Europium (III) complex with anthracene-9-carboxylic acid (9-AA) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, and TG-DTG techniques. The results indicated that the composition of this complex is Eu (9-AA)(3). The luminescence properties of the complex in different solvents and at different pH values have been investigated. The results show that the complex exhibits more efficient luminescence in THF and ethyl acetate. The interactions of Eu-complex with different N-acetyl amino acids and nucleotides in different solvents have been investigated by fluorescence measurements. Enhancement of the fluorescence intensities has been observed in cyclohexane, acetone, acetonitrile, and tetrahydrofuran whereas the fluorescence intensities of the investigated complex in ethanol, water, and ethyl acetate exhibit relatively low intensity.

A compound fruit drink (CFD) is a functional beverage containing fruits, Chinese herbal medicine, and prebiotic fructose. Previous studies have shown the effect of a CFD on alleviating constipation and its impact on gut microbiota. However, a comprehensive analysis has not been reported in regard to the serum metabolism of CFDs.

Melatonin (Mel) is a tryptophan-derived (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) molecule. In the present study, role of Mel in the regulation of various anaplerotic enzymes is discussed in relation to N metabolism and H-ATPase activity in mung bean under Cd stress. The application of Mel to the Cd-stressed mung bean seedlings was remarkable in improving the activity of hexokinase (35.

L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1, SLC7A5), overexpressed in various cancers, mediates the uptake of essential amino acids crucial for tumor growth. It has emerged as a promising target for cancer therapy. Nanvuranlat (JPH203/KYT-0353), a LAT1 inhibitor, has shown antitumor activity in preclinical studies and efficacy in biliary tract cancer during clinical trials.

These herbicides give rise to a number of key metabolites, with 3-methyl phosphinicopropionic acid (MPPA), -acetyl glufosinate (-acetyl GLUF), aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA), -acetyl aminomethyl phosphonic acid (-acetyl AMPA), -acetyl glyphosate (-acetyl GLY), -methyl glyphosate (-methyl GLY) as the major metabolites obtained from GLUF and GLY. Extensive use of these herbicides may lead to their increased presence in the environment, especially aquatic ecosystems.

Biomarkers for ischemic stroke (IS) are yet to fulfill clinical requirements. This study used non-targeted metabolomics to investigate differential metabolites and metabolic pathways in plasma and brain tissue following IS, with the aim of identifying new potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Twelve Tibetan miniature pigs were randomly assigned to a model- or sham-operation group.
