In this work we report the photophysics and rotational diffusion of a hydrophilic solute 7-(N,N'-diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (7-DCCA) in four protic solvents: poly(ethylene glycol), ethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, and glycerol, with variation of temperature. The cumulative effect of polarity, viscosity, and structural features of these solvents, as well as specific solute-solvent interaction on the photophysical properties of 7-DCCA was discussed. We observed significant differences in both steady-state and time-resolved emission properties. Estimation of activation energy of viscous flow and activation energy of nonradiative decay reinforce our assumption of a cumulative effect. It was observed that, in all solvents, H-bonding interactions are mainly responsible for changing the spectral properties. Study of rotational relaxation behavior demonstrates superstick boundary condition to be operative in ethylene glycol. It is due to the H-bonding interaction between 7-DCCA and ethylene glycol. Similarly, stick boundary condition is followed in case of tetraethylene glycol at 278 K and further from 293 K. Convergence to the stick boundary is observed in case of poly(ethylene glycol). These changes can be attributed to the change in structural organization in both poly(ethylene glycol) and tetraethylene glycol.

Hydrophobic payloads incorporated into antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) typically are superior to hydrophilic ones in tumor penetration and "bystander killing" upon release from ADCs. However, they are prone to aggregation and accelerated plasma clearance, which lead to reduced efficacies and increased toxicities of ADC molecules. Shielding the hydrophobicity of payloads by incorporating polyethylene glycol (PEG) elements or sugar groups into the ADC linkers has emerged as a viable alternative to directly adopting hydrophilic payloads.

Background: Uterine fibroids are prevalent benign pelvic tumors, often causing debilitating symptoms that impair quality of life. Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a consolidated minimally invasive treatment option. The purpose of this study is to report our experience with polyethylene glycol microspheres (HydroPearl) in UFE for symptomatic patients.

Groundnut fodder was utilized as a bioresource for the production of cellulases through solid state fermentation (SSF). Aspergillus unguis was initially grown on modified groundnut fodder for cellulase production and the fodder was hydrolyzed by the crude cellulase extract into fermentable hydrolyzate. The highest titer of Filter paperase (FPase), Carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), β-glucosidase, and protein content were found to be 11.

The fluorescent imaging of pathologically accumulated β-amyloid (Aβ) proteins is of significant importance to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the paper, we prepared two new NIR probes, NIR-1 and NIR-2, through hydrophilic modification of introducing water-soluble bioactive groups such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and morpholine to tune in vivo pharmacokinetics for specific detection of soluble and insoluble Aβ species. The in vitro assessments confirm that both NIR-1 and NIR-2 display strong near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence (FL) enhancement upon association with Aβ42 monomers, oligomers or aggregates (λem > 670 nm) and show high sensitive, rapid and selective response towards Aβ42 species.
