In the presented work, metal-organic framework (MOF) material MIL-101(Cr) (MIL, Matérial Institute Lavoisier) was used as a sorbent for vortex assisted dispersive micro-solid-phase extraction (VA-D-μ-SPE) of trace amount of metronidazole (MNZ), ronidazole (RNZ), secnidazole (SNZ), dimetridazole (DMZ), tinidazole (TNZ), and ornidazole (ONZ) in different environmental water samples. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to quantify the target analytes. The extraction conditions, including type of sorbents, amount of MIL-101(Cr), solution pH, extraction method, extraction time, effect of salt, and elution conditions were investigated. Upon the optimal conditions, the developed method showed an excellent extraction performance with the average recovery ranging from 75.2 to 98.8 %. Good sensitivity levels were achieved with the detection limits of 0.03∼0.06 μg/L and the quantitation limits of 0.09∼0.20 μg/L. The linear ranges were varied from 0.1 to 20 for SNZ and ONZ and from 0.2 to 40 μg/L for MNZ, RNZ, DMZ, and TNZ ( r
2 > 0.992), and repeatability of the method was satisfactory with the relative standard deviations (RSD) <8 %. Ultimately, the applicability of the method was successfully confirmed by the extraction and determination of 5-nitroimidazoles (5-NDZs) in 12 real water samples, showing the positive findings of MNZ and TNZ ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 μg/L. Furthermore, molecular docking was applied to explain the molecular interactions and free binding energies between MIL-101(Cr) and 5-NDZs, providing a deep insight into the adsorption mechanism. The proposed method exhibited the advantages of simplicity, rapidly, less solvent consumption, ease of operation, higher sensitivity, and lower matrix effect.

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.

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.

A deep understanding upon the relation between anthocyanin extraction performance and physicochemical properties of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) was obtained, and a high-efficiency NADES (Choline chloride-Oxalic acid (ChOa)) was selected and coupled with pulse-ultrasonication for anthocyanin extraction from blueberry pomace . Response surface methodology was adopted to analyzed the significant factors’ influence, interactive effects on extraction yield and optimize the extraction conditions. The theoretical optimal conditions with highest yield of total anthocyanins content (TAC) were 3.2 min of ultrasonic time, 325 W of ultrasonic power, 349.15 K of temperature, 60 mL/g of solvent to solid ratio, under which the experimental TAC value (24.27 ± 0.05 mg C3GE/g DW) was highly correlated with theoretical result (24.28 mg C3GE/g DW). Multi-stability protective effect of ChOa on anthocyanin over acidified ethanol was revealed by stability assays in high temperature, varying pH and light exposure conditions. FT-IR and DSC analysis further characterized the influence of ChOa over acidic ethanol on typical anthocyanins functional groups and thermal behavior of anthocyanin extracts. UPLC-Triple-TOF/MS analysis identified 10 anthocyanins that mainly consisted of delphinidin , petunidin , and malvidin compounds. Overall, this study provided a green, high-efficiency and multi-stability protective strategy for the recovery of anthocyanins from plant source by-products.

Inflammation is a well-known risk factor for tumor development. Intervening in chronic inflammation may be an effective approach to inhibit the progression of ulcerative colitis (UC) to colitis-associated colon cancer (CAC). Sophora japonica is a medicinal and food plant commonly used to treat hemorrhoids, bleeding, and inflammation, symptoms that coincide with those of patients with CAC. However, studies on using Sophora japonica to treat CAC are scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects of Sophora japonica extract (SJE) using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced UC and azoxymethane (AOM)/DSS-induced CAC models. Furthermore, we employed ultraperformance liquid chromatography–quadrupole time-of-flight–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–QTOF–MS/MS) technology to explore the metabolomics mechanism through which SJE inhibited the progression of UC to CAC. The results demonstrated that SJE significantly inhibited UC and CAC and alleviated symptoms such as bloody stools, colon shortening, inflammation, and intestinal tissue damage in model mice. Further, 57 differential metabolites were identified by UPLC–QTOF–MS/MS, which were composed mainly of lipids (fatty acids, glycerophospholipids, sterol lipids, pregnenolone lipids, etc.) and peptides (amino acids). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis suggested that SJE might inhibit the progression of UC to CAC by regulating lipid metabolic pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism, primary bile acid biosynthesis, and linoleic acid metabolism. This study, for the first time, substantiated the inhibitory effect of SJE on CAC. Employing metabolomics techniques, the research delved into the potential pathways through which SJE may exert its inhibitory effects on CAC by suppressing the progression of UC. These findings contribute scientific evidence to the application of Sophora japonica in functional foods and the development of natural drugs for the prevention and treatment of UC and CAC.

Background Mild and systematically improving multiple metabolic disorders was a focused view for Compound Danshen Dripping Pills playing synergistic effects through multiple components and multiple targets. The difference in overall therapeutic effects and endogenous metabolic regulation between short- and long-term administration was still unclear. Purpose This study aimed to explore the difference in endogenous metabolic regulation between short- and long-term Compound Danshen Dripping Pills (CDDP) administration against acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods The model of AMI was induced by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery . The cardiac protection effects of CDDP were investigated by echocardiography , 1- or 2-week were defined as short- and long-term based on desirable efficacy variability. The entire metabolic changes between short- and long-term administration of CDDP were profiled by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. In addition, the metabolic regulatory network of CDDP administration against myocardial infarction rats was also compared with those of a typical chemical drug isosorbide 5-mononitrate (ISMN). Results After 1- or 2-week continuous oral administration , CDDP could significantly alleviate AMI-induced cardiac dysfunction. By using LC-MS-based metabolomics analyses, we systematically investigated the metabolic profiles of plasma and heart tissue samples at fixed exposure time-points (2 h, 24 h) from AMI rats with CDDP treatment . Most interestingly, global endogenous metabolic changes were observed in cardiac samples collected at different stages post consecutive CDDP administration, fluctuating at 2 and 24 h after 1 week but stabilizing after 2 weeks. The disrupted metabolic pathways such as glycerophospholipid , amino acids , fatty acids, and arachidonic acid metabolism were reconstructed after both short- and long-term CDDP treatment, while taurine and hypotaurine metabolism and purine metabolism contributed to the whole efficacy after long-term CDDP administration. Conclusion Long-term CDDP treatment plays prolonged and stable efficacy against AMI compared with short-term treatment by specifically regulating purine and taurine and hypotaurine metabolism and systematically redressing metabolic disorders.
