AB  - Serotonin receptors modulate numerous behavioral and neuropsychological processes. Therefore, they are the target for the action of many drugs, such as antipsychotics, antidepressants, antiemetics, migraine remedies, and many others. The 5-HT1A receptors have been involved in the pathogenesis and treatment of anxiety and depression and represent a promising target for new drugs with reduced extrapyramidal side effects. In most antidepressants, a piperazine-based structural motif can be identified as a common moiety. Here we describe the synthesis, pharmacological, and in silico characterization of a novel arylpiperazines series with excellent 5-HT1A affinity. The final compounds, 4a, 8a, and 8b, were selected according to predictions of in silico pharmacokinetics, docking analysis, and molecular dynamics in conjunction with physical properties, and metabolic stability. The accentuated molecules could serve as a lead compound for developing 5-HT1A drug-like molecules for depression treatment.

AB  - In this study,we conducted a comprehensive investigation of newly synthesized fullerene derivatives developed for potential application in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). We explored three novel dihydrofuran-fused C60 fullerene derivatives (13, 14, and 15) that we respecifically designed to enhance solubility and interaction with the substrate, fluorine-dopedtinoxide (FTO). A comparative analysis was performed, with reference to the widely used phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) and compound 12, from which 13, 14, and 15 are derived, to assess the impact of sugar units on materials properties.The synthesized compounds demonstrated significant solubility in common organic solvents, a critical factor in their potential application in wet-processed PSCs. Our investigation included electrochemical property analysis, thin film deposition, surface characterization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). EIS measurements unveiled key in sights into charge transfer properties at the electrode/electrolyte interface, making the compounds attractive candidates for electron transport layers (ETLs) in PSCs.

AB  - The widespread abuse of traditional antibiotics has led to a global rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which give in return unprecedented health risks. Therefore, there is a large and urgent need for the development of new, smart antibacterial agents able to efficiently kill or inhibit bacterial growth. In this study, we investigated the antibacterial activity of S, N-doped Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) as a light-triggered antibacterial agent. Gamma irradiation was employed as a tool to achieve one-step modification of GQDs in the presence of L-cysteine amino acid as a source of heteroatoms. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and zeta potential measurements provided the necessary data to clarify the structure of modified dots and verify the introduction of both S- and N-atoms in GQDs structure, but also severe changes in the aromatic, sp2 domains. Namely, γ-irradiation caused a bonding of S atoms in 1.14 at.% mainly as thiol groups, and N in 1.81 at.% as amino groups, but sp2 contribution in GQD structure was lowered from 63.00 to 4.86 at.%, as measured in dots irradiated at a dose of 200 kGy. Fluorescence quenching measurements showed that L-cysteine-modified dots are able to bind to human serum albumin. The antibacterial activity of GQDs combined with 1 and 6 h of blue light (470 nm) irradiation was tested against 8 bacterial strains. GQD-cys-25 sample provided the best results, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as low as 125 μg/mL against S. aureus, E. faecalis, and E. coli after only 1 h of blue light exposure.

AB  - Serotonin receptors modulate numerous behavioral and neuropsychological processes. Therefore, they are the target for the action of many drugs, such as antipsychotics, antidepressants, antiemetics, migraine remedies, and many others. The 5-HT1A receptors have been involved in the pathogenesis and treatment of anxiety and depression and represent a promising target for new drugs with reduced extrapyramidal side effects. In most antidepressants, a piperazine-based structural motif can be identified as a common moiety. Here we describe the synthesis, pharmacological, and in silico characterization of a novel arylpiperazines series with excellent 5-HT1A affinity. The final compounds, 4a, 8a, and 8b, were selected according to predictions of in silico pharmacokinetics, docking analysis, and molecular dynamics in conjunction with physical properties, and metabolic stability. The accentuated molecules could serve as a lead compound for developing 5-HT1A drug-like molecules for depression treatment.

AB  - Common to all biological systems and living organisms are molecular interactions, which
may lead to specific physiological events. Most often, a cascade of events occurs, establishing an equilibrium between possibly competing and/or synergistic processes. Biochemical pathways that sustain life depend on multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors contributing to aging and/or diseases. This article deals with food antioxidants and human proteins from the circulation, their interaction, their effect on the structure, properties, and function of antioxidant-bound proteins, and the possible impact of complex formation on antioxidants. An overview of studies examining interactions between individual antioxidant compounds and major blood proteins is presented with findings. Investigating antioxidant/protein interactions at the level of the human organism and determining antioxidant distribution between proteins and involvement in the particular physiological role is a very complex and challenging task. However, by knowing the role of a particular protein in certain pathology or aging, and the effect exerted by a particular antioxidant bound to it, it is possible to recommend specific food intake or resistance to it to improve the condition or slow down the process.

AB  - Chemotaxonomy presents various challenges that need to be overcome in order to obtain valid and reliable results. Individual genetic and environmental variations can give a false picture and lead to wrong conclusions. Applying a holistic approach, based on multivariate data analysis, these challenges can be overcome. Thus, a metabolomics approach has to be optimized depending on the subject of research. We used 1H NMR-based metabolomics as a potential chemotaxonomic tool on the selected Euphorbia species growing wild in Serbia. Principal components analysis (PCA), soft independent modeling by class analogy (SIMCA) and Orthogonal Projections to Latent Structures Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) were used to analyze obtained NMR data in order to reveal chemotaxonomic biomarkers. The standard protocol for plant metabolomics was optimized aiming to extract more specific metabolites, which are characteristic for the Euphorbia genus. The obtained models were validated, which revealed that variables unique for each species were associated with certain classes of molecules according to literature data. In E. salicifolia, acacetin-7-O-glycoside (not found before in the species) was detected, and the structure of the aglycone part was solved based on 2D NMR data. In the presented paper, we have shown that metabolomics can be successfully used in Euphorbia chemotaxonomy.

AB  - Bisbibenzyls are specialized metabolites found exclusively in liverworts, until recently; they represent chemical markers of liverworts. Their occurrence in vascular plants was noticed in 2007, when they were found in Primula veris subsp. macrocalyx from Russia. This report prompted us to chemically analyze the two most common Serbian Primula species, P. veris subsp. columnae and P. acaulis, in order to determine the presence of bisbibenzyls in them. Our study revealed nine structurally distinct bisbibenzyls (1–9), identified based on 1D and 2D NMR, IR, UV and HRESIMS data. Among them were five previously undescribed compounds (2–6). The remaining com­ pounds found and previously described in the literature were: the bisbibenzyls riccardin C (1), isoperrottetin A (7), isoplagiochin E (8) and 11-O-demethylmarchantin I (9), as well as 4-hydroxyphenylmethylketone (10) and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylmethylketone (11). Riccardin C was the most dominant bisbibenzyl in both species studied. Previously, it was the first bisbibenzyl found in vascular plants (P. veris subsp. macrocalyx). An assessment of the cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds against A549 lung cancer and healthy MRC5 cell lines was also the subject of our study. Compounds 6 and 9 exhibited significant cytotoxic activity expressed by IC50 values of 12 μM, but the selectivity was not satisfactory.

AB  - This paper presents sustainable technology for environmentally friendly composite production. Biobased unsaturated polyester resin (b-UPR), synthesized from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) glycosylate and renewable origin maleic anhydride (MAnh) and propylene glycol (PG), was reinforced with unmodified and vinyl-modified biosilica nanoparticles obtained from rice husk. The structural and morphological properties of the obtained particles, b-UPR, as well as composites, were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The study of the influence of biosilica modification on the mechanical properties of composites was supported by hardness modeling. Improvement of the tensile strength of the b-UPR-based composite at 2.5 wt.% addition of biosilica modified with vinyl silane, named “b-UPR/SiO2-V” composite, has been achieved with 88% increase. The thermal aging process applied to the b-UPR/SiO2-V composite, which simulates use over the product’s lifetime, leads to the deterioration of composites that were used as fillers in commercial unsaturated polyester resin (c-UPR). The grinded artificially aged b-UPR composites were used as filler in c-UPR for the production of a table top layer with outstanding mechanical properties, i.e., impact resistance and microhardness, as well as fire resistance rated in the V-0 category according to the UL-94 test. Developing sustainable composites that are chemically synthesized from renewable sources is important from the aspect of preserving the environment and existing resources as well as the extending their life cycle.

agroclimatic conditions. Chemical analysis of the fruits confirmed the contents of 13 quantified
elements, 22 sugar compounds, 11 organic acids, 19 phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity in
68 plum cultivars. Dominated contents were noted for nitrogen (with the maximum mean value of
3.11%), potassium (8055.80 mg/kg), and phosphorous (7878.88 mg/kg). Averagely, the highest level
of sugars was determined for glucose (244.46 g/kg), fructose (197.92 g/kg), sucrose (208.25 g/kg),
and sorbitol (98.02 g/kg), organic acids for malic acid (24.06 g/kg), and for polyphenol compounds
were 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (66.31 mg/kg), and rutin (58.06 mg/kg). Applied principal component
analysis has been useful for distinguishing the plum cultivars from three areas in Norway where
copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, and sodium; sucrose, ribose, maltose, and raffinose;
p-hydroxybenzoic acid, rutin, ferulic acid, kaempferol 7-O-glucoside, p-coumaric acid, and 5-Ocaffeoylquinic acid were the most influential. In regard to human health and future breeding work
that will have the aim to produce functional food with high health-related compounds, the plum
cultivar ‘Mallard’ should be underlined due to the high level of elements, ‘Valor’ due to high sugar
content, ‘Helgøyplomme’ due to content of organic acids, and ‘Diamond’ due to the content of
phenolic compounds.

AB  - Biotechnological and biomedical applications of antibodies have been on a steady rise since the 1980s. As unique and highly specific bioreagents, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been widely exploited and approved as therapeutic agents. However, the use of mAbs has limitations for therapeutic applications. Antibody fragments (AbFs) with preserved antigen-binding sites have a significant potential to overcome the disadvantages of conventional mAbs, such as heterogeneous tissue distribution after systemic administration, especially in solid tumors, and Fc-mediated bystander activation of the immune system. AbFs possess better biodistribution coefficient due to lower molecular weight. They preserve the functional features of mAbs, such as antigen specificity and binding, while at the same time, ensuring much better tissue penetration. An additional benefit of AbFs is the possibility of their production in bacterial and yeast cells due to the small size, more robust structure, and lack of posttranslational modifications. In this review, we described current approaches to the AbF production with recent examples of AbF synthesis in bacterial and yeast expression systems and methods for the production optimization.

AB  - The modern lifestyle has increased our utilization of pollutants such as heavy metals, aromatic compounds, and contaminants that are of rising concern, involving pharmaceutical and personal products and other materials that may have an important environmental impact. In particular, the ultimate results of the intense use of highly stable materials, such as heavy metals and chemical restudies, are that they turn into waste materials, which, when discharged, accumulate in environmental water bodies. In this context, the present review presents the application of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensing for water pollutant detection. MOF composites applied as innovative luminophore or luminophore carriers, materials for electrode modification, and the enhancement of co-reaction in ECL sensors have enabled the sensitive monitoring of some of the most common contaminants of emerging concern such as heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, and cyanotoxins. Moreover, we provide future trends and prospects associated with ECL MOF composites for environmental sensing.

AB  - Herein, a screen–printed diamond electrode (SPDE) coupled with a “point-of-care” platform (30 µL-drop concepts, single-drop-detection approach) was successfully applied for the electrochemical determination of pterostilbene (PTS). Cyclic voltammetry identified irreversible oxidation of PTS, where oxidation peak was shown to be strongly dependent on the pH of the working environmental. Although the proposition of the detailed electrochemical oxidation mechanism of PTS goes out of the scope of the present research, we have determined the most probable reactive site of our analyte, by utilizing DFT-based reactivity descriptors (Fukui functions). For electrochemical quantification of PTS, oxidation peak at 0.32 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) was followed in presence of 0.5 mol L−1 of Briton–Robinson buffer solution (pH = 9). Coupled with the optimized parameters of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), SPDE detected PTS in two linear ranges (first range was from 0.011 to 0.912 µmol L−1; second range was from 0.912 to 4.420 µmol L−1), providing the LOD and LOQ on a nanomolar level (3.1 nmol L−1 and 10.0 nmol L−1, respectively). The selectivity of the optimized DPV method was found to be excellent, with the current changes of less than 7%, in the presence of ten times higher concentrations of the certain interferences. The practical applicability of the SPDE and single-drop-detection approach in dietary supplements (with a declared PTS content of 50 mg/tablet), with the recovery values ranging from 95 to 102%, shows that the developed method has high potential for precise and accurate PTS detection, as well as exceptional miniaturization possibilities of relevant equipment for on-site sensing.

AB  - There are ten million people in the world who have Parkinson’s disease. The most potent
medicine for Parkinson’s disease is levodopa (L-DOPA). However, long-term consumption of L-DOPA
leads to the appearance of side effects, as a result of which the control and monitoring of its concentrations are of great importance. In this work, we have designed a new electrochemical sensor for
detecting L-DOPA using a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with Eu2O3@Cr2O3 composite
nanoparticles. Rare earth elements, including Eu, are increasingly used to design new electrode
nanocomposites with enhanced electrocatalytic properties. Europium has been considered a significant lanthanide element with greater redox reaction behavior. We conducted a hydrothermal
synthesis of Eu2O3@Cr2O3 and, for the first time, the acquired nanoparticles were used to modify
CPE. The proposed Eu2O3@Cr2O3/CPE electrode was investigated in terms of its electrocatalytic
properties and then used to develop an analytical method for detecting and quantifying L-DOPA.
The proposed sensor offers a wide linear range (1–100 µM), high sensitivity (1.38 µA µM−1
cm−2
) and
a low detection limit (0.72 µM). The practical application of the proposed sensor was investigated by
analyzing commercially available pharmaceutical tablets of L-DOPA. The corresponding results indicate
the excellent potential of the Eu2O3@Cr2O3/CPE sensor for application in real-time L-DOPA detection

AB  - Euphorbia seguieriana ssp. seguieriana Necker (ES) and Euphorbia cyparissias (EC) with a habitat in the Deliblato Sands were the subject of this examination. The latexes of these so far insufficiently investigated species of the Euphorbia genus are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of wounds and warts on the skin. To determine their chemical composition, non-targeted screening of the latexes’ chloroform extracts was performed using liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry employing an electrospray ionization source (LC-ESI QTOF MS). The analysis of the obtained results showed that the latexes of ES and EC represent rich sources of diterpenes, tentatively identified as jatrophanes, ingenanes, tiglianes, myrsinanes, premyrsinanes, and others. Examination of the anticancer activity of the ES and EC latex extracts showed that both extracts significantly inhibited the growth of the non-small cell lung carcinoma NCI-H460 and glioblastoma U87 cell lines as well as of their corresponding multi-drug resistant (MDR) cell lines, NCI-H460/R and U87-TxR. The obtained results also revealed that the ES and EC extracts inhibited the function of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in MDR cancer cells, whose overexpression is one of the main mechanisms underlying MDR.

AB  - Since the introduction of combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening in drug 
discovery in the early 1990s, the solubility of new chemical entities (NCE) decreased drastically 
while their lipophilicities increased greatly. Characterizing physicochemical properties of low soluble molecules can be especially challenging, since such molecules can undergo 
complicated reactions in aqueous solution, such as forming precipitates or complexes with 
buffer species or undergoing self-aggregation (dimer, trimer, etc.)1,2 or micelle formations. 
Most drugs are ionizable. Foremost to the rational interpretation of solution behavior of 
ionizable drugs in a physiologically-relevant pH domain requires an accurate aqueous pKa, 
determined by a suitable method. In a pH-dependent measurement of a property (e.g. 
solubility-, lipophilicity-, permeability-pH), when the apparent pKa value is different from the 
true aqueous pKa value, it may be an early clue that nonideal solution behavior may be taking 
place. In pharmaceutical research, it may seem cost-effective to use calculated pKa instead of 
measured values, but paradoxically, such preference can lead to inaccurate rationalization of 
the pH-dependent behavior of the drug molecule. For simple molecules, calculated values can 
be useful, but for today’s new drugs or for molecules prone to complicated solution behavior, 
the use of calculated pKas can substantially wrench the interpretation of solution properties. 
Clofazimine (CFZ), although discovered about 66 years ago, and used therapeutically for nearly 
40 years, exhibits some of the properties of relatively recent drug molecules by being 
extremely water insoluble and having variable pKa values reported. We have recently 
combined potentiometric titrations and UV/Vis spectrophotometry in methanol-water 
cosolvent media, accompanied by DFT calculations, to assess the hypothesis of CFZ free base 
dimerization. We reasoned that a soluble dimer might form from drug-drug adhesion along 
the hydrophobic molecular surface. With lessened exposure of the hydrophobic surface to 
water, the dimer would be more water soluble than the monomeric free base. In saturated 
solutions, the apparent solubility in alkaline pH would be elevated due to the presence of the 
dimer. The effect of that would be a lower pKa and reverse pKa cosolvent dependence – the 
behaviour we have noticed in CFZ aqueous solutions. These findings are of paramount 
importance for understanding of CFZ speciation and the future progress in developing its 
improved formulations which is the subject of our ongoing studies.

AB  - Methods for drug solubilization have become important part of modern drug discovery and 
development due to increasing number of extremely insoluble drugs and drug candidates. 
One of such methods is acid-base supersolubilization (ABS) [1]. Clofazimine (CFZ) is weakly 
basic antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drug, most notably used in the treatment of leprosy
and tuberculosis, with recently proven inhibitory activity against several coronaviruses [2].
We have recently unraveled its aqueous pKa value and its unique cosolvent dependence [3]. 
The aim of the present study was to investigate CFZ solubilization using the ABS approach. 
Eight small organic acids were tested for the ABS effect (glutaric, malic, tartaric, citric, 
malonic, maleic, succinic, adipic) but only glutaric (GA), malic (MA), and tartaric (TA) acids 
showed some solubilization effect. The effect of their concentration (and the solution pH 
value) was further tested. The solubility of CFZ was determined in GA, MA, and TA solutions 
in wide concentration (1.0×10-2 – 5.0 M) and pH range (~0.2 – 4.8). Equilibration time was 
24 hours (6 h of stirring + 18 h of sedimentation). Phases were separated by filtration. The 
CFZ concentration in supernatant was determined by HPLC-UV/VIS. Results show that CFZ 
solubility increases as acid concentration increases: from 3.04×10-3 to 10.68 mg/mL (in GA), 
from 9.06×10-3 to 1.23 mg/mL (in MA) and from 4.76×10-3 to 0.32 mg/mL (in TA). The effect 
of CFZ solubilization is much more pronounced when the acid concentration is raised above 
2 M. These results can be used as the basis for further CFZ formulation optimization.
Furthermore, our ongoing research is focused on the type of interactions and other possible 
factors that can influence CFZ and other prectically insoluble drugs, embracing (super)solu bilization as a general methodology in drug design and development.

AB  - Viral exonucleases play role in many processes essential for genome ma intenance,including DNA repair and recombination. Lambda exonuclease (λ -exo), isolated fromlambda bacteriophage, hydrolases double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the highly processivemanner in 5’→3’ direction, yielding mononucleotides and single -stranded DNA (ssDNA).This unique enzymatic properties offer several promising biotechnological applications,such as highly sensitive quantification of DNA modifications and single -moleculesequencing. Hence, optimization of the expression conditions is a prerequisite to achievehigh-level production of λ-exo. Here we have tested λ -exo expression in five different E.coli strains under various temperature regimes in order to establish the optimal conditionsfor efficient production of recombinant λ -exo. The N-terminally His -tagged λ-exo wassuccessfully expressed in E.coli BL21(AI), SHuffle T7, C41(DE3) and C43(DE3) strains inLB broth. Collected aliquots were analysed by SDS-PAGE, followed by CBB staining.Relative yield of target protein bands was determined by densitometry in total cell lysate, aswell as in soluble and insoluble cytoplasmatic fractions. We identified E.coli BL21(AI),SHuffle T7 and C41(DE3) as good producers of recombinant λ -exo, and upon scaling up, λ-exo was purified from crude cell lysates by metal affinity chromatography in satisfactoryyield. Our data suggest that densitometric analysis could serve as a powerful low-costscreening platform for improving recombinant protein expression strategies.

The sample cohort included 31 BD patients and 31 control individuals. An untargeted lipidomics study applying liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was conducted to achieve the lipid profiles. Multivariate statistical analyses (principal component analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis) were performed, and fifty-six differential lipids were confirmed in BD and controls. Our results pointed to alterations in lipid metabolism, including pathways of glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, glycerolipids, and sterol lipids, in BD patient sera. This study emphasized the role of lipid pathways in BD, and comprehensive research using the LC-HRMS platform is necessary for future application in the diagnosis and improvement of BD treatments.

AB  - In Sečovlje Salina Nature Park, the therapeutic mud matured in the natural sedimentary environmental site. This work aimed to determine the influence of the peloid maturation process on the hydrocarbon and elemental distributions, as well as changes in morphology. For this purpose, the sample before and after maturation was examined using various methods. n-Alkanes were the most abundant among saturated hydrocarbons in both immature and mature peloid samples. The results showed that the maturation mainly influenced the change in distribution and concentration (from 378 to 1958 ppm) of n-alkanes. The organic matter (OM) of the immature peloid sample was characterized by a slight prevalence of long-chain and odd carbon-numbered n-alkanes, maximizing at n-C27. However, mature peloid's OM showed a similar share of short-, mid- and long-chain n-alkanes with a slight dominance of short-chain members, maximizing at n-C16. The origin of short-chain and even carbon-numbered n-alkanes was attributed to microbial precursors (e.g., Leptolyngbyaceae). Hopanes were considerably more dominant compared to steranes in both peloids. The hopane series of immature peloid was characterized by the dominance of 22,29,30-trinor-hop-5(6)-ene (C27 hopene), as well as the presence of C30-hop-22(29)-ene (diploptene), which are widespread in cyanobacterial species. The aromatic fraction of immature peloid pointed to the predominance of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). As peloid aging progressed, the sample was richer in methyl-branched alkanes, carboxylic acids, their methyl esters, and thermodynamically more stable hopanes and steranes. The presence of elements with toxicological relevance during maturation was reduced below the limits prescribed in most of the directives for cosmetic products. It specifically refers to: As, Ni and Se. A higher concentration of total sulfur in the mature peloid can be related to gypsum precipitation in the summer and/or more intensive microbial activity.

The hopane series of immature peloid was characterized by the dominance of 22,29,30-trinor-hop-5(6)-ene (C27 hopene), as well as the presence of C30-hop-22(29)-ene (diploptene), which are widespread in cyanobacterial species. The aromatic fraction of immature peloid pointed to the predominance of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). As peloid aging progressed, the sample was richer in methyl-branched alkanes, carboxylic acids, their methyl esters, and thermodynamically more stable hopanes and steranes. The presence of elements with toxicological relevance during maturation was reduced below the limits prescribed in most of the directives for cosmetic products. It specifically refers to: As, Ni and Se. A higher concentration of total sulfur in the mature peloid can be related to gypsum precipitation in the summer and/or more intensive microbial activity.",
