Scutellaria Radix (SR) is often added to various preparations for the treatment of oral ulcer, but its own efficacy and active compounds are still unknown while topically administration for oral ulcer, bring obstacles in further research. We expected to demonstrate the anti-oral ulcer effect of SR and find out its hallmark compounds, so as to provide reference for its material basis research. In this study, in vivo and in vitro models were used to prove the efficacy of SR, and spectrum-effect analysis was used to figure out the active compounds. In oral ulcer rats, SR significantly reduced TNF-α and IL-8 level, raised IL-2 level in both serum and mucosa, enhanced SOD activity and decreased MDA level of serum, reduced inflammatory reaction and showed good therapeutic effect. As for in vitro models, SR increased the survival rates of H 2 O 2 damaged HOK, inhibited the release of IL-1β and NO of LPS induced HOK and LPS induced RAW 264.7, demonstrating good efficacy on oral ulcer. Subsequently, fingerprints and cellular pharmacodynamic data for 18 batches of SR were acquired, and spectrum-effect analysis were carried out by grey correlation analysis (GRA), partial least squares regression (PLSR) and “spider-web” mode. Five potential compounds were screened out and validated by comparing with SR activity, and baicalin, baicalein, and wogonoside were finally identified as active compounds of SR. These results explained the material basis of SR in treating oral ulcer and provided a scientific evidence for the clinical application of SR in oral administration.

Diabetic skin disorders are lingering and refractory clinical diseases. In this study, a genipin-crosslinked porous chitosan fiber (CSF) hydrogel was fabricated to achieve rapid wound healing. By embedding clemastine fumarate (CF) in the CSF hydrogel pores, we synthesised a CSF/CF hydrogel for the treatment of diabetic wounds. The microstructure, chemical elements, spectral variation, mechanical properties, swelling ratios, degradability, and toxicity of the CSF/CF hydrogels were studied. Compared with the typical CS power hydrogel, the porous CSF hydrogel crosslinked with genipin possesses a stable structure and improved physicochemical properties. Moreover, CF was slowly released from the CSF hydrogel. Molecular simulation also showed that CF was evenly embedded inside the cavity formed by the novel CSF hydrogel. The results suggested that CF can resist damage from high glucose levels and promote proliferation, tube formation, and migration of endothelial cells (ECs) and fibroblasts. The CSF/CF hydrogel promoted wound healing in a rat model. Mechanistically, the beneficial effect of CF on wound healing may be related to activation of the MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt signalling pathways. In conclusion, genipin-crosslinked CSF/CF hydrogel can accelerate wound healing and may be an effective therapeutic method for treating diabetic skin lesions.

Luminescent lanthanum hydroxycarbonates (LaCO 3 OH) have received considerable attention because of their excellent photocatalytic activities . The luminescent properties of the LaCO 3 OH are closely related to their morphology and crystallization, but phosphorescent LaCO 3 OH has not yet been observed. Herein, the LaCO 3 OH core-satellite superstructures (LaCO 3 OH-CSSs), which consist of a porous structure as a core and urchin-like structures as the satellites, are prepared using a simple hydrothermal method . The proposed LaCO 3 OH-CSSs have strong solid-state luminescence and highly effective solution room-temperature phosphorescence with a lifetime of 163.5 ms. Combination with the advantages of both porous structure and slow charge recombination, the LaCO 3 OH-CSSs show superior photocatalytic activities, which can be used for highly efficient photodegradation of model rhodamine 6G (R6G) dyes. The R6G dyes can be completely degraded within 5 min under low-power white light (21 W) irradiation. The highly efficient photocatalytic activity suggests that phosphorescent LaCO 3 OH-CSSs can be well used for the treatment of water pollution.

Science the biological activities of chiral enantiomers are often different or even opposite, their chiral recognition is of great significance. A new assembly structure named TCPP-Zn-(S)-BINOL was obtained based on the interaction between chiral binaphthol (BINOL) and the porphyrin-based MOF structure formed by Meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (TCPP) and Zn2+, and a new chiral sensor was designed relying on TCPP-Zn-(S)-BINOL. The chiral platform was designed by using binaphthol as a chiral recognizer and the porphyrin MOF as an emitter, which can recognize tyrosine (Tyr) enantiomers via the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) method. According to density functional theory (DFT), TCPP-Zn-(S)-BINOL has a different affinity with L/D-Tyr due to the different strength of the hydrogen bond between chiral ligand BINOL and the tyrosine (Tyr) enantiomer. It will be more suitable for combination with L-Tyr, and the presence of L-Tyr will increase the ECL intensity of the modified electrode via the catalytic reduction of co-reactant reagents, achieving the purpose of the chiral recognition of Tyr enantiomers. These findings show that TCPP-Zn-(S)-BINOL can be used as an advanced ECL chiral recognition platform for biomedical applications.Keywords:chiral recognition;electrochemiluminescence;meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine;metal–organic framework

A disposable and portable electrochemical sensor was fabricated by integrating vertically-ordered silica mesoporous films (VMSF) and electrochemically reduced graphene (ErGO) on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Such VMSF/ErGO/SPCEs could be prepared by a simple and controllable electrochemical method. Stable growth of VMSF on SPCE could be accomplished by the introduction of an adhesive ErGO nanolayer owing to its oxygen-containing groups and two-dimensional (2D) planar structure. An outer VMSF layer acting as a protective coating is able to prevent the leakage of the inner ErGO layer from the SPCE surface. Thanks to the electrostatic permselectivity and anti-fouling capacity of VMSF and to the good electroactive activity of ErGO, binary nanocomposites of VMSF and ErGO endow the SPCE with excellent analytical performance, which could be used to quantitatively detect doxorubicin (DOX) in biological samples (human serum and urine) with high sensitivity, good long-term stability, and low sample amounts.Keywords:silica nanochannel array;electrochemically reduced graphene oxide;screen-printed carbon electrode;doxorubicin;electrochemical sensor

Naphthol hydrazone derivatives are recognized as efficient chelating agents for both qualitative and quantitative detection of metal ions. Here we design a naphthol hydrazine-based chemosensor with covalently linking a strong electron-withdrawing benzothiadiazole group to modulate the molecular electronic structure, nominated as NtHzBtd . The fluorescent probe performs excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards Fe 3+ with 1:1 binding stoichiometry, while exhibiting a quick response at 55 s with a relatively low limit of detection of 0.036 µM. A series of spectroscopic measurements in tandem with theoretical calculations suggest that the probe undergoes both intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and chelation enhanced quenching (CHEQ) processes. Successful color rendering of paper strips and bioimaging in PC3 cells demonstrate the promising applicability of NtHzBtd for portable Fe 3+ detection in real samples and biosystems.

SIRT1 functions by regulating the modification of proteins or interacting with other proteins to form complexes. It has been widely studied and found to play significant roles in various biological processes and diseases. However, systematic studies on activated-SIRT1 interactions remain limited. Here, we present a comprehensive SIRT1 interactome under resveratrol stimulation through proximity labeling methods. Our results demonstrated that RanGap1 interacted with SIRT1 in HEK 293T cells and MCF-7 cells. SIRT1 regulated the protein level of RanGap1 and had no obvious effect on RanGap1 transcription. Moreover, the overexpression of Rangap1 increased the ROS level in MCF-7 cells, which sensitized cells to resveratrol and reduced the cell viability. These findings provide evidence that RanGap1 interacts with SIRT1 and influences intracellular ROS, critical signals for mitochondrial functions, cell proliferation and transcription. Additionally, we identified that the SIRT1-RanGap1 interaction affects downstream signals induced by ROS. Overall, our study provides an essential resource for future studies on the interactions of resveratrol-activated SIRT1. There are conflicts about the relationship between resveratrol and ROS in previous reports. However, our data identified the impact of the resveratrol-SIRT1-RanGap1 axis on intracellular ROS.Keywords:SIRT1;resveratrol;proximity labeling;RanGap1;ROS

Sulfur bonds, especially trisulfide bond, have been found to ameliorate the self-assembly stability of homodimeric prodrug nanoassemblies and could trigger the sensitive reduction-responsive release of active drugs. However, the antitumor efficacy of homodimeric prodrug nanoassemblies with single reduction-responsivity may be restricted due to the heterogeneous tumor redox microenvironment. Herein, we replace the middle sulfur atom of trisulfide bond with an oxidizing tellurium atom or selenium atom to construct redox dual-responsive sulfur-tellurium-sulfur and sulfur-selenium-sulfur hybrid chalcogen bonds. The hybrid chalcogen bonds, especially the sulfur-tellurium-sulfur bond, exhibit ultrahigh dual-responsivity to both oxidation and reduction conditions, which could effectively address the heterogeneous tumor microenvironment. Moreover, the hybrid sulfur-tellurium-sulfur bond promotes the self-assembly of homodimeric prodrugs by providing strong intermolecular forces and sufficient steric hindrance. The above advantages of sulfur-tellurium-sulfur bridged homodimeric prodrug nanoassemblies result in the improved antitumor efficacy of docetaxel with satisfactory safety. The exploration of hybrid chalcogen bonds in drug delivery deepened insight into the development of prodrug-based chemotherapy to address tumor redox heterogeneity, thus enriching the design theory of prodrug-based nanomedicines.

Cancer chemotherapy is often accompanied by severe off-target effects that both damage quality of life and can decrease therapeutic compliance. This could be minimized through selective delivery of cytotoxic agents directly to the cancer cells. This would decrease the drug dose, consequently minimizing side effects and cost. With this goal in mind, a dual-gated folate-functionalized nanodiamond drug delivery system (NPFSSD) for doxorubicin with activatable fluorescence and cytotoxicity has been prepared. Both the cytotoxic activity and the fluorescence of doxorubicin (DOX) are quenched when it is covalently immobilized on the nanodiamond. The NPFSSD is preferentially uptaken by cancer cells overexpressing the folate receptor. Then, once inside a cell, the drug is preferentially released within tumor cells due to their high levels of endogenous of glutathione , required for releasing DOX through cleavage of a disulfide linker. Interestingly, once free DOX is loaded onto the nanodiamond, it can also evade resistance mechanisms that use protein pumps to remove drugs from the cytoplasm. This nanodrug, used in an in vivo model with local injection of drugs, effectively inhibits tumor growth with fewer side effects than direct injection of free DOX, providing a potentially powerful platform to improve therapeutic outcomes.

The emergence of X-ray-induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) holds tremendous promise for clinical deep-penetrating cancer therapy. However, the clinical application of X-PDT in cancer treatment is still limited due to the hypoxic property of cancerous tissue, the inherent antioxidant system of tumor cells, and the difficulty in matching the absorption spectra of photosensitizers. Herein, a versatile core–shell radiosensitizer (SCNPs@DMSN@CeOx-PEG, denoted as SSCP) was elaborately designed and constructed to enhance X-PDT by coating tunable mesoporous silica on nanoscintillators, followed by embedding the cerium oxide nanoparticles in situ. The obtained SSCP radiosensitizer demonstrated a distinct blue-shift in the ultraviolet light region, so that it could perfectly absorb the ultraviolet light converted by the SCNPs core, resulting in the formation of photoinduced electron–hole (e–-h+) pairs separation to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, the cerium oxide exhibits high glutathione consumption to heighten ROS accumulation, and catalase-like activity to alleviate the hypoxia, which further enhances the efficiency of radiotherapy. Benefiting from the abundant Lu and Ce elements, the computed tomography imaging performance of SSCP is about 3.79-fold that of the clinical contrast agent (iohexol), which has great potential in both preclinical imaging and clinical translation.

The real-time measurement of optical activity is of great significance for studying the chemical reactions of chiral molecules. In this study, we have built a set of linear common path optical weak measurement chiral sensor system in frequency domain, and the optical sensitivity of the system feasibly reaches 1524 for activity. Using this system, we have realized the state measurement of the ultrafast alkaline hydrolysis reaction of gluconolactone under different concentrations of catalyst. This study shows that the optical weak measurement chiral sensor can well monitor and compare the degree of hydrolysis reaction, and partly reflect the approximate change of the optical rotation in the real-time process of hydrolysis. Optical weak measurement chiral sensing does not require separation and labeling molecules, and has great application potential for the production and development of chiral compounds, especially chiral drugs.

A highly efficient electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) aptasensor was constructed for ultrasensitive detection of diethylstilbestrol (DES). The composite composed of silver orthophosphate and zirconium-based metal–organic frameworks (Ag 3 PO 4 -UiO-66) was prepared as a sensing platform for aptasensor incubation. Ag 3 PO 4 , a novel ECL donor, whose emission could be obviously enhanced through loading on UiO-66. Particularly, the composite of Ag 3 PO 4 -UiO-66 could minimize the aggregation of Ag 3 PO 4 , which provided a novel possibility for the construction of high ECL efficiency sensors. UiO-66 presented ultrahigh surface area to improve the loading capacity of Ag 3 PO 4 and DES-specific aptamer. Notably, Ag 3 PO 4 with superb catalytic properties could immobilize DES aptamer via Ag–NH 2 bond and further ensured the distance between the ECL donor and the energy receptor. To design a novel ECL-RET system, GO nanosheets were synthesized as a suitable ECL acceptor which could be fixed through electrostatic adsorption. Owing to the superior spectral overlap, GO could significantly quench the ECL emission of Ag 3 PO 4 . Under the optimal conditions, the constructed ECL-RET aptasensor showed a satisfactory response to DES in a linear range of 1.0 × 10 −14 ∼ 1.0 × 10 −8 M and the detection limit was 7.2 × 10 −15 M (S/N = 3). This paper not only developed a novel approach for environmental water quality monitoring but also offered more opportunities for building highly sensitive ECL-RET aptasensors.
