Ilexhainanoside D (IhD) and Ilexsaponin A1 (IsA) are a pair of oleanene- and ursane-type triterpenoid saponins, which are also the main bioactive pharmaceutical ingredients of Ilex hainanensis Merr. with great potential to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The pharmacokinetics of four representative triterpenoids in mice were investigated in this study, which were IhD, IsA and their major metabolites 3β, 19α-dihydroxyolean-12-ene-24, 28-dioic acid (ID) and Ilexgenin A (IA). A sensitive and accurate UPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantitative determination of IhD, IsA, ID and IA in control and NAFLD mice plasma after oral administration of the total saponins of I. hainanensis (the contents of IhD and IsA were 41.6% and 54.4%, respectively). The results revealed that the pharmacokinetic behaviors could be changed in NAFLD mice compared with control mice. The area under the plasma drug concentration–time curve and maximum plasma concentrations of IhD and IsA were greatly decreased in the NAFLD mice. However, the main residence time of ID and IA were greatly increased in the NAFLD mice. The results revealed that this method could be used to analyze two pairs of triterpenoid isomers in biological samples.

An ultrasensitive indirect competitive chemiluminescence immunoassay (icCLEIA) based on monoclonal antibodies (mAb) for the effective detection of nitrofurantoin metabolite 1-aminohydantoin was developed under optimal conditions in our study. 1-aminohydantoin (AHD) was derivatized with m-formylphenoxyacetic acid (MCEP) to obtain a hapten MCEPAHD. The developed icCLEIA based on anti-MCEPAHD mAb showed high sensitivity to competing drugs 2-nitrophenyl derivative of AHD (2NPAHD) with a limit of detection (LOD) 0.04 ng/mL and a 50 % inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) 0.27 ng/mL, and the icCLEIA had an ultra-high specificity for 2NPAHD, with little cross-reactivity with structural analogues other than parent drug nitrofurantoin. The mean recovery of AHD in fish samples was found to be 97.0 % to 118.5 %, with a coefficient of variation of less than 7.0 %. A comparison of the results of ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) with those of icCLEIA demonstrated good linearity. These assay results indicated that the prepared mAb against MCEPAHD and the developed icCLEIA in our research can be used for simple, fast and sensitive detection of AHD residues in animal tissues.

Objective: Carnation is a plant that holds high value in terms of its edibility, medicinal properties, and ornamental appeal. Creating no sense he aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and antitumor properties of extracts derived from various parts of the carnation plant. Metabolomics technology was employed to identify the primary chemical constituents.Methods: Initially, we measured the total phenolic and total flavonoid contents in carnation roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, followed by assessing the antioxidant and anti-tumor capabilities of each component using diverse experimental methods. Subsequently, UPLC-MS/MS was employed to identify metabolites in different parts of carnation and investigate their roles in antioxidant and anti-tumor activities.Results: Mention numerical value- for better underatnding- Results of the study indicated that the methanol extract obtained from carnation flowers and roots exhibited superior antioxidant capacity compared to that from the stems and leaves. This disparity may be attributed to the abundance of polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants present in the flowers, including methyl ferulate and luteolin-4’-O-glucoside. Furthermore, the significant presence of the anthraquinone compound rhein-8-O-glucoside in carnation roots may contribute to their enhanced antioxidant properties. Ten distinct compounds were isolated and recognized in carnation flowers, with Isoorientin 2”-O-rhamnoside and Kurarinone demonstrating notable antioxidant activity and binding affinity to SOD1 and SOD3, as validated through antioxidant screening and molecular docking.Conclusion: Overall, the findings from this study have expanded our knowledge of the phytochemical composition across different anatomical regions of the carnation plant, providing valuable insights for its holistic utilization.

Nucleobases, nucleosides, nucleotides and amino acids are important nutritional compounds, and some of them are positively correlated with the umami taste in scented tea. Taking these nutrients of Flos Chrysanthemi from three different flowering stages as the research object, an integrated strategy of ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple-quadrupole linear ion-trap tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS), Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR) and multivariate statistical analysis was proposed to set up a systematic quality evaluation system for Flos Chrysanthemi from discovery to the rapid prediction of quality markers. First, a rapid, sensitive and accurate UPLC–MS/MS method was established to simultaneously determine 40 nucleobases, nucleosides, nucleotides and amino acids in three different flowering stages of Flos Chrysanthemi. The results indicated that Flos Chrysanthemi from three different flowering stages are rich in 40 nutritional compounds detected above and could be developed as functional products possessed nutraceutical and bioactive properties. Next, ten potential quality markers for three flowering stages of Flos Chrysanthemi were screened using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and the plot of variable importance for projection (VIP), and the related metabolic pathways were identified for the first time. Furthermore, three of the ten potential quality markers, namely, glutamate, asparagine and aspartate were selected as key quality markers. Finally, three best PLS regression models constructed with FT-NIR were developed to predict the contents of the three key quality markers using the optimal spectral preprocessing methods and spectral interval combinations screened by synergy interval-PLS (Si-PLS), which yielded excellent prediction performance: 0.9766 ≤ R 2 p (coefficient of determination for prediction) ≤ 0.9858 and 6.3059 ≤ RPD (ratio of prediction to deviation) ≤ 7.3613. To sum up, the integrated quality marker discovery and FT-NIR quantitation strategy was suitable for fast quality evaluation of Flos Chrysanthemi.

Background The measurement of plasma catecholamines (CAs) including dopamine (DA), epinephrine (E), and norepinephrine (NE) and theirderivatives including metanephrine (MN), normetanephrine (NMN), vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), and homovanillic acid (HVA) hasbeen used in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) and primary hypertension (PH) but are typically detectedindividually when clinical testing. In this study, pre-column derivatization with dansyl chloride (DNS-Cl) combined with anultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed to simultaneously quantifyHVA, VMA, MN, NMN, DA, E, and NE in the plasma from patients with PPGL and PH. Methods Plasma samples were extracted by acetonitrile and derivatized with DNS-Cl, followed by reverse phase separation and triplequadruple detection. Quantification of the CAs and their derivatives in 10 PPGL, 10 PH, and 100 healthy subjects was performedby UPLC-MS/MS analysis. Results All the values of detected CAs/derivatives were in the linearity ranges of the fitted curves. The expression levels of theseven CAs in the PPGL and PH patients were significantly higher than the healthy controls, suggesting increased CA productionin the former. There were significant differences in plasma NE, NMN, and VMA levels between the PPGL and PH patients, butthere was no significant difference in plasma E, MN, DA, and HVA. A discriminant analysis showed that 90% of the final caseswere classified correctly based on the detected CAs/derivatives. Conclusions Our results show that the combined detection of the seven CAs/derivatives could be used for the clinical diagnosis of PPGLand PH.

Michael reaction acceptors (MRAs) are a class of active molecules that are directly or indirectly involved in various cellular processes, including the regulation of many signaling pathways . In this study, the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) assay was used to demonstrate that the dichloromethane extract of Physalis alkekengi var . franchetii (DCEP) possesses anti-inflammatory activity that might be attributed to the modification of key cysteine residues in IKKβ by the MRAs in DCEP. To isolate these MRAs, glutathione (GSH) was employed, and a simple ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) screening method was developed to investigate the GSH conjugates with potential MRAs. Five physalins, including one new compound isophysalin A ( 2 ), together with four known steroidal compounds, physalin A ( 1 ), physalin O ( 3 ), physalin L ( 4 ) and physalin G ( 5 ), were isolated to evaluate the GSH conjugating abilities, and it was indicated that compounds 1 , 2 and 3 , which had a common α,β-unsaturated ketone moiety, exhibited conjugating abilities with GSH and also showed significant nitric oxide (NO) production inhibiting activities. The anti-inflammatory activities of compounds 1 , 2 and 3 might be attributed to their targeting multiple cysteine residues on IKKβ; therefore, the alkylation of IKKβ by compound 1 was further studied by micrOTOF-MS. The result showed that six cysteine residues (C 59 , C 179 , C 299 , C 370 , C 412 , and C 618 ) were alkylated, which indicated that IKKβ is a potential target for the anti-inflammatory activity of physalin A.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Extracts from Ginkgo biloba L. leaves confer their therapeutic effects through the synergistic actions of flavonoid and terpenoid components, but some non-flavonoid and non-terpenoid components also exist in this extract. In the study of this paper, an investigation was carried out to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of fourteen compounds to clarify the influences of non-flavonoid and non-terpenoid fraction (WEF) on the pharmacokinetics profile of the flavonoid fraction (FF) and the terpene lactone fraction (TLF) from Ginkgo biloba extracts . Materials and methods A selective and sensitive UPLC–MS/MS method was established to determine the plasma concentrations of the fourteen compounds to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters after orally administration of FF, TLF, FF–WEF, FF–TLF, TLF–WEF and FF–TLF–WEF with approximately the same dose. At different time points, the concentration of rutin (1), isoquercitrin (2), quercetin 3-O-[4-O-(-β-D-glucosyl)-α-L-rhamnoside] (3), ginkgolide C (4), bilobalide (5), quercitrin (6), ginkgolide B (7), ginkgolide A (8), luteolin (9), quercetin (10), apigenin (11), kaempferol (12), isorhamnetin (13), genkwanin (14) in rat plasma were determined and main pharmacokinetic parameters including T 1/2 , T max , C max and AUC were calculated using the DAS 3.2 software package. The statistical analysis was performed using the Student׳s t-test with P <0.05 as the level of significance. Results FF and WEF had no effect on the pharmacokinetic behaviors and parameters of the four terpene lactones, but the pharmacokinetic profiles and parameters of flavonoids changed while co-administered with non-flavonoid components. It was found that C max and AUC of six flavonoid aglycones in group FF–WEF, FF–TLF and FF–TLF–WEF had varying degrees of reduction in comparison with group FF, especially in group FF–TLF–WEF. On the contrary, the values of C max , T max and AUC of four flavonoid glycosides in group FF–TLF–WEF were significantly increased compared with those in group FF. Conclusions These results indicate that non-flavonoid components in Ginkgo biloba extracts could increase the absorption and improve the bioavailability of flavonoid glycosides but decrease the absorption and reduce the bioavailability of flavonoid aglycones.
