Machine Learning for Evaluating the Cytotoxicity of Mixtures of Nano-TiO2 and Heavy Metals: QSAR Model Apply Random Forest Algorithm after Clustering Analysis

With the development and application of nanomaterials, their impact on the environment and organisms has attracted attention. As a common nanomaterial, nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO₂) has adsorption properties to heavy metals in the environment. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) is often used to predict the cytotoxicity of a single substance. However, there is little research on the toxicity of interaction between nanomaterials and other substances. In this study, we exposed human renal cortex proximal tubule epithelial (HK-2) cells to mixtures of eight heavy metals with nano-TiO₂, measured absorbance values by CCK-8, and calculated cell viability. PLS and two ensemble learning algorithms are used to build multiple QSAR models for data sets, and the test set R² is increased from 0.38 to 0.78 and 0.85, and RMSE is decreased from 0.18 to 0.12 and 0.10. After selecting the better random forest algorithm, the K-means clustering algorithm is used to continue to optimize the model, increasing the test set R² to 0.95 and decreasing the RMSE to 0.08 and 0.06. As a reliable machine algorithm, random forest can be used to predict the toxicity of the mixture of nano-metal oxides and heavy metals. The cluster analysis can effectively improve the stability and predictability of the model, and provide a new idea for the prediction of cytotoxicity model in the future.

Investigation Driven by Network Pharmacology on Potential Components and Mechanism of DGS,a Natural Vasoprotective Combination,for the Phytotherapy of Coronary Artery Disease

Phytotherapy offers obvious advantages in the intervention of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), but it is difficult to clarify the working mechanisms of the medicinal materials it uses. DGS is a natural vasoprotective combination that was screened out in our previous research, yet its potential components and mechanisms are unknown. Therefore, in this study, HPLC-MS and network pharmacology were employed to identify the active components and key signaling pathways of DGS. Transgenic zebrafish and HUVECs cell assays were used to evaluate the effectiveness of DGS. A total of 37 potentially active compounds were identified that interacted with 112 potential targets of CAD. Furthermore, PI3K-Akt, MAPK, relaxin, VEGF, and other signal pathways were determined to be the most promising DGS-mediated pathways. NO kit, ELISA, and Western blot results showed that DGS significantly promoted NO and VEGFA secretion via the upregulation of VEGFR2 expression and the phosphorylation of Akt, Erk1/2, and eNOS to cause angiogenesis and vasodilation. The result of dynamics molecular docking indicated that Salvianolic acid C may be a key active component of DGS in the treatment of CAD. In conclusion, this study has shed light on the network molecular mechanism of DGS for the intervention of CAD using a network pharmacology-driven strategy for the first time to aid in the intervention of CAD.

PEMFC催化剂的研究：自制抗CO中毒Pt-Ru/C电催化剂的性质

用胶体法制备了抗CO中毒PEMFC阳极Pt-Ru/C电催化剂（标记为THYT－2）,对 比研究了THYT－2与Johnson Matthey (JM)公司同类品牌Pt-Ru/C催化剂的电化学及 其它物理化学性能。结果表明,THYT－2电催化剂在甲醇燃料电池和CO／H_2（Φ_ (CO) = 1 * 10~(-4)）的氢氧燃料电池中的电催化行为与JM催化剂相当,但THYT－ 2在低浓度CO氢气燃料中的电池性能更好。两种催化剂的其它物理化学性质具有类 似性：XPS分析结果表明THYT－2和JM催化剂 中都有三种不同价态的Pt存在：即金 属态Pt(0)、氧化态Pt(II)和Pt(IV)。HRTEM测试结果表明两种催化剂的粒径处在2 ～3 mn左右,这可能是它们拥有良好电化学性能的主要原因之一。本文还对催化剂 中Pt与Ru组分的分布和相互作用进行了讨论,提出了改进Pt-Ru/C电催化剂的思路 。     

Au57Ag53(C≡CPh)40Br12: A Large Nanocluster with C1 Symmetry

The controlled synthesis and structure determination of a bimetallic nanocluster Au₅₇Ag₅₃(C≡CPh)₄₀Br₁₂ (Au₅₇Ag₅₃) is presented. The metal core has a four‐shell Au₂M₃@Au₃₄@Ag₅₁ @Au₂₀ (M=1/3 Au+2/3 Ag) architecture. In contrast to the previously reported large nanoclusters that have highly symmetric kernel structures, the metal atoms in Au₅₇Ag₅₃ are arranged in an irregular manner with C₁ symmetry. This cluster exhibits excellent thermal stability and is robust under oxidative or basic conditions. The silver precursors play a key role in dictating the structures of the nanoclusters, which suggests the importance of the counteranions used.

Mono‐ and Dinuclear Phosphorescent Rhenium(I) Complexes: Impact of Subcellular Localization on Anticancer Mechanisms

Elucidation of relationship among chemical structure, cellular uptake, localization, and biological activity of anticancer metal complexes is important for the understanding of their mechanisms of action. Organometallic rhenium(I) tricarbonyl compounds have emerged as potential multifunctional anticancer drug candidates that can integrate therapeutic and imaging capabilities in a single molecule. Herein, two mononuclear phosphorescent rhenium(I) complexes ( Re1 and Re2 ), along with their corresponding dinuclear complexes ( Re3 and Re4 ), were designed and synthesized as potent anticancer agents. The subcellular accumulation of Re1–Re4 was conveniently analyzed by confocal microscopy in situ in live cells by utilizing their intrinsic phosphorescence. We found that increased lipophilicity of the bidentate ligands could enhance their cellular uptake, leading to improved anticancer efficacy. The dinuclear complexes were more potent than the mononuclear counterparts. The molecular anticancer mechanisms of action evoked by Re3 and Re4 were explored in detail. Re3 with a lower lipophilicity localizes to lysosomes and induces caspase‐independent apoptosis, whereas Re4 with higher lipophilicity specially accumulates in mitochondria and induces caspase‐independent paraptosis in cancer cells. Our study demonstrates that subcellular localization is crucial for the anticancer mechanisms of these phosphorescent rhenium(I) complexes.     

An Atomically Precise Au10Ag2 Nanocluster with Red–Near‐IR Dual Emission

A red–near‐IR dual‐emissive nanocluster with the composition [Au₁₀Ag₂(2‐py?C≡C)₃(dppy)₆](BF₄)₅ ( 1 ; 2‐py?C≡C is 2‐pyridylethynyl, dppy=2‐pyridyldiphenylphosphine) has been synthesized. Single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis reveals that 1 has a trigonal bipyramidal Au₁₀Ag₂ core that contains a planar Au₄(2‐py?C≡C)₃ unit sandwiched by two Au₃Ag(dppy)₃ motifs. Cluster 1 shows intense red–NIR dual emission in solution. The visible emission originates from metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer (MLCT) from silver atoms to phosphine ligands in the Au₃Ag(dppy)₃ motifs, and the intense NIR emission is associated with the participation of 2‐pyridylethynyl in the frontier orbitals of the cluster, which is confirmed by a time‐dependent density functional theory (TD‐DFT) calculation.
