Article Abstract

The synthesis of cyclohex-2-enone derivatives is a topic of current interest in organic chemistry. A novel three-component cascade reaction of alkynes with ketones and ethyl acetoacetate has been uncovered. This process provides di- and trisubstituted cyclohex-2-enones in good yields with excellent functional group tolerance. A variety of terminal alkynes and a wide range of aryl, alkyl, and cyclic ketones are viable in this transformation. Successful scale-up preparation and synthetic transformations have demonstrated the potential of this simple operating protocol.

Sarcosine (Sar), a critical potential biomarker for prostate cancer (PCa), is primarily detected via enzyme cascade reactions involving sarcosine oxidase (SOx) and peroxidase. Nevertheless, the intermediate product hydrogen peroxide (HO) tends to diffuse to the bulk solution phase without entering subsequent reaction, leading to suboptimal detection sensitivity and compromised analytical performance. To tackle this challenge, a multilayered sandwich nanozyme cascade sensor (designated as Cu-MOF/Rf@BDC) is proposed through a confinement-mediated HO enrichment strategy.

Radiation exposure initiates a cascade of reactions, including the release of reactive oxygen species, DNA double-strand breaks, and cellular apoptosis, leading to cell death, tissue damage, and potentially the development of cancer. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop highly effective and low-toxicity radioprotective agents. Traditional chemically synthesized protective agents face significant limitations in clinical applicability due to their pronounced off-target toxicity, narrow therapeutic window, and high production costs.

Harnessing the significant buildup of lactic acid (LA) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) for metabolic manipulation presents a promising avenue for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, single-agent therapies often fail to address the complex and varying needs of TME heterogeneity, posing a substantial scientific hurdle in oncology. In this context, we employ asymmetric mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AMS NPs) as delivery vehicles, simultaneously loading them with zinc‑cobalt‑manganese ferrite nanoparticles (ZCMF NPs), lactate oxidase (LOX), and doxorubicin (DOX).

Pax-5a gene, as a nucleic acid biomarker closely associated with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), holds significant potential for early disease diagnosis. In this study, we developed a highly accurate and efficient "on-super on-off" photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on a dual-photoelectrode heterojunction system integrated with a multisphere cascade DNA amplification strategy. The designed heterojunction dual-photoelectrode platform, comprising a InO/CdS photoanode (on state) and an in situ-formed MIL-68(In)/InO (MIO) photocathode, effectively extends the electron-hole transport pathway, enhances photogenerated charge separation, and produces high-amplitude signal output (super on state), thereby providing a robust baseline for signal transduction.
