    Abstract The resistance of pathogenic fungi and failure of drug therapy increased dramatically. Numerous studies have reported the individual or synergistic antifungal potency of natural and synthesized flavonoids, especially against drug-resistant fungi. This brief review summarizes the structure and individual or synergistic antifungal activity of natural and synthesized flavonoids (literatures mainly cover the past 10 years 2009-2019), with a special focus on the antifungal spectra, structure-activity relationship and mechanisms of actions. These may contribute to a better understanding of flavonoids as multi-target agents in the treatment of mycoses and provide some ideas on the development of novel flavonoids-based antifungals.

    Abstract Background: The synergistic effect of dihydromyricetin (DHM) and fluconazole (FLC) can improve the killing effect of FLC-resistant
    Methods: In this study, 12 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups as follows: (1) an FLC group in which rats were administered FLC only (42 mg/kg orally); (2) an FLC with the combined administration of DHM group, in which rats received an equivalent FLC dose immediately following the administration of DHM (100 mg/kg). Blood samples were collected from the ocular choroid vein of rats and converted into plasma. The concentrations of FLC in the rat plasma were then determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), and the related pharmacokinetic parameters were analysed. The initial mobile phase included 0.1% acetonitrile and water with gradient elution. Multiple reaction monitoring modes of m/z 307.2→220.1 for FLC, and m/z 237.1→194.2 for carbamazepine, were utilised to conduct quantitative analysis.
    Results: The calibration curve of FLC in rat plasma demonstrated good linearity in the range of 0.1-30 μg/mL (r > 0.99), and the lower limit of quantification was 0.1 μg/mL. Moreover, the intra- and inter-day precision relative standard deviation of FLC was less than 9.09% and 6.51%, respectively. There were no significant differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters between the two groups.
    Conclusion: The results showed that DHM administration did not significantly alter FLC pharmacokinetics in SD rat plasma.

    Abstract Li metal is a promising anode candidate due to its high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential. However, dendrite formation and the resulting dead Li cause continuous Li consumption, which hinders its practical application. In this study, we realized N-doped nanoporous carbon for a stable Li metal host composed only of lightweight elements C and N through the simple calcination of a nitrogen-containing metal-organic framework (MOF). During the calcination process, we effectively controlled the amount of lithophilic N and the electrical conductivity of the N-doped porous carbons to optimize their performance as Li metal hosts. As a result, the N-doped porous carbon exhibited excellent electrochemical performances, including 95.8% coulombic efficiency and 91% capacity retention after 150 cycles in a full cell with an LFP cathode. The N-doped nanoporous carbon developed in this study can realize a stable Li metal host without adding lithium ion metals and metal oxides, etc., which is expected to provide an efficient approach for reliable Li metal anodes in secondary battery applications.

    Abstract The high capacity of electrodes allows for a lower mass of electrodes, which is essential for increasing the energy density of the batteries. According to this, silicon is a promising anode candidate for Li-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity. However, its practical application is hampered by the significant volume expansion of silicon during battery operation, resulting in pulverization and contact loss. In this study, we developed a stable Li-ion anode that not only solves the problem of the short lifetime of silicon but also preserves the initial efficiency by using silicon nanoparticles covered with glassy ZIF-4 (SZ-4). SZ-4 suppresses silicon pulverization, contact loss, etc. because the glassy ZIF-4 wrapped around the silicon nanoparticles prevents additional SEI formation outside the silicon surface due to the electrically insulating characteristics of glassy ZIF-4. The SZ-4 realized by a simple heat treatment method showed 74% capacity retention after 100 cycles and a high initial efficiency of 78.7%.

    Abstract High hydrophilicity and soil fixation collectively hamper the delivery of phosphorus (P) released from conventional chemical phosphorus fertilizers (CPFs) to plant rhizosphere for efficient uptake. Here, a phosphorus nutrient nanocarrier (PNC) based on morphology-tailored nanohydroxyapatite (HAP) is constructed. By virtue of kinetic control of building blocks with designed calcium phosphate intermediates, rod-like and hexagonal prism-like PNCs are synthesized, both having satisfactory hydrophobicity (water contact angle of 105.4

    Abstract Chikungunya fever is an acute infectious disease caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and transmitted by Aedes mosquito. It is characterized by fever, rash and arthralgia with no effective drugs. Lomerizine (Lom) is a new generation calcium antagonist, which is mainly used in the treatment of migraine. Certain antiviral function of Lom was shown by some research. In our study, a series of new derivatives of Lom were designed and synthesized, and their in-vitro anti-CHIKV activity was tested. The results showed that Lom and its derivatives had potent anti-CHIKV activity and low cytotoxicity. Among them, compounds B1 and B7 showed most potent antiviral activity. Besides, structure-activity relationships, in-silico ADMET properties were also analyzed. Molecular docking study was performed to rationalize the SAR and analyze the possible binding modes between B1 and amino acid residues in the active site of nsP3 protein to enhance the understanding of their action as antiviral agents. These finding provides research basis for the design and synthesis of effective anti-CHIKV drugs with Lom as the lead compound.
