Hyperoside is an active ingredient in plants, such as Hypericum monogynum in Hypericaceae, Crataegus pinnatifida in Rosaceae and Polygonum aviculare in Polygonaceae. Its pharmacologic effects include preventing cancer and protecting the brain, neurons, heart, kidneys, lung, blood vessels, bones, joints and liver, among others. Pharmacokinetic analysis of hyperoside has revealed that it mainly accumulates in the kidney. However, long-term application of high-dose hyperoside should be avoided in clinical practice because of its renal toxicity. This review summarises the structure, synthesis, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and toxicity of hyperoside.
As
important members of the fullerene family, C60 and
its derivatives have become the most popular N-type organic narrow-band
gap semiconductor. Expanding synthetic control over its hybrid nanostructures
has become a major challenge. In this work, dimethylformamide was
used to significantly reduce the rate of C60 precipitation,
making it possible to synthesize a series of Au–C60 hybrid nanostructures, including a core–shell structure with
a tunable shell thickness. On this basis, strong ligand-mediated interfacial
energy controlled the formation of Au–C60 Janus
structures with a tunable size of the C60 domain. The charge
separation efficiencies of different Au–C60 hybrid
structures were systematically studied. The photocurrent generation
and transient fluorescence showed significantly improved charge separation,
which was attributed to the physical separation of the Au and C60 domains. We believe that mechanistically understanding the
design and synthesis of intricate Janus architectures would help future
efforts in functional exploration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
