Abstract

Inaccurate diagnoses contributes to the high mortality rate of breast cancer. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in breast cancer tumors at around 20–30%. This study aims to develop an electrochemical biosensor for HER2 based on a gold nanoparticle-aptamer bioconjugate (AuNP@HER2 aptamer) and investigate the interaction between DNA aptamer and HER2 using computational methods. The bioconjugate was synthesized using maleimide and polyethylene glycol as a linker. The –NH2 group of cysteamine that modified the gold electrode can form a covalent bond with the bioconjugate maleimide. The interaction of the bioconjugated aptamer with HER2 was measured electrochemically based on the [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− redox system. The limit of detection, the linear range of HER2, precision, and accuracy in this study were 1.52 ng mL–1, 0.01 to 15.0 ng mL–1, 0.1298, and 94.06%, respectively. The structure of the DNA aptamer was modeled using mFold, Assemble2, and Chimera, with the interaction between the DNA aptamer and HER2 explored by NPDock. The modeling of the aptamer with HER2 showed that electrostatic interactions dominated the attractive forces. The resulting interaction pattern can be used as a template to improve the binding energy of the aptamer, thus providing insight into the development of aptamer-based biosensors.

Abstract

Recent trends in environmental remediation have shifted to the use of metal-organic framework (MOF) composites due to their unique structural properties. It is still challenging to diversify MOFs photocatalysts to fulfill application to treat toxic organic pigments. In this study, Fe-MOF bimetallic materials were synthesized by doping Mn2+ ions at different ratios. The structural and morphological characteristics of the materials were analyzed by XRD, UV-Vis, FT-IR, SEM, and UV-Vis DRS methods. Mn/Fe-MOF bimetallic organic framework materials were used to evaluate the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dyes. The results show that, under the same experimental conditions, the RhB degradation efficiency of Mn/Fe-MOF is enhanced than that of the pristine Fe-MOF catalyst under the influence of visible light. After 120 min, the RhB solution was decomposed to 91.78% by combining 0.1 Mn/Fe-MOF, H2O2, and visible light irradiation. At the same time, the presence of H2O2 in the reaction system also showed a strong impact on the efficiency of RhB degradation. The activity from the two metal centers of Mn/Fe-MOF contributes to the formation of a unique structure and composition that can be used as a photocatalyst for colored wastewater treatment.

Abstract

Series of 2-aryl-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole derivatives of 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole (1), 2-(4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole (2) and 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole (3) were produced and evaluated for their in vitro antimalarial activities against the chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain. A molecular docking study was also carried out against the crystal protein of Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (PfDHFR-TS) (PDB ID: 1J3I.pdb) to predict the interaction between the compounds and protein. The physicochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters were computationally performed to predict the parameters of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET). Imidazoles were synthesized from aryl aldehyde derivatives with benzyl and ammonium acetate in glacial acetic acid using microwave-assisted-organic synthesis. Compounds 1, 2, and 3 were produced in 64.33, 50.56, and 70.55% yields, respectively. The IC50 of compounds 1, 2, and 3 against chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain was found to be 1.14, 5.28, and 2.42 µM, respectively. The molecular docking study agreed with the in vitro data by showing the lowest CDOCKER energy for compound 1 (-47.48 kcal/mol), followed by 3 (-43.79 kcal/mol) and 2 (-41.47 kcal/mol). The physicochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters showed that imidazoles 1, 2, and 3 obeyed Lipinski rules of five to propose as lead compounds for the antimalarial agents.

Abstract

PVA-alginate hydrogel is a promising material for use in biomedical applications due to its desirable characteristics: biocompatible, durable, non-toxic, and low cost. However, the low gel strength of this composite limits its use in biomedical applications. This study aims to develop enhanced mechanical and thermal properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) PVA-alginate composite yarn by adding nanocellulose isolated from the sustainable oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFBs). The PVA-alginate composite yarns reinforced with nanocellulose were prepared with various nanocellulose contents (1 wt.%, 2 wt.%, and 5 wt.%). The composite's tensile strength exhibited an increasing trend with the addition of nanocellulose, while the elongation at break showed the opposite trend. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the composite's thermal degradation shifts to higher temperatures with the addition of nanocellulose. The observed activation energies for the thermal degradation calculated using the Coats-Redfern method exhibited a significant increment for the composites reinforced with nanocellulose. These results show that the addition of nanocellulose into the PVA-alginate matrix enhances the chemical and thermal properties of the resulting hydrogel. All these improvements have resulted from more abundant and robust hydrogen bonds generated by the nanocellulose presence.

Abstract

The high application of Poly(styrene-maleic acid) (PSMA) in an aqueous environment, such as biomedical purposes, makes the interaction between PSMA and water molecules interesting to be investigated. This study evaluated the conformation, the hydrogen bond network, and the stabilities of all the possible intermolecular interactions between PSMA with water (PSMA−(H2O)n, n = 1–5). All calculations were executed using the density functional theory (DFT) method at B3LYP functional and the 6–311G** basis set. The energy interaction of PSMA–(H2O)5 complex was –56.66 kcal/mol, which is classified as high hydrogen bond interaction. The Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) – Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energy gap decreased with the rise in the number of H2O molecules, representing a more reactive complex. The strongest hydrogen bonding in PSMA–(H2O)5 wasformed through the interaction on O72···O17–H49 with stabilizing energy of 50.32 kcal/mol, that analyzed by natural bond orbital (NBO) theory. The quantum theory atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis showed that the hydrogen bonding (EHB) value on O72···O17–H49 was –14.95 kcal/mol. All computational data revealed that PSMA had moderate to high interaction with water molecules that indicated the water molecules were easily transported and kept in the PSMA matrix.

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the potential Herb-Drug Interactions (HDIs) of the chemical compound in Andrographis paniculate Burm. f. against Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) and Pregnane X Receptor (PXR). The 1XVP and 1SKX obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) were used as the targeted protein. The molecular docking analysis was done using the Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) and molecular dynamics simulation using Gromacs. The results of the docking analysis showed that 14-Deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide had the strongest binding energy (1XVP-21.0998 Å) with the Arene-H binding type on Tyr326 and Andrographidine A had the strongest binding energy (1SKX-24.7363 Å) with the Arene-H binding type on Trp299. While Andrographolide is the major component, it also has a high affinity for the two PDB IDs (1XVP-17.4044 Å and 1SKX-21.8881 Å). Based on the RMSD value, the radius of gyration (Rg), and MM/PBSA on molecular dynamic simulations, it shows that the ligand and protein complex as a whole can bind strongly to amino acid residues at the active site. The complex also has sufficient stability and good affinity. Therefore, this study can predict the mechanism in HDIs, especially in CYP 450 expression through the activation pathways of CAR and PXR receptors.

Abstract

In forensic ballistics, gunshot residue (GSR) particles can be detected using screening or presumptive tests which are mainly focused on the chromophoric reaction. Most tests serve as an initial indication for a forensic investigator at the crime scene before instrumental analysis for definitive identification. The screening methods are known to be convenient, have fast analysis, and minimal preparation. In GSR analysis, the well-known method of detecting GSR known as the Modified Griess Test (MGT) requires acid and heat for the reaction. Therefore, this study demonstrated a new and rapid screening test named the Rapid Griess Test (RGT) for the detection of GSR. This study intends to improve the functionality of previous screening reagents in determining nitrite (NO2–), the composition present after shooting activity. To do this, chemical reagents with an amino group, 3-aminophenol, were substituted with alpha-naphthol. The experiment showed that the reactions were positive color changes using standard NO2– and real GSR samples. The diazotization reactions involving sulfanilic acid and 3-aminophenol produced azo dyes that changed the solution from colorless to orange in the presence of NO2–. The RGT reagent will make it possible to avoid using heat and the addition of acetic acids in a sample to form chromophoric reactions. Moreover, the colorimetric method using Video Spectral Comparator (VSC) showed that RGT had higher intensity of the orange color when compared to MGT.

Abstract

Silica functionalized with sulfonic acid catalyst (SiO2−SO3H) was synthesized through a one-pot method and evaluated as the catalyst material for esterification of levulinic acid in an excess amount of ethanol. Sodium silicate solution was used as the silica source, and then a silane coupling agent, namely GPTMS, was used to incorporate the sulfonic group of 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (AS) into the silica. Functionalization of AS using GPTMS in the slightly acidic condition has been successfully carried out based on the characterization with FTIR, SEM-EDX, and TGA measurements. Catalyst with the AS to SiO2 molar ratio of 5:6 (SiO2−SO3H(5)) showed the highest acid content (1.02 mmol g–1) and the highest conversion of levulinic acid (70%). The reaction followed pseudo-first-order with the rate constant of 0.00414 min–1. Catalyst material was regenerated by washing with alcohol and water, and the catalyst material can be reused at least for 3 cycles. From this study, the SiO2−SO3H produced from a green process is an effective catalyst to produce esters used in fuel additives.

Abstract

Polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) has recently evolved as an alternative separation technique to conventional solvent extraction as it eliminates the use of toxic solvents, reduces separation cost, and simplifies the separation process. PIM is the new generation of a liquid membrane made by casting solution containing liquid phases (extractant and plasticizer/modifier) and base polymers. Despite its better performance and stability in comparison to the previous types of liquid membranes, PIM's robustness for applications on an industrial scale is still considered insufficient mainly due to its limited stability in the long-term separation process. In recent years, different approaches have been devoted to improving the stability of PIM while maintaining its performance. This review aims to summarize and evaluate the current literature on the improvement of the performance of PIMs with particular focus on the use of alternative base polymers, including non-conventional linear homopolymers, copolymers, or cross-linking polymers. Furthermore, more emphasis is given to the composition, fabrication process, and application of the PIMs. Finally, the performance of the PIMs with the alternative base polymers in terms of extraction rate and long-term stability is presented and compared to the PIMs fabricated using their corresponding common base polymers.

Abstract

Four sesquiterpenoid derivatives, i.e., 4β,10α-dihydroxyaromadendrane (1), caryophyllenol-II (2), senecrassidiol (3), and clovane-2β,9α-diol (4) have been isolated from the stem bark of Aglaia simplicifolia. The chemical structures of compounds 1-4 were determined based on spectroscopic data, including one and two-dimensional NMR and mass spectroscopy. In addition, these sesquiterpenoids 1-4, were also tested for their cytotoxic activity against B16-F10 melanoma skin cancer cell lines through in vitro assay. Among the isolated compounds 1-4, compound 1 showed the highest activity with an IC50 value of 44.8 μg/mL, suggesting the presence of a cyclopropane ring that plays an essential role in cytotoxic activity against B16-F10 melanoma skin cancer cell lines.
