A High‐Performance Oxidized Graphene for Dendrite‐Free Anodes and Kinetically Enhanced Cathodes of Aqueous Zn‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Oxidized graphene rich in carboxylic acid groups obtained via a simple electrochemical exfoliation route is shown to tackle the main challenges of aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs), specifically short Zn anode cycle life and sluggish cathode reaction kinetics.

Targeting the intratumoral microbiota to overcome cancer immunotherapy resistance

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
This review delineates the mechanisms of intratumoral microbiota in cancer immunotherapy resistance, and offers strategies for microbiota‐targeted precision immunotherapy. Abstract Cancer remains a significant global health threat. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a sophisticated ecological niche that exerts a pivotal effect on treatment outcomes ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Juglone‐Derived cu (II), Mn (II) and Zn (II) Complexes and Investigation of Their Cytotoxic Activities Against Lung and Colon Cancer Cells in Vitro and in Silico

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three new Zn (II), Cu (II) and Mn (II) complexes have been synthesized from 5‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone (HNQ). Elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, UV–Vis, IR and Mass spectrometry have all been used to explore the structural characterization of these compounds.

Air Pollution Quinones Impair Intestinal Barrier Integrity and Endoplasmic Reticulum in Differentiated Caco‐2 Cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Particulate matter (PM) is a major global health threat, linked to millions of deaths annually. Beyond inhalation, PM components reach the gastrointestinal tract through the mucociliary escalator or contaminated food and water. Among PM's organic fraction, redox‐active quinones such as 1,2‐naphthoquinone (NQ) and 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone (PQ ...

A cryptic allosteric pocket shapes isoform‐selective inhibition of human malic enzymes

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Malic enzymes (ME) regulate central carbon metabolism and cellular redox balance, and the mitochondrial isoform ME2 is frequently upregulated in aggressive cancers to support metabolic flexibility and stress resistance. Isoform‐selective inhibition has remained out of reach because the catalytic machinery is essentially invariant across the ...

The History of the Discovery of Vitamin K

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Vitamin K was discovered during the 1930s when a strange haemorrhagic disorder was observed in chickens fed a cholesterol‐free diet. A fat‐soluble agent, present in green leafy vegetables and hog liver, was able to restore haemostasis in the chickens.

Synthesis of Acylated Naphthohydroquinones Through Photo-Friedel–Crafts Acylation and Evaluation of Their Antibiotic Potential

Photochem
A variety of 1-(1,4-dihydroxynaphtalen-2-yl) ketones was synthesized using the photo-Friedel–Crafts acylation of 1,4-naphthoquinone with aldehydes. Subsequent oxidation using silver oxide readily furnished the corresponding 2-acylated 1,4 naphthoquinones.

Contribution of One‐Electron Oxidation of Purine and Pyrimidine Bases to the Photo‐ and Radiation‐Induced Damage to Cellular DNA

ChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
One‐electron oxidation of purine and pyrimidine bases of isolated and cellular DNA generates related reactive base radical cations that are converted into final decomposition products through deprotonation and hydration. In the case of guanine, the most susceptible nucleobase to one‐electron oxidants, 8‐hydroxy‐7,8‐dihydroguanyl radical, thus formed by

Crystal structure of 2-hydroxy-3-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dione

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2018
The naphthoquinone unit of the title compound, C13H8O3, is essentially planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.013 Å for the non-H atoms. The essentially linear propargyl group is tilted by ca 113° relative to the naphthoquinone plane.
