This study investigated the stability of meoru (wild vine grape) anthocyanins in the aqueous solution under singlet oxygen. Freeze-dried meoru (1 kg) contained 179.98 mg anthocyanins including delphinidin-3-glucoside, malvidin-3,5-diglucoside, cyanidin-3,5-diglucoside, malvidin-3-glucoside, and cyanidin-3-glucoside. Malvidin-3,5-diglucoside and cyanidin-3-glucoside were the meoru anthocyanins at the highest and the lowest concentration, respectively. Little decrease in total anthocyanins in the aqueous solution was observed in the dark with or without riboflavin, or with light without riboflavin. Singlet oxygen degraded the meoru anthocyanins in the aqueous solution, which suggested chemical quenching of singlet oxygen by the anthocyanins. Degradation of the meoru anthocyanins was structure-dependent; diglucoside anthocyanins were more stable than monoglucoside. And malvidin glucoside was more stable than delphinidin or cyanidin glucoside, which suggested the number of hydroxy groups in the structure was partly related with the anthocyanin stability under singlet oxygen. This is the first report on anthocyanins stability affected by its structure under singlet oxygen.

Direct electrochemical detection of miRNA biomarkers in tumor tissue interstitial fluid (TIF) holds great promise for adjuvant therapy for tumors in the perioperative period, yet is limited by background interference and weak signal. Herein, a wash-free and separation-free miRNA biosensor based on photoexcited electro-driven reactive oxygen channeling analysis (LEOCA) is developed to solve the high-fidelity detection in physiological samples. In the presence of miRNA, nanoacceptors (ultrasmall-size polydopamine, uPDA) are responsively assembled on the surface of nanodonors (zirconium metal-organic framework, ZrMOF) to form core-satellite aggregates.

Hybrid hydrogels are promising for wound dressing, tissue engineering, and drug delivery due to their exceptional biocompatibility and mechanical stability. This study synthesized hybrid hydrogels for photodynamic therapy using electron beam-initiated polymerization with varying PEGDA/gelatin ratios and irradiation doses to evaluate their effectiveness as uptake and release systems for five photosensitizers. Toluidine blue, O (TBO); methylene blue (MB); eosin, Y; indocyanine, green; and sodium meso-tetraphenylporphine-4,4',4″,4‴-tetrasulfonate were studied for their uptake and release dynamics in relation to their structural properties and the hydrogels' composition.

Complex organic molecules are widespread in different areas of the interstellar medium, including cold areas, such as molecular clouds, where chemical reactions occur in ice. Among the observed molecules are oxygen-bearing organic molecules, which are of high interest given their significant role in astrobiology. Despite the observed rich chemistry, the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for molecular formation in such cold dilute areas are still not fully understood.

: To assess the anticancer effect of microbubbles (MBs) in combination with sinoporphyrin sodium (DVDMS)-mediated sonodynamic therapy (SDT) for the in vitro and in vivo treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). : HepG2 cells were used for in vitro experiments. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was detected using 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate and singlet oxygen sensor green in vitro and in solution, respectively.

Cobalt-based metal-organic framework (MOFs)-derived catalysts are acknowledged for their effectiveness in activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the treatment of persistent pollutants. However, the limited adsorption of PMS on the catalyst surface markedly reduces its degradation efficiency. To overcome this limitation, nanoflower-like EuO/CoO-0.
