Delanzomib is a novel proteasome inhibitor initially developed for treating multiple myeloma. It was found to inhibit the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). This study aimed to investigate the ameliorating effect of delanzomib on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and to explore the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics (PK) interactions between delanzomib and adalimumab. Rats with CIA were randomly assigned to receive the treatment with delanzomib, adalimumab, delanzomib combined with adalimumab, or placebo. Visual inspection and biochemical examinations including TNF-α, interleukin 6, and C-reactive protein were performed to assess arthritis severity during the treatment. The adalimumab concentration in rats was determined to evaluate the PK interaction between delanzomib and adalimumab. Also, the levels of neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) and FcRn mRNA were measured to explore the role of FcRn in the PK interaction between delanzomib and adalimumab. As a result, delanzomib combined with adalimumab exhibited stronger anti-arthritis activity than a single drug because both drugs synergistically reduced TNF-α level in vivo. Delanzomib also decreased adalimumab elimination in rats by increasing the level of FcRn. The slower elimination of adalimumab in rats further prolonged the anti-TNF-α effect of adalimumab. Moreover, FcRn level was increased by delanzomib via suppressing FcRn degradation rather than promoting FcRn production. In conclusion, delanzomib combined with adalimumab may be a potential therapeutic approach for treating rheumatoid arthritis. The initial finding that the PK interaction occurred between delanzomib and adalimumab may have clinical relevance for patients who simultaneously take proteasome inhibitors and anti-TNF-α therapeutic proteins.

A simple and fast normal-phase high performance liquid chromatography method for simultaneous detection of α-tocopherol, β-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol, δ-tocopherol, sesamin, sesamolin, sesamol, and asarinin in sesame oil (SO) was investigated. Conditions were a silica gel column as the separation unit, n -hexane and tetrahydrofuran (93:7, v/v) as the mobile phase, isocratic elution, a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min, column temperature of 30 °C, and florescence detector with excitation and emission wavelengths of 295 and 330 nm. SO samples were directly dissolved in n -hexane for HPLC analysis. Results showed that the method performed wide linear ranges and good linearity (0.27–100.0 μg/mL, R 2 > 0.9996), low limits of detection (0.09–0.16 μg/mL) and quantification (0.27–0.41 μg/mL), good precision and accuracy (biases of <2.83 % and relative standard deviations of <3.77 %), good separation performance [resolution factor (1.66–6.20), separation factor (1.11–3.94), retention factor (1.08–1.42), and height of theoretical plates (0.01–0.04 mm)], and satisfactory recoveries (87.3–109.8 % for SO and 96.5–106.9 % for lard). The method was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of the eight analytes in eleven SO samples.

Designing a photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor that can produce dual photocurrent signals which can refer to each other is a great importance but a big challenge. In this manuscript, a novel dual photocurrent signals immunosensor was constructed for the detection of α-fetoprotein (AFP). Unlike the usual method of using two composite materials to provide cathode and anode photocurrent respectively, this work applies only one compound of MIL-101 (Cr) and CdSe quantum dots (QDs). Thereinto, we found that the photocurrent polarity of MIL-101(Cr) would switch by adjusting applied voltage . And then CdSe QDs was introduced by simple ultrasound mixing to boost the dual photocurrent signals. Furthermore, in the composite of M&C, the electron transfer path between MIL-101(Cr) and CdSe QDs may switch between “Z-type” and “Ⅱ-type” by adjusting voltage. Benefiting by the dual signals, the proposed sensor can not only perform sensitively quantitative detection of α-fetoprotein (AFP), but also can intuitively estimate the accuracy and reliability of the test result by determining whether the corresponding relationship of “cathode photocurrent-analyte concentration-anode photocurrent” is established. The linear ranges of the sensing electrodes as cathode and anode are the same, both from 0.1 to 300 ng mL −1 . The limit of detection (LOD) is 0.082 ng mL −1 (S/N = 3) when it used as an anode, and the LOD is 0.054 ng mL −1 (S/N = 3) when it served as cathode. Furthermore, this sensor showed acceptable stability, reproducibility, specificity, and feasibility of detecting AFP in human serum, which has broad development prospects in the early clinical diagnosis.

Hematite can be used as an efficient photoanode for solar water oxidation , but its oxygen evolution kinetics are quite slow. Herein, we developed an efficient hole transport photoanode via the in situ growth of ultrathin Fe-doped NiOOH on fluorine-doped hematite arrays using a natural growth strategy. The resulting FeNiOOH/F–Fe 2 O 3 photoanode showed a high charge separation and injection efficiency. It achieved a stable photocurrent density of 2.52 mA cm −2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE, which was approximately 4.1-fold higher than that of pristine α-Fe 2 O 3 . Systematic studies revealed that the excellent photoelectrochemical activity was due to heteroatom doping and interactions between the co-catalyst (FeNiOOH) and F–Fe 2 O 3 . Fe doping primarily changed the lattice strain of the co-catalyst, while F doping decreased surface charge recombination and enhanced the intrinsic conductivity of hematite by increasing the carrier density. An ultrathin, amorphous layer of FeNiOOH further accelerated photogenerated hole extraction and the water oxidation kinetics. This work provides a method to produce new, cost-effective photoanodes for clean hydrogen production .

Developing favorable charge transfer mode for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution in a photocatalyst is a promising way to enhance photocatalytic activity . In this study, MOF, decorated with different functional groups, was initially used as charge transfer mode convertor coupled with CdS/α-NiS-β-NiS. The NH 2 -UiO-66/CdS/α-NiS-β-NiS lead to twice and triple higher H 2 evolution compared to (OH) 2 -UiO-66/CdS/α-NiS-β-NiS and UiO-66/CdS/α-NiS-β-NiS respectively under simulated sunlight. The NH 2 -UiO-66 provides suitable energy band structure to formed Z-scheme with CdS/α-NiS-β-NiS, which plays a synergistic role in the photocatalytic process. The loading of α-NiS-β-NiS significantly improves the visible light absorption ability and provides abundant active sites. As a result, the α-NiS-β-NiS/CdS/NH 2 -UiO-66 show considerable photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of 17.88 mmol h −1 g −1 , which is 7.9 times and 2.5 times as high as-those of pure CdS and 7-α-NiS-β-NiS/CdS, and it also shows a prominent apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of 14.7% at 420 nm. This work provides a new insight design a metal organic frameworks based heterojunction with highly-efficient photo-induced charge separation and excellent visible-light absorption ability.

A novel method for one-pot synthesis of functional oil rich in diacylglycerols (DAGs), phytosterol esters (PEs) and α-linolenic acid (ALA) was developed. Firstly, candida rugosa lipase ( CRL ) and thermomyces lanuginosus lipase ( TLL ) were co-immobilized on polydopamine coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (PDA@Fe 3 O 4 NPs) via covalent bonds. The prepared co-immobilized bi-lipases ( CRL/TLL -PDA@Fe 3 O 4 ) displayed excellent thermal stability, catalytic activity and reusability in comparison to the free forms. Then a rapid one-pot enzymatic synthesis of functional oil was conducted by using CRL/TLL -PDA@Fe 3 O 4 as the biocatalyst. Three kinds of functional oils were produced with high DAGs, PEs and ALA content (≥30.09%, ≥15.61% and ≥26.45%, respectively) under the optimized conditions (1:3:2 phytosterols/ALA/triglycerides, 20 mg/mL CRL/TLL -PDA@Fe 3 O 4 , 40 °C, 8 h). In comparison to a two-step (sequential/immobilized monolipase) synthesis, a significantly synergistic effects occurred in the co-immobilized bi-lipases system. The results demonstrated the feasibility of the novel strategy and would be helpful for the oils and fats industry.

Clausena indica (Datz.) Oliv fruit pericarps (CIOPs) is an important agro-industrial by-product rich in active components. In this article, the effects of traditional and green deep eutectic solvents (DESs) on the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) characterization, antioxidant activities, and α-glucosidase-inhibitory activity of phenolic extracts from CIOPs were investigated for the first time. The results showed that ChCl-Gly and Bet-CA had higher extraction efficiency for the total phenolic content (TPC, 64.14–64.83 mg GAE/g DW) and total flavonoid content (TFC, 47.83–48.11 mg RE/g DW) compared with the traditional solvents (water, methanol, and ethyl acetate). LC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS was adopted to identify the phenolic compositions of the CIOPs extracts. HPLC-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) results indicated that arbutin, (–)-epigallocatechin, chlorogenic acid, procyanidin B1, (+)-catechin, and (–)-epicatechin were the major components for all extracts, especially for deep eutectic solvents (DESs). In addition, ChCl-Xyl and ChCl-Gly extracts showed higher antioxidant activities against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•), 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS+•), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), reducing power (RP), and cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) than extracts extracted by other solvents. A strong α-glucosidase-inhibiting activity (IC50, 156.25-291.11 μg/ml) was found in three DESs extracts. Furthermore, in silico analysis of the major phenolics in the CIOPs extracts was carried out to explore their interactions with α-glucosidase. Multivariate analysis was carried out to determine the key factors affecting the antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase-inhibiting activity. In short, DES can be taken as a promising solvent for valorization and recovery of bioactive compounds from agro-industrial by-products. The results verified that CIOPs can be used as a prospective source rich in bio-active compounds applied in the food and pharmacy industries.

α-Amylase inhibitors constitute a category of compounds capable of diminishing α-amylase activity and hold significant promise for the development of novel drugs. This study focused on assessing the potential of Schisandra chinensis Baill extract to inhibit α-amylase. However, sieving and segregating inhibitors from intricate mixtures presents an obstacle. Consequently, this study devised and refined a methodology centered on immobilized α-amylase to identify and isolate natural inhibitors from S. chinensis . The immobilized α-amylase, featuring a load capacity of 254.18 ± 1.20 μg/mg and a specific activity of 2.69 ± 0.01 U/mg, was achieved through meticulous optimization of preparation conditions. Subsequently, this immobilized enzyme was used to isolate bioactive compounds from S. chinensis extract. The results revealed the presence of an active compound with an IC 50 of 324.12 ± 11.23 μg/mL. This compound was isolated via magnetic immobilized enzyme-based ligand fishing, employing high-speed countercurrent chromatography , and was conclusively identified as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. The molecular docking analyses revealed its ability to interact with the active pocket of α-amylase through multiple hydrogen bonds .

The inhibitory mechanisms of purified bound polyphenols extracted from mung bean coat dietary fiber (pMBDF-BP) on porcine pancreatic α -amylase (PPA) were investigated through inhibition kinetics, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, differential scanning calorimetry and molecular docking. It was shown that pMBDF-BP exerted significant reversible inhibition on PPA in a mixed-type inhibition manner (IC 50 = 18.57 ± 0.30 μg/mL), and the combination of the three major components exhibited a synergistic inhibitory effect on PPA. Further, pMBDF-BP bound to the active site or form a polyphenol-enzyme complex at the inactive site through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic forces, via enhancing the hydrophobicity of the microenvironment surrounding tryptophan and tyrosine residues and promoting the secondary structure of PPA towards a more stable conformation, eventually reducing the enzyme activity. This study provided theoretical evidences for the utilization of bound polyphenols extracted from mung bean coat dietary fiber as a functional component in natural inhibitors of α -amylase.

Typically, perylene diimide radical anions have broad and strong absorption in the near-infrared light region and exhibit excellent photothermal conversion performance, so they are considered as new potential organic photothermal materials. However, the stability of perylene diimide radical anions in air has always been a thorny issue. We found an effective way to improve the stability of perylene diimide radical anions through formation of low barrier hydrogen bonds between perylene diimide radicals and alkyl primary amines. In this paper, we report the synthesis of a stable perylene diimide radical anion/α-phenylethylamine hydrogen bonded complex (α-PEA⋯PDI˙−), and preparation of a kind of α-PEA⋯PDI˙−/GO (graphene oxide) film using a simple impregnation method. Compared to GO films and α-PEA⋯PDI˙− powder, the film exhibited a good photothermal response with the highest photothermal conversion temperature of 82.4 °C under light, a temperature increase rate of up to 35 °C, and a photothermal conversion efficiency of 24.07%. The film is optically stable and reusable, and also exhibits superior performance compared to pure graphene oxide for solar water evaporation.

Owing to the high specific surface area, rich active sites, well-controlled morphology and structural stability with tunable compositional components, the rational combination of hybrid nanostructured materials from metal-organic frameworks templates has become highly attractive and still of great challenge for supercapacitors. In this work, three bimetallic metal–organic frameworks Co 1-x Fe x -MOF-74/NF ( x = 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 ) nanoarrays with different proportional Co/Fe ratios on nickel foam have been successfully designed and fabricated via in-situ interfacial growth method, which were further controllable converted to α-Co(OH) 2 /CoFe 2 O 4 nanoarrays with different proportional Co/Fe ratios CF-x/NF ( x = 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 ) without structure collapse through alkaline etching process. Among them, the transformation of the bamboo-shoot-like CF-0.75/NF electrode displays excellent electrochemical properties with high area capacitance (3941.14 mF/cm 2 at 2 mA/cm 2 ), good rate capability, low resistances and remarkable cycling stability. The CF-0.75//AC ASC device delivers a high energy density of 0.16 mWh/cm 2 at a power density of 0.756.1 mW/cm 2 . And this CF-0.75//AC ASC device exhibits a good cycling stability and practical application in energy storage field. This strategy could be extend to form other unique bimetallic hybrids nanoarrays architectures with enhanced electrochemical activity for high-performance energy storage devices.
