The activity and stability of laccase and their kinetic mechanisms in water soluble ionic liquids (ILs): 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride [C(4)mim][Cl], 1-octyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride [C(8)mim][Cl], and 1-decyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride [C(10)mim][Cl] were investigated. The results show that an IL concentration up to 10% is satisfactory for initial laccase activity at pH 9.0. The laccase stability was well maintained in [C(4)mim][Cl] IL when compared to the control. The inactivation of laccase increases with the length of the alkyl chain in the IL: [C(10)mim][Cl] > [C(8)mim][Cl] > [C(4)mim][Cl]. The kinetic studies in the presence of ABTS as substrate allowed calculating the Michaelis-Menten parameters. Among the ILs, [C(4)mim][Cl] was the suitable choice attending to laccase activity and stability. Alkyl chains in the ions of ILs have a deactivating effect on laccase, which increases strongly with the length of the alkyl chain.

This study aims to study how gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) function in the recruitment and polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Phorbol ester (PMA)-treated THP-1 cells were cocultured with LNCaP or PC3 cells to simulate TAMs. Macrophage M2 polarization levels were detected using flow cytometry and M2 marker determination.

Enhancing both ionic conductivity and mechanical robustness remains a major challenge in designing solid-state electrolytes for lithium batteries. This work presents a novel approach in designing mechanically robust and highly conductive solid-state electrolytes, which involves ionic liquid-based cross-linked polymer networks incorporating polymeric ionic liquids (PILs). First, linear PILs with different side groups were synthesized for optimizing the structure.

N,O-Heterocyclic ligands such as 2,9-diamide-1,10-phenanthroline dicarboxamide (DAPhen) and bis-lactam-1,10-phenanthroline (BLPhen) exhibit excellent separation performance for Am(III) and Eu(III) in high-level liquid waste. However, DAPhen-based ligands show poor extraction capacity, and BLPhen ligands suffer from decomposition in acidic solutions, which hinders their application in practical separation processes. To develop ligands with superior performance, two new completely preorganized and highly stabilized bis-lactam-1,10-phenanthroline (BLPhen) ligands with varying alkyl chain lengths were synthesized, demonstrating exceptional extraction and separation of Am(III) from Eu(III) with maximum separation factors of 68 and 53, respectively.

The discovery of novel anti-cancer drugs motivated us to synthesize a new series of triple 1,2,3-triazole-based arm scaffolds featuring distinct un functionalized alkyl and/or aryl side chains with possible anti-cancer action using the click chemistry approach under both conventional and green microwave irradiation (MWI) methods. The Cu(I) catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of targeted tris-alkyne with un functionalized aliphatic and aromatic azides has been adopted as an efficient approach for synthesizing the desired click adducts. Microwave irradiation improved the synthetic processes, resulting in higher yields and faster reaction times.

As a special kind of supramolecular compound with many favorable properties, pillar[]arene-based supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs) show potential application in many fields. Although we have come a long way using pillar[]arene to prepare SPNs and construct a series of smart materials, it remains a challenge to enhance the mechanical strength of pillar[]arene-based SPNs. To address this issue, a new supramolecular regulation strategy was developed, which could precisely control the preparation of pillar[]arene-based SPN materials with excellent mechanical properties by adjusting the polymer network structures.
