17-Estradiol (E2) is a natural steroidal estrogen essential for a variety of physiological functions in organisms. However, external E2, which is renowned for its potent biological effects, is also considered to be an endocrine-disrupting compound (EDC) capable of disturbing the normal operation of the endocrine system, even at nanogram-per-liter (ng/L) concentrations. Studies have revealed that medical and livestock wastewater can be contaminated with E2, which poses potential risks to human health.

Currently, global consumption of vegetable oils for food purposes exceeds 200 million tons per year. Hazardous waste frying oil has become a fully valuable, environmentally friendly raw material with a wide range of industrial applications. Solid materials based on waste cooking oil (WCO) are becoming increasingly popular due to their easy production technology, availability of raw material, and low cost.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a major cause of mortality worldwide. Geniposide (GP) has lipolytic and anti-inflammatory effects and is widely administered for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. There is considerable evidence for the importance of autophagy in the cardiovascular system, and GP can promote autophagy and improve AS.

In colorimetric analysis, nanozymes are invaluable tools due to their simple production, long-lasting stability, and adaptable enzymatic activity, which enable them to induce changes in substrate color. In this study, a simple nanozyme-based colorimetric sensor was developed to detect cannabidiol (CBD) by using the laccase activity of the self-made MOF with copper and cobalt loading (Cu/Co@MOF) nanozyme, which was synthesized using a one-pot microwave method. The Cu/Co@MOF has the ability to catalyze the coupling reaction between 4-AP and various phenolic substrates, thereby converting colorless phenolic substrates into red substances.

8-Hydroxyquinoline and imidazole, two important N-heteroaromatic systems, have a strong affinity towards various anions their acidic OH or NH protons. Three receptor ligands, 5-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)quinolin-8-ol (1), 5-(benzo[]thiazol-2-yl)quinolin-8-ol (2), and 4-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol (3), were synthesized, and their fluoride (F) ion binding properties were investigated. These ligands could selectively bind F ions, and their respective F complexes, namely, 1-TBAF, 2-TBAF, and 3-TBAF (TBAF = tetrabutylammonium fluoride), were characterized using single crystal X-ray analysis, NMR, UV-vis, Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis and computational studies.
