Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) play crucial disinfectant roles in healthcare, industry, and domestic settings. Most commercially utilized QACs like benzalkonium chloride have a common architectural theme, leading to a rise in bacterial resistance and urgent need for novel structural classes. Some potent QACs such as chlorhexidine (CHX) and octenidine (OCT) feature a bolaamphiphilic architecture, comprised of two cationic centers at the molecular periphery and a non-polar region connecting them; these compounds show promise to elude bacterial resistance mechanisms.

This research presents an innovative approach for synthesizing 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives, utilizing 30 mg of NS-doped graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) as a catalyst in a one-pot, three-component reaction conducted in ethanol. The NS-doped GOQDs were synthesized using a cost-effective bottom-up method through the condensation of citric acid (CA) with thiourea and the reaction was carried out at 185 C, resulting in the elimination of water. The catalytic performance of the synthesized NS-doped GOQDs resulted in high product yields, achieving up to 98% for the 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives from aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, resorcinol, -naphthol, and dimedone.

A synergistic combination of cationic styrylpyridinium dyes and water-soluble deep cavitand hosts can recognize phosphorylated peptides with both site- and state-selectivity. Two mechanisms of interaction are dominant: either the cationic dye interacts with Trp residues in the peptide or the host:dye pair forms a heteroternary complex with the peptide, driven by both strong dye-peptide and cavitand-peptide binding ( values up to 4 μM). The presence of multiple recognition mechanisms results in varying fluorescence responses dependent on the phosphorylation state and position, eliminating the need for covalent modification of the peptide target.

A study aimed to investigate the signaling pathway of zearalenone (ZEA) leading to the apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) and explore the potential of vitamin E (VE) in alleviating ZEA-induced apoptosis of GCs. We constructed an apoptosis model for GCs based on exposure to the environmental toxin ZEA. Transcriptome analysis revealed that ZEA induced endoplasmic reticulum stress by activating the ATF4-Chop pathway.

The aim of this work is the development of a biomimetic strategy involving a molecular recognition mechanism using aptamers immobilized on a solid support for the analysis of the mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEA) and two of its derivatives in human urine: alpha-zearelenol (α-ZEL) and beta-zearelenol (β-ZEL). Three oligonucleotide sequences reported in the literature as being specific to ZEA were thus covalently grafted onto activated sepharose, and a thorough study of the percolation and washing conditions was performed to promote the selective retention of the three targeted compounds. With the optimized extraction procedure, a strong and selective retention was obtained for ZEA and to a lesser extent α-ZEL and β-ZEL, with extraction recoveries of 88±9%, 77±15%, and 45±12% respectively, in standard solutions.
