The rule of 5 was designed to estimate the likelihood of poor absorption or permeation, noting the impact of poor solubility. This Perspective explores the impact of various physicochemical descriptors and contemporary lipophilicity measurements on permeability and solubility, showing that the distribution coefficient log D7.4 (rather than log P) is the most impactful parameter. Molecular weight, almost invariably the defining characteristic of "beyond the rule of 5" compounds, has little impact on solubility when log D7.4 measurements and aromaticity are considered. Predicting permeation is more complex, given passive and carrier transport mechanisms; however, notable patterns of behavior are apparent, giving insight even "beyond the rule of 5". Recommended best practices should involve using the facts (measurements) and the patterns they reveal to establish informative principles rather than fastidious rules.p62/SQSTM1, encoded by gene SQSTM1, is widely known as an adaptor protein of selective autophagy to promote aggregate-prone proteins for degradation. It is also a stress-induced scaffold protein involved in Nrf2 activation to resist oxidative stress. Multiple domains of p62 interact with several essential pathways implicated in cell differentiation and proliferation, placing p62 at a significant position to mediate cell survival and apoptosis. The p62 protein has been suggested as a potential target in recent years, since its abnormal expression or SQSTM1 gene mutation is tightly associated with various diseases including cancer such as hepatocellular carcinoma and prostate cancer, neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, atherosclerosis, and Paget's disease of bone. In this review, we will discuss the relationship between p62 and these diseases, and we attempt to put forward novel methods for current diagnosis or therapy by regulating the p62 expression level.Epidemiological studies have found that whole wheat consumption is inversely associated with the risk of chronic diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The health benefits of whole wheat foods are attributed to their bioactive components, including phytochemicals and dietary fiber. In this review, the current studies regarding bioactive components and their health-promoting roles and the underlying mechanisms were summarized and discussed. The current research advances in processing technologies capable of potentially enhancing the nutritional quality of wheat and wheat-based foods were also included. This review may promote the research, development, and consumption of whole wheat foods in reducing the risk of human chronic diseases.Herein we report the synthesis, structure, and band gaps of four layered halide double perovskites, i.e., BA2Cu0.5In0.5Cl4, BA2Ag0.5In0.5Cl4, BA2Ag0.5Sb0.5Cl4, and BA2Ag0.5Sb0.5Br4 [BA = butylammonium = CH3(CH2)3NH3+], each of which has the n = 1 Ruddlesden-Popper structure. In addition, the crystal structure of BA2Ag0.5Bi0.5Br4 is revisited and that of BA2PbCl4 is reported for the first time. Only BA2Ag0.5Sb0.5Cl4 has the tetragonal I4/mmm symmetry of the undistorted Ruddlesden-Popper structure. The other five compounds have orthorhombic structures due to tilts of the octahedra and orientational ordering of the butylammonium groups. Aminoguanidine hydrochloride chemical structure As the lateral dimensions of the inorganic layer decrease, the c/a ratio increases due to decreased interdigitation of the alkyl ends of the butylammonium cations. This structural feature may help to explain the increased stability of the bromide phases with respect to the chloride phases. There are features in the diffraction patterns of BA2Ag0.5Bi0.5Br4 and BA2Cu0.5In0.5Cl4 that suggest ordering of octahedral cations within the layers, but in those compounds there appears to be a high concentration of stacking faults between layers that limits long-range, three-dimensional ordering of cations. In the other cases the scattering powers of the cations (Ag/Sb and Ag/In) are too similar to say anything definitive about cation ordering. The band gaps of these compounds range from 2.65 to 4.27 eV, with the bromide compositions possessing smaller band gaps than the chlorides. The band gaps of layered BA2M0.5M'0.5X4 compositions studied here are roughly 0.5-0.8 eV larger than analogous Cs2MM'X6 cubic double perovskites due to a combination of dimensional reduction (3D → 2D), distortions of the octahedral environment around the M/M' ions, and octahedral tilting distortions.Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO) processes have been widely studied for water purification. The reaction mechanisms of these processes are very complicated because of the simultaneous involvement of gas, solid, and liquid phases. Although typical reaction mechanisms have been established for HCO, some of them are only appropriate for specific systems. The divergence and deficiency in mechanisms hinders the development of novel active catalysts. This critical review compares the various existing mechanisms and categorizes the catalytic oxidation of HCO into radical-based oxidation and nonradical oxidation processes with an in-depth discussion. The catalytic active sites and adsorption behaviors of O3 molecules on the catalyst surface are regarded as the key clues for further elucidating the O3 activation processes, evolution of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or organic oxidation pathways. Moreover, the detection methods of the ROS produced in both types of oxidations and their roles in the destruction of organics are reviewed with discussion of some specific problems among them, including the scavengers selection, experiment results analysis as well as some questionable conclusions. Finally, alternative strategies for the systematic investigation of the HCO mechanism and the prospects for future studies are envisaged.Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx using NH3 in the presence of alkaline and heavy metals is still an issue in the application of a stationary source. Reported here is the rational design of a novel H-SAPO-34-supported ceria-promoted copper-based catalyst (CuCe/H-SAPO-34) that demonstrates exceptional resistance against alkali (K), alkaline earth (Ca), and heavy metal (Pb) poisoning during SCR of NOx. The H-SAPO-34 support contained numerous acid sites that allowed Cu-based catalysts to maintain their catalytic activity while also resisting poisoning by K and Ca. Decorating the catalyst with CeO2 promoted the low-temperature deNOx activity by accelerating the redox cycle with Cu species and assisted the H-SAPO-34 in capturing Ca and Pb. H-SAPO-34-supported ceria-promoted copper oxide catalysts prevented the irreversible combination of K, Ca, or Pb with the active centers, providing the catalyst with excellent poisoning resistance. This work provides a strategy for the development of high-performance, poisoning-resistant catalysts for NH3-SCR of NOx in the presence of alkaline and heavy metals.
