ATP was firstly activated, and allowed to react with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) (ACVA) and bis(thiobenzoyl) disulfide stepwise to afford 4-cyanopentanoic acid dithiobenzoate functionalized ATP (ATP-CPADB). Then, RAFT polymerizations of MMA mediated by the different systems were conducted and compared systemically. The grafting process was verified by FTIR, XRD, XPS, TGA and TEM data. Kinetic behavior indicated that the anchored CPADB is more effective before diffusing into the bulk phase. The grafting ratio ( G
r ), while M
n of grafted and free polymer increased linearly with increasing monomer conversion in presence of free CPADB, giving the hybrid particles with more homogeneous distribution of grafted polymer layer.

( R )- or ( S )-2-Hydroxy-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid (HMTBA) is used as a poultry nutritional supplement and to treat renal failure disease. Herein, we report an artificially designed biocatalytic cascade process, which uses l -methionine to synthesize ( R )- or ( S )-HMTBA. This biocatalysis cascade comprises a basic module and two different extender modules and operates in a modular assembly manner. The basic module responsible for the transformation of l -methionine to α-keto-γ-methylthiobutyric acid (KMTB) is comprised of the l -amino acid deaminase. Two different extender modules responsible for the transformation of KMTB to ( R )- or ( S )-HMTBA are comprised of the R/S-specific lactate dehydrogenase in combination with the formate dehydrogenase, respectively. Engineered Escherichia coli catalysts, one containing the basic module, the other containing the one of two different extender modules, produced 97.6 g L −1 ( R )-HMTBA and 96.4 g L −1 ( S )-HMTBA with a yield of 96.9% and 95.8% at the large scale (1 L) using a two-stage strategy in one pot, respectively. Therefore, this biocatalytic process lays the foundation for the industrial-scale conversion of low-cost l -amino acids to corresponding high-value enantiopure chiral 2-hydroxy acids.

Background Ginseng possesses antitumor effects, and ginsenosides are considered to be one of its main active chemical components. Ginsenosides can further be hydrolyzed to generate secondary saponins, and 20( R )-panaxotriol is an important sapogenin of ginsenosides. We aimed to synthesize a new ginsengenin derivative from 20( R )-panaxotriol and investigate its antitumor activity in vivo and in vitro . Methods Here, 20( R )-panaxotriol was selected as a precursor and was modified into its derivatives. The new products were characterized by 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR and HR-MS and evaluated by molecular docking, MTT, luciferase reporter assay, western blotting, immunofluorescent staining, colony formation assay, EdU labeling and immunofluorescence, apoptosis assay, cells migration assay, transwell assay and in vivo antitumor activity assay. Results The derivative with the best antitumor activity was identified as 6,12-dihydroxy-4,4,8,10,14-pentamethyl-17-(2,6,6-trimethyltetrahydro-2 H -pyran-2-yl)hexadecahydro-1 H -cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-yl( tert -butoxycarbonyl)glycinate ( A11 ). The focus of this research was on the antitumor activity of the derivatives. The efficacy of the derivative A11 (IC 50 < 0.3 μM) was more than 100 times higher than that of 20( R )- panaxotriol (IC 50 > 30 μM). In addition, A11 inhibited the protein expression and nuclear accumulation of the hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1α in HeLa cells under hypoxic conditions in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, A11 dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HeLa cells, while promoting their apoptosis. Notably, the inhibition by A11 was more significant than that by 20( R )-panaxotriol ( p < 0.01) in vivo . Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the production of derivative A11 from 20( R )-panaxotriol and its superior antitumor activity compared to its precursor. Moreover, derivative A11 can be used to further study and develop novel antitumor drugs.
