Violacin A, a chromanone derivative, isolated from a fermentation broth of Streptomyces violaceoruber, has excellent anti-inflammatory potential. Herein, a biogenetically modeled approach to synthesize violacin A and twenty-five analogues was described, which involved the preparation of aromatic polyketide precursor through Claisen condensation and its spontaneous cyclization. The inhibitory effect on nitric oxide (NO) production of all synthetic molecules was evaluated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced Raw264.7 cells. The results revealed that introduction of aliphatic amine moieties on C-7 obviously improved the anti-inflammation effect of violacin A, and also the aromatic ether instead of ketone group at side chain was favorable to increase the activity. Among them, analogue 7a and 16d were screened as the most effective anti-inflammatory candidates. Molecular mechanism research revealed that 7a and 16d acquired anti-inflammatory ability due to the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway.

On the one hand, nature utilizes hierarchical assemblies to create complex biological binding pockets, enabling ultrastrong recognition toward substrates in aqueous solutions. On the other hand, chemists have been fervently pursuing high-affinity recognition by constructing covalently well-preorganized stereoelectronic cavities. The potential of noncovalent assembly, however, for enhancing molecular recognition has long been underestimated.

Bioinspired coatings that mimic the adhesive properties of mussels have received considerable attention for surface modification applications. While polydopamine chemistry has been widely used to develop functional coatings, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine (l-DOPA), a key component of mussel adhesive proteins, has received less attention because, compared to dopamine, it is relatively difficult to form effective coatings on solid substrates in mildly alkaline solutions. Although several methods have been explored to improve the efficiency of l-DOPA coatings, there is still a need to expand the l-DOPA-based surface chemistry.

The ability to identify unknown risks is the key to improving the level of food safety. However, the conventional nontargeted screening methods for new contaminant identification and risk assessment remain difficult work. Herein, a toxic-oriented screening platform based on high-expression epidermal growth factor receptor HEK293 cell membrane-coated magnetic nanoparticles (EGFR/MNPs) was first used for the discovery of unknown contaminants from food samples.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by pronounced immune escape and resistance to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. Preliminary investigations revealed a marked overexpression of gasdermin E (GSDME) in GBM. Notably, cisplatin (CDDP) demonstrated a capacity of inducing pyroptosis by activating caspase-3 to cleave GSDME, coupled with the release of proinflammatory factors, indicating the potential as a viable approach of inducing anti-tumor immune activation.
