In this research, KLA-modified liposomes co-loaded with 5-fluorouracil and paclitaxel (KLA-5-FU/PTX Lps) were developed, and their antitumor activity against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) was evaluated. KLA-5-FU/PTX Lps were prepared using the thin-film dispersion method, and their in vitro anticancer efficacy was assessed in human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231). An MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing mouse model was also established to evaluate their antitumor efficacy in vivo. KLA-5-FU/PTX Lps showed enhanced cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 cells, improved drug delivery to mitochondria, and induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. The modified liposomes also showed favorable antitumor activity in vivo due to their strong ability to target tumors and mitochondria. The liposomes showed no obvious systemic toxicity. Our results suggest that KLA-5-FU/PTX Lps are a promising system with which to target the delivery of antitumor drugs to mitochondria as a treatment for TNBC.Keywords:5-fluorouracil;paclitaxel;liposomes;mitochondrial targeting;TNBC

Efficient decontamination of heavy metals from water remains an urgent and still challenging issue. Herein, a novel adsorbent HMO@N001 was prepared by the in-situ encapsulation of hydrated manganese(IV) oxides (HMO) NPs inside the gel-type cation exchanger N001. Owing to the < 5 nm swollen pores of the N001 host, the in-situ growth of HMO NPs was restricted to sub-5 nm level (with the average size of 4.65 ± 1.17 nm). As a comparison, HMO NPs inside the commercially available macroporous analogue HMO@D001 possessed the average size of 24.52 ± 5.07 nm. The sub-5 nm nature granted HMO@N001 higher proportion (56.7%) of the reactive terminal oxygen (Mn-OH) compared with HMO@D001 (42.7%), contributing to that the maximum adsorption capacities ( Q m ) of HMO@N001 (146.6 ± 2.8 mg/g) toward Ni(II) reached to ∼1.36 times the value of HMO@D001 (107.9 ± 7.6 mg/g). Common coexisting cations including Na + , Mg 2+ , and Ca 2+ mainly suppressed the electrostatic adsorption from the N001 host, while the inner-sphere complexation between Ni(II) and HMO NPs was little affected, as verified by the SEM-EDS analysis. The used HMO@N001 was effectively regenerated using 0.05 M dimethylglyoxime solution for cyclic utilization. In fixed-bed experiments, the effective treatment capacity of the HMO@N001 column reached up to ∼4200 bed volume (BV), over 1.35 times that of the HMO@D001 column (∼3100 BV). This study may provide a promising option for advanced heavy metals decontamination.

The synergistic effect of leucovorin calcium (LVCa) on 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been widely confirmed, but as far as we know, there is no effective way to simultaneously deliver LVCa and 5-FU to tumor sites. In this paper we innovatively established a dual-pH sensitive drug release system based on ZIF-8 frameworks decorated with hyaluronic acid-LVCa bioconjugates linked with an acid-cleavable hydrazone bond to achieve the combinatorial delivery and on-demand drug release of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin calcium (LVCa) at the acidic pH conditions of the tumor sites. The as-obtained HA-LVCa/5-FU@ZIF-8 nanoplatforms load 0.35 g of 5-FU and 0.048 g of LVCa per gram and exhibited high inhibiting colon cells growth performance in vitro.

This work aims to achieve high para-selectivity while maintaining catalytic stability for the alkylation of toluene with methanol to para-xylene over ZSM-5 catalysts under demanding reaction conditions. A high para-selectivity of greater than 97% is achieved by applying consecutive SiO2–P2O5–MgO (SPM) and SiO2 surface coatings on the surface of pristine ZSM-5. This surface modification passivates the external acid sites and at the same time narrows the pore openings of the ZSM-5 particles, which are both beneficial for the high para-selectivity. The catalytic stability of the surface modified catalysts is achieved by loading with metals including Pt, Ni and (Pt + Ni). This study shows that catalysts co-loaded with (Pt + Ni) exhibit superior catalytic stability, not only in pure H2 but also in a carrier gas containing a very low H2 fraction of 5% H2 and 95% Ar. This is because the co-existence of Pt and Ni effectively inhibits the formation of low-carbon olefins (the coke precursors) via the dehydrogenation of methanol to carbon oxides and the hydrogenation of olefins to paraffins. By studying the different locations of metal loading on the catalysts, this work also confirms that the most effective location of metal loading is on the external surface of the modified catalysts.

Two dinuclear complexes [Cu 2 (LO) 2 ] and [Ni 2 L 2 Cl 2 (C 2 H 5 OH) 2 ] derived from (5-chlorosalicylaldehyde)-4-aminoantipyrine (HL) were synthesized and characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy，thermogravimetric analysis, and powder X-ray diffraction. Molecular structures of the Cu (II) and Ni (II) complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their cytotoxicity was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay against human tumor cells, such as lung carcinoma A549, lung adenocarcinoma H1975, breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cell lines. The results showed that the Cu (II) complex had much better anticancer activity than the Ni (II) complex, especially for MDA-MB-231 and CNE-2Z cells. The reason may be that they have different structures. The methyl group on the (5-chlorosalicylaldehyde)-4-aminoantipyrine (HL) was oxidized to the hydroxymethyl group, herein, namely LO, which is difficult to achieve in the normal chemical synthesis process. However, we did it by a solvothermal method at low temperature. It provides a new way of thinking and synthesis. The anticancer activity of the copper complex was next only to cisplatin, and the copper complex was nontoxic for the human normal cell lines. The experiment results also showed that the copper complex could inhibit tumor cell proliferation through the cell cycle and cell apoptosis.

2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) is a multifunctional intermediate, which can be used in drugs, functional polymers, fluorescent materials and surfactants. In this paper, a TEMPO-assisted magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -NH 2 -Cu(II) catalytic system was developed for the selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran. The structure of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -NH 2 -Cu(II) was double-layer shell-core spherical structure with uniform ordered mesoporous on the surface, amino groups and Cu were evenly distributed in the outer mesoporous. The catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, TEM, EDS, SEM, XRD, BET and VSM. The effects of reaction conditions were investigated in detail. The conversion of HMF was 98.9% and the highest DFF yield was 92.4% under atmospheric oxygen in toluene solvent. The catalytic activity did not decrease significantly after 5 cycles. The catalytic system had good substrate adaptability for benzyl alcohols and aromatic alcohols with satisfactory yield of corresponding aldehydes (91.3–100%). A possible reaction mechanism was also proposed and found that bis(μ-hydroxy) double copper (II) may be the active reactant in oxidation reaction. The system provides a promising industrialized preparation method for DFF.

A facile and highly efficient method for converting seaweed-derived agarose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in aqueous media using combined metal salts as catalysts is proposed. A series of combined metal salts were investigated under different conditions. The combination of ZrCl 4 and KHSO 4 was the most efficient catalyst; it was capable of achieving a high HMF yield of 71.4% under optimized conditions. The charge density or counter anion possibly affected the ionization degree of the metal cations in the aqueous solution, thereby influencing the HMF yield. ZrCl 4 promoted the cleavage of the C–O–C bond in agarose and galactose to ketose isomerization , which is the key step for HMF formation. KHSO 4 increased the conversion rate of ketose to HMF. This work offers a convenient method for converting seaweed-derived agarose to HMF and improve the utilization of marine biomass.

Aims Abundant recent evidence has shown that 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) is activated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it remains unknown whether inhibition of PDK1 in neurons may affect AD-like pathology in animal models of AD. Here, we aim to examine the effects of specific inactivation of neuronal PDK1 on pathology and behaviour in 5×FAD mice and to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods The Cre-loxP system was employed to generate Pdk1 cKO/5×FAD mice, in which PDK1 is inactivated in excitatory neurons in the adult forebrain. Cellular and behavioural techniques were used to examine plaque burden, inflammatory responses and spatial working memory in mice. Biochemical and molecular analyses were conducted to investigate relevant mechanisms. Results First, Aβ deposition was massively decreased and gliosis was highly attenuated in Pdk1 cKO/5×FAD mice compared with 5×FAD mice. Second, memory deficits were significantly improved in Pdk1 cKO/5×FAD mice. Third, APP levels were notably decreased in Pdk1 cKO/5×FAD mice. Fourth, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling and ribosome biogenesis were reduced in Pdk1 cKO/5×FAD mice. Conclusions Neuron-specific deletion of PDK1 robustly ameliorates AD-like pathology and improves spatial working memory in 5×FAD mice. We propose that genetic approach to inhibit PDK1 may be an effective strategy to slow AD.

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is a crucial biomss-derived fuel precursor with versatile conversion pathways to advanced fuels. However, direct production of 5-HMF from crystalline cellulose is critical challenging due to the inefficient deconstruction of recalcitrant cellulose structure. Molten salt hydrates (MSHs) are unique in cellulose deconstruction and dissolution. In this work, a biphasic system of LiBr hydrate/acetone was established. It was found that 93.4% yield of 5-HMF can be efficiently converted from fructose without any catalysts. With the addition of AlCl 3 to adjust Lewis acidity, an enhanced 5-HMF yield of 75.1% together with 13.7% of glucose were directly produced from cellulose, showing a promising carbon balance of 88.8%. A proposed mechanism for cellulose conversion was studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, demonstrating that the isomerization of glucose to fructose rather than crystalline cellulose hydrolysis was the rate-determining step. After reaction, the formed 5-HMF can be efficiently recycled from solvent via hyper-cross-linked polymer adsorption and the reaction system can be recycled for more than 5 times without reducing 5-HMF selectivity.

Ferroptosis is a non-traditional form of regulated cell death, characterized by iron overload and lipid peroxidation. Exploration of ferroptosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been extremely limited to date. In this study, we established a rat model of CKD by 5/6 nephrectomy, treated CKD rats with the ferroptosis inducer, cisplatin (CDDP), and the ferroptosis inhibitor, deferoxamine mesylate (DFO), and observed the resulting pathologic changes (injury markers and fibrosis) and ferroptotic biochemical indices. Kidney iron deposition, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial defects, ferroptosis marker induction, and TUNEL staining positivity were detected in CKD group rats. Further, treatment with CDDP or DFO influenced renal injury and fibrosis by affecting ferroptosis, rather than apoptosis, and ferroptosis occurs in the remnant kidney due to disordered iron metabolism. In conclusion, our study shows for the first time that 5/6 nephrectomy induces ferroptosis in the remnant kidney and clarifies the underlying pathogenesis. Moreover, we demonstrate that ferroptosis is involved in CKD progression and represents a therapeutic target in chronic kidney injury and renal fibrosis.

The development of an effective strategy for synthesizing two-dimensional MFI zeolites has attracted more and more attention. Herein, nanosheet-stacked hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite was obtained by a seed-assisted hydrothermal synthesis route using a small amount of [C18H37-N+(CH3)2-C6H12-N+(CH3)2-C6H12]Br2(C18-6-6Br2) as a zeolite structure-directing agent and triethylamine (TEA) as a zeolite growth modifier. By varying the molar ratio of C18-6-6Br2/TEA from 2.5/0 to 2.5/40, the morphologies and textural properties of the resultant HZ5-2.5/x catalysts were finely modulated. By increasing x from 5 to 40, the morphology of the HZ5-2.5/x changed from unilamellar assembly with narrowa–cplane to intertwined nanosheets with widea–cplane and multilamellar nanosheets with house-of-cards morphology. The thickness of these nanosheets was almost 8–10 nm. In addition, selectivity to light olefins reached 70.7% for the HZ5-2.5/10 catalyst, which was 6.6% higher than that for CZSM-5 (64.1%). Furthermore, the MFI zeolite nanosheets exhibited better anticoking stability within the 60 h reaction time compared to conventional ZSM-5 zeolite, which could be attributed to the short diffusion path and hierarchical porosity. This work will provide valuable insights into the rational design of novel zeolite catalysts for the efficient cracking of hydrocarbons.Keywords:ZSM-5;nanosheets;zeolite growth modifiers;catalytic cracking of n-octane;light olefins
