J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 247:116244. [PMID: 38810330 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2024.116244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Depression currently ranks as the fourth leading cause of disability globally, affecting approximately 20% of the world's population. we established a chronic restraint stress (CRS) induced depression model in mice and employed fluoxetine as a reference drug. We assessed the therapeutic potential of saffron essential oil (SEO) and elucidated its underlying mechanisms through behavioral indices and NMR-based metabolomic analysis. The findings indicate that SEO ameliorates behavioral symptoms of depression, such as the number of entries into the central area, fecal count, latency to immobility, and duration of immobility in both the Tail Suspension Test (TST) and the Forced Swim Test (FST), along with correcting the dysregulation of 5-serotonin. Metabolomic investigations identified sixteen potential biomarkers across the liver, spleen, and kidneys. SEO notably modulated nine of these biomarkers: dimethylglycine, glycerol, adenosine, β-glucose, α-glucose, uridine, mannose, sarcosine, and aspartate, with glycerol emerging as a common biomarker in both the liver and spleen. Pathway analysis suggests that these biomarkers participate in glycolysis, glycine serine threonine metabolism, and energy metabolism, potentially implicating a role in neural regulation. In summary, SEO effectively mitigates depressive-like behaviors in CRS mice, predominantly via modulation of glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, and energy metabolism, and potentially exerts antidepressant effects through neural regulation. Our study offers insights into small molecule metabolite alterations in CRS mice through a metabolomics lens, providing evidence for the antidepressant potential of plant essential oils and contributing to our understanding of the mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in treating depression.

Hu C, Chen W, Yang Y, Tao Y. An exploratory metabolomic study reveals the Dipsacus asper-Achyranthes bidentate herb pair against osteoarthritis by modulating imbalance in polyunsaturated fatty acids and energy metabolism. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 245:116196. [PMID: 38723559 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2024.116196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease primarily affecting the cartilage. The therapeutic potential of the Dipsacus asper-Achyranthes bidentate herb pair for OA has been acknowledged, yet its precise mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of metabolomic changes and therapeutic outcomes in osteoarthritic rats, employing a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomics approach in conjunction with histopathological and biochemical assessments. The rats were divided into six groups: control, model, positive control, Dipsacus asper treated, Achyranthes bidentata treated, and herb pair treated groups. Compared to the model group, significant reductions in levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and iNOS were observed in the treated groups. Multivariate statistical analyses were employed to investigate metabolite profile changes in serum samples and identify potential biomarkers, revealing 45 differential biomarkers, with eighteen validated using standard substances. These analytes exhibited excellent linearity across a wide concentration range (R2>0.9990), with intra- and inter-day precision RSD values below 4.69% and 4.83%, respectively. Recoveries of the eighteen analytes ranged from 93.97% to 106.59%, with RSD values under 5.72%, underscoring the method's reliability. Treatment with the herbal pair effectively restored levels of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and arachidonic acid, along with glucogenic amino acids. Additionally, levels of phosphoric acid and citric acid were reversed, indicating restoration of energy metabolism. Collectively, these findings highlight the utility of metabolomic analysis in evaluating therapeutic efficacy and elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms of herb pairs in OA treatment.

Screening for promising multi-target bioactive components from Cortex Mori Radicis for the treatment of chronic cor pulmonale based on immobilized beta 1-adrenergic receptor and beta 2-adrenergic receptor chromatography. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2024; 1242:124175.

Abstract
Cortex Morin Radicis (CMR) is the dried root bark of Morus alba. L. It has a variety of effects such as antibacterial, anti-tumour, treatment of cardiovascular diseases or upper respiratory tract disease and so on. The pursuit for drugs selected from Cortex Mori Radicis having improved therapeutic efficacy necessitates increasing research on new assays for screening bioactive compounds with multi-targets. In this work, we applied immobilized β1-AR and β2-AR as the stationary phase in chromatographic column to screen bioactive compounds from Cortex Morin Radicis. Specific ligands of the two receptors (e.g. esmolol, metoprolol, atenolol, salbutamol, methoxyphenamine, tulobuterol and clorprenaline) were utilized to characterize the specificity and bioactivity of the columns. We used high performance affinity chromatography coupled with ESI-MS to screen targeted compounds of Cortex Morin Radicis. By zonal elution, we identified morin as a bioactive compound simultaneously binding to β1-AR and β2-AR. The compound exhibited the association constants of 3.10 × 104 and 2.60 × 104 M-1 on the β1-AR and β2-AR column. On these sites, the dissociation rate constants were calculated to be 0.131 and 0.097 s-1. Molecular docking indicated that the binding of morin to the two receptors occurred on Asp200, Asp121, and Val122 of β1-AR, Asn312, Thr110, Asp113, Tyr316, Gly90, Phe193, Ile309, and Trp109 of β2-AR. Likewise, mulberroside C was identified as the bioactive compound binding to β2-AR. The association constants and dissociation rate constants were calculated to be 1.08 × 104 M-1 and 0.900 s-1. Molecular docking also indicated that mulberroside C could bind to β2-AR receptor on its agonist site. Taking together, we demonstrated that the chromatographic strategy to identify bioactive natural products based on the β1-AR and β2-AR immobilization, has potential for screening bioactive compounds with multi-targets from complex matrices including traditional Chinese medicines.

THE ISME JOURNAL 2024; 18:wrae084. [PMID: 38709871 PMCID: PMC11131964 DOI: 10.1093/ismejo/wrae084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
Chirality, a fundamental property of matter, is often overlooked in the studies of marine organic matter cycles. Dihydroxypropanesulfonate (DHPS), a globally abundant organosulfur compound, serves as an ecologically important currency for nutrient and energy transfer from phytoplankton to bacteria in the ocean. However, the chirality of DHPS in nature and its transformation remain unclear. Here, we developed a novel approach using chiral phosphorus-reagent labeling to separate DHPS enantiomers. Our findings demonstrated that at least one enantiomer of DHPS is present in marine diatoms and coccolithophores, and that both enantiomers are widespread in marine environments. A novel chiral-selective DHPS catabolic pathway was identified in marine Roseobacteraceae strains, where HpsO and HpsP dehydrogenases at the gateway to DHPS catabolism act specifically on R-DHPS and S-DHPS, respectively. R-DHPS is also a substrate for the dehydrogenase HpsN. All three dehydrogenases generate stable hydrogen bonds between the chirality-center hydroxyls of DHPS and highly conserved residues, and HpsP also form coordinate-covalent bonds between the chirality-center hydroxyls and Zn2+, which determines the mechanistic basis of strict stereoselectivity. We further illustrated the role of enzymatic promiscuity in the evolution of DHPS metabolism in Roseobacteraceae and SAR11. This study provides the first evidence of chirality's involvement in phytoplankton-bacteria metabolic currencies, opening a new avenue for understanding the ocean organosulfur cycle.

Abstract
Amino-containing compounds, including amino acids, aliphatic amines, aromatic amines, small peptides and catecholamines, are involved in various biological processes and play vital roles in multiple metabolic pathways. Previous studies indicated that some amino-containing metabolites are significant diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of gastric cancer. However, the discovery of precise biomarkers for the preoperative diagnosis of gastric cancer is still in an urgent need. Herein, we established a polarity-regulated derivatization method coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for amino-containing metabolites profiling in the serum samples of patients with gastric cancer and healthy controls, based on our newly designed and synthesized derivatization reagent (S)-3-(1-(diisopropoxyphosphoryl) pyrrolidine-2-carboxamido)-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester (3-DP-NHS). Enhanced separation efficiency and detection sensitivity for amino-containing metabolites were achieved after derivatization. This method exhibited good linearity, recovery, intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy. Only 5 μL serum is needed for untargeted analysis, enabling 202 amino-containing metabolites to be detected. Statistical analysis revealed altered amino acid metabolisms in patients with gastric cancer. Furthermore, ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) analysis quantification revealed increased serum levels of tryptamine and decreased concentrations of arginine and tryptophan in patients with gastric cancer. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves indicated that an increased tryptamine/tryptophan ratio could serve as a potential biomarker for gastric cancer diagnosis. This study demostrated the possibility of using serum amino acid biomarkers for gastric cancer diagnosis, providing new avenues for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Some diseases can cause abnormal concentrations of catecholamines (CAs), nucleosides (NSs) and nucleotides (NTs) in patients. Previous studies normally focused on the detection of the three types of substances separately. In this work, a bifunctional boronate and titanium (Ⅳ) ion affinity magnetic adsorbent with high-capacity was prepared. The adsorbent can simultaneously enrich CAs, NSs and NTs in a single extraction process, and the adsorbed analytes can be sequentially eluted by 1.0% trifluoroacetic acid and 20.0 mmol L-1 Na3PO4. An analytical method of the analytes has been established by coupling the adsorbent with RP-HPLC. The method has low detection limits (0.039-0.708 ng mL-1) and good reproducibility (inter- and intra-day of assay RSDs less than 15.0%). Serum sample from healthy volunteer was successfully quantified for two CAs, four NSs and five NTs. Compared with the reported methods, the proposed method is simpler to operate, consume less samples, and has enough accurate and sensitivity to obtain comprehensive information on the concentrations of analytes in a single extraction process.

Abstract
Understanding the metabolic abnormalities of tumors is crucial for early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Accurate identification and quantification of metabolites in biological samples are essential to investigate the relationship between metabolite variations and tumor development. Common techniques like LC-MS and GC-MS face challenges in measuring aberrant metabolites in tumors due to their strong polarity, isomerism, or low ionization efficiency during MS detection. Chemical derivatization of metabolites offers an effective solution to overcome these challenges. This review focuses on the difficulties encountered in analyzing aberrant metabolites in tumors, the principles behind chemical derivatization methods, and the advancements in analyzing tumor metabolites using derivatization-based chromatography. It serves as a comprehensive reference for understanding the analysis and detection of tumor metabolites, particularly those that are highly polar and exhibit low ionization efficiency.
