To discern whether tuna oil modulates the expression of brain proteins and the gut microbiota structure during aging induced by d-galactose, we generated an aging mouse model with d-galactose treatment, and the mice showed aging and memory deterioration symptoms according to physiological and biochemical indices. Treatment with different doses of tuna oil alleviated the symptoms; the high dose showed a better effect. Subsequently, brain proteomic analysis showed the differentially expressed proteins were involved in damaged synaptic system repairment and signal transduction system enhancement. In addition, tuna oil treatment restored the diversity of gut microbiota, 27 key operational taxonomic units, which were identified using a redundancy analysis and were significantly correlated with at least one physiological index and three proteins or genes. These findings suggest that the combination of proteomics and gut microbiota is an effective strategy to gain novel insights regarding the effect of tuna oil treatment on the microbiota–gut–brain axis.

Two rapid and sensitive analytical methods are developed for the determination of D-penicillamine (D-PEN) and tiopronin (TP) through high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) and capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF). A boron-dipyrrolemethene (BODIPY) fluorescence labeling reagent, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-bromomethyl-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene (TMMB-Br) was successfully applied to derivatize these two thiol drugs. Fluorescein was used as the internal standard (IS) for the quantification of D-PEN and TP in CE-LIF. The derivatization and separation conditions were optimized carefully. Under the optimum conditions, the HPLC and CE separation of D-PEN and TP could be achieved within 12 min. The limits of detection were as low as 2.0 nmol/L for HPLC-FLD and 0.47 nmol/L for CE-LIF. The drugs in human urine and serum samples were determined successfully, and the recoveries were 95.0–06.7% and 95.2–104.3%, respectively.

Phospholipase D (PLD) is essential for the bioconversion of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to phosphatidylserine (PS), a process valuable in functional food and medicine. This study explores the stability and catalytic properties of PLD immobilized on chitosan-encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles (CMNPs), utilizing oxidized dextran (DX) and glutaraldehyde (Glu) as cross-linkers. The cross-linker concentration and immobilization time were optimized to assess their effects on PLD catalytic performance. PLD immobilized on CMNPs with DX (DX-CMNPs-PLD) exhibited optimal activity at pH 8.0 and 30 °C, retaining over 40 % activity after 14 cycles, while Glu-cross-linked PLD (Glu-CMNPs-PLD) retained approximately 65 %. DX-CMNPs-PLD demonstrated superior pH, temperature, and operational stability compared to free PLD. Additionally, the immobilized PLD was characterized using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Kinetics parameters (V max and K m ) of the immobilized PLD were also studied with free PLD serving as a control. Conformational analyses indicated a significant change in PLD's secondary structure, particularly in β-sheet content, which likely contributed to the enhanced stability and activity. These findings suggest a promising approach for PLD immobilization on CMNPs, with notable implications for biotechnological applications.

In this study, prepared silica supported sulfonic acid was used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the production of 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) from fructose based carbohydrates and the synthesis of ethyl D-glucopyranoside from glucose based carbohydrates in ethanol. EMF was obtained in a high yield of 83.8% from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) after 10 h, and a 63.1% yield was obtained from fructose at 100 °C for 24 h. Temperature experiments demonstrated that a higher reaction temperature (in the case of 120 °C) resulted in side reactions such as polymerization of HMF and alcoholysis of HMF into ethyl levulinates. When di- and poly-saccharides (sucrose and inulin) were used, the fructose moieties in sucrose and inulin were also successfully converted into EMF. However, the silica supported sulfonic acid catalyst was inert for the production of EMF from aldose based carbohydrates such as glucose and cellobiose. Ethyl D-glucopyranoside was formed in a high yield of 91.7% from glucose. More importantly, the catalyst could be reused several times without losing its catalytic activity with an average EMF yield of around 60% from a one-pot reaction of fructose. This work provides a good outlook for the conversion of carbohydrates into fine chemicals and biofuel additive.

The transformation of O 2 is primarily facilitated by the catalytic action of redox enzymes, which play a pivotal role in sustaining cellular energy metabolism and redox balance. Bioinspired by O 2 distribution and ROS regulation related to cascade biocatalytic process, a D-peptide NapG D F D F D Y engineered hydrogel has been constructed with encapsulated dual-enzyme superoxide (SOD) and chloroperoxidase (CPO) cascade catalytic circuit and co-assembled photosensitizer of 5-aminolevulinic acid molecules (ALA). Multimodal oxygen modulation has been conducted by the concurrent oxygen generation via SOD-catalyzed ⋅O 2 − dismutation and oxygen consumption for 1 O 2 production by CPO and ALA, achieving self-sustaining enzymatic dynamic therapy (EDT)-photodynamic therapy (PDT) (EDT-PDT) synergy. The endogenous cascade-amplified EDT not only enhances the 1 O 2 efficacy in exogenous PDT therapy, but the intermediate O 2 can also alleviate local neuropathic pain caused by hypoxia for safe PDT treatment. This work pioneers enzyme-mediated dynamic control of tumor redox homeostasis, establishing a new therapeutic axis between biocatalytic amplification and photodynamic processes.

In this study, we found the inhibitory effect of d -Tryptophan ( d -Trp) on the bacterial growth and spoilage potential of P. fluorescens and S. baltica . The effectiveness of d -Trp in bacterial growth inhibition was highly dependent on environmental NaCl concentrations. The growth/no growth models were developed to clarify the relationship between salt and d -Trp concentrations for optimal growth-inhibitory effect. It showed that higher levels of NaCl (>3.5%) with d -Trp (>15 mM) are required for growth inhibition. The d -Trp treatment combined with NaCl also retarded the psychrotrophic growth and reduced the respiratory active bacteria at low temperature, indicating that the inhibitory effect of d -Trp might be associated with the tolerance to osmotic and cold stress. Furthermore, the treatment d -Trp combined NaCl (artificial seawater) on salmon fillets was investigated. During refrigerated storage, the d -Trp treated salmon fillet either inoculated with S. baltica or P. fluorescen maintained remained a relatively low level of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) (below 30 mg N/100 g during 8-days storage) and delayed increase of low total viable bacteria counts (TVC) with a longer lag phase of 2 days.

Peri-implantitis, caused by bacterial biofilm on dental implants, leads to bone loss and tissue inflammation, ultimately causing oral health decline. Traditional methods to remove biofilm are ineffective in promoting reosseointegration on implant surfaces. This phenomenon can be attributed to two factors: incomplete removal of biofilm from hard-to-reach areas and alterations in the physicochemical properties of implant surfaces caused by decontamination procedures. To address this problem, we developed D-arginine-loaded chitooligosaccharide-capped pH-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Dar@MSN-COS) for improving the efficacy of decontamination of Water Jet (WJ). Dar@MSN-COS particles exhibit a targeted approach towards the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) in order to disrupt the biofilm, and possess the capability to infiltrate confined areas between implant screws. Following this, the WJ treatment effectively removed residual biofilm and demonstrated improved cleaning efficacy. Furthermore, the decontamination of the Dar@MSN-COS combination with WJ promotes effective cell cytocompatibility on the titanium surface. The results of mechanistic experiments indicate that Dar@MSN-COS may act on biofilms by releasing a significant quantity of reactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting it as a key contributing factor. In summary, our novel therapeutic protocol shows promise as an alternative solution for addressing the clinically complex aspects of peri-implantitis.

Aspergillus oryzae β-D-galactosidase (β-Gal) efficiently hydrolyzes sesaminol triglucoside into sesaminol, which has higher biological activity . However, β-Gal is difficult to be separate from the reaction mixture and limited by stability. To resolve these problems, β-Gal was immobilized on amino-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles mesoporous silica pre-activated with glutaraldehyde (Fe 3 O 4 @mSiO 2 -β-Gal), which was used for the first time to prepare sesaminol. Under the optimal conditions, the immobilization yield and recovered activity of β-Gal were 57.9 ± 0.3 % and 46.5 ± 0.9 %, and the enzymatic loading was 843 ± 21 U enzyme /g support . The construction of Fe 3 O 4 @mSiO 2 -β-Gal was confirmed by various characterization methods, and the results indicated it was suitable for heterogeneous enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Fe 3 O 4 @mSiO 2 -β-Gal was readily separable under magnetic action and displayed improved activity in extreme pH and temperature conditions. After 45 days of storage at 4 °C, the activity of Fe 3 O 4 @mSiO 2 -β-Gal remained at 92.3 ± 2.8 %, which was 1.29 times than that of free enzyme, and its activity remained above 85 % after 10 cycles. Fe 3 O 4 @mSiO 2 -β-Gal displayed higher affinity and catalytic efficiency. The half-life was 1.41 longer than free enzymes at 55.0 °C. Fe 3 O 4 @mSiO 2 -β-Gal was employed as a catalyst to prepare sesaminol, achieving a 96.7 % conversion yield of sesaminol. The excellent stability and catalytic efficiency provide broad benefits and potential for biocatalytic industry applications.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an increasing health burden worldwide. Punicalagin, a bioactive component rich in pomegranate rind, has been shown to attenuate chemical or bacteria-induced experimental colitis in mice, but whether punicalagin exerts its function through modulating gut microbiota and metabolites remains unexplored. Results: Punicalagin (100 mg per kg per day) administered orally to mice alleviated dextran-sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. Gut microbiota analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing showed that punicalagin altered gut microbiota by increasing the Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group and Bifidobacterium abundance. To evaluate the effect of punicalagin-modulated microbiota and its metabolites in colitis mice, we transplanted fecal microbiota and sterile fecal filtrate (SFF) to mice treated with oral antibiotics. The results of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) demonstrated that punicalagin's anti-colitic effect is transferable by transplanting punicalagin-modulated gut microbiota and its metabolites. Additionally, we discovered that punicalagin-modulated sterile fecal filtrate also exhibits anti-colitis effects, as evidenced by improved intestinal barrier integrity and decreased inflammation. Subsequently, fecal metabolites were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The analysis revealed that punicalagin significantly increased the level of D-ribose. In vitro experiments showed that D-ribose has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Furthermore, D-ribose significantly mitigated DSS-induced colitis symptoms in mice. Conclusions: Overall, this study demonstrated that gut microbiota and its metabolites partly mediate the protective effect of punicalagin against DSS-induced colitis in mice. D-ribose is a key metabolite that contributes to the anti-colitic effect of punicalagin in mice.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase–interacting kinases (MNKs) play a key role in the occurrence and migration of tumors and have become promising targets for tumor therapy. Nevertheless, the development progress on the MNKs inhibitors against cancer was relatively slow. In this study, compound 4s (MNK1/2 half-maximal inhibitory concentration [IC 50 ] = 987/1048 nM), a promising MNKs inhibitor was discovered based on virtual screening. After the structural optimization of compound 4s , 18 novel thiophene [2,3-D] pyrimidine–thiazole derivatives were designed and prepared, and their inhibitory effect on MNKs was determined. Among which, compound 5l exhibited the best inhibitory activity on MNKs (MNK1/2 IC 50 = 23/62 nM) and relatively high selectivity among 125 kinases. Results from in vitro experiments indicated that compound 5l could significantly inhibit the in vitro proliferation (IC 50 = 0.8 ± 0.1 μM) and migration of breast cancer cells, which demonstrated that compound 5l is a promising MNK inhibitor to treat breast cancer and need further study.

Herein, an unprecedented bimetallic bis-NHC Cp*Ir complex 1 bearing 2-arylbenzo[d]oxazolyl and NHC ligands is reported. A significant increase in activity was observed for N-methylation of amines and reduction of aldehydes with MeOH catalyzed by 1 compared to the monometallic analogues (2–11). Under the optimal conditions, it showed to be highly effective in N-methylation of nitroarenes with MeOH as both C1 and H2 source. Substrates, including aromatic amines, ketones, and nitro compounds with various functional groups, can be well-tolerated. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculation highlight the significance of bimetallic centers cooperativity.

Novel amphiphilic block copolymers consisting of hydrophobic poly(D,L-lactide) segments and hydrophilic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N, N-dimethylacrylamide) blocks were designed and synthesized through a simple free radical copolymerization route based on a bifunctional initiator, followed by the ring-opening polymerization of D,L-lactide. The copolymers self-assembled into thermosensitive spherical-nanosized core–shell micelles in aqueous solution in the presence or the absence of the model drug prednisone. The chemical and physical characterizations of drug-loaded and unloaded micelles revealed a lower critical solution temperature of 40°C–47°C, and a critical micelle concentration less than 7.20 mg L−1, a transmission electron microscope mean particle size from 50 to 75 nm, and a narrow dynamic light scattering diameter below 180 nm. The prepared blank and drug-loaded micellar nanoparticles were thermodynamically stabile and employed in targeted drug delivery by responding to the higher temperature of the local microenvironment. Based on prednisone release kinetic studies, structural changes of the self-assembled micelles as well as temperature- or environment-induced diffusion controlled drug release and improved bioavailability. The copolymer micelles exhibited good biocompatibility as established by the MTT cytotoxicity assay. Therefore, an effective target therapy against lesion tissues is feasible using these polymeric micelles.
