Pirarubicin (THP), doxorubicin (DOX), cyclophosphamide (CTX), and vincristine (VCR) are widely used in the treatment of patients with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Herein, a precise and sensitive method was developed for the determination of THP, DOX, CTX and VCR in human plasma by high-performance liquid-chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Liquid-liquid extraction was applied to extract THP, DOX, CTX, VCR, and the internal standard (IS, Pioglitazone) in plasma. Agilent Eclipse XDB-C18 (3.0 mm × 100 mm) was utilized and chromatographic separation was obtained in eight minutes. Mobile phases were composed of methanol and buffer (10 mM ammonium formate containing 0.1% formic acid). The method was linear within the concentration range of 1–500 ng/mL for THP, 2–1000 ng/mL for DOX, 2.5–1250 ng/mL for CTX, and 3–1500 ng/mL for VCR. The intra- and inter-day precisions of QC samples were found to be below 9.31 and 13.66%, and accuracy ranged from −0.2 to 9.07%, respectively. THP, DOX, CTX, VCR and the internal standard were stable in several conditions. Finally, this method was successfully utilized to simultaneously determine THP, DOX, CTX and VCR in human plasma of 15 patients with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after intravenous administration. Finally, the method was successfully employed in the clinical determination of THP, DOX, CTX, and VCR in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma after administration of RCHOP (rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) regimens.

In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybridized high internal phase emulsions were developed and polymerized as porous carriers for aptamer (5’/5AmMC6/-AGT CCG TGG TAG GGC AGG TTG GGG TGA CT-3’) modification to enrich human α-thrombin from serum. The structure and properties of the materials were confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The adsorption ability and selectivity were studied and the thrombin was detected with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS). The adsorption of thrombin onto the sorbent was achieved within 30 min and the desorption was realized using 5.0 mL of acetonitrile/water (80/20, v/v). The thrombin was quantified by LC–MS according to its characteristic peptide sequence of ELLESYIDGR. Graphical abstract

The biomonitoring of hydroxy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urine, as a direct way to access multiple exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, has raised great concerns due to their increasing hazardous health effects on humans. Solid-phase extraction is an effective and useful technique to preconcentrate trace analytes from biological samples. Here, we report a novel solid-phase extraction method using a graphene oxide incorporated monolithic syringe for the determination of six hydroxy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urine coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The effect of graphene oxide amount, washing solvent, eluting solvent, and its volume on the extraction performance were investigated. The fabricated monoliths gave higher adsorption efficiency and capacity than the neat polymer monolith and commercial C 18 sorbent. Under the optimum conditions, the developed method provided the detection limits ( S/N = 3) of 0.02–0.1 ng/mL and the linear ranges of 0.1–1500 ng/mL for six analytes in urine sample. The recoveries at three spiked levels ranged from 77.5 to 97.1%. Besides, the intra column-to-column ( n = 3) and inter batch-to-batch ( n = 3) precisions were ≤ 9.8%. The developed method was successfully applied for the determination of hydroxy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urine samples of coke oven workers.

In response to the inherent restriction of low Fe(II) regeneration in the Fenton process, this study demonstrated a mutual-promoting configuration, where oxygen functionalized g-C 3 N 4 (OCN) was applied in Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 system to utilize mild natural solar light (SL) for persistent Fe(II) generation. The constructed OCN/Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 /SL system exhibited strong adaptability to various pollutants, and it well outperformed the g-C 3 N 4 (GCN) modified system and the traditional Fenton system in pollutants degradation efficiency. Compared with GCN, OCN could significantly promote the Fe(II) generation under solar light (SL), leading to more efficient H 2 O 2 activation. The characterization analyses revealed the larger surface area and enhanced charge separation of OCN, which were considered to take main responsibility for its enhanced photoactivity. The complexation of Fe(III) with the carboxyl groups of OCN also benefited the Fe(II) generation. ·OH was detected as the dominant radical responsible for metronidazole (MNZ) degradation, and its production in the OCN modified system was about twice that in the GCN modified system and the Fenton system. Moreover, the precipitation of FeO x on the OCN surface benefited the charge separation of the OCN, so that the improved OCN enabled a slight enhancement of MNZ degradation in the reuse experiments. The intermediates of MNZ degradation were analyzed based on the results of LC-MS, which provided insight into MNZ degradation pathways. This work highlighted the concept of self-improving photocatalyst, the ingenious combination of photocatalysis and Fenton-like system formed a mutual-promoting situation where the OCN and the Fenton-like system could both be improved, which endowed the configuration great potential for green and economical oxidation in environmental remediation.

The sintering aggregation of carbon material (ZIF-N-C-600), as well as the tendency towards agglomeration and oxidation of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (Fe 0 ) limit their applications in advanced oxidation processes. Hence, a flower-like Fe 0 @ZIF-N-C-600 was rationally constructed by facile one-step self-assembly to ameliorate peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation. The polyhedral ZIF-N-C-600 aggregates were exfoliated into thinner porous nanosheets and Fe 0 nanoparticles were effectively dispersed and anchored onto ZIF-N-C-600. 96.7 % of metronidazole (MNZ) was eliminated by the Fe 0 @ZIF-N-C-600/PDS system, and the removal reaction rate constant k values were 2 and 2.55 times as high as Fe 0 @ZIF/PDS and Fe 0 /PDS, respectively. Fe 0 , defective sites, C=O and pyridinic N were identified as the active sites promoting PDS activation to produce ·OH, SO 4 · - , ·O 2 – and 1 O 2 for synergistic oxidative elimination of MNZ. The formation rate of ·OH was calculated to be 4.62 times higher than that of the SO 4 · - by multivariate nonlinear fitting, and the ·OH contributes up to 63.5 %. Fe 0 @ZIF-N-C-600/PDS system possesses excellent tolerance and selectivity to complicated water bodies, and the effective continuous degradation was achieved in a self-made catalytic reactor. Moreover, DFT calculations and LC-MS analysis were applied to deduce possible pathways for MNZ degradation. This work offers an effective strategy to regulate the morphology of sintered carbon materials and improve the application of metal nanoparticles in advanced oxidation processes.

Quantification of steroids possesses a crucial clinical value in early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of various endocrine diseases. However, it is still challenging to realize feasible analysis of estrogens, androgens, progestogens, and corticoids within one single workflow. In this study, two derivatization reactions were newly designed for improvement: (1) acylation of phenolic hydroxyl on estrogens with isonicotinoyl chloride (INC) under the catalysis of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and (2) post-modification of oxime hydroxyl on hydroxylamine-pretreated ketosteroids with INC. Both reactions could conduct instantaneously at room temperature under aqueous conditions. Moreover, the resulting phenolic-INC and oxime-INC esters exhibited favorable MS responses. Through integrating these derivatization strategies with cold-induced phase separation technology, a feasible LC–MS/MS method was developed for simultaneous quantification of 15 multiclass steroids with proper sample consumption (50 μL serum), satisfying sensitivity (lower limit of quantitation at 0.01–5.00 ng/mL) and high throughput (40 min for sample-preparation). The practical applicability was tested by detecting 30 real samples from pregnant and non-pregnant women. The obtained results showed a good agreement with a previous validated methodology.

Mycotoxins are poisonous secondary fungal toxic metabolites and harmful to human health. Traditional Chinese medicinal materials (TCMs), including more than two hundred functional foods, are vulnerably bred fungi, causing spoilage and multi-mycotoxins contamination. This study established a simultaneous analytical method by using multi-mycotoxins immunoaffinity column (multi-IAC) and HPLC-MS/MS to evaluate mycotoxins' contamination levels and natural incidence in TCMs. Aflatoxins (AFs, including AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2), ochratoxin A (OTA), fumonisins (FB1 and FB2), zearalenone (ZEN), deoxynivalenol (DON) and T-2 toxins in three TCMs or functional foods of Polygalae Radix (PR), Coicis Semen (CS) and Eupolyphaga Steleophaga (ES) were detected. The systematically investigated results of 30 batch AFB1 positive samples revealed co-occurrence and correlation of multi-mycotoxins are significant differences in various matrices. All the samples in this study contain more than 5 mycotoxins. AFB1-AFs, AFB1-FBs, AFB1-DON, and AFB1-T-2 are the most observed co-occurrence, AFB1-OTA is also of concern due to its synergistic toxicity. This study's results can be used to establish guidelines for screening mycotoxin contaminants and limitations on acceptable levels in TCMs. Simultaneously, mycotoxin's correlation results in different matrices can also provide a reference for the standardization of TCM production and processing.

Strawberry fruit quality is linked to its phytochemical composition, yet the diversity of non-volatile terpenoids remains largely unexplored. Therefore, a comparative LC-MS/MS-based metabolomic analysis of terpenoid profiles was conducted using three commercial cultivars (Fragaria×ananassa) and a wild accession ofFragaria nilgerrensis(HM). Results from this study showed that the HM cultivar had a total terpenoid abundance 5–6 times higher than the commercial cultivars. The HM cultivar was uniquely enriched in specific triterpenoids, such as 3β,6β,19α,24-Tetrahydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid and 13,27-Cyclo-2,3-Dihydroxy-11,19(29)-Ursadien-28-Oic Acid, which was over 450 times higher than the ‘Danxue’ and ‘Fenyu’ commercial strawberry cultivars. Conversely, sesquiterpenoids like Alismol and Pterocarpol were 100 times lower in HM than in the commercial cultivars. This enhanced triterpenoid accumulation strongly correlated with a superior capacity to scavenge free radicals in vitro, with HM showing maximum capacity, as measured by the DPPH assay. These findings highlight the value of wild strawberry germplasm as a reservoir of biochemical diversity for breeding strawberries with enhanced functional quality.

In the process of anticancer drug development, research on the mechanism of action remains a major obstacle. In the present study, a cell metabolic profiling based discriminatory model was designed to give general direction on anticancer candidate mechanisms. Firstly, ultra-performance liquid chromatography in tandem with high-definition mass spectrometry was applied to obtain a comprehensive metabolic view of 12 human tumor cells. Secondly, multivariate data analysis was used to assess the metabolites’ variations, and 42 metabolites were identified as the main contributors to the discrimination of different groups. Then a metabolite-based prediction model was constructed for the first time and verified by cross validation (R2 = 0.909 and Q2 = 0.869) and a permutation test (R2 = 0.0871 and Q2 = −0.4360). To validate if the model can be applied for mechanism prediction, 4 independent sample sets were used to train the model and the data dots of different drugs were located in different regions. Finally, the model was applied to predict the anticancer mechanism of two natural compounds and the results were consistent with several other studies. Overall, this is the first experimental evidence which reveals that a metabolic profiling based prediction model has good performance in anticancer mechanism research, and thus it may be a new method for rapid mechanism screening.

Halogenated aromatic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are gradually receiving attention due to their high detection frequency and usually higher toxicity than regulated DBPs. In this study, we established a solid phase extraction (SPE)-LC-MS/MS method to simultaneously trace analyze 59 halogenated aromatic DBPs. The limits of detection and limits of quantification of halogenated aromatic DBPs ranged from 0.03 ng/L to 135.23 ng/L and 0.1 ng/L to 450.76 ng/L, respectively. The range of recoveries and relative standard deviation (RSD) in river water were between 72.41 % to 119.54 % and 1.86 % to 16.03 %, respectively. Therefore, this method can be used to accurately analyze trace levels of halogenated aromatic DBPs in drinking water. The occurrence and transformation of halogenated aromatic DBPs were explored based on this method. In the chlorinated simulated source water and chlorinated river water, 20 and 45 halogenated aromatic DBPs were determined, respectively. The active halogen species (HOCl, HOBr, and HOI) first reacted with natural organic matter (NOM) to form halogenated aromatic DBPs. Then, chlorine further reacted with the halogenated aromatic DBPs to convert them into small-molecule halogenated aliphatic DBPs through oxidation, electrophilic substitution, and hydrolysis reaction, etc. In the chlorinated simulated source water, chlorinated river water, and tap water, the toxicity contribution of bromoacetic acids (Br-HAAs) accounted for the majority (> 71.16 %). Given that halogenated aromatic DBPs are intermediate products of halogenated aliphatic DBPs, controlling the formation of halogenated aromatic DBPs is beneficial in decreasing the formation of halogenated aliphatic DBPs, thereby diminishing the toxicity of drinking water.

Validated LC-MS/MS for 4-MEC, M1 and M2 in whole blood • Applied to IV and intragastric pharmacokinetic study • First in vivo PK characterization of 4-MEC and major metabolites • M2 shows prolonged exposure and extended detection window 4-Methyl- N -ethylcathinone (4-MEC) is a novel psychoactive substance and its in vivo exposure characterization remains unknown. In this study, a sensitive and robust liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and fully validated for the simultaneous quantification of 4-MEC and its two major metabolites in rat whole blood. Then it was applied to pharmacokinetic studies of 4-MEC in rats by intravenous and intragastric administration, characterizing the concentration-time profiles of the parent compound and its metabolites. The results revealed distinct exposure patterns between 4-MEC and its metabolites. Notably, M2 ( N -deethylated metabolite) exhibited a prolonged detection window compared with 4-MEC, supporting metabolite-based monitoring strategies and thereby extending its application in forensic toxicology and drug abuse identification.

As a plant with a rich history of medicinal and dietary use, Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino is predominantly characterized by the gypenosides. Contemporary research has demonstrated that these saponins possess significant hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effects. This study focused on developing an LC-MS/MS approach to elucidate the pharmacokinetic profiles of 13 gypenosides in rat models. The separation was accomplished using a ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 µm). Detection was facilitated by employing positive electrospray ionization (ESI) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The analytical method was fully validated, including selectivity, linear response, measurement precision, analytical accuracy, extraction efficiency, matrix interference, and sample stability. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for all compounds was 10 ng/mL, with each exhibiting a favorable linear relationship (r ≥ 0.9960). The precision, as measured by the relative standard deviation (RSD) for intra-day and inter-day variability, did not exceed 8.41 %. The accuracy, expressed as the relative error (RE), varied from −4.42–8.42 %. The recovery rate of the extraction process was between 92.02 % and 114.77 %, and no notable matrix effects were detected. The stability of the compounds was confirmed under four distinct storage conditions. Pharmacokinetic results indicated that all analytes displayed rapid absorption, prolonged retention, and slow elimination in rats, and exhibited nonlinear pharmacokinetics at low, medium, and high dosage levels. This study has established a quantification method for 13 gypenosides and successfully applied it to their pharmacokinetic studies in rats, providing a foundation for their further development and utilization.
