Enhanced stability designs of cell membrane chromatography for screening drug leads

Cell membrane chromatography is an effective method for screening bioactive components acting on specific receptors in complex systems, which maintains the biological activity of the membrane receptors and improves screening efficiency. However, traditional cell membrane chromatography suffers from poor stability, resulting in a limited life span and low reproducibility, greatly limiting the application of this method. To address this problem, cyanuric chloride-decorated silica gel was used for the covalent immobilization of the cell membranes. Cyanuric chloride reacts with amino groups on the cell membranes and membrane receptors to form covalent bonds. In this way, the cell membranes are not easy to fall off. The column life of the cyanuric chloride-decorated epidermal growth factor receptor/cell membrane chromatography column was extended to more than 8 days, whereas the column life of the normal cell membrane chromatography column dropped sharply in the first 3 days. A cyanuric chloride-decorated epidermal growth factor receptor/cell membrane chromatography online HPLC-IT-TOF-MSn system was applied for screening drug leads from Trifolium pratense L. One potential drug lead, formononetin, which acts on the epidermal growth factor receptor, was screened. Our strategy of covalently immobilizing cell membrane receptors also improved the stability of cell membrane chromatography.

用于锂硫电池高效硫载体的Co-N-C@KB复合材料的规模化制备策略

硫正极较差的性能严重阻碍了锂硫电池的商业化进程,这些因素包括较低的导电能力以及在促进多硫化物转化方面较差的催化活性。我们开发了一种基于配体调控合成和低温热解的规模化策略来制备高效的正极复合材料（Co-N-C@KB）,这种材料由富含Co-N-C活性位点的科琴黑（KB）组成。原子级分散的Co-N-C活性位点被证明有利于多硫化物在正极的转化,因而可以提高锂硫电池的容量和循环寿命。基于此,Co-N-C@KB作为正极可以使锂硫电池获得高达1 442 mAh·g^-1的初始放电容量,并且该电池在长时间的稳定性测试中具有出色的容量保持能力。

Hemin和CopC相互作用的光谱和分子模拟研究

本文通过光谱技术以及分子模拟手段研究了CopC与hemin的相互作用。紫外可见光谱表明hemin中Fe³⁺可能与CopC中的组氨酸(His1或His91)形成配位。此外,荧光光谱表明CopC与hemin的主要弱作用力为疏水作用力。圆二色谱、化学变性、荧光寿命以及同步荧光实验表明hemin与CopC的配位使得CopC的稳定性降低,并且色氨酸周围环境的疏水性减弱。紫外可见及荧光光谱表明,两者结合常数在10⁶左右,结合比为1,hemin与CopC中唯一的色氨酸(Trp83)的距离为1.06 nm。最后通过分子对接模拟了CopC与hemin的相互作用,结果表明hemin中Fe³⁺可能与CopC中的组氨酸(His1)形成与卟啉环平面垂直的轴向配位,并且与Trp83距离为0.96 nm,与实验结果一致。

Design and Construction of 3D Porous Na3V2(PO4)3/C as High Performance Cathode for Sodium Ion Batteries

An easy and delicate approach using cheap carbon source as conductive materials to construct 3D sequential porous structural Na3V2(PO4)3/C(NVP/C)with high performance for cathode materials of sodium ion battery is highly desired.In this paper,the NVP/C with 3D sequential porous structure is constructed by a delicate approach named as“cooking porridge”including evaporation and calcination stages.Especially,during evaporation,the viscosity of NVP/C precursor is optimized by controlling the adding quantity of citric acid,thus leading to a 3D sequential porous structure with a high specific surface area.Furthermore,the NVP/C with a 3D sequential porous structure enables the electrolyte to interior easily,providing more active sites for redox reaction and shortening the diffusion path of electron and sodium ion.Therefore,benefited from its unique structure,as cathode material of sodium ion batteries,the 3D sequential porous structural NVP/C exhibits high specific capacities(115.7,88.9 and 74.4 mA·h/g at current rates of 1,20 and 50 C,respectively)and excellent cycling stability(107.5 and 80.4 mA·h/g are remained at a current density of 1 C after 500 cycles and at a current density of 20 C after 2200 cycles,respectively).     

Preparation of Alum-borneol-PVP Drug-loaded Fibers by Electrospinning

The alum-borneol nanoemulsion(ABN), which combines the mineral medicine alum and the botanical medicine borneol, has been applied for approximately 40 years in the clinical treatment of burns, scalds, radiation dermatitis and shingles, and has a good curative effect. However, the current formula and dosage form of ABN pose problems of low borneol content and ease of precipitation, which greatly affects the efficacy of the drug. In this study, polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) was selected as a carrier mixed with different proportions of alum and borneol to produce alum-borneol-PVP fibers(ABPF) by electrospinning. The results showed that the stable system with good drug dispersion was 2:3(alum:borneol). The dissolution content of borneol from the ABPF was about 80% in 4 h, which was much higher than that of the alum-borneol liquid(ABL) and ABN. The ABPF membrane showed a more significant inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus than the ABL and ABN. The composite fiber markedly increased the drug content of borneol, which was 800 times of that in ABN. The fiber had a higher solubility than the nanoemulsion in vitro, which is of great importance for the de-velopment of new forms for the clinical application of alum and borneol.
