Amphenicol antibiotics including chloramphenicol (CAP), florfenicol (FF) and thiamphenicol (TAP) have been widely used in aquaculture and veterinary to treat various infections. Because of their high toxicity, it is important to detect these amphenicol antibiotics simultaneously. Using the monoclonal antibody against CAP (mAbCAP) binding CAP only and the mAbFF recognizing both FF and TAP, the two antibodies were covalently coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose-4B for the simultaneous extraction of CAP, FF and TAP from samples. The bound CAP, FF and TAP were eluted from the Sepharose-4B and measured by LC–MS/MS. The extraction conditions of the two-antibodies-immobilized immunoaffinity clean-up (IAC) for CAP, FF and TAP were optimized and the maximum capacity was investigated. The extraction efficiency of IAC for CAP, FF and TAP was 1.1–2.1 times higher than that of SPE. The LC–MS/MS coupled with IAC was a powerful analytical method for the detection of CAP, FF and TAP simultaneously.

Superoxide anion radical scavenger and xanthine oxidase inhibitor play an important role in the treatment of several relevant human diseases. In the present study, ultrafiltration liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry coupled to microplate reader was applied to screen and identify superoxide anion radical scavengers and xanthine oxidase inhibitors from total flavonoids of Ginkgo biloba leaves. As a result, four compounds (quercetin, apigenin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin) were screened as xanthine oxidase inhibitors by ultrafiltration LC–MS, and the 50% scavenging concentration values of the screened flavonoids were lower than those for allopurinol. Lineweaver–Burk plot results indicated that kaempferol was a competitive xanthine oxidase inhibitor; the other flavonoids were all anticompetitive inhibitors. Four flavonoids—rutin, quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin—were screened as superoxide anion radical scavengers by LC–MS. The results demonstrate that the method for screening and evaluation of superoxide anion radical scavenger and xanthine oxidase inhibitor from a complex mixture system is feasible and efficient.

In this work, we developed and validated the specific, sensitive and simple LC–MS/MS method for quantification of eslicarbazepine in human plasma. The analyte samples were prepared through a simple one-step protein precipitation method by acetonitrile . The chromatographic separation was operated on an economical Hanbon ODS-2 C18 column (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 10 μm) with isocratic elution using 10 mM ammonium acetate containing 0.01% formic acid and acetonitrile (72:28, v/v) as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The mass quantification was carried on the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of the transitions of m / z 255.1 → 194.1 for eslicarbazepine and m / z 446.1 → 321.1 for glipizide (the internal standard), respectively. The established method was validated with acceptable specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, extraction recovery, matrix effect and stability in accordance with FDA regulations. At last, the validated method was successfully applied to determination of eslicarbazepine in human plasma obtained from clinical study.

A simple, rapid, and efficient liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method, operated in electrospray ionization and quadrupole linear ion trap modes, has been developed for the identification and structural characterization of aflatoxins in peanuts and its derivative products or bean sauce. Samples (5 g) were extracted with acetonitrile/water/formic acid (79:20:1, v/v). After centrifugation and dilution, the extracts were separated on a C18 analytical column by gradient elution (acetonitrile/0.2% formic acid) and analyzed by UPLC–MS/MS. External calibration was used for qualification. The developed multiple reaction monitoring–information-dependent acquisition–enhanced product ion method enabled quantification and confirmation of the analytes in a single run. Enhanced product ion mode was used for qualitative analysis, while multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for quantitative analysis. An in-house library was constructed for identification. Calibration curves showed good linearity with correlation coefficients (r) higher than 0.994. Limits of detection were determined to be below 0.26 µg kg−1 for most analytes. The recoveries for those substances were in the acceptable range of 80.2%–119.1%. A new LC–MS3 method was established for further confirmation. One pickled pepper peanut was found to contain aflatoxins B1, B2, and G1 with contents of 90.93, 26.64, and 1.92 µg kg−1, respectively.

Heart failure (HF) is one of the most serious health problems worldwide. A new positive inotropic compound, an isonicotinylhydrazide derivative (AF-HF001) was designed recently. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of the target analyte in mouse plasma. Samples were prepared by one step precipitation with ethyl acetate and stored in acetonitrile. Chromatographic analysis was carried out on a Hypersil Gold C 18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 3 μm) with a gradient mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.1% aqueous formic acid. The analyte was detected by selective reaction monitoring (SRM) mode with target quantitative ion pair of m/z 292.1 → 148.2, using praziquantel as the internal standard (IS) m/z 313.1 → 203.2. Good linearity ( r = 0.995) was observed over a wide concentration range. The validation of method showed acceptable recovery and precision. The method has been then applied to a very first pharmacokinetic assay of AF-HF001 in mice.

Two Senecio plants, Senecio cannabifolius Less. and its variety S. cannabifolius Less. var. integrifolius (Kiodz.) Kidam., were both used as the raw material of Feining granule, a traditional Chinese medicine product for treating respiratory diseases. In this study, the chemical profiles of these two plants were investigated and compared by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). A total number of 83 constituents, including 55 organic acids, 11 flavonoids, 4 alkaloids, 3 terpenes and 10 other types of compounds, were characterized. The results indicated that the levels of most flavonoids were higher in S. cannabifolius than in S. cannabifolius var. integrifolius , however, the levels of hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) were higher in S. cannabifolius var. integrifolius than in S. cannabifolius . Fifteen constituents were evaluated on lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induced RAW 264.7 cells, and eleven of them showed inhibition effect against nitric oxide (NO) production. Finally, the levels of ten major constituents (including seven anti-inflammatory active ones) and two PAs in Feining granule from two Senecio plants were determined and compared by the LC–UV and LC–MS methods, respectively. It was found that one organic acid (homogentisic acid) and two PAs (seneciphylline and senecionine) had higher contents in the preparation of S. cannabifolius var. integrifolius than in that of S. cannabifolius , however, the situations were inverse for the levels of four organic acids and flavonoids (chlorogenic acid, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, and isochlorogenic acid B). Based on the above results, S. cannabifolius might be a better raw material for Feining granule than S. cannabifolius var. integrifolius , because it contained more anti-inflammatory constituents and less hepatotoxic PAs than the latter. However, more pharmacological evaluations should be carried out to support the selection. The results in this study were helpful for the quality control of Feining granule.

The distorted and unique expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer makes them an attractive source of biomarker. There is much evidence indicating that a panel of miRNAs, termed “miRNA fingerprints”, is more specific and informative than an individual miRNA as biomarker. Thus, multiplex assays for simultaneous quantification of multiple miRNAs could be more potent in clinical practice. However, current available assays normally require pre-enrichment, amplification and labeling steps, and most of them are semi-quantitative or lack of multiplexing capability. In this study, we developed a quasi-targeted proteomics assay for multiplexed miRNA quantification by a combination of DNA-peptide probes and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Specifically, the signal of target miRNAs (i.e., miR-21, miR-let7a, miR-200c, miR-125a and miR-15b) was converted into the mass response of reporter peptides by hybridization of miRNAs with DNA-peptide probes and subsequent tryptic digestion to release the peptides. After a careful optimization of conditions related to binding, conjugation, hybridization and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) detection, the assay was validated for each miRNA and the limit of quantification (LOQ) for all the miRNAs can achieve 1 pM. Moreover, crosstalk between DNA-peptide probes in multiplex assay was sophisticatedly evaluated. Using this quasi-targeted proteomics assay, the level of target miRNAs was determined in 3 human breast cell lines and 36 matched pairs of breast tissue samples. Finally, simplex assay and qRT-PCR were also performed for a comparison. This approach grafts the strategy of targeted proteomics into miRNA quantification and may offer a new way for multiplexed miRNA profiling.

Stress testing was carried out under acidic, alkaline, oxidative, thermal and photolytic conditions to evaluate the intrinsic stability of posaconazole injection. A total of four degradation products were detected and the drug was found to be susceptible to oxidative and thermal degradations. Three unknown degradants formed under oxidative stress condition were isolated by preparative HPLC and unambiguously elucidated by LC–TOF/MS, LC–MS/MS, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and 2D NMR techniques. Based on the spectrometric and spectroscopic information, these novel degradation products were unequivocally assigned as the N-oxides of posaconazole. Probable mechanisms for the formation of the degradants were proposed. A new and selective HPLC method was developed and validated to separate, detect and quantify all the degradants in posaconazole injection.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Arbutin is a naturally occurring glucoside extracted from plants, known for its antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibiting properties. It is widely used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. With in-depth study of arbutin, its application in disease treatment is expanding, presenting promising development prospects. However, reports on the metabolic stability, plasma protein binding rate, and pharmacokinetic properties of arbutin are scarce. Aim of the study The aim of this study is to enrich the data of metabolic stability and pharmacokinetics of arbutin through the early pre-clinical evaluation, thereby providing some experimental basis for advancing arbutin into clinical research. Materials and methods We developed an efficient and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay for determining arbutin in plasma. We investigated the metabolic and pharmacokinetic properties of arbutin through in vitro metabolism assay, cytochrome enzymes P450 (CYP450) inhibition studies, plasma protein binding rate analysis, Caco-2 cell permeability tests, and rat pharmacokinetics to understand its in vivo performance. Results In vitro studies show that arbutin is stable, albeit with some species differences. It exhibits low plasma protein binding (35.35 ± 11.03% ∼ 40.25 ± 2.47%), low lipophilicity, low permeability, short half-life (0.42 ± 0.30 h) and high oral bioavailability (65 ± 11.6%). Arbutin is primarily found in the liver and kidneys and is eliminated in the urine. It does not significantly inhibit CYP450 up to 10 μM, suggesting a low potential for drug interactions. Futhermore, preliminary toxicological experiments indicate arbutin's safety, supporting its potential as a therapeutic agent. Conclusion This study provides a comprehensive analysis the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) of arbutin, enriching our understanding of its metabolism stability and pharmacokinetics properties, It establishes a foundation for further structural optimization, pharmacological studies, and the clinical development of arbutin.

Defect engineering and heterostructure construction are important strategies to enhance the photocatalytic performance of single-phase materials. In this study, an O- and Cd-dual-defect-modified LaOCl@CdS heterojunction (Ov-L@Cdv-C) was successfully constructed. Under visible light irradiation, using the typical fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) as the target pollutant, Ov-L@Cdv-C exhibited superior photocatalytic degradation performance compared to Ov-LaOCl and Ov-L@CdS. Under optimal conditions (0.5 g/L catalyst, 0.010 g/L initial CIP concentration, pH = 5), the degradation efficiency of CIP reached 84.79 % within 150 min, significantly higher than that of Ov-LaOCl (48.73 %) and Ov-L@CdS (71.96 %). XPS and EPR characterizations confirmed the presence of abundant O and Cd dual defects in the Ov-L@Cdv-C heterojunction. ESR and free radical quenching experiments revealed that the main reactive species during the degradation process were ·O 2 − and h⁺. Based on work function calculations and built-in electric field analysis, a Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism for the Ov-L@Cdv-C dual-defect heterojunction was proposed. Furthermore, LC-MS analysis identified the degradation intermediates and proposed three possible degradation pathways. In addition, T.E.S.T. predictions indicated that the toxicity of CIP gradually decreased during the photocatalytic degradation process.

Hetrombopag (Hengqu®) is an oral nonpeptide thrombopoietin receptor agonist for the treatment of thrombocytopenia and aplastic anemia. Research on the pharmacokinetic behavior is very important, but accurate quantification of metal-sensitive hetrombopag in biological specimens is a challenging analytical problem. In view of the presence of trace metals from a variety of sources, such as chromatographic system, containers, and the mass spectrometry spray needle, which can contribute to poor peak shape, tailing, and diminished recovery of compound. To ameliorate these problems, different solvent additives, mobile phase, containers and precipitant reagents were investigated to reduce the negative effects. In the present study, a robust, selective, and sensitive liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the determination of hetrombopag in dog plasma was developed based on the dual strategies: (1) 6 % perchloric acid in acetonitrile eliminates metal ion adsorption in storage containers, and (2) 0.01 % trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the mobile phase suppresses chelation in chromatographic systems. These two solvents are essential requirements for ensuring stable analytical signals. This method employed an InfinityLab Poroshell 120 EC-C18 column (4.6 ×50 mm, 2.7 μm, Agilent) with a gradient system comprising 0.01 % trifluoroacetic acid with 10 mM ammonium formate (phase A) and a mixture of H 2 O: methanol: isopropanol (1:10:10, v/v/v) containing 0.01 % trifluoroacetic acid and 10 mM ammonium formate (phase B). The column temperature of 50℃ and the addition of isopropanol were beneficial for the separation of interfering peaks and target analyte peaks in plasma. The method exhibits excellent linearity over 3 orders of magnitude. The method achieved a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.10 ng/mL using only 50 μL of plasma, with precision (RSD ≤ 8.83 %) and accuracy (88.4–102.2 %) within acceptable limits. The method was applied to determine the plasma concentration of hetrombopag in eight male beagle dogs after each administration of three 2.5 mg hetrombopag tablets. The analytical methodology described in the present work should be useful in the future work aiming to establish a model relating metal-sensitive other compounds.

Platycodonic Radix (PR) is a key herb in traditional Chinese prescriptions for pediatric respiratory disorders. However, its intense bitterness and persistent throat astringency reduce treatment compliance. This study established a mechanism-informed taste-masking strategy integrating chemical profiling, sensory evaluation, and formulation optimization. PR sensory characteristics were first quantified using human panels and an electronic tongue. Subsequently, PR water extracts were characterized by non-targeted profiling based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Putative bitter constituents were further screened using BitterX-assisted TAS2R molecular docking. The optimized formulation was then validated in two representative pediatric formulas containing the classical “PR- Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.” herb pair. LC-MS tentatively identified 308 compounds in PR decoctions, mainly carbohydrates and glycosides. Docking results indicated that platycodigenin, polygalacic acid, lactone-type platycodins, luteolin, and lignans show high affinity for human bitter taste receptors TAS2R14, TAS2R44, and TAS2R47, confirming a multi-component basis for PR bitterness. Among the excipients tested, 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and xylitol were most effective. Mechanistically, HP-β-CD primarily suppressed residual bitterness and astringency, whereas xylitol improved initial mouthfeel. An optimized combination of 6.5 % HP-β-CD plus 10 % xylitol (w/w relative to PR) successfully transformed PR decoctions from “difficult to accept” to “sweet with no lingering bitterness”, a shift corroborated by electronic tongue DFA plots. This strategy improved palatability in two representative pediatric formulas without altering the herbal composition. These findings demonstrate that 6.5 % HP-β-CD plus 10 % xylitol effectively alleviates both initial bitterness and throat irritation, offering a practical, non-destructive solution to enhance pediatric medication adherence in traditional phytotherapy.
