Here, a novel multifunctional β-cyclodextrin microporous organic network (CD-MON) has been successfully synthesized and used to remove bisphenol A (BPA) from water. The morphology and composition of the synthesized CD-MON were confirmed. The combination of hydrophobic interaction, π-π interaction inclusion mechanism and hydrogen bonding endowed CD-MON to exhibit superior adsorption capacity toward BPA. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of BPA and other four model aromatic pollutants on CD-MON were studied. CD-MON could maintain adsorption efficiency toward BPA over wide pH ranges and without being affected by the ionic strengths , co-existing inorganic ions and humic acid. The optimal conditions and removal efficiency of BPA were screened by response surface analysis . In addition, nearly unchanged in the adsorption efficiency toward BPA was observed after five regeneration cycles on CD-MON. CD-MON can adsorb about 80% of five model aromatic pollutants from the water within 40 s in the flow-through experiments. This novel adsorbent gives great promise for practical wastewater remediation.

In this work, the β-lactoglobulin/gum arabic (β-Lg-GA) complexes were prepared to encapsulate epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), forming β-Lg-GA-EGCG complex nanoparticles with an average particle size of 133 nm. The β-Lg-GA complexes exhibited excellent encapsulation efficiency (84.5%), and the antioxidant performance of EGCG in vitro was improved after encapsulation. It was recorded that 86% of EGCG could be released in simulated intestinal fluid after 3 h of digestion, much faster than that in simulated gastric fluid, indicating that the β-Lg-GA complexes were effective in enhancing EGCG stability, which was confirmed using SDS-PAGE and SEM. Further spectrum results demonstrated that various intramolecular interactions including electrostatic, hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions contribute to the formation of β-Lg-GA-EGCG complex nanoparticles. Also, XRD experiments indicated that EGCG was successfully encapsulated by β-Lg-GA complexes. Therefore, the β-Lg-GA complexes hold great potentials in the protective delivery of sensitive bioactives.

The influence of intercalated anions on the structure and composition of green rusts supplies a theoretical possibility for the investigation of the structural modification of Fe II /Fe III (oxyhydr)oxide materials. β-Cyclodextrin was intercalated into the mixed-valent iron-based hydroxide layers to synthesize new green rust materials (β-CD GRs), pursuing high-capacity uranium VI (U VI ) sorption . The molar ratios of Fe II to Fe III and the molar ratios of β-CD GR to Fe II + Fe III had a significant effect on the synthesis of β-CD GRs. The synthesis process was further optimized by the quadric predictor and desirability function in a central composite design in combination. Both strong acidity and alkalinity were harmful to the adsorption of β-CD GRs towards U VI . The pseudo-first-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model were appropriate in fitting the whole adsorption process. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of β-CD GRs was 2548.61 mg/g. The presence of mimic groundwater constituents explicitly deteriorated the interaction between β-CD GR and U VI species. Nanoscale nodules and particles were formed on the β-CD GR after the adsorption experiments. The peaks at 1159 and 609 cm −1 vanished with the band at 1103 cm −1 being left-shifted to 1117 cm −1 in the FTIR spectra of β-CD GR during the heterogeneous process. The intercalation of β-CD brought obvious enhancement of U VI species sorption to the GR material, which was combinedly driven by several reaction pathways and different from the unmodified GRs.

Improving solubility and administration route of isoflavone formononetin (FMN) are critical factors to improve its bioavailability in the oral cavity. This study fabricated fast-dissolving nanofibers containing FMN/methyl- β -cyclodextrin (FMN/Me- β -CD) inclusion complex. The solubility of FMN could be increased by approximately 50 times at 20 mM aqueous Me- β -CD. Interactions and thermodynamic parameters of the host-guest inclusion complex were studied by a fluorescence quenching method. The structure and mechanisms of the complex were further studied by molecular docking and molecular dynamics. Finally, polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) nanofibrous webs containing the FMN/Me- β -CD inclusion complex were fabricated by electrospinning. The dissolution test demonstrated that the FMN/Me- β -CD/PVA nanofibers can be dissolved in artificial saliva within approximately 2 s. This study shows the potential of Me- β -CD inclusion and electrospinning to improve solubility and administration route of isoflavones.

There is a need to understand the ultrasound-induced changes in the interactions between proteins and phenolic compounds at different pH. This study systematically explored the role of high-intensity ultrasound pre-treatment on the binding mechanisms of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) to two common phenolic compounds, i.e. , (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and chlorogenic acid (CA) at neutral and acidic pH (pH 7.2 and 2.4). Tryptophan fluorescence revealed that compared to proteins sonicated at 20% and 50% amplitudes, 35%-amplitude ultrasound pre-treatment (ULG-35) strengthened the binding affinities of EGCG/CA to β-LG without altering the main interaction force. After phenolic addition, ULG-35 displayed a similar but a greater extent of protein secondary and tertiary structural changes than the native protein, ascribed to the ultrasound-driven hydrophobic stacking among interacted molecules. The dominant form of β-LG (dimer/monomer) played a crucial role in the conformational and interfacial properties of complexes, which can be explained by the distinct binding sites at different pH as unveiled by molecular docking. Combining pre-ultrasound with EGCG interaction notably increased the foaming and emulsifying properties of β-LG, providing a feasible way for the modification of bovine whey proteins. These results shed light on the understanding of protein–phenolic non-covalent binding under ultrasound and help to develop complex systems with desired functionality and delivery.

A series of novel synthetic substituted benzo[d]oxazole-based derivatives (5a–5v) exerted neuroprotective effects on β-amyloid (Aβ)-induced PC12 cells as a potential approach for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In vitro studies show that most of the synthesized compounds were potent in reducing the neurotoxicity of Aβ25-35-induced PC12 cells at 5 μg/mL. We found that compound5cwas non-neurotoxic at 30 μg/mL and significantly increased the viability of Aβ25-35-induced PC12 cells at 1.25, 2.5 and 5 μg/mL. Western blot analysis showed that compound5cpromoted the phosphorylation of Akt and glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3β) and decreased the expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in Aβ25-35-induced PC12 cells. In addition, our findings demonstrated that compound5cprotected PC12 cells from Aβ25-35-induced apoptosis and reduced the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, and decreased the expression of receptor for AGE (RAGE), β-site amyloid precursor protein (APP)-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and Bcl-2-associated X protein/B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bax/Bcl-2) via Akt/GSK-3β/NF-κB signaling pathway. In vivo studies suggest that compound5cshows less toxicity than donepezil in the heart and nervous system of zebrafish.Keywords:synthesis;benzo[d]oxazol;thiadiazoles;Alzheimer’s disease;β-amyloid;Akt/GSK-3β/NF-κB signaling pathway

Controlling the filtration of water-based drilling fluid effectively in high temperature environment is a great challenge in drilling engineering. In this study, β-cyclodextrin polymer microspheres (β-CDPMs) were synthesized by crosslinking between β-cyclodextrin and epichlorohydrin via inverse emulsion polymerization and employed as filtration reducers. The standard American Petroleum Institute filtration test showed that the β-CDPMs can only perform the enhanced filtration control ability at temperatures above 160 °C, and can tolerate the temperature resistance up to 240 °C without significant influence of rheology. As the thermal aging temperature is above 160 °C, numerous nano carbon spheres and nanostructured composites generated due to the occurrence of hydrothermal reaction. These high temperature stable nanoparticles bridged across the nano sized gaps and participated into forming dense filter cake, contributing to excellent filtration control. The filtration control mechanism proposed in this study opened a novel avenue for high temperature filtration control in water-based drilling fluids.

In this study, the nanocables were prepared by the supramolecular self-assembly interaction between polyaniline (PANI) and linear carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin polymer functionalized carbon nanotubes (L-CM-β-CD-P-CNTs). Its morphological, thermal, structural, and electrochemical properties were analyzed by using different instrumental techniques. As expected, the PANI/L-CM-β-CD-P-CNTs supramolecular nanocables exhibited excellent electrochemical performance and cycling stability. More importantly, the specific capacitance (SC) values for PANI/L-CM-β-CD-P-CNTs reached 996 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 . In addition, the PANI/L-CM-β-CD-P-CNTs supramolecular nanocables exhibited 90 % capacitance retention after 15,000 charge-discharge cycles.

The current study reports the utilization of MIL-100(Fe) as Pickering emulsifiers to stabilize CO 2 -in-water high internal phase emulsions, thereby synthesizing interconnected macroporous hybrid monoliths with adjustable pore sizes. During such a green synthesis procedure, the influences of Fe-MOF type and content, carbon dioxide density, and the amount of crosslinker have been explored respectively. The as-synthesized MOF-containing poly(HIPE)s were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, CLSM, and TGA. The morphology of the monoliths was mainly observed by EDS-mapping and SEM, which showed that Fe-MOFs were uniformly distributed into the monolithic matrix and the void sizes and interconnected pore sizes were 20 to 150 μm and 5 to 50 μm, respectively. Furthermore, the MIL-100(Fe)-containing monoliths exhibited an excellent elasticity and can quickly return to their original state when reaching up to 90% compressive strain without failing. To evaluate the adsorptive properties of the composite monoliths, the immobilization of β-amylase on the obtained monoliths was studied. The results of immobilized enzymes showed that the highest protein adsorption rate can reach 55% and the immobilization efficiency can reach 89%. Since our synthetic route is clean and controllable, biocompatible monoliths with good elasticity and toughness were prepared, which presents a viable strategy to produce hybrid monoliths for bio-medical applications.

A metallo-supramolecular polymer poly{4-(((3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)(6-oxidodibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaphosphinin-6-yl)methyl)amino)phenyl-2,2-dimethylbutanoate} (HP) is synthesized through a Kabachnik–Fields reaction. Then HP is coated on the surface of β-FeOOH by coordination interaction to generate organic–inorganic hybrid β-FeOOH@HP (Fe@P) nanorods, which are used for preparing flame retardant epoxy resin (EP) nanocomposites. The structure of HP is characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the morphology and composition of β-FeOOH and Fe@P nanorods are also studied by scanning electron micrograph and transmission electron microscope instruments. With the presence of 2 wt% of Fe@P, the limiting oxygen index value of EP nanocomposite increased to 32.8% with UL-94 vertical burning V-1 rating, and 31.4% of flexural strength enhancement, indicating the improvement of both flame retardant and mechanical properties with low loading amount. The reduction of total smoke production, average CO and CO 2 yield for EP nanocomposites with 0.5 wt% of Fe@P reflected the good smoke suppression. The flame retardant mechanism of Fe@P is also discussed.

In order to construct tighter heterostructures , a novel Z-scheme β-Bi 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 composite (xBC) was synthesized by in-situ growth method. The crystal phase, morphology, chemical composition, optical and photoelectrochemical properties of the composites were investigated by XRD , FT-IR, SEM, TEM, XPS, UV–vis DRS , EIS , etc. The characterizations verified that β-Bi 2 O 3 nanosheets grew uniformly on the surface of g-C 3 N 4 . Meanwhile, the photocatalytic performance of xBC composites were also evaluated by degrading Rhodamine B (RhB) and p -Nitrophenol (PNP) under visible-light irradiation. As a result, 0.5BC exhibited the most superior performance, the removal efficiencies reached 71.6% for PNP in 300min and 94.8% for RhB in 120 min, with a rate constant (0.0233min −1 ) of 7.1 and 5.8 times than that of g-C 3 N 4 and β-Bi 2 O 3 , respectively. Evidences that Z-scheme carries transfer path were strongly confirmed by XPS, PL and reactive species analysis.

β -cyclodextrin-functionalized porous
Pd@Au nanostructures ( β -CD-Pd@Au) with intrinsic
and enhanced peroxidase-like activity were successfully synthesized by a two-step
method. The synthesized β -CD-Pd@Au can
efficiently catalyze the oxidation of various substrates, such as
3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), mixture of 4-amino antipyrine (4-AAP) and
3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy acid sodium (DHBS) (4-AAP/DHBS), and mixture of 4-AAP and
N-Ethyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-methyl-aniline sodium salt (TOPS) (4-AAP/TOPS), by
H 2 O 2 to generate visual blue,
purple, and pink color, respectively. The UV-vis absorbance peak of the three β -CD-Pd@Au catalyzed the chromogenic reaction
system located at 650 nm, 510 nm, and 550 nm, respectively. The β -CD-Pd@Au-catalyzed
TMB-H 2 O 2 chromogenic reaction
exhibited higher absorbance intensity, catalytic efficiency, and color stability in
comparison to 4-AAP/DHBS-H 2 O 2 and
4-AAP/TOPS-H 2 O 2 chromogenic
reactions. The catalytic activity of β -CD-Pd@Au
was enhanced about 4-fold compared to that of Pd@Au in terms of
K cat for
H 2 O 2 . Using TMB as chromogenic
substrate, a colorimetric assay was fabricated for the determination of
H 2 O 2 with a detection limit of
2.78 μM (absorbance at 650 nm). The colorimetric determination of glucose with a
detection limit of 9.28 μM was further achieved by coupling with glucose oxidase
enzymatic reaction, indicating the versatility of the β -CD-Pd@Au-based detection strategy. A paper-based detection method
coupled with smartphone for fast visual and instrument-free detection of glucose was
further developed. Finally, the developed colorimetric assay and paper-based
detection method were successfully applied to the determination of glucose in human
serum sample.
