In addition, the physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetic characteristics, toxicity potencies and biological targets of TBIP were predicted by using pkCSM and Swiss Target Prediction online tools. The ADMET properties of TBIP were compared to those of other analogue Schiff bases ((<i>E</i>)-1-((4-phenoxyphenylimino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol, abbreviated as PMNO, and (<i>E</i>)-1-[(2-phenoxyphenylimino)methyl]naphthalen-2-ol, abbreviated as 2-PPMN). According to the SWV results, the decreased cathodic peak current of TBIP in the presence of aforementioned bio-molecules (BMs) indicated that it interacts with them. Moreover, the electrochemical results showed that BSA has a higher binding constant in the comparison to HSA and DNA, respectively, and also reveal that TBIP forms biomolecular complexes in the molar ratio of 1 : 1. On the other hand, the binding constants of TBIP to these biomolecules were also evaluated according to those of the bio-molecule (BM) complexes of PMNO, 2-PPMN, doxorubicin (Dox) and ethidium (Et⁺). The MD outcomes suggest that both hydrophobic and π-cation interactions were formed in the interaction between TBIP and HSA while only the hydrophobic interactions contributed to stabilizing the TBIP–BSA complex. In addition, the MD analysis of TBIP with A-DNA compound showed the binding affinity (BA) of −7.4 kcal mol⁻¹ with two H-bonds and four π–π interactions when compared to B-DNA with BA of −7.9 kcal mol⁻¹ and one H-bond. Finally, MD results exhibited that TBIP is a minor groove binder and H-bond interactions have paramount effect in the stabilities for its complexes with A- and B-DNA, respectively. The order in the estimated BA values of these BMs with TBIP was observed as follows: BSA&gt;HSA&gt;B-DNA&gt;A-DNA. The BA values of TBIP to A- and B-DNA were compared with well-known DNA intercalators such as Dox and Et⁺. TBIP exhibited lower BA values than Dox, though higher than Et⁺.

To clarify the regulation mechanisms of porosity gradients on multi-physical transport, a three-dimensional PEMFC model is established. Uniform, exponential-gradient, and linear-gradient cathode GDL structures are systematically compared in terms of mass transport, heat transfer and electrochemical coupling characteristics. The results reveal that through-plane porosity gradients reconstruct the spatial distribution of effective diffusion resistance, eventually redistributing oxygen transport, water vapor removal, liquid water accumulation, and heat dissipation within the porous medium. Compared with the uniform GDL, the linear-gradient structure mitigates oxygen concentration decay near the CL, suppresses local water accumulation, and reduces the through-plane temperature gradient, resulting in more uniform heat–mass coupling. In contrast, exponential gradients induce locally intensified resistance due to abrupt porosity variations, leading to constrained transport regulation. Unlike previous studies focusing mainly on porosity size or averaged performance, this work demonstrates that the continuity and smoothness of through-plane porosity gradients govern the redistribution of transport resistance and reaction intensity. These findings provide mechanistic guidance for designing gradient structured porous media in coupled heat and mass transfer systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":760,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Electrochemistry","volume":"62 8","pages":"344 - 364"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148909520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
