Tris (2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate (TOTM) is commonly used as an alternative plasticizer for medical devices. But very little information was available on its biological effects. In this study, we investigated toxicity effects of TOTM on hepatic differential gene expression analyzed by using high-throughput sequencing analysis for over-represented functions and phenotypically anchored to complementary histopathologic, and biochemical data in the liver of mice. Among 1668 candidate genes, 694 genes were up-regulated and 974 genes were down-regulated after TOTM exposure. Using Gene Ontology analysis, TOTM affected three processes: the cell cycle, metabolic process and oxidative activity. Furthermore, 11 key genes involved in the above processes were validated by real time PCR. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed that these genes were involved in the cell cycle pathway, lipid metabolism and oxidative process. It revealed the transcriptome gene expression response to TOTM exposure in mouse, and these data could contribute to provide a clearer understanding of the molecular mechanisms of TOTM-induced hepatotoxicity in human.

A hyperbranched supramolecular polymer (HSP) is constructed based on the intermolecular inclusion complexation of bridged tris(permethyl- β -cyclodextrin) with Mn III -porphyrin bearing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chains (Mn III -TPP), and characterized by UV/vis absorption spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), NMR, dynamic light scattering (DLS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The presence of permethyl- β -cyclodextrin can stabilize the low-valent Mn II -TPP. In vitro cell experiment indicates that this HSP has no remarkable cellular toxicity against NIH 3T3 cells. In vitro MR imaging experiment indicates a slightly increased T 1 relaxivity for this HSP compared to that for the linear supramolecular polymer.

1,3,5-Tris(phenylamino) benzene and a series of its substitution derivatives were synthesized. The structure of the as-synthesized products was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectra. Moreover, the antioxidation behavior of 1,3,5-tris(phenylamino) benzene and its substitution derivatives as antioxidants in several ester oils was evaluated by a rotary oxygen bomb test and pressurized differential scanning calorimetry, while theoretical calculations were conducted to examine their antioxidation mechanism. It was found that 1,3,5-tris(phenylamino) benzene exhibits better antioxidation ability at elevated temperature (150 and 210 °C) than commonly used commercial antioxidant diphenylamine. In the meantime, the substitution groups exhibit significant effects on the antioxidation behavior of 1,3,5-tris(phenylamino) benzene and its derivatives. This is because the substituents result in changes in the molecular structure and electronic effect of the as-synthesized products, thereby causing s change in their antioxidation behavior.

In this research, the feasibility of UV/Fe(III) photocatalytic technology for the degradation of tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) was investigated. Experimental results showed that TCEP had a significant removal efficiency in UV/Fe(III) ([TCEP] 0 = 10 ppm, [Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ] 0 = 0.5 mM, near-100% degradation rate after 90 min). A free radical scavenging experiment and EPR detection indicated that the formation of ·OH by the Fe(III) under ultraviolet light played a major role. Experiments on influencing factors revealed that oxygen accelerated the degradation of TCEP by accelerating the Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle, but Cl − and PO 4 3− inhibited TCEP degradation. Three intermediate products were generated, including C 4 H 9 Cl 2 O 4 P (product A, m/z 222.9690), C 6 H 13 Cl 2 O 5 P (product B, m/z 266.9954), and C 2 H 6 ClO 4 P (product C, m/z 160.9762). Moreover, the degradation pathways primarily involved the C–Cl bond and phosphoric center being attacked. Escherichia coli toxicity test revealed that UV/Fe(III) treatment reduced environmental risk of TCEP. Therefore, UV/Fe(III) photocatalysis is a promising technique for TCEP control in wastewater treatment. Graphical abstract

A novel ratiometric fluorescence probe was designed for the determination of Al 3+ by self-assembling of NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) and [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ . Under the excitation wavelength of 360 nm, the NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)@[Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ presented a dual-emitting luminescent property at 440 and 605 nm, respectively. In the presence of Al 3+ , the blue fluorescence of NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)@[Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ at 440 nm was enhanced remarkably, while the red emission at 605 nm was almost not influenced. Therefore, taking the fluorescence at 440 nm as the report signal and 605 nm as the reference signal, quantitative determination was achieved for Al 3+ concentration in the ranges 0.2–25 μM and 25–250 μM. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were calculated to be 73 nM and 244 nM, respectively. The sensing mechanisms were studied by theoretical calculation and optical spectra. The analysis of real food samples confirmed the suitability of the proposed method. More importantly, portable fluorescent test papers were successfully manufactured to provide a strategy for visual, rapid, and on-site detection of Al 3+ . Graphical abstract

ECL of lithium bis(oxalate)borate was studied for the first time. • It exhibits strong Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ ECL. • It is sensitively detected by Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ ECL. • The present method holds promise for lithium bis(oxalate)borate detection in energy storage devices. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) based on tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium II [Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ] is widely used in bioanalytical applications, but commonly relies on tripropylamine (TPrA) as a co-reactant. However, the toxicity, volatility, and solvent limitations of TPrA motivate the development of alternative co-reactants. In this work, lithium bis(oxalate)borate (LiBOB) was employed for the first time as a co-reactant for the Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ECL systems on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The ECL behavior of the Ru(bpy) 3 2+ /LiBOB system was investigated and compared with those of the conventional co-reactants, TPrA and sodium oxalate. The relative ECL efficiency of LiBOB ( φ ECL = 0.054) was nearly two-fold higher than that of sodium oxalate ( φ ECL = 0.028), suggesting its potential as a co-reactant for aqueous Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ECL systems. The ECL intensity exhibited a linear relationship with LiBOB concentration over the range of 0.001 to 0.9 mM, with a limit of detection of 0.5 μM. LiBOB enhanced the Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ECL signal and demonstrated favorable electrochemical characteristics. Its good solvent compatibility, thermal and chemical stability, and ability to generate reactive intermediates make LiBOB an attractive alternative co-reactant for Ru(bpy) 3 2+ -based ECL systems. These findings provide a foundation for the development of more robust and versatile ECL analytical platforms.

As a commonly used flame retardant in numerous products, it is inevitable that tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate (TCEP) is released into the surrounding environment during its use. This process gives rise to potential environmental concerns that must be addressed. In recent years, there has been significant interest in the role of TCEP in the development of hyperuricemia (HUA). However, the specific mechanisms by which TCEP contributes to this condition remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, we have employed a combination of network toxicology and in vitro experiments to investigate the potential effects of TCEP on HUA and its mechanism of action. Through systematic analysis of GeneCards, OMIM, Swiss Target Prediction, and CHEMBL databases, a total of 242 TCEP-induced HUA targets were identified. Utilizing the STRING and DAVID databases further elucidated the core targets and associated signaling pathways of TCEP in relation to HUA. The molecular docking assay results demonstrated that TCEP exhibits binding activity with the selected targets. In vitro, our findings revealed that TCEP exacerbates HUA by amplifying the inflammatory response and upregulating the mRNA expression levels of GLUT9 and URAT1. The present study provides a new perspective and theoretical basis for the in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanism of TCEP affecting HUA, and helps to further understand the pathogenesis of HUA and the role of environmental factors.

Dopamine (DA) is a very imperative neurotransmitter in our body, since it contributes to several physiological processes in our body, for example, memory, feeling, cognition, cardiovascular diseases, and hormone secretion. Meanwhile, tyrosinase is a critical biomarker for several dangerous skin diseases, including vitiligo and melanoma cancer. Most of the reported chemiluminescent (CL) methods for monitoring DA and tyrosinase are signal-off biosensors. Herein, we introduce a new chemiluminescent “signal-on” system, lucigenin-tris(hydroxypropyl)phosphine (THPP), for the selective determination of DA and tyrosinase. THPP is well known as a versatile and highly water–soluble sulfhydryl-reducing compound that is more highly stable against air oxidation than common disulfide reductants. By employing THPP for the first time as an efficient lucigenin coreactant, the lucigenin-THPP system has shown a high CL response (approximately 16-fold) compared to the lucigenin-H2O2 classical CL system. Surprisingly, DA can remarkably boost the CL intensity of the lucigenin-THPP CL system. Additionally, tyrosinase can efficiently catalyze the conversion of tyramine to DA. Therefore, lucigenin-THPP was employed as an ultrasensitive and selective signal-on CL system for the quantification of DA, tyrosinase, and THPP. The linear ranges for the quantification of DA, tyrosinase, and THPP were 50–1000 nM, 0.2–50 μg/mL, and 0.1–800 μM, respectively. LODs for DA and tyrosinase were estimated to be 24 nM and 0.18 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, the CL system has been successfully employed for the detection of tyrosinase in human serum samples and the assay of DA in human serum samples as well as in dopamine injection ampules with excellent obtained recoveries.

Molecular additives have garnered widespread attention in the fields of lubrication and corrosion protection due to their designable interfacial film-forming efficiency. Herein, three protic ionic liquids (PILs) with the same cation but different anions have been designed and synthesized. Their physicochemical properties, tribological properties and anti-corrosion properties were systematically investigated. Results demonstrated that under dynamic steel-on-steel friction conditions, the PILs can maximally reduce the running-in period, friction coefficient, and wear rate by 90 %, 40 %, and 97 %, respectively, compared to the commercial ionic liquid, BMIMPF 6 . Under static copper corrosion conditions, the PILs efficiently adsorb onto the copper surface and formed a dense oxide layer on its surface, thus achieving excellent corrosion protection for the copper substrates. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results indicate that the exceptional lubricity of PILs is due to its ability to rapidly adsorb onto the metal surface through multiple interaction sites on both its anionic and cationic components, thereby reducing the running-in period and swiftly establishing a lubricating film. This study provides insights into the development of molecular additives featuring multiple adsorption sites, with potential applications in the fields of tribology and corrosion engineering.

Ionic memristors can emulate brain-like functions of biological synapses for neuromorphic technologies. Apart from the widely studied excitatory-excitatory and excitatory-inhibitory synapses, reports on memristors with the inhibitory-inhibitory synaptic behaviors remain a challenge. Here, the first biaxially inhibited artificial synapse is demonstrated, consisting of a solid electrolyte and conjugated microporous polymers bilayer as neurotransmitter, with the former serving as an ion reservoir and the latter acting as a confined transport. Due to the migration, trapping, and de-trapping of ions within the nanoslits, the device poses inhibitory synaptic plasticity under both positive and negative stimuli. Remarkably, the artificial synapse is able to maintain a low level of stable nonvolatile memory over a long period of time (≈60 min) after multiple stimuli, with feature-inferencing/-training capabilities of neural node in neuromorphic computing. This work paves a reliable strategy for constructing nanochannel ionic memristive materials toward fully inhibitory synaptic devices.

The current study presents a comprehensive and novel attempt to degrade aqueous tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) by metal-oxide-coated Ti anodes for the first time. Six metal-oxide-coated Ti electrodes (Ti/SnO 2 -Sb, Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/PbO 2 , Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 , Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/Ce-PbO 2 , Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/Ga-PbO 2 and Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/Zr-PbO 2 ) were prepared and characterized. Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 showed the highest pseudo-first-order reaction rate constant (2.1 × 10 −2 min −1 ) and lowest energy consumption (21.35 Wh L −1 ) in the degradation of 1 mg L −1 TCEP at 10 mA cm −2 , mainly because of its highest oxygen evolution potential and OH production. Higher current density and neutral condition favored TCEP degradation, while the presence of Cl − or NO 3 − could suppress the degradation. In the electrochemical degradation of 10 mg L −1 TCEP, mineralization percentage of 48.0% (mineralization current efficiency of 0.30%) and PO 4 3− release percentage of 72.7% were achieved at 150 min. By the attack of OH on the C O and C Cl bonds in TCEP molecular structure, products of chloroethanol, Cl − and PO 4 3− were released, with the major electrocatalytic degradation pathways of dechlorination and hydroxylation. Based on the results of flow cytometry, the relative toxicity to Escherichia coli effectively decreased to 4.93% in TCEP degradation. Compared with the UV-AOPs, electrochemical oxidation process is proved to be feasible and effective for mineralization and detoxification of TCEP in water.
