Abstract
The limited availability of effective agents for removing actinides from the lungs significantly restricts the effectiveness of medical treatments for nuclear emergencies. Inhalation is the primary route of internal contamination in 44.3% of actinide-related accidents, leading to the accumulation of radionuclides in the lungs and resulting in infections and potential tumor formation (tumorigenesis). This study focuses on the synthesis of a nanometal-organic framework (nMOF) material called ZIF-71-COOH, which is achieved by post-synthetic carboxyl functionalization of ZIF-71. The material demonstrates high and selective adsorption of uranyl, while also exhibiting increased particle size (≈2100 nm) when it aggregates in the blood, enabling passive targeting of the lungs through mechanical filtration. This unique property facilitates the rapid enrichment and selective recognition of uranyl, making nano ZIF-71-COOH highly effective in removing uranyl from the lungs. The findings of this study highlight the potential of self-aggregated nMOFs as a promising drug delivery system for targeted uranium decorporation in the lungs.

Abstract
The release of actinides into the environment represents a significant potential public health concern. Chelation therapy utilizing diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTPA) is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved therapy capable of mitigating the deposition of some absorbed actinides in the body. However, the pharmacokinetic profile of DTPA is not ideal for prophylactic applications. In this study, we examine the incorporation of DTPA into a HPMA copolymer (P-DTPA) to investigate if the enhanced blood circulation time can offer superior prophylactic protection and of improving in vivo radiometal decorporation. Utilizing lutetium-177 (177Lu) as an actinide model, the performance of P-DTPA and DTPA (control) were evaluated using selectivity studies in the presence of competing biological metals, chelation and stability assays in human serum and cytotoxicity studies using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The in vivo decorporation efficiency of P-DTPA relative to DTPA and untreated controls was also evaluated over two weeks in CF-1 mice. In the experimental groups, the mice were prophylactically treated with P-DTPA or DTPA (30 μmol/kg) 6 or 24 h prior to 177LuCl3 administration. The in vitro results reveal that P-DTPA gives efficient complexation yields relative to DTPA with a tolerable cytotoxicity profile and good serum stability. The in vivo decorporation studies demonstrated enhanced total excretion of the 177Lu using P-DTPA compared to DTPA in both the 6 and 24 h prophylactic treatment study arms. This enhanced decorporation effect is certainly attributable to the expected prolonged biological half-life of DTPA when grafted to the HPMA polymer.

Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 165:1765-1772.

Abstract
As one of the most promising biopolymers for a variety of potential applications, chitosan has attracted much attention because of its unique biological, chemical, and physical properties. The functionalization of chitosan has been adopted to synthesize novel chitosan derivatives with improved water-solubility and excellent biological activities. In this paper, chitosan was functionalized with a triphenylphosphonium group by means of the copper (I) catalyzed azide-alkyne "click" reaction and has been investigated as potential polymer for agricultural antifungal biomaterial. The influence of chemical modification on the structural characteristics and water-solubility of chitosan was investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and UV-vis spectrum. Furthermore, the antifungal property of target chitosan derivative against four plant threatening fungal pathogens was evaluated and in vitro investigation demonstrated that triphenylphosphonium salt incorporated chitosan backbone had excellent antifungal property compared with chitosan and intermediate chitosan derivative. Notably, target chitosan derivative displayed relatively strongest antifungal effect with over 80% inhibitory index against Botrytis cinerea at 1.0 mg/mL. The results of a detailed antifungal study indicated that cationic chitosan derivative bearing 1,2,3-triazole and triphenylphosphonium moieties provided a promising platform for preparation of novel cationic antifungal biomaterials in the field of agriculture.

Abstract
Lanthanides and actinides are used in a wide variety of applications, from energy production to life sciences. To address toxicity issues due to the chemical, and often radiological, properties of these elements, methods to quantify and recover them from industrial waste are necessary. When used in biomedicine, lanthanides and actinides are incorporated in compounds that show promising therapeutic and/or bioimaging properties, but lack robust strategies to target cancer and other pathologies. Furthermore, current decorporation protocols to respond to accidental actinide exposure rely on intravenous injections of soluble chelating agents, which are inefficient for treatment of inhaled radionuclides trapped in lungs. In recent years, nanoparticles have emerged as powerful tools in both industry and clinical settings. Because some inorganic nanoparticles are sensitive to external stimuli, such as light and magnetic fields, they can be used as building blocks for sensitive bioassays and separation techniques. In addition, nanoparticles can be functionalized with multiple ligands and act as carriers for selective delivery of therapeutic and contrast agents. This review summarizes and discusses recent progress on the use of nanoparticles in lanthanide and actinide chemistry. We examine different types of nanoparticles based on composition, functionalization, and properties, and we critically analyze their performance in a comparative mode. Our focus is two-pronged, including the nanoparticles free of lanthanides and actinides that are used for the detection, separation, or decorporation of f-block elements, as well as the nanoparticles that enhance the inherent properties of lanthanides and actinides for therapeutics, imaging and catalysis.
