The coordination of carbohydrate to metal ions is important because it may be involved in many biochemical processes. The synthesis and characterization of several novel lanthanide-erythritol complexes (TbCl(3)·1.5C(4)H(10)O(4)·H(2)O (TbE(I)), Pr(NO(3))(3)·C(4)H(10)O(4)·2H(2)O (PrEN), Ce(NO(3))(3)·C(4)H(10)O(4)·2H(2)O (CeEN), Y(NO(3))(3)·C(4)H(10)O(4)·C(2)H(5)OH (YEN), Gd(NO(3))(3)·C(4)H(10)O(4)·C(2)H(5)OH (GdEN)) and Tb(NO(3))(3)·C(4)H(10)O(4)·C(2)H(5)OH (TbEN) are reported. The structures of these complexes in the solid state have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Erythritol is used as two bidentate ligands or as three hydroxyl group donor in these complexes. FTIR spectra indicate that two kinds of structures, with water and without water involved in the coordination sphere, were observed for lanthanide nitrate-erythritol complexes. FIR and THz spectra show the formation of metal ion-erythritol complexes. Luminescence spectra of Tb-erythritol complexes have the characteristics of the Tb ion.

Oxidation of thia-pentapyrrane S-P4 with terminal β-linked pyrrole and thiophene units in the presence of various metal ions has been found to afford distinct porphyrinoids. Specifically, N-confused thiasapphyrin (1), Cu(III) norrole (2), neo-confused phlorin (3), and p-benzinorrole (4) were obtained, when S-P4 was oxidized with p-chloranil in acetonitrile in the presence of Ni2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, and Co2+, respectively. The structures of 1-4 have been clearly elucidated by NMR spectroscopy, HRMS, and X-ray crystal diffraction (for 2-4).

Nowadays, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been emerged as an efficient platform for enzyme immobilization due to their high porosity, tunability, and chemical versatility. In this study, a series of hybrid lipase@NKMOF-101-M (M = Mg, Mn, Zn, Co, or Ni) biocatalysts were constructed through a facile in situ encapsulation method, and the encapsulation and immobilization of lipase in MOFs were carefully validated. The catalytic activity of lipase@NKMOF-101-Mn was 2-fold higher than that of lipase@ZIF-8 and 3-fold higher than that of lipase@MCM-41 due to its excellent dispersibility and hydrophobicity in hexane.

By evaluating the stability profiles of each component of a vaccine candidate (antigens, adjuvants), formulation conditions to mitigate vaccine instability can be identified. In this work, two recombinant Cytomegalovirus (CMV) glycoprotein antigens (gB, Pentamer) were formulated with SPA14, a novel liposome-based adjuvant system containing a synthetic TLR4 agonist (E6020) and a saponin (QS21). Analytical characterization and accelerated stability studies were performed with the two CMV antigens, formulated with and without SPA14, under various conditions (temperature, pH, excipients).

Recent studies have emphasized the modification of Insoluble Dietary Fiber (IDF) to enhance its physicochemical properties and functional performance. This study systematically examined the effects of ultrasonic treatment, microwave irradiation, high-temperature and high-pressure processing, and screw extrusion on the physicochemical characteristics, in vitro antioxidant activity, and adsorption capacities of High-Purity Insoluble Dietary Fiber (HPIDF) derived from black bean residues. Although these physical modifications did not alter the functional group composition or crystalline structure of HPIDF, they significantly enhanced its porosity, water-holding capacity (WHC), oil-holding capacity (OHC), and adsorption capacities for glucose, cholesterol, bile salts, and metal ions.

Environmental pollution caused by heavy metals are problems worldwide. In particular, pollution and poisoning by lead ions (Pb) continue to be common and serious problems. Hence, there is a need for a widely usable method to easily detect Pb from solutions containing organic materials from environmental water such as seas, ponds, etc.
