    Abstract Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), as a monitored chemical of the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Stockholm Convention and the Action Plan for New Pollutants Treatment in China, raises significant concerns on its impact of human health and food security. This study investigated enantiomer-specific biomarkers of HBCD in maize (Zea mays L.). Upon exposure to HBCD enantiomers, the maize root tip cell wall exhibited thinning, uneven cell gaps, and increased deposition on the cell outer wall. Elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) indicated lipid peroxidation, with higher mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) inhibition in (+)-enantiomer treatments (47.2%-57.9%) than (-)-enantiomers (14.4%-37.4%). The cell death rate significantly increased by 37.7%-108.8% in roots and 16.4%-62.4% in shoots, accompanied by the upregulation of superoxide dismutase isoforms genes. Molecular docking presenting interactions between HBCD and target proteins, suggested that HBCD has an affinity for antioxidant enzyme receptors with higher binding energy for (+)-enantiomers, further confirming their stronger toxic effects. All indicators revealed that oxidative damage to maize seedlings was more severe after treatment with (+)-enantiomers compared to (-)-enantiomers. This study elucidates the biomarkers of phytotoxicity evolution induced by HBCD enantiomers, providing valuable insights for the formulation of more effective policies to safeguard environmental safety and human health in the future.

    Abstract It is still challenging to achieve simultaneous and sensitive detection of multiple organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). Herein, we optimized the ssDNA templates for the synthesis of silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs). For the first time, we found that the fluorescence intensity of T base-extended DNA-templated Ag NCs was over three times higher than the original C-riched DNA-templated Ag NCs. Moreover, a "turn-off" fluorescence sensor based on the brightest DNA-Ag NCs was constructed for the sensitive detection of dimethoate, ethion and phorate. Under strong alkaline conditions, the P-S bonds in three pesticides were broken, and the corresponding hydrolysates were obtained. The sulfhydryl groups in the hydrolyzed products formed Ag-S bonds with the silver atoms on the surface of Ag NCs, which resulted in the aggregation of Ag NCs, following the fluorescence quenching. The fluorescence sensor showed that the linear ranges were 0.1-4 ng/mL for dimethoate with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.05 ng/mL, 0.3-2 µg/mL for ethion with a LOD of 30 ng/mL, and 0.03-0.25 µg/mL for phorate with a LOD of 3 ng/mL. Moreover, the developed method was successfully applied to the detection of dimethoate, ethion and phorate in lake water samples, indicating a potential application in OP detection.

    Abstract Indole is a prestigious heterocyclic skeleton widely found in both naturally-occurring and biologically-active compounds. Pharmaceutical agents containing an indole skeleton in their framework possess a wide range of pharmacological properties, including antiviral, antitumor, analgesic, and other therapeutic activities, and many indole-containing drugs have been proven to have excellent pharmacokinetic and pharmacological effects. Over the past few decades, the FDA has approved over 40 indole-containing drugs for the treatment of various clinical conditions, and the development of indole-related drugs has attracted significant attention from medicinal chemists. This review aims to provide an overview of all the approved drugs that contain an indole nucleus, focusing on their targets, pharmacological activities, and SAR studies.

Simultaneous determination of ultra-trace TBBPA, tribromobiphenol A (tri-BBPA), dibromobiphenol A (di-BBPA), monobromobisphenol A (mono-BBPA) and bisphenol A (BPA) was developed by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS), the parent ion charge ratios (m/z) had been optimized.

    Abstract The application of manure (M) and straw (S) will increase the Olsen P and phosphorus activation coefficient (PAC) in soil. Clarifying the increasing trend of Olsen P and PAC is crucial for rational fertilization. This study fitted the equation between the accumulated P surplus, Olsen P, and PAC in four treatments for 28 years and analyzed the changes and rates of P fractions. The results showed Olsen P and PAC increase linearly with NPK and NPKS treatments; for every 100 kg ha⁻¹ of P surplus, Olsen P increased by 5.9 and 6.7 mg kg⁻¹, and PAC increased by 0.52% and 0.50%. With M and MNPK treatments, the sigmoid curve equation was the best fitting method. The equilibrium values were 167 and 164 mg kg⁻¹ for Olsen P, and 10.4 and 10.2 mg kg⁻¹ for PAC. There was a correlation between Al-P, Ca₂-P, Resin-P, NaOH-Pᵢ, C/N, SOC, and pH, which had the highest interpretation rates for Olsen P and PAC. Manure is significantly better than straw in improving Olsen P in red soil. It is recommended to reduce the amount of manure applied for a long time to avoid a zero increase in Olsen P.

    Abstract Nanozymes have demonstrated high potential in constructing colorimetric sensor array for pesticides. However, rarely array for pesticides constructed without bio-enzyme were reported. Herein, nanoceria crosslinked graphene oxide nanoribbons (Ce-GONRs) and heteroatom-doped graphene oxide nanoribbons (Ce-BGONRs and Ce-NGONRs) were prepared, demonstrating excellent peroxidase-like activities. A colorimetric sensor array was developed based on directly inhibiting the peroxidase-like activities of the above three nanozymes, which realized the discrimination and quantitative analysis of six pesticides. In the presence of pesticides including carbaryl (Car), fluroxypyr-mepthyl (Flu), thiophanate-methyl (Thio), thiram (Thir), diafenthiuron (Dia) and fomesafen (Fom), the peroxidase-like activities of three nanozymes were inhibited to different degrees, resulting in different fingerprint responses. The six pesticides in the concentration range of 0.1-50 μg/mL and two pesticides mixtures at varied ratios could be detected and discriminated, and minimum detection limit for pesticides was 0.022 μg/mL. In addition, this sensor array has been successfully applied for pesticides discrimination in lake water and apple samples. This work provided a new strategy of constructing simple and sensitive colorimetric sensor array for pesticides based on directly inhibiting the catalytic activities of nanozymes.
