Styrylquinolines are heterocyclic compounds that are known for their antifungal and antimicrobial activity. Metal complexation through hydroxyl groups has been claimed to be a plausible mechanism of action for these types of compounds. A series of novel structures with protected hydroxyl groups have been designed and synthesized to verify the literature data. Their antifungal activity against wild-type strain and mutants with silenced efflux pumps activity has been determined. Combinations with fluconazole revealed synergistic interactions that were dependent on the substitution pattern. These results open a new route for designing active antifungal agents on a styrylquinoline scaffold.

Oxidation systems are diverse and widely used for the degradation of organic pollutants in water. Identifying suitable oxidation systems for certain organic pollutants is a common challenge in practical engineering. Simultaneous consideration of the oxidation selectivity and economy of different oxidation systems for organic pollutants can improve the accuracy of the screening process.

This study systematically assessed the performance of a newly developed solid-phase extraction (SPE) material, cellulose-supported aminated β-cyclodextrin polymer (amine-β-CDP@Cellulose), in determining 44 xenobiotics, encompassing endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), pharmaceuticals, and food additives in urine samples. The primary objective of the research was to synthesize a new sorbent, optimize the extraction protocol, and elucidate the underlying adsorption and desorption mechanisms. Following optimization, it was observed that amine-β-CDP@Cellulose achieved recoveries ranging from 80 % to 120 % for 28 of the 44 targeted xenobiotics, with only three compounds showing recoveries below 50 %.

CYP105A1 exhibits monooxygenase activity to a wide variety of structurally different substrates with regio- and stereospecificity, making its application range broad. Our previous studies have shown that CYP105A1 wild type and its variants metabolize 12 types of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In particular, the R84A variant exhibited a high activity against many NSAIDs.
