Neofusicoccum parvum is one of the most hazardous pathogens causing mango fruit decay. The present study utilized trans -2-hexenal (TH), a typical antifungal component of plant essential oils (EOs), to control N. parvum both in vivo and in vitro, and attempted to explore the mechanisms involved. The findings showed that at concentrations greater than 0.4 µL/mL, TH exhibited exceptional antifungal activity against N. parvum in vitro. TH application led to the disruption of the structural integrity of both cell walls and cell membranes, with a particular impact on the latter, as evidenced by the dramatically increased propidium iodide level, as well as reduced total lipids and ergosterol content. Further DCFH-DA staining experiments showed that TH induced mycelial reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, which exacerbated cell membrane lipid peroxidation. For easier application of TH, we fabricated aerogel-loaded TH (ALTH) materials, which demonstrated excellent antifungal activity in vitro. Infestation studies on fruits demonstrated that ALTH mitigated mango stem-end rot in a dose-dependent fashion, with a concentration of 40 µL/L showing efficacy comparable to the conventional fungicide prochloraz, while maintaining fruit quality. In light of these results, TH works by inducing ROS buildup and oxidative damage to the cell membrane of N. parvum , and is a particularly promising preservative for preventing postharvest infections in mangoes.

Due to the strong electronegativity of P in the anion group and the strong P─O covalent bond, NFPP exhibits low electronic and ionic conductivity, hindering its rate capability. A doping modification strategy of selecting La 3+ with a large ion radius at Na site has been designed, and the nano-micro architectural Na 4-3x La x □ 2x Fe 3 (PO 4 ) 2 (P 2 O 7 )/C (0≤x≤0.04) cathode material with Na vacancies is successfully synthesized via a scalable preparation route. Introducing positively charged substitutional point defects and charged vacancies through doping La 3+ not only broadens the Na + transport channels but also reduces lattice stress and stabilizes the crystal bulk structure during long-term cycling for La 3+ as pillars. Additionally, high valence La 3+ doping enhances the effective charge carrier concentration and improves material conductivity. Consequently, the kinetic performance of Na + migration is significantly enhanced. The optimal Na 3.91 La 0.03 □ 0.06 Fe 3 (PO 4 ) 2 (P 2 O 7 )/C (NFPP/C-La3) exhibits the best electrochemical performance. The synthesized NFPP/C-La3 exhibits excellent rate performance (99.45 mAh g −1 at 20 C) and long-term cycle stability (92.36% of capacity retention over 1000 cycles at 10 C). These results provide the importance and prospect of the high valence ion doping for NFPP/C with high rate stability.

In the framework of sustainable development, researchers in both traditional and modern chemistry are compelled to pursue innovation. The inherent drawbacks of conventional ester synthesis methods highlight the urgent need to develop efficient and environmentally benign approaches. This study introduces an electrochemical-intensified heterogeneous catalytic strategy for acrylate synthesis. A distinctive heterogeneous catalyst has been developed by bonding 2-methoxyphenothiazine onto nanosilica surface through the coupling agent 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane. The characterization of the catalyst was conducted through Infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and thermogravimetry (TG), as well as the Kjeldahl method, revealing a 12.86% loading and uniform distribution. The catalyst demonstrated remarkable efficacy in facilitating the esterification of acrylic acid and monohydric alcohols at room temperature, uniformly varying reaction rate processes compared to acid catalysis and achieving a catalytic yield exceeding 85%. Moreover, the catalytic activity largely remained consistent over six cycles. The electrochemical enhancement was instrumental in modifying the traditional esterification process. The electrochemical-intensified heterogeneous catalytic system for the esterification of acrylic acid meets the standards for green production. This research provides novel insights into integrated catalytic technologies for esterification, contributing to the advancement of sustainable chemistry.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Suhuang antitussive capsule (SH) is the only clinically approved traditional Chinese patent medicine for the treatment of post-infectious cough (PIC). During the past decade, our lab has conducted intensive researches on SH, including its efficacy and mechanism on PIC, and determined that SH has favorable anti-inflammatory, antitussive, expectorant, and anti-asthmatic pharmacological effects. Recently, we found that vicenin-2 (VIC-2) could be detected in SH and showed activity in vitro primary screening on PIC. Aim of the study To investigate the therapeutic effects of VIC-2 on PIC and its potential mechanisms, and want to elucidate VIC-2 as one of the efficacious components of SH. Materials and methods The PIC mouse model was established with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced combined cigarette smoke (CS)-exposed ICR mice, while the in vitro assay was constructed to induce BEAS-2B cells with cigarette smoke extract (CSE). The therapeutic effects of VIC-2 on PIC in vitro and in vivo were assessed by pathological sections, cough assay, immune cell counting, and quantitative-polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR). The mechanisms of VIC-2 on ferroptosis and mitophagy in PIC were further explored by cell viability assay, Prussian blue staining, lipid peroxidation assessment, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and western blotting. Subsequently, virtual docking, cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), and drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) verified the target relationship between VIC-2 and LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1). In addition, the link between LRP1 and mitophagy-dependent ferroptosis was explored by knocking down LRP1. Results VIC-2 significantly improved lung inflammation, oxidative stress, and airway remodeling in PIC and inhibited mitophagy-dependent ferroptosis, confirming that it is one of the antitussive components of SH for the treatment of PIC. LRP1 is one of the pharmacological targets of VIC-2, in which VIC-2 exerted the above effects through up-regulating LRP1 by influencing the LRP1-Parkin interaction. The blockade of LRP1 reversed the both in vitro and in vivo pharmacological activities of VIC-2 . Furthermore, our results showed for the first time that defects in LRP1 lead to ferroptosis. Conclusion This study demonstrates that VIC-2 inhibits mitophagy-dependent ferroptosis via LRP1 for the treatment of PIC, constituting one of the antitussive components of SH.

The Myrica rubra pomace polyphenols (MRPP) were used to study their hypoglycemic effects and mechanisms using Type 2 diabetes (T2D) (db/db) mice as the model. The results showed that the oral administration of MRPP (low-dose myricitrin, 50 mg/kg BW by gavage; high-dose myricitrin, 250 mg/kg BW by gavage; and Myrica rubra pomace, 500 mg/kg BW by gavage) for 4 weeks significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, glycated serum protein, serum insulin, and insulin resistance index in mice, as well as the dyslipidemia in mice was improved. MRPP was able to improve the structural morphology of hepatocytes and pancreatic β-cells in diabetic mice. Its hypoglycemic mechanism may involve the upregulation of GLUT-4 and IRS-1 genes expression in the PI3K and AMPK signaling pathways, downregulation of GSK-3β, AMPK, PI3K, and AKT genes expression, and enhancement of the activity of enzymes related to glycogen synthesis and glucose metabolism. Research findings on 16S rRNA suggest that MRPP has the ability to alter the composition of the gut microbiota, impede the growth of harmful bacteria, and foster the growth of beneficial bacteria. Therefore, MRPP was capable of reshaping the specific gut microbial community and supporting its application as a novel supplement in functional foods for the treatment of T2D.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is mainly manifested by cognitive dysfunction, accompanied by excessive β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and neuroinflammation. The regulation of vagus nerve (VN) signal transmission is crucial for influencing the pathological progression of AD and exploring new therapeutic approaches. Two doses of 2'-FL (500 &1000 mg/kg) were administered orally to AD model mice. The 2'-FL rescued spatial and recognition memory deficits in AD mice. Moreover, 2'-FL reduced Aβ deposition and neuroinflammation. The 2'-FL enhances c-Fos expression in the NTS. This suggested that 2'-FL alleviated AD related cognition by enhancing VN afferent activity. Vagotomy demonstrated that the alleviation of AD related cognition by 2'-FL depended on the presence of VN. Moreover, 2'-FL enhanced gut barrier function, alleviated gut inflammatory. Notably, 2'-FL also reshaped the gut microbiota composition, increasing the relative abundance of Intestinimonas, Muribaculum, and others. Moreover, 2'-FL promoted the production of SCFAs. Correlation analysis showed that propionate was highly correlated with other related indicators. After vagotomy, although 2'-FL promoted the SCFAs production, it didn't alleviate cognitive impairment. This suggested that the neuroprotective effect of SCFAs could also be partially dependent on the VN. 2'-FL rescued the cognitive deficits in AD mice, which was partly explained by changes in gut microbial composition, production of SCFAs, and the presence of VN.

As a promising stationary energy storage device, aqueous redox flow battery (ARFB) still faces the challenge of low open-circuit voltage, due to the limitation of the potential of water splitting (1.23 V theoretically). Herein, we present a low potential anolyte design by using Na substituted phosphotungstic acid (3Na-PW 12 ) for an aqueous redox flow battery with the high open-circuit voltage up to 2.0 V. The 3Na-PW 12 can store 5 electrons in the charging process and simultaneously capture Na + or protons from the dissociation of water, resulting in the increase of electrolyte pH to 11. Because of the high pH value, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is highly suppressed, and the 3Na-PW 12 is partially degraded into a lacunary structured PW 11 with extremely low potential down to −1.1 V (vs. SHE). After discharging, the captured protons are re-released into the solution, therefore, pH and the structure of 3Na-PW 12 are recovered. Based on the cyclic pH change and self-regulation process of 3Na-PW 12 in the charge and discharge process, the aqueous flow battery offered a high-power density of 200 mW cm −2 and 160 mW cm −2 coupled with Br 2 /Br − and I 2 /I − catholyte respectively.

Flavonoid isorhamnetin occurs in various plants and herbs, and demonstrates various biological effects in humans. This work will clarify the isorhamnetin absorption mechanism using the Caco-2 monolayer cell model. The isorhamnetin transport characteristics at different concentrations, pHs, temperatures, tight junctions and potential transporters were systemically investigated. Isorhamnetin was poorly absorbed by both passive diffusion and active transport mechanisms. Both trans- and paracellular pathways were involved during isorhamnetin transport. Active transport under an ATP-dependent transport mechanism was mediated by the organic anion transporting peptide (OATP); isorhamnetin’s permeability from the apical to the basolateral side significantly decreased after estrone-3-sulfate was added ( p < 0.01). Efflux transporters, P-glycoproteins (P-gp), breast cancer resistance proteins (BCRP) and multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs) participated in the isorhamnetin transport process. Among them, the MRPs (especially MRP2) were the main efflux transporters for isorhamnetin; transport from the apical to the basolateral side increased 10.8-fold after adding an MRP inhibitor (MK571). This study details isorhamnetin’s cellular transport and elaborates isorhamnetin’s absorption mechanisms to provide a foundation for further studies.

Two novel weakly basic anion exchange resins BNH and BN2 bearing two different functional groups was fabricated via the two-step amination of chloromethylated polystyrene-divinylbenzene beads with dibutylamine and dimethylamine. The adsorption properties of BNH and BN2 for the 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (NSA) removal from wastewater were compared with two synthesized monofunctional anion exchange resins BN0 and BN6 (derived from dimethylamine and dibutylamine, respectively). The experimental data revealed that the adsorption process on the four resins fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetics equation and the equilibrium isotherms were in good agreement with the Langmuir model. Thermodynamic analyses illustrated that 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid adsorption onto resins was an endothermic and spontaneous process. Importantly, BN2 still displayed relatively high adsorption capacity in the existence of Na2SO4, indicative of an excellent selectivity for 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid over sulfate than other resins. The obtained results elucidate that BN2 could have potential industrial application in effluent disposal fields because of its superior selectivity, acceptable kinetics, and desorption capability.

Pyrophosphate (PPi) is involved in lots of anabolism and bioenergetic processes in organisms and possesses important biological functions so that its detection is very significant. Here, we developed a selective fluorometric detection method for PPi with a copper(II) complex of 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine (bbimp), and then applied it to the detection of bacterial alarmone ppGpp. bbimp has the fluorescence emission at 395 nm, but the bbimp–Cu 2+ complex is hardly fluorescent because the intrinsic fluorescence of bbimp is effectively quenched by Cu 2+ . With the addition of PPi, however, the fluorescence emission of bbimp turns on with a 2 nm red-shift, and has a linear relationship with PPi in the range of 3–90 μmol/L. This method has good selectivity for PPi over other anions especially those phosphate-containing anions such as ATP, UTP, CTP, GTP, GDP, and PO 4 3− .

Protein N-phosphorylation plays a critical role in central metabolism and two/multicomponent signaling of prokaryotes. However, the current enrichment methods for O-phosphopeptides are not preferred for N-phosphopeptides due to the intrinsic lability of P-N bond under acidic conditions. Therefore, the effective N-phosphoproteome analysis remains challenging. Herein, bis(zinc(II)-dipicolylamine)-functionalized sub-2 μm core-shell silica microspheres (SiO 2 @DpaZn) are tailored for rapid and effective N-phosphopeptides enrichment. Due to the coordination of phosphate groups to Zn(II), N-phosphopeptides can be effectively captured under neutral conditions. Moreover, the method is successfully applied to an E.coli and HeLa N-phosphoproteome study. These results further broaden the range of methods for the discovery of N-phosphoproteins with significant biological functions.

There is a high demand to synthesize ozone decomposition catalysts especially in high-space-velocity and high-relative-humidity (RH) environments. Herein, two polymorphs of cobalt hydroxide, α- and β-Co(OH)2, are synthesized and applied for ozone elimination. β-Co(OH)2 shows ∼90% ozone decomposition efficiency under high space velocity (weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) = 1,200,000 mL g–1 h–1, 25 °C, 40 ppm), which is far higher than that of α-Co(OH)2 (∼5%). β-Co(OH)2 has high spin Co(II) in distorted octahedral coordination caused by the Jahn-Teller effect, leading to a higher crystal field splitting energy level and thus contributing to the easier electron transfer between the ozone and catalyst. Moreover, β-Co(OH)2 still shows high performance (∼87%) even in humid conditions (RH ∼50%, 25 °C, 40 ppm, WHSV = 600,000 mL g–1 h–1), which is attributable to its abundant surface non-hydrogen-bonded hydroxyls weakening water molecule adsorption, providing an idea to develop highly efficient catalysts for ozone decomposition in humid environments.
