Abstract
Background Bulbus Fritillariae Pallidiflorae (BFP) is a traditional Chinese medicine that has long been used to treat lung diseases, but the active components and mechanism are still unclear. Objective This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of the total alkaloid extract from BFP (BFP-TA) on cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced Beas-2B cells injury. Design The Beas-2B cells injury model was induced by 2% CSE, then the effect of BFP-TA on the levels of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) was detected according to the instructions of the T-AOC assay kit, the SOD detection kit and the MDA detection kit, and the production of ROS was detected by fluorescence microscopy. The effect of BFP-TA on Beas-2B cells apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, and the effect of BFP-TA on related protein expression was detected by western blot. Subsequently, the effect of BFP-TA on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CSE-induced Beas-2B cells was studied by transcriptomic sequencing, and the expression of DEGs was verified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Results The results showed that BFP-TA could attenuate CSE-induced oxidative damage in Beas-2B cells by elevating T-AOC and SOD levels while inhibiting ROS and MDA levels, and the mechanism was potentially related to the SIRT1/Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway. Furthermore, BFP-TA could inhibit CSE-induced apoptosis by inhibiting the protein expression of Bax, MST1 and FOXO3a, and exert anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the activation of MAPK signaling pathway. Subsequently, transcriptome analysis and qPCR validation showed that BFP-TA could alleviate inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis and lipid metabolism disorders by regulating the expression of DEGs in PPAR and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways, thereby exerting a protective effect against CSE-induced Beas-2B cell injury. Conclusion This study is the first to demonstrate that BFP-TA could exert a protective effect on CSE-induced Beas-2B cell injury by exerting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and regulate lipid metabolism disorders.

Abstract
Purpose In recent years, the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been increasing year by year, but therapeutic drugs has no breakthrough. The total alkaloid extract from Bulbus Fritillariae pallidiflorae (BFP-TA) is widely used in treating lung diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of BFP-TA in COPD mice. Methods BFP-TA was prepared by macroporous adsorbent resin, and the material basis of BFP-TA was analyzed by HPLC-ELSD and UHPLC-MS/MS. Then, the COPD mouse model was induced by cigarette smoke (CS) for 12 weeks, administered at weeks 9-12. Subsequently, the body weight, lung-body ratio, pulmonary function, histopathology, and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and oxidative stress markers in the serum of mice were determined. The expressions of related protein of EMT and MAPK signaling pathways in the lung tissues of mice were detected by Western blot. Results The alkaloid relative content of BFP-TA is 64.28%, and nine alkaloids in BFP-TA were identified and quantified by UHPLC-MS/MS. Subsequently, the animal experiment showed that BFP-TA could improve pulmonary function, and alleviate inflammatory cell infiltration, pulmonary emphysema, and collagen fiber deposition in the lung of COPD mice. Furthermore, BFP-TA could decrease the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β), MMPs (MMP-9 and MMP-12) and MDA, while increase the levels of TIMP-1 and SOD. Moreover, BFP-TA could decrease the protein expressions of collagen I, vimentin, α-SMA, MMP-9, MMP-9/TIMP-1, Bax, p-JNK/JNK, p-P38/P38, and p-ERK/ERK, while increase the level of E-cadherin. Conclusion This study is the first to demonstrate the protective effect of BFP-TA in CS-induced COPD mouse model. Furthermore, BFP-TA may improve airway remodeling by inhibiting the EMT process and potentially exert anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the MAPK signaling pathway.

Comprehensive metabolome characterization and comparison between two sources of Dragon's blood by integrating liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and chemometrics. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:1571-1587. [PMID: 38279012 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05159-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
Dragon's Blood (DB) serves as a precious Chinese medicine facilitating blood circulation and stasis dispersion. Daemonorops draco (D. draco; Qi-Lin-Jie) and Dracaena cochinchinensis (D. cochinchinenesis; Long-Xue-Jie) are two reputable plant sources for preparing DB. This work was designed to comprehensively characterize and compare the metabolome differences between D. draco and D. cochinchinenesis, by integrating liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and untargeted metabolomics analysis. Offline two-dimensional liquid chromatography/ion mobility-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (2D-LC/IM-QTOF-MS), by utilizing a powerful hybrid scan approach, was elaborated for multicomponent characterization. Configuration of an XBridge Amide column and an HSS T3 column in offline mode exhibited high orthogonality (A0 0.80) in separating the complex components in DB. Particularly, the hybrid high-definition MSE-high definition data-dependent acquisition (HDMSE-HDDDA) in both positive and negative ion modes was applied for data acquisition. Streamlined intelligent data processing facilitated by the UNIFI™ (Waters) bioinformatics platform and searching against an in-house chemical library (recording 223 known compounds) enabled efficient structural elucidation. We could characterize 285 components, including 143 from D. draco and 174 from D. cochinchinensis. Holistic comparison of the metabolomes among 21 batches of DB samples by the untargeted metabolomics workflows unveiled 43 significantly differential components. Separately, four and three components were considered as the marker compounds for identifying D. draco and D. cochinchinenesis, respectively. Conclusively, the chemical composition and metabolomic differences of two DB resources were investigated by a dimension-enhanced analytical approach, with the results being beneficial to quality control and the differentiated clinical application of DB.

Abstract
The taproot of Aconitum carmichaelii Debeaux (AC), a poisonous Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been widely used to treat joint pain, rheumatism and dysmenorrhea. Fermentation is a traditional drug processing method that reduces toxicity or increases efficacy. However, the chemical composition of AC, especially fermented AC, has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a method to characterize the chemical composition of raw and fermented AC. In this study, a structural feature-based comprehensive strategy was employed to identify the chemical components of raw and fermented AC. A highly selective method consisting of mass defect filtering (MDF), ring double bond (RDB), nitrogen rule, and feature MS fragments filtering was established using UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS. By the established method, 230 diterpene alkaloids were characterized in raw AC, including 108 amine, 68 monoester, and 54 diester diterpene alkaloids. 145 of them were potential new compounds. Totals of 466 diterpene alkaloids were identified in fermented AC, including 231 amine, 162 monoester, and 73 diester diterpene alkaloids. 397 of them were potential new compounds. Ester hydrolysis, hydroxylation, and demethylation were the major transformation pathways during fermentation. An integrated approach with highly selective based on the structural feature of analytes was established and applied to identify the chemicals in AC. The strategy showed great performance in improving the accuracy and coverage of the identification by using LC-MS.

Abstract
Arnebiae Radix, commonly known as "Zicao," can be easily confused with other compounding species, posing challenges for its clinical use. Here, we developed a comprehensive strategy to systematically characterize the diverse components across Arnebiae Radix and its three confusing species. First, an offline two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) system integrating hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) and reverse phase (RP) separations was established, enabling effective separation and detection of more trace constituents. Second, a polygonal mass defect filtering (MDF) workflow was implemented to screen target ions and generate a precursor ion list (PIL) to guide multistage mass (MSn) data acquisition. Third, a three-step characterization strategy utilizing diagnostic ions and neutral losses was developed for rapid determination of molecular formulas, structure classes, and compound identification. This approach enabled systematic characterization of Arnebiae Radix and its three confusing species, with 437 components characterized including 112 shikonins, 22 shikonfurans, 144 phenolic acids, 131 glycosides, 18 flavonoids, and 10 other compounds. Additionally, 361, 230, 340, and 328 components were identified from RZC, YZC, DZC, and ZZC, respectively, with 142 common components and 30 characteristic components that may serve as potential markers for distinguishing the four species. In summary, this is the first comprehensive characterization and comparison of the phytochemical profiles of Arnebiae Radix and its three confusing species, advancing our understanding of this herbal medicine for quality control.

Abstract
Qingjin Yiqi Granules (QJYQ) is a Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs) prescription for the patients with post-COVID-19 condition. It is essential to carry out the quality evaluation of QJYQ. A comprehensive investigation was conducted by establishing deep-learning assisted mass defect filter (deep-learning MDF) mode for qualitative analysis, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and scheduled multiple reaction monitoring method (UHPLC-sMRM) for precise quantitation to evaluate the quality of QJYQ. Firstly, a deep-learning MDF was used to classify and characterize the whole phytochemical components of QJYQ based on the mass spectrum (MS) data of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS). Secondly, the highly sensitive UHPLC-sMRM data-acquisition method was established to quantify the multi-ingredients of QJYQ. Totally, nine major types of phytochemical compounds in QJYQ were intelligently classified and 163 phytochemicals were initially identified. Furthermore, fifty components were rapidly quantified. The comprehensive evaluation strategy established in this study would provide an effective tool for accurately evaluating the quality of QJYQ as a whole.

Abstract
Euphorbia kansui is the dried root of Euphorbia kansui T. N. Liou ex T.P. Wang. Its main chemical components are diterpenoids, triterpenes, and volatile oil. In this study, an offline two-dimensional (2D) normal-phase × reversed-phase liquid chromatography method coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was established to comprehensively analyze the chemical constituents in E. kansui. A total of 240 compounds were identified from the E. kansui extract, including 218 diterpenoids (77 known, 141 new), 16 known volatile oils, and six known triterpenes. The relationship between the structural characteristics and tandem mass spectroscopy fragments of diterpenoids was further analyzed. Based on the characteristic fragment ions, 141 new diterpenoids were determined as 118 ingenane diterpenoids and 23 jatrophane diterpenoids. The newly identified diterpenoids may provide lead compounds for drug discovery, improving the medicinal value of E. kansui.

Abstract
Codonopsis pilosula (CP), a well-known food medicine homology plant, is commonly used in many countries. In our preliminary study, a series of pyrrolidine alkaloids with high MS responses were detected as characteristic absorbed constituents in rat plasma after oral administration of CP extract. However, their structures were unclear due to the presence of various isomers and the lack of reference standards. In the present study, an MS-guided targeted isolation of pyrrolidine alkaloids of CP extract was performed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF MS). For data analysis under fast data directed acquisition mode (Fast-DDA), an effective approach named characteristic fragmentation-assisted mass spectral networking was successfully applied to discover new pyrrolidine alkaloids with high MS response in CP extract. As a result, seven new pyrrolizidine alkaloids [codonopyrrolidiums C-I (3-9)], together with two known ones (1 and 2), were isolated and identified by NMR spectral analysis. Among them, codonopyrrolidium B (1), codonopyrrolidium D (4) and codonopyrrolidium E (5) were evaluated for lipid-lowering activity, and they could improve high fructose-induced lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells. In addition, the characteristic MS/MS fragmentation patterns of these pyrrolizidine alkaloids were investigated, and 17 pyrrolidine alkaloids were identified. This approach could accelerate novel natural products discovery and characterize a class of natural products with MS/MS fragmentation patterns from similar chemical scaffolds. The research also provides a chemical basis for revealingin vivo effective substances in CP.

Abstract
Dehydrocostus lactone (DL) is among the representative ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with excellent anticancer, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, an advanced strategy based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS) was integrated to comprehensively explore the metabolic fate of DL in rats. First, prior to data collection, all biological samples (plasma, urine, and feces) were concentrated and purified using solid-phase extraction (SPE) pre-treatment technology. Then, during data collection, in the full-scan (FS) data-dependent acquisition mode, FS-ddMS2 was intelligently combined with FS-parent ion list (PIL)-dynamic exclusion (DE) means for targeted monitoring and deeper capture of more low-abundance ions of interest. After data acquisition, data-mining techniques such as high-resolution extracted ion chromatograms (HREICs), multiple mass defect filters (MMDFs), diagnostic product ions (DPIs), and neutral loss fragments (NLFs) were incorporated to extensively screen and profile all the metabolites in multiple dimensions. As a result, a total of 71 metabolites of DL (parent drug included) were positively or tentatively identified. The results suggested that DL in vivo mainly underwent hydration, hydroxylation, dihydrodiolation, sulfonation, methylation, dehydrogenation, dehydration, N-acetylcysteine conjugation, cysteine conjugation, glutathione conjugation, glycine conjugation, taurine conjugation, etc. With these inferences, we successfully mapped the "stepwise radiation" metabolic network of DL in rats, where several drug metabolism clusters (DMCs) were discovered. In conclusion, not only did we provide a refined strategy for inhibiting matrix effects and fully screening major-to-trace metabolites, but also give substantial data reference for mechanism investigation, in vivo distribution visualization, and safety evaluation of DL.

Abstract
The complexity of natural ingredients and the diversity of preparations are the major obstacles to the quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). A more comprehensive characterization of herbal compounds using different types of chromatographic separation techniques and covering a diverse polarity range can help evaluate the quality of TCMs. In this study, we first proposed a comprehensive method for characterizing compounds derived from Imperatae Rhizoma by combining the complementary strengths of UPCC-QTOF-MS (ultra-performance convergence chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry) with UPLC-QTOF-MS (ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry). The method based on the UNIFI scientific platform significantly shortened the analysis time and enabled a more comprehensive characterization of known and unreported compounds. Meanwhile, a feature-based molecular network (FBMN) was established on the Global Natural Product Social (GNPS) to infer potential compounds by rapidly classifying and visualizing these components. A total of 62 compounds in Imperatae Rhizoma were jointly characterizedand classified into six types. In comparison, the UPCC-QTOF-MS technology individually characterized 17 components, including lactones, phenols, aldehydes, phenylpropanoids, and small polar organic acids. The UPLC-QTOF-MS technology characterized 16 compounds mainly phenylpropionic acids, flavonoid glycosides, and chromone glycosides. Furthermore, three types of characteristic compounds could be well aggregated into an FBMN approach. Five possible potential new compounds were detected through the supplementary identification of GNPS and the correlation analysis of vicinal known compounds. The strategy was first applied to Imperatae Rhizoma and facilitated the characterization of a large quantity of data to provide comprehensive chemical composition results. This approach can be easily extended to the study of the material basis of other herbs or preparations in order to improve the accuracy of herb quality evaluation.

Abstract
This work aimed to develop and evaluate a post-acquisition data processing strategy, referred to as a mass defect filter (MDF), for rapid target the resin glycosides in root of Convolvulus scammonia by setting mass rang and mass defect range from high-resolution MS data. The full-scan mass data were acquired by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q Exactive Plus hybrid quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometer that featured high resolution, mass accuracy, and sensitivity. To screen resin glycosides, three parent filter m/z 871, m/z 853, and m/z 869 combined with diagnostic fragment ions (DFIs) approach were applied to remove the interference from complex herbal extract. The targeted components were characterized based on detailed fragment ions. Using this approach, 80 targeted components, including 22 glycosidic acids and 58 resin glycosides were tentatively identified. The present results suggested that the proposed MDF strategy would be adaptable to the analysis of complex system in relevant filed.

Abstract
Yinqiao Powder is a classic and effective prescription for the treatment of many kinds of pneumonia in China. To date, the chemical constituents had not been uncovered. Comprehensive identification of chemical constituents provided a structure basis to discover the potential anti-pneumonia ingredients in Yinqiao Powder. In this paper, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) analysis with diagnostic product ions and neutral loss filtering strategy were established and applied for the comprehensive chemical profiling of Yinqiao Powder, which simplified structure elucidation of chemical constituents in Yinqiao Powder. A total of 124 compounds, including 8 C6-C2 glucoside conjugates, 28 iridoid glycosides, 14 lignans, 21 phenylethanol glycosides, 20 triterpenoid saponins, 9 chlorogenic acids and 24 flavonoids were rapidly identified in Yinqiao Powder, and 32 of them were characterized by comparing their MS/MS data and retention time with reference standards. The results indicated that UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS method coupled with data filtering strategy was feasible and rational to identify the complex chemical constituents of Yinqiao Powder, which would be conducive to discover the active ingredients of Yinqiao Powder for the treatment of pneumonia and establish its quality standard.

Abstract
Qingfei Paidu Decoction is a Chinese medicine formula which has been proved effective in the treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019. However, the comprehensive separation and characterization of Qingfei Paidu Decoction is of great challenge due to the diversity of chemical components in a wide range of polarity. In this study, a triplex off-line two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MS) is developed for the analysis of Qingfei Paidu Decoction. One reversed phase LC×hydrophilic interaction LC system and two reversed phase LC×reversed phase LC systems were constructed to separate polar components and weak-polar components in Qingfei Paidu Decoction, respectively. Benefiting from the good orthogonality of two-dimensional LC and high sensitivity of quadrupole time-of-flight MS, chemical components with different polarities and content were discovered. A total of 749 peaks were detected in positive and negative ionization mode, and presented as a four-dimensional data plot. Meanwhile, 498 compounds belonging to 14 categories were tentatively identified. These results provide good supplementary to elucidate the material basis of Qingfei Paidu Decoction. The triplex off-line two-dimensional LC-quadrupole time-of-flight MS strategy can be a powerful and efficient tool for the separation and characterization of chemical substances in traditional Chinese medicine formulas.
