Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) belong among the most used analgesics and antipyretics. It is structurally derived from p-aminophenol (PAP), a potent inducer of kidney toxicity. Both compounds can be metabolized to oxidation products and conjugated with glutathione. The glutathione-conjugates can be cleaved to provide cysteine conjugates considered as generally nontoxic. The aim of the present report was to synthesize and to purify both APAP- and PAP-cysteine conjugates and, as the first study at all, to evaluate their biological effects in human kidney HK-2 cells in comparison to parent compounds. HK-2 cells were treated with tested compounds (0-1000 µM) for up to 24 h. Cell viability, glutathione levels, ROS production and mitochondrial function were determined. After 24 h, we found that both APAP- and PAP-cysteine conjugates (1 mM) were capable to induce harmful cellular damage observed as a decrease of glutathione levels to 10% and 0%, respectively, compared to control cells. In addition, we detected the disappearance of mitochondrial membrane potential in these cells. In the case of PAP-cysteine, the extent of cellular impairment was comparable to that induced by PAP at similar doses. On the other hand, 1 mM APAP-cysteine induced even larger damage of HK-2 cells compared to 1 mM APAP after 6 or 24 h. We conclude that cysteine conjugates with aminophenol are potent inducers of oxidative stress causing significant injury in kidney cells. Thus, the harmful effects cysteine-aminophenolic conjugates ought to be considered in the description of APAP or PAP toxicity.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) and p-aminophenol (p-AP) are the analogous simple phenolic compounds that undergo sulfate conjugation (sulfation) by cytosolic sulfotransferases. Sulfation is generally thought to lead to the inactivation and disposal of endogenous as well as xenobiotic compounds. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidative effects of O-sulfated form of APAP and p-AP, i.e., APAPS and p-APS, in comparison with their unsulfated counterparts. Using a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay, the antioxidant capacity of APAPS was shown to be approximately 126-times lower than that of APAP. In contrast, p-APS displayed comparable activity as unsulfated p-AP. Similar trends concerning the suppressive effects of these chemicals on cellular O2- radical generation were found using an activated granulocytic neutrophil cell model. Collectively, these results indicated that, depending on the presence of an additional "active site", sulfation may not always decrease the antioxidant activities of phenolic compounds.

Abstract
Prooxidant properties of aminophenol, the constituent of acetaminophen and mesalamine, were examined. Aminophenol compounds/copper-dependent formation of reactive oxygen species was analyzed by the inactivation of aconitase, the most sensitive enzyme to oxidative stress in permeabilized yeast cells. Aminophenol compounds of 2 (ortho)- and 4 (para)- substituents, but not 3 (meta)-isomer produced reactive oxygen species in the presence of copper (cupric) ion or iron. The inactivation required sodium azide the inhibitor of catalase, suggesting that the superoxide radical produced from the 2- and 4-aminophenol in the presence of copper is responsible for the inactivation of aconitase. Aminophenols of 2- and 4-substituents showed a potent reducing activity of copper (cupric) ion, and further potent reactivity with DPPH radical, but 3-aminophenol showed only a little reactivity. Reduced copper ion can generate superoxide radical with the production of oxidized metal. Aminophenols can reduce the copper ion, and further stimulate the continuous production of reactive oxygen species. Cytotoxic effect of acetaminophen, the N-acetylated-p-aminophenol and mesalamine, the 4-aminophenol derivatives may be accounted for by the prooxidant properties of their constituents, aminophenol.

Abstract
In this present work, we report the green synthesis of mixed bimetal oxides (CuO/NiO) for the efficient reduction of toxic nitrophenols (NP, DNP and TNP) in aqueous medium. The CuO/NiO NPs were synthesized by green hydrothermal method combined calcination process. The physiochemical properties of the synthesized CuO/NiO NPs were systematically characterized by using XRD, XPS, FTIR, SEM, and HR-TEM techniques. The calcinated CuO/NiO NPs XRD pattern and SEM morphology show the high crystalline nature than the non-calcinated. Whereas, the XPS and FTIR results confirmed the formation of the metal oxide bonding and the interaction of the bimetals. The HR-TEM images showed the spherical crystals with average particle size about 25 nm. In addition, the SAED pattern confirmed the polycrystalline nature of CuO/NiO NPs. The catalytic reduction of nitro compounds to amino derivative was studied with reducing agent (NaBH4). The CuO/NiO NPs showed the high catalytic activity and completed the reduction reaction of NP, DNP and TNP with in 2, 5 and 10 min respectively. In addition, CuO/NiO NPS exhibited the excellent kinetic rate constant k value about 1.519, 0.5102, 0.4601 min-1 for NP, DNP and TNP respectively. Furthermore, the conversion product aminophenol was observed for these three nitro compounds. The proposed CuO/NiO NPs showed excellent crystal stability after the nitrophenol reduction reactions. An inexpensive CuO/NiO NPs is a promising catalysts for reduction of toxic nitro compounds to useful products in aqueous or non-aqueous medium.

Abstract
Nitrocompounds are the major prime water contaminants. In this investigative study, toxic nitrocompounds (4-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 2,4,6-trinitrophenol) were removed by using magnetic CuFe2O4, CoFe2O4, and NiFe2O4 material systems. The metal ferrites were synthesized through hydrothermal method and also followed with calcination process. The properties of metal ferrites were confirmed through using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) studies and results there on were presented. For the first time, the synthesized CuFe2O4, CoFe2O4, and NiFe2O4 material systems were used for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (NP), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) in aqueous medium. The UV-visible spectrometry was employed to monitor the removal of nitro compounds and formation of aminophenol. Among, the three catalysts, the CuFe2O4 displayed excellent removal activity for nitrocompounds. The CuFe2O4 nanoparticles completely removed the NP, DNP and TNP within 2, 5, 10 min, respectively. The NP reduction reaction follows the pseudo-first-order kinetics. Further, the investigated and proposed CuFe2O4, catalyst has given and demonstrated excellent kinetic rate constants 0.990, 0.317, 0.184 min-1 for 4-NP, DNP and TNP respectively, which was very fast kinetic than the already published reports. Also, the aminophenol formation was confirmed for the above mentioned and select nitrocompounds. The obtained results confirm suggest that CuFe2O4 nanoparticles based material system could be one of the promising catalysts for nitro compounds removal process.

Abstract
The catalytic performance of gold (Au) decorated cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) can be potentially crucial because such a defined arrangement of multiple materials may provide improved chemical and biological catalytic activities. In this work, we have utilized a highly localized approach to reduce Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the nanoceria-phosphotungstate composite's surface. Phosphotungstic acid (PTA) bound on nanoceria's surface acts as a UV-light dependent redox molecule that specifically reduces AuNPs. The mechanistic study demonstrates that PTA* molecules outstanding electron transfer ability leads to an excellent improvement in the catalytic performance of nanoceria-PTA*-AuNPs composite. Nanoceria-PTA*-AuNPs showed better and faster degradation of 4-nitrophenol than either nanoceria or PTA*-AuNPs. The developed nanoceria-PTA*-AuNPs exhibited efficient (>80 % in 5 min) conversion of 4-NP into 4-AP at room temperature and neutral pH. Additionally, the nanoceria-PTA*-AuNPs also showed improved peroxidase enzyme-like activity than the corresponding control samples. The observed catalytic activity could be due to the rapid electron transfer from nanoceria to AuNPs, where the metal nanoparticle acts as an electron sink, mediated by PTA*. Nanoceria-PTA*-AuNPs showed ∼ 2-fold better catalytic oxidation of peroxidase substrate than PTA*-AuNPs. The reported nanoceria-PTA*-AuNPs nanocomposites are expected to display improved biological enzyme-like activities, photocatalysis, and other biomedical applications.

Abstract
Non enzymatic detection of NADH and H2O2 is of practical significance for both environmental and biological prospective. However, there is no simple, straight forward electrochemical sensor available for sensing of them in real samples. Addressing this challenge, we report a simple stimuli responsive aminophenol, pre-anodized screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE*/AP) based electrochemical probes for dual detection of NADH and H2O2. Aminophenol prepared and adsorbed on the electrode from aminophenylboronic acid via boronic acid deprotection with H2O2. The SPCE*/AP fabricated with this process was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Amperometric detection results showed that SPCE*/AP electrodes exhibited linearity from 50 µM to 500 µM and from 200 µM to 2 mM with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 4.2 µM and 28.9 µM for NADH and H2O2, respectively. Excellent reproducibility and selectivity for NADH and H2O2 were observed for this electrochemical platform. In addition, the matrix effect was investigated further using the same technique to analyze NADH and H2O2 in human urine samples, human serum samples, cell culture medium (containing 10% fetal bovine serum, FBS), and environmental water samples (tap water and rain water). Also, the present sensor demonstrated promising outcomes with living cells (normal cells and cancer cells).

Abstract
Neuroblastoma is an aggressive and drug-resistant refractory cancer. The human high-risk neuroblastoma cell line, SK-N-AS (non-amplified N-myc) is derived from stromal cells and it is resistant to treatment with retinoic acid (1, RA), which is a chemotherapeutic agent used to induce neuronal cellular differentiation of neuroblastomas. We have developed p-dodecylaminophenol (3, p-DDAP), based on N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (2, 4-HPR), a synthetic amide of 1, since 1 and 2 are associated with the side-effect of nyctalopia. In order to evaluate the effects of 3 on high-risk neuroblastomas, we employed SK-N-AS cells as well asa second high-risk human neuroblastoma cell line, IMR-32, which is derived from neuronal cells (amplified N-myc, drug sensitive). Compound 3 suppressed cell growth of SK-N-AS and IMR-32 cells more effectively than 1, 2, p-decylaminophenol (4, p-DAP), N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)dodecananamide (5, 4-HPDD) or N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)decananamide (6, 4-HPD). In SK-N-AS cells, 3 induced G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis to a greater extent than 1 and 2. In IMR-32 cells, 3 induced apoptosis to a similar extent as 1 and 2, potentially by inhibiting N-myc expression. In addition, i.p. administration of 3 suppressed tumor growth in SK-N-AS-implanted mice in vivo. Since 3 showed no effects on blood retinol concentrations, in contrast to reductions following the administration of 2, it exhibited excellent anticancer efficacy against high-risk neuroblastoma SK-N-AS and IMR-32 expressing distinct levels of N-myc. Compound 3 may have potential for clinical use in the treatment of refractory neuroblastoma with reduced side effects.

Abstract
In the present work, we synthesized three novel aminophenol-derivatized nitrilotriacetic acid vanadyl complexes (VOohpada, VOmhpada, VOphpada) using the strategy of rational incorporation of antioxidant groups in ligand in order to balance the side effects with the therapeutic properties. The complexes were characterized by IR, UV-VIS, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. The biological evaluations in vitro revealed that the position of the hydroxyl group of aminophenol moiety regulated the antioxidant activity of the complexes as well as the cytotoxicity on HK-2 cells. The vanadyl complex of p-hydroxyl aminophenol derivative (VOphpada) exhibited better antioxidant activity and lower cytotoxicity than other analogs. In type II diabetic db/db mice, VOphpada (0.1 mmol/kg/day) effectively reduced blood glucose level, improved glucose tolerance, and alleviated stresses induced by hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. VOphpada treatment significantly increased expression of PPARα and γ, activated Akt, and inactivated JNK in muscle and adipose tissues. The insulin enhancement effects of VOphpada were observed more potent than BMOV. Moreover, VOphpada decreased the level of kidney injury molecule-1 marker (KIM-1), suggesting a potentially lower renal toxicity. In overall, the present results suggest VOphpada as a novel hypoglycemic agent with improved efficacy-over-toxicity index.

Abstract
An electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The biotinylated hepatitis B surface antibody was immobilized on streptavidin magnetic nanoparticles and used for targeting the HBsAg. By the addition of horseradish peroxidase conjugated with secondary antibody (HRP-HBsAb), a sandwich-type immunoassay format was formed. Aminophenol as substrate for conjugated HRP was enzymatically changed into 3-aminophenoxazone (3-APZ). This electroactive enzymatic production (3-APZ) was transferred into an electrochemical cell and monitored by cyclic voltammetry. Under optimal conditions, the cathodic current response of 3-APZ, which was proportional to the HBsAg concentration, was measured by a glassy carbon electrode. The immunosensor response was linear toward HBsAg in the concentration range from 0.001 to 0.015 ng/ml with a detection limit of 0.9 pg/ml at a signal/noise ratio of 3.
