In particular, the electrolyte composition will influence energy density, operating temperature range and the practical applications of the VRFB. Various approaches to increase the energy density and operating temperature range have been proposed. The presence of electrolyte impurities, or the addition of a small amount of other chemical species into the vanadium solution can alter the stability of the electrolyte and influence cell perfor- mance, operating temperature range, energy density, electrochemical kinetics and cost effectiveness. This review provides a detailed overview of research on electrolyte additives including stabilizing agents, im- mobilizing agents, kinetic enhancers, as well as electrolyte impurities and chemical reductants that can be used for different purposes in the VRFBs.展开更多

The structure of 1 was determined as 4,7-dihydroxy-3,9-dimethyl-2-oxonanone by the spectroscopic methods. Compound 1 inhibited the proliferation of A2780, K562, HCT-15, A549 and HeLa cells with the IC50 values of 1.4 ± 0.4 μmol/L, 8.4 ± 4.7 μmol/L, 9.4 ± 2.2 μmol/L, 15.4 ± 5.6 μmol/L and 13.7 ± 2.0 μmol/L, respectively. Flow cytometric analysis indicated that 1 could inhibit the cell cycle of tsFT210, A2780 and K562 cells mainly at the G0/G1 phase and could also induce apoptosis in K562 cells.展开更多

As promising anticancer targets, HDACs have gained a great deal of research interests and two decades of effort has led to the approval of five HDAC inhibitors(HDACis). However, currently traditional HDACis, although effective in approved indications, exhibit severe off-target toxicities and low sensitivities against solid tumors, which have urged the development of next-generation of HDACi. This review investigates the biological functions of HDACs, the roles of HDACs in oncogenesis, the structural features of different HDAC isoforms, isoform-selective inhibitors, combination therapies, multitarget agents and HDAC PROTACs. We hope these data could inspire readers with new ideas to develop novel HDACi with good isoform selectivity, efficient anticancer effect, attenuated adverse effect and reduced drug resistance.展开更多
