The thermodynamic and electrostatic properties of antifungal triazole and imidazole derivatives: itraconazole, fluconazole, miconazole and ketoconazole molecules were calculated. The main aim of our investigations was to identify molecular determinants that have an effect on bioavailability of studied compounds. This is solvation energy estimated by the DeltaG values as well as electrostatic properties of the molecules. The influence of another substituents was also considered. The presented values are discriminative and reflect very low solubility of ketoconazole in water in comparison with other molecules. The thermodynamic and electrostatic properties of molecules appeared to be good indicators of bioavailability of compounds studied here and they are likely to be used as screening parameters in Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) development.

TEMPO-CNF film modified by two-dimension transition metal MXene has certain antibacterial properties. However, the problem of long-lasting stability greatly restricts the feasibility of long-term use of the composite film. Here, we introduced polyaniline (PANI) as a modifying molecule, which was electrostatically adsorbed on the surface of the MXene nanosheets to prevent its self-stacking and delay its oxidation.

We developed antibiotic-based micelles with bone-targeting and charge-switchable properties (P-CASMs) for treating infectious osteomyelitis. The amphiphilic molecules are formed by combining ciprofloxacin (CIP) with ligand 1 through a mild salifying reaction, and spontaneously self-assemble into antibiotic-based micelles (ASMs) in aqueous solution. Acrylate groups on ligand 1 enable cross-linking of ASMs with pentaerythritol tetra(mercaptopropionate) via a click reaction, forming pH-sensitive cross-linked micelles (CASMs).

Piezoelectric polymer textiles offer distinct advantages in the fabrication of wearable nanogenerators (NGs). One effective strategy to enhance the output capacity of NGs is to modulate the piezoelectric performance of the textiles. This paper focuses on further improving the piezoelectric properties of nylon-11,11 textiles through post-drawing and annealing treatments.

Background/objectives: Aronia extract or its active compounds, especially anthocyanin, have shown potential for Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related pathologies, including neuroinflammation, fibrillogenesis of amyloid beta (Aβ), and cognitive impairment. However, there was still concern about their structural instability in vivo and in vitro. To solve the instability of anthocyanins, we combined aronia bioactive factions (ABFs) and alginic acid via electrostatic molecular interactions and created an ABF-alginic acid nanocomplex (AANCP).

Electrospinning Membrane with Polyacrylate Mixed Beta-Cyclodextrin: An Efficient Adsorbent for Cationic Dyes.

Polymers (Basel)

January 2025

Institute of Textile Auxiliary and Ecological Dyeing Finishing, Nanjing Tech University, 30 South Puzhu Road, Nanjing 211816, China.

A simple and non-chemical binding nanofiber (-CD/PA) adsorbent was obtained by electrospinning a mixture of -cyclodextrin (-CD) and polyacrylate (PA). The cationic dyes in wastewater were removed by the host-guest inclusion complex of the -cyclodextrin and the electrostatic interaction between the polyacrylate and the dyes groups. The influence of the content of -cyclodextrin on the surface morphology and adsorption capacity of the nanofiber membrane was discussed, and the optimized adsorption capacity of nanofiber adsorption material was determined.
