The aim of this study was to explore whether or not acetylresveratrol as a potential substitute for resveratrol dragged the toxic aldehyde to inhibit the mutation of mitochondrial DNA. The results revealed that the acetylresveratrol shifted ultraviolet peak of trans-crotonaldehyde from 316 to 311 nm. In mitochondria, the acetylresveratrol split the ultraviolet peak at 311 nm of trans-crotonaldehyde into 311 nm and 309 nm; the aldehyde Raman band of trans-crotonaldehyde was red shifted by the acetylresveratrol from 1689 to 1686 cm with obvious band decline; Raman bands at 1149 cm, 1168 cm, and 1325 cm of acetylresveratrol disappeared. In aldehyde dehydrogenase, the aldehyde Raman band of trans-crotonaldehyde was red shifted by the acetylresveratrol from 1689 to 1684 cm with band decline; Raman bands at 1150 cm, 1168 cm, and 1324 cm of acetylresveratrol declined. The weak acidic microenvironment was the best, for the acetylresveratrol dragged the toxic aldehyde of trans-crotonaldehyde. Compared with the resveratrol, the effect of the acetylresveratrol on the toxic aldehyde of trans-crotonaldehyde was very similar to that of the resveratrol. The acetylresveratrol is very suitable as a potential substitute for resveratrol dragged the toxic aldehyde to inhibit the mutation of mitochondrial DNA. Graphical Abstract In mitochondria, the Raman band of the toxic -CH=O of trans-crotonaldehyde (TCA) dragged by the Acetyl-Res from 1689 to 1686 cm with obvious band decline, while the Raman bands at 1149 cm, 1168 cm, and 1325 cm of the Acetyl-Res disappeared, respectively. The Acetyl-Res is very suitable as a potential substitute, for the Res dragged the toxic -CH=O of TCA to inhibit the mutation of mitochondrial DNA for anticancer.

One of the mechanisms accounting for the toxicity of amyloid peptides in diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's is the formation of pores on the plasma membrane of neurons. Here, we perform unbiased all-atom simulations of the full membrane damaging pathway, which includes adsorption, aggregation, and perforation of the lipid bilayer accounting for pore-like structures. Simulations are performed using four peptides made with the same amino acids.

Vaccine technology is still facing challenges regarding some infectious diseases, which can be addressed by innovative drug delivery systems. In particular, nanoparticle-based vaccines combined with new types of adjuvants are actively explored as a platform for improving the efficacy and durability of immune protection. Here, biodegradable nanoparticles carrying an antigenic model of HIV were formulated with two combinations of poloxamers, 188/407, presenting or not presenting gelling properties, respectively.

Lung cancer is one of the most common causes of death in the world. Considering the severe side effects, toxicity and high costs of chemotherapeutics used in cancer treatment, there is a need for more economical and natural treatment methods such as essential oils. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Canarium commune (Elemi) essential oil (EO) and nanoparticles.

A membrane ozone contactor, operated under continuous mode, was applied to promote the tertiary treatment of urban wastewater (UWW), targeting the removal of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), bacterial disinfection, and toxicity reduction. This system relies on the homogeneous radial distribution of ozone (O) in the reaction zone by "titration" through a microfiltration borosilicate tubular membrane, while the UWW swirls around the membrane and drags the O microbubbles generated in the membrane shell-side. The membrane is coated with titanium dioxide (TiO-P25) and radiation can be externally supplied via four UV lamps.
