Legacy perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are known environmental pollutants with serious adverse health effects. Perfluoroethercarboxylic acids (PFECAs), emerging PFASs now being substituted for legacy PFASs, have recently been detected in the environment. Cyclodextrins (CDs) proposed as agents remediation of problematic pollutants, including PFASs. The current study uses 19F NMR spectroscopy to measure complexation mono-, di-, and triether PFECAs by CDs eventual applications. Eight were...
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a persistent organic pollutant known to cause adverse health effects, strongly binds human serum albumin (HSA). β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD), nontoxic cyclic sugar, complexes PFOA in host-guest complex and has been proposed for environmental remediation of PFOA. The interactions between HSA, PFOA, β-CD were investigated order determine if can reverse the binding with potential therapeutic applications toward exposure 19F Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), circular...
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been linked to negative health outcomes including cancer, thyroid disease, infertility, and developmental delays. β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD), a cyclic sugar, previously shown form strong host-guest complexes with PFOA, is proposed as means of environmental remediation respect this widespread contaminant. In the present study, β-CD was directly examined regards possible attenuation toxicity PFOA specifically employing zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo model....
Abstract Two bidentate ligands consisting of a fluxional polyarylacetylene framework with terminal phenol groups were synthesized. Reaction diethylzinc gives stereodynamic complexes that undergo distinct asymmetric transformation the first kind upon binding chiral amines and amino alcohols. The substrate‐to‐ligand chirality imprinting at zinc coordination sphere results in characteristic circular dichroism signals can be used for direct enantiomeric excess ( ee ) analysis. This chemosensing...
