A catalytic coupling reaction between 4-amino antipyrine and a N,N-disubstituted aniline derivative has been exploited in the indirect electrochemical detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and of a biomimetic catalyst, the iron(III) sulfonated tetraphenyl porphyrin. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide and one of the two catalysts a cationic electroactive quinone-iminium dye P+ was formed and detected by linear scan voltammetry using a screen-printed electrode coated with a Nafion film. Detection limits of 10(-12) M for HRP and 4 x 10(-10) M for the iron porphyrin have been achieved. In conclusion the iron porphyrin is considered to be a promising alternative to the HRP label in enzyme immunoassays with electrochemical detection.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) primarily relies on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to eliminate tumor cells. However, the elevated levels of glutathione (GSH) within tumor cells can limit the efficacy of PDT, posing a challenge to achieve complete tumor eradication. Herein, a porous iron-based metal-organic frameworks (PEG-Fe-MOFs) nanoplatform was developed for the combined application of PDT and ferroptosis in cancer treatment.

To efficiently capture, activate, and transform small molecules, metalloenzymes have evolved to integrate a well-organized pocket around the active metal center. Within this cavity, second coordination sphere functionalities are precisely positioned to optimize the rate, selectivity, and energy cost of catalytic reactions. Inspired by this strategy, an artificial distal pocket defined by a preorganized 3D strap is introduced on an iron-porphyrin catalyst (sc-Fe) for the CO-to-CO electrocatalytic reduction.

Background & Aims: Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is caused by mutations in ferrochelatase which inserts iron into protoporphyrin-IX (PP-IX) to generate heme. EPP is characterized by PP-IX accumulation, skin photosensitivity, cholestasis, and end-stage liver disease. Despite available drugs that address photosensitivity, treatment of EPP-related liver disease remains an unmet need.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) eradicates tumor cells by the light-stimulated reactive oxygen species, which also induces lipid peroxidation (LPO) and subsequently ferroptosis, an iron-depended cell death. Ferroptosis has a tremendous therapeutic potential in cancer treatment, however, the ferroptosis efficiency is largely limited by the available iron in cells. Through hijacking the CD44-mediated iron endocytosis of hyaluronan (HA), here PDT with enhanced ferroptosis was realized by a HA@Ce6 nanogel self-assembled from HA, a photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6) and Fe as cross-linkers.

Molecular catalysts with a single metal center are reported to reduce CO to a wide range of valuable single-carbon products like CO, HCOOH, CHOH, etc. However, these catalysts cannot reduce CO to two carbon products like ethane or ethylene and the ability to form C-C from CO remains mostly limited to heterogeneous material-based catalysts. We report a set of simple iron porphyrins with pendant thiol group can catalyze the reduction of CO to ethane (CH) with HO as the proton source with a Faradaic yield >40% the rest being CO.
