The multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins MATE1 and MATE2K may determine the pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions of many drugs. However, their substrate spectrum and synergy with organic cation transporters OCT1 and OCT2 remain incompletely understood. Therefore, we screened 590 predominantly positively charged, low molecular weight compounds for transport via these four transporters in HEK293 cells using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). MATE1 and MATE2K transported 164 and 114 compounds, respectively, with significant overlap. High-affinity substrates included berberine, pentamidine, and amisulpride, while epinephrine and atenolol had the highest . Despite less than 16% sequence homology, there was high overlap among MATE1/-2K and OCT1/-2 substrates. Neither isolated physicochemical properties nor their linear combinations predicted the substrates of these organic cation transporters. However, machine learning classifiers using 15 parameters allowed 69 to 87% correct prediction. The large number of substrates indicates a possibly broad role of multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporters in pharmacokinetics and drug interactions.

Organic structure directing agents (OSDAs), such as tetrapropylammonium (TPA) cations, serve as crucial templates for the formation of zeolite frameworks. These organic molecules interact with inorganic species, guiding the assembly of the zeolite structure. In this study, we investigate the complex interplay between boron species and TPA cations during the crystallization of [B, Al]-ZSM-5 zeolites.

Difenoconazole (DFC) is a commonly used triazole fungicide known for its high efficiency and environmental persistence. A thorough understanding of its environmental behavior, particularly sorption in soil, is critical to obtain a comprehensive assessment of the ecological risk of DFC. In this study, three soils with distinct physicochemical properties (brown soil, cinnamon soil, and fluvo-aquic soil) were used to elucidate the adsorption mechanisms of DFC on soil.

Electrochemical depolymerization of lignin to produce low molecular weight aromatic compounds is characterized by mild conditions and low carbon emissions. However, using non-metallic catalysts for this process faces challenges in terms of selectivity and activity. This study found that high-melting-point organic salts - tetra-n-butyl tetrafluoroborate (TBABF), can function simultaneously as a catalyst and oxidant at room temperature and in air, effectively catalyzing the CO bond cleavage in lignin.

The bisphenols (BPs) contaminants with distinctive endocrine-disrupting properties have garnered significant attention. A new analytical methodology was proposed for the sensitive detection of hazardous BPs in efficient and food safety monitoring. The approach utilizes an ionic liquid-modified covalent organic framework (SCOF-V/IL-5F) as a solid-phase extraction adsorbent to enrich harmful BPs.
