Overexpression of EphB3 has been documented across various cancers and essential for cell proliferation, survive and metastasis, making it a valuable therapeutic target. In this study, a series of novel penta-1,4-dien-3-one and quinoxaline conjugates were designed and synthesized using pharmacophore fusion strategies to explore potential EphB3 inhibitors. CCK-8 experiments revealed significant anti-cancer activity of most newly synthesized compounds against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Among them, compound W8 displaying the highest inhibitory activity against MHCC97H (IC 50 = 1.87 μM), which arrests MHCC97H cells in the G0/G1 phase and induces apoptosis. Furthermore, compound W8 suppresses tumor growth in an MHCC97H xenograft model in vivo by suppressing phosphorylation level of EphB3 and down-regulating the SRC-AKT signaling pathway, leading to a dose-dependent reduction in tumor volumes and weights, with a 40 mg/kg dose achieving decreases of 68.4 % and 65.3 %, respectively. Given its ability to modulate EphB3 signaling, W8 represents a promising lead compound for further drug development, particularly for cancers characterized by EphB3 overexpression, and may offer new opportunities for targeted therapy in precision oncology.

Xylene is not only a carcinogenic gas, but also one of indoor pollution gases. Therefore, it is indispensable to develop a xylene gas sensor with fast response and high sensitivity. In this paper, 5 wt%rGO-Fe 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 -1 wt%Pt gas sensitive material was prepared by integrating the excellent properties of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and noble metal Pt. In addition, the microstructure, elemental composition, phase and crystal structure of 5 wt%rGO-Fe 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 -1 wt%Pt nanocomposites were characterized. The nanostructure of Pt-modified Fe 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 nano-hollow spheres compounded on rGO was successfully prepared. The gas sensitive experiment results showed that 5 wt%rGO-Fe 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 -1 wt%Pt had better gas sensitive performance than Fe 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 (FMO), FMO-1 wt%Pt and 5 wt%rGO-FMO. At the optimum working temperature (175℃), the 5 wt%rGO-FMO-1 wt%Pt sensor had a maximum response value to xylene, and could detect 500 ppb xylene. In addition, the 5 wt%rGO-FMO-1 wt%Pt nanocomposite showed a rapid response and recovery process to xylene. Moreover, the gas sensitivity mechanism and enhancement of gas sensitivity of 5 wt%rGO-FMO-1 wt%Pt to xylene were systematically analyzed. The 5 wt%rGO-FMO-1 wt%Pt gas sensor prepared provided a new reference for the detection of xylene.

The aim of this work was to develop a fluorescence method based on the polydopamine-polyethyleneimine (PDA-PEI) copolymerization, which was subsequently applied for the determination of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) in food contact papers (FCMs). PEI could provide an alkaline environment and then react with dopamine (DA) to produce copolymers by Michael addition and Schiff-base reactions. This copolymer has a strong fluorescence emission at 527 nm. We found that amino groups of DA and PEI could also react with 3-MCPD in an alkaline medium, which improved the morphology and fluorescence intensity of PDA-PEI copolymers. The fluorescence intensity of the polymers was linear but inversely proportional to the concentration of 3-MCPD in the range of 10.0–500.0 μg kg −1 and the detection limit was 2 μg kg −1 . The standard addition method was used in FCMs to demonstrate the practical applicability and the spiked recoveries ranged from 99.8 to 110.3 %. Finally, the levels of 3-MCPD in different FCMs (n = 70) were determined by the proposed method. The detection frequencies ranged from 25 % to 100 % and both the highest detection frequency and levels were observed in kitchen papers. More than half of the samples did not comply with the limits recommended by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, suggesting that 3-MCPD released from FCMs is a major route of human exposure.

Sulphamethoxazole (SMX) is extensively used in humans and livestock, but its appearance in natural water raises environmental concerns. This study demonstrated that SMX and its degradation product , 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole (3A5MI), could be effectively degraded in microbial fuel cell (MFC) reactors. Approximately 85% of 20 ppm SMX was degraded within 12 h, and this was a more rapid biodegradation rate than has been previously shown in the literature. In addition, 3A5MI, a toxic chemical that forms in the SMX degradation process, can be further mineralized. The degradation products of SMX were detected by mass spectrometry, and three speculated by-products were confirmed with chemical standards. It was observed that nitrogen atoms of SMX were progressively eliminated during the degradation process, which may relate with the degradation of SMX and 3A5MI. An antibacterial activity test showed that the biotoxicity of SMX towards Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and Escherichia coli DH5α was greatly reduced after MFC treatment. Moreover, the ATP level of the MFC microbe was nearly threefold higher than that in open-circuit controls, which may be related to the rapid degradation of SMX in MFCs. This study can facilitate further investigations about the biodegradation of SMX.

This study investigates the enhancement of ozonation efficiency through the introduction of manganese ions (O 3 /Mn(II)) that significantly improve the degradation of ozone-persistent organic pollutants. Manganese ions accelerate hydroxyl radical generation by catalyzing ozone decomposition, thereby facilitating more effective oxidative reactions. The application of O 3 /Mn(II) to degrade N, N-Diethyl-3-toluamide (DEET) achieved a decomposition efficiency of 3.6 to 4.1 times higher than ozonation alone. The promotive effect was highly pH-dependent, with the observed rate constant ( k obs ) for O 3 /Mn(II) reaching 97.05 M −1 s −1 at pH 4, approximately 3.3 times greater than ozonation alone, and 686.93 M −1 s −1 at pH 7, around 1.7 times higher. O 3 oxidation contributed approximately 1% to the overall process, while hydroxyl radicals accounted for approximately 80%, and manganese species accounted for approximately 20%. Furthermore, the oxidation state of manganese significantly influenced the cooperative oxidation efficiency, with Mn(VII) achieving the highest k obs (680.87 M −1 s −1 ), while Mn(IV) exhibited the lowest (304.6 M −1 s −1 ). Additionally, intermediate products formed during DEET oxidation were identified using Orbitrap technology, elucidating various degradation pathways (such as decarboxylation, tri-hydration, and aromatic ring opening). These findings provide valuable insights into enhancing ozonation processes for environmental remediation.

Natural borneol has enormous medicinal value (like clearing heat, detoxifying, relieving pain, and other effects) but has a low yield and high price. Compared with the natural extraction method to obtain borneol, a synthetic method has significant advantages such as high yield, environmental protection, and high economic benefits. In the synthesis method, the catalyst is the most key factor. In this study, two catalysts (SO 4 2- /ZrO 2 -TiO 2 and Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 /ZrO 2 -TiO 2 ) with high catalytic performance and high positive selectivity were synthesized by impregnation method to synthesize borneol from α-pinene. The optimum synthesis conditions of SO 4 2- /ZrO 2 -TiO 2 were as follows: n(Zr): n(Ti) = 3: 1, sulfuric acid concentration 2 mol/L, calcination temperature 550 °C, the yield of borneol was 68.14 %. Based on the preparation of catalyst SO 4 2- /ZrO 2 -TiO 2 , the optimum synthesis conditions of Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 /ZrO 2 -TiO 2 were as follows: the concentration of aluminum sulfate was 0.4 mol/L, the calcination temperature was 600 °C, and the yield of borneol was 74.58%, Compared with the highest yield of 59.89% reported in the existing literature, the performance is improved by 13.96%. In addition, the mechanism of the esterification and saponification reaction of borneol has been in the blank stage. We used the density functional theory (DFT) to explore the reaction mechanism.

Underwater photovoltaics plays a pivotal role in photovoltaic applications. However, the underwater solar spectrum differs significantly from that in air, and as water depth increases, solar spectra across various wavebands exhibit distinct attenuation rates. Specifically, the attenuation rate of the red component of sunlight is considerably higher than that of green and blue light (400–600 nm). Thus, under these unique spectral conditions, there is an urgent need to develop stable devices that minimize power conversion efficiency (PCE) loss with increasing water depth. The 4-terminal (4T) structure tandem cell, designed with 2.35 eV CsPbBr3 and 1.63 eV Cs0.05(FA0.83MA0.17)0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3, is prioritized due to its suitable optical response range and low PCE loss with increasing water depth. As CsPbBr3 utilized blue and green light in tandem, which has the highest light intensity underneath water, this study employed doping of SrBr2 into the CsPbBr3 film. This approach reduced the defect density of the film, enhanced carrier transport efficiency, and improved the photoelectric responsivity of the device in the 425–500 nm band. The CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cells that were fabricated demonstrated a high open-circuit voltage of 1.46 V and an exceptional PCE of 7.62%. Additionally, these devices exhibited excellent stability. Consequently, the 4T tandem device achieved PCEs of 15.28, 11.79, and 10.33% at 0, 0.5, and 0.7 m underwater depths respectively, with a variation rate of only 32%. Furthermore, the device demonstrated remarkable stability under working conditions, with an efficiency decay of less than 13% after continuous irradiation for 30 days. These findings suggest that the 4T tandem solar cell holds considerable potential for application in underwater photovoltaics.

Aqueous rechargeable batteries (ARBs) based on migration of two types of shuttle ions not only enrich the battery families but also make it more available for ARBs with operation potential higher than 1.2 V. In this paper, we report on electrochemical properties of ARBs in configuration of NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C||LiMn 2 O 4 , i.e. NTP/C||LMO. NTP/C was prepared through a simple and scalable co-precipitation post annealing treatment method and featured with hierarchical structure, high specific surface area, and abundant mesopores. The electrochemical properties of individual anode and cathode were examined in 1 mol L −1 Li 2 SO 4 , 1 mol L −1 Na 2 SO 4 , and 0.5 mol L −1 Li 2 SO 4 /0.5 mol L −1 Na 2 SO 4 mixed electrolyte, respectively. It is found that NTP/C exhibits superior operation in 1 mol L −1 Na 2 SO 4 and inferior operation in 1 mol L −1 Li 2 SO 4 while the situation is contrary for LMO. However, NTP/C||LMO full cells with Li + /Na + -mixed electrolyte exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance, presenting an anode-dependant electrochemical behavior. When operating at 1C, NTP/C||LMO with Li + /Na + -mixed electrolyte can deliver a discharge specific capacity ( C dis ) of 104.6 mA h g −1 based on the weight of NTP/C, and a specific energy ( E cell ) of 59.5 W h kg −1 with corresponding specific power of 76.8 W kg −1 based on the total weight of active electrode materials. After 220 cycles at 1C, the C dis and E cell remain 75.7 mA h g −1 and 43.0 W h kg −1 , respectively.

A selective and sensitive electrochemical sensor was developed for simultaneous detection of phytohormones indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and salicylic acid (SA). The sensing interface was fabricated on a porous, three-dimensional networked graphene hydrogel (GH) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The electrocatalytic behavior of IAA and SA on the surface of the modified electrode (GH/GCE) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry. Results show that the oxidation reactions of IAA and SA occur at different potentials, which enable their simultaneous detection at the sensing interface. Under optimal conditions, the GH/GCE exhibited good selectivity and stability and its response, unaffected by various interferents, was linear in the range of 4 to 200 μM of IAA and SA. The limit of detection (S/N= 3) achieved were 1.42 μM for IAA and 2.80 μM for SA. The sensor performance was validated by measuring for IAA and SA in real vegetable samples with satisfactory results.Keywords:electrochemical sensor;simultaneous detection;indole-3-acetic acid;salicylic acid;graphene hydrogel

3-O-β-D-galactosylated resveratrol (Gal-Res) was synthesized from resveratrol (Res) and 3-O-β-D-galactose (Gal) in our previous study. In order to improve the pH sensitivity and bioavailability of Gal-Res, Gal-Res nanoparticles (Gal-Res NPs) were prepared using polydopamine (PDA) as a drug carrier. The drug loading (DL %) and entrapment efficiency (EE %) of Gal-Res NPs were 46.80% and 88.06%. The average particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), and Zeta potential of Gal-Res NPs were 179.38 ± 2.83 nm, 0.129 ± 0.013, and − 28.05 ± 0.36 mV, respectively. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) showed that Gal-Res NPs had uniform spherical morphology. Compared with the fast release of raw Gal-Res, the in vitro release of Gal-Res NPs was slow and pH-sensitive. The results of the blood vessel irritation and hemolysis test demonstrated that Gal-Res NPs had good hemocompatibility. The pharmacokinetics study in rats showed that area under the curve of plasma drug concentration time (AUC 0→600 ) and half-life (t 1/2 ) of Gal-Res NPs were enhanced 1.82-fold and 2.19-fold higher than those of raw Gal-Res. The in vivo biodistribution results showed that Gal-Res NPs were more distributed in liver tissue than Gal-Res. Gal-Res NPs with high bioavailability and liver accumulation were hopeful drug delivery systems (DDS) to treat liver diseases. Graphical abstract

In this work, the aqueous solutions of 1-hydroxyethyl-3-methylimidazolium lysine ([C2OHmim][Lys]) and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) were developed to obtain an efficient absorbent for CO2 capture. The absorption performance, regeneration performance, reaction mechanism, and kinetic study of the blends were investigated. It was found that, for the blended absorbents, a molar ratio of 8:2 of MDEA/[C2OHmim][Lys] was the optimum ratio based on the absorption rate, absorption capacity, and other factors. The CO2 absorption capacity of the blends is 0.75 mol of CO2/mol of ionic liquid, and the absorption rate was higher than that of the aqueous MDEA solution. The regeneration efficiency of the blends was 93% after the third absorption generation cycle, which was higher than the aqueous solutions of 1 mol/L MDEA (88%) or 1 mol/L [C2OHmim][Lys] (88%) under the same conditions, indicating a better regeneration performance of the blends. The reaction mechanism and kinetic study of the CO2 absorption into the blends were investigated by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance and a double stirred-cell absorber, respectively. [C2OHmim][Lys] in aqueous solution first formed carbamate with CO2, and the next step was hydrolysis of MDEA and partial carbamate, with the production of bicarbonate. It also found that the influence of the temperature in the CO2 absorption was different in the two steps. Also, [C2OHmim][Lys] could promote the hydration reaction of MDEA and CO2 according to the chemical mechanism and kinetic study. The kinetic region was considered to be a fast pseudo-first-order reaction, and the activation energy of the blends was 40.0 kJ mol–1.
