Aluminum is poorly absorbed following either oral or inhalation exposure and is essentially not absorbed dermally. The bioavailability of aluminum is strongly influenced by the aluminum compound and the presence of dietary constituents which can complex with aluminum and enhance or inhibit its absorption. Aluminum binds to various ligands in the blood and distributes to every organ, with highest concentrations found in bone and lung tissues. In living organisms, aluminum is believed to exist in four different forms: as free ions, as low-molecular-weight complexes, as physically bound macromolecular complexes, and as covalently bound macromolecular complexes. Absorbed aluminum is excreted principally in the urine and, to a lesser extent, in the bile, while unabsorbed aluminum is excreted in the faeces. (L739)
The main target organs of aluminum are the central nervous system and bone. Aluminum binds with dietary phosphorus and impairs gastrointestinal absorption of phosphorus. The decreased phosphate body burden results in osteomalacia (softening of the bones due to defective bone mineralization) and rickets. Aluminum's neurotoxicity is believed to involve several mechanisms. Changes in cytoskeletal protein functions as a results of altered phosphorylation, proteolysis, transport, and synthesis are believed to be one cause. Aluminum may induce neurobehavioral effects by affecting permeability of the blood-brain barrier, cholinergic activity, signal transduction pathways, lipid peroxidation, and impair neuronal glutamate nitric oxide-cyclic GMP pathway, as well as interfere with metabolism of essential trace elements because of similar coordination chemistries and consequent competitive interactions. It has been suggested that aluminum's interaction with estrogen receptors increases the expression of estrogen-related genes and thereby contributes to the progression of breast cancer (A235), but studies have not been able to establish a clear link between aluminum and increased risk of breast cancer (A15468). Certain aluminum salts induce immune responses by activating inflammasomes. (L739, A235, A236)
Not listed by IARC. IARC classified aluminum production as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), but did not implicate aluminum itself as a human carcinogen. (L135) A link between use of aluminum-containing antiperspirants and increased risk of breast cancer has been proposed (A235), but studies have not been able to establish a clear link (A15468).
Aluminum targets the nervous system and causes decreased nervous system performance and is associated with altered function of the blood-brain barrier. The accumulation of aluminum in the body may cause bone or brain diseases. High levels of aluminum have been linked to Alzheimer's disease. A small percentage of people are allergic to aluminium and experience contact dermatitis, digestive disorders, vomiting or other symptoms upon contact or ingestion of products containing aluminium.

Structure–activity relationships of oxysterol-derived pharmacological chaperones for Niemann–Pick type C1 protein
摘要:
Niemann-Pick disease type C is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, and its major cause is mutations in NPC1 gene. This gene encodes NPC1 protein, a late endosomal polytopic membrane protein required for intracellular cholesterol trafficking. One prevalent mutation (11061T) has been shown to cause a folding defect, which results in failure of endosomal localization of the protein, leading to loss-of-function phenotype. We have previously demonstrated that several oxysterols and their derivatives act as pharmacological chaperones; binding of these compounds to NPC1(11061T) mutant protein corrects the localization/maturation defect of the mutant protein. Here, we disclose detailed structure-activity relationships of oxysterol derivatives as pharmacological chaperones for NPC1(11061T) mutant. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

More importantly, four or five metals-aluminum oxide complexes with abundant mesopores and single cubic crystalline phase known as high-entropy ceramics are produced. To the best of our knowledge, mesoporous high-entropy metaloxides have not been prepared

Zn) are formed by adduct formation of [MAl(OiPr)4}2] (1‐M, M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) with 2,2'‐bipyridine and transesterification reaction with cHexOAc. According to crystalstructure analyses, in 2‐M and 3‐M the central transition metal ion M2+ is coordinated by two chelating Al(OR)4– moieties and one bipyridine ligand in an octahedral arrangement.

Studies of the kinetics of polymerization of ε-caprolactone (CL) by salen-aluminum catalysts comprising ligands with similar steric profiles but different electron donating characteristics (R = OMe, Br, or NO2) were performed using high initial monomer concentrations (2 M < [CL]0 < 2.6 M) in toluene-d8 at temperatures ranging from 20 to 90 °C. Saturation behavior was observed, enabling determination
Artificial antenna complexes of metal‐coordinated bis(8‐hydroxyquinoline)‐substituted porphyrin networks that mimic antenna chromophores in plants were organized on titanium dioxide electrodes in photoelectrochemical cells. The generated photocurrents can be optimized according to the two ways of porphyrin self‐assembly due to the “antennaeffect”: changing the number of assembled porphyrin monolayers

[Al(OiPr)3]4 was reacted at ambient temperature with 3-chloropentanedione (3-ClacacH) in 1 : 1 molar ratio in toluene, to obtain the mono-substituted product. However, the bis-substituted dinuclear tetrakis(3-chloropentanedionato)-di-m-isopropoxy-dialuminum(III) [Al(μ-OiPr)(3-Clacac)2]2 () was isolated in 46% yield upon aging of the reaction mixture at −10 °C. The supernatant upon aging yielded a crop of tris-3-chloroacetylacetonate Al(3-Clacac)3·H2O (1) in 13% yield. Complexes 1A (monoclinic, space group P21/c with Z = 2) and 1(cubic, space group P43n with Z = 8) were characterized by elemental analyses, NMR and IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray crystallography.
