Entacapone was reacted with phosphorous oxychloride in dry pyridine to yield a phosphate ester. The phosphate promoiety increased aqueous solubility of the parent drug by more than 1700- and 20-fold at pH 1.2 and 7.4, respectively. The phosphate ester provides adequate stability (t(1/2) = 2227 h; pH 7.4) towards chemical hydrolysis, and allowed for release of the parent drug via enzymatic hydrolysis in liver homogenate.

Few epidemiological evidence has focused on the impact of organophosphate esters (OPEs) and the risk of eczema, and underlying role of gut microbiota. Based on the Shanghai Maternal-Child Pairs Cohort, a nested case-control study including 332 eczema cases and 332 controls was conducted. Umbilical cord blood and stools were collected for OPEs detection and gut microbiota sequencing, separately.

Hundreds of new flame retardants (NFRs) are widely used, causing environmental pollution and threating human health. In this study, based on the interaction of NFRs and human serum albumin (HSA), we assessed the differences in potential human accumulation of 8 NFRs including 1,2-Dibromo-4-(1,2-dibromoethyl)cyclohexane (TBECH), tetrabromobisphenol A bis(dibromopropyl ether) (TBBPA-DBPE), 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP), pentabromophenol (PBP), tri-n-butyl phosphate (TnBP), triphenyl phosphate (TPP), Tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), and Tri(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCP). All NFRs could bind to HSA and cause slight damage to its structure, suggesting their potential human accumulation ability.

Background: Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is the main bioactive component of poplar type propolis. We previously reported that treatment with caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) suppressed the cell proliferation, tumor growth, as well as migration and invasion of prostate cancer (PCa) cells via inhibition of signaling pathways of AKT, c-Myc, Wnt and EGFR. We also demonstrated that combined treatment of CAPE and docetaxel altered the genes involved in glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.

The term "aerophilic surface" is used to describe superhydrophobic surfaces in the Cassie-Baxter wetting state that can trap air underwater. To create aerophilic surfaces, it is essential to achieve a synergy between a low surface energy coating and substrate surface roughness. While a variety of techniques have been established to create surface roughness, the development of rapid, scalable, low-cost, waste-free, efficient, and substrate-geometry-independent processes for depositing low surface energy coatings remains a challenge.
