This study investigated Lactandrate as a potential anti-colorectal cancer compound by integrating network pharmacology, molecular modeling, and in silico ADMET profiling. Putative targets of Lactandrate were predicted using SwissTargetPrediction and intersected with colorectal cancer-related genes collected from GeneCards and Open Targets, yielding 104 common targets. Protein-protein interaction analysis highlighted key hub genes, including TP53, BCL2, HSP90AA1, AKT1, PARP1, BCL2L1, MCL1, MAPK3, MDM2, and MTOR. GO and KEGG enrichment suggested involvement in core oncogenic processes and pathways, notably PI3K-Akt signaling and cancer-related pathways. Molecular docking against top hub proteins indicated the strongest affinity for PARP1 (PDB: 5WS1), with Lactandrate (–11.57 kcal/mol) outperforming the reference drug Fruquintinib (–9.13 kcal/mol). A 100-ns molecular dynamics simulation supported stable Lactandrate-PARP1 binding (RMSD 0.2 nm) with persistent hydrogen bonding. pkCSM predictions indicated high intestinal absorption and favorable distribution, though potential mutagenicity warrants further validation. Overall, Lactandrate shows promise as a PARP1-targeting candidate for colorectal cancer, supporting subsequent experimental studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":767,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry A","volume":"100 10","pages":"2358 - 2372"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149098287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanical integrity of K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> crystals directly determines product quality, process yield, and downstream processing performance. However, crystal attrition during stirred crystallization remains a major bottleneck limiting industrial production efficiency, with systematic studies on its kinetics and underlying mechanisms remaining scarce. This work presents a comprehensive investigation into the attrition behavior of K<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> crystals in supersaturated solutions under controlled hydrodynamic conditions. A series of batch experiments were conducted to quantify the effects of stirring rate (200–400 rpm) and residence time (20–50 min) on crystal breakage characteristics. A semi-empirical attrition rate correlation was developed based on indentation fracture theory, incorporating key material properties and hydrodynamic parameters. The results reveal that crystal attrition degree increases monotonically with stirring rate, while exhibiting a non-monotonic “rise-then-decline” trend with residence time, attributed to the dynamic equilibrium between surface abrasion and crystal regrowth. The proposed model demonstrates excellent predictive performance with a relative average deviation of 11.86% between experimental and calculated values. Furthermore, the crystal attrition propensity was quantitatively evaluated, showing a strong positive correlation with particle size and stirring intensity. These findings provide fundamental insights into the attrition mechanism of inorganic salt crystals and offer quantitative guidelines for optimizing industrial crystallization processes to minimize product degradation and enhance particle size uniformity.</p>","PeriodicalId":767,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry A","volume":"100 10","pages":"2465 - 2472"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149098262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
