Article Abstract

HS can influence people's health and life even at low concentrations. The development of HS probes via a facile and green strategy is still a challenge due to the expense and the efficiency. Herein, a colorimetric HS probe with good selectivity, high sensitivity, and rapid response was prepared based on celastrol (CST), which was an extract from Hook f. HS could affect the UV-vis spectra of the probe, resulting in the significant change of color from yellow to colorless, endowing the probe with the ability to quantitatively visualize HS within 1 min. The limit of detection of the probe was 84.49 nmol/L (2.879 ppb), which was far below the permissible exposure limit by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Moreover, the mechanism of the probe was revealed by density functional theory and further verified by NMR. Importantly, the CST-based probe can not only be used to evaluate HS in different water resources but also be applied in special protective apparatus to detect HS in the air. This study provides a new platform for the exploration of high-performance probes and rational use of natural products to meet the requirements for sustainable development.

IL12-based phototherapeutic nanoparticles through remodeling tumor-associated macrophages combined with immunogenic tumor cell death for synergistic cancer immunotherapy.

Various cancer therapeutic strategies have been designed for targeting tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), but TAM reprogramming-based monotherapy is often clinically hindered, likely due to the lack of a coordinated platform to initiate T cell-mediated immunity. Herein, we fabricated reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive human serum albumin (HSA)-based nanoparticles (PEG/IL12-IA NPs) consisting of indocyanine green (ICG), arginine (Arg), and interleukin 12 (IL12). Upon laser irradiation, the nanoparticles were found to be able to dissociate, thus facilitating the release of IL12.

A tetrahydroxydiboron-mediated radical cyclization of unactivated alkenes under photoinduced reaction conditions was developed to synthesize ring-fused quinazolinones for the first time. The concise, mild and photocatalyst- and oxidant-free conditions, as well as the good functional group tolerance, render this protocol a green and convenient strategy for synthesizing polycyclic ring-fused quinazolinones. Mechanistic studies indicated that the process might involve a radical pathway.

Multilayered Sandwich Structure Sensor: Confinement-Mediated HO Enrichment Strategy for Ultrasensitive and Long-term Stable Prostate Cancer Biomarker Detection.

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.

Pure-Green Circularly Polarized Multiple Resonance Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Enantiomers with Discontinuous Fused Benzene Rings.

State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure and Materials, College of Chemistry, Jilin University, Changchun, 130012, P. R. China.

Helicene-based circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials suffer from severely low color purity in circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs). Here, a novel molecular engineering strategy is introduced by replacing helicene containing continuous fused benzene rings with a multiple resonance (MR) framework comprising discontinuous fused benzene rings. This approach effectively suppresses high-frequency C─C bond stretching vibrations and enhances short-range charge transfer, enabling high color purity, CPL activity, and efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF).

A novel sulfinamide reagent was developed that enables the one-step installation of sulfinamides through palladium-catalyzed coupling with aryl iodides. This method offers distinct advantages, including the use of readily available starting materials and broad substrate compatibility. Moreover, the strategy was successfully extended to the synthesis of complex functional molecules.
