AI Article Synopsis

  • A new furanone called volvafuranone A was discovered in the fruiting body of a specific mushroom, along with twelve other known compounds.
  • Some of these isolated compounds were identified from the mushroom for the first time.
  • The compounds were tested for their toxicity against four human tumor lines, showing significant cytotoxic effects with varying IC values.

Article Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the fruiting body of led to the isolation of a new furanone, 2(5)-furanone-4-propionic acid named volvafuranone A (), together with twelve known compounds (). Compounds , were isolated from this mushroom for the first time. The isolated compounds were assessed for their cytotoxicity against four human tumour lines (SGC-7901, PC-3M, MCF-7, HepG-2), and the results showed that compound , , , have significant cytotoxicity with IC values of 5.90 μM (HepG-2), 20.72 μM (HepG-2), 27.98 μM (PC-3M) and 23.15 μM (PC-3M), respectively.

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a key reaction in electrochemical water splitting for hydrogen production leading to the development of potentially sustainable energy technology. Importantly, the catalysts required for HER must be earth-abundant for their large-scale deployment; silicates representing one such class. Herein, we have synthesized a series of transition mono- and bi- metal metasilicates (with SO32- group) using facile wet-chemical method followed by calcination at a higher temperature.

Activated intramolecular singlet fission is known to occur in the conjugated polymer polythienylene-vinylene (P3TV). Instead, efficient intersystem crossing has been observed in a short 3-alkyl(thienylene-vinylene) dimer. Here, we investigate a series of oligomers covering the conjugation length gap between the dimer and polymer.

The detrimental effects of heavy metal aqueous pollution are attracting people's attention increasingly. Membrane separation technology plays a pivotal role in the treatment of aqueous pollution due to its low energy consumption and excellent separation effect. Inspired by the strong adhesion of heavy metal ions by the dopamine in mussel protein, we have fabricated the 5%, 10%, 20% and 30% proportion of polydopamine (PDA)/Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) blend membranes with dopamine structure by solvent-induced phase conversion.

Aquatic biota and human health are seriously threatened by the dramatic rise in antibiotics in environmental matrices. In this regard, the present study aims to improve knowledge of the combined effects of heterojunction design and defect engineering on the photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceuticals in aqueous matrices. Advantageously, the positioning of the valence band (VB) and conduction band (CB) levels of S@g-CN, being higher than those of BiMoO, demonstrates the feasibility of forming a type-II heterojunction between these materials.

Benzothiadiazole (BT) has shown promising applications in fullerene solar cells. However, few BT-based polymer donors exhibited a noticeable power conversion efficiency (PCE) for the fused-ring small molecular acceptor-based polymer solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we developed a D-A (D: donor, A: acceptor) polymer donor F-1 based on fluorinated BT (ffBT) as A unit and chlorinated benzo [1,2-b:4,5-b'] dithiophene (BDT-2Cl) as D unit.
