We used human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) cultures to investigate in vitro the antiproliferative effects of suramin and of its analogue, Eriochrome Black T. The cell cycle phases of interest were characterised with specific immune sera raised against cyclin D(1), cyclin E and proliferating nuclear cell antigen (PCNA). Simultaneous detection of two cell cycle markers was ensured by double colour immunofluorescence. Both compounds inhibited the endothelial cell growth while Eriochrome Black T was more potent than suramin. Suramin induced HUVEC to accumulate in G1-phase as an increase of the number of cells expressing both cyclin D(1) and PCNA was observed. Eriochrome Black T preferentially blocked them in the early S-phase, as it increased the proportion of cyclin E positive cells. These results suggest that in addition of its more potent antiproliferative effect on endothelial cell growth, Eriochrome Black T acts at another molecular level than suramin.

Fenton reactions, commonly employed in environmental remediation, decompose H₂O₂ using Fe⁺ to generate free radicals. However, the efficiency is often limited by the slow conversion of Fe³⁺ to Fe⁺. In this study, we synthesize zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) via a green, plant extract-mediated reduction method, resulting in nZVI coated with a reductive polyphenolic layer that enhances Fe³⁺/Fe⁺ cycling.

Platanus officinalis fibers (PFs) taking advantage of high-availability, eco-friendly and low-cost characteristics have attracted significant focus in the field of biomaterial application. Polyethyleneimine grafted with polydopamine on magnetic Platanus officinalis fibers (PEI-PDA@M-PFs) were prepared through a two-step process of mussel inspiration and the Michael addition reaction, which can work as an effective multifunctional biomass adsorbent for anionic dye with outstanding separation capacity and efficiency. The as-prepared PEI-PDA@M-PFs possess desirable hydrophilicity, magnetism and positive charge, along with abundant amino functional groups on the surface, facilitating efficient adsorption and the removal of Eriochrome Black T (EBT) dyes from water.

Nowadays, textile industries are one of the major contributors to water pollution, causing a devastating impact on aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the impact of a textile azo dye, Eriochrome Black T (EBT), on the liver of a freshwater fish, Clarias batrachus. Fish were exposed to three concentrations of EBT, i.
