Abstract In face of the everlasting battle toward COVID-19 and rapid evolution SARS-CoV-2, no specific effective drugs for treating this disease have been reported until today. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a receptor mediates virus infection by binding to spike protein. Although ACE2 is expressed in lung, kidney, intestine, its expressing levels are rather low, especially lung. Considering great infectivity COVID-19, we speculate that SARS-CoV-2 may depend on other routes...

The multifunctional cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF) β1 is secreted in a latent complex with its processed propeptide (latency-associated peptide [LAP]). TGFβ1 must be functionally released from this before it can engage TGFβ receptors. One mechanism of activation involves interaction the integrins αvβ6 and αvβ8 an RGD sequence LAP; other putative activators include thrombospondin-1, oxidants, various proteases. To assess contribution RGD-binding to vivo, we created mutation Tgfb1...

Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-couplings of 2-(2-azaaryl)acetates with aryl halides and triflates have been discovered. This reaction is potentially useful for the synthesis some functionalized pyridines, quinolines, pyrazines, benzoxazoles, benzothiazoles. Theoretical analysis shows that nitrogen atom at 2-position heteroaromatics directly coordinates to Pd(II) in decarboxylation transition state.

Chiral nanoporous metal–organic frameworks are constructed by using dicarboxyl-functionalized chiral Ni(salen) and Co(salen) ligands. The Co(salen)-based framework is shown to be an efficient recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of racemic epoxides with up 99.5% ee. MOF structure brings units into a highly dense arrangement close proximity that enhances bimetallic cooperative interactions, leading improved catalytic activity enantioselectivity in HKR...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used to mimic enzymes for catalyzing chemical reactions; however, low enzyme activity limit their large-scale application. In this work, gold nanorods/metal–organic (Au NRs/Fe-MOF) hybrids were successfully synthesized photo-enhanced peroxidase-like catalysis and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The enzyme-like of Au NRs/Fe-MOF was significantly enhanced under localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), because the hot electrons produced...

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) nanoparticles have been widely applied in photodynamic therapy (PDT) over the past few years. However, amorphous nanoaggregates usually occur their preparation, resulting loose packing with disordered molecular structures. This still allows free intramolecular motions, thus leading to limited brightness and PDT efficiency. Herein, we report deep-red AIE nanocrystals (NCs) of DTPA-BS-F by following facile method nanoprecipitation. It is observed that NCs...
