“…BPA and PAEs are frequently leached into the nearby environment during the different processes of manufacture, transport, disposal, and reuse due to their nonchemical bonding within the plastic products (Gorji et al, 2019) (Zheng & Andou, 2021). Therefore, people are concurrently vulnerable to a mixture of pollutants and not exposed to a single chemical.…”

Unfortunately, humanity is exposed to mixed plasticizers such as bisphenol-A (BPA) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) that are leached from the daily used plastic products.Previous studies have demonstrated their potential in pancreatic beta cell injury and diabetes induction. The study hypothesized that both compounds would affect the pancreatic alpha cells in albino rats when administered at environmentally relevant doses. Heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) and caspase-3 protein expression was also investigated as potential mechanisms. Thirty-six male Wistar albino rats were separated into four equal groups: control, BPA alone, DBP alone, and BPA + DBP combined groups. BPA and DBP were given in drinking water for 45 days in a dose of 4.5 and 0.8 µg/L, respectively. Fasting blood glucose, serum insulin, pancreatic tissue levels of malondialdehyde, and superoxide dismutase were measured. Pancreatic sections were subjected to hematoxylin & eosin (H & E) staining, glucagon, HSP60, and caspase-3 immunohistochemistry. Although all three experimental groups showed diffuse islet cell HSP60 immunoreactivity, rats exposed to BPA alone showed α-cell-only apoptosis, indicated by H & E changes and caspase-3 immunoreactivity, associated with reduced glucagon immunoreaction.However, rats exposed to DBP alone showed no changes in either α or β-cells. Both combined-exposed animals displayed α and β apoptotic changes associated with islet atrophy and reduced glucagon expression. In conclusion, the study suggested HSP60/caspase-3 interaction, caspase-3 activation, and initiation of apoptosis in αcell only for BPA-alone exposure group, meanwhile DBP alone did not progress to apoptosis. Interestingly, both α/β cell effect was observed in the mixed group implying synergetic/additive action of both chemicals when combined.

“…Approximately the same energy (−11.3 kcal / mol) was obtained for adsorption on the thinnest of the considered nanotubes SWNT(5, 5). As the diameter of SWNTs increases, the energy of complexes formation with DEBA decreases and stops at the case of DEBA-SWNT (8,8). Then, for DEBA-SWNT(9, 9), a slightly higher ΔE form is observed.…”

“…When building the structural models, the molecules of bisphenol A (BPA) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DEBA) were used. Graphene and carbon nanotubes (5, 5), (6,6), (7,7), (8,8) and (9,9) were used as models of the carbon surface. The choice of these modeling objects makes it possible to evaluate the effect of surface curvature on the adsorption properties in relation to bisphenol A derivatives.…”

A carbon nanotube and a graphene surface with bisphenol A derivatives have been simulated in the DFT framework using periodic boundary conditions. Such compounds are components of epoxy diane resins, which are important composite materials for aircraft structures. The simulation results allow one to state that the use of the specialized exchange-correlation functional Berland and Hyldgaard developed to account for weak Van der Waals interactions is preferable to DFT-D2 method. We observed that the energy of complexes formation depends on the orientation of the functional groups of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and determines by whether the surface of the carbon material is flat, like graphene, or curved, like nanotubes. It was found that the strongest binding is observed for nanotubes with a diameter of 1 nm, for which the energy of complex formation is 65 % lower than for the complex of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A on graphene with the same orientation of functional groups relative to the surface. On the curved outer surface of the nanotubes, the ester derivatives form a greater variety of non-covalent interactions in accordance with the QTAIM analysis of electron density and the energy of complexes formation is lower.

“…Graphene-based compounds have attracted ample attention as valuable antibacterial nano-compounds for the characteristics of their structure, such as functionalities, roughness, and shape [36]. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nano-sheets can affect bacterial cell membranes through chemical and physical interactions, but their inhibitory effect on bacteria is stated to be slow, which reduces their application as antibacterial [37].…”

The emergent disaster of antimicrobial resistance developed by virulent bacteria has highlighted the need to investigate substitutes for the presently existing antibiotics. Antibacterial peptides (ABPs) have arisen as promising substitutes because of their unique killing effect on bacteria: bacterial resistance toward ABPs is negligible. ABPs have many beneficial subsidiary effects, such as protection of labile bioactive compounds, and they can be covalently connected to different materials to enhance their antibacterial effect. Many researchers have investigated many applications of these peptides recently, such as in a variety of pharmaceutical dosage forms and wastewater treatment.
