Abstract
This study investigates the potential and complementarity of high-throughput multipulse and multidimensional NMR methods for metabolomics. Through a chemical ecology case study, three methods are investigated, offering a continuum of methods with complementary features in terms of resolution, sensitivity and experiment time. Ultrafast 2D COSY, adiabatic INEPT and SYMAPS HSQC are shown to provide a very good classification ability, comparable to the reference 1D 1H NMR method. Moreover, a detailed analysis of discriminant buckets upon supervised statistical analysis shows that all methods are highly complementary, since they are able to highlight discriminant signals that could not be detected by 1D 1H NMR. In particular, fast 2D methods appear very efficient to discriminate signals located in highly crowded regions of the 1H spectrum. Overall, the combination of these recent methods within a single NMR metabolomics workflow allows to maximize the accessible metabolic information, and also raises exciting challenges in terms of NMR data analysis for chemical ecology.

Abstract
Tripterygium glycoside tablets (TGTs) are preparations extracted and purified from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. F and are extensively utilized in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, variations in production processes among manufacturers can lead to challenges in quality control and clinical utilization of TGTs. A band-selective 2D 1H-13C HSQC quantification method was applied for the determination of 13 active ingredients in TGTs. This method was validated following the guidelines of USP-NF 2022. The results demonstrated that the quantitative method exhibited excellent signal resolution, as well as sufficient accuracy, sensitivity, and stability. In addition, the 1H NMR spectra of TGTs from three manufacturers underwent analysis using principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis. The results revealed significant differences among the TGTs from the three manufacturers, with manufacturer 2 and manufacturer 3 demonstrating superior product consistency compared to manufacturer 1. A quality evaluation system for TGTs was developed based on band-selective 2D 1H-13C HSQC and 1H NMR, encompassing both quality markers and fingerprinting. This system offers reliable approaches and insights for enhancing the quality control of natural products.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2024; 362:107675. [PMID: 38631172 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2024.107675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) J-resolved spectroscopy provides valuable information on J-coupling constants for molecular structure analysis by resolving one-dimensional (1D) spectra. However, it is challenging to decipher the J-coupling connectivity in 2D J-resolved spectra because the J-coupling connectivity cannot be directly provided. In addition, 2D homonuclear correlation spectroscopy (COSY) can directly elucidate molecular structures by tracking the J-coupling connectivity between protons. However, this method is limited by the problem of spectral peak crowding and is only suitable for simple sample systems. To fully understand the intuitive coupling relationship and coupling constant information, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) COSY method called CTCOSY-JRES (Constant-Time COrrelation SpectroscopY and J-REsolved Spectroscopy) in this paper. By combining the J-resolved spectrum with the constant-time COSY technique, a doubly decoupled COSY spectrum can be provided while preserving the J-coupling constant along an additional dimension, ensuring high-resolution analysis of J-coupling connectivity and J-coupling information. Moreover, compression sensing and fold-over correction techniques are introduced to accelerate experimental acquisition. The CTCOSY-JRES method has been successfully validated in a variety of sample systems, including industrial, agricultural, and biopharmaceutical samples, revealing complex coupling interactions and providing deeper insights into the resolution of molecular structures.

Abstract
Nanocrystals refer to materials with at least one dimension smaller than 100 nm, composing of atoms arranged in single crystals or polycrystals. Nanocrystals have significant research value as they offer unique advantages over conventional pharmaceutical formulations, such as high bioavailability, enhanced targeting selectivity and controlled release ability and are therefore suitable for the delivery of a wide range of drugs such as insoluble drugs, antitumor drugs and genetic drugs with broad application prospects. In recent years, research on nanocrystals has been progressively refined and new products have been launched or entered the clinical phase of studies. However, issues such as safety and stability still stand that need to be addressed for further development of nanocrystal formulations, and significant gaps do exist in research in various fields in this pharmaceutical arena. This paper presents a systematic overview of the advanced development of nanocrystals, ranging from the preparation approaches of nanocrystals with which the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs is improved, critical properties of nanocrystals and associated characterization techniques, the recent development of nanocrystals with different administration routes, the advantages and associated limitations of nanocrystal formulations, the mechanisms of physical instability, and the enhanced dissolution performance, to the future perspectives, with a final view to shed more light on the future development of nanocrystals as a means of optimizing the bioavailability of drug candidates.

Abstract
Selective NMR experiments provide rapid access to important structural information, and are essential to tackle the analysis of large molecules and complex mixtures. Single-scan ultraselective experiments are particularly useful, as they can rapidly select signals that overlap with other signals. Here, we describe a novel type of single-scan ultraselective NMR experiments that is robust against the effects of translational molecular diffusion, and thus make it possible to improve significantly the sensitivity of the experiment. This will largely broaden the applicability of this powerful class of experiments.

Abstract
The HYPNOESYS method (Hyperpolarized NOE System), which relies on the dissolution of optically polarized crystals, has recently emerged as a promising approach to enhance the sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy in the solution state. However, HYPNOESYS is a single-shot method that is not generally compatible with multidimensional NMR. Here we show that 2D NMR spectra can be obtained from HYPNOESYS-polarized samples, using single-scan acquisition methods. The approach is illustrated with a mixture of terpene molecules and a benchtop NMR spectrometer, paving the way to a sensitive, information-rich and affordable analytical method.

Abstract
Hyperpolarized 13C NMR at natural abundance, based on dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (d-DNP), provides rich, sensitive and repeatable 13C NMR fingerprints of complex mixtures. However, the sensitivity enhancement is associated with challenges such as peak overlap and the difficulty to assign hyperpolarized 13C signals. Ultrafast (UF) 2D NMR spectroscopy makes it possible to record heteronuclear 2D maps of d-DNP hyperpolarized samples. Heteronuclear UF 2D NMR can provide correlation peaks that link quaternary carbons and protons through long-range scalar couplings. Here, we report the analytical assessment of an optimized UF long-range HETCOR pulse sequence, applied to the detection of metabolic mixtures at natural abundance and hyperpolarized by d-DNP, based on repeatability and sensitivity considerations. We show that metabolite-dependent limits of quantification in the range of 1-50 mM (in the sample before dissolution) can be achieved, with a repeatability close to 10% and a very good linearity. We provide a detailed comparison of such analytical performance in two different dissolution solvents, D2O and MeOD. The reported pulse sequence appears as an useful analytical tool to facilitate the assignment and integration of metabolite signals in hyperpolarized complex mixtures.

Abstract
Flow NMR is a powerful tool to monitor chemical reactions under realistic conditions. Here, we describe ultrafast (UF) 2D NMR schemes that make it possible to acquire broadband homonuclear 2D NMR spectra in 90 seconds or less for a continuously flowing sample. An interleaved acquisition strategy is used to address the spectral width limitation of UF 2D NMR. We show how, for a flowing sample, the use of a transverse axis for spatial encoding makes it possible to achieve the very high scan-to-scan stability required for interleaved acquisition. We also describe an optimised solvent suppression strategy that is effective for interleaved acquisition in continuous flow. These developments open the way to online monitoring with flow 2D NMR at high time resolution, as we illustrate with the monitoring of an organocatalysed condensation reaction.

Abstract
Sensitivity in FlowNMR spectroscopy for reaction monitoring often suffers from low levels of pre-magnetisation due to limited residence times of the sample in the magnetic field. While this in-flow effect is tolerable for high sensitivity nuclei such as 1 H and 19 F, it significantly reduces the signal-to-noise ratio in 31 P and 13 C spectra, making FlowNMR impractical for low sensititvity nuclei at low concentrations. Paramagnetic relaxation agents (PRAs), which enhance polarisation and spin-lattice relaxation, could eliminate the adverse in-flow effect and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Herein, [Co(acac)3 ], [Mn(acac)3 ], [Fe(acac)3 ], [Cr(acac)3 ], [Ni(acac)2 ]3, [Gd(tmhd)3 ] and [Cr(tmhd)3 ] are investigated for their effectiveness in improving signal intensity per unit time in FlowNMR applications under the additional constraint of chemical inertness towards catalytically active transition metal complexes. High-spin Cr(III) acetylacetonates emerged as the most effective compounds, successfully reducing 31 P T1 values four- to five-fold at PRA concentrations as low as 10 mM without causing adverse line broadening. Whereas [Cr(acac)3 ] showed signs of chemical reactivity with a mixture of triphenylphosphine, triphenylphosphine oxide and triphenylphosphate over the course of several hours at 80° C, the bulkier [Cr(tmhd)3 ] was stable and equally effective as a PRA under these conditions. Compatibility with a range of representative transition metal complexes often used in homogeneous catalysis has been investigated, and application of [Cr(tmhd)3 ] in significantly improving 1 H and 31 P{1 H} FlowNMR data quality in a Rh-catalysed hydroformylation reaction has been demonstrated. With the PRA added, 13 C relaxation times were reduced more than six-fold, allowing quantitative reaction monitoring of substrate consumption and product formation by 13 C{1 H} FlowNMR spectroscopy at natural abundance.

Abstract
Cancer exerts a multitude of effects on metabolism, including the reprogramming of cellular metabolic pathways and alterations in metabolites that facilitate inappropriate proliferation of cancer cells and adaptation to the tumor microenvironment. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that aberrant metabolites play pivotal roles in tumorigenesis and metastasis, and have the potential to serve as biomarkers for personalized cancer therapy. Importantly, high-throughput metabolomics detection techniques and machine learning approaches offer tremendous potential for clinical oncology by enabling the identification of cancer-specific metabolites. Emerging research indicates that circulating metabolites have great promise as noninvasive biomarkers for cancer detection. Therefore, this review summarizes reported abnormal cancer-related metabolites in the last decade and highlights the application of metabolomics in liquid biopsy, including detection specimens, technologies, methods, and challenges. The review provides insights into cancer metabolites as a promising tool for clinical applications.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics is a valuable tool for identifying biomarkers and understanding the underlying metabolic changes associated with various diseases. However, the translation of metabolomics analysis to clinical practice has been limited by the high cost and large size of traditional high-resolution NMR spectrometers. Benchtop NMR, a compact and low-cost alternative, offers the potential to overcome these limitations and facilitate the wider use of NMR-based metabolomics in clinical settings. This review summarizes the current state of benchtop NMR for clinical applications where benchtop NMR has demonstrated the ability to reproducibly detect changes in metabolite levels associated with diseases such as type 2 diabetes and tuberculosis. Benchtop NMR has been used to identify metabolic biomarkers in a range of biofluids, including urine, blood plasma and saliva. However, further research is needed to optimize the use of benchtop NMR for clinical applications and to identify additional biomarkers that can be used to monitor and manage a range of diseases. Overall, benchtop NMR has the potential to revolutionize the way metabolomics is used in clinical practice, providing a more accessible and cost-effective way to study metabolism and identify biomarkers for disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Abstract
This work demonstrates the in-line monitoring of a flow photochemical reaction using 1D and ultrafast 2D NMR methods at high magnetic field. The reaction mixture exiting the flow reactor is flown through the NMR spectrometer and directly analyzed. In the case of simple substrates, suitable information can be obtained through 1D 1 H spectra, but for molecules of higher complexity the use of 2D experiments is key to address signal overlaps and assignment issues. Here we show the usefulness of ultrafast 2D COSY experiments acquired in 70 s or less, for the in-line monitoring of photochemical reactions, and the possibility to obtain reliable quantitative information. This is a powerful framework to, for example, efficiently screen reaction conditions.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is a powerful approach for the analysis of mixtures. Its usefulness arises in large part from the vast landscape of methods, and corresponding pulse sequences, that have been and are being designed to tackle the specific properties of mixtures of small molecules. This feature article describes a selection of methods that aim to address the complexity, the low concentrations, and the changing nature that mixtures can display. These notably include pure-shift and diffusion NMR methods, hyperpolarisation methods, and fast 2D NMR methods such as ultrafast 2D NMR and non-uniform sampling. Examples or applications are also described, in fields such as reaction monitoring and metabolomics, to illustrate the relevance and limitations of different methods.

Abstract
Accurate quantification of metabolites by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is of prime importance in the field of health sciences for understanding the metabolic pathways of the investigated system, to address the mechanisms of action of diseases, and improving their diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Unfortunately, the absolute quantitative analysis of complex samples is still limited by sensitivity and resolution issues that are intrinsic to this technique. Ultrahigh-resolution pure shift methods have especially shown to be suitable for interpreting mixtures of metabolites in biological samples. Here, we introduce a robust analytical protocol based on the use of a pure shift library of calibration reference spectra to fit the fingerprint of each metabolite of interest and determine its concentration. The approach based on the SAPPHIRE pulse sequence enhanced with a block for solvent suppression has been validated through the results of a series of model mixtures, exhibiting excellent trueness (slope values in the range of 0.93-1.02) and linearity (R2 > 0.996) in a total time (a few hours) that is fully compatible with metabolomics studies. Furthermore, we have successfully applied our method to determine the absolute metabolite concentrations in a lymphoma extracellular medium, which improves metabolomic protocols reported to date by providing a quantitative and highly resolved vision of metabolic processes at play.
