Dicarboxylic acids derived acylated-anthocyanins are common in nature, which can also be obtained by enzymatic acylation of anthocyanins. However, little research have focused on the properties of anthocyanins with dicarboxylic acid derivatives due to the complexity of isolation, detection, and identification. In this work, pelargonidin-3-glucoside (Pg3G) was acylated with various dicarboxylic acids. The conversion yields of acylated Pg3G were positively associated with carbon chain lengths of dicarboxylic acids. The primary acylated products were identified as pelargonidin- 3 -(6″-malonyl) glucoside, pelargonidin- 3 -(6″-succinyl) glucoside, and pelargonidin- 3 -(6″-glutaryl) glucoside using LC-MS and NMR. Furthermore, the three acylated Pg3G derivatives exhibited improved thermostability and enhanced lipophilicity compared with Pg3G. The improved thermostability was attributed to the influence of dicarboxylic acids substituent on the distribution of flavylium cation, quinoidal base, hemiketal, cis -chalcone, and trans -chalcone at the equilibrium condition. Overall, our research provided insights about the improved stability and lipophilicity of pelargonidin-3-glucoside following enzymatic acylation with aliphatic dicarboxylic acids.

In this paper, LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite as anode for aqueous lithium ion battery has been successfully synthesized by in-situ carbon coating method using oxalic acid and glucose as double carbon sources. XRD results confirm the rhombohedral NASICON-type LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 structure of the as-prepared composite. The LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite using double carbon sources (LTP-OG-10) disperses well, and the coated carbon layer has the appropriate thickness of 3–7 nm, which result in proper balance of the good electrical conductivity and the fast kinetics of diffusion of lithium ions . LTP-OG-10 exhibits better electrochemical performance compared with those using oxalic acid (LTP-O) or glucose (LTP-G) single carbon source. LTP-OG-10 anode delivers the discharge capacity of 112.5 mA h g −1 , 96.8 mA h g −1 , and 54.2 mA h g −1 at 0.2 C, 5 C and 20 C, respectively, much larger than that of LTP-O and LTP-G. Moreover, LTP-OG-10 demonstrated excellent cycling performance, with the capacity retention of 71.1% after 400 cycles at 0.2 C, 22.9% higher than that of LTP-G. The good electrochemical properties of LTP-OG-10 is mainly ascribed to the increase of defects, high-quality and appropriate thickness of carbon layer. Our study reveals that preparing LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite using double carbon sources is an efficient approach to enhance its electrochemical properties.

Symmetric sodium-ion batteries possess promising features such as low cost, easy manufacturing process, and facile recycling post-process, which are suitable for the application of large-scale stationary energy storage. Herein, we proposed a symmetric sodium-ion battery based on dual-electron reactions of a NASICON-structured Na3MnTi(PO4)3 material. The Na3MnTi(PO4)3 electrode can deliver a stable capacity of up to 160 mAh g–1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 97% at 0.1 C by utilizing the redox reactions of Ti3+/4+, Mn2+/3+, and Mn3+/4+. This is the first time to investigate the symmetric sodium-ion full cell using Na3MnTi(PO4)3 as both cathode and anode in the organic electrolyte, demonstrating excellent reversibility and cycling performance with voltage plateaus of about 1.4 and 1.9 V. The full cell exhibits a reversible capacity of 75 mAh g–1 at 0.1 C and an energy density of 52 Wh kg–1. In addition, both ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and first-principles calculations are employed to investigate the sodiation mechanism and structural evolution. The current research provides a feasible strategy for the symmetric sodium-ion batteries to achieve high energy density.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) has a high incidence in middle-aged and elderly women, leading to an increased risk of fractures and elevated rates of disability and mortality. In this work, we identified the reduction of indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) as a potential key factor contributing to the decline in bone mass observed in postmenopausal women. Mechanistically, IPA activates AhR, leading to the stabilization of key proteins in Wnt and NF-κB pathways that regulate bone formation and resorption. We evaluated efficacy in vivo using eight-week-old female C57BL/6 mice subjected to bilateral ovariectomy (OVX), with treatments initiated one week postsurgery, and performed complementary in vitro assays. Intraperitoneal IPA (20 mg/kg, 3× per week for 8 weeks) increased the trabecular bone mineral density (Tb.BMD) by ~68% versus OVX controls, whereas engineered Clostridium sporogenes that enhances IPA biosynthesis led to an even greater increase of ~118%. Together, these findings highlight the gut–bone axis as a central framework linking microbiota-derived IPA to skeletal remodeling and provide preclinical proof-of-concept for an engineered C. sporogenes–IPA strategy with therapeutic potential in PMOP.

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure remain mechanistically incompletely defined despite their clinical significance in cardiovascular disease. While ADP-ribosyltransferase cholera toxin-like (ARTC) enzymes modulate membrane protein function and downstream signaling via post-translational modifications, their role in cardiac pathology remains unexplored. Herein, we investigated the regulatory involvement of ADP-ribosyltransferase 3 (ART3) in myocardial remodeling. Cardiomyocyte-specific ART3 knockdown and overexpression murine models were established using adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9), with RNA-sequencing employed to profile ART3-dependent transcriptional responses in pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Functional validation was performed in complementary in vitro and in vivo hypertrophy models, complemented by immunoprecipitation-coupled mass spectrometry to identify ART3 substrates. ART3 was found to be cardiomyocyte-enriched and transcriptionally downregulated during progressive myocardial remodeling and heart failure. Cardiomyocyte-specific ART3 knockdown 3 accelerated the decompensatory transition of cardiac hypertrophy, whereas ART3 overexpression exerted significant anti-hypertrophic and anti-remodeling effects. Mechanistically, ART3 preserved cardiomyocyte mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, catalyzing the site-specific mono-ADP-ribosylation (mADPr) of Integrin Subunit Alpha 7 (ITGA7) at residue R129. This post-translational modification was requisite for integrin signaling pathway activation, which mediated the observed cardioprotective effects. Collectively, these findings establish ART3 as a novel regulator of pathological cardiac hypertrophy by modulating ITGA7 via mADPr, highlighting its therapeutic potential as a target for heart failure intervention.

Power conversion efficiency (PCE) is limited by the high density of defects and poor energy level alignment of the SnO 2 /perovskite (PVK) buried interface in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, a synergistic molecular interface engineering strategy is designed by using an ionic liquid, 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide salt (DMIMTFSI) to modify this critical interface. The strong electron-withdrawing TFSI − anion induces a downward shift of the conduction band of SnO 2 , thereby optimizing energy level alignment and facilitating electron extraction. Meanwhile, the DMIM + cation passivates interfacial defects through robust chemical interactions with Pb 2+ and I − ions. Furthermore, the long alkyl chain of DMIMTFSI templates the formation of an ordered porous PbI 2 morphology, which improves the crystallinity of the overlying PVK film. The DMIMTFSI modification reduces the trap-state density by 31.86%, prolongs the carrier lifetime by 39.42%, and increases the built-in potential from 0.95 to 1.02 V. Therefore, the DMIMTFSI-modified device achieves a PCE of 24.14%, significantly outperforming the pristine device of 22.34%. The unencapsulated modified device retained 87% of its initial PCE after being stored for 1000 h under ambient conditions, demonstrating excellent environmental stability. This work provides a viable multifunctional interface engineering pathway toward high-performance and stable PSCs. Graphical The insertion of the ionic liquid of 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (DMIMTFSI) into the interface of perovskite/tin oxide significantly improves the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells from 22.34% to 24.14%. This is due to the synergistic effect of defect passivation, energy level modulation, and crystal growth promotion of DMIMTFSI.

This study aimed to elucidate the impact of environmental factors on the efficacy of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in inhibiting acrylamide formation and to clarify the role of the 3-aminopropionamide (3-APA) pathway in this process. Asparagine–glucose and 3-APA model systems were employed for the investigation. The results revealed that EGCG exerted a pronounced, condition-dependent inhibitory effect on acrylamide formation during the Maillard reaction. The maximum inhibition rate of 91% was observed at 180 °C and pH 6.0 without metal ions, while alkaline conditions, excessive heating, and Fe3+markedly weakened the inhibitory capacity of EGCG. In the 3-APA model, a positive correlation (R2= 0.9111) was found between acrylamide generation and EGCG oxidation, and the keyo-quinone-derived adduct was identified as an indirect evidence for EGCG oxidation. Collectively, the redox state of EGCG, which is highly susceptible to food processing conditions, may modulate its anti-acrylamide activity. These findings provide valuable mechanistic insights for the rational application of EGCG to mitigate acrylamide contamination in thermally processed foods.

The recycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a widely used polyester plastic, has become an increasingly significant issue. This study aims to develop an efficient and environmentally friendly catalytic system for the degradation of waste PET and realize the resource utilization of polyester. The methanolysis of PET was investigated using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Emim]BF 4 ) as a catalyst. The effects of temperature, time, [Emim]BF 4 dosage, and methanol dosage on the reaction were systematically examined. The conversion of PET reached 100% with a dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) yield of 74.06% under optimal conditions: 200°C, 2 h, a PET-to-[Emim]BF 4 mass ratio of 5:1, and a PET-to-methanol mass ratio of 6:1. Kinetic analysis revealed that the reaction followed first-order kinetics, with an apparent activation energy of 51.16 kJ/mol. A possible mechanism for the [Emim]BF 4 -catalyzed methanolysis of PET was proposed. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that [Emim]BF 4 could effectively reduce both the reaction energy barriers and the final-state energy, thereby enhancing the reaction rate and favoring the forward progression of the reaction.

To develop efficient and reusable catalysts for biodiesel production, quaternary heteropolyacid H 4 PVMo 2 W 9 O 40 (PVMo 2 W 9 ) was effectively wrapped inside rht -MOF-1 { rht -MOF-1 = [Cu 6 O(TZI) 3 (H 2 O) 6 ] 4 ⋅nH 2 O}, affording a crystalline H 4 PVMo 2 W 9 O 40 @ rht -MOF-1 ( 1 ) by one-pot hydrothermal method. The identification of the crystal structure of 1 was achieved through the utilization of X-ray crystallography. Nano-size crystals of 1 ( n-1 ) were prepared with the assistance of surfactant Tween 20. Notably, crystal n-1 was of cube shape grown along {100} facets rather than octahedral shape for 1 . When n-1 was applied as the catalyst for the esterification reactions, high conversion rates were achieved. E. g. about 97 % conversion for oleic acid to the corresponding monoalkyl esters and about 87 % for rapeseed oil to biodiesel. The catalyst was heterogeneous and recyclable 7 times without obvious attenuation. Further, the correlation between the catalytic activity and structure of n-1 was investigated in terms of the distribution of active sites, various pores in rht -MOF-1, and the accessibility of catalytic sites on the {100} facets.

Collagen/cellulose blended solutions with collagen/cellulose mass ratio (Col/Cel) of 0, 1/40, 1/20, 1/10 and 1/5 were prepared using [Emim]Ac as solvent. The interactions between the two polymers before and after regeneration were investigated. In steady shear flow, all of the experimental viscosity values were greater than those of the estimated values calculated from the log-additivity rule for each sample, suggesting interactions between the two polymers in solutions. All solutions exhibited shear thinning behavior and the flow curves could be described by Cross model. Zero shear viscosity ( η
0 ) versus Col/Cel was examined and a linear increase (from 8.73 to 16.39 Pa·s) can be observed for η
0 as Col/Cel ≤ 1/10, while there was only a slight increase (from 16.39 to 18.42 Pa·s) in η
0 as Col/Cel increased to 1/5. Dynamic rheology results suggested the existence of aggregates in solution with Col/Cel = 1/10. Furthermore, the activation energy of solution was 84.5 kJ mol −1 as Col/Cel = 1/10, higher than that of cellulose solution (44.2 kJ mol −1 ). Regenerated films were prepared and characterized to trace back the interactions between the two polymers in [Emim]Ac. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated the hydrogen-bond interaction between collagen and cellulose in films. The denaturation temperature of collagen in films with Col/Cel ≤ 1/10 could be improved, but it was decreased with the increase of collagen content, and finally was reduced to be close to that of collagen as Col/Cel = 1/5. The features of dynamic mechanical analysis for films were indicative of the lack of homogeneity between collagen and cellulose as Col/Cel = 1/5. Atomic force microscopy images further confirmed the phase-separation when Col/Cel = 1/5.
