Furazolidone (FZD) is extensively used as the antiprotozoal and antibacterial drug in clinic. The previous study has shown that curcumin pretreatment could improve FZD induced cytotoxicity by inhibiting oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. The current study aimed to investigate the potential roles of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38 MAPK) signaling pathway in curcumin against FZD cytotoxicity by using human hepatocyte L02 cells. The results showed that curcumin could markedly attenuate FZD induced cytotoxicity. Compared with FZD alone group, curcumin pretreatment significantly reduced the expression of phospho (p)-p38, cyclin D1, p-checkpoint kinase 1 (ChK1) and breast cancer associated gene 1 (BRCA1) protein, followed to attenuate S phase arrest. Meanwhile, curcumin pretreatment prevented FZD induced ER stress, evidenced by the inhibition of glucose-regulated protein 78 and DNA damage inducible gene 153/C/EBP-homologous protein (GADD153/CHOP) protein expression. Moreover, compared with the control, FZD exposure activated the protein and mRNA expression levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), which were further activated by curcumin treatment. These results reveal that curcumin could prevent FZD induced cytotoxicity and S phase arrest, which may involve the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and the inhibition of p38 MAPK pathway and ER stress.

Water pollution caused by organic pollutants and water-borne pathogens has posed a serious threat to human health. Herein, a fully encapsulated core–shell MoO 3-x @Zn 2 In 2 S 5 S-scheme heterojunction was constructed for efficient removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and disinfection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (TC- E. coli ). The excellent catalytic performance is attributed to the synergistic advantages of optimized oxygen defect concentration, the protection of oxygen vacancy and enhanced photogenerated carrier separation efficiency. The MO@ZIS-15 with optimum defect density can remove 92.6 % of CIP in 120 min and inactivate 7.7 log TC- E. coli in 75 min. Furthermore, the developed MO@ZIS-15 system has excellent anti-anion and organic matter interference ability, and also exhibit good utilization potentiality in practical water. Combining theoretical calculations and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), the structure–function correlation between different CIP active sites and degradation pathway are revealed. Toxicity prediction and cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated that photocatalytic treatment can effectively reduce the ecotoxicity of degradation products. This work provideds a novel vision to design high-efficiency plasma-based photocatalysts for the removal of organic contaminants and disinfection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

We developed a novel fluorescent chiral probe, DBD-trans-2-methyl-L-proline (DBD-M-Pro), which can be used to target recognition of amino functional groups using chiral resolution. To investigate the chiral resolution efficiency, 20 chiral amino enantiomers (19 DL-amino acids and phenylethylamine) were labeled using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with a fluorescence (FL) system. Diastereomers were formed by the reactions of DBD-M-Pro with enantiomers of amino functional groups at 60 °C for 60 min and detected on a BEH C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm). Gradient elution of 10 mM ammonium acetate with 0.05% formic acid (FA) aqueous solution and 0.1% FA acetonitrile or 0.1% FA methanol solution was performed at an excitation wavelength (Ex) 460 nm and emission wavelength (Em) 550 nm. Each resulting derivative of D- and L- type was effectively separated. The results showed that the resolution (Rs) of 17 amino acids and phenylethylamine (PEA) in the range of 1.59–24.11, except for histidine (His) (Rs = 1.32) and serine (Ser) (Rs = 1.47), achieved completely separation. The DBD-M-Pro chiral probe has a robust chiral selectivity for D-amino acids. Furthermore, a new method for the simultaneous determination of six DL-amino acids (Pro, Val, Trp, Phe, Leu, Lys) in human saliva was developed. The proposed method showed resolution values of 1.78–16.38, and an excellent linear relationship was obtained in the range of 2.5–500 pmol ( R 2 ≥ 0.9990). The limit of detection (S/ N = 3) ranged from 0.5 to 3.75 pmol. The intra-day and inter-day coefficient of variation (CV) were within the range of 1.75–11.73%. The average addition recoveries in saliva ranged from 95.99 to 106.97%. The methodology was used to determine the content of DL-amino acids and the D/L-amino acid ratio in the saliva of 40 healthy volunteers (15 males and 25 females), as well as evaluating the differences between men and women. Our study suggests that the DBD-M-Pro chiral probe could be an effective tool for screening potential D-amino acid biomarkers in disease.

High activity trifunctional non-noble electrocatalysts , targeting oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), are rationally designed by integrating the merits of both Co 9 S 8 nanoparticles and carbons nanosheets . Herein, Co 9 S 8 loaded with S, N co-doped carbon core–shell catalyst (Co 9 S 8 @SNC) was reasonably designed and synthesized by using the strong coordination effect between Co 2+ and C S at the molecular level. The significant synergistic effect between the S, N co-doped carbon shell and Co 9 S 8 core endows the catalyst with excellent catalytic performance for ORR, HER, and OER reactions. The carbon shell enhances the conductivity of the hybrid material , while the Co 9 S 8 core provides the main catalytic active sites. More specifically, the half-wave potential for ORR is 0.846 mV, and the overpotential at 10 mA cm −2 for OER and HER are 320 mV and 170 mV, respectively. To test its practical application, zinc-air battery assembled by Co 9 S 8 @SNC shows a high power density of 239 mW cm −2 , excellent rechargeability, and long cyclic stability. This work provides a promising and extensible method to in-situ synthesize core–shell metal sulfides loaded S, N co-doped carbon composites, which can be a promising candidate for electrocatalytic material in energy storage and conversion devices.

A S-scheme Fe/Fe 2 O 3 @CBO photocatalyst was synthesized via a grinding calcination method, proficiently degrading tetracycline via radicals and non-radical. The reaction rate of Fe/Fe 2 O 3 @CBO-20 was recovered to 0.0255 min −1 that is 4.3 and 7.3 times as many as pristine Fe/Fe 2 O 3 and CBO after introducing visible light at the degradation process. The characterization outcomes also bear out that the S-scheme heterojunction is formed by passivation layer Fe 2 O 3 and CBO, which enhances the visible light responsiveness of catalyst and promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated electrons to generate h + and O 2 − . Meanwhile, the molecular oxygen is more easily activated to form H 2 O 2 due to the strong reduction potential of the CB (−1.21 eV), further to facilitate the transformation of O 2 − to 1 O 2 . And the carriers excited in CBO activate Cu + , forming a Cu/Fe dual-metal electron cycle. The generated Fe 2+ reacts with H 2 O 2 to establish photocatalysis-self-Fenton system to generate ·OH. Additionally, the high TC removal in simulated aquatic environment exhibit that the catalytic performance is slightly affected by practical wastewater and the cyclic experiment show the stability and practicality. In conclusion, innovatively employing Fe/Fe 2 O 3 for pollutant degradation via photocatalytic technology, this research paves a promising and efficacious pathway for the application of Fe/Fe 2 O 3 .

(S)-2,5-Dioxypyrrolidine-1-yl-(5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2,4-dinitrophenyl) pyrrolidine-2-carboxylate ( PPZ-Pro-NHS ) was used as the reagent for chiral derivatization to distinguish between amino acid enantiomers. PPZ-Pro-NHS, synthesized from (S)-1-(5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2,4-dinitrophenyl) pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid, reacted with chiral amines under mild conditions to yield the corresponding organic derivatives. The optimal conditions for derivatization using PPZ-Pro-NHS were 25°C and 40 min in a medium containing triethylamine. A simple liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry ( LC − MS ) method was developed to separate chiral amino acids using reversed-phase chromatography. The amino acids were separated by isocratic or gradient elution on a Mightysil RP-18 GP column with a mobile phase containing H 2 O, methanol, and 0.1% (v/v) formic acid. The enantiomers of the amino acids were fully separated with high resolution ( Rs = 1.20–5.30) and high sensitivity (limit of detection: 85–4546 fmol) using PPZ-Pro-NHS derivatization and LC–MS analysis with both isocratic and gradient elution. The enantiomers of 16 amino acid mixtures were simultaneously separated in a single chromatographic run using a gradient mobile phase system. Thus, PPz-Pro-NHS can be used for chiral amine screening and authentication.

Multidrug resistance is recognized as one of the main reasons leading to the failure of chemotherapy. Studies have shown that glutathione S-transferase inhibitors could be regarded as multidrug resistance reversal agents. Herein, a method of applying enzyme immobilization, molecular docking, and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was employed to screen glutathione S-transferase inhibitors from natural products. Magnetic mesoporous silica microspheres were synthesized and modified with a poly(dopamine) layer, which has a large quantity of amino, enabling further non-covalent binding with glutathione S-transferase. Moreover, the immobilization conditions, namely, potential of hydrogen, catalase concentration, reaction temperature and reaction time, were optimized. In total, six potential compounds were isolated and identified from Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt leaves and green tea and molecular docking was applied to identify the binding site. Rosmarinic acid, (−)-epigallocatechin-3- O -gallate and (−)-epicatechin-3-gallate showed higher binding affinity than the compounds, and their half maximal inhibitory concentration values were further determined. The results suggested that this proposed method was effective and convenient for identifying glutathione S-transferase inhibitors from natural products.

Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) originated from natural biomass have been of great interest in recent years because of their superior optical and chemical properties. However, previously reported CDs used only one natural biomass as precursor, and the fluorescence quantum yield (QY) and long-wavelength emissions are usually weak, which restrict their further applications in biology-relevant fields. Here a green method was demonstrated for the preparation of S and N codoped fluorescent CDs (S,N/CDs) by adopting two natural biomasses (water chestnut and onion) as precursors. The fabrication process is simple and environmentally friendly. By hydrothermal heating of water chestnut and onion, monodispersed, highly fluorescent S,N/CDs (diameter 3.5 nm) were obtained. The carboxyl on the surface of S,N/CDs can bind to Cu(II) ion, resulting in the luminescence quenching of S,N/CDs. And coenzyme A (CoA) can restore the luminescence of S,N/CDs. Based on the above features of S,N/CDs, an innovative off–on fluorescence probe was presented for high sensitivity determination of CoA. Under optimum conditions, the linear range for CoA detection is 0.03–40 μM with a detection limit of 0.01 μM. The developed off–on nanoprobe was applied for the quantification of CoA in pig liver, and imaging of CoA in living T24 cells.

The Mo-nonstoichiometry, oxygen vacancy, and S incorporation into Bi-Mo bimetallic oxide enhance the activity by creating defects that improve charge carrier separation efficiency and narrow bandgap energy. Oxygen vacancies synergistically attired nonstoichiometric and Mo-deficient and O-deficient Bi 2 Mo 3-x (S,O) 12-y oxysulfide (Mo-/O-deficient Bi 2 Mo 3 (S,O) 12 ) is found by a one-pot facile method to enhance the photocatalytic H 2 evolution and pollutant reduction via in-situ generated protons. The best Mo-/O-deficient Bi 2 Mo 3 (S,O) 12 catalyst with x = 0.75 and oxygen vacancy content of 27.6 % produced 480.87 µmol/h H 2 with 25 mg catalyst and achieved AQE of 14.26 % at λ = 420 nm, whereas reduced 88.9 % 4-NP and 91.6 % RhB by in-situ generated protons. Bi-non-stoichiometry leads to Mo 4+ and oxygen vacancy formation and creates active reaction sites of oxygen vacancy and active surface oxygen. These enhancements benefit photogenerated carrier separation efficiency and fast electron transfer and achieve Mo-/O-deficient Bi 2 Mo 3 (S,O) 12 with superb PHER. Therefore, non-stoichiometry and sulfur doping into Bi 2 Mo 3 O 12 bimetallic oxide is a promising approach for designing novel and synergistically defect-attired oxysulfide photocatalysts.

A far-red fluorescence “off-on” sensing strategy is described for sequential ratiometric determination of Cu 2+ and L-histidine (L-His) based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system. N,S,P co-doped carbon dots (N,S,P-CDs) and N-acetyl-L-cysteine functionalized gold nanoclusters (NAC-AuNCs) are used in the FRET system, which serve as energy donor and acceptor, respectively. After adding NAC-AuNCs into the solution of N,S,P-CDs, the fluorescence of N,S,P-CDs is effectively quenched, while the far-red fluorescence of NAC-AuNCs appears. Cu 2+ can decrease fluorescence of NAC-AuNCs, and then L-His can effectively recover the fluorescence of NAC-AuNCs. The possible reason is that the stronger affinity between Cu 2+ and L-His can pull Cu 2+ away from the surface of NAC-AuNCs. Through it all, the emission intensity of N,S,P-CDs remains nearly constant, so the ratio of fluorescence intensities at 485 and 625 nm exhibits a linear correlation to the Cu 2+ and L-His concentration, respectively. The sensing platform shows good selectivity towards Cu 2+ and L-His with a linear range of 0.65–26.58 μM and 3.13–56.25 μM and determination limits of 0.50 μM and 0.374 μM, respectively. The proposed method has been successfully used for Cu 2+ and L-His determination in real samples with satisfying results.

1-Chloro-2-hydroxy-3-butene (CHB) is a possible metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, a carcinogenic air pollutant . To demonstrate its formation in vivo, it is desirable to develop a practical biomarker and the corresponding analysis method. CHB can undergo alcohol dehydrogenase- and cytochromes P450 enzymes (P450)-mediated oxidation to yield 1-chloro-3-buten-2-one (CBO), which readily forms glutathione conjugates. We hypothesized that CBO-derived mercapturic acids , which are the expected biotransformed products of CBO-glutathione conjugates, could be used as CHB biomarkers. Thus, in the present study, we investigated the in vivo biotransformation of CHB into CBO-derived mercapturic acids. Because the reaction of CBO with N -acetyl- l -cysteine yields two products, 1,4- bis ( N -acetyl- S -cysteinyl)-2-butanone (NC1) and 1-chloro-4-( N -acetyl- S -cysteinyl)-2-butanone (NC2), we first developed an isotope dilution LC/ESI − -MS-MS method to quantitate urinary NC1 and NC2, and then determined their concentrations in urine of C57BL/6 mice and Sprague-Dawley rats administered CHB. Since no NC2 was detected in samples, the LC/ESI − -MS-MS method was optimized specifically for NC1. NC1 was enriched through solid phase extraction with the recovery being 75–82%. The limits of detection and quantitation were 6.8 and 34 fmol/0.1 mL for mouse urine, and 4.5 and 7.1 fmol/0.1 mL for rat urine, respectively. In urine of animals before CHB administration, no NC1 was detected; in mice administered CHB at 10 and 30 mg/kg, and rats at 5 and 15 mg/kg, NC1 was detected and its concentrations in urine from animals given higher doses were 3–6 fold higher than those given lower doses. Moreover, the NC1 concentrations in urine during 0–8 h were 4–6 fold and 10–11 fold higher than those during 8–24 h for mice and rats, respectively. The results demonstrated that CHB could be in vivo biotransformed into NC1, which could be used as a practical CHB biomarker.

Metal organic frameworks of type MOF-5 exhibit good adsorption capacity for many organic compounds. The authors have used nanoscale silica-coated zerovalent iron and MOF-5 to prepare, by co-precipitation, a novel magnetic nanomaterial of type Fe@MOF-5. Its morphology and structure were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The nanomaterial is shown to be well suited for magnetic solid phase extraction for five kinds of N- and S-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons prior to quantitation by HPLC. The limits of detection are in the 25 to 33 ng⋅L −1 concentration range. Four real water samples were used to validate the method, and the recoveries of spiked samples with concentrations of 5 and 10 ppb were found to be in the range between 92.6 and 97.3% ( n = 3). The Fe@MOF-5 sorbent obviously has excellent adsorption capability for such compounds, can be fairly easily synthesized, displays sensitivity, simplicity, ease of operation, and can be prepared at low costs. In our perception, it has a large potential in terms of monitoring such environmental pollutants.
