Tolterodine is a first-line antimuscarinic drug used to treat overactive bladder. Adverse cardiac effects including tachycardia and palpitations have been observed, presumably because of its inhibition of the Human Ether-à-go-go-Related gene (hERG) K+ channel.
However, the molecular mechanism of hERG channel inhibition by tolterodine is largely unclear. In this study, we performed molecular docking to identify potential binding sites of tolterodine in hERG channel, and two-microelectrode voltage-clamp to record the currents of hERG and its mutants
expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The results of computational modeling demonstrated that phenylalanine at position 656 (F656) and tyrosine at position 652 (Y652) on the S6 helix of hERG channel are the most favorable binding residues of tolterodine, which was validated by electrophysiological
recordings on Y652A and F656A hERG mutants. The Y652A and F656A mutations decreased inhibitory potency of tolterodine 345-fold and 126-fold, respectively. The Y652A mutation significantly altered the voltage dependence of channel inhibition by tolterodine. For both the wild-type and the mutant
channels, tolterodine reduced the currents in a time-dependent manner, and the blockade occurred with the channel activated. Tolterodine did not interfere with hERG channel deactivation, whereas channel inactivation greatly impaired its blocking effect. The inhibition of hERG channel by tolterodine
is independent of its action on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. In conclusion, tolterodine is an open-state blocker of hERG K+ channel with nanomolar potency. Y652 and F656, 2 aromatic residues on the inner S6 helix, are responsible for the high-affinity binding of tolterodine
to hERG channel.

Herein, the preparation of CoSb nanoparticles embedded in carbon nanofibers with a raised surface (N-doped CoSb@C nanofibers) via the electrospinning method is reported for the first time. The distinct structure facilitates the pseudocapacitive behaviors, which is the key to obtain fast kinetics and long cyclability. N and Co elements can not only optimize the electronic configuration but also buffer the volume changes of the material during cycling. For potassium-ion batteries, the capacity maintains 250 mA h g−1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g−1, and for sodium-ion batteries, the capacity keeps 413 mA h g−1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g−1. Thus, this work makes a great contribution towards exploring high-capacity anodes for practical potassium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries.

This article deals with the mean activity coefficients of LiCl in amide–water mixtures with both ɛ -increasing co-solvent (urea–water, N -methylformamide–water), and ɛ -decreasing co-solvent ( N , N -dimethylformamide–water, N , N -dimethylacetamide–water) systems at 298.15 K by potentiometric method. Meanwhile, thermodynamic properties including the osmotic coefficients, the excess Gibbs free energy, the standard solubility product, the primary LiCl hydration number and the standard free energy of transference from water to the mixtures were also calculated. The nonideal behavior of these systems has been discussed in terms of the Pitzer, the Modified Pitzer and the extended Debye–Hückel equations parameters.

A series of La 0.7 K 0.3− x Sr x MnO 3 (0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) films were fabricated on LaAlO 3 substrates using a sol-gel spin-coating technique. The relationship between electrical transport properties and a microstructure was explained via the Jahn–Teller effect, a phenomenological percolation model, and a double-exchange mechanism. The results revealed the strong impact of K and Sr co-occupying A-sites on the formation of Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ pairs, crystal structure, conductivity, surface morphology, and in-plane and out-of-plane strains. The as-fabricated La 0.7 K 0.25 Sr 0.05 MnO 3 films showed a peak temperature coefficient of resistivity of 16.63% K −1 at 298.3 K.

A visible-light-responsive hybrid photocatalyst , K-doped g-C 3 N 4 /BiOBr, has been synthesized by K-doped g-C 3 N 4 (K–CN) and BiOBr. The property of photocatalysts was characterized by XRD , FT-IR, TEM, SEM , DRS , PL , EIS and HPLC. The photocatalytic activity of K-doped g-C 3 N 4 /BiOBr was evaluated by degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline hydrochloride under visible-light irradiation. The K-doped g-C 3 N 4 /BiOBr hybrid photocatalyst which contains K–CN with mass fraction of 20% (20K–CN/BiOBr) shows the best degradation efficiency of RhB. The degradation efficiency of RhB (20 mg/L) can be achieved to 99% and the degradation efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride by BiOBr decreased with the increase of K-doped g-C 3 N 4 doping. The results of photocurrent and EIS assumed that the tight coupling between K–CN and BiOBr can enhance the separating efficiency of photo-generated carrier. In addition, the capture experiment proof that h + is the primary active substance in the system of reaction and ·OH is the auxiliary active substance. After five degradation experiments, the efficiency of the degradation of Rhodamine B by the sample can still reach 90%, which proves that the samples are stable. A new and efficient method is provided in this work to solve the pollution of organic dyes and antibiotics.

In this work, solid–liquid equilibria (SLE) data for ternary sodium 1-naphthalenesulfonate + sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate + water system was measured at (283.15, 303.15 and 323.15) K respectively. The diagrams for solid liquid phase of the ternary system were well-established by the measured solubility data. The solid phases formed in the studied system were determined by the method of Schreinemaker’s wet residue. Moreover, the density of equilibrium liquid phase was gained in the process. At each temperature, there are two pure solids forming. They are sodium 1-naphthalenesulfonate and sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate in the ternary system. The solubility data for the ternary system were calculated and regressed by NRTL model, giving acceptable results for the investigated systems.

N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) as the main solvent with strong dissolving power was blended with four secondary solvents (ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, and propylene glycol) with relatively weak dissolving power to form many new solvents. The dispersion index (inosine (form β) mole fraction) in five organic solvents such as DMF and in the newly formed solvent was also obtained one by one with the static method commonly used in solid–liquid equilibrium. The temperature environment includes the high temperature set at 323.15 K, the low temperature set at 278.15 K, and an interval between each temperature of 5 K. The pressure environment was the atmospheric pressure in the natural state, and the usual value was 101.0 kPa. In a mixed system, temperature was a non-negligible influencing factor from beginning to end, and its increase often led the solute to the trend of high solubility. In addition, the proportion of the main solvent also dominated the solubilization trend of the inosine (form β); the larger the proportion of DMF, the easier the dissolution process. When both of the above factors were fixed at a certain point, the dispersing ability of the dispersing liquid composed of DMF and ethanol was undoubtedly the first. Three models (Jouyban–Acree model, van’t Hoff–Jouyban–Acree model, and modified Apelblat–Jouyban–Acree model) were used to correlate the solubility data. The largest relative average deviation and root-mean-square deviation values were 4.66 × 10–2 and 7.27 × 10–4, respectively. The dispersion data of inosine (form β) obtained through this experimental process and related thermodynamic parameters obtained through thermodynamic calculations have important application significance for its industrial production and further purification.

Mn4+-doped fluoride red-emitting phosphors have been developed for backlighting white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). However, the long fluorescence lifetime (τ > 5 ms) leads to the image-retention phenomenon for the human eye when Mn4+ is doped into equivalent X sites in A2XF6 (A = Na, K, Rb, Cs; X = Si, Ge, Ti, Zr). Herein, we report on novel red-emitting A2NaScF6:Mn4+ (A = K, Rb, Cs) (ANSF) phosphors with short fluorescence lifetimes (τ < 4 ms) and characteristic zero phonon line (ZPL) emission, which can be realized via non-equivalent doping of Mn4+ into Sc3+ sites. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified the formation of a slightly distorted environment of Mn4+ and an Na+ vacancy to balance the charge with Mn4+ non-equivalent doping. The WLED backlight using ANSF as a red-light component can reach a wide color gamut above 105% of the National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) standard, and the image-retention on the backlighted screen can be effectively avoided compared to the backlight obtained using commercial K2SiF6:Mn4+. Such a Mn4+ non-equivalent doping strategy opens a new perspective for the modification of local symmetry and enhancement of the luminescence properties of Mn4+-doped red-emitting fluoride phosphors.

Water activities for the MgCl 2 –RbCl–H 2 O ternary system and its sub-binary MgCl 2 –H 2 O and RbCl–H 2 O systems at 298.15 K have been measured using the isopiestic method. The measured results for the binary systems agree well with literature data. The measured equal water activity lines for the MgCl 2 –RbCl–H 2 O ternary system deviate from Zdanovskii’s rule. The solubilities for the MgCl 2 –RbCl–H 2 O ternary system also have been measured using a isothermal visual first/last crystal method, and the results are consistent with one reported set of solubility data. Pitzer’s model was selected to correlate the measured water activity and solubility data and the parameters reported in the literature are re-examined by comparing the model-calculated equal water activity lines and solubilities with experimental values measured in this work. New and reasonable parameters are obtained by fitting the water activity and solubility data measured in this work and those reported in the literature. The water activities and solubilities were simulated with the new parameters and the results show that the Pitzer model can successfully represent the thermodynamic properties and be used to calculate the solubility isotherms.

The mean activity coefficients for CsCl in N -methylformamide or urea ( w ) + H 2 O (1 − w ) systems were determined in this work by potentiometry, using ion-selective electrodes at 298.15 K. The value of mass fraction w was varied between 0.00 and 0.40 in five unit-steps and the molality of CsCl was between 0.0020 and 1.4009 mol·kg −1 . The experimental data have been correlated with the Pitzer, modified Pitzer and the extended Debye–Hückel equations. The resulting values of the mean activity coefficients, the osmotic coefficients and the standard Gibbs energy of transfer, together with the Pitzer ion-interaction parameters ( β
(0) , β

Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for {water + furfuryl alcohol + solvent (isopropyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, dichloromethane and methyl isobutylcarbinol)} ternary systems were determined at T = 298.2 K and p = 101.3 kPa. The distribution coefficients and separation factors were evaluated and the results showed that those solvents can effectively for furfuryl alcohol recovery from aqueous solutions. The Othmer-Tobias, Bachman and Hand equations were employed to validate the reliability of the experimental LLE data. Additionally, the experimental LLE data were correlated using the NRTL and UNIQUAC models and the binary interaction parameters were optimized. The root mean square deviations (RMSD) between the correlated data by NRTL and UNIQUAC models and the experimental LLE data were less than 0.36%, which demonstrated that both models can correlate experimental LLE data successfully.

The solubility and phase diagram of the CsCl–MgCl2–H2O ternary system, at a relatively wide temperature range, are significantly important for the extraction of the cesium resources from salt lakes. The isothermal dissolve equilibrium (IDE) method was used to determine the solubility of this ternary system at T = 273.15, 308.15, and 348.15 K, which have not been reported yet. The measured results indicated that the equilibrium solid phases in this ternary system from T = 273.15 to 348.15 K are CsCl, double salt CsCl·MgCl2·6H2O, and MgCl2·6H2O, and correspondingly there are three crystal regions and two cosaturated points for these solid phases. The solubility of the salt increased with the increase of the temperature, and the double salt CsCl·MgCl2·6H2O and CsCl crystal regions also became larger with the increasing temperature. However, the crystal regions of the MgCl2·6H2O solid phase are not enlarged obviously. Based on the solubility and phase diagram of CsCl–MgCl2–H2O at different temperatures, the separation process of CsCl resources has been proposed.
