Xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibition has long been considered an effective anti-hyperuricemia strategy. To identify effective natural XOD inhibitors with little side effects, we performed a XOD inhibitory assay-coupled isolation of compounds fromSmilacis Glabrae Rhizoma(SGR), a traditional Chinese medicine frequently prescribed as anti-hyperuricemia agent for centuries. Through the in vitro XOD inhibitory assay, we obtained a novel XOD inhibitor, 5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid (#1, 5OCSA) with IC50of 13.96 μM, as well as two known XOD inhibitors, quercetin (#3) and astilbin (#6). Meanwhile, we performed in silico molecular docking and found 5OCSA could interact with the active sites of XOD (PDB ID: 3NVY) with a binding energy of −8.6 kcal/mol, suggesting 5OCSA inhibits XOD by binding with its active site. To evaluate the in vivo effects on XOD, we generated a hyperuricemia mice model by intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate (300 mg/kg) and oral gavage of hypoxanthine (500 mg/kg) for 7 days. 5OCSA could inhibit both hepatic and serum XOD in vivo, together with an improvement of histological and multiple serological parameters in kidney injury and HUA. Collectively, our results suggested that 5OCSA may be developed into a safe and effective XOD inhibitor based on in vitro, in silico and in vivo evidence.Keywords:Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma;5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid;potassium oxonate;hyperuricemia;XOD inhibitor

Mesocrystal zeolite with well-defined morphology owns mesoporous channels and single crystal characteristics, which could promote diffusion efficiency, stability and catalytic activity. Thus, we performed the controllable synthesis of ZSM-5 mesocrystal without special additives and complex methods. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and fast Fourier transform (FFT) showed diffraction spots regardless of crystallization time, which indicated the well oriented feature of synthesized ZSM-5 zeolites. The crystallization process was further investigated. The oriented particle attachment (OPA) effectively guided the synthesis process of mesocrystals, which followed the nonclassical crystallization mechanism. The crystallinity curve exhibited valley-like shape, which manifested that the crystallization pathway went through three stages: fast precipitation, deconstruction and reorganization. The plausible formation mechanism was proposed, which might be useful for the fabrication of ZSM-5 mesocrystal. The prepared zeolites showed superior catalytic performance in aldol condensation reaction between benzaldehyde and 2-hydroxyacetophenone, obtaining 93% of the conversion.

Amphiphilic graphene quantum dots (A-GQDs) reveal prodigious potential application in bioimaging, resulting from their hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, as well as their good biocompatibility and negligible cytotoxicity. Herein, green fluorescent A-GQDs with single-layer graphene structure were prepared by one step of hydrothermal method. The A-GQDs with the average size of 3.5 nm displayed excitation-independent emission due to uniform size. A-GQDs emitted bright fluorescence on the surface of the cell membrane of MCF-7 cells when they were co-cultured with MCF-7 cells, which was similar to that of QSG-7701 cells. The water-soluble pillar[5]arene (WP5) was then incorporated on to the A-GQDs via π-π interaction and electrostatic interaction. There was different labeling imaging effect of MCF-7 and QSG-7701 cells achieved by combining the merits of WP5 and A-GQDs compared with individual A-GQDs. The synthesized composites not only had a certain enhancement in fluorescence, but also constructed a penetrating channel through the cell membrane, so that the entire cell had a distinct imaging. Therefore, these composites might be a potential candidate for applications in visualization of cell membrane and bioimaging.

This paper briefs the emerging strategies for the designing of catalytic systems, which direct conversion of chitin biomass monomer N -acetyl- d -glucosamine (NAG) to 3-acetylamino-5-acetylfuran was studied systemically. Twelve catalysts were investigated, and pyrazine hydrochloride ([Pyz]Cl) ionic liquid exhibited the good performance-achieving 3A5AF with yields of 36.94% from NAG . Further adding boric acid and CaCl 2 , treating at 190 °C for 60 min, the conversion rate of NAG is 100%, and the yield of 3A5AF can be increased to 69.54% in DMA. Furthermore, functional group changes before and after the reaction have been characterized by FTIR, HPLC-MS and 13 C NMR were applied to monitor the reaction process with [Pyz]Cl as the catalyst. The reactive intermediate was clearly detected by these techniques. Accordingly, a possible reaction pathway was proposed. The results of this experiment provide a mild and efficient reaction route for the degradation of biomass, and enrich the theoretical research of quaternary amine catalysts in the conversion of biomass waste into high value-added chemicals.

High-efficiency phosphate removal from wastewater is crucial for protecting environmental stability. In this work, a lanthanum carbonate grafted ZSM-5 adsorbent (LC-ZSM-5) was prepared and optimized by a Box-Behnken design. The higher temperature, molar ratio of urea to lanthanum and initial lanthanum concentration are beneficial for LC-ZSM-5 synthesis, and the adsorption capacity of LC-ZSM-5 under optimistic conditions was 91.2 mg-PO 4 3- /g. The growth mechanism indicates that the LC particles grow larger with synthesis time and finally agglomerate, and 12 h is the best synthesis time. The thermodynamic results show that phosphate adsorption over LC-ZSM-5 is a spontaneously exothermic and combined physicochemical adsorption process. Kinetic studies suggest that higher temperatures help increase the phosphate adsorption rate, and chemical adsorption plays an important role during adsorption with an activation energy E a of 42.7 kJ/mol. The adsorption mechanism of the phosphate uptake process includes electrostatic attraction and ligand exchange, through which LC is changed to lanthanum phosphate (LP) during adsorption. Finally, the regeneration study revealed that LC-ZSM-5 still exhibited a high adsorption capacity after 5 cycles, showing its satisfactory regeneration ability and potential industrial application.

Background: Developing the high-efficiency and low-risk small-molecule greennematocide is the key of effective control of the nematodes. Paeonol, is a naturally occurring phenolic compound, isolated from the root bark of Paeonia suffruticosa and the whole plant of Cynanchum paniculatum.
Due to its crucial phenolic ketone skeleton, modern biological science research has indicated that paeonol has a wide range of biological activities. Methods: The structural modification of paeonol into paeonol carbonyl hydrazone derivatives is a potential approach for the development
of novel nematodes, which showed more toxicity than paeonol. However, there are no reports on the nematicidal activity of paeonol carbonyl hydrazone derivatives to control Heterodera glycines. Results: We always endeavor to discover and develop biorational natural products-based pesticidal
agents, 4 significant intermediates and 21 novel 3/5(3,5)-(di)nitro/chloropaeonol carbonyl hydrazone derivatives were prepared, and their structures well characterized by 1H NMR, HRMS, MS, and mp. Due to the steric hindrance, the substituents on the C=N double bond of
all hydrazine compounds adopted E configuration. Results of nematicidal activity revealed that, among all compounds, especially 5-nitropaeonol (5) and 3,5-dinitropaeonol (7) displayed the most potent nematicidal activity H. glycines in vivo with LC50 values of 0.0323
and 0.0367 mg/mL, respectively. Conclusion: It suggested that for the 3/5(3,5)-(di)nitro/chloropaeonol carbonyl hydrazone derivatives, a nitro group introduced at C5 position of 1 was necessary for obtaining the potent compound as nematicidal agents. These preliminary results will pave
the way for further modification of paeonol in the development of potential new nematicides.

A base-free catalytic system for the aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural was exploited by using Pt nanoparticles immobilized onto a thermoresponsive poly(acrylamide- co -acrylonitrile)- b -poly( N -vinylimidazole) block copolymer, with an upper critical solution temperature of about 45 °C. The Pt nanocatalysts were well-dispersed and highly active for the base-free oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural by molecular oxygen in water, affording high yields of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (up to >99.9%). The imidazole groups in the block copolymer were conducive to the improvement of catalytic performance. Moreover, the catalysts could be easily separated and recovered based on their thermosensitivity by cooling the reaction system below the upper critical solution temperature. Good stability and reusability were observed over these copolymer-immobilized catalysts with no obvious decrease in catalytic activity in the five consecutive cycles.

Series of 10% MnO x /HZSM-5 catalysts with different zeolitic Si/Al ratios were prepared by an incipient impregnation method and evaluated for the catalytic oxidation of toluene. Characterization results indicated that all catalysts exhibited similar textural and redox properties but variable surface acidity. Catalytic testing results showed that the catalytic activities over these catalysts followed a descending order of 10% MnO x /HZSM-5-25 > 10% MnO x /HZSM-5-50 > 10% MnO x /HZSM-5-75, where 10% MnO x /HZSM-5-25 exhibited the optimum catalytic activity and excellent catalytic durability under dry condition and good water-resistant ability under humid condition. A good linear relationship between the toluene conversion efficiency (TOF Mn ) and the total acidity over MnO x /HZSM-5 catalysts was obtained, which revealed the crucial role and promotional effect of zeolitic acidity acting as a promoter on the catalytic activity for toluene oxidation.

Abstract The present study focuses on the improvement of desulfurization rate in the oxidative desulfurization using hierarchical CoAPO-5 molecular sieve as a catalyst by response surface method. Firstly, the catalytic properties of microporous and hierarchical CoAPO-5 were compared, and hierarchical CoAPO-5 with better catalytic performance was selected for further investigation. Then, the reaction conditions were further optimized by response surface method. In the response surface method, five factors including reaction temperature, reaction time, catalyst dosage, extractant dosage and oxidant dosage affecting desulfurization rate were screened and the conditions for oxidative desulfurization were optimizing by applying Box–Behnken design. The fitting second-order polynomial equation, which was based on experimental results, was employed to predict desulfurization rate and verified by model diagnostic plots. According to the T and P values in the analysis of variance, it is found that the fitting model is significant, and the interaction between reaction temperature, reaction time, and extractant dosage is significant. The optimal conditions for oxidative desulfurization were found through three-dimensional surface and two-contour graph. In this case, the desulfurization rate reached 79.8%.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is one of the most important platform chemicals in biorefinery. In this work, an effective and green route for 5-HMF production in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was demonstrated using extremely low concentration of hydrochloric acid as the catalyst. Moreover, the DES/acetonitrile (MeCN) biphasic reaction system adopted in this research showed excellent recyclability, which could be directly reused for multiple times without downgrading of the 5-HMF yield.

The classic acrylonitrile (AN) electrohydrodimerization (EHD) to adiponitrile (ADN) process produces oxygen on the anode side. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is energy consuming, and O2is of low value and has security issues while directly contacting with organic molecules. Herein, by replacing OER with 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation reaction (HMFOR), we report paired electrolysis of AN and HMF for simultaneous generation of ADN and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). On the anode side, the electrodeposited amorphous NiMoP film-covered nickel foam efficiently boosted HMFOR activity by enlarging the electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) via in situ selective removal of Mo and P on the surface. On the cathode side, addition of dimethylformamide (DMF) as a cosolvent enhanced the reaction efficiency of ANEHD by forming a single-phase electrolyte that offers better interaction between AN and the electrode. The ANEHD–HMFOR paired system shows excellent generation rates of FDCA (0.018 gFDCA·h−1·cm−2) and ADN (0.017 gADN·h−1·cm−2) at a high cell current (160 mA). An amount of 1 kWh of electricity can produce 2.91 mol of ADN and 0.53 mol of FDCA with 107.1% Faraday efficiency.Keywords:paired electrolysis;5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation;acrylonitrile electrohydrodimerization;adiponitrile;2,5-furandicarboxylic acid;dimethylformamide cosolvent

In this research, we investigated the hydrophobicity and dynamic adsorption-desorption behaviors of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by applying different optimized coating dosage (25, 50, and 75%) on designed novel ZSM-5/MCM-41 and ZSM-5/Silicalite-1 hierarchical composites. The relatively large specific surface area and pore volume of adsorbents ZSM-5/MCM-41 and ZSM-5/Silicalite-1 composites with excellent stability were affirmed by ex-situ XRD, FTIR, BET, SEM, and water contact angle analyses. Regarding, toluene adsorption-desorption investigation, ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite lead a longer stable toluene breakthrough time no matter under dry or 50% humid conditions. However, under different loading dosage condition, the breakthrough time of 75% coating ratio was the longest, which was 1.6 times as long as that of pure ZSM-5 under wet adsorption. Meanwhile, the complete elimination of toluene for ZSM-5/MCM-41-75% was done by largest desorption peak area and the lowest desorption temperature of 101.9°C, while, the largest contact angle of ZSM-5/MCM-41-75% was 17.0° higher than pure ZSM-5 zeolite. Therefore, we believe that the present hydrophobic sorbent will provide new insight with great research potential for removing low concentration of VOCs at industrial scale.
