Graphical Treating fungal infection : A series of imidazole fused imidazo[2,1- b ][1,3,4]thiadiazoles were synthesized as potent, selective inhibitors of fungal for Candida albicans reduced chronic dermatomucoso candidiasis. The most potent compound, 21 a , showed druglike properties with low cytotoxicity and hemolysis. Three series of new imidazole-fused imidazo[2,1- b ][1,3,4]thiadiazole analogues (compounds 20 a – g , 21 a – g , and 22 a – g ) have been synthesized, and their antibacterial and antifungal activities have been evaluated. All the target compounds showed strong antifungal activity and high selectivity for the test fungus Candida albicans over Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. N -((4-(2-Cyclopropyl-6-(4-fluorophenyl)imidazo[2,1- b ][1,3,4]thiadiazol-5-yl)-5-(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-1 H -imidazol-2-yl)methyl)aniline ( 21 a ) showed the highest activity against C. albicans (MIC 50 =0.16 μg/mL), 13 and three times that of the positive control compounds gatifloxacin and fluconazole, respectively. Compounds 21 a and 20 e did not show cytotoxicity against human foreskin fibroblast-1 cells, and compound 21 a was as safe as the positive control compounds in hemolysis tests. These results strongly suggest that some of the compounds produced in this work have value for development as antifungal agents.

A new NADH-dependent carbonyl reductase Rh CR capable of efficiently reducing the ε-ketoester ethyl 8-chloro-6-oxooctanoate (ECOO) to give ethyl ( S )-8-chloro-6-hydroxyoctanoate [( S )-ECHO], an important chiral precursor for the synthesis of ( R )-α-lipoic acid, was identified from Rhodococcus sp. ECU1014. Using recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing Rh CR and glucose dehydrogenase used for the regeneration of cofactor, 440 g L −1 (2 M) of ECOO were stoichiometrically converted to ( S )-ECHO in a space–time yield of 1580 g L −1 d −1 without the external addition of any expensive cofactor.

A cobalt-based metal–organic framework was used as a precursor to synthesize Co 3 O 4 catalysts exhibiting a hexagonal layered morphology by calcination at varying temperatures. Various characterization techniques, such as XRD, SEM, Raman, H 2 -TPR, O 2 -TPD and N 2 adsorption–desorption, were used to study the effects of calcination temperature on the grain size, surface area, and pore volume of the catalysts. The Co 3 O 4 catalyst obtained by calcination at 350 °C (Co 3 O 4 -350) exhibited the highest catalytic activity for the total oxidation of propane. Furthermore, the small grain size and layered structure of Co 3 O 4 -350 allowed it to possess a high specific surface area, a highly exposed {1 1 2} facets, and abundant oxygen defects that facilitated a favorable low-temperature reducibility and oxygen mobility, thereby improving catalytic activity. This research offers a simple strategy for synthesis of Co 3 O 4 with layered structure, highly exposed {1 1 2} facets and rich oxygen defects.

The amyloid-β peptide (1–42) (Aβ 42 ) can provide high diagnostic accuracy for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, an immunosensor based on the peroxidase-like activity of heme-Aβ 42 was designed for Aβ 42 detection. The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was electrodeposited Au particles (GCE/Au). The GCE/Au was modified using polythionine-methylene blue (PTH−MB), AuNPs, monoclonal antibody (anti-Aβ 42 ), and bovine serum albumin (BSA), successively. The GCE/Au/PTH−MB/AuNPs/anti-Aβ 42 /BSA could competitively recognize Aβ 42 and heme-Aβ 42 . The anchored heme-Aβ 42 showed strong electrocatalytic activity between H 2 O 2 and ferrocenemethanol. Under optimum conditions, we determined detection limits of 17.3 pM in PBS pH 7, 25.2 pM in serum, and 23.8 pM in saliva. The recovery ranged from 71.0 % to 117.8 %.

Total saponins extracted from Dioscorea collettii (TSD), extracts of the Chinese herb Dioscorea, are thought to exhibit therapeutic benefit in gouty arthritis. However, its exact mechanism remains unclear. The current study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms by investigating the effects of TSD on the inflammation induced by monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in THP‑1 macrophages. The viability of THP‑1 macrophages was examined using the MTT assay and the levels of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)‑1β, IL‑18 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α, released by the cells were quantitatively measured using ELISA kits. The results revealed that the protein level of cluster of differentiation 11b increased in THP‑1 cells treated with 100 ng/ml phorbol ester, suggesting that monocytic THP‑1 cells were successfully differentiated into macrophages. TSD decreased the levels of inflammatory cytokines, including TNF‑α, IL‑18 and IL‑1β, secreted by THP‑1 macrophages. As the release of IL‑1β and IL‑18 is dependent on the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NALP3) inflammasome and caspase‑1, the current study investigated the effect of TSD on the aforementioned proteins. The results revealed that TSD decreased the protein levels of NALP3 and apoptosis‑associated speck‑like, which serve important roles in the assembly of the NALP3 inflammasome. Furthermore, NALP3 inflammasome‑related proteins were also decreased by TSD in rotenone induced THP‑1 macrophages, TSD inhibited the activation of caspase‑1 and rotenone‑induced NALP3 inflammasome activation in THP‑1 macrophages. The results obtained in the current study revealed that TSD attenuated MSU crystal‑induced inflammation by inhibiting rotenone‑induced activation of the NALP3 inflammasome and caspase‑1, suggesting that these two proteins may be novel targets for the treatment of gouty arthritis.

Titanium silicalite-1 zeolite (TS-1) has been widely used as a catalyst for the epoxidation of 1-hexene. However, fast synthesis of TS-1 with high activity and stability remains a great challenge. In this study, a new strategy using sodium persulfate (SPS) as a crystallization modifier was proposed for the accelerated synthesis of anatase-free TS-1. The anatase-free TS-1 (TS-20-SPS) could be obtained after 20 h of hydrothermal crystallization. TS-20-SPS had a low Si/Ti ratio (31) and achieved a high conversion (20 %) in the epoxidation of 1-hexene at room temperature (298 K), which was 200 % higher than that of TS-1 synthesized without adding SPS. The addition of SPS not only accelerated the crystallization due to the generation of ·OH, but also reduced the pH value of the system to avoid the generation of anatase. This SPS-assisted approach offers an avenue for the accelerated synthesis of high-performance, anatase-free TS-1.

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) have drawn growing concerns because of their potential adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems. However, limited information is available regarding their concentration and distribution in the actual environment, particularly for nanoplastics (NPs). Herein, forty-eight sampling sites were established across the entire Taihu Lake to comprehensively investigate small MNP (<100 μm) pollution. By pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS), six kinds of MNPs in Taihu Lake, namely polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were quantified. Total mass concentrations of the six MNPs in the collected surface water samples ranged from 381 to 1356 μg/L. Specifically, the concentrations of small microplastics (1–100 μm) ranged from 229 to 1182 μg/L, and those of nanoplastics (<1 μm) ranged from 88 to 305 μg/L. The mass concentrations of the six MNPs were as follows: 20.3–635.7 μg/L for PE, 46.6–281.4 μg/L for PP, 81.8–410.6 μg/L for PET, 62.8–445.8 μg/L for PVC,

It has been reported that β -MnO 2 has photocatalytic activity for the oxidative-coupling of 2-naphthols into 1,1′-bi-2-naphthols. Nevertheless, it is hard to exclude the possibility that the oxidative-coupling of 2-naphthols is initiated by β -MnO 2 catalysis in dark due to the insufficient investigations in the related reports. In the present work, the oxidative-coupling of 2-naphthols into 1,1′-bi-2-naphthols with different phases MnO 2 catalysis in dark and under visible-light irradiation were systematically investigated. The results revealed that the oxidative-coupling of 2-naphthols is jointly initiated by MnO 2 catalysis and O 2 -oxidation, not by MnO 2 photocatalysis. Among the α -MnO 2 , β -MnO 2 , γ -MnO 2 and δ -MnO 2 catalysis, β -MnO 2 catalysis has the optimal performance, its selectivity for the oxidative-coupling of 2-naphthols into 1,1′-bi-2-naphthols is close to 100%, and its catalytic capacity could be well retained after multiple using. Our findings provide comprehensive and accurate understanding the catalytic role of MnO 2 for the oxidative-coupling of 2-naphthols into 1,1′-bi-2-naphthols. Graphic In the present work, the oxidative-coupling of 2-naphthols into 1,1′-bi-2-naphthols was proved to be jointly initiated by MnO 2 catalysis and O 2 -oxidation, not by MnO 2 photocatalysis. β -MnO 2 has the optimal catalytic activity for the oxidative-coupling of 2-naphthols relative to α -MnO 2 , γ -MnO 2 and δ -MnO 2 .

Tetrakis(1-adamantanecarboxymethyl)methane was prepared by indirect esterification. DSC traces of tetrakis(1-adamantanecarboxymethyl)methane showed two endothermic peaks. Entropy ratio of these two peaks is: ΔStrs/ΔSfus = 1.58 > 1. XRD confirmed the solid–solid transition and analysis of XRD by DICVOL demonstrated tetrakis(1-adamantanecarboxymethyl)methane is a new compound with a highly disordered crystalline phase. Analysis of entropy changes at transitions showed why fusion entropy (ΔSfus = 70.07 J mol−1 K−1) of tetrakis(1-adamantanecarboxymethyl)methane is much larger than Timmermans’ criterion.

FAM20C is elevated in inflamed periodontal tissues and LPS-treated cells. • Fam20c loss sensitizes osteoblasts to Caspase-1/GSDMD pyroptosis. • RNA-seq links Fam20c deficiency to pyroptosis and ER-stress signatures. • Metabolomics reveals purine and amino-acid metabolic remodelling. • Ac-YVAD-CMK reverses inflammatory activation in Fam20c-deficient cells. FAM20C is a secretory-pathway kinase required for mineralized-tissue homeostasis, and FAM20C-associated disease is accompanied by early periodontal inflammation. We investigated whether FAM20C limits Caspase-1-dependent osteoblast pyroptosis during periodontal inflammatory challenge. FAM20C/Fam20c expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in ligature-induced mouse periodontitis and human gingiva and by RT-qPCR after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure in four cell models. Stable Fam20c-deficient and Fam20c-overexpressing osteoblasts were analysed by transcriptomics, untargeted metabolomics, microscopy, immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR, Western blotting, ELISA and pharmacological Caspase-1 inhibition. FAM20C/Fam20c protein and mRNA increased in inflamed tissues, and LPS induced Fam20c expression. Fam20c deficiency increased ER-stress/Ca 2+ -homeostasis and inflammasome/pyroptosis module scores, reduced osteogenic gene expression and altered purine- and antioxidant-related metabolites. Fam20c loss enhanced LPS-induced cleaved Caspase-1, N-GSDMD and IL-1β/IL-18 release, whereas Fam20c overexpression attenuated these responses. Ac-YVAD-CMK reduced Caspase-1/GSDMD activation and cytokine release in Fam20c-deficient cells. These findings identify Fam20c as a determinant of osteoblast susceptibility to Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis. Periodontal LPS induces an early FAM20C stress response. Genetic Fam20c deficiency disrupts ER/Ca 2+ and metabolic homeostasis, increases Caspase-1 activation and GSDMD cleavage, and amplifies osteoblast pyroptosis.

The noble metal-based bimetallic clusters with high atom utilization and surface energy have been widely applied in heterogeneous catalysis, but the stabilization of these metastable clusters in harsh reaction conditions is quite challenging. Herein, we synthesize a series of Pt-, Pd-, and Ru-based clusters promoted by a second non-noble metal (Zn, Cu, Sn, and Fe), which are confined inside silicalite-1 (pure silica, S-1) crystals by a ligand-protected method. The second metal could well stabilize and disperse the noble atoms inside the rigid S-1 zeolites via Si-O-M bonds, thus enabling to lower the usage of expensive noble metals in catalysts. The as-synthesized bimetallic catalysts exhibited excellent performance in non-oxidative propane dehydrogenation (PDH) reaction, which is typically operated above 500 °C. The PtZn@S-1, PtCu@S-1, and PtSn@S-1 with only a ∼ 0.17 wt.% Pt loading offer a significant enhancement in PDH performance compared with the conventional PtSn/Al 2 O 3 catalyst with a 0.5 wt.% Pt loading prepared by impregnation method. Notably, the PtSn@S-1 provides a propane conversion of 45% with a 99% propylene selectivity at 550 °C, close to the thermodynamic equilibrium. Furthermore, the PtSn@S-1 exhibits excellent stability during 300 h on stream and high tolerance to regeneration by a simple calcination step.
