An unusual metal-organic framework, {H[Ag(I)L][Mo(VI)4O13]}n (1) (L=(4-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)methanol)), has been obtained under ionothermal conditions. According to the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, 1 is a new 3-D framework based on β-[Mo8O26]4− type polymolybdate anions with two kinds of channels (A and B) along the b-axes and c-axes in the framework. The neighboring inorganic Mo8-Ag chains are linked by the organic ligands through the Ag centers resulting in 2-D layers. These adjacent 2-D layers extend into a 3-D framework through Ag1 nodes and β-[Mo8O26]4− anions, respectively, resulting in a topological symbol (64 · 82)2(64 · 82). In addition, the gas adsorption, proton conduction and luminescent properties of 1 are also discussed in detail. Moreover, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements show a conductivity (1.9 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 65 °C and 95% relative humidity (RH)), with an activation energy of 0.41 eV for 1. The mechanism of proton conduction for 1 is proved to be the vehicular mechanism.

Abstract Oxidative polymerization of aniline was carried out in ethanol using chloroauric acid (HAuCl 4 ) as the oxidant. Simultaneous reduction of HAuCl 4 and formation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and polyaniline (PANI) composite nanospheres (AuNPs@PANI nanospheres) were achieved without using any templates or structure-directing agents. The composite nanospheres are uniformly distributed with an average diameter of about 400 nm, in which the ultrafine AuNPs with size of about 2–4 nm were evenly embedded in the PANI matrix which acted as the dispersing agent and stabilizer of AuNPs. In addition, the catalytic performance of these composite nanospheres towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol in the presence of NaBH 4 was studied. Furthermore, the possible formation mechanism and catalytic mechanism of the self-assembled AuNPs@PANI nanospheres were also discussed. Graphical Abstract

( R )- or ( S )-2-Hydroxy-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid (HMTBA) is used as a poultry nutritional supplement and to treat renal failure disease. Herein, we report an artificially designed biocatalytic cascade process, which uses l -methionine to synthesize ( R )- or ( S )-HMTBA. This biocatalysis cascade comprises a basic module and two different extender modules and operates in a modular assembly manner. The basic module responsible for the transformation of l -methionine to α-keto-γ-methylthiobutyric acid (KMTB) is comprised of the l -amino acid deaminase. Two different extender modules responsible for the transformation of KMTB to ( R )- or ( S )-HMTBA are comprised of the R/S-specific lactate dehydrogenase in combination with the formate dehydrogenase, respectively. Engineered Escherichia coli catalysts, one containing the basic module, the other containing the one of two different extender modules, produced 97.6 g L −1 ( R )-HMTBA and 96.4 g L −1 ( S )-HMTBA with a yield of 96.9% and 95.8% at the large scale (1 L) using a two-stage strategy in one pot, respectively. Therefore, this biocatalytic process lays the foundation for the industrial-scale conversion of low-cost l -amino acids to corresponding high-value enantiopure chiral 2-hydroxy acids.

The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of zinc enrichment on the characteristics, metabolites and antioxidant activity of L. plantarum DNZ-4. Electron microscopy analysis showed that the ultrastructure of the zinc-enriched strain changed greatly both for surface and inside as compared to the control strain. The zinc-enriched strain showed higher acid production ability resulting in lower pH value. Resistance assays demonstrated that the zinc-enriched strain has stronger tolerance ability to acid, bile salt and H 2 O 2 than that of the control strain. Metabolites analysis indicated that the various metabolites in the zinc-enriched strain were altered significantly as a result of amino acids, energy and fatty acid metabolism affected by zinc enrichment. Furthermore, the antioxidant properties of the zinc-enriched strain, including radical scavenging capacity and the antioxidative enzyme activity increased significantly. These results suggest that zinc addition had a positive effect on the physiologic function of L. plantarum DNZ-4.

Zero-valent aluminum (ZVAl) is a promising reductant because of its relatively low redox potential , which can efficiently activate molecular oxygen to generate reactive oxygen species . However, its long-term performance is limited by the intrinsic dense oxide layer and the passivation effect of the accumulative Al-(hydr)oxide on its surface during the reaction. In this study, four clay minerals with different compositions were mixed with ZVAl by ball milling to obtain four composites of ZVAl and clay (ZVAl-Clay), which were used to degrade a high concentration of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) under ambient conditions. The oxidation efficiencies of different ZVAl-Clays were strongly relevant to Fe contained in the clay minerals. The Fe-free ZVAl-Clay presented poor oxidation performance, whereas the reaction efficiencies of those ZVAl composites with Fe-bearing clays exhibited varying degrees of improvement. In comparison with the original ZVAl, the highest oxidation rate increased by 23 times, the maximum increased OH production was approximately 8 times, and the corresponding mineralization efficiency improved by 38.7%. However, the levels of improved oxidation performance of various ZVAl-Clays were not positively correlated with their actual total Fe contents, and their degradation efficiencies might also be affected by other physical and/or chemical properties of different clays. The synergistic mechanism revealed by various characterizations was that electron transfer might occur from ZVAl to the structural Fe(III) of the clay through the basal plane or edge of clays triggered by ball milling. Thus, the partially produced Fe(II) on the clay surface promoted the Fenton-like reaction to decompose H 2 O 2 into OH for efficient oxidation of 4-CP. In short, the ZVAl composites with Fe-bearing clays deserved further exploration as potential materials for efficient degradation of organic matters in wastewater samples.

Graphical Taking the heat off : The 24 curcumin analogues in this study were found to have no toxicity toward mouse bone marrow cells, and some of them showed potent anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting LPS-stimulated TNFα, IL-6, IL-1β, PGE2, and NO production in rat macrophages. Pharmacokinetic studies indicated that compound c6 has better bioavailability than curcumin in vivo. Both c6 and c10 may be valuable leads for the development of new anti-inflammatory agents. A total of 24 N-substituted 3,5-bis(2-(trifluoromethyl)benzylidene)piperidin-4-one derivatives were synthesized via aldol condensation, and their anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated. These compounds were found to have no significant cytotoxicity against mouse bone marrow cells in vitro. However, some compounds, such as c6 ( N -(3-methylbenzoyl)-3,5-bis-(2-(trifluoromethyl)benzylidene)piperidin-4-one) and c10 ( N -(2-chlorobenzoyl)-3,5-bis-(2-(trifluoromethyl)benzylidene)piperidin-4-one), displayed potent anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells. Treatment with c6 or c10 at 2.5 or 10 mg kg −1 significantly decreased the paw edema induced by carrageenan in rats, and the anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds were found to be better than those of celecoxib or indomethacin as well as their parent compound C66 (2,6-bis-(2-(trifluoromethyl)benzylidene)cyclohexanone). Pharmacokinetic analysis indicated that c6 has better bioavailability than curcumin. Therefore, these compounds may be valuable leads for the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs.

We show that the thickness, h0, dependence of the effective viscosity, ηeff(h0), of unentangled random copolymer films of styrene (St) and 4-methoxystyrene (MeOS) supported by silica (SiOx) can be easily tuned by tuning the MeOS concentration, XMeOS, in the copolymer. When XMeOS is increased from 0% to 100%, ηeff(h0) changes steadily from suppressed to enhanced with decreasing film thickness. At XMeOS = 10%, ηeff(h0) displays a nonmonotonic variation. Results obtained by fitting a three-layer model to the ηeff(h0) data show that ηeff(h0) of the XMeOS = 0% film was dominated by the mobility-enhancing effect of the free surface, but as XMeOS increases, the mobility-slowing effect of the substrate surface increases and dominates. The results also show that the propagation distance, lt, of the substrate effect increases with increasing XMeOS and is ∼2.6 to 6 times the radius of gyration of the polymer. We tentatively suggest the long propagation distances to be caused by the long-range van der Waals interactions. Analysis of the van der Waals interfacial potentials of the films supports this interpretation.

Self-healing hydrogels with the shear-thinning property are novel injectable materials and are superior to traditional injectable hydrogels. The self-healing hydrogels based on 2-ureido-4[1 H ]-pyrimidinone (UPy) have recently received extensive attention due to their dynamic reversibility of UPy dimerization. However, generally, UPy-based self-healing hydrogels exhibit poor stability, cannot degrade in vivo and can hardly be excreted from the body, which considerably limit their bio-application. Here, using poly (l -glutamic acid) (PLGA) as biodegradable matrix, branching α-hydroxy- ω -amino poly(ethylene oxide) (HAPEO) as bridging molecule to introduce UPy, and ethyl acrylate polyethylene glycol (MAPEG) to introduce double bond, the hydrogel precursors (PMHU) are prepared. A library of the self-healing hydrogels has been achieved with well self-healable and shear-thinning properties. With the increase of MAPEG grafting ratio, the storage modulus of the self-healing hydrogels decreases. The self-healing hydrogels are stable in solution only for 6 h, hard to meet the requirements of tissue regeneration. Consequently, ultraviolet (UV) photo-crosslinking is involved to obtain the dual crosslinking hydrogels with enhanced mechanical properties and stability. When MAPEG grafting ratio is 35.5%, the dual crosslinking hydrogels can maintain the shape in phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS) for at least 8 days. Loading with adipose-derived stem cell spheroids, the self-healing hydrogels are injected and self-heal to a whole, and then they are crosslinked in situ via UV-irradiation, obtaining the dual crosslinking hydrogels/cell spheroids complex with cell viability of 86.7%±6.0%, which demonstrates excellent injectability, subcutaneous gelatinization, and biocompatibility of hydrogels as cell carriers. The novel PMHU hydrogels crosslinked by quadruple hydrogen bonding and then dual photo-crosslinking of double bond are expected to be applied for minimal invasive surgery or therapies in tissue engineering.

4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) is a priority pollutant in water and is both carcinogenic and genotoxic to humans and wildlife even at very low concentrations. Thus, we herein fabricated a novel molecularly imprinted core-shell nanohybrid as a ratiometric fluorescent sensor for the highly sensitive and selective detection of 4-NP. This sensor was functioned by the transfer of fluorescence resonance energy between photoluminescent carbon dots (CDs) and 4-NP. This sensor was synthesized by linking organosilane-functionalized CDs to silica-coated CdSe quantum dots (CdSe@SiO 2 ) via Si–O bonds. The nanohybrids were further modified by anchoring a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layer on the ratiometric fluorescent sensor through a facile sol–gel polymerization method. The morphology, chemical structure, and optical properties of the resulting molecularly imprinted dual-emission fluorescent probe were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopic analysis. The probe was then applied in the detection of 4-NP and exhibited good linearity between 0.051 and 13.7 μg/mL, in addition to a low detection limit of 0.026 μg/mL. Furthermore, the simplicity, reliability, high selectivity, and high sensitivity of the developed sensor demonstrate that the combination of MIPs and ratiometric fluorescence allows the preparation of excellent fluorescent sensors for the detection of trace or ultra-trace analytes.

In this study, the solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid and terephthalic acid in N-methylformamide, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, N-methylformanilide, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexanone, acetophenone, and ethylene glycol diethyl ether was measured using the laser dynamic method under 101.3 kPa at the temperature ranging from 293.65 to 344.35 K. The measured results showed that the solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid and terephthalic acid increased with the increasing temperature. The solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid is greater than that of terephthalic acid in the same solvents. The modified Apelblat model and the modified nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model were utilized to correlate the solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid and terephthalic acid in each solvent. The calculated solubility agreed satisfactorily with the measured results with 1.67/1.91% averaged relative deviation (ARD) for terephthalic acid and 0.62/0.69% for 4-methylbenzoic acid in the modified NRTL/Apelblat model, respectively. The result of the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) analysis showed that the modified Apelblat model was better at correlating the solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid in 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, acetophenone, N-methylformamide, acetophenone, and terephthalic acid in 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone; the modified NRTL model performs better in correlating the solubility of 4-methylbenzoic acid in N-methylformanilide, N-methylformamide, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, and terephthalic acid in 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, and cyclohexanone N-methylformanilide.

The hybrid coupling between inorganic semiconductor and molecular catalyst can provide a promising approach for the construction of highly efficient and selective photocatalytic CO 2 reduction systems. This hybrid system can take full advantage of the strong light harvesting capability of semiconductor and high selectivity of molecular catalyst. The interaction linker bridging the semiconductor and molecular catalyst plays an important role in supplying efficient electron transfer channels. In this study, both CdS with and without ethylenediamine functionalization (i.e., CdS-EF and CdS) have been successfully synthesized and further respectively coupled with tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin iron(III) chloride (FeTCPP) for CO 2 photoreduction. It is found that CdS-EF exhibits inferior photocatalytic activity to CdS, while CdS-EF/FeTCPP hybrid photocatalyst shows much higher activity than CdS/FeTCPP. This is because hydrogen bonding exists between the amino groups in CdS-EF and carboxyl groups in FeTCPP, which can act as electron transfer channels from CdS to FeTCPP in the obtained hybrid system.

Aim To develop potent B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) inhibitors, novel N-phenyl-4-pyrimidine-diamine analogs were designed and synthesized via structure-based and computer-aided drug design.Methods Starting from the hit compound ZB979, we synthesized three series of pyrimidinediamine BCL6 inhibitors (13a-13e, 14a-14c and 15a-15g) and evaluated their inhibitory activities on BCL6-SMRT interaction using homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) assays. The most promising candidate, compound 15d, was further assessed for its anti-proliferative activity and modulation of BCL6 downstream target genes, suppression of germinal center (GC) formation.Results Compound 15d demonstrated significant BCL6-SMRT inhibition with favorable physicochemical properties (Calculated LogP (ClogP) and topological polar surface area (tPSA)).Conclusion These findings highlight the potential of pyrimidinediamine-based scaffolds as novel BCL6 inhibitors, warranting further structural optimization to improve their efficacy.
