Herein, the fabrication of a fascinating multifunctional cyclodextrin (CD) chiral stationary phase and its chiral separation performance in capillary electrochromatography are proposed. A facile interfacial polymerization was used to anchor ethanediamine-β-cyclodextrin (EDA-β-CD) polymerized with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) and to form the chiral stationary phase (CSP) composite onto the surface wall of the capillary. The characters of prepared columns were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). This novel CSP offers multi-typical interactions including hydrogen bonding, π-interaction, hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction as well as steric effects which contribute to prominent chiral recognition for Dansyl-DL-amino acids in CEC modes. The EDA-β-CD modified column showed eminent enantioseparation performance towards five Dansyl-DL-amino acids (the DL-forms of valine, threonine, leucine, phenylalanine, serine). Besides, the prepared columns were perfectly reproducible and stable. The relative standard deviations of the enantiomer retention times for intra-day (n = 5), inter-day (n = 3) runs and column-to-columns (n = 3) are below 0.54%, 1.35% and 4.89%, individually. This innovative chiral stationary phase shows a broader application view and scope in chiral recognition domain.

A fluorescent sensor Hn based on β-diketone derivative for Th 4+ ions was designed and investigated, which showed high selectivity in the present of other metal ions even UO 2 2+ in CH 3 OH:H 2 O (v/v = 2:8, pH = 7.2) solution. Meanwhile, the binding mode of the sensor Hn with Th 4+ ions was found to be 1:1 with association constant of 2.46 × 10 4 M −1 . And there was linear relationship between the fluorescent intensity of Hn -Th 4+ and the concentration of Th 4+ ions covering a range of 0.06 μM–1.0 μM and the detection limit was 0.0344 μM. At the same time, the interaction properties between the sensor Hn and Th 4+ ions and the fluorescent mechanism were investigated by IR, 1 HNMR and DFT. Most importantly, this fluorescent sensor was successfully utilized for the fluorescent imaging of Th 4+ ions in living cells.

At present, the large scale application of batch foam fractionation is still in confrontation with many problems and difficulties, especially for the enrichment of non-surface-active materials. It is difficult to select a suitable surfactant as the collector when a non-surface-active material can only form a stable association with the expensive surfactants or has not any interactions with the commercially available surfactants. The objective of this work was to investigate the feasibility of batch foam fractionation for recovering such a non-surface-active material, puerarin. Yam mucilage, an abundant byproduct from the manufacture of yam starch, was used to generate a stable foam phase based on its good foamability. According to the properties of puerarin and yam mucilage, β -cyclodextrin ( β -CD) was selected as a basic material to establish an association between them. The results of fluorescence sensitization experiments indicated that puerarin could form an equimolar inclusion complex with β -CD and the inclusion constant was 405.8. Subsequently, β -CD was modified by introducing carbon disulfide and copper (Cu) ion. Then, puerarin could be adsorbed on the gas-liquid interface in the form of ternary complex with modified β -CD-Cu ion complex and glycoprotein molecules (see Fig. 7). Batch foam fractionation was carried out by using the crude extracting solution as the initial feeding solution, in which the concentration of puerarin was as high as 4.6 g/L. Under the suitable conditions of temperature 50 °C, pH 6.0, loading volume of feed solution 400 mL, the pore diameter of gas distributor 0.450 mm, additive volume of yam mucilage 30 mL and volumetric air flow rate 100 mL/min, the enrichment ratio and the percent recovery of puerarin were 4.3 and 82.3%, respectively. This strategy could be generalized to the separation of various non-surface-active materials due to the low cost and the diversiform cavity dimension of cyclodextrins.

A simple, accurate and highly sensitive multiresidues method was developed for the determination of 9 anabolic steroids and 16 β-agonists in milk. Target compounds were extracted and separated by a modified QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, Safe) method with Primary secondary amine (PSA) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles as adsorbents. The analytes were determined by ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to an electro-spray ionization tandem mass spectrometer (UHPLC–MS/MS) operating in negative/positive multiple reaction monitoring mode. The effect of QuEChERS including organic solvent, amount of ZnO nanoparticle was evaluated. Good linearity was obtained for the analytes in the concentration range of 0.1–200 μg/L with a correlation coefficients higher than 0.994. Decision limits (CCα) was from 0.007 μg/kg–0.1 μg/kg, and detection capabilities (CCβ) was in the range of 0.02–0.4 μg/kg. The recoveries of these compounds were between 63% and 126% at three fortified levels. Reproducibility represented by RSD was with 10% or less. The method was successfully applied to screening of real milk samples obtained from local markets and confirmation of the suspected target analytes.

In late-stage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), impaired islet β cell function leads to absolute insulin deficiency, thereby disrupting blood glucose homeostasis. GLP-1, an incretin hormone, stimulates insulin secretion from islet β cells post-meals. This study investigated the effects of anthocyanin cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) on GLP-1 secretion using STC-1 (intestinal endocrine L cells) and NIT-1 (islet β cells). In a co-culture system, C3G treatment increased GLP-1 secretion in STC-1 cells, promoting insulin release in NIT-1 cells under high glucose. Mechanistically, C3G activated the PPARβ/δ-β-catenin-TCF-4 pathway in STC-1 cells, enhancing PG precursor transcription and GLP-1 synthesis.Inhibiting PPARβ/δ with GSK0660 blocked this C3G-induced upregulation. Overall, C3G stimulates GLP-1 secretion from intestinal L cells via this pathway, indirectly boosting insulin release from β cells. These findings enhance T2DM mechanism understanding and suggest the potential of C3G in GLP-1-based T2DM therapy.

Amine group-bearing small molecules tend to adsorb onto the nanochannel surfaces, which degrades the efficiency of nanochannel sensors. In this study, we utilized host-guest knowledge to eliminate the influence of excessive small molecules. In combination with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) provided an excellent sensing performance for the conical nanochannel coated with polyethyleneimine (PEI) and zirconium ion (Zr 4+ ). By taking detection of melamine as a prototype, the as-prepared nanochannel could selectively detect melamine-elicited double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Both excessive melamine and single-stranded DNA were removed via the addition of β-CD and SWNTs. The nanochannel sensing platform for the detection of melamine has a detection limit of as low as 4.3 nM with a suitable sensitivity, an excellent reproducibility and stability. Therefore, it is highly promising that a nanochannel sensor based on ion current rectification (ICR) can be used to detect other possible targets.

Multifunctional nanoparticles which integrate the therapeutic agents and bio-imaging agents into one carrier are emerging as a promising therapeutic platform. Herein, GaOOH:Cr 3+ was firstly synthesized using improved hydrothermal method (atmospheric pressure, 95 °C), and by manipulating the pH of the reaction medium, GaOOH:Cr 3+ with different sizes (125.70 nm, 200.60 nm and 313.90 nm) were synthesized. Then β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ nanoparticles with porous structures were developed as a result of the calcination of GaOOH:Cr 3+ . The fabricated, porous β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ nanoparticles could effectively absorb doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) (loading rate: 8% approximately) and had near infrared photoluminescence with a 695 nm emission. Furthermore, β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ nanoparticles were coated with l -Cys modified hyaluronic acid (HA-Cys) by exploiting the electrostatic interaction and the cross-link effect of disulfide bond to improve the stability. The DOX loaded HA-Cys coated β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ nanoparticles (HA/β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ /DOX) showed an oxidation–reduction sensitive drug release behavior. The HA-Cys coated β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ nanoparticles showed a low cytotoxicity on MCF-7 and Hela cell lines. The cellular uptake of HA/β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ /DOX using the near infrared photoluminescence of β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ nanoparticles and the fluorescence of DOX demonstrated the HA/β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ /DOX could internalize into tumor cells quickly, which was affected by the size and shape of β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ nanoparticles.

The water absorption property of the coated separator directly affects the electrochemical performance of a Lithium-ion battery. For the water-based coated separator, the water absorption is directly dependent on the binder and ceramic components. In this work, β-cyclodextrin is chosen as the binder, and its hydrophilicity is regulated by chemical oxidation, while titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is used as the ceramic component. It is found that the water absorption of the coated separator using modified β-cyclodextrin is lower than that of commercial aqueous binders such as PVA. In addition, the Li-ion battery assembled with the coated separator shows better discharge capacity retention. At 8 C rate discharge, the discharge capacity of the battery using coated separator is measured at 123 mAhg − 1 , and the capacity retention is up to 88%. This work provides a new idea to modify the water-based coated separator with reduced water absorption in the storage stage.

We herein report the oxidative C–C coupling of ketones and primary alcohols to produce α,β-unsaturated ketones in the absence of base additives. This cascade synthetic reaction was conducted at 150 °C in 12 h using a heterogeneous CeO2 catalyst. The conversion of acetophenone reached 74% with 89% selectivity to chalcone. A correlation between the CeO2 crystal plane and catalytic performance is established as the catalytic activities decrease in the sequence of (110) > (111) > (100). Characterization using Raman spectroscopy, CO2 temperature-programmed desorption (CO2-TPD), and in situ active site-capping tests has shown that the unusual catalysis of the CeO2 catalyst is attributed to the coexistence of basic and redox active sites. These sites synergistically catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and the aldol condensation to ketones. Moreover, the CeO2 catalyst can be reused several times after calcination to remove the surface-adsorbed substances.

A one-pot synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters from unactivated esters and aldehydes using strong bases, such as sodium alkoxide and potassium tert-butoxide, was reported. However, the ionic liquid (IL) catalyzed probase method for producing α,β-unsaturated esters was not reported until now. In this work, a series of ILs with fluoride anions were firstly prepared and used as catalysts in combination with the probase N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl) acetamide (BSA) for the α,β-unsaturated esters synthesis. This process could also be promoted through the introduction of another IL with Lewis acid sites. The yield and selectivity of the product could reach up to 84.2% and 95.0%, respectively, when [Bmim]F was used in combination with [Bmim]Cl/AlCl3 (the molar fraction of AlCl3 is 0.67). The mechanism investigation through GC-MS indicates that BSA would convert into onium amide, which acted as a strong base for α-H abstraction, with the catalysis of [Bmim]F. Meanwhile, [Bmim]Cl/AlCl3 played an important role in the condensation step between enolates and aldehydes. On the basis of mechanism insights, kinetic and thermodynamic studies were also carried out for a better understanding of this new route.

Six ternary lanthanide complexes with different β-diketones as primary “antenna” ligand and 2,2’:6’,2’’-terpyridine as neutral ancillary ligand, namely [Ln(hfac) 3 (tpy)] [Ln(III) = Eu ( 1 ), Gd ( 2 ), Tb ( 3 ); hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone; tpy = 2,2’:6’,2’’-terpyridine] and [Ln(btfa) 3 (tpy)] [Ln(III) = Eu ( 4 ), Gd ( 5 ), Tb ( 6 ); btfa = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione], were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction. The three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface map and two-dimensional fingerprint analysis reveal that the substitution of hfac with btfa result in the decrease of the H···F/F···H and F···F interactions and the increase of the C···H/H···C and H···H interactions. Solid-state luminescence investigations indicate that the Eu(III) complexes ( 1 -Eu and 4 -Eu) and the Tb(III) complexes ( 3 -Tb and 6 -Tb ) display the characteristic lanthanide-centered luminescence upon UV excitations. 1 -Eu and 4 -Eu emit red light at CIE: 0.6827, 0.3172 and CIE: 0.6819, 0.3179 with the quantum yields (QY) of 78.70 % and 68.85 % and the lifetimes ( τ ) of 0.768 and 0.808 ms, respectively. 3-Tb and 6-Tb emit green light at CIE: 0.2677, 0.7221 and CIE: 0.2680, 0.7217 with the QY values of 7.56 % and 1.38 % and the τ values of 0.076 and 0.022 ms, respectively. For the Eu(III) complexes, the substitution of hfac by btfa makes the QY value lower from 78.70 % to 68.85 % and slightly prolong the τ value from 0.768 to 0.808 ms, while for the Tb(III) complexes, both of the QY and τ values decrease. The results suggest that the structures of the primary β-diketone ligands could affect the luminescence performances such as QY and τ values of the Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes.

Dopamine D 2 receptor (D 2 R) has been shown to activate extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) via distinct pathways dependent on either G-protein or β-arrestin. However, there has not been a systematic study of the regulatory process of D 2 R-mediated ERKs activation by G protein- versus β-arrestin-dependent signaling since D 2 R stimulation of ERKs reflects the simultaneous action of both pathways. Here, we investigated that differential regulation of D 2 R-mediated ERKs activation via these two pathways. Our results showed that G protein-dependent ERKs activation was transient, rapid, reached maximum level at around 2 min, and importantly, the activated ERKs were entirely confined to the cytoplasm. In contrast, β-arrestin-dependent ERKs activation was more sustained, slower, reached maximum level at around 10 min, and phosphorylated ERKs translocated into the nucleus. Src was found to be commonly involved in both the G protein- and β-arrestin-dependent pathway-mediated ERKs activation. Pertussis toxin Gi/o inhibitor, GRK2-CT, AG1478 epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor, and wortmannin phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor all blocked G protein-dependent ERKs activation. In contrast, GRK2 and β-Arr2 played a main role in β-arrestin-dependent ERKs activation. Receptor endocytosis showed minimal effect on the activation of ERKs mediated by both pathways. Furthermore, we found that the formation of a complex composed of phospho-ERKs, β-Arr2, and importinβ1 promoted the nuclear translocation of activated ERKs. The differential regulation of various cellular components, as well as temporal and spatial patterns of ERKs activation via these two pathways, suggest the existence of distinct physiological outcomes.
