Biodiesel, known for its low carbon emissions and renewability, offers a promising alternative to fossil diesel. Support loading and additive modification are effective strategies for synthesizing high-performance heterogeneous catalysts. This study modified ZSM-5 zeolite with the addition of divalent barium ions and tetravalent cerium ions to develop the novel acid-base dual-activity Ba-Ce/ZSM-5 catalyst for biodiesel production from the acidified palm oil through transesterification. Characterization results show that the synergistic loading of the divalent barium ions and the tetravalent cerium ions generates snowflake-like particles on the multi-porous ZSM-5 surface and increases the density of catalytic active sites. Compared to the pure ZSM-5, the Ba40-Ce15/ZSM-5 catalyst exhibits nearly a five-fold increase in average pore size and forms the hierarchical pore structure. This modification reduces the diffusion resistance of triglycerides during transesterification. The catalyst retains excellent activity even in the presence of 5.00 wt% free fatty acids and moisture. With optimization by Response Surface Methodology with Box-Behnken Design (RSM-BBD), the maximum biodiesel yield of 97.48 % is achieved at the alcohol-to-oil molar ratio of 14.95 : 1, reaction temperature of 149.6 °C, catalyst amount of 6.73 wt%, and reaction duration of 2 h. Compared to previously reported catalysts, the Ba40-Ce15/ZSM-5 catalyst exhibits superior performance in increasing biodiesel yield while offering greater cost-effectiveness.

The 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxygen reaction (HMFOR) is an appealing alternative to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for cost-effective hydrogen production, while 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) represents one of the most promising value-added chemicals. Nevertheless, it still suffered from limited HMF adsorption and sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, we integrated the low-temperature microwave method and plasma bombardment strategy, and developed an advanced P/Mn–Ni(OH)2 nanosheet array on the surface of carbon cloth. The heterogeneous Mn dopant improves the growth and structural stability of Ni(OH)2 nanosheet arrays, while the plasma treatment optimizes the atomic sequence and induces abundant oxygen vacancies. Further theoretical calculation and in situ Raman, Bode diagram tests manifest that these oxygen vacancies together with the Mn dopant, coherently downshift the d-band center of P/Mn–Ni(OH)2 (from −3.71/–0.31 eV (spin-up/spin-down) to −5.23/–1.78 eV, respectively), balance the adsorption of HMF and OH–, and enhance the redox kinetics of HMFOR. Benefiting from these favorable factors, the P/Mn–Ni(OH)2 achieves remarkable HMFOR electrocatalytic activity, with an impressive HMF conversion rate of 99.8%, FDCA selectivity of 97.4%, and Faraday efficiency of 96.1% at an applied potential of 1.42 V (vs RHE). Meanwhile, the P/Mn–Ni(OH)2 also demonstrates robust stability with only slight decay after five cycles of testing. When further coupled with HER, the assembled HER||HMFOR electrolyzer requires only 1.35, 1.46, and 1.57 V to deliver 10, 50, and 100 mA cm–2, respectively, outperforming the traditional HER||OER device (requesting 1.55, 1.65, and 1.70 V, respectively), confirming the brilliant electrocatalytic ability of the P/Mn–Ni(OH)2. Such plasma bombardment and heterogeneous atom implantation comodulated electrocatalytic strategy may provide new insight into the construction of advanced catalysts for diverse energy-related applications.

The internal tandem duplication mutation of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3-ITD) is associated with high recurrence and mortality rates in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), making it a critical target for anti-AML therapies. Plinabulin is a diketopiperazines derivative that exhibits extensive anti-cancer potency by targeting β-tubulin. We designed and synthesized a novel FLT3 inhibitor, namely5-3, based on the structure of plinabulin and evaluated its effect on FLT3-ITD mutant AML cells. The results indicated that5-3potently and selectively inhibits the growth of mutant FLT3-expressingleukemia cells, and had no effect on FLT3 wide-type cancer cells, suggesting the antiproliferative activity of5-3depends highly on FLT3-ITD expression. Mechanically,5-3significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of FLT3 signaling pathway, including STAT5, Erk and Akt. Moreover, the efficiency of compound5-3is not associated with Plinabulin’s typical target, β-tubulin. In conclusion, the study identified diketopiperazine derivative as a novel FLT3-ITD selective inhibitor. These results demonstrated that5-3might be a drug candidate for the treatment of FLT3-ITD-positive AML.

The urgent need to address global energy shortages and environmental pollution has accelerated the development of renewable algal bio-oils. Spirulina stands out as an ideal feedstock for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) owing to its high carbon sequestration rate, non-competition with arable land, and rich protein-lipid content. However, Spirulina-derived bio-oil typically suffers from high oxygen content and low heating value. To overcome these limitations, this study developed a microwave-assisted two-stage HTL process integrated with a Ni-loaded, alkali-modified HZSM-5 catalyst. Unlike conventional catalysts that often rely on costly noble metals or suffer from diffusion limitations in microporous structures, this system employs earth-abundant nickel on a hierarchically structured zeolite to enhance both cost-effectiveness and catalytic efficiency. HZSM-5 was treated with NaOH to create mesoporosity, followed by Ni impregnation to introduce hydrogenation functionality. The effects of NaOH concentration and Ni loading on catalyst properties were systematically investigated. Process optimization was performed via response surface methodology using a 3 % sulfuric acid medium, and bio-oil composition was analyzed by GC/MS. Modification with 1 mol/L NaOH increased hydrocarbon content to 32.9 %, while subsequent loading with 5 wt% Ni synergistically boosted the yield to 48.1 %. Molecular dynamics simulations provided mechanistic insights into bond cleavage and conversion pathways of Spirulina-derived model compounds in subcritical water. Compared with existing catalytic systems, this study significantly improves the quality of biofuels, providing an efficient catalytic strategy and fundamental insights for the production of high-quality bio-oil from spirulina.

A high-purine diet is an important factor in the development of hyperuricemia (HUA), in which the intestinal tract is the main site of dietary purine absorption. Inhibition of intestinal concentrative nucleoside transporter 2 (CNT2) can inhibit dietary purine-induced elevation of serum uric acid (sUA) levels. However, there is a lack of research on CNT2 inhibitors for the treatment of HUA. By using high throughput virtual screening from an in-house natural product database, the natural active component 5-methylvisammioside (MeV) in Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk was predicted to be an effective CNT2 inhibitor with the highest docking score. In vitro , MeV showed the strongest inhibitory activity against CNT2, with IC 50 value of 11.22 ± 2.18 μM. Moreover, MeV showed little or almost no inhibitory effect on other nucleoside transporters CNT3 and equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs), as well as on uric acid (UA) transporter-related targets. In vivo , MeV significantly reduced sUA, inhibited adenosine uptake, and had an ameliorative effect on pathological changes in the liver, kidney, and intestinal tract. Moreover, MeV improved serum and intestinal indices related to inflammation and oxidative stress in mice, reduced intestinal permeability. Through our further study, we found that MeV inhibited the activation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and NF-κB P65, reduced the production of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, and improved intestinal injury in a high UA environment. The study suggests that MeV is a potent CNT2 inhibitor for the treatment of HUA and also protects intestinal function by inhibiting the ROS/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway.

Biomass valorization plays a vital role in ecological conservation and the advancement of a circular economy, while posing significant scientific challenges. This work successfully constructed a novel tandem catalytic system (ZnZrOx-ZSM-5) for the efficient production of sustainable monocyclic aromatics (SMAs) via the ex-situ catalytic pyrolysis of cotton stalk. Compared to the sole ZSM-5, the tandem catalyst significantly enhanced the absolute yield of SMAs from 8.2 % to 26.8 %. Combined various structural characterization and carefully catalytic experiments, it was revealed that pyrolysis volatiles derived from cotton stalk first encounter the ZnZrOx bed-rich in oxygen vacancies and basic sites, where compounds such as AAAKs (alcohols, aldehydes, acetic acid, and ketone) and bulky alkoxy-phenols are preferentially pre-cracked into alkanes/alkenes and light phenols, respectively. Subsequently, within the ZSM-5 bed, these pre-cracked intermediates enhance the formation of SMAs by a series of reactions-including Diels-Alder condensation, dehydroxylation, and aromatization with hydrocarbon pool species. Simultaneously, GC‑MS analysis confirmed that the introduction of ZnZrOx effectively suppresses the formation of bulky polycyclic molecules (e.g., naphthalene, phenanthrene), thereby alleviating catalyst pore blockage and deactivation.

Hydrodeoxygenation of lignin-derived phenols into high-value cycloalkanes under mild conditions is challenging. Herein, we report a Ru NPs @HZSM-5 catalyst with a unique metal-support interactions that achieves 100 % guaiacol conversion and 99.7 % cyclohexane selectivity at 160 °C and 1 MPa H 2 . Comparative studies with single-atom and aggregated Ru catalysts reveal that well-dispersed Ru nanoparticles coupled with acid sites offer superior activity and selectivity. Kinetic analysis and in situ DRIFTS demonstrate a sequential mechanism involving rapid hydrogenation of the aromatic ring followed by rate-limiting deoxygenation steps. Characterizations and CO-DRIFTS confirm particle sizes, optimal metal-support interactions, and enhanced acidity in Ru NPs @HZSM-5. Theoretical calculations further reveal favorable electronic states and lower energy barriers for deoxygenation on Ru NPs @HZSM-5. The catalyst also shows broad substrate compatibility, efficiently converting various lignin-derived phenolics. This work provides valuable insights into the critical synergy between metal nanoparticles and acidic supports for efficient lignin upgrading.

The 5-hydroxymethylfurfural electrooxidation reaction (HMFOR) stands out due to the value-added production and mild conditions. However, its catalytic efficiency is hampered by sluggish kinetics. Herein, with a focus on optimizing the adsorption and activation of reaction molecules, a Co 5.47 N-W 5 N 4 heterostructure catalyst is constructed for efficient HMFOR. The heterogeneous interface formed between Co 5.47 N and W 5 N 4 synergistically enhances the adsorption and activation of substrate molecules through electronic structure modulation and dual-site hydrogen bonding interactions. Meanwhile, the interfacial electron transfer from Co 5.47 N to W 5 N 4 facilitates the formation of high-valent cobalt species (Co 3+ /Co 4+ ), which is critical for activating formyl and hydroxymethyl groups. Furthermore, the hierarchical nanoparticle-nanosheet architecture provides abundant active sites while promoting efficient mass transport. These combined effects render Co 5.47 N-W 5 N 4 with enhanced HMFOR performance, along with a 5.80-fold increase in the rate constant for the rate-determining step. This work puts forward an approach for developing efficient HMFOR catalysts by promoting the adsorption and activation of reaction molecules.

Metal-metal oxide catalysts are robust in selective hydrodeoxygenation of biomass derives. Herein, 1-hexanol in total yield about 76 % is firstly achieved by high selective hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural over Ni/MCM-41 and Pt-WO X /t-ZrO 2 . By controlling the amount ratio of Ni/Ni 2+ to 0.46, a 99.9 % yield of 2,5-tetrahydrofurandimethanol was achieved from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural by Ni/MCM-41. Subsequently high yield of 76 % of 1-hexanol was obtained by competing pathways of tandem reactions beginning at SN2 reaction at the epoxy atom of 2,5-tetrahydrofurandimethanol to enol/tautomer intermediates and ending with controllable selective hydrogenation. The reaction mechanism is explored and the reaction-oriented regulation is realized by the additional strong BrÖnsted acid sites generated by electron transfer from W to Pt and the appropriate amount of Pt 0 sites of Pt-WO X /t-ZrO 2 , where the ratios of W 5+ /W 6+ and Pt 0 /Pt 2+ are 0.31 and 4.58 respectively. This work provides a new and green method for the synthesis of 1-hexanol and expands the utilization of metal–metal oxide in making value-added products using sustainable feedstocks.

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has been extensively verified as a biobased aromatic ring platform compound. The development of mild and efficient novel oxidation technologies is important for FDCA preparation technologies. In this study, the efficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce FDCA by the TEMPO/NaClO/KBr single-phase aqueous catalytic oxidation system was systematically investigated, and the mechanism was analyzed in detail. Under the optimal reaction conditions, TEMPO as the main catalyst directly catalyzed the oxidation of HMF to FDCA, and the HMF conversion and FDCA yield both reached 100%. The oxidant NaClO could achieve a quantitative reaction (NaClO/HMF = 3:1(mol)). In addition, the reaction was conducted at mild room temperature and innovatively utilized a single aqueous system as the reaction solvent. This establishes a new method for the oxidative preparation of FDCA with the potential for technical scale-up.

5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), a vital metabolite of serotonin (5-HT), is crucial for understanding metabolic pathways and is implicated in various mental disorders. In situ monitoring of 5-HIAA is challenging due to the lack of affinity ligands and issues with electrochemical fouling. We present an advanced sensing approach that integrates customizable molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) with self-driven galvanic redox potentiometry (GRP) for precise, real-time in vivo monitoring of 5-HIAA. The sensor, featuring pyrrole as the functional monomer in the MIP on the micrometer-sized bipolar carbon fiber electrodes, exhibited nanomolar sensitivity and superior selectivity for 5-HIAA over biosynthetic pathway analogs like 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and serotonin. The MIPGRP sensor demonstrated excellent reversibility and resistance to fouling, enabling continuous monitoring in live guinea pig brains. We observed that intraperitoneal 5-HTP injection increases brain 5-HIAA levels, which is amplified up to 8-fold with Carbidopa pretreatment, providing deeper insights into the serotonergic signaling pathway. This work underscores the MIPGRP sensor’s potential as a versatile and reliable tool for advancing neuroscience research.

5,5′(oxy-bis(methylene)) bis-2-furfural (OBMF) is an important biobased chemical that can be synthesized through the self-etherification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in the presence of either homogeneous acid or solid acid catalysts, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) and molecular sieves. In previous studies, all authors believed that this process follows an acid-catalyzed mechanism, even though some argued that acid strength is not the key factor in the formation of OBMF. In this work, we present a new route for the synthesis of OBMF from HMF, utilizing hydrogen-bonding catalysis with protonated ionic liquids under metal-free conditions. [NMPH][OTf] featuring a cationic hydrogen bond donor and an anionic hydrogen bond acceptor, is effective for the self-etherification of HMF. Under the optimal conditions, the yield of OBMF reached approximately 92.4 %. Based on the results of Attenuated Total Reflectance Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation, it is determined that the cations and anions of ILs could activate the C O and O H bonds of HMF via hydrogen bonds respectively. This synergistically facilitates the self-etherification of two HMF molecules to form OBMF. After recycling the catalyst four times, the yield of OBMF did not decrease significantly. According to the Arrhenius law, the apparent activation energy and reaction order for [NMPH][OTf] in the self-etherification of HMF to OBMF are determined 40.7 kJ/mol and 1.0, respectively. The results suggested that [NMPH][OTf] is an excellent catalyst for the generation of OBMF from HMF. Therefore, this study offers a simple and environmentally friendly method for the production of OBMF, which holds promising potential for broad application prospect in the future.
