UV-photolysis of hydrogen peroxide is a useful technique to produce hydroxyl radical. However, it is not an appropriate method to estimate the reactivity of polyphenols with hydroxyl radicals because many of the polyphenol derivatives also absorb the UV-light to generate hydroxyl radicals. In this study, X-ray irradiation of water with a flowing system was applied to estimate the reactivity of hydroxyl radicals with polyphenols using electron spin resonance (ESR) spin trap. The obtained relative reaction rates reasonably agreed with previous data by pulse radiolysis. This method will be a useful technique to estimate the reactivity of antioxidants including polyphenols with hydroxyl radicals.

Both photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are designed to focus their antitumor effect on only the tumor site, thereby minimizing unwanted severe damage to healthy tissue outside the tumor. However, each monotherapy is limited in achieving complete tumor eradication, resulting in tumor recurrence. The combination of multiple therapies may help to overcome the limitations of single therapy, improve the chances of complete tumor eradication, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Photochemistry of Microsolvated Nitrous Acid: Observation of the Water-Separated Complex of Nitric Oxide and Hydroxyl Radical.

The photochemistry of nitrous acid (HONO) plays a crucial role in atmospheric chemistry as it serves as a key source of hydroxyl radicals (OH) in the atmosphere; however, our comprehension of the underlying mechanism for the photochemistry of HONO especially in the presence of water is far from being complete as the transient intermediates in the photoreactions have not been observed. Herein, we report the photochemistry of microsolvated HONO by water in a cryogenic N matrix. Specifically, the 1:1 hydrogen-bonded water complex of HONO was facially prepared in the matrix through stepwise photolytic O oxidation of the water complex of imidogen (NH-HO) via the intermediacy of the elusive water complex of peroxyl isomer HNOO.

Herein, we report a cascade annulation of readily available isocyanobiaryls with simple aldehydes photoredox catalysis, providing a straightforward approach towards valuable 6-hydroxyalkylated phenanthridines. Mechanistic studies indicated the generation of a key acyl radical from aldehydes by hydrogen atom abstraction with a bromine radical. This protocol exhibits exceptional chemoselectivity, excellent tolerance of various functional groups and mild reaction conditions.

Anchoring Ru single-atoms on MXene achieves dual-enzyme activities for mild photothermal augmented nanocatalytic therapy.

Key Laboratory of Superlight Materials and Surface Technology, Ministry of Education, College of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin, 150001, P. R. China.

Single-atom catalysts with abnormally high catalytic activity have garnered extensive attention and interest for their application in tumor therapy. Despite the advancements made with current nanotherapeutic agents, developing efficient systems for cancer treatment remains challenging due to low activity, uncontrollable behavior, and nonselective interactions. Herein, we have constructed Ru single-atom-anchored MXene nanozymes (Ru-TiCT-PEG) with a mild photothermal effect and multi-enzyme catalytic activity for synergistic tumor therapy.

Adverse drug reactions (ADR) remain a challenge in modern healthcare, particularly given the increasing complexity of therapeutics. WHO's definition of an adverse drug reaction as a response to a drug that is noxious and unintended and occurs at doses normally used in man for the prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy of disease, or for modification of physiological function. This definition underscores the importance of monitoring and mitigating unintended drug effects, particularly for widely used medications like valproic acid (VPA).
