A series of xanthine mimetics containing 5,5 and 5,6 heterocycle fused imidazoles were synthesized as dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors. Compound 7 is potent (h-DPPIV K(i)=2nM) and exhibits excellent selectivity and no species specificity against rat and human enzymes. The X-ray structure confirms that the binding mode of 7 to rat DPPIV is similar to the parent xanthines.

Synthetic enzyme mimics surpass their natural counterparts in terms of stability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, making them highly valuable for catalytic applications. Gold nanomaterials, particularly gold nanostars, have emerged as promising enzyme mimetic nanocatalysts due to their enhanced light interaction and superior catalytic efficiency. In this study, gold nanostars grown on the surface of core-shell hydrogel beads exhibited specific oxidase-like activity when exposed to light.

Copper-based nanomaterials have the properties of mimetic enzymes and can be used as excellent candidates for colorimetric sensing due to their environmental friendliness, low cost, and high abundance. In this paper, Ni-doped CuO nano cauliflower (Ni-CuO) was synthesized for the first time and applied to the detection of HO and uric acid (UA) in human serum and urine. It was found that the proportion of Ni incorporation controls the morphology and the catalytic effect of Ni-CuO.

We evaluated reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulation of cutaneous vasodilation during local and whole body passive heating in young and older adults. Cutaneous vascular conductance normalized to maximum vasodilation (%CVC) was assessed in young and older adults (10/group) using laser-Doppler flowmetry at four dorsal forearm sites treated with ) Ringer solution (control), ) 100 µM apocynin (NADPH oxidase inhibitor), ) 10 µM allopurinol (xanthine oxidase inhibitor), or ) 10 µM tempol (superoxide dismutase mimetic), via intradermal microdialysis during local () and whole body heating (). In , forearm skin sites were set at 33°C during baseline and then progressively increased to 39°C and 42°C (30 min each).

The timely detection of freshness changes of aquatic products is crucial. In this study, we have developed a reliable, cost-effective, and user-friendly method for rapidly detecting hypoxanthine using a xanthine oxidase (XOD)/nanozyme enzymatic cascade system. The nanozyme, derived from the Fe/Ni metal-organic framework (FeNiMOF), exhibited good peroxidase-mimetic activity and stability.

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials that integrate metallic conductivity, catalytic activity and the ability to stabilize biological receptors provide unique capabilities for designing electrochemical biosensors for large-scale detection and diagnostic applications. Herein, we report a multifunctional MXene-based 2D nanostructure decorated with enzyme mimetic cerium oxide nanoparticle (MXCeO) as a novel platform and catalytic amplifier for electrochemical biosensors, specifically targeting the detection of oxidase enzyme substrates. We demonstrate enhanced catalytic efficiency of the MXCeO for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (HO) and its ability to immobilize oxidase enzymes, such as glucose oxidase, lactate oxidase and xanthine oxidase.
