Synthetic routes to the crystallization of two new box-like complexes, [Au(Triphos)(CuBr)](OTf)·(CHCl)·(CHOH)·(HO) () and [Au(Triphos) (CuCl)](PF)·(CHCl) () (triphos = bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine), have been developed. The two centrosymmetric cationic complexes have been structurally characterized through single-crystal X-ray diffraction and shown to contain a CuX (X = Br or Cl) unit suspended between two Au(I) centers without the involvement of bridging ligands. These colorless crystals display green luminescence (λ = 527 nm) for () and teal luminescence (λ = 464 nm) for (). Computational results document the metallophilic interactions that are involved in positioning the Cu(I) center between the two Au(I) ions and in the luminescence.

A prebiotic model, based in the framework of thermodynamic efficiency loss from small dissipative eukaryote organisms [1-3], is developed to describe the maximum possible concentration of solar power to be dissipated on topological circular molecules structures encapsulated in lipid-walled vacuoles, which floated in the Archean oceans. By considering previously, the analysis of 71 species examined by covering 18 orders of mass magnitude from the Megapteranovaeangliae to Saccharomyces cerevisiae[2], suggest that in molecular structures of smaller masses than any living being known nowadays, the power dissipation must be directly proportional to the power of the photons of solar origin that impinge them to give rise to the formation of more complex self-assembled molecular structures at the prebiotic stage by a quantum mechanics model of resonant photon wavelength excitation. The analysis of 12 circular molecules (encapsulated in lipid-walled vacuoles) relevant to the evolution of life on planet Earth such as the five nucleobases, and some aromatic molecules as pyrimidine, porphyrin, chlorin, coumarin, xanthine, etc.

ZnO nanoparticles with high safety and stability are often used as active ingredients in sunscreens to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays. However, ZnO nanoparticles are easy to agglomerate, which will significantly affect the ultraviolet absorption and bacteriostatic properties, and the reactive oxygen species induced by the photocatalytic activity may result in irreversible secondary damage to the skin. Herein, the ZnO nanoparticles are dispersed uniformly on the surface of latex particles, and these composite particles are used as shell materials to construct self-assembled colloidosomes by high-gravity technology, which can improve the application properties with synergistic enrichment of the hollow structure.

Several approaches have been utilised to deliver therapeutic nanoparticles inside the brain but rendered by certain limitation such as active efflux, non-stability, toxicity of the nanocarrier, transport, physicochemical properties and many more. In this context use of biocompatible nano carriers is currently investigated. We herein present the hypothesis that the nucleoside-lipid based conjugates (nucleolipids) which are biocompatible in nature and have molecular recognition can be tuned for improved permeation across blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Sepsis is a severe and complex systemic infection that can result in multiple organ dysfunction. Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SAKI), caused by inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and cellular apoptosis, is a common complication that seriously impacts patient survival rates. Herein, a potent and novel metal-polyphenol nanomicelle can be efficiently self-assembled with Pt and honokiol (HK) by the chelation, π-π conjugation, hydrophobic action, and the surfactant properties of Tween-80.

Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are effective tools for cardiovascular interventions, ensuring uniform drug delivery to occluded arteries. This research investigates the potential of Pluronic P123 (P123), a micelle-forming polymer, to solubilize and release Everolimus (EVE) from DCBs. Furthermore, it seeks to understand how the ratio of P123 to EVE affects release rates and micelle formation under physiological conditions.
