Summary: The concept of water purification using recyclable vitrimers has led to the development of covalent adaptable networks (CAN), a new class of polymeric materials with great interest in production. In this study, poly(glycidyl methacrylate-comethacrylic acid) copolymers (P(GMA-co-MAA)) with different molar ratios were synthesized for their stimuli-responsiveness and recyclability. Vitrimer hydrogels were successfully prepared using citric acid as a crosslinker, and their physical and thermal characteristics were investigated. The hydrogels showed a maximum swelling ratio for V(GMA5-co-MAA95) copolymer. Furthermore, the adsorption and desorption behavior of methylene blue (MB) by vitrimers and their recycled samples were studied, with the highest adsorption observed for samples with the highest molar ratio of MAA. The prepared and recycled V(GMA-co-MAA) vitrimers exhibited maximum adsorption efficiency at pH=10 and initial MB concentration of 5 mg/L. The kinetics and isotherm of adsorption were evaluated, with the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models showing the best fit to the experimental data.

Summary: This work demonstrates the great potential of H-bonded, pH-sensitive P(MAA-g-EG) gels as protein carriers. The use of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains promotes mucoadhesion in the small intestine, increasing the likelihood of drug release within the absorptive intestinal wall. PEGylation of insulin protects the drug from degradation and improves its stability. Cellular transport and changes in transepithelial resistance caused by PEGylated insulin (PI) were analyzed using a co-culture of Caco-2 and HT-29-MTX cells. The in vivo absorption of insulin in rats confirmed the biological activity of PEGylated insulin conjugates.

Summary: In recent years, hundreds of novel small molecular drugs have been studied in clinical trials for various treatments worldwide. However, less than 10% of these drugs are eventually used due to diverse problems. In order to improve efficacy and efficiency, research has focused on the creation of assemblies of peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) which have shown potential for overcoming complications. This review summarizes the recent developments in the creation of self-assembled nanostructures of PDCs for cancer therapy and discusses the chemical and physical properties of these drugs and peptides, as well as their mechanisms of action and remaining challenges in this field.

Summary: Fluorescent derivatives have gained attention for their applications as sensors, photocatalysts, and functional materials. Researchers have successfully created amphiphilic fluorescent derivatives of calixarenes by introducing a fluorescein derivative into different (thia)calix[4]arene azide derivatives. The aggregation behavior of the macrocycles was studied using various techniques, and it was found that alkyl-substituted calixarene derivatives form spherical aggregates, while symmetrical tetrafluorescein-containing thiacalix[4]arene forms worm-like aggregates. The macrocycle with tetradecyl fragments showed the highest efficiency in the photoredox ipso-oxidation of phenylboronic acid, and triethylamine was found to be the most effective electron donor for the reaction. Additionally, the surfactant Triton-X100 was shown to improve the photocatalytic abilities of the oligoethylene glycol fluorescein derivative, highlighting the importance of combining micellar and photoredox catalysis.

Summary: This article presents new potential hypoxia-sensitive azo-thiacalix[4]arenes derivatives in the 1,3-alternate configuration. Previous studies have shown that azo derivatives of calix[4]arene in the cone conformation can form complexes with rhodamine dyes. The synthesis of new azo derivatives using the thiacalix[4]arene platform is the focus of this work. A highly productive method for the synthesis of thiacalixarene with four anionic sulfonate azo fragments on the lower rim (compounds 2a-b) for further complexation with cationic dyes is reported.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the structure and spectra of distally substituted para-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene aliphatic (C1) and aromatic (C2) esters. Calculations showed that the most stable conformation for C1 and C2 molecules is a distorted cone 2 (DC2) with the same ester group orientation. Thiacalixarene molecules' cavities shrink when aromatic ester groups replace aliphatic ester groups. The replacement also leads to changes in ionization energy, electron affinity, chemical potential, softness, electrophilicity index, and dipole moment.

Summary: Calix[4]arene derivatives with O-propargyl moieties can undergo reductive depropargylation in the presence of hydrazine hydrate, forming 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles. The propargyl group can be used for selective nitration, and the addition of a nickel catalyst with hydrazine hydrate leads to the reduction of nitro groups, resulting in calixarenamines with free hydroxy groups.

Summary: In this study, a series of calixarenes derivatized with 3-phenyl-1H-pyrazole units were synthesized and characterized. These compounds showed specific cytotoxicity for M-HeLa cells with low mutagenicity and haemotoxicity. Compound 7b and 7c induced apoptosis in M-HeLa cells through the mitochondrial pathway and arrested the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase. The overexpression of DNA damage markers in pyrazole-treated M-HeLa cells suggested that calixarene pyrazoles target DNA, which was supported by the interactions between calixarenes and ctDNA at the air-water interface.

Summary: A biocompatible supramolecular system based on sodium alginate and viologen calix[4]resorcinol for encapsulation of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) has been obtained. The polymer-macrocycle ratio at which stable nanoparticles are formed has been determined and their morphological characteristics have been identified using various physicochemical methods. It has been observed that an increase in the concentration of calix[4]resorcinol leads to larger nanoparticles with a change in zeta potential from negative to positive. The optimal supramolecular system for DOX binding has been found to have a macrocycle-polymer ratio of 1 : 50, and altering the components ratio can control drug release. The study demonstrates the effects of encapsulated DOX on the physicochemical and biological properties of the supramolecular system.

Summary: A supramolecular system consisting of viologen calix[4]resorcinol and sodium alginate in an aqueous medium was investigated using various physicochemical methods. It was discovered that stable nanoparticles can be formed when sodium alginate and viologen calix[4]resorcinol are present at macrocycle : polymer concentration ratios from 1 : 2 to 1 : 10, and these nanoparticles are capable of encapsulating hydrophobic substances with biological activity. The presence of encapsulated substrates increases the selectivity of quercetin and oleic acid against M-HeLa tumor cells by 2.47 and 1.14 times, respectively.

The results showed that the chemical modification increased the fraction of micropores, specific surface area, and changed the surface properties of biochar. The experiment also revealed that biochar pretreated with alkali exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity for copper ions. A conceptual model identifying the mechanisms of copper adsorption on sapropel-based biosorbent was proposed.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.

Summary: This study aims to develop a nano-biofungicide comprising of volatile essential oil molecules to enhance its efficacy in the field of agriculture through easily scalable green synthesis technique. The nano biofungicide was prepared through one pot hot melt ultrasonication technique with easy water dispersibility and long term stability. The physico-chemical analysis revealed that, nano bio-fungicides were amorphous sphere-shaped nanoparticles with low melting point. The encapsulation efficiency of major components of essential oil was determined, and it was found that they followed Higuchi model of release kinetics. The essential oil loaded nanostructured lipid carrier showed significantly higher mycelial growth inhibition compared to pure essential oil, indicating enhanced bio-efficacy.
