Pyridoxamine (PM) could competitively protect amino groups in proteins from glycating agents. Although PM is expected to react with saccharides, available data therein are limited. In this study, a novel hydrophilic compound from a model reaction solution containing PM and xylose was isolated and identified as (6aR,9aR)-1,8,9-trihydroxy-2,6a-dimethyl-6a,9a-dihydrocyclopenta[5,6]pyrano[3,4-c]pyridin-7(5H)-one with a tricyclic structure. This compound appeared to be specifically formed from pentose via 1-deoxypentosone, and its formation was facilitated over a pH range of 7.0-8.0. After heating at 90 °C for 5 h in a reaction mixture containing 30 mM PM and pentose at pH 7.4, this compound was obtained at a yield of 6.95-8.53 mM.

Dust emissions from open-pit mining pose a significant threat to environmental safety and human health. Currently, the range of dust suppressants used in coal mining is limited, often failing to account for their suitability across various stockpiles. This oversight results in poor infiltration after application, leading to insufficient crust formation and reduced durability.

Superhydrophobic Nanocoatings Fabricated by Materials with Low Young's Contact Angle.

Langmuir

January 2025

State Key Laboratory for Environment-Friendly Energy Materials, School of Materials and Chemistry, Southwest University of Science and Technology, Mianyang 621010, China.

To achieve superhydrophobicity with an apparent contact angle (θ*) greater than 150° on rough surfaces, materials with a high Young's contact angle (θ > 90°) are commonly utilized. However, achieving superhydrophobicity with θ < 90° materials without specific auxiliary designs faces unknown challenges. Here, we develop a novel superhydrophobic nanocoating with θ* of ∼155° sprayed by an ethanol suspension only composed of bisphenol A epoxy resin (EPA) with a low θ of ∼70° and hydrophilic SiO nanoparticles.

Cyanine dye-embedded fluorescent film for ratiometric pH measurement.

Photochem Photobiol Sci

January 2025

CNRS, Institut des Sciences Moléculaires d'Orsay, Université Paris-Saclay, 91405, Orsay, France.

The precise monitoring of pH is critical in various applications, particularly in biology-related areas. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel cyanine-based fluorescent pH sensor with a pK around 6. This pH-sensitive dye features a cyanine chromophore coupled to a piperazine moiety, which modulates the protonation equilibrium and thus the optical response.

Atherosclerosis, a major cause of cardiovascular diseases, involves complex pathophysiological processes. The co-delivery of multiple bioactive components derived from phytomedicine to atherosclerotic plaque is challenging, especially for those with varied solubilities. This study introduces a novel metal-phenolic network-based core-shell recombinant high-density lipoprotein nanocarrier (SSPH-MPN@rHDL) for co-delivering multiple bioactive components from Salvia miltiorrhiza and Carthamus tinctorius, including salvianic acid A (SAA), salvianolic acid B (SAB), protocatechuic aldehyde (PCA), hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA), and tanshinone IIA (TS-IIA).
