A simple and facile needle-adapter was designed for constructing manual on-line polymer monolith microextraction-high performance liquid chromatography (PMME-HPLC). A capillary poly(4-vinylpyridine- co -ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) [poly(VP- co -EGDMA)] monolith was prepared by in situ polymerization, using 4-vinylpyridine (VP) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as functional monomer and cross-linker, respectively. The synthesized monolith was used as the extraction medium for concentrating four EPA priority pollutants, 2-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and pentachlorophenol, from water samples. The effect of the dosage of porogen polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) on back pressure and extraction performance of the capillary monolith was also investigated. Moreover, the influences of several parameters (such as extraction time, desorption time, content of MeOH in sample solution and sample pH) were examined to obtain the optimal PMME conditions. As a result, the established on-line PMME-HPLC protocol, with good extraction efficiency (80.6–91.7%), satisfactory recovery (94.7–106% and 76.8–86.3% for water and serum samples, respectively) and low detection limit (0.3–1.4 μg/L), exhibited potential applicability for the analysis of chlorophenols in environmental and biological samples.

Chlorinated aromatic chemicals are highly hazardous, transmissible, and bioaccumulative. Developing an economically feasible catalytic method to facilitate the effective removal of chlorinated aromatic pollutants is critical for contamination prevention. The current study extensively investigated the utilization of organic ligands such as citrate (CA) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to increase Fe(II)-activated persulfate (PS) for 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 3-chlorobenzoic acid (3-CB) degradation in water. The decomposition and consumption ability of persulfate in PS alone and Fe(II)/PS systems for 4-CP and 3-CB was very low because of the rapid utilization as well as discontinuous availability of Fe(II), which indicates the decline of Fe(III) to Fe(II). But, when using the citrate/Fe(II)/PS and EDTA/Fe(II)/PS combinations, the degradation of 4-CP and 3-CB was 78.86%, 75.01% and 84.84%, 80.99% within 30 min, respectively. The significant enhancement is due to both ligand-to-metal transfer of charges process, and this increased the process of rate determination through carrying electrons into the citrate and EDTA ligands to Fe(III), generating Fe(II). In addition, the 4-CP and 3-CB degradation facilitated with citrate/Fe(II)/PS and EDTA/Fe(II)/PS systems was efficiently degraded at acidic pH (2.0–6.0) conditions. The pseudo-first-order kinetics model accurately predicted 4-CP and 3-CB degradation in the organic ligand/Fe(II)/PS systems. The degradation percentage of 4-CP and 3-CB increased with increasing PS and Fe(II) concentrations. Moreover, both sulfate and hydroxyl radicals formed by citrate/Fe(II)/PS and EDTA/Fe(II)/PS systems were identified as major reactive oxygen species for 4-CP and 3-CB decomposition. The present investigation recommends an alternate strategy to enhance the Fe(II)-activated persulfate mechanisms.

Efflux transport is a critical determinant to the pharmacokinetics of sulfate conjugates. Here we aimed to establish SULT1A3 stably transfected HEK293 cells, and to determine the contributions of BCRP and MRP transporters to excretion of chrysin and apigenin sulfates. The cDNA of SULT1A3 was stably introduced into HEK293 cells using a lentiviral vector , generating a sulfonation active cell line (i.e., SULT293 cells). Identification of sulfate transporters was achieved through chemical inhibition (using chemical inhibitors) and biological inhibition (using short-hairpin RNAs (shRNAs)) methods. Sulfated metabolites were rapidly generated and excreted upon incubation of SULT293 cells with chrysin and apigenin. Ko143 (a selective BCRP inhibitor) did not show inhibitory effects on sulfate disposition, whereas the pan-MRP inhibitor MK-571 caused significant reductions (38.5–64.3%, p < 0.001) in sulfate excretion and marked elevations (160–243%, p < 0.05) in sulfate accumulation. Further, two efflux transporters (BCRP and MRP4) expressed in the cells were knocked-down by shRNA-mediated silencing. Neither sulfate excretion nor sulfate accumulation was altered in BCRP knocked-down cells as compared to scramble cells. By contrast, MRP4 knock-down led to moderate decreases (17.1–20.6%, p < 0.05) in sulfate excretion and increases (125–135%, p < 0.05) in sulfate accumulation. In conclusion, MRP4 was identified as an exporter for chrysin and apigenin sulfates. The SULT1A3 modified HEK293 cells were an appropriate tool to study SULT1A3-mediated sulfonation and to characterize BCRP/MRP4-mediated sulfate transport.

Chlorinated phenols are priority pollutants that require efficient low-temperature removal technologies. Here, we synthesize a series of spinel-type MAl 2 O 4 (M = Co, Mg, Zn, Cu) supports and deposit 1 wt% Pd via incipient-wetness impregnation to evaluate their hydrodechlorination (HDC) performance toward 4-chlorophenol under ambient aqueous conditions (30 °C, 0.2 MPa H 2 ). Catalytic screening shows that the identity of the divalent A-site cation strongly modulates activity: Pd/Co-Al achieves 91.8 % conversion with > 98.3 % selectivity to phenol, outperforming Pd/Ni-Al (84.7 %) and the remaining analogues. Pd/Cu-Al exhibits almost no conversion (<5.0 %), while Pd/Mg-Al and Pd/Zn-Al give moderate conversions (ca.55.4–58.7 %). Detailed characterization by XRD, N 2 -physisorption, H 2 -TPR, XPS and STEM reveals that the superior performance of Pd/Co-Al is rooted in (i) strong metal–support interactions that stabilize a balanced Pd 2+ /Pd 0 surface ensemble, (ii) coherent lattice matching at Pd(1 1 1)/CoAl 2 O 4 (311) interfaces that suppress particle growth, and (iii) high spinel thermostability that mitigates leaching and coking. A 30 h continuous-flow test confirms stable operation without activity loss. This work elucidates how subtle variations in spinel composition dictate Pd electronic structure and interfacial geometry, providing design principles for next-generation HDC catalysts.

Epidemiologic studies have shown a reduced risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD) among cigarette smokers. Nicotine, as a key component in tobacco products, is thought as a possible candidate for action of smoking in neuroprotection. α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7-nAChRs) is one of the most abundant nAChRs in the mammalian brain. Although nicotine is thought to exert this protective action by acting on nicotinic receptors, including the α7-nAChRs; the mechanisms underlying how α7-nAChRs protect against dopaminergic neuron loss are highly complex. Using nicotine and a selective α7-nAChR agonist PNU-282987, we first confirmed that their addition to SH-SY5Y cells challenged with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP + ) could afford neuroprotection and result in a reduction in apoptotic cell death. Then, we found that the pretreatment with nicotine and PNU-282987 showed the neuroprotective antiapoptotic effects via activating the α7-nAChRs/MAPK/p53 axis. Furthermore, we used RNA interference to silence the expression of α7-nAChRs in SH-SY5Y cells and found that suppressing α7-nAChR expression diminished the antiapoptotic effects of nicotine and PNU-282987, not the toxic effects of MPP + . Moreover, α7-nAChR knockdown could only decrease the inhibitory effects of nicotine and PNU-282987 on the phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), not c-Jun amino-terminal kinase and p38. Therefore, our findings indicate the important roles of ERK/MAPK signaling in the neuroprotective effects of α7-nAChRs and suggest that α7-nAChR agonists may be validated as novel treatments for PD.

Sulfonation is an important metabolic pathway for hesperetin. However, the mechanisms for the cellular disposition of hesperetin and its sulfate metabolites are not fully established. In this study, disposition of hesperetin via the sulfonation pathway was investigated using human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells overexpressing sulfotransferase 1A3. Two monosulfates, hesperetin-3′-O-sulfate (H-3′-S) and hesperetin-7-O-sulfate (H-7-S), were rapidly generated and excreted into the extracellular compartment upon incubation of the cells with hesperetin. Regiospecific sulfonation of hesperetin by the cell lysate followed the substrate inhibition kinetics (Vmax = 0.66 nmol/min per mg, Km = 12.9 μM, and Ksi= 58.1 μM for H-3′-S; Vmax = 0.29 nmol/min per mg, Km = 14.8 μM, and Ksi= 49.1 μM for H-7-S). The pan–multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) inhibitor MK-571 at 20 μM essentially abolished cellular excretion of both H-3′-S and H-7-S (the excretion activities were only 6% of the control), whereas the breast cancer resistance protein–selective inhibitor Ko143 had no effects on sulfate excretion. In addition, knockdown of MRP4 led to a substantial reduction (>47.1%; P < 0.01) in sulfate excretion. Further, H-3′-S and H-7-S were good substrates for transport by MRP4 according to the vesicular transport assay. Moreover, sulfonation of hesperetin and excretion of its metabolites were well characterized by a two-compartment pharmacokinetic model that integrated drug uptake and sulfonation with MRP4-mediated sulfate excretion. In conclusion, the exporter MRP4 controlled efflux transport of hesperetin sulfates in HEK293 cells. Due to significant expression in various organs/tissues (including the liver and kidney), MRP4 should be a determining factor for the elimination and body distribution of hesperetin sulfates.

Depolymerizing lignin to produce high-value chemicals has garnered increasing attention. Given the complex structure of real lignin, the cracking efficiency ofβ-O-4 linkages and the selectivity of depolymerization products are significantly lower than those of lignin model compounds. Meanwhile, the relationship between the structure of lignin and theβ-O-4 linkage cracking was ignored. In this work, to well address the issue, three real lignins (corncob lignin (CL), pinus massoniana lignin (PML), and eucalyptus lignin (EL)) were employed to discuss the impacts of special ether bonds in lignin on theβ-O-4 linkage cracking in the no-additional-hydrogen catalytic system mediated by a CoNi2@BTC catalyst. The lignin depolymerization results showed that the ether bonding structure in the lignin significantly impacted the cracking ofβ-O-4 linkages and selectivity of the final products, resulting in a great difference among their intermediates. Notably, the methoxy groups in the real lignin greatly inhibited the further hydrogenation of phenolic compounds, resulting in the accumulation of abundant methoxy-substituted phenolic compounds and a low yield of cycloalkanes (12.37% to 14.06%). To deeply discuss theβ-O-4 linkage cracking in the lignin depolymerization, degradation experiments with coexisting ether bond compounds were performed, and the activation energy was employed to quantitatively evaluate the impacts of other ether bonds on theβ-O-4 linkage cracking. The results revealed that multiple ether bonds (α-O-4, 4-O-5, and methoxy group) significantly increased the activation energy (from 236% to 373%) ofβ-O-4 linkages, resulting in the evident decline in theβ-O-4 model compound. In addition, the degradation of the methoxy-substitutedβ-O-4 model compound (GG) demonstrated that the methoxy-substituted aromatic ring products were resistant to further hydrogenation, resulting in the accumulation of methoxy-substituted aromatic ring products in the depolymerization of real lignin. All the findings will provide a novel perspective for the targeted high-value utilization of real lignin in chemical production.

3,5-O-Dicaffeoylquinic acid (3,5-DCQA) from edible Gongju chrysanthemum has shown protective effects against alcoholic hepatocyte injury in our previous study. However, the specific effects and mechanisms of 3,5-DCQA in a mouse model of liver injury remain underexplored. This study aimed to examine the efficacy and primary mechanism of 3,5-DCQA from Gongju chrysanthemum in ameliorating acute alcoholic liver injury in mice. The results indicated that 3,5-DCQA effectively attenuated inflammation and apoptosis by regulating the content of key factors (e.g. MyD88, NF-κB) in the TLR-4/NF-κB pathway, contributing to its protective role against alcohol-induced liver injury. 3,5-DCQA also inhibited inflammation and apoptosis by recovering the key metabolites (e.g. phosphatidylserine) and related genes (e.g. Lpgat1) of glycerophospholipid metabolism. These results were further verified by transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses, showing that 3,5-DCQA exerts protective effects against alcohol-induced liver injury by modulating glycerophospholipid metabolism and suppressing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis through the TLR-4/NF-κB pathway. The current findings highlight the hepatoprotectivity of 3,5-DCQA and may facilitate the application of Gongju chrysanthemum in liver-protective functional foods.

Beryllium-based selenites have rarely been reported. Herein, the first two alkaline earth metal beryllium-based selenites, Ca3Be(SeO3)4 and SrBe(SeO3)2, have been synthesized using a mild hydrothermal method. In both crystals, Be is connected to four [SeO3]2− groups. Due to the different arrangements of [SeO3]2− groups, these two crystals exhibit significantly different optical anisotropy. From Ca3Be(SeO3)4 to SrBe(SeO3)2, the birefringence ranges from 0.005@546 nm to 0.058@546 nm. Theoretical calculations confirmed the dominant role of [SeO3]2− in the optical anisotropy of these two crystals. In addition, both of them exhibited large band gaps (5.40 and 5.28 eV) and high thermal stability (596 and 570 °C). This work demonstrates that the introduction of beryllium can effectively increase the band gap of selenites to over 5 eV and offers new ideas for the development of large-bandgap selenites.

The highly toxic organophosphate pesticide methyl parathion (MP) is widely used in agriculture and thus poses significant risks to the environment. Organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) can effectively catalyze the hydrolysis of MP, but generate a toxic product of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), so the following reduction of 4-NP to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) with low toxicity but high economic value has been designed for sustainable development. Therefore, the cascade conversion of highly hazardous MP to economically valuable 4-AP is an attractive strategy for both environmental remediation and industrial applications. In this study, we synthesized a reduction-catalytic cupric metal–organic framework (CuBDC) in solvent-free aqueous phase and under mild conditions and in situ encapsulated OPH within CuBDC via a cation polyelectrolyte poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)-assisted biomineralization, creating a chemoenzymatic cascade catalyst (OPH-PAH@CuBDC) for MP conversion to 4-NP. The optimized OPH-PAH@CuBDC exhibited 154% hydrolysis activity of free OPH, 130% reduction activities of pure CuBDC, and an average cascade conversion rate of 6.2 μmol·min–1·gcatalyst–1, affording a complete conversion of 50 μM MP to 4-AP in only 6 min at low reductant concentration (20 mM NaBH4), due to the Cu2+-activation effect on the encapsulated OPH and the PAH-induced exposure of more reduction-catalytic sites, respectively. Furthermore, OPH-PAH@CuBDC retained 95% activity in 10 day storage and about 50% activity in 10 recycles. The results proved that OPH-PAH@CuBDC is a promising chemoenzymatic catalyst with great potential in practical applications for MP detoxification and resourcilization.

A poly(4-vinylpridine-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolith was synthesized in a capillary and constructed as a concentrator for the in-line polymeric monolith microextraction coupling with capillary electrophoresis. The integrated system was then used for the simultaneous determination of five trace phenols (2-nitrophenol, 3-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol, 2-chlorophenol, and 2,4-dichlorophenol) in water samples. The experimental parameters for in-line solid-phase extraction, such as composition and volume of the elution plug, pH of sample solution, and the time for sample loading were optimized. The sensitivity for the mixture of phenols (2-nitrophenol, 3-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol, 2-chlorophenol, and 2,4-dichlorophenol) enhanced to 615–2222 folds at the optimum condition was compared to the sensitivity for a normal hydrodynamic injection in capillary electrophoresis. Linearity ranged from concentration of 10–500 ng mL −1 ( R 2 > 0.999) for all five phenols with the detection limits of 1.3–3.3 ng mL −1 . In tap, snow and Yangtze River water spiked with 20 ng mL −1 and 200 ng mL −1 , respectively, the recoveries of 84–105% were obtained. It has been demonstrated that this work has great potential for the analysis of phenols in genuine water samples.
