PEGylation changes the physical and chemical properties of the biomedical molecule, such as its conformation, electrostatic binding, and hydrophobicity, and results in an improvement in the pharmacokinetic behavior of the drug, while it also causes some disadvantages of which cannot be neglected. The available data manifests that polyethylene glycol (PEG) itself shows potential risk, such as immunogenicity of the PEG and PEG-containing vacuoles in cells observed with PEGylated biologicals. Decreased activity and heterogeneity are also the negative aspects of PEGylation. The unfavorable impacts which are brought by the PEGylation are described here with examples of modified therapeutic proteins on the market and used in the clinical trials.

The development of hydrogen energy will help to reduce the use of nonrenewable energy sources and achieve global carbon neutrality. The aluminum-water reaction is an important method of producing hydrogen because aluminum has abundant reserves, a high yield, and no pollution. However, the dense passive oxide film on the surface of aluminum, on the other hand, often obstructs this reaction, which is the primary issue limiting the development of aluminum-based hydrolytic materials. Mechanochemical activation by processing severely plastic deformed aluminum-based materials is one effective approach and has been developed in recent years. This article reviews recent progress of hydrogen production from hydrolysis of severely plastic deformed aluminum-based materials. The kinetic model of aluminum-water reaction, aging protection of the materials, catalytic mechanism and stable rate control for the hydrolysis of aluminum-based materials are reviewed. Furthermore, some existing problems as well as some suggestions for future research on hydrogen production from aluminum-based materials are also discussed.

The organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) belongs to the SLC22 family, while the multidrug and toxin extrusion 1 and 2-K (MATE1/MATE2-K) belong to the SLC47 family, are localized to the basolateral and apical membrane of human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells, respectively. They are polyspecific transporters that enable the transit of structurally diversified drugs with overlapping selectivity across plasma membranes. OCT2 and MATE1/2-K are critically involved in renal secretion, pharmacokinetics (PK), and toxicity of cationic drugs. Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) at OCT2 and/or MATE1/2-K have been shown to result in clinical impacts on PK, therapeutic efficacy and are probably involved in the renal accumulation of drugs. Sites of OCT2 and MATE1/2-K expression and function play an essential role in the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of drugs, such as cisplatin. Thus, knowing the sites (basolateral vs. apical) of the interaction of two drugs at transporters is essential to understanding whether this interaction helps prevent or enhance drug-induced nephrotoxicity. In this work, an overview of OCT2 and MATE1/2-K is presented. Primary structure, membrane location, functional properties, and clinical impact of OCT2 and MATE1/2-K are presented. In addition, clinical aspects of DDIs in OCT2 and MATE1/2-K and their involvement in drug nephrotoxicity are compiled.
