Plant-derived secondary metabolites have displayed notable biological effects and are valued for their applications in both food and medicine. This study aimed to explore the chemical composition, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial properties of aqueous extract (AEMO). Various analytical techniques, such as HPLC-UV/PDA, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, were utilised. The antioxidant potential of AEMO was assessed using DPPH, ABTS and TAC assays, while its antibacterial activity was tested against Gram-negative microorganisms as well as Gram-positive bacteria using the broth microdilution method. The obtained data illustrated robust antioxidant properties within AEMO and a wide-ranging antibacterial impact against various bacterial strains. By HPLC analysis, significant bioactive components were identified, notably including quercetin, kaempferol, and rutin. In conclusion, AEMO can be considered as a rich natural source of bioactive compounds with diverse therapeutic utilities in pharmaceutical and functional food applications.

Colorectal cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Capecitabine is a chemotherapeutic agent commonly used for the treatment of colon cancer. To realize local sustained release, promote efficient local intracellular transport, and mitigate the systemic toxic effects of capecitabine, a capecitabine prodrug, capecitabine-poly (p-dioxanone) (Cap-PPDO), was successfully synthesized.

In this study, we construct a quantum well effect-based two-dimensional Z-scheme superlattice heteronanostructure photocatalyst constructed from hydrogen-bonded porphyrin organic frameworks (HOFs) and carbon nitride. Porphyrin HOFs extend spectral absorption, while their π-conjugation and electron density variations significantly enhance charge separation and exhibit favorable alignment with the energy levels of carbon nitride, thereby enabling efficient charge transfer. Carboxylic acid channels in the HOFs further promote the decomposition of water molecules, thereby boosting hydrogen production.

To surmount the shortcomings of powder-based catalysts and small electrode sizes, the development of meter-scale integrated electrode materials is essential for practical electrocatalytic applications, which requires fine control over the effective surface grafting of catalytic active sites on large-size electrodes as well as addressing the challenge of balancing cost-effective and large-scale manufacturing with highly active and stable operation. Herein, we report a low-cost, facile, and scalable method for directly constructing meter-scale single-molecule-integrated catalytic electrodes using commercially available, flexible, and size-tailored conductive carbon textiles (e.g.

The effectiveness of orally delivered probiotics in treating gastrointestinal diseases is restricted by inadequate gut retention. In this study, we present a magnetically controlled strategy for probiotic delivery, which enables controlled accumulation and residence of probiotics in the intestine. The magnetically controlled probiotic is established by attaching amino-modified iron oxide (FeO-NH NPs) to polydopamine-coated GG (LGG@P) through electrostatic self-assembly and named as LGG@P@FeO.
