A novel cyclic peroxide, shuangkangsu (1), has been obtained from the water extract of the buds of Lonicera japonica (Thunb.). The structure was elucidated as 5,8-divinyl-1,4-dihydro-1,4-di-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-2,3-dioxane (1) on the basis of the spectral data. Its absolute stereochemistry was determined to be (1S, 4S) by comparison of its CD curves with those of its optically pure analogs 2 and 3, which were synthesized from the phthalaldehyde. The absolute configurations of 2 and 3 were determined to be (1R, 4R) and (1S, 4S) by X-ray analysis and CD spectra, respectively. Compound 1 showed significant antiviral activities against influenza virus in chicken embryo and respiratory syncytial virus in cells.

In this study, a simple and easy synthesis strategy to realize the modification of AuHgPt nanoalloy materials on the surface of ITO glass at room temperature is presented. Gold nanoparticles as templates were obtained by electrochemical deposition, mercury was introduced as an intermediate to form an amalgam, and then a galvanic replacement reaction was utilized to successfully prepare gold-mercury-platinum (AuHgPt) nanoalloys. The obtained alloys were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.

Significant progress has been made in the development of potential therapies for diseases associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. Nevertheless, the availability of effective clinical treatments remains limited. Herein, we introduce a novel silk-based bioactive material, TPSF, developed by sequentially conjugating Tempol and phenylboronic acid pinacol ester to silk fibroin.

Background: Cardiomyocyte oxidative stress significantly contributes to the progression of hypertension-induced heart failure, highlighting the need for targeted therapies. We developed a novel peptide, NPA7, that coactivates the GC-A (guanylyl cyclase A)/cGMP and MasR (Mas receptor)/cAMP pathway. This study aimed to test NPA7's ability to inhibit oxidative stress by modulating the p62-KEAP1 (Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1)-NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) pathway in human cardiomyocytes (HCMs) and a rat model of hypertension.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Catalase (CAT) play a crucial role as the first line of defense antioxidant enzymes in a living cell. These enzymes neutralize the superoxide anion from the autooxidation of oxyhemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) and convert hydrogen peroxides into water and molecular oxygen. In this study, we fabricated hemoglobin submicron particles (HbMPs) using the Coprecipitation Crosslinking Dissolution (CCD) technique and incorporating first-line antioxidant enzymes (CAT, SOD) and second-line antioxidant (ascorbic acid, Vit.
