Magnetic Metal–Organic Framework Composites: Solvent-Free Synthesis and Regeneration Driven by Localized Magnetic Induction Heat

Driven by the magnetic induction heat, a versatile solvent-free Magnetic Induction Framework Synthesis (sMIFS) route has been developed to synthesize magnetic metal–organic framework composites (MFCs). The MFC yield can be effectively enhanced through increasing the reaction time, magnetic nanoparticle content in the powder reaction mixture, and the applied magnetic field strength. Compared with the same reactions carried out in solvent, sMIFS exhibits better MFC yield at the cost of well-defined morphologies. The resulting MFCs exhibit highly efficient CO2 capture capacity. Upon exposing to an alternating magnetic field, MFCs also can be highly efficiently regenerated triggered by localized magnetic induction heat through a magnetic induction swing adsorption process

Localized Electrical Induction Heating for Highly Efficient Synthesis and Regeneration of Metal–Organic Frameworks

Based on carbon fibers (CFs) delivered localized electrical induction heat, a novel electrical induction framework synthesis (EIFS) strategy has been developed to in-situ grow versatile metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) on CFs, resulting in the production of a set of MOF-coated CF (MOF@CF) fibers. Detailed studies on the production of UiO-66-NH2@CFs indicate that the use of EIFS leads to dramatically accelerated MOF growth at dozen times higher reaction rate than that of the conventional solvothermal reaction. By periodically switching anodes during EIFS reactions, uniform MOF@CF fibers with well-controlled MOF loadings have been achieved depending on the reaction conditions. Mediated by the embedded CFs in the resulting MOF@CFs, MOF@CFs exhibit well-regulated electrical induction heating capacities depending on MOF loadings and the applied voltages. Driven by such localized heat, up to 100% of the adsorbed CO2 in UiO-66-NH2@CF can be rapidly released, demonstrating an electrical induction framework regeneration (EIFR) process for highly efficient regeneration of MOFs. As CFs enable to rapidly deliver localized electrical induction with over 90% of electrothermal conversion efficiency and at rather low operation voltage, currently developed EIFS and EIFR process provide a highly efficient, low-energy, low operation cost, and safe way to highly efficient synthesis and regeneration of MOF materials

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic progressive disease that seriously threatens human health. Some patients will continue to progress into the CKD stage 3–5 (also called chronic renal failure), which is mainly manifested by a decline in renal function and multi-system damage. Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton. (Lamiaceae) is one of the most widely used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs in CKD, especially in CKD stage 3–5. But its active components and mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, we used network pharmacology to analyze the active components of P. frutescens and the main therapeutic targets for intervention in CKD stage 3–5. Then, the key components were selected for enrichment analysis and identified by high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). Finally, we verified the critical components through molecular docking, and in vitro experiments. The results show that 19 main active components of P. frutescens were screened, and 108 targets were intersected with CKD stage 3–5. The PPI network was constructed and found that the core nodes AKT1, TP53, IL6, TNF, and MAPK1 may be key therapeutic targets. Enrichment analysis shows that related targets may be involved in regulating various biological functions, and play a therapeutic role in CKD stage 3–5 by regulating apoptosis, T cell receptor, and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways. Molecular docking indicates that the key active components were well docked with its corresponding targets. Five active components were identified and quantified by HPLC. According to the results, luteolin was selected as the critical component for further verification. In vitro experiments have shown that luteolin can effectively alleviate adriamycin (ADR)-induced renal tubular apoptosis and suppress AKT and p53 phosphorylation. The effects of luteolin to reduce apoptosis may be mediated by inhibiting oxidative stress and downregulating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and p53 pathways. In general, we screened and analyzed the possible active components, therapeutic targets and pathways of P. frutescens for treating CKD. Our findings revealed that luteolin can reduce renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis and may be the critical component of P. frutescens in the treatment of CKD. It provides references and direction for further research.</p
