Antibiotic residues in honey cause public health problems. To analyze multi-antibiotic residues in honey, a modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) extraction method coupled with ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed for simultaneous quantification of 70 antibiotic residues in honey. Matrix-matched calibrations indicated the correlation coefficients were higher than 0.998. The recovery was in a range of 70.5%-119.8% with intra-day relative standard deviation (RSD) of ≤ 10.0% and inter-day RSD of ≤ 13.9%. The limits of detection ranged between 0.050 μg/kg and 1.02 μg/kg. Limits of quantification was 0.17 μg/kg to 3.40 μg/kg. The matrix effects were negligible in 71.4% of compounds and moderately in 24.3% of compounds. Methacycline, oxytetracycline, tetracycline and its metabolite 4-tetracycline residues were detected in the tested samples. Validation parameters were acceptable and were in line with the Codex guidelines. This method was effective for detecting multi-antibiotic residues in honey.

Antioxidant molecules in honey contributed to various biological effects, but antioxidant components markers in honey are required to be investigated further. Phenolic compounds, flavonoids and free amino acids were analyzed using UPLC-MS/MS and HPLC-FLD from 39 honey samples, in which fennel honey was firstly investigated. Based on the quantitative composition-activity relationship, the cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) assay of various honeys is closely related with the interaction of some phenolic compounds (isoferulic acid, 3,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy benzoic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, gallic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, p -coumaric acid, salicylic acid), flavonoids (isosakuranetin, sakuranetin, pinocembrin, vitexin, taxifolin, galangin, luteolin, chrysin) and free amino acids (Tyr, Gly, Ile, Glu, Val, Phe, Leu, Asp, His, Pro, Ala). The results would be beneficial for the understanding of the nutritional values, exploitation and utilization of honeys with different floral origins, further contributable to the market development and consumption choice of honey.

Paeoniflorin (Pae), a water-soluble monoterpene glucoside, is the main effective component of total glucoside of paeony (TGP). Pae has a very low bioavailability (3.6%). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sex, food and disease status on the pharmacokinetics of paeoniflorin-6′-O-benzene sulfonate (acylated derivative of Pae, CP-25) and its primary metabolite (Pae, M1) after oral administration in the plasma of rats. A specific and sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) assay for rapid determination of CP-25 and Pae in rat plasma was developed and validated for the first time. The assay was validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery, matrix effects and stability. We found that CP-25 had a more extensive distribution in females than that in males, but no differences in M1 levels were found. Food intake could also increase the extent of absorption and decrease the rate of clearance for CP-25 and M1 after oral administration in rats. The disease status would decrease the absorption of CP-25 in rats. Comparing single-doing and multiple-dosing in an adjuvant arthritis (AA) model, the absorption of CP-25 and M1 improved with increasing dosage. Furthermore, during the period of multiple-dosing, CP-25 exhibited a better anti-inflammatory effect in AA rats and no obvious side effects occurred during the dosing period. Our findings provide the basis, and some guidelines, for further studies into the clinical application of CP-25.

Analysing monosaccharide composition is an essential step in deciphering polysaccharide structures. However, it presents significant challenges due to the pronounced hydrophilicity and the vast array of monosaccharide isomers. Gas/liquid chromatography, coupled with an aldononitrile acetate derivatisation, has been widely used for monosaccharide composition analysis. However, it poses considerable difficulties in simultaneously determining the D/L configurations of these monosaccharides. In this study, a novel method that can simultaneously determine the composition of polysaccharides and their D/L configuration based on L-cysteine methyl ester derivatisation (CMED) and ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) is developed for the comprehensive analysis of monosaccharide types. This method enables the simultaneous characterization of aldoses, ketoses, alditols, and uronic acids. Furthermore, the reaction mechanisms and by-products were meticulously analysed, offering a robust theoretical basis for this novel methodology. Additionally, the developed method was employed to characterize the monosaccharide composition for six plant polysaccharides. Ultimately, the findings demonstrated that the proposed method is effective for confirming monosaccharide composition, encompassing both structural types and absolute configurations.

In this work, a variety of highly porous metal organic framework/chitosan (MOF/CS) foams (MIL-53(Al)/CS, MIL-53(Fe)/CS, MIL-101(Cr)/CS, MIL-101(Fe)/CS, UiO-66(Zr)/CS, and MIL-100(Fe)/CS) were designed and prepared by an ice-templating process. The introduction of MOFs made these foams achieve excellent inherent characters in terms of strength, stability, and adsorption ability. The MOFs incorporated in the foams retained their unique properties. Additionally, the foams were durable and their adsorption abilities had only a little loss after being recycled several times. MIL-53(Al)/CS foam was selected as an adsorbent candidate to develop an ultrasound-assisted solid-phase extraction (UA-SPE) method for the first time, owing to its particularly noteworthy performance among the prepared MOF/CS foams. The method was then successfully applied to extract trace amount of five parabens (methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, benzylparaben) in water samples, followed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) detection. Several experimental parameters were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the linear ranges were 0.5–200 μg/L with regression coefficients ( r 2 ) from 0.9948 to 0.9983. The method detection limits were between 0.09 and 0.45 μg/L. The recoveries ranged from 78.75 to 102.1% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) < 7.4%. Furthermore, the molecular interactions and free binding energies between MOFs and parabens were calculated by means of molecular docking to explain the adsorption mechanism deeply. The novel method proposed in this work exhibited many benefits such as easy operation, high enrichment efficiency, less solvent consuming, and higher sensitivity. Such a strategy would expand the application prospect of MOFs in sample pretreatment.

Perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which posed various hazards to organisms, including reproductive, developmental, neurological, and immunological toxicity. Consequently, developing an analytical method aimed at achieving highly sensitive detection of trace amounts of PFCAs in complex samples is clearly of great significance. Herein, the Fluorine-functionalized covalent organic framework (F-COF) was synthesized at ambient temperature, which has the advantages of high specific surface area (1297.7 m 2 g -1 ), suitable selective adsorption pore size and good stability. Based on the multiple effects of suitable pore size, fluorine-fluorine interactions and hydrophobic interactions, F-COF exhibited high adsorption performance towards PFCAs. Accordingly, the method of F-COF-based dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) coupled with UPLC-MS/MS was developed for the quantitative analysis of 5 PFCAs in complex biological samples. The results showed that the good linearity for the 5 PFCAs within the concentration ranges of 0.4 to 10 4 ng L -1 , with correlation coefficients (r) all greater than 0.9993. The enrichment factors (EFs) ranged from 11.4 to 22.3 folds, and the limits of detection (LODs) were 0.11 to 0.17 ng L -1 . The established method provided a powerful tool for the enrichment and detection of PFCAs in mice serum and tissue. F-COF holds promising application prospects as a solid-phase extraction material for efficient enrichment separation and detection of PFCAs.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Gouty arthritis (GA) is a disease caused by the malfunction of purine and/or uric acid metabolism. Tongzhi Surunjing Pills (TZSRJP), a traditional Chinese medicine formula derived from the ancient Uyghur book “Karzhibadin Kadeer”, is used clinically to treat GA, which still needs more research in its complex regulatory mechanisms. Aim of study The aim of the study was to elucidate the main potential active components of TZSRJP and the mechanism by which it treated GA. Methods We used network pharmacology and molecular docking to predict possible active ingredients and targets, and UPLC-MS to identify the content of key components, followed by transcriptomics to analyze targets of action and also demonstrated our hypothesis in rats. Results Network pharmacology showed that TZSRJP Contained 120 active components and 934 potential targets. 9 of major active ingredients, such as gallic acid, colchicine, senoside A, and so on were identified and quantified by UPLC-MS. KEGG predicted the therapeutic effects mainly through NOD-like receptor pathway, Toll-like receptor pathway, and NF-κB pathway; molecular docking showed that its main active ingredients had high affinity with inflammation-related proteins such as NLRP3, IL-1β, and TNF. Transcriptomics also verified that the therapeutic effects were mainly carried out through inflammatory pathways. In vivo experiments verified the efficacy of TZSRJP in the treatment of GA and reduced the expression of proteins and genes related to the NLRP3 pathway. Therefore, TZSRJP alleviates GA development through the NLRP3 pathway, and the main components contain colchicine, gallic acid, and so on.

In this work, computational and experimental methods were used to study the adsorption of estrogens and glucocorticoids on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Computer-aided molecular simulation was applied to predict the adsorption of eight analytes on four MOFs (MIL-101(Cr), MIL-100(Fe), MIL-53(Al), and UiO-66(Zr)) by examining molecular interactions and calculating free binding energies. Subsequently, the four water-stable MOFs were synthesized and evaluated as adsorbents for the target hormones in aqueous solution. As the MOF exhibiting the highest adsorption capacity in both computations and experiments, MIL-53(Al) was chosen as a sorbent to develop a dispersive micro-solid-phase extraction procedure coupled to ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of the target analytes in water and human urine samples. Experimental parameters affecting the extraction recoveries, including pH, ionic strength , MIL-53(Al) amount, extraction time, desorption time, and desorption solvent, were optimized. The optimized method provided a linear range of 0.005025–368.6 μg/L with good correlation coefficients (0.9982 ≤ r 2 ≤ 0.9992), and limits of detection (S/N = 3) and quantification (S/N = 10) of 0.0015–1.0 μg/L and 0.005–1.8 μg/L, respectively. The analyte recoveries were in the range of 80.6–98.4% in water samples and 88.4–93.2% in urine samples. Furthermore, MIL-53(Al) showed good stability over 10 extraction cycles (RSD < 10.0%). Good agreement between experimental measurements and computational results showed the potential of this approach for elucidating adsorption mechanisms and predicating extraction efficiencies for MOFs and targets, providing new directions for the development and utilization of MOFs.

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.

The prevention and control of heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA) formation to mitigate of potential risks to humans, can be achieved by targeting their precursors. In this study, the detailed roles of individual and excess component (20 common α-amino acids, creatine, creatinine, and glucose) on HAA formation in roasted beef patties were examined using UPLC-MS/MS. The results confirmed the reported classical precursors of HAAs. Some components regulated the competitive production of Norharman and Harman. Glycine (Gly) and glucose favored Norharman formation, while cysteine (Cys) and phenylalanine (Phe) for Harman. Serine (Ser) and threonine (Thr) were identified as potential precursors for IQx-type HAAs. Interestingly, methionine (Met), Gly, Thr, Cys, alanine (Ala), and Ser were revealed as more targeted underlying precursors for 1,6-DMIP and 1,5,6-TMIP, and the formation mechanism was inferred. Furthermore, Pro, Leu, His, Ile, Lys and Asp were considered as great inhibitors for HAAs.

A rapid, sensitive, and reliable ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method has been developed to simultaneously determine the major bioactive components of Xiaoyan Lidan Formula (XYLDF) in rat plasma, using sulfamethoxazole as the internal standard (IS). The seven major bioactive components are andrographolide, dehydroandrographolide, enmein, 1-methoxicabony-β-carboline, 4,5-dimethoxy-canthin-6-one, 4-methoxy-5-hydroxy-canthin-6-one, and 1-hydroxymethyl-β-carboline. After pretreating by protein precipitation with methanol, separation was performed on a UPLC C18 column using gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid at a flowing rate of 0.7 mL/min. Detection was performed on TSQ Quantum mass spectrometry set at the positive/negative ionization and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The intra- and inter-day precision were less than 9.8%, whereas the intra- and inter-day accuracy were within ± 13.4%. The method was validated and applied to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of the analytes in serum of Alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced cholestasis and control rats after oral administration of XYLDF. The results showed remarkable differences in pharmacokinetic properties of the analytes between cholestatic (model) and control groups, thereby providing essential scientific information for better understanding of mechanism of XYLDF and a reference for its clinical applications.
