Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL) intensity of luminol-H2O2 system was dramatically enhanced by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelle-mediated 6-aza-2-thiothymine-protected gold nanoclusters (ATT-AuNCs). It is proved that spherical micelles of CTAB in aqueous solution improved the dispersity of ATT-AuNCs, thus enhancing their catalytic activity, which brought in the increased CL intensity of luminol-H2O2 system. Carbazochrome sodium sulfonate (CSS) with a hemostatic containing tetrahydroindole structure broke the spherical micelles and notably quenched the CL intensity of luminol-H2O2-CTAB-ATT AuNCs system. Based on these results, a simple, fast, and sensitive CL method has been developed for the detection of CSS with a linear range of 0.25-25 μM and a detection limit of 0.11 μM. The method has also been successfully applied to the determination of CSS in serum with satisfied recoveries in the range of 89.6 % to 103.7 %. This study not only provides an effective approach for CSS detection but also paves the way for AuNCs-based CL applications.

Abstract
Accurate discrimination of metal species is a significant analytical challenge. Herein, we propose a novel methodology based on liquid-phase cyclic chemiluminescence (CCL) for the identification of cobalt speciation. The CCL multistage signals (In) of the luminol-H2O2 reaction catalyzed by different cobalt species have different decay coefficients k. Thereby, we can facilely identify various cobalt species according to the distinguishable k values, including the complicated and structurally similar cobalt complexes, such as analogues of [Co(NH3)5X]n+ (X = Cl-, H2O, and NH3), Co(II) porphyrins, and bis(2,4-pentanedione) cobalt(II) derivatives. Especially, the number of substituent atoms also influences the k value greatly, which allows excellent discrimination between complexes that only have a subtle difference in the substituent group. In addition, linear discriminant analysis based on In provides a complementary solution to improve the differentiating ability. We performed density functional theory calculations to investigate the interaction mode of H2O2 over cobalt species. A close negative correlation between the adsorption energy and the k value is observed. Moreover, the calculation of energy evolutions of H2O2 decomposition into a double hydroxide radical shows that a high level of consistency exists between the activation energy barrier and the k value. The results further demonstrate that the decay coefficient of the CCL multistage signal is associated with the catalytic reactivity of the cobalt species. Our work not only broadens the application of chemiluminescence but also provides a complementary technology for speciation analysis.

Abstract
In enantiomer recognition and separation, a highly enantioselective approach with universal applicability is urgently desired but hard to realize, especially in the case of chiral molecules. To resolve the trade-off between enantioselectivity and universality, a glutathione (GSH) and methylated cyclodextrins (MCD)-functionalized covalent organic framework (GSH-MCD COF) with porosity and abundant chiral surfaces is presented that was designed and synthesized for recognition and separation of various enantiomers. As expected, the GSH-MCD COF can be used as chiral stationary phases for the separation of various enantiomers, including aromatic alcohols, aromatic acids, amides, amino acids, and organic acids, with performance and versatility even superior to some widely used commercial chiral chromatographic columns. Furthermore, the synthesized GSH-MCD COF shows high enantioselectivity for the rapid recognition and identification of enantiomers and chiral metabolites when coupling to Raman spectroscopy. Molecular simulations suggest that the COF provides a confined microenvironment for cyclodextrins and peptides that dictates the separation and recognition capability. This work provides a strategy to synthesize synergetic multichiral COF and achieve separations and recognitions of enantiomers in complex samples.

Abstract
In this paper, bimetallic CuFe Prussian blue analogue (CuFe PBA) was discovered to have oxidase-like activity. Luminol can be oxidized under alkaline conditions without adding other oxidants. The chemiluminescence (CL) intensity produced is more than 1000 times that of the original luminol-NaOH system. Thus, a novel luminol-NaOH-CuFe PBA CL sensor was constructed. The CL intensity of the system would drastically decrease with the addition of uric acid (UA), it served as the foundation for the creation of an enzyme-free CL sensor for the determination of UA. The CL signal intensity of the system showed a linear connection with the square of the UA concentration in the range of 0.25 to 0.45 mmol·L-1, and the limits of detection was 0.10 mmol·L-1. This system could be used to construct an efficient CL sensor for the detection of UA in human serum.

Abstract
Multiple tumors are synergistically promoted by c-Met and TRK, and blocking their cross-signalling pathway may give better effects. In this study, we developed a tyrosine kinase inhibitor 1D228, which exhibited excellent anti-tumor activity by targeting c-Met and TRK. Models in vitro, 1D228 showed a significant better inhibition on cancer cell proliferation and migration than the positive drug Tepotinib. Models in vivo, 1D228 showed robust anti-tumor effect on gastric and liver tumor growth with 94.8% and 93.4% of the TGI, respectively, comparing 67.61% and 63.9% of Tepotinib. Importantly, compared with the combination of Larotrectinib and Tepotinib, 1D228 monotherapy in MKN45 xenograft tumor models showed stronger antitumor activity and lower toxicity. Mechanistic studies showed that 1D228 can largely inhibit the phosphorylation of TRKB and c-Met. Interestingly, both kinases, TRKs and c-Met, have been found to be co-expressed at high levels in patients with gastric cancer through IHC. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis has revealed that both genes are abnormally co-expressed in multiple types of cancer. Cell cycle analysis found that 1D228 induced G0/G1 arrest by inhibiting cyclin D1. Additionally, vascular endothelial cells also showed a pronounced response to 1D228 due to its expression of TRKB and c-Met. 1D228 suppressed the migration and tube formation of endothelial cells, which are the key functions of tumor angiogenesis. Taken together, compound 1D228 may be a promising candidate for the next generation of c-Met and TRK inhibitors for cancer treatment, and offers a novel potential treatment strategy for cancer patients with abnormal expressions of c-Met or NTRK, or simultaneous of them.

Abstract
For non-small cell lung cancer patients with dual mutations in EGFR and ALK, there are currently no effective therapies. Consequently, novel EGFR/ALK dual-target inhibitors are urgently needed for the treatment of NSCLC. Here, we designed a series of highly effective small molecule dual inhibitors of ALK and EGFR. The biological evaluation highlighted that most of these new compounds could effectively inhibit both ALK and EGFR in enzymatic and cellular assays. Compound (+)-8l was investigated for its antitumor properties, and it was found that (+)-8l blocked the phosphorylation of EGFR and ALK induced by ligands and inhibited phosphorylation-ERK and phosphorylation-AKT induced by ligands. Furthermore, (+)-8l also induces apoptosis and G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in cancer cells and inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion. Notably, (+)-8l significantly suppressed tumor growth in the H1975 cell-inoculated xenograft model (20 mg/kg/d, TGI: 96.11%), PC9 cell-inoculated xenograft model (20 mg/kg/d, TGI: 96.61%) and EML4 ALK-Baf3 cell-inoculated xenograft model (30 mg/kg/d, TGI: 80.86%). These results highlight the differentiated potential of (+)-8l to inhibit ALK rearrangement and EGFR mutation in NSCLC.

Abstract
Chiral recognition of amino acid enantiomers is critical in enhancing drug efficacy, detecting disease markers, and understanding physiological processes. Enantioselective fluorescent identification has gained attention among researchers due to its nontoxicity, easy synthesis, and biocompatibility. In this work, chiral fluorescent carbon dots (CCDs) were produced through a hydrothermal reaction followed by chiral modification. The fluorescent probe, Fe3+-CCDs (F-CCDs), was constructed by complexing Fe3+ with CCDs to differentiate between the enantiomers of tryptophan (Trp) and determine ascorbic acid (AA) through an "on-off-on" response. It is worth noting that l-Trp can greatly enhance the fluorescence of F-CCDs with a blue shift, whereas d-Trp does not have any effect on the fluorescence of F-CCDs. F-CCDs showed a low limit of detection (LOD) for l-Trp and l-AA, with an LOD of 3.98 and 6.28 μM, respectively. The chiral recognition mechanism of tryptophan enantiomers using F-CCDs was proposed based on the interaction force between the enantiomers and F-CCDs, as confirmed by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The determination of l-AA by F-CCDs was also confirmed through the binding of l-AA to Fe3+ to release CCDs, as seen in UV-vis absorption spectra and time-resolved fluorescence decays. In addition, AND and OR gates were constructed based on the different responses of CCDs to Fe3+ and Fe3+-CCDs to l-Trp/d-Trp, demonstrating the significance of molecular-level logic gates in drug detection and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The similarity and complexity of chiral amino acids (AAs) in complex samples remain a significant challenge in their analysis. In this work, the chiral metal-organic framework (MOF)-controlled cyclic chemiluminescence (CCL) reaction is developed and utilized in the analysis of enantiomer AAs. The chiral MOF of d-Co0.75Zn0.25-MOF-74 is designed and prepared by modifying the Co0.75Zn0.25-MOF-74 with d-tartaric acid. The developed chiral bimetallic MOF can not only offer the chiral recognize sites but also act as the catalyst in the cyclic luminol-H2O2 reaction. Moreover, a distinguishable CCL signal can be obtained on enantiomer AAs via the luminol-H2O2 reaction with the control of d-Co0.75Zn0.25-MOF-74. The amplified difference of enantiomer AAs can be quantified by the decay coefficient (k-values) which are calculated from the exponential decay fitting of their obtained CCL signals. According to simulation results, the selective recognition of 19 pairs of AAs is controlled by the pore size of the MOF-74 and their hydrogen-bond interaction with d-tartaric acid on the chiral MOF. Furthermore, the k-values can also be used to estimate the change of chiral AAs in complex samples. Consequently, this chiral MOF-controlled CCL reaction is applied to differentiate enantiomer AAs involved in the quality monitoring of dairy products and auxiliary diagnosis, which provides a new approach for chiral studies and their potential applications.

Abstract
Herein, a novel chemiluminescence method was developed for efficient and sensitive detection of α-amylase activity. α-Amylase is closely related to our life, and α-amylase concentration is a marker for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. In this paper, Cu/Au nanoclusters with peroxidase-like activity were prepared using starch as a stabilizer. Cu/Au nanoclusters can catalyze H2O2 to generate reactive oxygen species and increase the CL signal. The addition of α-amylase makes the starch decompose and causes the nanoclusters to aggregate. The aggregation of the nanoclusters caused them to increase in size and decrease in the peroxidase-like activity, resulting in a decrease in the CL signal. α-Amylase was detected by the CL method of signal changes caused by dispersion-aggregation in the range of 0.05-8 U mL-1 with a low detection limit of 0.006 U mL-1. The chemiluminescence scheme based on the luminol-H2O2-Cu/Au NC system is of great significance for the sensitive and selective determination of α-amylase in real samples, and the detection time is short. This work provides new ideas for the detection of α-amylase based on the chemiluminescence method and the signal lasts for a long time, which can realize timely detection.

Abstract
Herein, a chemiluminescence (CL) biosensor based on CRISPR-Cas12a and cation exchange reaction was constructed to detect the biomarker microRNA-21 (miRNA-21). The rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction was introduced to convert each target RNA strand into a long single-stranded DNA with repeated sequences, which acted as triggers to initiate the transcleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a. The activated Cas12a could cleave the biotinylated linker DNA of CuS nanoparticles (NPs) to inhibit the binding of CuS NPs to streptavidin immobilized on the surface of the microplate, which strongly reduced the generation of Cu2+ from a cation exchange between CuS NPs and AgNO3, and thus efficiently suppressed the CL of Cu2+-luminol-H2O2 system, giving a "signal off" biosensor. With the multiple amplification, the detection limit of the developed sensor for miRNA-21 reached 16 aM. In addition, this biosensor is not only suitable for a professional chemiluminescence instrument but also for a smartphone used as a detection tool for the purpose of portable and low-cost assay. This method could be used to specifically detect quite a low level of miRNA-21 in human serum samples and various cancer cells, indicating its potential in ultrasensitive molecular diagnostics.

Abstract
Single atom-dispersed catalysts (SADCs) with highly exposed active sites can be used as sensitive signal probes because of their superior catalytic efficiency. However, the dispersed atoms tend to aggregate, restricting the loading capacity of metal atoms. Herein, the defective sites on Zr-oxo clusters of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) UiO-66-NH2 were modulated by excessive acetic acid and utilized for confining metal atoms with high loading capacity. To verify the feasibility of the designed strategy, the Co element was loaded onto MOFs UiO-66-NH2 to prepare SADCs with desirable Fenton-like activity. The prepared Co SADCs at a low concentration of 1.0 μg mL-1 are found to boost chemiluminescent (CL) emission for 3700 times due to the significantly improved Co content of 5.55 wt %. The superior CL enhancement efficiency is ascribed to reactive oxygen species generated by the accelerated decay of H2O2. To verify the application potential in CL assay, they were used as signal probes to establish an immunoassay method for carbendazim with a dynamic range of 1.0 pg mL-1 to 25 ng mL-1 and a limit of detection of 0.33 pg mL-1. This defective site modulation strategy paves an avenue for preparing SADCs with a high CL response by improving the loading capacity of metal atoms.

Abstract
Chiral compounds have similar structures and properties, but their pharmacological action is very different or even opposite. Therefore, the separation of chiral compounds has great significance in pharmaceutical and agriculture. Porous organic materials are novel crystalline porous materials, which possess high surface area, controllable pore size, and favorable functionalization. Therefore, porous organic materials are considered to be an ideal material for chiral separation. In this review, we summarized the progress of chiral porous organic materials for chiral separation in recent years. Furthermore, the applications of chiral porous organic materials as chiral separation medias (chromatography stationary phases and membrane materials) in enantioseparation were highlighted. Finally, the remaining challenges and future directions for porous organic materials in chiral separation were also briefly outlined further to promote the development of porous organic materials in chiral separation.

Abstract
Sample preparation (that is, separation and enrichment) is a critical step in complex sample analysis that affects the sensitivity, selectivity, speed, and accuracy of analytical results, especially in rapid analysis. From chaos to order, the entropy reduction procedure of sample preparation cannot happen spontaneously. Given that sample preparation consumes over two thirds of analysis time, sample preparation becomes the bottleneck issue in analytical chemistry, resulting in the urgent necessity of developing accelerated sample preparation techniques.

Abstract
The integration of metallic oxide and metal-organic frameworks has attracted considerable attention as obtained composite materials because they show synergistic effects in applications of catalysis and sensing. Herein, we developed the hybrid MgO and HKUST-1 for efficient capture, catalysis, and cyclic cataluminescence (CCTL) detection of esters all-in-one to rapidly identify scented products. The multifunctional MgO/HKUST-1 composite with high CCTL activity was synthesized and characterized. The multifunctional MgO/HKUST-1 composite acts as an enrichment material for ester capture and serves as a catalyst, assisting the analyte to trigger multistage signals. The multistage signals of ester-containing scented products also satisfy the exponential decay equation with a certain τ-value. The τ-values obtained by the CCTL system were applied to identify the brands of essential oils. The working temperature served as the sensor element to obtain various τ-values. The τ-values constituted a digital code to label the different brands of cigarettes with the same aroma type. The multistage signals could be used to distinguish the origin regions of essential oils and tobacco. This work combines the CCTL strategy with the sample pretreatment, opening up a new direction to develop CCL and providing a new platform to rapidly identify ester-containing scented products.

Abstract
Rapid and high-flux enantiomer separation is significant for drug development. Membrane separation technology provides promising approaches for enantiomer separations. Porous membrane with good selectivity and high permeability is an ideal choice for enantiomer separations. Herein, we demonstrate the preparation of a novel two-dimensional chiral covalent triazine frameworks (CCTF) membrane by "in situ growth" method. Inheriting the strong chirality and specific interactions from CCTF, the CCTF membranes exhibited good enantioselectivity for drug intermediates and drug, including (R)/(S)-1-phenylethanol, (R)/(S)-1,1'-binaphthol and (R)/(S)-ibuprofen. Under optimal separation conditions, the enantiomeric excess value (e.e %) was above 21.7 % for (R)/(S)-1-phenylethanol, 12.0% for (R)/(S)-1,1'-binaphthol and 9.7 % for (R)/(S)-ibuprofen. The mechanism of the CCTF recognizing enantiomers were simulated by quantum mechanical calculations. In addition, the mechanism was also proved by the separation of enantiomers using this CCTF-modified silica column in liquid chromatography. The CCTF membrane may bring about the potentially application for large-scale production of chiral compounds. Meanwhile, this work provides a theoretical guidance for the application of CCOFs in enantiomer separation.

Abstract
A promising route toward the enantioselective recognition and separation of racemic molecules is the design of chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs) with high enantioselectivity and stability. Herein, we report porous CMOFs Δ- and Λ-RuEu-MOFs constructed from the D3-symmetry helical chiral Ru(phen)3-derived tricarboxylate ligand and Eu2 units, which can be utilized as adsorbents for the enantioselective recognition and separation of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) derivatives. Investigation of the circular dichroism enantiodifferentiation between the host and guest suggested that Δ- and Λ-RuEu-MOFs can be employed as chiral sensors to discriminate axial enantiomers due to their diastereomeric host-guest relationship. Density functional theory calculations reveal that chiral recognition is attributed to the distinguishing binding affinities stemming from N···H-O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking between the host and guest. Moreover, the reticulate structure of Δ- and Λ-RuEu-MOFs can be readily recycled and reused for the successive enantioselective separation of BINOL up to 80% ee.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence and significance of chiral compounds does not only require new methods for their enantioselective synthesis but also efficient tools that allow rapid determination of the absolute configuration, enantiomeric composition and overall concentration of nonracemic mixtures. Although chiral analysis is a frequently encountered challenge in the chemical, environmental, materials and health sciences it is typically addressed with slow and laborious chromatographic or NMR spectroscopic techniques. We now show with almost 40 analytes representing 5 different compound classes, including mono-alcohols which are particularly challenging sensing targets, that this task can be solved very quickly by chiroptical sensing with a single, readily available arylisocyanate probe. The probe reacts smoothly and irreversibly with amino and alcohol groups when an organocatalyst is used at room temperature toward urea or carbamate products exhibiting characteristic UV and CD signals above 300 nm. The UV signal induction is not enantioselective and correlated to the total concentration of both enantiomers, the concomitant generation of a CD band allows determination of the enantiomeric composition from the same sample, and the sense of the induced Cotton effect reveals the absolute configuration by comparison with a reference. This approach eliminates complications that can arise when enantiomerically impure NMR derivatizing agents are used and it outperforms time-consuming HPLC protocols. The generation of distinct UV and CD signals at high wavelengths overcomes issues with insufficient resolution of overlapping signals often encountered with chiral NMR solvating agents that rely on weak binding forces. The broad solvent compatibility is another noteworthy and important characteristic of this assay. It addresses frequently encountered problems with insufficient solubility of polar analytes, for example pharmaceuticals, in standard mobile phase mixtures required for chiral HPLC analysis. We anticipate that the broad application spectrum, ruggedness and practicality of organocatalytic chiroptical sensing with aryliso(thio)cyanate probes together with the availability of automated CD multi-well plate readers carry exceptional promise to accelerate chiral compound development projects at reduced cost and with less waste production. Organocatalysis with a simple arylisocyanate probe enables accelerated optical concentration and enantiomeric ratio determination of a large variety of chiral compounds based on straightforward UV/CD analysis.![]()
