Abdellatif MM, Sabry NM, Ibrahim S, Bassem SM, Khalil WKB, Abdel-Gawad FK. Evaluation of Mitigation Role of L-Phenylalanine-Based Low-Molecular-Weight Gelator against Oil Pollution-Induced Nile Tilapia Toxicity. Gels 2023; 9:848. [PMID: 37998938 PMCID: PMC10670902 DOI: 10.3390/gels9110848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
A lot of oil is leaked into aquatic environments, significantly impacting fish health and, consequently, human populations. This study aimed to introduce an L-phenylalanine-based low-molecular-weight gelator (expressed as Z-Phe-C18) as a smart remediation tool for oil spills. Several groups of Nile tilapia were allocated in aquaria exposed to different doses of crude engine oil with/without the organogelator for 4 weeks. The results revealed a significant increase in biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, electrical conductivity, and total dissolved solids in water samples of fish aquaria exposed to oil pollution. The antioxidant activity levels, micronucleus formation, and expression patterns of stress-related genes were significantly higher in the livers of fish exposed to crude oil than in those of control fish. On the contrary, fish groups exposed to oil pollution and treated with the organogelator indicated that antioxidant enzymes, micronucleus incidence, and gene expression alteration of stress-related genes declined compared with those exposed to oil pollution only. The results suggest that oil pollution can induce oxidative stress via the enhancement of oxygen free radical formation. On the contrary, oil removal by the organogelator decreases oxidative stress and consequently strengthens fish immunity. So, we can conclude that organogelator treatment is promoting oxidative resistance development by increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes, which are important in protection against oil pollution and preventing peroxidation of fish tissues. Promisingly, the organogelator could be used as a tool for the remediation of oil pollution in aquatic environments.

l-Lysine-Based Gelators for the Formation of Oleogels in Four Vegetable Oils. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27041369.

Abstract
Supramolecular oleogel is a soft material with a three-dimensional structure, formed by the self-assembly of low-molecular-weight gelators in oils; it shows broad application prospects in the food industry, environmental protection, medicine, and other fields. Among all the gelators reported, amino-acid-based compounds have been widely used to form organogels and hydrogels because of their biocompatibility, biodegradation, and non-toxicity. In this study, four Nα, Nε-diacyl-l-lysine gelators (i.e., Nα, Nε-dioctanoyl-l-lysine; Nα, Nε-didecanoyl-l-lysine; Nα, Nε-dilauroyl-l-lysine; and Nα, Nε-dimyristoyl-l-lysine) were synthesized and applied to prepare oleogels in four kinds of vegetable oils. Gelation ability is affected not only by the structure of the gelators but also by the composition of the oils. The minimum gel concentration (MGC) increased with the increase in the acyl carbon-chain length of the gelators. The strongest gelation ability was displayed in olive oil for the same gelator. Rheological properties showed that the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the oleogels varied with the carbon-chain length of the gelators and the type of vegetable oil. The microstructure of oleogels is closely related to the carbon-chain length of gelators, regardless of oil type. The highest oil-binding capacity (OBC) was obtained in soybean oil for all four gelators, and Nα, Nε-dimyristoyl-l-lysine showed the best performance for entrapping oils.

Abstract
The gelation properties and mode of self-assembly of six asymmetrical hexaether triphenylene derivatives mono-functionalized with carboxylic and primary amine groups were investigated. The presence of a carboxylic and amine group attached to the triphenylene core generated stable, thermo- and pH-sensitive supramolecular π-organogels with a reversible response to both stimuli. In order to understand the gelation process, we studied the effect of the spacer length and found a different gelation scope for the acid and basic derivatives that accounts for a different supramolecular self-assembly. The presence of the basic group on the amino derivatives was used to guide and catalyze the templated in situ sol-gel polymerization of TEOS and allowed us, under controlled hydrolytic conditions, to prepare an entangled fibrillar network of silica nanotubes.
