Multifunctional

The fasting and stress associated with road transportation contributes to a lack of energy and a decline in the immune system of beef cattle. Therefore, it is essential for beef cattle to enhance energy reserves before transportation. Creatine pyruvate (CrPyr) is a new multifunctional nutrient that can provide both pyruvate and creatine, which are two intermediate products of energy metabolism.

A novel thioxanthone-anthracene (TX-A) photoinitiator possessing an octyl group, TX-A-Oct, as amphipathic photoinitiator was synthesized by click chemistry. Its ability to initiate photopolymerization of various monomers, namely methyl methacrylate (MMA), acryl amide (Am), butyl acrylate (BA), styrene (St), and a multifunctional monomer trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), was examined in both the presence and absence of air.

A ready-to-use multifunctional coordinative system, 2,2’-dihydroxyazobenzene –aluminum (III) (DHAB–Al3+), was created to recognize several anions effectively through three channels, namely colorimetric detection, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Under naked eye visualization, the H2PO−4 can be readily distinguished from the other anions by the DHAB–Al3+ system through a change in color from reddish-orange to light yellow.

The average correlated color temperature analysis indicates that the Y2MoO6:Pr3þ NPs can be useful for use in warm light sources. The Y2MoO6: Pr3þ (5 mol%) NPs were used for the design of anti-counterfeiting ink in security applications. The tunable properties of the prepared Y2MoO6:Pr3þ NPs make them suitable for multifunctional applications.

This combination of paclitaxel and curcumin gave a higher efficiency of both drugs in cytotoxicity, induced apoptosis, and effect on cell cycles of KPL4 cell line in comparison with the use of paclitaxel or curcumin alone or even a normal mixture of these two compounds. Furthermore, PTX-Cur/PLA-TPGS nanoparticles exhibited a powerful ability in preventing MCF7 spheroids growth. Interestingly, curcumin also functioned as both a drug and a label. Based on the autofluorescence of curcumin, the absorption of PTX-Cur/PLA-TPGS nanoparticles into MCF7 spheroids could be followed and calculated.

The imperative demand for antibacterial agents and enzyme inhibitors prompted us to synthesize some new compounds, 6a–6k, bearing multifunctional moieties. The target acetamides were derived from 4-phenyl-5-(1- tosylpiperidin-4-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (3). The structural analysis was carried out using modern spectroscopic techniques including IR, NMR, and EIMS spectral analysis. The antibacterial activity was screened against five bacterial strains including three gram-negative and two gram-positive ones.

Consequently, a polarizationconversion mode is obtained with a high cross-polarization reflection in a broadband region (where the cross-polarization coefficient reaches up to 75 % in the frequency-range of 12.5 - 16.5 GHz). The polarization conversion was verified by experiment and the mechanism was clarified by the simulation of induced electric and magnetic fields. Our work could contribute to metamaterial-based multifunctional devices such as filter and polarization modulators.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are multifunctional effector molecules that often combine direct antimicrobial activities with signaling or immunomodulatory functions. The skin secretions of anurans contain a variety of such bioactive peptides. The identification of AMPs from frog species often requires sacrificing several specimens to obtain small quantities of crude peptides, followed by activity based fractionation to identify the active principles.
