[PMID: 36808885 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202200964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023]
Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world and its incidence is expected to increase with the aging of the world's population and globalization of risk factors. Natural products and their derivatives have provided a significant number of approved anticancer drugs and the development of robust and selective screening assays for the identification of lead anticancer natural products are essential in the challenge of developing personalized targeted therapies tailored to the genetic and molecular characteristics of tumors. To this end, a ligand fishing assay is a remarkable tool to rapidly and rigorously screen complex matrices, such as plant extracts, for the isolation and identification of specific ligands that bind to relevant pharmacological targets. In this paper, we review the application of ligand fishing with cancer-related targets to screen natural product extracts for the isolation and identification of selective ligands. We provide critical analysis of the system configurations, targets, and key phytochemical classes related to the field of anticancer research. Based on the data collected, ligand fishing emerges as a robust and powerful screening system for the rapid discovery of new anticancer drugs from natural resources. It is currently an underexplored strategy according to its considerable potential.

Abstract
A highly sensitive method was developed for simultaneously separating and identifying multiple compounds in radix curcumae. The determination of these compounds was achieved by combining supercritical fluid chromatography with drift tube ion mobility quadrupole time-of-flight MS. Related parameters were optimized: the RX-SIL column was used as the stationary phase, methanol was selected as the organic modifier, back pressure was 120 bar, back temperature was 60°C, the mobile phase flow rate was 1.75 mL/min, the makeup solvent was 0.2% formic acid/methanol with a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. Under optimal conditions, multipolar compounds were separated. Furthermore, these compounds were identified by the values of collision sectional areas. The established method was verified by related parameters and exhibited good linearity, sensitivity, precision and accuracy. It could be extended to analyze other curcuminoids and sesquiterpenoids in natural products.

Abstract
Chromatography is an important branch of analytical chemistry that focuses on the separation and analysis of complex structures. Following more than 100 years of development and improvement, chromatography theory and technology have gradually become sophisticated. It has become a coalition of science, technology, and art. Recently, chromatography has been successfully used in combination with mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and atomic emission spectroscopy. Chromatography and the combination with other techniques has significantly improved the analysis of complex systems, such as the environment, food, petrochemicals, biological specimens, and medicine. As one of the oldest healing systems, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has served to maintain the health of people in China and worldwide for thousands of years. Therefore, it has become a core representative of traditional Chinese culture. In the past two years, TCM has been widely used to treat COVID-19, especially in patients with mild symptoms. Recently, Chinese government emphasized the inheritance and innovation of TCM and stepped up efforts to promote its modernization. TCM includes herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, massage, food therapy, and physical exercise, such as Tai Chi. In most cases, the patients are administered a mixture of TCM formulas containing more than two herbal medicines, resulting in a highly complicated compound mixture. There is no doubt that long-term clinical practices have demonstrated the safety and therapeutic effect of TCM. However, the compound mixture must be simplified to identify the active compounds. This is mainly because of the existence of carcinogenic compounds, pesticides, and heavy metal residues introduced through plantation and production processes. Moreover, enzymes within the human system generate further new compounds in response to the entry of the TCM containing thousands of components. Consequently, the complex TCM and organism systems interact with each other, constituting a giant complex drug-organism system. The analysis of this giant complex system is acknowledged as a key aspect in the modernization process of TCM. In the last 20 years, many studies have been conducted to screen and identify effective compounds in TCM. These effective compounds can be either the original compounds or new metabolic components generated in vivo. All these efforts are aimed at simplifying the components of TCM and elucidating the therapeutic mechanism. It is well known that chromatography can provide technical support for complex systems owing to its unique advantage of outstanding separation and analysis capabilities. Therefore, chromatography and its combination with other technologies have become mainstream technologies for promoting the compilation of molecular structure, information, digitalization, and modernization of TCM. This paper reviews the research and application of chromatography and combination technologies in a giant complex TCM formula-organism system. Furthermore, the authors briefly introduce and summarize the understanding, research ideas, and activities of the authors' team on the modernization of TCM. "Liang Guanxi" and "He strategy" are proposed as novel strategies for studying the giant complex drug-organism system. A distinguished technology integrated with mathematical model of causal relation, combined receptor chromatography, identification of chemical molecular structure and evaluating of pharmacological activities was established. It was successfully employed to determine the core effector-response substances of "Liang Guanxi" herb pairs in a giant complex drug-organism system. Subsequently, utilizing the proposed technology of Combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine Molecular Chemistry, the author's team designed and developed four series of innovative drugs. Inspired by the hundred years of chromatography history and thousands of years of TCM culture, the future development of chromatographic technology is expected. Furthermore, the mechanisms of TCM in medical healthcare, prevention, and treatment of diseases are likely be explained through chromatography, leading to a new strategy to realize the molecularization and digitalization of TCM, which is beneficial to the development of original new drugs.

Rapid screening of bioactive compound in Sanzi Yangqin Decoction and investigating of binding mechanism by immobilized β 2-adrenogic receptor chromatography coupled with molecular docking.

[PMID: 33601158 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2021.113957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 01/09/2021] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Screening bioactive compounds from traditional Chinese medicines plays pivotal role in preventing and curing diseases. Sanzi Yangqin Decoction (SYD) is a commonly used prescription for the treatment of cough, asthma and some other respiratory diseases for hundreds of years in practice. This reminds us that there may exist some bioactive compounds strongly binding with the recognized receptors mediating these diseases like β2-adrenegic receptor (β2-AR). Therefore, this work intends to screen bioactive compounds from SYD and revealed the binding mechanism by immobilized β2-AR chromatography and molecular docking. Taking advantages of a 3-high based enzymatic trans-methylation reaction (high speed, high specificity and high activity), the immobilization of β2-AR was successfully achieved. Representative chromatographic peaks of SYD on the immobilized β2-AR column was collected and recognized as rosmarinic acid and sinapine thiocyanate. Tension changes of the trachea ring showed that the two compounds were in a concentration-dependent manner when exerting their effects and the concentration ranges were 10-9-10-4 mol/L and 10-12-10-7 mol/L, respectively. Molecular docking revealed Ser203, Ser204, Ser207, Tyr316 and Asn312 were the main residues for the two compounds to bind with β2-AR. We concluded that the proposed method is becoming an alternative in rapid recognizing bioactive compounds from complex matrix.

Abstract
Natural products have provided numerous lead compounds for drug discovery. However, the traditional analytical methods cannot detect most of these active components, especially at their usual low concentrations, from complex natural products. Herein, we reviewed the recent technological advances (2015–2019) related to the separation and screening bioactive components from natural resources, especially the emerging screening methods based on the bioaffinity techniques, including biological chromatography, affinity electrophoresis, affinity mass spectroscopy, and the latest magnetic and optical methods. These screening methods are uniquely advanced compared to other traditional methods, and they can fish out the active components from complex natural products because of the affinity between target and components, without tedious separation works. Therefore, these new tools can reduce the time and cost of the drug discovery process and accelerate the development of more effective and better-targeted therapeutic agents.

Abstract
A simple, efficient, and rapid sample preparation method based on aeration-assisted homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction was developed for determination of curcumin in food samples by high-performance liquid chromatography. The centrifuge step has been eliminated in this procedure. The effects of some variables, such as pH, volume of extraction solvent, extraction time, and salt effect, were studied through a Box-Behnken design method. Under the optimum conditions, calibration curves of curcumin were linear in the range of 0.08-4000 μg/mL with R2 = 0.997. Limit of detection and relative standard deviation were 0.019 μg/mL and 3.01%, respectively. The preconcentration factor achieved was 166. The proposed method was successfully applied to determination of curcumin in various food samples.

Abstract
This study proposed a new ballpoint connector-protected salt-oil-salt liquid phase microextraction for extraction and enrichment of trace rhein and chrysophanol in rhubarb prior to determination of the analytes by high performance liquid chromatography. In this study, a handy ballpoint connector (between ballpoint tip and ink chamber) was used as extraction device, in which its cavity was filled with n-octanol, and the bare n-octanol in its two opening ends was covered with a thin layer of sodium chloride film. The design subtly assembled salt film onto ballpoint connector for extraction and enrichment, which greatly improved the enrichment factors of the target analytes. Moreover, the novel procedure and its extraction mechanism were described and analyzed, and several crucial parameters reflecting the extraction effect were investigated and optimized. Under optimum conditions, high enrichment factors (247 and 127), good linearities with r ≥ 0.9998, limits of detection (0.6-1.1 ng/mL), relative standard deviations of intra- and interday (2.2-8.8% and 4.3-8.9%), and average recoveries (97.6-98.1%), were obtained, respectively. The proposed method can not only eliminate the negative effects from viscosity and ion strength at high salt concentration of sample phase, but also make salting-out effect be focused on small area so as to maximize the extraction effect.

Abstract
Salviae miltiorrhizae radix et rhizoma is a traditional herbal medicine with anti-cancer activities. In this work, a trace peak enrichment approach combined with a cell proliferation assay was applied for screening cancer cell proliferation inhibitors from the extract of S. miltiorrhiza. A set of 123 peak fractions were prepared, and by comprehensive screening, 21 tanshinones were screened out as cancer cell proliferation inhibitors and their structures were tentatively identified by liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The inhibitory activities of nine available screened tanshinones were validated, with their IC50 values ranging from 0.63 to 28.40 μM, indicating their activities strongly inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. This study presents tanshinones that are potential cancer cell proliferation inhibitors and may explain the anti-cancer activity of S. miltiorrhiza.

[PMID: 29929137 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2018.05.096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2017] [Revised: 05/30/2018] [Accepted: 05/31/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
The existing form of an ionizable organic compound can simultaneously affect its soil adsorption and plant bioactivity. In this experiment, the adsorption and bioactivity of two weak acid herbicides (WAHs), imazethapyr and 2,4-D, were studied to explore the predominant mechanism by which the soil pH and the addition of biochar can influence the phytotoxicity of WAHs in soil. Then, the WAH concentration extracted by hollow fiber-based liquid-phase microextraction (CHF-LPME), the in situ pore water concentration (CIPW) and the added concentration (CAC) were employed to estimate the phytotoxicity. The results showed that with increased pH from 5.5 to 8.5, the phytotoxicity of the WAHs to rice increased about 1-fold in the soil, but decreased in aqueous solutions, the IC50 values for imazethapyr and 2,4-D at pH 5.0 were 3- and 2-fold higher than that at pH 8.0. In addition, the soil adsorption decreased, indicating that the adsorption process was the dominant factor for the variation of the phytotoxicity of the WAHs in the tested soil instead of the decreasing bioactivity. The concentration that inhibits plant growth by 50% (IC50) calculated by the CAC in different pH and biochar soils ranged from 0.619 to 3.826 mg/kg for imazethapyr and 1.871-72.83 mg/kg for 2,4-D. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the IC50 values reached 65.61% for imazethapyr and 130.0% for 2,4-D. However, when IC50 was calculated by CIPW and CHF-LPME, the CVs of the IC50 values decreased to 23.51% and 36.23% for imazethapyr and 40.21% and 50.93% for 2,4-D, respectively. These results suggested that CIPW and CHF-LPME may be more appropriate than CAC for estimating the phytotoxicity of WAHs.

Abstract
For lead compound discovery from natural products, hollow fiber cell fishing with chromatographic analysis is a newly developed method. In this study, an adsorbed hollow fiber-based biological fingerprinting method was firstly developed to discover potential platelet aggregation inhibitors from Danshen-Honghua decoction. Platelets were seeded on the fiber and their survival rate was tested. Results indicated that more than 92% platelets survived during the whole operation process. Ranitidine and tirofiban were used as positive and negative control respectively to verify the reliability of the presented approach. The main variables such as amount of extract and stirring time that affect the adsorbed hollow fiber-based biological fingerprinting process were optimized, and the repeatability of this method was also investigated. Finally, 12 potential active compounds in Danshen-Honghua decoction were successfully detected using the established approach and structures for nine of them were tentatively identified by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry analysis. In addition, the in vitro platelet aggregation inhibition test was carried out for five of the nine hit compounds, and three active components, namely, lithospermic acid, salvianolic acid A, and salvianolic acid B were confirmed. These results proved that the proposed method could be an effective approach for screening platelet inhibitors from plant extracts.

Abstract
An electrospun polyethylene terephthalate/graphene oxide nanofibrous mat was fabricated and used as an effective and novel membrane for the solid-phase extraction of tamoxifen in human blood plasma samples before detection by high-performance liquid chromatography. The membrane was characterized by some identification techniques, such as FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The effective variables of the extraction procedure including desorption condition (type and volume of the eluent), adsorbent dose, pH of sample solution, salt concentration, and sample loading time were investigated and their optimum values were obtained using one factor at a time methodology. Under the optimized conditions, the results showed wide linear concentration range of 5-2000 ng/mL with a determination coefficient of 0.992. The limits of detection and limits of quantification were 1.3 and 5.0 ng/mL, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precisions were 3.4 and 4.6%, respectively. The method was successfully applied to determination of tamoxifen in the blood plasma samples and satisfactory relative recoveries (92.6-98.3 %) were achieved.
