WATER RESEARCH 2024; 261:122023. [PMID: 38991243 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.122023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
The roles of superoxide radical (O2•-) in the domains of physiological, physical, and material chemistry are becoming increasingly recognized. Although extensive efforts have been directed to understand O2•- functions in diverse aquatic systems, there is a lack of systematic and in-depth review for its kinetics and mechanisms in various environmental scenarios. This review aims to bridge this gap through discussion of O2•- generation pathways under both natural and controlled conditions. The merits and limitations of the generation and detection methods under various conditions are compared, with emphasis on different approaches for the determination of O2•--triggered reaction kinetics. We summarize the reaction rate constants of O2•- with organic contaminants covering a wide diversity of structures and reactivity. The comparison indicates that O2•- exhibits weak reactivity with most contaminants and lacks selectivity towards compounds with different functional groups, except with quinones which exhibit higher reactivity compared to non-quinones. Further, the reaction mechanisms, namely single electron transfer, nucleophilic substitution, hydrogen atom abstraction, and radical-adduct formation, are critically evaluated. Various environmental implications of O2•- are highlighted including maintenance of biogeochemical iron cycle, synthesis of nanoparticles for antibacterial purposes, desorption of contaminants from heterogeneous interfaces, and synergetic degradation of contaminants.

Abstract
Phenothiazines (PTZs) are an emerging group of molecules showing effectiveness toward redox signaling and reduction of oxidative injury to cells, via the activation on Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Although several electrophilic and indirect Nrf2 activators have been reported, the risk of "off-target" effect due to the complexity of their molecular mechanisms of action, has aroused research interest toward non-electrophilic and direct modulators of Nrf2 pathway, such as PTZs. This review represents the first overview on the roles of PTZs as non-electrophilic Nrf2 activator and free radical scavengers, as well as on their potential therapeutic effects in oxidative stress-mediated diseases. Here, we provide a collective and comprehensive information on the PTZs ability to scavenge free radicals and activate the Nrf2 signaling pathway, with the aim to broaden the knowledge of their therapeutic potentials and to stimulate innovative research ideas.

Abstract
Phenothiazine and its derivatives have a number of properties that contribute to their wider practical use in the production of biologically active substances, drugs, dyes, etc. Therefore, the synthesis and study of new compounds is of great relevance. The aim of this work was to investigate the antioxidant activity of a number of new phenothiazine derivatives. The patterns of electroreduction of oxygen and its radicals in the presence of phenothiazine derivatives in aqueous ethanol media were studied by voltammetry. The influence of various factors on antioxidant activity was considered by the methods of experiment planning. The optimal conditions for the manifestation of the antioxidant activity of phenothiazine derivatives have been found, which seems to be relevant since it opens up new possibilities for their further use as complex preparations with antioxidant activity, including in psychiatric practice.

Abstract
Two-dimensional compounds with nanostructural features are attracting attention from researchers worldwide. Their multitude of applications in various fields and vast potential for future technology advancements are successively increasing the research progress. Wastewater treatment and preventing dangerous substances from entering the environment have become important aspects due to the increasing environmental awareness, and increasing consumer demands have resulted in the appearance of new, often nonbiodegradable compounds. In this review, we focus on using the most promising 2D materials, such as MXenes, Bi2WO6, and MOFs, as catalysts in the modification of the Fenton process to degrade nonbiodegradable compounds. We analyze the efficiency of the process, its toxicity, previous environmental applications, and the stability and reusability of the catalyst. We also discuss the catalyst’s mechanisms of action. Collectively, this work provides insight into the possibility of implementing 2D material-based catalysts for industrial and urban wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The reactivity of phenothiazine (PS), phenoselenazine (PSE), and phenotellurazine (PTE) with different reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been studied using density functional theory (DFT) in combination with the QM-ORSA (Quantum Mechanics-based Test for Overall Free Radical Scavenging Activity) protocol for an accurate kinetic rate calculation. Four radical scavenging mechanisms have been screened, namely hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), radical adduct formation (RAF), single electron transfer (SET), and the direct oxidation of the chalcogen atom. The chosen ROS are HO. , HOO. , and CH3 OO. . PS, PSE, and PTE exhibit an excellent antioxidant activity in water regardless of the ROS due to their characteristic diffusion-controlled regime processes. For the HO. radical, the primary active reaction mechanism is, for all antioxidants, RAF. But, for HOO. and CH3 OO. , the dominant mechanism strongly depends on the antioxidant: HAT for PS and PSE, and SET for PTE. The scavenging efficiency decreases dramatically in lipid environment and remains only significant (via RAF) for the most reactive radical (HO. ). Therefore, PS, PSE, and PTE are excellent antioxidant molecules, especially in aqueous, physiological environments where they are active against a broad spectrum of harmful radicals. There is no advantage or significant difference in the scavenging efficiency when changing the chalcogen since the reactivity mainly derives from the amino hydrogen and the aromatic sites.

Abstract
Helical shaped fused bis-phenothiazines 1-9 have been prepared and their red-ox behaviour quantitatively studied. Helicene radical cations (Hel.+ ) can be obtained either by UV-irradiation in the presence of PhCl or by chemical oxidation. The latter process is extremely sensitive to the presence of acids in the medium with molecular oxygen becoming a good single electron transfer (SET) oxidant. The reaction of hydroxy substituted helicenes 5-9 with peroxyl radicals (ROO. ) occurs with a 'classical' HAT process giving HelO. radicals with kinetics depending upon the substitution pattern of the aromatic rings. In the presence of acetic acid, a fast medium-promoted proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process takes place with formation of HelO. radicals possibly also via a helicene radical cation intermediate. Remarkably, also helicenes 1-4, lacking phenoxyl groups, in the presence of acetic acid react with peroxyl radicals through a medium-promoted PCET mechanism with formation of the radical cations Hel.+ . Along with the synthesis, EPR studies of radicals and radical cations, BDE of Hel-OH group (BDEOH ), and kinetic constants (kinh ) of the reactions with ROO. species of helicenes 1-9 have been measured and calculated to afford a complete rationalization of the redox behaviour of these appealing chiral compounds.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been associated with dysregulation of histone deacetylases (HDACs). Previously, acridine-based HDAC inhibitors have shown potential in ameliorating HDAC activity and enhancing neurite outgrowth. In this study, the acridine ring was modified using various phenothiazine derivatives. Several resulting compounds exhibited potent enzyme-inhibiting activity towards class II HDACs when compared to the clinically approved HDAC inhibitor SAHA. Compound 4f demonstrated the highest class II HDAC inhibition (IC50 = 4.6-600 nM), as well as promotion of neurite outgrowth. Importantly, compound 4f displayed no cytotoxicity against neuron cells. Compound 4f was further evaluated for cellular effects. Altogether, these findings show a potential strategy in HDAC inhibition for treatment of the neurological disease.

Abstract
The degradation of p-nitrophenol (p-NP) based on OH radicals (HO∙), HO2 radicals (HO2∙) and O2 in aqueous solution was investigated using theoretical computational methods. The complete degradation mechanisms of reaction between p-NP and HO∙ were explored by density functional theory (DFT) methods. The 4-nitrophenoxy radicals and 1,2-dihydroxy-4-nitrocylohexadienyl radicals are confirmed to be major intermediates of the HO∙-initiated reactions in aqueous phase, which consistent with experimental results. The chemical structures of some products (2,4-dihydroxycyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-one and 4-nitrocyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-dione) which were not identified in the experiment are determined. New favorable formation channels for some intermediates were found. The primary reactions initiated by HO∙ or HO2∙ with p-NP reveals that HO∙-initiated degradation is the dominant reaction. HO2∙ and O2 can enhance the degradation extent of p-NP in further reactions. Rate constants of the elementary reactions and overall rate constants were calculated. In addition, the HO∙-initiated primary reactions in a water box of 500 water molecules were studied using Monte Carlo simulation. All the OH-addition reactions are barrierless and highly feasible. The observed dynamic reaction process is similar to the DFT calculation prediction. Furthermore, the eco-toxicity evaluation shows that important products are harmless or harmful to aquatic organisms, and are much less toxic than p-NP.

Abstract
Transition state search is at the center of multiple types of computational chemical predictions related to mechanistic investigations, reactivity and regioselectivity predictions, and catalyst design. The process of finding transition states in practice is, however, a laborious multistep operation that requires significant user involvement. Here, we report a highly automated workflow designed to locate transition states for a given elementary reaction with minimal setup overhead. The only essential inputs required from the user are the structures of the separated reactants and products. The seamless workflow combining computational technologies from the fields of cheminformatics, molecular mechanics, and quantum chemistry automatically finds the most probable correspondence between the atoms in the reactants and the products, generates a transition state guess, launches a transition state search through a combined approach involving the relaxing string method and the quadratic synchronous transit, and finally validates the transition state via the analysis of the reactive chemical bonds and imaginary vibrational frequencies as well as by the intrinsic reaction coordinate method. Our approach does not target any specific reaction type, nor does it depend on training data; instead, it is meant to be of general applicability for a wide variety of reaction types. The workflow is highly flexible, permitting modifications such as a choice of accuracy, level of theory, basis set, or solvation treatment. Successfully located transition states can be used for setting up transition state guesses in related reactions, saving computational time and increasing the probability of success. The utility and performance of the method are demonstrated in applications to transition state searches in reactions typical for organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and homogeneous catalysis research. In particular, applications of our code to Michael additions, hydrogen abstractions, Diels-Alder cycloadditions, carbene insertions, and an enzyme reaction model involving a molybdenum complex are shown and discussed.
