Research on the occurrence and seasonal monitoring of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in estuarine and coastal waters has intensified recently. However, few studies have been conducted with PhACs flowing into the marine waters of South America (such as Brazil). Against this backdrop, the aims of this study were: (i) evaluate, for the first time, the seasonal occurrence throughout a year and the potential ecological risks of ten selected PhACs in marine bathing waters from Santos Bay, São Paulo, Brazil (a tropical low-wave energy semi-closed bay); and (ii) develop a list of high-priority PhACs for the monitoring based on "occurrence, persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity" criteria (OPBT). Four water sampling campaigns were carried out throughout the four seasons of the year. The results showed that: (i) ten PhACs (namely, caffeine/CAF (87.20-567.23 ng/L); carbamazepine/CAR [below the limit of quantification ( ACE > DIC and CAR to algae, crustaceans, and fishes; (iv) Finally, regarding the OPBT ranking, the DIC was the highest-priority PhAC in Santos Bay, followed by: ORP > LOS > CIT > CAR > FUR > ATE > CAF > ACE > ENA.

Accurate prediction of drug-target interactions (DTIs) is pivotal for accelerating the processes of drug discovery and drug repurposing. MVCL-DTI, a novel model leveraging heterogeneous graphs for predicting DTIs, tackles the challenge of synthesizing information from varied biological subnetworks. It integrates neighbor view, meta-path view, and diffusion view to capture semantic features and employs an attention-based contrastive learning approach, along with a multiview attention-weighted fusion module, to effectively integrate and adaptively weight the information from the different views. Tested under various conditions on benchmark data sets, including varying positive-to-negative sample ratios, conducting hard negative sampling experiments, and masking known DTIs with different ratios, as well as redundant DTIs with various similarity metrics, MVCL-DTI exhibits strong robust generalization. The model is then employed to predict novel DTIs, with a particular focus on COVID-19-related drugs, highlighting its practical applicability. Ultimately, through features visualization and computational properties analysis, we've pinpointed critical elements, including Gene Ontology and substituent nodes, along with a proper initialization strategy, underscoring their vital role in DTI prediction tasks.
