Hydrophobicity is associated with drug transport across membranes and is expressed as the partition coefficient log P for neutral drugs and the distribution coefficient log D for acidic and basic drugs. The log P and log D predictions are deductively (or with artificial intelligence) estimated as the sum of the partial contributions of the scaffold and substituents of a single molecule and are used widely and affirmatively. However, their predictions have not always been comprehensively accurate beyond scaffold differences.

Microbial biotransformation of trace organic chemicals (TOrCs) is an essential process in wastewater treatment to eliminate environmental pollution. Understanding TOrC biotransformation mechanisms, especially at their original concentrations, is important to optimize treatment performance, whereas our current knowledge is limited. Here, we investigated the biotransformation of seven TOrCs by 24 model communities.

Gemini surfactants (GS) could serve as the drug carrier agents for the delivery of macromolecules due to the excellent properties and tuneable structures. Little attention has been paid to the impact of counterion change on GS and the interaction between GS and protein. In this work, ibuprofen (Ibu) replaced quaternary ammonium ion GS (GS-Ibu) with the hydrophobic chain length of 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 carbon atoms were prepared for the first-time using extraction technology.

Introduction: Small vulnerable newborns (SVNs) are at an increased risk of early death and other morbidities. Essential interventions provided to SVN, and other high-risk newborns have been proven critical in improving their outcomes. We aimed to provide an update on the effectiveness and safety of these interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Since the onset of COVID-19, respiratory diseases have emerged as a focal concern within the field of public health. This study aims to reveal the prevalence of acute respiratory infectious diseases by screening antipyretic, antiviral, and antibiotic biomarkers through wastewater analysis. Samples were collected over a seven-day period each year in 2022, 2023, and 2024 from a northern city in China, assessing the concentrations of two antipyretics (paracetamol and ibuprofen), one antiviral drug (oseltamivir), eleven antibiotics, and three pathogens (influenza A, influenza B, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae).
