(HVO) ameliorates OVA-induced allergic asthma via inhibiting PI3K/Akt/JNK/P38 signaling pathway and maintaining airway barrier integrity. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 334:118568. [PMID: 38996949 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Hyssopus cuspidatus Boriss., a classic Uyghur medicine, is used to treat inflammatory lung diseases such as asthma. But the therapeutic effect and mechanism of the volatile oil of Hyssopus cuspidatus Boriss.(HVO) in asthma therapy remain unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY We aim to characterize the constituents of HVO, investigate the therapeutic effect in OVA-induced allergic asthmatic mice and further explore the molecular mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we applied two-dimensional gas chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-QTOF MS) to identify the ingredients of HVO. We established OVA-induced asthmatic model to investigate the therapeutic effect of HVO. To further explore the potential molecular pathways, we used network pharmacology approach to perform GO and KEGG pathways enrichment, and then built an ingredient-target-pathway network to identify key molecular pathways. Finally, LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and OVA-induced asthmatic model were used to validate the potential signaling pathways. RESULTS GC × GC-QTOF MS analysis revealed the presence of 123 compounds of HVO. The sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes are the main constituents. The in vivo study indicated that HVO suppressed OVA-induced eosinophilic infiltration in lung tissues, inhibited the elevation of IgE, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 levels, downregulated the expressions of phosphorylated PI3K, Akt, JNK and P38, and maintained epithelial barrier integrity via reducing the degradation of occludin, Zo-1, Zo-2, and E-cadherin. The in vitro study also revealed an inhibition of NO release and downregulation of phosphorylated PI3K, Akt, JNK and P38 levels. CONCLUSION HVO alleviates airway inflammation in OVA-induced asthmatic mice by inhibiting PI3K/Akt/JNK/P38 signaling pathway and maintaining airway barrier integrity via reducing the degradation of occludin, Zo-1, Zo-2, and E-cadherin.

Rapid orthogonal screening of forensic drugs using a compact UHPLC-PDA/SQD; a complement to GC-MS. Forensic Sci Int 2020; 318:110565. [PMID: 33214009 DOI: 10.1016/j.forsciint.2020.110565] [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: 07/01/2020] [Revised: 10/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
With the recent development of hand-held and miniature mass spectrometers, low cost and compact mass detectors have become more available and accessible for on-site and routine laboratory use. Here we present a rapid ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array/mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA/MS) method for the routine screening of a wide variety of illicit drugs using a small and cost effective single quadrupole MS (SQD) with electron spray ionization (ESI). Two libraries for common drugs of forensic interest, a PDA library including retention time (RT) and PDA spectra and a MS library including RT and [M+H]+/[M-H]-, were developed. Using a BEH phenyl column and gradient elution of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid, drugs of forensic interest were detected within 8.5min and identified based on their RT/RRT to an internal standard (Codeine-d6), UV spectrum, and/or MS spectrum/(de)protonated molecular mass. The method proved to be efficient, reproducible, and sensitive with a limit of detection (LOD) ≤0.5μg/mL for untargeted screening using PDA and MS in full scan mode and ≤0.1μg/mL for targeted screening by MS in select ion recording (SIR) mode. Improved isomer discrimination was achieved, when a second injection and separation by a charged column (CSH C18) was incorporated into the same acquisition sequence. The method was applied to 20 seized drugs with similar detection limits and identifications by GC-MS. Using an orthogonal separation technique and dual detection systems, the UHPLC-PDA/SQD method serves as an attractive technique for a direct and fast screening of illicit drugs with excellent discrimination power and detection capacity. The developed method can be an alternative screening method to GC-FID and complementary technique to GC-MS for routine forensic drug screening.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry has been the "gold standard" for drugs of abuse (DoA) analysis for many decades because of the selectivity and sensitivity it affords. Recent progress in all aspects of mass spectrometry has seen significant developments in the field of DoA analysis. Mass spectrometry is particularly well suited to address the rapidly proliferating number of very high potency, novel psychoactive substances that are causing an alarming number of fatalities worldwide. This review surveys advancements in the areas of sample preparation, gas and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, as well as the rapidly emerging field of ambient ionization mass spectrometry. We have predominantly targeted literature progress over the past ten years and present our outlook for the future. © 2020 Periodicals, Inc. Mass Spec Rev.

Abstract
After its introduction in the early 1990s, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) has evolved from a separation science research tool to the central component of many industries. Despite the maturity of the technique, some fields remain reluctant to its use in routine applications. In the case of forensic science, some constraints are the strict requirements enforced in forensic laboratories and the time and effort that must be invested for intralaboratory method validation. Concerns may also arise about whether information could be lost when transitioning to a new technique. This study reports on a method translation from conventional one-dimensional (1D) GC to GC×GC, ensuring the integrity of data as conversion is made. The GC was retrofitted with a reverse fill/flush (RFF) flow modulator and equipped with dual-channel detection using a quadrupole mass spectrometer (qMS) and a flame ionization detector (FID). The parallel use of two detectors, where qMS was applied for qualitative identification and FID for quantification, allowed higher flows and slightly wider peaks to be exploited for the analysis of a volatile organic compound (VOC) reference mixture relevant to forensic VOC profiling. Peak quality assessment and calibration curves using GC-qMS and GC×GC-qMS/FID document the transfer and adaptation of the original method without a loss in data quality. Furthermore, the preprocessing and the data analysis processing steps, including calibration and peak quality assessment for each of the three data sets, are explained in detail. This information provides benchmark data for routine laboratories that want to implement a GC×GC approach into routine workflows.

Abstract
The main objective of this work was to evaluate a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatographic (GCxGC) coupled to quadrupole mass spectrometry (qMS) method in the field of biomarker candidates' discovery. To this purpose we developed a GCxGC-qMS method suitable for the separation of organic acids and other classes of compounds with silylable polar hydrogen such as sugars, amino-acids, and vitamins. As compared to those obtained by a widely used 1D-GC method, the urinary chromatographic profiles performed by the proposed 2D-GC method exhibit higher resolution and sensitivity, leading to the detection of up to 92 additional compounds in some urine samples including some well-known biomarkers. In order to validate the proposed method we focused on three metabolites of interest with various functional groups and polarities including CH3-malonic acid (MMA: biomarker of methylmalonic acidemia), 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaric acid (3-OHMGA: biomarker of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acidemia), and phenylpiruvic acid (PhPA: marker of phenylketonuria). While these three metabolites can be considered as representative of organic acids classically determined by 1D-GC, they cannot be representative of new detected metabolites. Thus, we also focused on quinolic acid (QUIN), taken as an example of biomarker not detected at basal levels with the classical 1D GC-qMS method. In order to obtain sufficient recoveries for all tested compounds, we developed a sample preparation protocol including a step of urea removal followed by two extraction steps using two solvents of different polarity and selectivity. Recoveries with the proposed method reached more than 80% for all targeted compounds and the linearity was satisfactory up to 50μmol/L. The CVs of the within-run and within-laboratory precisions were less than 8% for all tested compounds. The limits of quantification (LOQs) were 0.6μmol/L for MMA, 0.4μmol/L for 3-OHMGA, 0.7μmol/L for PhPA, and 1μmol/L for QUIN. The LOQs of these metabolites obtained by a classical GC-MS method under the same chromatographic conditions were 5μmol/L for MMA, 4μmol/L for 3-OHMGA, 6μmol/L for PhPA while QUIN was below the limit of detection. As compared to 1D-GC, these results highlight the enhanced detectability of urine metabolites by the 2D-GC technique. Our results also show that for each new detected compound it is necessary to develop and validate an appropriate sample preparation procedure.
