Psychoactive substances abuse is a global issue, with the methamphetamine (METH) being the most used and produced illicit substance in recent years. METH has been recognized as emerging contaminants in aquatic ecosystems. Research on the removal of METH from surface water is still lacking in-depth exploration. The effects of key aqueous environmental factors on the photodegradation of METH were investigated in this study. NO₃ ⁻ , Fe 3+ and dissolved organic matter (DOM) enhanced the photodegradation of METH, respectively, with degradation rates increasing as their concentrations increased. When HCO₃ ⁻ coexisted with NO₃ ⁻ , it exhibited dual effects on METH photodegradation: low concentrations inhibited the process, whereas high concentrations promoted it. The primary photodegradation products of METH, such as OH-METH, (OH) 2 -METH, AMP and NO 2 -OH-METH, were identified. The latter two compounds were newly discovered in this study. The mechanism of NO₃ ⁻ , HCO₃ ⁻ and Fe 3+ accelerating the photodegradation of METH in water was proposed to proceed via the generation of hydroxyl radical (HO∙), leading to the oxidation of METH, along with the involvement of nitro radical (∙NO 2 ) and carbonate radical (CO 3 •- ).

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly lethal malignancy, and its clinical management encounters severe challenges due to its high metastatic propensity and the absence of effective therapeutic targets. To improve druggability of aurovertin B (AVB), a natural polyketide with a significant antiproliferative effect on TNBC, a series of NO donor/AVB hybrids were synthesized and tested for bioactivities. Among them, compound 4d significantly inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of TNBC in vitro and in vivo with better safety than that of AVB. The structure−activity relationship analysis suggested that the types of NO donor and the linkers had considerable effects on the activities. Mechanistic investigations unveiled that 4d induced apoptosis and ferroptosis by the reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential and the down-regulation of GPX4, respectively. The antimetastatic effect of 4d was associated with the upregulation of DUSP1. Overall, these compelling results underscore the tremendous potential of 4d for treating TNBC.

The integration of photothermal and near-infrared (NIR) imaging capabilities of indocyanine green (ICG) small molecules has attracted considerable attention in tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, the abnormal upregulation of cellular heat shock proteins (HSPs) induced by photothermal therapy (PTT) enhances cellular heat resistance, thereby severely affecting the efficacy of PTT. In this study, to address the impact of HSPs on the efficacy of PTT while obtaining high-quality NIR fluorescence imaging in the NIR region, we designed a targeted peptide@ICG nanofluorescent probe encapsulated in liposomes. The introduced cRGD targeting peptide not only possesses tumor-targeting capabilities but also features LA as the last amino acid in the targeting peptide, which can generate nitric oxide (NO) under reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggering. It can happen under 808 nm single-light source NIR light, and the guanidine group in the peptide decomposes and combines with singlet oxygen molecules to generate NO gas molecules, thereby exerting an elevated photothermal effect by inhibiting the expression of HSP70. In addition, the nanoprobes enable deep imaging and treatment of glioma in situ and can be combined with a laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) system for multimodal imaging. This composite probe demonstrates synergistic tumor therapeutic effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT), PTT, and gas therapy, offering a promising strategy for cancer treatment.

As well known, the apparent structure and chemical composition of self-cleaning photocatalytic coatings are crucial for their application. In this study, C 3 N 4 with a large specific surface area was introduced into N-CQDs/Bi 2 WO 6 to construct a highly catalytic active catalyst (CBW-0.5), which continuously degraded 57.7 % of NO. A robust self-cleaning photocatalytic coating (CCBW-B) was prepared by firmly bonding CBW-0.5 to the substrate through a layered spraying process. CBW-0.5 endowed CCBW-B with high catalytic activity, maintaining a degradation rate of 64.9 % for NO, and most of the surface organic dye contamination was degraded after 36 h. Due to the appropriate arrangement of low surface energy substances and micro/nano particles on the surface, CCBW-B with a graded cross network on the surface has contact angles (CA) of 156°/145° for water/olive oil, respectively. The influence of each component of CCBW-B on its photocatalytic and liquid repellent ability was studied, and the patterns for the differences in coating performance due to the changes in surface roughness structure caused by different layer distributions was discussed. In addition, the mechanism for the excellent performance of CCBW-B was explored using SEM, specific surface area, and the theory of the generation and distribution of air pockets. Finally, the durability and self-cleaning ability of CCBW-B were tested, and the synergistic mechanism of self-cleaning and photocatalysis was also provided.

Visible light-driven photo-oxidation reactions hold significant potential for the treatment of gaseous pollutants. However, the weak internal electric field of carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) leads to sluggish migration of photogenerated carriers, while inefficient electron-hole pair separation further limits the overall photo-oxidation efficiency. In this study, nitrogen-vacancy (Nv) rich crystalline (Cs)/amorphous g-C 3 N 4 was synthesized using a two-step calcination method. The increased crystallinity facilitates faster carrier migration, broadens the potential difference between the crystalline and amorphous regions, and enhances the piezoelectric response. On the other hand, the incorporation of nitrogen vacancies (Nv) introduces asymmetry, generating a dipole field that significantly improves the efficiency of electron-hole pair separation. Moreover, the presence of NV improves the adsorption and activation of O 2 molecules, promoting the photo-oxidation of adsorbed NO via the generation of single linear oxygen ( 1 O 2 ). The resulting material, Cs-Nv-630, demonstrated excellent oxidative NO removal efficiency, achieving a removal rate of 95.3 % under visible light irradiation. This study highlights a novel strategy for enhancing photo-oxidation activity through structural engineering, leveraging crystallinity and dipole fields to optimize carrier migration and complexation.

The development of new technologies for removal of NO and chlorobenzene in complex flue gas situations at low temperature is a complex and demanding task. Here, the synergistic removal of NO and chlorobenzene was achieved through catalysis assisted dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) mechanism under different conditions. The experimental results suggested that the increase of specific energy density (SED) and the loading of CeO 2 strengthened the treatment of NO and chlorobenzene. A higher degradation efficiency of NO and a lower production rate of NO 2 were achieved after the introduction of chlorobenzene. The removal of chlorobenzene could also be benefited from this process, and the introduction of NO promoted CO 2 selectivity of chlorobenzene. The XPS and H 2 -TPR analyses confirmed that the reaction between chlorobenzene and NO occurred by the assistance of Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ redox cycle as well as the consumption and regeneration of chemically adsorbed oxygen. During the reaction, the oxygen vacancies (OVs) caused by plasma etching promote the redox cycle and alleviate the catalyst poisoning caused by chloride ions (Cl − ). Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of the resulting byproducts revealed phenol as the most significant intermediate in chlorobenzene degradation, while acetaldehyde emerged as the major product resulting from ring-opening processes of chlorobenzene. Utilizing chlorobenzene from flue gas subtly, this method presents a more sustainable alternative for NO reduction, showing promise for addressing industrial emission challenges. Graphical

High entropy oxides (HEOs) have excellent light absorption performance, abundant active sites, and good photocatalytic stability, but there is currently little research on their photocatalytic activity for NOx. This work prepared (BiCoNiCuMn)Ox by a two-step solid-state grinding and high-temperature calcination method, and its photocatalytic NO removal efficiency reached 55%. However, the catalyst is significantly deactivated during the cyclic reaction process. In order to further investigate the deactivation mechanism, a series of comprehensive characterization techniques were employed in this study, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT). The research results indicate that the nitrate (NO3–) generated during the reaction process is the main factor leading to the deactivation of (BiCoNiCuMn)Ox. The accumulation of nitrate ions (NO3–) on the surface of the catalyst leads to the formation of an insulating layer, which hinders the performance of the catalyst. This study not only provides important insights into the deactivation mechanism of the (BiCoNiCuMn)Ox photocatalyst, but also establishes a theoretical framework for the practical application of high entropy oxides in environmental remediation.

Platelets attribute to the hypercoagulation of blood and maintenance of the tumor vascular integrity, resulting in limited intratumoral perfusion of nanoparticle into solid tumors. To overcome these adversities, we herein present an antiplatelet strategy based on erythrocyte membrane-enveloped proteinic nanoparticles that biomimic nitric oxide synthase (NOS)with co-loading of l -Arginine (LA) and photosensitizer IR783 for local NO release and inhibition of the activation of tumor-associated platelets specifically, thereby enhancing vascular permeability and accumulation of the nanoparticles in tumors. A cRGD-immobolized membrane structure is constructed to actively target platelets and cancer cells respectively, through overexpressed integrin receptors such as integrin α IIb β 3 and α v β 3 , accelerating the inhibition of platelet activation and endocytosis of nanoparticles by tumor cells. Bio-mimicking the arginine/NO pathway in vivo , synergistical delivery of LA and IR783 enables LA molecules readily oxidize to NO with O 2 that is mediated by activated IR783, the resulted NO not only retards the activity of platelets to disrupt the vascular integrity of tumor but also enhances toxicity to cancer cells. In addition, NIR-controlled release localizes the NO spatiotemporally to tumor-associated platelets and prevents undesirable systemic bleeding substantially. The reduction of the hypercoagulable state is further demonstrated by the down-regulation of tissues factor (TF) expression in tumor cells. Our study describes a promising approach to combat cancer, which advances the biomimetic NOS system as the potent therapeutic forces toward clinic applications.

Four new water-soluble polysaccharides has previously been isolated from Cardamine hupingshanensis . In this experiment, the structure of C. hupingshanensis polysaccharide NO. 3 (CHP-3) is analyzed and its in vitro anti-tumor activity is assessed. Through structural analysis, CHP-3 is found to have a molecular weight of 80.64 kDa, and be mainly composed of glucose, galactose, and L -arabinose; The backbone of CHP-3 is mainly composed of →5)-α-L-Araf-(1→ and →4)-α-D-Glc(p)-(1→), respectively. By studying its anti-tumor activity in vitro, it can be concluded that treatment with different concentrations of CHP-3 exerted diverse effects on A549 cells, with an obvious dose-dependent relationship. Moreover, after treatment with 12.8 mg mL −1 CHP-3, significant inhibitory effects are observed on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of A549 cells, indicating that it can be used as an anti-tumor agent for continued in-depth research.

Fe-BEA catalysts are active for the NH3-SCR of NO. For industrial application, a binder should be added to the Fe-BEA catalysts to make them tightly adhere to the monoliths. The addition of alumina and zirconia as binders to the Fe-BEA led to a different effect on NO conversion. The catalytic activity of the mixed samples was evaluated by the temperature programmed procedure in a flow-reactor system, and the mechanism was analyzed via SEM, BET, XRD and XPS. It was found that larger iron particles were formed by the migration of parent iron particles in the Fe-BEA catalyst with alumina. This led to the increase of Fe 3+ magnitude and iron cluster, enhancing the abilities of NO oxidation and storage. Accordingly, the SCR activity increased slightly in low temperature but decreased sharply in high temperature. For the Fe-BEA with zirconia sample, NO oxidation and storage abilities decreased due to the less iron clusters. The increase of Fe 3+ magnitude resulted in higher catalytic oxidation ability, which gave rise to little change in the SCR activity compared with the Fe-BEA.

A number of NO-releasing quinoline derivatives have been designed and synthesized by introducing NO donor to quinoline carboxylic acid fragment. The anti-proliferation of all target compounds was evaluated against human cancer cell lines (HCT-116, MCF-7, and A549), MCF-7/ADR and normal cell (MCF-10A). Most compounds showed cytotoxic activity on cancer cells and drug-resistant cells with IC 50 values in the range of 0.62–5.51 μM. Importantly, these compounds showed low toxicity to normal cells (4.21–34.08 μM). Further mechanism studies showed that the most potent compound 9 could release high concentration of NO and inhibit the activity of topoisomerase I. In addition, 9 regulated apoptosis-related proteins, generated ROS and blocked MCF-7 cells in G2/M phase to induce cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the P-gp-mediated transport was also influenced by 9 . And 9 could significantly inhibit the growth of tumor in vivo without observable organ-related toxicities. Overall, as a novel NO-releasing quinoline derivative, 9 was worthy for further in-depth study.

Skin necrosis is the most serious complication of flap plastic surgery, which means the failure of the operation. Systemic administration rarely benefits the local area and can lead to side effects, while topical administration has poor permeability due to the skin barrier function. Currently, few of these common medical interventions can totally respond to the blood supply of the skin after surgery. Herein, a soluble microneedle (MN) patch made of hyaluronic acid was used to target the ischemic area in a painless and precise manner for transdermal drug delivery. Based on the important role of nitric oxide (NO) in angiogenesis, the thermosensitive NO donor (BNN6) and gold nanorods (GNRs) acting as photothermal agents were introduced into the microneedles (MNs). The hyperthermia induced by GNRs under near infrared (NIR, 808 nm) irradiation could enhance the penetration of drugs and facilitate NO release from BNN6. A series of corresponding experiments proved that the system played a significant promotion role in vascular regeneration, providing a painless, precise and NO-assisted treatment method for the ischemic perforator flaps.
