Abstract
Licarin A, a dihydrobenzofuranic neolignan presents in several medicinal plants and seeds of nutmeg, exhibits strong activity against protozoans responsible for Chagas disease and leishmaniasis. From biomimetic reactions by metalloporphyrin and Jacobsen catalysts, seven products were determined: four isomeric products yielded by epoxidation from licarin A, besides a new product yielded by a vicinal diol, a benzylic aldehyde, and an unsaturated aldehyde in the structure of the licarin A. The incubation with rat and human liver microsomes partially reproduced the biomimetic reactions by the production of the same epoxidized product of m/z 343 [M + H]+. In vivo acute toxicity assays of licarin A suggested liver toxicity based on biomarker enzymatic changes. However, microscopic analysis of tissues sections did not show any tissue damage as indicative of toxicity after 14 days of exposure. New metabolic pathways of the licarin A were identified after in vitro biomimetic oxidation reaction and in vitro metabolism by rat or human liver microsomes.

Abstract
Over the past decade, systems biology and plant-omics have increasingly become the main stream in plant biology research. New developments in mass spectrometry and bioinformatics tools, and methodological schema to integrate multi-omics data have leveraged recent advances in proteomics and metabolomics. These progresses are driving a rapid evolution in the field of plant research, greatly facilitating our understanding of the mechanistic aspects of plant metabolisms and the interactions of plants with their external environment. Here, we review the recent progresses in MS-based proteomics and metabolomics tools and workflows with a special focus on their applications to plant biology research using several case studies related to mechanistic understanding of stress response, gene/protein function characterization, metabolic and signaling pathways exploration, and natural product discovery. We also present a projection concerning future perspectives in MS-based proteomics and metabolomics development including their applications to and challenges for system biology. This review is intended to provide readers with an overview of how advanced MS technology, and integrated application of proteomics and metabolomics can be used to advance plant system biology research.

Abstract
C-prenyl coumarins (C-PYCs) are compounds with similar structures and various bioactivities, which are widely distributed in medicinal plants. Until now, the metabolic characterizations of C-PYCs and the relationship between metabolism and bioactivities remain unclear. In this study, ultra-performance chromatography electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based metabolomics (UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS) was firstly used to determine the metabolic characterizations of three C-PYCs, including meranzin hydrate (MH), isomeranzin (ISM), and meranzin (MER). In total, 52 metabolites were identified, and all of them were found to be novel metabolites. Among these metabolites, 10 were from MH, 22 were from ISM, and 20 were from MER. The major metabolic pathways of these C-PYCs were hydroxylation, dehydrogenation, demethylation, and conjugation with cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, and glucuronide. The metabolic rate of MH was much lower than ISM and MER, which was only 27.1% in MLM and 8.7% in HLM, respectively. Additionally, recombinant cytochrome P450 (CYP) screening showed that CYP1A1, 2B6, 3A4, and 3A5 were the major metabolic enzymes involved in the formation of metabolites. Further bioactivity assays indicated that all of these three C-PYCs exhibited anti-inflammatory activity, but the effects of ISM and MER were slightly higher than MH, accompanied by a significant decrease in inflammatory cytokines transcription induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in macrophages RAW 264.7. Taken together, the metabolic characterizations of the three C-PYCs suggested that the side chain of the prenyl group may impact the metabolism and biological activity of C-PYCs.

Abstract
Coumarins are a group of natural compounds commonly found in the families of Rutaceae and Umbelliferae. 7-Isopentenyloxycoumarin (ISC), auraptene (AUR), and umbelliprenin (UM) belong to prenyloxycoumarins (PYCs), which link isopentenyl, geranyl, and farnesyl group at C7 position, respectively. The substituent of 7-ethoxycoumarin (ETC) is the ethyl group. In this study, UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS (ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-quadrupole time of flight-MS)-based metabolomics was used to evaluate the in vivo and in vitro metabolism of PYCs. Results showed that ETC produced 10 known metabolites, and ISC was transformed into 17 metabolites in vivo and in vitro, which were undescribed compounds. A total of 35 AUR metabolites, including 34 undescribed metabolites were identified, and 21 metabolites were reported for the first time in UM. The results indicated that hydroxylation and N-acetylcysteine conjugation were the common metabolic reactions for PYCs. The metabolic rates of ETC, ISC, AUR and UM were 26%, 36%, 81%, and 38%, respectively, in human liver microsome, while they were 24%, 40%, 80%, and 37%, respectively, in mouse liver microsomes. In addition, recombinant cytochrome P450s (CYPs) screening showed that CYP1A1, 2C19, 3A4, and 3A5 were the major metabolic enzymes involved in the formation of hydroxylation metabolites. Together, these results suggest that the isopentenyl group plays an important role in the metabolism of PYCs.

Abstract
Background Dehydrodiisoeugenol (DEH), a novel lignan component extracted from nutmeg, which is the seed of Myristica fragrans Houtt, displays noticeable anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects in digestive system diseases. However, the mechanism of its anticancer activity in gastrointestinal cancer remains to be investigated. Methods In this study, the anticancer effect of DEH on human colorectal cancer and its underlying mechanism were evaluated. Assays including MTT, EdU, Plate clone formation, Soft agar, Flow cytometry, Electron microscopy, Immunofluorescence and Western blotting were used in vitro. The CDX and PDX tumor xenograft models were used in vivo. Results Our findings indicated that treatment with DEH arrested the cell cycle of colorectal cancer cells at the G1/S phase, leading to significant inhibition in cell growth. Moreover, DEH induced strong cellular autophagy, which could be inhibited through autophagic inhibitors, with a rction in the DEH-induced inhibition of cell growth in colorectal cancer cells. Further analysis indicated that DEH also induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and subsequently stimulated autophagy through the activation of PERK/eIF2α and IRE1α/XBP-1 s/CHOP pathways. Knockdown of PERK or IRE1α significantly decreased DEH-induced autophagy and retrieved cell viability in cells treated with DEH. Furthermore, DEH also exhibited significant anticancer activities in the CDX- and PDX-models. Conclusions Collectively, our studies strongly suggest that DEH might be a potential anticancer agent against colorectal cancer by activating ER stress-induced inhibition of autophagy.

Abstract
To elucidate the metabolism of pazopanib, a metabolomics approach was performed based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole mass spectrometry. A total of 22 pazopanib metabolites were identified in vitro and in vivo. Among these metabolites, 17 were novel, including several cysteine adducts and aldehyde derivatives. By screening using recombinant CYPs, CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 were found to be the main forms involved in the pazopanib hydroxylation. Formation of a cysteine conjugate (M3), an aldehyde derivative (M15) and two N-oxide metabolites (M18 and M20) from pazopanib could induce the oxidative stress that may be responsible in part for pazopanib-induced hepatotoxicity. Morphological observation of the liver suggested that pazopanib (300 mg/kg) could cause liver injury. The aspartate transaminase and alanine aminotransferase in serum significantly increased after pazopanib (150, 300 mg/kg) treatment; this liver injury could be partially reversed by the broad-spectrum CYP inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT). Metabolomics analysis revealed that pazopanib could significantly change the levels of L-carnitine, proline and lysophosphatidylcholine 18:1 in liver. Additionally, drug metabolism-related gene expression analysis revealed that hepatic Cyp2d22 and Abcb1a (P-gp) mRNAs were significantly lowered by pazopanib treatment. In conclusion, this study provides a global view of pazopanib metabolism and clues to its influence on hepatic function.

Abstract
Myristicin is widely distributed in spices and medicinal plants. The aim of this study was to explore the role of metabolic activation of myristicin in its potential toxicity through a metabolomic approach. The myristicin- N-acetylcysteine adduct was identified by comparing the metabolic maps of myristicin and 1'-hydroxymyristicin. The supplement of N-acetylcysteine could protect against the cytotoxicity of myristicin and 1'-hydroxymyristicin in primary mouse hepatocytes. When the depletion of intracellular N-acetylcysteine was pretreated with diethyl maleate in hepatocytes, the cytotoxicity induced by myristicin and 1'-hydroxymyristicin was deteriorated. It suggested that the N-acetylcysteine adduct resulting from myristicin bioactivation was closely associated with myristicin toxicity. Screening of human recombinant cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and treatment with CYP inhibitors revealed that CYP1A1 was mainly involved in the formation of 1'-hydroxymyristicin. Collectively, this study provided a global view of myristicin metabolism and identified the N-acetylcysteine adduct resulting from myristicin bioactivation, which could be used for understanding the mechanism of myristicin toxicity.

Resident microbiota are capable of influencing AHR-dependent signaling pathways via production of an array of bioactive molecules that act as AHR agonists, such as indole or indole-3-aldehyde. Bacteria produce a number of quinoline derivatives, of which some function as quorum-sensing molecules. Thus, we screened relevant hydroxyquinoline derivatives for AHR activity using AHR responsive reporter cell lines. 2,8-Dihydroxyquinoline (2,8-DHQ) was identified as a species-specific AHR agonist that exhibits full AHR agonist activity in human cell lines, but only induces modest AHR activity in mouse cells. Additional dihydroxylated quinolines tested failed to activate the human AHR. Nanomolar concentrations of 2,8-DHQ significantly induced CYP1A1 expression and, upon cotreatment with cytokines, synergistically induced IL6 expression. Ligand binding competition studies subsequently confirmed 2,8-DHQ to be a human AHR ligand. Several dihydroxyquinolines were detected in human fecal samples, with concentrations of 2,8-DHQ ranging between 0 and 3.4 pmol/mg feces. Additionally, in mice the microbiota was necessary for the presence of DHQ in cecal contents. These results suggest that microbiota-derived 2,8-DHQ would contribute to AHR activation in the human gut, and thus participate in the protective and homeostatic effects observed with gastrointestinal AHR activation.

Abstract
LC-MS-based metabolomics could have a major impact in the study of natural products, especially in its metabolism, toxicity and activity. This review highlights recent applications of metabolomics approach in the study of metabolites and toxicity of natural products, and the understanding of their effects on various diseases. Metabolomics has been employed to study the in vitro and in vivo metabolism of natural compounds, such as osthole, dehydrodiisoeugenol, and myrislignan. The pharmacological effects of natural compounds and extracts were determined using metabolomics technology combined with diseases models in animal, including osthole and nutmeg extracts. It has been demonstrated that metabolomics is a powerful technology for the investigation of xenobiotics-induced toxicity. The metabolism of triptolide and its hepatotoxicity were discussed. LC-MS-based metabolomics has a great potential in the druggability of natural products. The application of metabolomics should be broadened in the field of natural products in the future.
