SUMMARY Lipid metabolites play an important role in understanding the stress physiology of Pyropia haitanensis , and can be used to facilitate development of stress-resistant Pyropia cultivars. Therefore, in this study ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) based metabolomics approaches were developed to screen the responses of lipid metabolites such as phospholipids, glycolipids, fatty acids and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to different heat shock times. A total of 26 potential lipid biomarkers including Lyso-monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (Lyso-MGDG), Lyso-digalactosyldiacylglycerol (Lyso-DGDG), sulfoquinovosylmonoacylglycerols (SQMG), sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG), diacylglyceryltrimethylhomoserine (DGTS), triacylglycerol (TAG), Lyso-phosphatidicacid (Lyso-PA), Lyso-phosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC), Lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine (Lyso-PE), Lyso-phosphatidylglycerol (Lyso-PG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) were identified, most of which responded to high temperature by reducing or increasing levels after stimulation for 1 h or 6 h. After times longer than 6 h, the levels of most lipids gradually recovered to the control group levels. Moreover, the balance of lipids and fatty acids transformation was disrupted. Overall, 11 total fatty acids (TFAs), 13 free fatty acids (FFAs) and 29 VOCs were identified during 0–72 h of high temperature stress. The FFAs, especially polyunsaturated C 20 fatty acids and VOCs, showed opposing change trends, indicating the transformation between C 20 fatty acids and VOCs. Overall, this study provides important insights into the metabolic variations of P. haitanensis under different heat shock time and the relationship between the conversion of lipids, fatty acids, and VOCs. The information provided herein will facilitate efficient development and improvement of Pyropia quality by producing cultivars resistant to high temperature.

This study aimed at obtaining precise quality control standards to efficiently screen Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. ‘ Boju ’ with strong xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory activity for developing C. morifolium ‘ Boju ’ extract based-hypouricemic functional food. The results indicated significant differences in volatile and phenolic profiles and XO inhibitory (XOI) activities of 31 batches of C. morifolium ‘ Boju ’ collected in herb/tea market. The minority of C. morifolium ‘ Boju ’ having abundant characteristic monoterpenoids and flavonoid aglycones showed strong XOI activities, while the majority of C. morifolium ‘ Boju ’ possessing few corresponding monoterpenoids and flavonoid aglycones exhibited moderate XOI activities. Seven XOI activity-directly related phenolics and ten XOI activity-indirectly related volatiles were identified by UPLC-ESI-QTOF/MS-based and HS-SPME-GC/MS-based spectrum-effect relationships, respectively. Three flavonoids (luteolin, apigenin and acacetin) identified as key XO inhibitors and four monoterpenoids (filifolone, α-terpineol, thymol and piperitenone) closely related to key XO inhibitors were screened for XOI activity-oriented quality control of C. morifolium ‘ Boju ’.

Tree peony essential oil (EO) is a critical material for flavor and function in the industrial fields of perfume, medicine and food. To conduct an overall analysis of different varieties of tree peony EOs, the composition, aroma characteristics and antioxidant activity of ZiBan and FengDan EOs were analyzed by two-dimensional gas chromatography and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOF/MS) and the odor activity value (OAV). A total of 151 and 123 compounds were identified in ZiBan and FengDan EOs, respectively, in which ZiBan EO was characterized by alcohol, alkane and acid, and FengDan EO was represented by aldehyde, alcohol and terpene. Nevertheless, there were great differences in the content of coexisting substances in the two kinds of EOs. The aroma result indicated that the characteristic aroma and intensity of the two kinds of tree peony EOs were completely different; the aroma of ZiBan EO was mainly composed of fruity and floral aromas, whereas that of FengDan EO primarily consisted of fruity, fatty, grass and floral odors. The antioxidant activities of ZiBan EO was better than that of FengDan EO. The total antioxidant activities of ZiBan and FengDan EOs were found to be 0.020 mg Vc/mL EO and 0.003 mg Vc/mL EO, while the DPPH radical scavenging abilities of ZiBan and FengDan EOs were 24.77% and 21.60%, respectively.

Cobalt-containing spinel oxides are promising platforms to fine-tune the intrinsic activity/selectivity of their geometric sites in catalysis. However, the role of tetrahedrally occupied Co 2+ (Co 2+ Td ) and Co 3+ in an octahedral site (Co 3+ Oh ) in controlling the catalytic activity remains controversial. Herein, we investigated a geometrical-site-dependent catalytic activation of ozone respectively on the Co 2+ Td and Co 3+ Oh sites. The same exposure of [111] crystal facet is achieved by substituting those undesired sites with catalytically inactive cations. The highly spin-polarized Co 2+ Td sites invoke strong orbital interactions and intensive electron transfer with the adsorbed O 3 and become the active sites for selectively producing surface-bound hydroxyl radicals ( • OH) and avoiding the formation of unfavorable singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), resulting in a 17.6-fold increase in turnover frequency (TOF). This work enlightens the spin-polarized electronic states into regulating the reaction thermodynamics in transition metal oxide-induced catalysis and envisages the practical application potentials of geometric site engineered spinel oxides.

Novel boronic acid-functionalized magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes with flexible branched polymer (Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA) nanocomposites were fabricated and applied as the desorption/ionization matrix for the MALDI-TOF-MS determination of low molecular weight flavonoids . The prepared nanocomposite was systematically characterized by various techniques. Compared to the traditional organic matrix, the proposed Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA matrix has excellent ionization efficiency and low-background noise interference due to the MWCNTs unique electron-phonon interaction and the high introduction density of boronic acid functional groups. Good sensitivity and ultra-high salt tolerance of the Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA-assisted MALDI-TOF-MS were permitted for the determination and quantification of flavonoids in actual samples. Noticeably, the limits of detection (LODs) for the target flavonoids were in the range 17–33 nM. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of spot-to-spot and sample-to-sample (n = 10) were ≤ 9.8% and ≤ 10.1%, respectively. Furthermore, the wide linear ranges (0.1 – 500 µg/mL) and satisfactory calibration plot coefficients (R 2 > 0.99) of flavonoids were achieved by MALDI-TOF-MS with the Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA matrix. Good recoveries (92–105.5%) were achieved for the target flavonoids in practical food samples. Hence, the prepared Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA nanocomposites have applications in the selective and efficient capture of target flavonoids active biomolecules coupled with MALDI-TOF-MS determination in actual samples.

Zhu-Ling decoction (ZLD), a classical traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, is used for the treatment of chronic kidney diseases. However, the structure and activity of absorbed oligosaccharides (OSs) in ZLD are not clear. In this study, a novel strategy with in vivo characterization, extraction, isolation, activity evaluation was established and applied to identify absorbed anti-inflammatory OSs in ZLD. The results revealed that 30 OSs (22 reducing and 8 non-reducing OSs) and 11 OSs (7 reducing and 4 non-reducing OS) were characterized from ZLD in vitro and in vivo by using UPLC/Q-TOF-MS with PMP derivatization, respectively. Among them, a series of −1 → 3- β -D-Glcp-OSs were isolated and identified by HPLC-HILIC-UVD-ELSD, SPHPLC-HILIC-RID, monosaccharide composition, MS and 1D/2D-NMR spectroscopy, including laminaritriose, laminaritetraose, laminaripentaose, laminarihexaose, laminariheptaose, laminarioctaose and laminarinonaose. Moreover, the 4 non-reducing absorbed OSs were identified by comparison with reference standards, including sucrose, trehalose, raffinose and stachyose. Among them, laminaritriose, laminaritetraose and laminaripentaose significantly inhibited TNF-α and IL-6 levels in LPS-induced HK-2 cell and exerted significant anti-inflammatory effects via the NF-κB and Akt/mTOR signaling pathways. Together, our work provides a novel strategy for discovery of absorbed anti-inflammatory OSs and broadens new horizons for the discovery of in vivo pharmacodynamic substances in TCM formulas.

Herein, a highly efficient electro-peroxone (E-peroxone) process with graphite felt as ozone diffusion electrode (ODE) was developed for the synchronous removal of pharmaceutical contaminants and inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms in real hospital wastewater. Under optimal conditions, the total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate of real hospital wastewater could reach 93.9%. Importantly, 126 pharmaceutical compounds (antibiotics, antivirals, analgesics, antiepileptics, hormones, and others) were determined in hospital wastewater by using ultra performance liquid chromatography combined with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS). 110 pharmaceutical compounds could be efficiently degraded in E-peroxone system. Concurrently, the microbial community analysis through high-throughput sequencing showed that E-peroxone process exhibited an excellent disinfection effect in real hospital wastewater. Escherichia coli as a bacterial indicator could be completely inactivated in E-peroxone process·H 2 O 2 and hydroxyl radical ( OH) were found in E-peroxone system based on the results of chemical probe experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. The in-situ generation of H 2 O 2 from cathodic oxygen reduction in ODE can react with ozone to produce OH, and realize high efficiencies for the elimination of pharmaceutical and sterilization. This work established a green and effective way without extra addition of chemical reagents for high-efficiency treatment of real hospital wastewater.

We previously showed that BZG is a novel multitarget kinase inhibitor, which inhibited hepatocellular carcinoma in vivo and in vitro . In the present study, we used ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF MS) to characterize BZG and its metabolites generated in vivo . The probable metabolic mechanism was further confirmed by analysis of Phase I and Phase II metabolism in liver microsomes and with recombinant enzymes. In addition, the binding affinities of BZG metabolites to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) were predicted using electronic high throughput screening (eHiTS). The results showed that BZG underwent phase I and phase II metabolism. We detected 11 BZG metabolites and identified hydroxylation, glucuronation, acetylation, sulfonation and degradation as the major metabolic processes in vivo and in vitro . Five of the eleven metabolites showed highly favorable eHiTS energy scores that were lower than sorafenib. Knowledge of the in vivo metabolic pathways of BZG and its binding affinities to VEGFR2 will be beneficial for further clinical development of BZG.

The design of non-noble metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) with superior performance for semi-hydrogenation of alkynol to alkenol is remarkable but challenging. Herein, fluorine-tuned Fe SACs supported on N, F-codoped carbon (Fe 1 -NFC) with a Fe-N 4 F 1 structure is successfully prepared via a complexation method. The axial F-doping can modulate the electronic structure of the metalloporphyrin-like active sites (Fe-N 4 ), promoting the transfer of electrons from Fe atoms to F atoms to form electron-deficient Fe δ+ species. As a result, the Fe 1 -NFC catalyst shows a remarkable activity for the semi-hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol to 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol under mild conditions, with a TOF of 9163 h −1 and a selectivity of 96 % at 97 % conversion, both much higher than that of the Fe SACs supported on N-doped carbon (Fe 1 -NC). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the excellent catalytic activity is attributed to the interfacial electronic effect of Fe species induced by axial F-doping, thereby enhancing the exothermic adsorption of alkynol on the Fe-N 4 F 1 structures and accelerating the desorption of alkenol to against the overhydrogenation.

Oolong tea is a partially fermented tea with distinct tastes and aromas. However, the dynamic biochemical changes during oolong tea processing are not well understood. In this study, we performed metabolomics-based profiling of non-volatile and volatile constituents of oolong tea during its entire processing procedures by UPLC-QTOF MS and GC-TOF MS. A step-wise change of tea metabolome was observed, where catechins and oxidized products, flavonol glycosides and amino acids were identified as key discriminate metabolites. The ZuoQing process comprising alternating YaoQing and TanQing steps was deemed most critical for key metabolic transformation. Extensive YaoQing facilitated the oxidative polymerizations of catechins into theaflavins and proanthocyanidins, lowering the astringency in raw tea. Two direct terpene precursors farnesyl pyrophosphate and geranyl pyrophosphate accumulated to high levels during ZuoQing, which provided more substrates for the synthesis of downstream volatile terpenes. Moreover, both YaoQing and prolonged TanQing facilitated the formation of terpenes as well as fatty acid and benzenoid-derived volatiles, which contributed to the fruity and floral fragrances in oolong tea. The fixation step not only converted amino acids into aromatic compounds, but also lowered the amounts of flavonol glycosides, potentially improving the flavor quality of the final tea product. This study provides a comprehensive profile of flavor-related metabolic changes during oolong tea processing and will contribute to better quality control and flavor improvement of oolong tea.

LotusReceptaculum Nelumbinishas been sparking wide research interests due to its rich phenolic compounds. In the present work, ultrasonic-assisted extraction coupled with glycerol was employed to extract phenolic compounds fromReceptaculum Nelumbinisand the process was optimized using a response surface methodology with Box-Behnken design (BBD). The optimal conditions for the total phenolic content (TPC) extract were obtained: glycerol concentration of 40%, an extraction temperature of 66 °C, ultrasonic time of 44 min, and the solvent-to-solid ratio of 55 mL/g. Under these optimum extraction conditions, the extraction yield of TPC was 92.84 ± 2.13 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE) /g. Besides, the antioxidant activities demonstrated the ability of free radical scavenging by four different methods that included 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and reducing activity (RA) were 459.73 ± 7.07, 529.97 ± 7.30, 907.61 ± 20.28, and 983.66 ± 11.80 μmol TE/g, respectively. Six phenolic compounds were identified by ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography combined with triple-time-of-flight mass spectrophotometry (UPLC-Triple-TOF/MS) from the extracts. Meanwhile, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) was conducted to identify the characteristic functional groups of the extracts and thus reflected the presence of polyphenols and flavonoids. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) illustrated the microstructure difference of four treatments, which might explain the relationships between antioxidant activities and the structures of phenolic compounds.

This study describes the catalytic formation of alternating and regioregular copolymers from carbonyl sulfide (COS) and epoxides along with eugenol-based glycidyl ether (EGE) and guaiacol-based glycidyl ether (GGE), derived from eugenol and guaiacol, respectively. The (salen)CrCl [salen = N,N′-bis(salicylidene) cyclohexanediimine] complex, accompanied with various organic bases, was highly active towards the EGE/COS, GGE/COS copolymerization and EGE/GGE/COS terpolymerization. The turnover of frequency (TOF) of the (salen)CrCl complex for the EGE/COS copolymerization was up to 12 000 h−1. The number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the resultant EGE/COS copolymer was up to 62.2 kg mol−1. In the presence of 0.5–1.5 mol% chlorohydrin, which was a by-product of the synthetic process of EGE, α-Cl, ω-OH EGE/COS copolymers were obtained. This result suggests that chlorohydrin could act as a very efficient chain transfer agent for the copolymerization. The EGE/COS, GGE/COS, and EGE/GGE/COS copolymers were soluble in most of the common solvents and exhibited a high refractive index of more than 1.58 with high Abbe numbers of up to 40.4. This study provides an unprecedented and sustainable synthetic route for making soluble sulfur-rich polymers with high optical properties.
