24 derivatives of tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone and related compounds were tested in vitro for antiviral activity against representatives of six viral taxonomic groups. The screening was carried out by a two-stage procedure including the agar-diffusion plaque-inhibition test and the one-step growth cycle setup. A distinct activity of three mono- and bis-morpholinomethyl derivatives of tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (THP), 1,3-bis(piperidinomethyl)-THP, the 1-morpholinomethyl derivative of tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinethione (THPT) and the related N,N'-bis(morpholinomethyl)-urea against the fowl plague virus was established. In the one-step growth cycle setup these compounds inhibited 87.5-99.6% of the infectious virus yield. Two of the compounds, namely 1-morpholinomethyl derivatives of THP and THPT manifested a strong inhibitory effect on the reproduction of Semliki Forest virus as well, exceeding 99.9% in the one-step growth cycle test. A borderline effect was observed in some derivatives against vaccinia virus and Newcastle disease virus. The structure-activity relationship of this group of compounds is discussed.

Most photosensitizers have limited responsiveness to visible light, however, visible light is a light source with a wide range of wavelengths and the most common in daily life, and making full use of visible light can help to enhance the photodynamic antimicrobial properties of photosensitizers. To tackle this issue, this study confirmed that alizarin has a good absorption capacity for visible light by UV-DRS analysis. Theoretical calculations showed that alizarin might be excited through the charge transfer (CT) mechanism.

Developing high-performance and low-cost electrodes for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER, respectively) represents a pivotal challenge in the field of water electrolysis. Herein, W doped NiFe LDH nanosheets (NiFe-W/NF) were immobilized on nickel foam (NF) through one-step corrosion engineering, which induced the coexistence of α-Ni(OH) and β-Ni(OH). The doping of large atomic radius W influenced the growth of crystal planes of Ni(OH), promoting the formation of α-Ni(OH), which results in large layer spaces and neatly arranged nanosheets structure.

Dissolved oxygen is crucial for metabolism, growth, and other complex physiological and pathological processes; however, standard physiological models (such as organ-on-chip systems) often use ambient oxygen levels, which do not reflect the lower levels that are typically found . Additionally, the local generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS; a key factor in physiological systems) is often overlooked in biology-mimicking models. Here, we present a microfluidic system that integrates electrochemical dissolved oxygen sensors with lab-on-a-chip technology to monitor the physiological oxygen concentrations and generate hydrogen peroxide (HO; a specific ROS).

In this study, a lytic phage, named PG216, was obtained from seawater collected in Qingdao, using Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain G299 as its host. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that phage PG216 has an icosahedral head with a diameter of 100 ± 6.7 nm and a contractible tail with a length of 126 ± 6.

Inserting metal ions into the porphyrin ring is one of the primary strategies to enhance the properties of porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). However, the straightforward, rapid, and energy-efficient synthesis of porphyrin-based MOFs with high metallization for the porphyrin ring remains challenging. Herein, a solution anode glow discharge (SAGD) microplasma is presented for the one-step synthesis of scandium-metalloporphyrin frameworks (ScMPFs).
