A novel coumarin-derived acylhydrazone Schiff base fluorescent organogel (G) was designed and synthesized. Gelator G can form stable organogels in isopropanol, tert-amyl alcohol, n-butanol and phenylamine. The organogel could be converted to solution by heating and the solution could be restored to gel state by cooling. The self-assemble mechanism of G1 was investigated by XRD, FT-IR and SEM techniques. The results indicated the intermolecular hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals interaction and π-π stacking are the forces for the self-assembly of the gelator to form the organogel. The optical properties of the compound were studied by UV-visible spectroscopy and fluorescence spectra. Further study presented that gelator G1 could selectively and sensitively response to Fe only among tested cations. Beside the above functions, the organic gel factor G1 could also response to irradiation, heating and shaking, thus endowing the organogel with multi stimulus responsive properties.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel biobased latex was created through a process called redox-initiated emulsion copolymerization, resulting in a stable copolymer latex with specific solid content and particle size.
  • The copolymer exhibited a transition temperature and underwent cross-linking when exposed to UVA light, leading to increased insolubility in acetone.
  • When combined with hemp-derived nanocellulose, the resulting composite films demonstrated improved barrier properties, significantly reducing water vapor transmission rates compared to the films made solely from nanocellulose.

In order to facilitate the practical application of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) active molecules, the CPL brightness () must be optimized. We have applied a binary modular strategy to synthesize two chiral organo-Tb complexes, [Tb(Coum)(1,2-Ph-PyBox)] () and [Tb(Coum)(1,2-Ph-PyBox)] (), combining 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-coumarin () and enantiopure 2,6-bis(4-phenyl-2-oxazolin-2-yl) pyridine (,/,). The photophysical properties of these novel complexes have been fully characterized.

Article Synopsis
  • Esculetin (ESC) is a natural compound used in traditional Chinese medicine that helps protect the brain during strokes.
  • The study found that ESC helps reduce brain damage and improve behavior in mice after a stroke by affecting a protein called CKLF1.
  • Blocking CKLF1 with ESC also lowers the number of immune cells that can cause more damage, showing that it could be a good treatment for strokes in the future.

Cysteine (Cys) as a crucial precursor for intracellular glutathione (GSH) synthesis, plays an important role in the redox regulation in ferroptosis, Therefore, evaluating intracellular Cys levels is worthy to better understand ferroptosis-related physiological process. In this work, we constructed a novel NIR coumarin-derived fluorescent probe (NCDFP-Cys) based on a dual-ICT system, the NCDFP-Cys can show fluorescence turn-on response at 717 nm toward Cys over other amino acids, and possess large Stokes shift (Δλ = 167 nm), low detection limit, hypotoxicity. More significantly, NCDFP-Cys has been utilized to monitor the intracellular Cys fluctuation in pancreatic cancer cells during ferroptosis induced by Erastin and RSL3 respectively, and revealing the difference of Cys levels changes in different activator-triggered ferroptosis pathways.

Diabetes mellitus has a high prevalence rate and it has been deemed a severe chronic metabolic disorder with long-term complications. This research aimed to identify compounds that could potentially inhibit the vital metabolic enzyme α-glucosidase and thereby exert an anti-hyperglycemic effect. The main goal was to establish an effective approach to control diabetes.
