An Experimental Study to Assess the Ecotoxicity of Warfarin and Tinzaparin on Meiobenthic Amphipods: Original Taxonomic Data from Saudi Arabia and Computational Modeling.

In the current research, we examined the effects of warfarin (W1 = 5 mg/L and W2 = 25 mg/L) and tinzaparin (T1 = 5 mg/L and T2 = 25 mg/L) on meiofauna using microcosms. These microcosms were intentionally contaminated with both anticoagulants for one month. The findings indicated that nematodes and amphipods demonstrated the greatest resistance to the two anticoagulants evaluated.

Theoretical prediction of corrosion inhibition by ionic liquid derivatives: a DFT and molecular dynamics approach.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have recently attracted significant attention in many domains, particularly as potential corrosion inhibitors owing to their outstanding properties, including low vapor pressure, high thermal and chemical stability, and the ability to be tailored for specific applications. Their effectiveness results mainly from their ability to strongly interact with metal surfaces, often electrostatic and chemical interactions, thereby forming a protective barrier against corrosion. This study investigated three ionic liquids (ILs), namely, 3-(5-ethoxy-5-oxopentyl)-1-phenethyl-1-imidazol-3-ium bromide ([5E5O-Imid] Br), 3-(6-ethoxy-6-oxohexyl)-1-phenethyl-1-imidazol-3-ium bromide ([6E6O-Imid] Br), and 3-(4-acetoxybutyl)-1-phenethyl-1-imidazol-3-ium bromide ([4AB-Imid] Br).

Impact of climate change on the toxicity of bisphenol A in Mytilus galloprovincialis and assessment of phycoremediation using Nannochloropsis salina via a multi-biomarker strategy and modeling.

In the current study, the mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, exposed to four varying temperatures (17, 20, 23, and 26 °C), were contaminated with 50 μg/L of bisphenol A both with and without Nannochloropsis salina. The toxicity evaluation is determined by quantifying various biomarkers related to oxidative stress, neurotoxicity, and cellular damage. The key findings indicate that the toxicity of bisphenol A is heightened by rising temperature.

Assessment of the effects of paroxetine and zinc on crustaceans through integrated quantitative and taxon/functional tools with a focus on free-living marine copepods and amphipods.
