Temperature-controlled reactivity places Bandrowski's base 3 at the crossroads of a new versatile strategy for the preparation of two different categories of chromophores. We describe the access to a new class of quinonediimines (8) with an extended pi-conjugation owing to the presence of imine functions. Under slightly different conditions, Bandrowski's base appears to be the precursor of choice in the preparation of a novel pH- and light-dependent binary molecular switch. This molecule (11) is constituted of a benzobis(imidazole) core that can be reversibly protonated and a diarylethene unit which can be reversibly converted into its closed form upon irradiation. Triggered by two independent variables, 11 provides four distinct optical states for molecular number processing.

The widespread adoption and commercialization of lateral flow assays (LFAs) for clinical diagnosis have been hindered by limitations in sensitivity, specificity, and the absence of quantitative data. To address these challenges, we developed aptamer-architectured gold nanoparticles as nanozymes that catalytically convert -phenylenediamine (PPD) into Bandrowski's base (BB), thereby amplifying signal strength and sensitivity. The physiochemical properties of the nanozymes were characterized and their specific binding efficiency was demonstrated using experimental studies.

In vitro preclinical drug-induced liver injury (DILI) risk assessment relies largely on the use of hepatocytes to measure drug-specific changes in cell function or viability. Unfortunately, this does not provide indications toward the immunogenicity of drugs and/or the likelihood of idiosyncratic reactions in the clinic. This is because the molecular initiating event in immune DILI is an interaction of the drug-derived antigen with MHC proteins and the T-cell receptor.

The compatibility of crystallinity, stability, and functionality in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is challenging but significant in reticular chemistry and materials science. Herein, it is presented for the first time a strategy to synthesize directly amino-functionalized COF with stable benzodiimidazole linkage by regioselective one-step cyclization and aromatization. Bandrowski's base with two types of amino groups is used as a unique monomer, providing not only construction sites for the material framework through specific region-selective reaction, but also amino active sites for functionality, which is usually difficult to achieve directly in COF synthesis because amino groups are the participants in COF bonding.

MiRNAs are non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Although allergic contact dermatitis has been studied extensively, few studies addressed miRNA expression and their role in dendritic cell activation. The main aim of this work was to investigate the role of miRNAs in the underlying mechanism of dendritic cell maturation induced by contact sensitizers of different potency.

A highly sensitive fluorescence-based assay for cholesterol detection was developed using water-dispersible green-emitting silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) as a fluorescence indicator and enzyme-catalyzed oxidation product PPDox (Bandrowski's base) as a quencher. The SiNPs were facilely synthesized via a simple, one-step hydrothermal treatment using 3-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino]propyl-trimethoxysilane (AEEA) as the silicon source, which has ultrahigh quantum yield and low phototoxicity. Under the catalysis of cholesterol oxidase (ChOx), hydrogen peroxide (HO) was generated as a result of cholesterol oxidation.
