The widespread presence of antibiotics like clindamycin (CLN) in aquatic environments poses serious ecological and health risks. This study introduces a simple and cost-effective electrochemical sensor based on Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles, synthesized via coprecipitation, for CLN detection in environmental samples. Characterization by FTIR, SEM, TEM, BET, and TGA confirmed a porous, nano-flake structure conducive to enhanced electrocatalytic activity. The sensor exhibited excellent performance with a detection limit of 0.044 µM (0.0187 µg/mL), a quantification limit of 0.15 µM (0.0638 µg/mL), and a linear range of 4–700 µM, outperforming traditional HPLC methods. Optimal detection was achieved at pH 3.6, with good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. Application to tap water, Nile river water, groundwater, and wastewater samples confirmed its practical utility. The method's environmental impact was evaluated using green chemistry metrics including AGREEprep, ESA, and AMVI demonstrating its eco-friendliness. Cytotoxicity testing on WI-38 cells showed concentration-dependent effects, supporting its safe use in environmental and biomedical contexts. The total cost of the material was estimated at 8.14 USD/g, confirming its affordability for large-scale applications.

In rural Borana, Ethiopia, limited access to potable water and the high cost of conventional water treatment methods have led many people to rely on turbid surface water for drinking, exposing them to waterborne diseases. A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Moringa stenopetala seed powder (MSP) as a natural coagulant for reducing turbidity and Escherichia coli (E. coli) levels in pond water, compared to the conventional coagulant, aluminum sulfate (alum). Water samples were treated with MSP or alum at dosages ranging from 0 to 130 mg/L. The study assessed the effects of initial pH (1.5 to 10.5), settling time (30 to 180 min), and initial turbidity (55 to 319 NTU) on coagulation efficiency for both coagulants. Turbidity, pH, and E. coli levels in the water samples were measured before and after treatment using a portable turbidity meter, portable pH meter, and membrane filtration, respectively. A one-way ANOVA was used to assess significant differences (p < 0.05) between MSP and alum in their coagulation effectiveness. After 120 min of settling, alum (70 mg/L) reduced turbidity from 216 NTU to 1.8 NTU (99.16% removal), while MSP (80 mg/L) reduced turbidity to 4.2 NTU (98.05% removal). Both coagulants achieved turbidity levels below the World Health Organization (WHO) standard of 5 NTU, with MSP showing similar efficacy to alum. In terms of E. coli reduction, alum at 70 mg/L reduced E. coli by 29.78% (from 47 to 33 CFU/100 mL), while MSP at 80 mg/L achieved a 95.74% reduction (to 2 CFU/100 mL). Additionally, MSP did not significantly (P < 0.05) alter the pH of treated water, unlike alum, which typically lowers the pH and requires post-treatment adjustment. These results suggest that MSP is a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to alum, particularly in rural areas like Borana, where access to clean water is limited.
在埃塞俄比亚的Borana农村,获得饮用水的机会有限,而传统的水处理方法成本高昂,导致许多人依赖浑浊的地表水饮用,使他们容易感染水传播疾病。研究了辣木籽粉(MSP)作为天然混凝剂,与常规混凝剂硫酸铝(明矾)相比,对降低池塘水中浊度和大肠杆菌(E. coli)水平的有效性进行了评价。水样用MSP或明矾处理,剂量范围为0 ~ 130 mg/L。该研究评估了初始pH值(1.5至10.5)、沉淀时间(30至180分钟)和初始浊度(55至319 NTU)对两种混凝剂混凝效率的影响。使用便携式浊度计、便携式pH计和膜过滤分别测量处理前后水样中的浊度、pH值和大肠杆菌水平。采用单因素方差分析评估显著性差异(p <;MSP与明矾的凝血效果差异为0.05)。沉淀120分钟后,明矾(70 mg/L)将浊度从216 NTU降至1.8 NTU(去除率99.16%),而MSP (80 mg/L)将浊度降至4.2 NTU(去除率98.05%)。两种混凝剂的浊度水平均低于世界卫生组织(WHO)的5 NTU标准,其中MSP的效果与明矾相似。在大肠杆菌还原方面,70 mg/L明矾对大肠杆菌的还原率为29.78%(从47 CFU/100 mL降至33 CFU/100 mL),而80 mg/L MSP对大肠杆菌的还原率为95.74%(至2 CFU/100 mL)。此外,MSP对MSP的影响不显著(P <;0.05)改变处理后水的pH值,而明矾通常会降低pH值,需要在处理后进行调整。这些结果表明,MSP是一种具有成本效益和可持续的明矾替代品,特别是在像Borana这样获得清洁水有限的农村地区。

Cilnidipine is an important antihypertensive medication within the dihydropyridine class of calcium channel blockers. The precise quantification of cilnidipine concentrations in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluid samples is crucial for ensuring therapeutic efficacy and safety. Traditional analytical techniques for measuring cilnidipine amounts have included various methods, with oxidative coupling reactions proving particularly effective. This study presents a novel spectrophotometric method for cilnidipine quantification, employing oxidative coupling with 4-aminoAntipyrine and 4-amino diphenylamine. These reactions yield colored compounds that can be detected in the visible spectrum at wavelengths of 528 nm and 721 nm, significantly improving both sensitivity and accuracy. Methods A and B adhere to Beer's law across specified concentration ranges of 1–55 and 1–30 µg/mL, respectively, demonstrating high molar absorptivity of 1.098×104 L/(mol⋅cm) for method A and 2.1179×104 L/(mol⋅cm) for method B, which highlights their analytical robustness. The limit of detections (LOD) was estimation and found to be 0.1159 and 0.3865 µg/mL for methods A and B, correspondingly, while the limit of quantifications (LOQ) was 0.1976 (method A) and 0.5848 µg/mL (method B), showcasing their strong analytical performance. A thorough validation of linearity and precision was performed, with Sandell's sensitivity assessed at 0.04486 µg/cm2 for method A and 0.02325 µg/cm2 for method B. This innovative approach provides researchers and healthcare professionals with a reliable tool for accurate cilnidipine measurement, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes and ensuring high standards of pharmaceutical quality. The two suggested techniques effectively determined Cilnidipine; with a decent average recovery in pharmaceutical tablets 99.53%–100.2 % and in human urine and serum samples of 99.77%–100.58 %, no intrusions of co-existing additives present in commercial dosage forms were noted.
西尼地平是二氢吡啶类钙通道阻滞剂中重要的降压药物。药物制剂和生物液样品中西尼地平浓度的精确定量对确保治疗效果和安全性至关重要。测量西尼地平量的传统分析技术包括各种方法,氧化偶联反应被证明特别有效。本研究提出了一种利用4-氨基安替比林和4-氨基二苯胺氧化偶联分光光度法定量西尼地平的新方法。这些反应产生的有色化合物可以在528 nm和721 nm的可见光谱中检测到,显着提高了灵敏度和准确性。方法A和方法B在1-55µg/mL和1-30µg/mL的浓度范围内均符合比尔定律,方法A和方法B的摩尔吸光度分别为1.098×104 L/(mol⋅cm)和2.1179×104 L/(mol⋅cm),具有较高的分析鲁棒性。方法A和方法B的检出限分别为0.1159和0.3865µg/mL,定量限分别为0.1976和0.5848µg/mL,具有较强的分析性能。对线性度和精密度进行了彻底的验证,方法A和方法b的Sandell灵敏度分别为0.04486µg/cm2和0.02325µg/cm2。这种创新的方法为研究人员和医疗保健专业人员提供了一种可靠的工具,可以准确测量西尼地平,从而提高治疗效果并确保高标准的药品质量。两种方法均能有效测定西尼地平;药品片剂的平均回收率为99.53% ~ 100.2%,人尿和血清样品的平均回收率为99.77% ~ 100.58%,未发现商业剂型中存在共存添加剂的侵入。

This study presents a novel spectrophotometric method for cilnidipine quantification, employing oxidative coupling with 4-aminoAntipyrine and 4-amino diphenylamine. These reactions yield colored compounds that can be detected in the visible spectrum at wavelengths of 528 nm and 721 nm, significantly improving both sensitivity and accuracy. Methods A and B adhere to Beer's law across specified concentration ranges of 1–55 and 1–30 µg/mL, respectively, demonstrating high molar absorptivity of 1.098×10<sup>4</sup> L/(mol⋅cm) for method A and 2.1179×10<sup>4</sup> L/(mol⋅cm) for method B, which highlights their analytical robustness. The limit of detections (LOD) was estimation and found to be 0.1159 and 0.3865 µg/mL for methods A and B, correspondingly, while the limit of quantifications (LOQ) was 0.1976 (method A) and 0.5848 µg/mL (method B), showcasing their strong analytical performance. A thorough validation of linearity and precision was performed, with Sandell's sensitivity assessed at 0.04486 µg/cm<sup>2</sup> for method A and 0.02325 µg/cm<sup>2</sup> for method B. This innovative approach provides researchers and healthcare professionals with a reliable tool for accurate cilnidipine measurement, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes and ensuring high standards of pharmaceutical quality. The two suggested techniques effectively determined Cilnidipine; with a decent average recovery in pharmaceutical tablets 99.53%–100.2 % and in human urine and serum samples of 99.77%–100.58 %, no intrusions of co-existing additives present in commercial dosage forms were noted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":277,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Analytical Chemistry","volume":"53 8","pages":"Article 100563"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144721057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction

Sishen Wan (SSW), a classical traditional Chinese medicine decoction, is described to treat ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, but the molecular mechanisms of the main active ingredients of SSW on the interaction between mitochondria and T cells are still unclear. This study aimed to determine the main active ingredients of SSW, predict and explore the possible regulatory mechanism of main active ingredients of SSW in modulating mitochondrial function and ameliorating mitochondrial damage, followed by regulating T cell balance during UC development.

Methods

Colorimetric test and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were performed to evaluate the efficacy of SSW on inflammatory injuries of UC and preliminarily explore the mechanisms of SSW against oxidative stress. The main active components and their possible ligands were predicted by network pharmacology, molecular docking, dynamic simulation and three-dimensional-quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR). RNA-seq analysis and western blot (WB) was conduct to discover the impact of SSW on genetic profile changes, and discover and predict the potentials of anti-mitochondrial damage and proinflammatory T-cells of the selected bioactive compounds.

Results

SSW effectively ameliorated the colonic injuries and alleviated the oxidative stress in the dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced UC. Angelicin, corylifolinin, psoralen and rutaecarpine, derived from SSW, were identified as the main components of SSW, and might interact with CYP2C9 and CYP1A1 due to the lowest binding energy. SSW alleviated UC via regulating genes related to mitochondrial function and T cell responses based on RNA-seq data. Cytc-related targets and T cell-associated proinflammatory cytokines were downregulated, while mtDNA repairing-related targets were upregulated with SSW intervention. Moreover, the caspase, inflammasome and Th1 and Th17 polarizing-related genes are positively correlated with cytochrome C oxidase (COX), caspase and inflammasome-associated genes, respectively.

Conclusion

Taken together, this study not only identifies the main bioactive ingredients of SSW and their possible ligands, but also provides angelicin, corylifolinin, psoralen and rutaecarpine may alleviate oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage, followed by modulating Th1 and Th17-related proinflammatory cytokines.
四神丸(SSW)是一种治疗溃疡性结肠炎(UC)的经典中药汤剂,但其主要活性成分对线粒体与T细胞相互作用的分子机制尚不清楚。本研究旨在确定SSW的主要活性成分,预测并探讨SSW主要活性成分在UC发育过程中调节线粒体功能、改善线粒体损伤,进而调节T细胞平衡的可能调控机制。方法采用荧光定量法和实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)评价SSW对UC炎症损伤的疗效,并初步探讨SSW抗氧化应激的作用机制。通过网络药理学、分子对接、动态模拟、三维定量构效关系(3D-QSAR)等方法预测主要活性成分及其可能的配体。通过RNA-seq分析和western blot (WB)分析SSW对遗传谱变化的影响,发现并预测所选生物活性化合物抗线粒体损伤和促炎t细胞的潜力。结果sssw能有效改善葡聚糖硫酸钠(DSS)所致UC的结肠损伤,减轻氧化应激。从SSW中提取的Angelicin、corylifolinin、补骨脂素和rutaecarpine是SSW的主要成分,由于其结合能最低,可能与CYP2C9和CYP1A1相互作用。根据RNA-seq数据,SSW通过调节线粒体功能和T细胞反应相关基因来缓解UC。在SSW干预下,细胞相关靶点和T细胞相关促炎细胞因子下调,而mtDNA修复相关靶点上调。此外,caspase、炎性小体以及Th1和Th17极化相关基因分别与细胞色素C氧化酶(COX)、caspase和炎性小体相关基因呈正相关。综上所述,本研究不仅确定了SSW的主要生物活性成分及其可能的配体,还提供了当归素、石竹脂素、补骨脂素和芦果卡果素可能减轻氧化应激和线粒体损伤,进而调节Th1和th17相关的促炎细胞因子。

To clarify the biological process and pathway information, which were further visualized by using the microbiology platform. 120 male SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a raw product group, a processed product group, and a positive group for in vivo experiments. A liver and kidney yin deficiency model induced by levothyroxine sodium was established and continuously administered for 14 days. After the last administration, measure the thymus index, as well as the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, TP, ALB, CREA, UREA, and UA.

Results

LLF contains to 63 active components, 511 component targets, 1467 liver-related disease targets, 164 potential targets, 3571 kidney-related disease targets, 292 potential targets. GO functional enrichment involves negative regulation of protein phosphorylation, response to xenobiotic stimuli, apoptotic process, etc. KEGG signaling pathway involves lipids and atherosclerosis, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and so on. Compared with the blank group, the model group rats showed weight loss, significant thymus atrophy, and a significant decrease in thymus index. The levels of ALT, AST, ALP, CREA, UREA, UA, TP and cGMP were significantly increased, while the levels of cAMP, ALB and cAMP/cGMP were significantly decreased. Compared with the model group, both the positive group and each treatment group showed an increase in thymus index, which significantly reduced the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, CREA, UREA, UA, TP and cGMP in the serum of rats, and significantly increased the levels of cAMP, ALB and cAMP/cGMP. Moreover, there were certain differences between the processed and raw products of LLF. Compared with the raw group, processed LLF showed better effects in ALT, ALB, UREA, TP, cAMP, cAMP/cGMP and other aspects.

All over the world, breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women and is identified as the prevalent cause of death. Hence, the urgency of developing novel anti-breast cancer drugs for combating this deadly disease with potential efficiency is associated with current therapeutics. To address this issue, in our present work we collected recently analyzed 173 compounds from the scientific literature as much information as possible during 2021–2024 for the first time to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with breast cancer via comprehensive analysis that integrates network pharmacology, molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and Molecular Mechanics with Generalized Born and Surface Area solvation (MM/GBSA). Molecular properties and drug-likeness were screened for obtained compounds to probe into the mechanism of action. The compound-target network, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed with the aim of analyzing molecular mechanisms associated with breast cancer. Afterward, 12 potentially active compounds were carefully identified along with 192 common targets, including 8 pertinent core targets such as PIK3R1, PIK3CB, PIK3CA, PIK3CD, AKT1, AKT2, AKT3, and PTPN11. Molecular docking simulations revealed a robust score between AKT1-Capivasertib, PTPN11-Olaparib, PIK3R1-(1S)-2-(4-phenylmethoxyphenyl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)cyclopropan-1-amine, PIK3CA-(1S)-2-(4-phenylmethoxyphenyl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)cyclopropan-1-amine, PIK3CB-Capivasertib, AKT2-Ibuprofen Sodium, PIK3CD-Capivasertib and AKT3-N-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-propylpentanamide complexes with strong binding interactions of 9.2353, 9.2016, 8.7742, 7.8234, 7.7083, 7.6387, 7.3778 and 6.6705, respectively. The key findings of outcome are corroborated by molecular dynamics simulation at 300 K for 200 ns to reinforce intermolecular mechanism between pertinent core targets and potential active compounds. In addition, overall free binding energy is calculated for eight complexes employing MM/GBSA, and the results indicate that Capivasertib has energetically favourable binding towards PIK3CD with binding free energy of −41.14 kcal/mol. Finally, the light of these results provides new insights into understanding the mechanism of action, including compounds, targets, potent biological processes, cellular components, molecular functions, and pathways involved that may represent an essential part of current breast cancer therapeutics.

To address this issue, in our present work we collected recently analyzed 173 compounds from the scientific literature as much information as possible during 2021–2024 for the first time to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with breast cancer via comprehensive analysis that integrates network pharmacology, molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and Molecular Mechanics with Generalized Born and Surface Area solvation (MM/GBSA). Molecular properties and drug-likeness were screened for obtained compounds to probe into the mechanism of action. The compound-target network, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed with the aim of analyzing molecular mechanisms associated with breast cancer. Afterward, 12 potentially active compounds were carefully identified along with 192 common targets, including 8 pertinent core targets such as PIK3R1, PIK3CB, PIK3CA, PIK3CD, AKT1, AKT2, AKT3, and PTPN11. Molecular docking simulations revealed a robust score between AKT1-Capivasertib, PTPN11-Olaparib, PIK3R1-(1S)-2-(4-phenylmethoxyphenyl)-<em>N-</em>(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)cyclopropan-1-amine, PIK3CA-(1S)-2-(4-phenylmethoxyphenyl)-<em>N-</em>(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)cyclopropan-1-amine, PIK3CB-Capivasertib, AKT2-Ibuprofen Sodium, PIK3CD-Capivasertib and AKT3-<em>N-</em>(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-propylpentanamide complexes with strong binding interactions of 9.2353, 9.2016, 8.7742, 7.8234, 7.7083, 7.6387, 7.3778 and 6.6705, respectively. The key findings of outcome are corroborated by molecular dynamics simulation at 300 K for 200 ns to reinforce intermolecular mechanism between pertinent core targets and potential active compounds. In addition, overall free binding energy is calculated for eight complexes employing MM/GBSA, and the results indicate that Capivasertib has energetically favourable binding towards PIK3CD with binding free energy of −41.14 kcal/mol. Finally, the light of these results provides new insights into understanding the mechanism of action, including compounds, targets, potent biological processes, cellular components, molecular functions, and pathways involved that may represent an essential part of current breast cancer therapeutics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":277,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Analytical Chemistry","volume":"53 9","pages":"Article 100557"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144886813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
