    Abstract The contamination of water by dyes in high concentrations is a worldwide concern, and it has prompted the development of efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly materials and technologies for water purification. The hydration and adsorption capacity for methylene blue (MB) in biocomposites (BCs) based on cellulose nanofiber (CNF) (0 to 2 wt%) were studied. BCs were synthesized through a simple and straightforward route and characterized by spectroscopy, microscopic techniques and thermogravimetric analysis, among others. Hydration studies showed that BCs prepared with 2 wt% of CNF can absorb large volumes of water, approximately 2274 % in the case of poly 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (PAMPS)-CNF and 2408 % in poly sodium 4-styrene sulfonate (PSSNa)-CNF. These BCs showed outstanding adsorption capacity for highly concentrated MB solutions (4536 mg g

    Abstract A series of 2-phenylamino-3-acyl-1,4-naphtoquinones were evaluated regarding their in vitro antiproliferative activities using DU-145, MCF-7 and T24 cancer cells. Such activities were discussed in terms of molecular descriptors such as half-wave potentials, hydrophobicity and molar refractivity. Compounds 4 and 11 displayed the highest antiproliferative activity against the three cancer cells and were therefore further investigated. The in silico prediction of drug likeness, using pkCSM and SwissADME explorer online, shows that compound 11 is a suitable lead molecule to be developed. Moreover, the expressions of key genes were studied in DU-145 cancer cells. They include genes involved in apoptosis ( Bcl-2 ), tumor metabolism regulation ( mTOR ), redox homeostasis ( GSR ), cell cycle regulation ( CDC25A ), cell cycle progression ( TP53 ), epigenetic ( HDAC4 ), cell-cell communication ( CCN2 ) and inflammatory pathways ( TNF ). Compound 11 displays an interesting profile because among these genes, mTOR was significantly less expressed as compared to control conditions. Molecular docking shows that compound 11 has good affinity with mTOR, unraveling a potential inhibitory effect on this protein. Due to the key role of mTOR on tumor metabolism, we suggest that impaired DU-145 cells proliferation by compound 11 is caused by a reduced mTOR expression (less mTOR protein) and inhibitory activity on mTOR protein.
