Summary: The VO-MnCo2O4/Ag nanozyme, prepared by hydrothermal, calcination, and self-reduction methods, showed high uricase-like activity and peroxidase-like activity due to its composition and structure. The catalytic reaction of VO-MnCo2O4/Ag nanozyme significantly enhanced the SERS signal of the detected molecule. A label-free, sensitive, and reliable SERS uric acid detection system was developed based on the enzyme-like activities of VO-MnCo2O4/Ag.

Summary: Uncertainties exist in plasma protein binding and blood distribution of the COVID-19 therapeutics favipiravir (FAVI), molnupiravir (MOLNU), and imatinib (IMA). This study investigated the proton dissociation processes, solubility, lipophilicity, and serum protein binding of these drugs. The results showed different degrees of lipophilicity at different pH values. MOLNU was hydrolyzed by blood serum proteins, while FAVI had weak binding to blood proteins and IMA showed high affinity binding to AGP.

Summary: A series of novel estradiol-based salicylaldehyde (thio)semicarbazones and their Cu(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The Cu(II)-estradiol-semicarbazone complex structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. The Cu(II) complexes of estradiol-TSC and its N,N-dimethyl derivative showed high cytotoxicity against cancer cells and significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria strain. Estradiol-TSCs exhibited efficient antioxidant activity, which was decreased by complexation with Cu(II) ions. The exchange of estrone moiety to estradiol did not significantly affect the physicochemical and biological properties.

Summary: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a major cause of global dementia cases, affecting around 50 million people worldwide. The leaves of olive trees contain bioactive compounds such as oleuropein (OLE) and hydroxytyrosol (HT), which have shown medicinal properties in fighting AD. Olive leaf (OL), OLE, and HT can reduce amyloid-beta and neurofibrillary tangles formation, and OL has exhibited high cholinergic inhibitory activity. These compounds may also decrease neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, potentially promoting autophagy and restoring loss of proteostasis in AD models. Therefore, olive phytochemicals hold promise as an adjuvant in AD treatment.

Summary: This study reports the combination of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and single-cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SC-ICP-MS) for the first time. The method is used to evaluate the differences in cellular uptake of ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (FeNPs) loaded with cisplatin (IV) prodrug (FeNPs-Pt(IV)) and cisplatin, and their effects on cell viability. FACS is used to separate different cell populations, which are then analyzed using SC-ICP-MS to determine the intracellular amount of platinum. This combined methodology provides a more accurate understanding of the intracellular drug content and cell death mechanisms associated with different drugs, and opens up possibilities for future single-cell experiments.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
