Albendazole is the preferred deworming drug and has strong insecticidal effects on human and animal helminth parasites, showing remarkable activity against hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal cancer cells. However, it is classified as being in class II in the Biopharmaceutics Classification System due to its poor water solubility (0.2 mg/L) and high permeability, which make the clinical application of albendazole impractical. Through complexation with methyl--cyclodextrin, as the best result so far, albendazole's water solubility was increased by 150,000 times, and albendazole could be 90% released during the first 10 min. In an in vivo pharmacokinetic study, the and of the active metabolized sulfoxide were changed from 2.81 µg/mL at 3 h to 10.2 µg/mL at 6 h and the AUC was increased from 50.72 h⁎μg/mL to 119.95 h⁎μg/mL, indicating that the inclusion complex obtained can be used as a new oral therapeutic anti-anthelmintic and anti-tumor agent formulation.

Background: Anthocyanin is an important class of water-soluble pigments that are widely distributed in various tissues of plants, and it not only facilitates diverse color changes but also plays important roles in various biological processes. Maize silk, serving as an important reproductive organ and displaying a diverse range of colors, plays an indispensable role in biotic resistance through its possession of anthocyanin. However, the copy numbers, characteristics, and expression patterns of genes involved in maize anthocyanin biosynthesis are not fully understood.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of adding aroeira leaf extract (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) to a yam starch film matrix, focusing on the development of potentially active films and the evaluation of their physicochemical, mechanical, optical, and antioxidant properties. Films were produced using the casting method with varying extract concentrations (0, 3, 6, 12, and 15 %), yam starch (2 %), and glycerol (1 %). The antioxidant properties were analyzed by determining the total phenolic content, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, ferric reducing power, and 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical elimination, which revealed a significant increase in antioxidant properties as the extract concentration increased.

Nickel, an essential transition metal, plays a vital role in biological systems and industries. However, exposure to nickel can cause severe health issues, such as asthma, dermatitis, pneumonitis, neurological disorders, and cancers of the nasal cavity and lungs. Due to nickel's toxicity and extensive industrial use, efficient sensors for detecting Ni ions in environmental and biological contexts are essential.

Kinetic Control of Self-Assembly Pathway in Dual Dynamic Covalent Polymeric Systems.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

East China University of Science and Technology, School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Meilong Road 130, 200237, Shanghai, CHINA.

Kinetically controlled self-assembly is garnering increasing interest in the field of supramolecular polymers and materials, yet examples involving dynamic covalent exchange remain relatively unexplored. Here we report an unexpected dynamic covalent polymeric system whose aqueous self-assembly pathway is strongly influenced by the kinetics of evaporation of water. The key design is to integrate dual dynamic covalent bonds-including disulfide bonds and boroxine/borate-into a dynamic equilibrium system of monomers, polymers, and materials.
