Article Synopsis
- - Natural glauconite was exfoliated to create methoxy exfoliated glauconite (Mth/EXG), which was tested for its ability to adsorb water contaminants like phosphate, safranin-O dye, and cadmium ions.
- - Mth/EXG demonstrated impressive adsorption capacities: 269.9 mg/g for phosphate, 312 mg/g for safranin-O, and 234.5 mg/g for cadmium, outperforming more expensive adsorbents.
- - The adsorption processes were governed by physical mechanisms such as hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, and the reactions were spontaneous and exothermic, indicating strong interactions with the pollutants even in complex chemical environments.
This study evaluates the inhibitory potential of terpenoids isolated from Artemisia annua against carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), a crucial enzyme overexpressed in hypoxic tumor environments. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, we utilized in vitro assays, enzyme kinetics, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to comprehensively assess the efficacy of these compounds. Among the terpenoids tested, manool emerged as the most potent inhibitor, exhibiting the lowest IC value of 160.

Ven Cobb broiler chicks (240 day-old male chicks) were distributed randomly into four treatments, each replicated four times, with 15 birds per replicate. The diets formulated were T1 (control) given basal diet only, T2 (basal diet +1.

- A new core-shell nanostructure combining zinc-phosphate and hydroxyapatite (ZP/HP) was developed and enhanced using chitosan and β-cyclodextrin, improving its properties for drug delivery.
- *The modified structures showed significantly better loading capacity for the cancer drug 5-fluorouracil, with rates reaching up to 342.8 mg/g compared to the original 238.9 mg/g of ZP/HP.
- *These functionalized carriers not only released the drug more effectively over time but also increased its toxicity against colorectal cancer cells, with much lower cell viability observed in the presence of the modified compounds.*
In this study, the effect of the Streptomyces misakiensis metabolite (α- sitosterol, 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg/kg) dietary supplementation on growth performance, antioxidant-immune stability and Candida albicans resistance of Nile tilapia was evaluated. The results revealed that the incorporation of α-sitosterol at doses of 60 and 80 mg/kg into the diet significantly improved the growth rate of Nile tilapia. The fish receiving 80 mg/kg showed an increased level of high-density lipoprotein, total protein, globulin, and albumin, and significantly reduced levels of indicators of hepato-renal damage, glucose, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol.
