The application of Fe-catalyzed periodate (PI) processes is often limited by both the narrow applicable pH range and weak reaction between Fe(III) and oxidant. Here, the biodegradable picolinic acid (PICA) was used as one kind of chelating ligands (CLs) to enhance the removal of organic pollutants (OPs) at initial pH 3.0-8.0, which displayed superior properties than the other CLs in Fe(III)/PI process. The dominant reactive species produced in the Fe(III)-PICA/PI process turned out to be high-valent iron-oxo (Fe=O) species and hydroxyl radical (OH) by quenching, sulfoxide probe transformation, and O isotope-labeling tests. The relative contribution of Fe=O and OH was dependent on OPs ionization potential (IP) and energy gap (ΔE). The degradation of OPs was also directly associated with their structure, the apparent rate constants correlated well with the highest occupied molecular orbital energy (E), IP, and ΔE, and among them ΔE had a greater effect. Furthermore, Fe(III)-PICA complexes displayed excellent long-term effectiveness for OPs removal in actual water matrixes, along with the non-toxic conversion of PI, indicating a broad application perspective of Fe(III)-PICA/PI process. This study provides an efficient method to improve the performance of Fe(III)/PI process and reveals the mechanism and relationship between removal efficiency and pollutant structure.

Aims: This study aimed to assess the mode of action of fusaric and 9,10-dehydrofusaric acids on cell respiration by measuring the hyphal oxygen consumption rate, and the effects on cell membrane integrity by determining the electrical conductivity of the mycelium.

Methods And Results: Bioactivity-directed fractionation of the active culture medium and mycelium organic extracts from the Fusarium lactis strain SME13-2 isolated from Sapium macrocarpum, led to the isolation of two known alkylpicolinic acid derivatives: fusaric acid and 9,10-dehydrofusaric acid, along with the known polyketide bikaverin. Fusaric acid and 9,10-dehydrofusaric acid exhibited antioomycete and antifungal activities, significantly inhibiting the radial growth of Phytophthora capsici, Pythium aphanidermatum, Alternaria alternata and Fusarium oxysporum.

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a nutraceutical combination given to insulin-resistant overweight patients with altered lipid profiles. To this end, an observational study was designed in which 74 individuals (50 females and 24 males) underwent an observational period of 3 months.

Methods: During this time, a specific nutraceutical combination containing myo-inositol, glycine, , α-lipoic acid, phlorizin, zinc, vitamin B, and chromium picolinate was administered.

The extraction and complexation of trivalent americium (Am) and lanthanides (Ln) using an asymmetric picolinic acid-derived tridentate N,O-hybrid ligand, 6-(dioctylcarbamoyl)picolinic acid (DOAPA), have been studied through both experimental and theoretical methods. DOAPA exhibits effective and fast extraction of Am(III) and Ln(III). The extraction is driven by favorable enthalpy change.

A small molecule, (S)-ethyl 1-(3-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-hydroxypropyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (SEC), has been reported to be capable of suppressing metastasis of prostate cancer (PCa) cells. In this study, SEC was used to study the metabolic responses of PCa cell lines (LNCaP, PC3, and DU145) with different metastatic potential and the alterations of mTOR, p-mTOR, AMPK, and p-AMPK levels, when the PCa cells were inhibited. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS)-based analysis showed that SEC induced the decreases of intracellular metabolites including glutamic acid, glutamine, and histidine (LNCaP); creatinine, citric acid/isocitric acid, and aspartic acid (PC3); and spermidine, S-hydroxymethylglutathione, LPE (20:3), and palmitic amide (DU145), and the increases of intracellular LPC (18:0) (LNCaP); tyrosine, pyroglutamic acid/pyrroline hydroxycarboxylic acid (PC3); and tyrosine, phenylalanine, phenylacetylglycine, spermine, histidine, and choline (DU145).
