Unraveling the cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of low, medium and high molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) in cells is important for evaluation of therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of PEGylated drug delivery systems . In this study, cellular uptake of PEG600, PEG2K, PEG4K and PEG10K in MCF-7 cells was first studied by an UPLC-MS/MS assay coupled with collision induced dissociation (CID) in source technique. The CID of PEG in source with high values of declustering potentials generates numerous PEG-related product ions. These PEG-related fragment ions can be further broken into specific product ions in the collision cell as alternative ions for detection of PEG. The quantification of PEG was finally performed with the MRM transition ( m/z 221.0 → 89.0). The experimental results indicated that the toxicity of PEG600, PEG2K, PEG4K and PEG10K was not significant at concentrations of 5–1200 μg/mL and the amounts of PEG polymers entry into MCF-7 cells at was small. The greenness of the developed analytical methods was also assessed by Analytical Eco-Scale, Analytical Greenness calculator (AGREE) and Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI) in this study.

Apis cerana honey from Changbai Mountain (CBS honey), produced in northeastern China, is a high-quality specialty honey that has long been recognized as a natural health product with medicinal properties. In this study, UPLC-MS/MS metabolomics and ultra-fast proteomics technologies were employed to analyze the differences in metabolites and proteins among Apis cerana honey samples collected from various Chinese regions, including Jilin, Sichuan, Hainan, Hubei, and Tibet. Through an integrated multi-omics analysis, we identified candidate characteristic compounds, including 12 potential characteristic metabolites and 13 characteristic proteins, to differentiate CBS honey from Apis cerana honeys produced in other regions. These findings provide foundational reference for the authentication and geographical origin traceability of CBS honey.

A modified QuEChERS method was developed in analysis of 52 veterinary drugs. • A novel MIL-101(Cr)–rGO@melamine sponge composite was fabricated. • The fast matrix purification could be achieved within several seconds. • Matrix cleanup was achieved through simple soaking and squeezing. • The method showed low matrix effects, good recoveries, and high precision. Herein, we report the fabrication of an elastic, quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe adsorbent using a functionalized melamine sponge (MLS) and used it for the high-throughput analysis of 52 veterinary drugs in beef liver samples via ultraperformance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The as-prepared adsorbent was obtained by successive loading of Matérial Institut Lavoisier-101 (Chromium) [MIL-101(Cr)] and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on melamine sponge skeletons. Excellent linearity with determination coefficients of ≥0.9942 was obtained across a range of 0.25–200 μg·kg −1 . Relatively low limits of detection (0.1–4.9 μg·kg −1 ) and limit of quantitation (LOQ; 0.3–16.2 μg·kg −1 ) were obtained. When fortified at three levels (1×, 5×, and 10× LOQ), spiked recoveries varied between 63.5% and 115.4%, with the intraday and interday relative standard deviations of ≤12.9%. Through direct infiltration and compression, efficient matrix purification was accomplished within seconds, yielding negligible matrix effects (from −18.4% to +19.1%). Thus, the MIL-101(Cr)–rGO@MLS adsorbent possesses high potential for fast, convenient, and efficient matrix purification in complex sample analysis.

In this study, MIL-101(Cr)/cellulose aerogel/melamine sponge composite was fabricated through a simple soaking method. The composite was packed in the syringe barrel and used as the sorbent for microextraction in packed syringe. Coupled to UPLC-MS/MS, the proposed method was employed for the analysis of trace nitroimidazoles in water samples. The parameters affecting the extraction efficiency, including sorbent type, pH value of sample solution, sample solution volume and elution solvent were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, good linearity (r > 0.99 for five analytes), high sensitivity (limit of detection: 8.250–16.33 ng L −1 ), ideal precision (intra-day precision: 1.1%–5.3%, inter-day precision: 1.8%–6.7%) and satisfactory accuracy (recovery: 70.4%–96.7%) were achieved. The proposed method was proved to be efficient, easily operative and environmentally friendly.

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are a class of widely distributed persistent organic pollutants (POPs), attracting increased attention. Consequently, there is an urgent demand for sensitive, reliable, and high-throughput methods to detect PFCs. This study used a monomer-mediated in situ growth strategy to design and synthesize Fe 3 O 4 @TFA–TAPA–COF. Accordingly, a novel method based on Fe 3 O 4 @TFA–TAPA magnetic solid-phase extraction combined with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) was developed to detect 22 ultra trace PFCs from water and honey samples. Several techniques used to characterize Fe 3 O 4 @TFA–TAPA–COF showed that it had a porous structure with a large surface area (102.84 m²/g). Under optimized parameters, the ranges for the limit of detection (LOD) in water and honey were 0.42–23.44 pg/L and 3.36–187.52 pg/kg, respectively. The results indicated that Fe 3 O 4 @TFA–TAPA–COF had high selectivity, high adsorption ability, and reusability. Additionally, the proposed method exhibited good accuracy, low LOD, and good reproducibility. This method was successfully applied to determine PFCs in 54 tap water and 40 honey samples in Shijiazhuang, China, and provided methodological reference and technical support for the risk monitoring of food quality and safety.

1,3,8-Trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone (emodin), a widely existing natural product in herbal medicines, has been reported to be hepatotoxic, but the exact underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the role of CYP3A and glutathione (GSH) in emodin-induced liver injury. Primary human hepatocytes were exposed to emodin with and without addition of CYP3A inducer/inhibitor and GSH synthesis inhibitor. It was found that emodin-mediated cytotoxicity increased when CYP3A was activated and GSH was depleted. Hepatotoxicity induced by emodin in rats by activation/inhibition of CYP3A and depletion of GSH was further investigated. Administration of emodin in combination with l-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) or dexamethasone (DEX) resulted in aggravated liver injury, whereas pretreatment with ketoconazole (KTZ) suppressed the side effects caused by emodin. In addition, plasma exposure of emodin and its glucuronide metabolite were measured by ultraperformance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Emodin and its glucuronide were lower in BSO-, DEX-, and KTZ-co-treated rats compared with those administered with emodin alone. In conclusion, these mentioned results suggested that CYP3A induction and GSH depletion might be involved in hepatotoxicity induced by emodin. This study may help to understand the risk factors and the mechanism of hepatotoxicity of emodin in humans.

Vinegar is a traditional fermented flavouring, which has been a commercial product for thousands of years. Ganoderma vinegar (GV), Astragalus vinegar (AV), and Winter jujube vinegar (WV) are new functional health vinegars. The study aimed to recognize and compare the volatile compounds (VOCs) and non-volatile compounds (NVCs) in these vinegars based on metabolomic fingerprint. A total of 2417 differentially accumulated metabolites were screened out, which were classified as 8 clustering patterns using K-means method. The relative contents of 1076, 884, 457 metabolites were highest in GV, AV, WV, respectively, indicating GV dominating the comparative profile. Most VOCs were correlated with sweet, followed by fruity, green, woody, floral, herbal, waxy, fresh, spicy, balsamic, nutty, apple. The characteristics of NVCs exhibited that GV was dominant, followed by AV and WV. The study provided reference for investigation of authenticity, quality and origin of vinegars, and contributed to medical treatment of vinegar.

ABSTRACT Ziziphi Spinosae Semen (ZSS) has been used for treatment of insomnia in China for centuries. To reveal the influence of insomnia on the levels of the neurotransmitters including serotonin (5-HT), glutamic acid (Glu), γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA), noradrenaline (NE) and dopamine (DA), and to study the role of ZSS aqueous extract in the treatment of insomnia, an UPLC-ESI- MS/MS method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of five neurotransmitters in the rat brain. The brain samples were pretreated by one-step direct protein precipitation with acetonitrile. The analytes were detected in positive mode with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and the procedure was completed in less than 10 min. The method showed a good linearity ( R 2 > 0.9967) with the other validation parameters were within acceptance range. The results indicated that the concentration of 5-HT, GABA and DA is significantly lower ( P < 0.01) in para -chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)-induced insomnia rat model group, while Glu and NE significantly higher than those in control group ( P < 0.01). Treatment with ZSS aqueous extract (4 or 8 g·kg –1 ·d –1 for seven days) could ameliorate the symptoms of insomnia by significantly changing the levels of the neurotransmitter parameters mentioned above. The data obtained in this study demonstrate that ZSS aqueous extract could ameliorate the symptoms of insomnia by modulating the levels of monoamines and amino acid neurotransmitters in the brain.

More and more attention has been paid to the improved QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) method in dealing complex sample matrices, especially for the study of QuEChERS adsorbents. In this study, a magnetic mesoporous material, which was derived from MIL-88B modified by l -alanine, was synthesized as modified QuEChERS adsorbents for the simultaneous determination of multiple pesticides (Methomyl, Isoprocarb, Carbofuran, 3-Hydroxycarbofuran, Acetamiprid, Imidacloprid) in Chinese cabbage, celery, long bean and leek. The prepared magnetic adsorbents can effectively remove interfering substances from the sample, and the proposed modified QuEChERS method can reduce sample pretreatment time via an external magnetic field. To achieve the best performance of QuEChERS method, the clean-up time and amount of QuEChERS adsorbents were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, a simple, rapid and sensitive method for the determination of 6 pesticide residues in vegetables was established by coupling the modified QuEChERS to ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Excellent sensitivity (The limit of detection for the 6 pesticides ranged from 0.001 to 0.020 µg kg −1 ), satisfactory linearity (r 2 ≥ 0.9952), good recovery (73.9–107.7%) and good precision (3.6–16.9% for intraday relative standard deviation, 0.5–15.0% for interday relative standard deviation) were obtained. Compared with traditional QuEChERS method, the proposed method is simple, cost-effective, and efficient, which indicates that the method can be used to detect carbamate and neonicotinoid pesticides in real samples and provide an excellent pretreatment technique for the detection of trace multi-analytes from complex substrates.

Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pill (STDP) is a well-known compound preparation used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating cardiovascular diseases. Bufadienolides are the major active compounds of toad venom and are the key to the seven medicinal herbs that comprise STDP. In this study, a reliable and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for the quantitative determination of nine bufadienolides (bufalin, gamabufotalin, resibufogenin , marinobufagin , arenobufagin, desacetylcinobufagin, telocinobufagin, hellebrigenin, and hellebrigenol) in rat plasma and tissues (heart and liver). The chromatography column used was a Waters ACQUITY UPLC HSS-T3 column with gradient elution using mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile–water (0.1% formic acid added) at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. This method passed the methodological validation of plasma and tissues and was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution studies after oral administration of STDP in healthy and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) rats. This indicated that most bufadienolides were well absorbed and quickly distributed in the heart and liver. The area-under-the-curve (AUC) (0−t) of most analytes increased in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, most of the tested components showed lower plasma and higher tissue concentrations in I/R rats than in healthy rats. The above results on the oral pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution may be helpful for the clinical application of STDP.

Central nervous system (CNS) infections require adequate drug exposure at the site of action, yet antibiotic meropenem (MER) shows limited cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) penetration and easily undergoes non-enzymatic degradation to an inactive open-ring metabolite (ORM). In this study, we developed a simple, sensitive, and fast liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of MER and ORM in human serum and CSF. Chromatographic separation was accomplished on an Agela Venusil MP C18 column, with MER-d6 and ORM-d6 as internal standards. Methanol was found to promote methanolysis, yielding a characteristic product ( m/z 416.2). Therefore, acetonitrile was selected as both the organic phase and the protein-precipitation solvent. Method validation was conducted according to the ICH M10 guideline. Follow validation, the method was successfully applied to 57 serum and 16 CSF samples. ORM concentrations in human CSF were reported for the first time. This method provides a valuable tool to support MER monitoring in patients with CNS infections.

Zhaiji millet vinegar (ZJMV) is a traditional grain-fermented condiment whose quality improvement is associated with aging time. This study revealed the evolution of physicochemical properties and whole-component of ZJMVs aging 2 to 10 years. Results demonstrated pH, chroma, and the content of total acid, reducing sugar, and amino acid nitrogen fluctuate dynamically, while antioxidant activities were significantly correlated with the content of total flavonoids, total phenols, tetramethylpyrazine, amino acids, and organic acids ( p < 0.05). GC-IMS and metabolomics identified 47 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and 6530 metabolites, with 6 differential VOCs and 19 differential metabolites ( p < 0.05, variable importance in projection (VIP) > 1, fold change (FC) < 0.5 or > 2) being shared aging markers. KEGG pathway analysis indicated amino acid metabolism enriched the most differential metabolites, whereas biosynthesis of various alkaloids was critical. Our findings provide novel mechanistic insights into the quality development of ZJMV during aging.
