Poly(2‐Oxazoline)‐Based Functional Peptide Mimics: Eradicating MRSA Infections and Persisters while Alleviating Antimicrobial Resistance

Peptides have important biological functions. However, their susceptibility to proteolysis limits their applications. We demonstrated here for the first time, that poly(2‐oxazoline) (POX) can work as a functional mimic of peptides. POX‐based glycine pseudopeptides, a host defense peptide mimic, had potent activities against methicillin‐resistant S. aureus, which causes formidable infections. The POX mimic showed potent activity against persisters that are highly resistant to antibiotics. S. aureus did not develop resistance to POX owning to the reactive oxygen species related antimicrobial mechanism. POX‐treated S. aureus is sensitive to common antibiotics, demonstrating no observable antimicrobial pressure or cross‐resistance in using antimicrobial POX. This study highlights POX as a new type of functional mimic of peptides and opens new avenues in designing and exploring peptide mimetics for biological functions and applications.     

Numerical simulation and experiment of TA2 sheet forming under laser shock

The effects of laser energy and different shock spaces and shock times on the TA2 titanium sheet deformation are investigated experimentally and simulated numerically by ABAQUS software. The results indicate that the amount of TA2 sheet deformation increases with the increase of laser energy, varies with shock order and shock path, and is the greatest when the shocks are along the length of sheet and symmetrical.The numerically simulative results are consistent with the experimental data.     

Antibacterial Activities and Nuclease Properties of Two New Ternary Copper(II) Complexes with 2‐(4′‐Thiazolyl)‐benzimidazole and 2,2′‐Bipyridine/1,10‐phenanthroline

Two new complexes: [Cu(TBZ)(bipy)Cl]Cl·H₂O ( 1 ) and [Cu(TBZ)(phen)Cl]Cl·H₂O ( 2 ) [TBZ=2‐(4′‐thiazolyl)‐ benzimidazole, phen=1,10‐phenanthroline and bipy=2,2′‐bipyridine] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, and UV‐vis methods. Complex 2 , structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c in a unit cell of a=0.85257(12) nm, b=2.5358(4) nm, c=1.15151(13) nm, β=118.721(8)°, V=2.183.2(5) nm³, Z=4, D_c=1.624 g·cm⁻³, µ=1.367 mm⁻¹. The complexes, free ligands and chloride copper(II) salt were each tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of two gram‐positive (B. subtilis and S. aureus) and two gram‐negative (Salmonella and E. coli) bacteria. The complexes showed good antibacterial activities against the microorganisms. The interaction between the complexes and calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution was investigated adopting electronic absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity measurements and cyclic voltammetry. Results suggest that the two complexes can bind to DNA by intercalative mode. In addition, the result of agarose gel electrophoresis suggested that the complexes can cleave the plasmid DNA at physiological pH and room temperature. Mechanistic studies with different inhibiting reagents reveal that hydroxyl radicals, and a singlet oxygen‐like copper‐oxo species are all involved in the DNA scission process mediated by the complexes.

Dual nanocatalysts co-decorated three-dimensional,laser-induced graphene hybrid nanomaterials integrated with a smartphone portable electrochemical system for point-of-care non-enzymatic glucose diagnosis

Non-enzymatic biosensors based on various nanomaterials with large surface-volume ratios and high catalytic efficiencies have been proposed to compensate for the non-stability and high cost of enzymatic biosensors. However, the construction of a stable, highly sensitive, flexible, three-dimensional (3D), microstructured, non-enzymatic biosensor integrated with a smartphone-based portable system has been challenging. Herein, highly conductive laser-induced graphene (LIG) array with a honeycomb-like 3D microstructure co-decorated with copper(I) oxide and gold nanocatalysts was developed via simple and green electro-deposition and chemical reduction approaches for a miniaturized electrochemical flexible non-enzymatic biosensor. SEM, XRD, Raman and XPS analyzations indicated that the Cu₂O and Au nanocatalysts co-decorated three-dimensional, laser-induced graphene hybrid nanomaterials were developed successfully. The signal of the biosensor was improved by more than 10 fold compared to the LIG alone due to the co-decorated with copper(I) oxide and gold nanocatalysts. The fabricated electrochemical biochip was integrated with a smartphone-based microstation for glucose monitoring, presenting a larger linear interval of 1–20 mM with an excellent sensitivity of 236 μA/mM/cm² and a relatively low detection limit of 0.31 μM. Noticeably, the biochip could measure blood sugar on curved surfaces and still deliver stable sensing signals after being bent back-and-forth 25 times. The novel biosensor is a potentially valuable flexible electronic device. The hybrid nanomaterials developed in this work may be applicable to other biosensing, catalytic, and energy devices (supercapacitors and batteries).

Molecular nanofibers of olsalazine form supramolecular hydrogels for reductive release of an anti-inflammatory agent

Conjugation of tripeptide derivatives with olsalazine, a clinically used anti-inflammatory prodrug, yields small molecules that self-assemble in water to form supramolecular hydrogels that undergo a gel-to-sol phase transition upon reduction, resulting in the controlled release of 5-aminosalicylic acid as the anti-inflammatory agent. This methodology will ultimately lead to new biomaterials for site-specific drug delivery.
