Abstract
Chemoselective extraction strategy is an emerging and powerful means for targeted metabolomics analysis, which allows for the selective identification of biomarkers. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as functional metabolites for many diseases pose challenges in qualitative and quantitative analyses due to their high polarity and uneven abundance. In our study, we proposed the B-labeled method for the derivatization of SCFAs using easily available 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid as the derivatization reagent, which enables the introduction of recognition unit (boric acid groups). To analyze the B-labeled targeted metabolites accurately, cis-diol-based covalent organic framework (COF) was designed to specifically capture and release target compounds by pH-response borate affinity principle. The COF synthesized by the one-step Schiff base reaction possessed a large surface area (215.77 m2/g), excellent adsorption capacity (774.9 μmol/g), good selectivity, and strong regeneration ability (20 times). Combined with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) analysis, our results indicated that the detection sensitivities of SCFAs increased by 1.2-2500 folds compared with unlabeled method, and the retention time and isomer separation were improved. Using this strategy, we determined twenty-six SCFAs in the serum and urine of rats in four groups about osteoporosis and identified important biomarkers related to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and fatty acid metabolism pathways. In summary, UHPLC-MS/MS based on B-labeled derivatization with tailored COF strategy shows its high selectivity, excellent sensitivity, and good chromatographic behavior and has remarkable application prospect in targeted metabolomics study of biospecimens.

Abstract
This study presents a disposable, novel, and sensitive biosensing system to determine adiponectin, an obesity biomarker, in real human serum. The graphite paper (GP) working electrode is a new material for impedimetric biosensors. In the literature, there is no study in which this electrode is used in impedance-based biosensors for adiponectin detection. Sensitive and useful techniques, such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry, were utilized for investigation of the modification of the GP electrode surface and optimization and characterization of the constructed biosensor. The single frequency impedance technique was used to study the interactions between antiadiponectin and adiponectin. The morphology of the electrode surface for each immobilization step was examined with scanning electron microscopy. All experimental parameters were optimized to fabricate a rapid and sensitive biosensing system. The designed biosensor presents excellent performance with a wide detection range (0.05-25 pg mL-1) and a low limit of detection (0.0033 pg mL-1) for adiponectin determination. Also, it has been demonstrated that the biosensor sensitively allows for the detection of adiponectin in human serum. The affinity of the designed immunosensor toward other proteins and components was examined in the presence of the target protein (adiponectin), leptin (100 pg mL-1), creatine kinase (50 pg mL-1), parathyroid hormone (50 pg mL-1), and d-glucose (0.5 M). The selectivity of the adiponectin biosensor resulted in high capacity to neglect the interference effect. The constructed biosensor showed good linearity, long-term storage life (10 weeks), high reusability (18 times regenerability), and high ability to detect adiponectin concentrations at picogram levels.

Abstract
Members of the diazaquinomycin class of natural products have shown potent and selective activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, poor aqueous solubility has prevented extensive studies in animal models thus far. Our long-term goal is to harness knowledge regarding diazaquinomycin biosynthesis towards the generation of derivatives for structure-activity relationship studies. We have previously sequenced the genomes of two diazaquinomycin-producing, actinomycete bacteria and identified putative daq biosynthetic gene clusters. Here, we report the heterologous expression of the daq gene cluster from the marine Streptomyces sp. F001 in S. coelicolor M1152. In addition to serving as functional proof for gene cluster assignment, the heterologous expression system reported here is expected to facilitate investigations aimed at elucidating diazaquinomycin biosynthesis.
