Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and heterocyclic amines (HAs) are main harmful Maillard reaction products of meat products. Simultaneous quantification of both with high sensitivity, selectivity and accuracy remains a major challenge due to inconsistencies in their pre-treatment and instrumental methods and the different polarity of AGEs and HAs. We developed a method for the simultaneous determination of AGEs and HAs in roast/grilled meat by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) using dynamic multiple reaction monitoring (D-MRM). The instrument parameters and pre-treatment method were optimized to achieve reasonably good separation and high response for the 11 target analytes within 8 min. From 10 to 200 ng/mL, the limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) ranged from 0.3 to 5.5 μg/L and 0.9 to 6.3 μg/L, respectively, and the correlation coefficient (R2) was >0.99. It was acceptable to recoveries, standard deviations (RSDs), and matrix effects. Six types of roast/grilled meat samples were then tested using the developed method.

Abstract
Antibiotics and sedatives are used in freshwater fish culture and transportation, and residue in freshwater fish pose potential risks to human health. Therefore, a throughput method was developed to detect antibiotic and sedative residues in fish, simultaneously quantifying 68 antibiotics and 9 sedatives in freshwater fish using a modified QuEChERS extraction method and UPLC-MS/MS. Matrix-matched calibrations demonstrated good correlation coefficients (R2 > 0.995), with a recovery range of 66.2-118.5%. The intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviation (RSD) were below 9.7% and 12.8%, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.08-1.46 μg/kg and 0.25-4.86 μg/kg, respectively. 68.8% of analytes had weak matrix effects, and 13.0% had moderate matrix effects. In addition, diazepam and many types of antibiotics were detected in30 freshwater fish. The validation parameters were in agreement with the acceptable criteria of the Codex guidelines. The method was effective in analyzing antibiotic and sedative residues in freshwater fish.

Abstract
Fuke Qianjin capsules (FKQJ) exhibit obvious advantages and characteristics in the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease. At present, information regarding the in vivo process of FKQJ is lacking, which has become a bottleneck in further determining the therapeutic effect of this traditional Chinese medicine. In the present study, a sensitive, simple and reliable method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of 12 main components (4 flavonoids, 4 alkaloids, 2 phthalides and 2 diterpene lactones) in plasma and seven tissues of rats to study the pharmacokinetic and distribution characteristics of these components in vivo by using ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for the first time. Plasma and tissue were prepared by protein precipitation with acetonitrile and methanol, followed by its separation on a Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column. The quantification was performed via multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) by a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer under positive electrospray ionization (ESI) mode. The method was validated to demonstrate its selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery, matrix effect and stability. For 12 analytes, the low limit of quantification (LLOQs) reached 0.005-2.44 ng/mL, and all calibration curves showed good linearity (r2 ≥ 0.990) in linear ranges. The intra-day and inter-day precision (relative standard deviation) for all analytes was less than 14.96%, and the accuracies were in the range of 85.29%-114.97%. Extraction recoveries and matrix effects of analytes were acceptable. The pharmacokinetic results showed that the main components could be absorbed quickly, had a short residence time, and were eliminated quickly in vivo. At different time points, the 12 components were widely distributed with uneven characteristics in the body, which tended to be distributed in the liver, kidney and lung and to a lesser extent in the uterus, brain and heart. The pharmacokinetic process and tissue distribution characteristics of FKQJ were expounded in this study, which can provide a scientific theory for in-depth development of FKQJ and guide FKQJ use in the clinic.

Abstract
This aim of the work was to establish an acceptable sensitive assay based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for quantitatively analyzing the plasma concentrations of iguratimod (IGR) and its metabolite M2 in rats, and to further investigate the effect of fluconazole on the pharmacokinetics of IGR and M2. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and water with 0.1% formic acid, was used to separate IGR, M2 and internal standard (IS) fedratinib on a UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) with the flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. Positive ion mode and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) were used to construct the quantitative analysis. The calibration standard of IGR and M2 covered 2-10000 and 1-1000 ng/mL respectively, with the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) as 2 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL respectively. In addition, selectivity, recovery, accuracy, precision, matrix effect and stability of the method validation program were well accepted in this work. Subsequently, this approach was used to assess the effect of fluconazole on the pharmacokinetics of IGR and M2 in rats. In the presence of 20 mg/kg fluconazole (experimental group), we found the main pharmacokinetic parameters were significantly altered when compared with 2.5 mg/kg IGR alone (control group). Among them, AUC(0-∞) and Cmax of IGR in the experimental group was 1.43 and 1.08 times higher than that of the control group, respectively. Moreover, we also found that the other main pharmacokinetic parameters of M2 had no significant changes, except t1/2z and Tmax. In conclusion, fluconazole significantly altered the main pharmacokinetics of IGR and M2 in rats. It implys that we should pay more attention to the adverse reaction of IGR when the concomitant use of fluconazole and IGR occur in the future clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM To support pharmacokinetic studies, a multiplex UPLC-MS/MS assay was developed and validated to quantify PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors atezolizumab, avelumab, and durvalumab in serum. METHODS A bottom-up sample pre-treatment procedure was developed to determine atezolizumab, avelumab, and durvalumab in serum. This procedure consisted of (1) precipitation of the monoclonal antibody with ammonium sulfate, (2) reduction with dithiothreitol, (3) denaturation with methanol, and (4) tryptic digestion of the protein. The unique signature peptides resulting after sample pre-treatment of the antibodies were measured using UPLC-MS/MS with a total run time of 11 minutes. The clinical application was evaluated by analyzing 114 atezolizumab patient samples. RESULTS The developed method was found to be accurate and precise for all three analytes over a concentration range of 3.00-150 µg/mL. No endogenous interference was present in serum samples. Cross-interference experiments showed no cross-analyte interference and acceptable cross-internal standard interference. In addition, no substantial carry-over was observed. The stable isotopically labeled signature peptides were most effective in compensating for matrix effects. Recovery based on back-calculated concentrations of calibration standards and quality control samples was found to be high. The analytes were stable for at least three freeze-thaw cycles, for 42 hours at processing conditions, for at least two days at 2-8°C in the final extract, for five days before re-injection analysis at 4°C, and long-term for at least 11 months at -70°C. The assay was tested for its applicability in clinical practice. For this purpose, 114 atezolizumab patient samples were measured. CONCLUSION A multiplex UPLC-MS/MS assay was developed and validated to quantify atezolizumab, avelumab, and durvalumab in human serum. The applicability of this method was demonstrated by the analysis of clinical atezolizumab samples. The method is suitable to support clinical pharmacokinetic studies involving atezolizumab, avelumab, or durvalumab.

Abstract
The present study aimed to elucidate the pathway of pigment formation and identify the source of antioxidant activity during sugar smoking. Building upon previous research, this investigation replicated the sucrose cleavage process involved in sugar-smoking through model reactions to obtain distinct model reaction products. The products were analyzed using various techniques such as ultraviolet-visible spectrometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The findings revealed that the pyrolysis of sucrose at 330 °C yielded glucose and fructose, with fructose pyrolysis producing significantly more 5-HMF than glucose. Moreover, the antioxidant capacity of 5-HMF was found to make a substantial contribution. The primary source of 5-HMF was identified as fructose resulting from the cleavage of sucrose at 330 °C, while the primary pathway for the formation of the sugar-smoking pigment 5-GGMF was attributed to the intermolecular dehydration of 5-HMF and glucose at 150 °C.

Abstract
The carryover of trace allergens in complex food matrices poses challenges for detection techniques. Here, we demonstrate an accurate UPLC-MS/MS quantification assay for the shrimp allergen tropomyosin with a full-length isotope-labelled recombinant tropomyosin (TM-I) internal standard in complex food matrices. The TM-I, expressed based on the SILAC technique, exhibited a high isotope labelling ratio (>99%), purity, and alignment with the natural sequence. This method determined the tropomyosin ranging from 0.2 to 100 ng/mL. Mean recoveries ranged from 89 to 116%, with intra- and inter-day RSDs below 12%, for three signature peptides across three types of commercially processed food matrices. The limits of quantitation were 1 μg/g in pop food and sauce, and 10 μg/g in surimi product, respectively. This study supports the use of recombinant full-length isotope-labelled proteins rather than stable-isotope labelling peptides as internal standards to achieve more accurate quantitation of food allergens as the digestion error is corrected.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The application of Cortex Mori (CM) in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been extensively documented in traditional medicine. In recent years, the chemical composition of CM has been gradually unraveled, and its therapeutic mechanism in treating DM, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and other related conditions has been highlighted in successive reports. However, there is no systematic study on the treatment of DM based on the chemical composition of CM. AIM OF THE STUDY This study was conducted to systematically explore the hypoglycemic activity mechanism of CM based on its chemical composition. METHODS The material basis of Cortex Mori extract (CME) was investigated through qualitative analyses based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The possible acting mechanism was simulated using network pharmacology and validated in streptozotocin (STZ) + high fat diet (HFD)-induced diabetic rats and glucosamine-induced IR-HepG2 model with the assistance of molecular docking techniques. RESULTS A total of 39 compounds were identified in CME by the LC-MS-based qualitative analysis. In diabetic rats, it was demonstrated that CME significantly ameliorated insulin resistance, blood lipid levels, and liver injury. The network pharmacology analysis predicted five major targets, including AKT1, PI3K, FoxO1, Gsk-3β, and PPARγ. Additionally, three key compounds (resveratrol, protocatechuic acid, and kaempferol) were selected based on their predicted contributions. The experimental results revealed that CME, resveratrol, protocatechuic acid, and kaempferol could promote the expression of AKT1, PI3K, and PPARγ, while inhibiting the expression of FoxO1 and Gsk-3β. The molecular docking results indicated a strong binding affinity between resveratrol/kaempferol and their respective targets. CONCLUSIONS CME contains a substantial amount of prenylated flavonoids, which may be the focal point of research on the efficacy of CM in the treatment of DM. Besides, CME is effective in controlling blood glucose and insulin resistance, improving lipid levels, and mitigating liver injury in patients with DM. Relevant mechanisms may be associated with the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway, the inhibition of the expression of FoxO1 and Gsk-3β, and the enhancement of PPARγ activity. This study represents the first report on the role of CME in the treatment of DM through regulating PPARγ, FoxO1, and Gsk-3β.

Abstract
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has become an objective and updated surveillance strategy for monitoring and estimating consumption trends of psychoactive substances (PSs) in the population. Firstly, magnetic shrimp shell biochar-based adsorbent (DZMBC) was synthesized and employed for extraction trace PSs from municipal wastewater. Proper pyrolysis temperature and increased KOH activator content favored the pore structure and surface area, thus facilitating extraction. DZMBC delivered exceptional extraction performance such as pH stability, anti-interference property, fast magnetic separation ability, reusability, and reproducibility. Then, a method based on magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) followed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed, validated, and utilized for the quantitative determination of five PSs in real wastewater samples. Methodological validation results indicated a favorable linearity, low method limits of detection (1.00-4.75 ng/L), and good precisions (intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations < 4.8%). Finally, an objective snapshot of Chongqing drug use and consumption pattern was obtained. Methamphetamine (MAMP) and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) were the prevalent illegal drugs in local. Both concentrations and per capita consumption of MDMA displayed a change (P < 0.05) between July and September, while no statistical differences were observed for each week.

Abstract
Penthorum chinense Pursh (PCP), as a traditional medicine of Miao nationality in China, is often used for the treatment of various liver diseases. At present, information regarding the in vivo process of PCP is lacking. Herein, a sensitive and robust ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the quantification of several components to study their pharmacokinetics, tissues distribution and excretion in normal and acute alcoholic liver injury (ALI) rats. Prepared samples were separated on a Thermo C18 column (4.6 mm × 50 mm, 2.4 μm) using water containing 0.1 % formic acid (A) and acetonitrile (B) as the mobile phase for gradient elution. Negative electrospray ionization was performed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode for each component. The validated UPLC-MS/MS assay gave good linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery rate, matrix effect and stability. This method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and excretion in normal and acute ALI rats. There were differences in pharmacokinetic process, tissue distribution and excretion characteristics, indicating that ALI had a significant influence on the in vivo process of PCP in rats. The research provided an experimental basis for the study of PCP quality control and further application in the clinic.

Abstract
Persicaria capitata (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) H. Gross, a traditional Chinese medicinal plant, is often used to treat various urologic disorders in China. P. capitata extracts (PCE) have been used in combination with levofloxacin (LVFX) to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) for a long time. However, little is known about the absorption of LVFX and transporter expression in the intestine after combined treatment with PCE, restricting the development and utilization of PCE. In view of this, a UPLC-MS/MS method was established for the determination of LVFX in intestinal sac fluid samples and in situ intestinal circulation perfusate samples to explore the effect of PCE on the intestinal absorption characteristics of LVFX ex vivo and in vivo. To further evaluate the interaction between LVFX and PCE, western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and RT-qPCR were utilized to determine the expression levels of drug transporters (OATP1A2, P-gp, BCRP, and MRP2) involved in the intestinal absorption of LVFX after combined treatment with PCE. Using the everted intestinal sac model, the absorption rate constant (Ka) and cumulative drug absorption (Q) of LVFX in each intestinal segment were significantly lower in groups treated with PCE than in the control group. Ka at 2 h decreased most in the colon segment (from 0.088 to 0.016 µg/h·cm2), and Q at 2 h decreased most in the duodenum (from 213.29 to 33.92 µg). Using the intestinal circulation perfusion model, the Ka value and percentage absorption rate (A) of LVFX in the small intestine decreased significantly when PCE and LVFX were used in combination. These results showed that PCE had a strong inhibitory effect on the absorption of LVFX in the rat small intestine (ex vivo and in vivo intestinal segments). In addition, PCE increased the protein and mRNA expression levels of efflux transporters (P-gp, BCRP, and MRP2) and decreased the expression of the uptake transporter OATP1A2 significantly. The effects increased as the PCE concentration increased. These findings indicated that PCE changed the absorption characteristics of levofloxacin, possibly by affecting the expression of transporters in the small intestine. In addition to revealing a herb-drug interaction (HDI) between PCE and LVFX, these results provide a basis for further studies of their clinical efficacy and mechanism of action.

Abstract
Malaria remains a major health concern, aggravated by emerging resistance of the parasite to existing treatments. The World Health Organization recently endorsed the use of artesunate-pyronaridine to treat uncomplicated malaria. However, there is a lack of clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) data of pyronaridine, particularly in special populations such as children and pregnant women. Existing methods for the quantification of pyronaridine in biological matrices to support PK studies exhibit several drawbacks. These include limited sensitivity, a large sample volume required, and extensive analysis time. To overcome these limitations, an ultra-performance reversed-phase liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry method to determine pyronaridine was developed and validated according to international guidelines. The method enabled fast and accurate quantification of pyronaridine in whole blood across a clinically relevant concentration range of 0.500-500 ng/mL (r2 ≥ 0.9963), with a required sample volume of 50 µL. Pyronaridine was extracted from whole blood using liquid-liquid extraction, effectively eliminating the matrix effect and preventing ion enhancement or suppression. The method achieved a satisfactory reproducible sample preparation recovery of 77%, accuracy (as bias) and precision were within ±8.2% and ≤5.3%, respectively. Stability experiments demonstrated that pyronaridine was stable for up to 315 days when stored at -70°C. Adjustments to the chromatographic system substantially reduced carry-over and improved sensitivity compared to prior methods. The method was successfully applied to quantify pyronaridine in whole blood samples from a selection of pregnant malaria patients participating in the PYRAPREG clinical trial (PACTR202011812241529) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, demonstrating its suitability to support future PK studies. Furthermore, the enhanced sensitivity allows for the determination of pyronaridine up to 42 days post-treatment initiation, enabling assessment of the terminal elimination half-life.

Abstract
Areca nuts have been used as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. Recent studies have shown that it exhibits good pharmacological activity and toxicity. In this study, the pharmacokinetics of five major components of areca nut extract in rats were investigated using a highly sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method. Arecoline, arecaidine, guvacoline, guvacine, and catechin were separated and quantified accurately using gradient elution with mobile phases of (A) water containing 0.1 % formic acid-10 mM ammonium formate, and (B) methanol. The constituents were detected under a timing switch between the positive and negative ion modes using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Each calibration curve had a high R2 value of >0.99. The method accuracies ranged -7.09-11.05 % and precision values were less than 14.36 %. The recovery, matrix effect, selectivity, stability, and carry-over of the method were in accordance with the relevant requirements. It was successfully applied for the investigation of the pharmacokinetics of these five constituents after oral administration of areca nut extract. Pharmacokinetic results indirectly indicated a metabolic relationship between the four areca nut alkaloids in rats. For further clarification of its pharmacodynamic basis, this study provided a theoretical reference.

Abstract
Background Natural nanoparticles have been found to exist in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoctions. However, whether natural nanoparticles can influence the oral bioavailability of active compounds has not been elucidated. Using Xie-Bai-San decoction (XBSD) as an example, the purpose of this study was to isolate, characterize and elucidate the mechanism of the nanoparticles (N-XBSD) in XBSD, and further to explore whether the bioavailability of the main active compounds could be enhanced by N-XBSD. Methods N-XBSD were isolated from XBSD, and investigated its characterization and study of its formation mechanism, and evaluation of its ability to enhance bioavailability of active compounds. Results The N-XBSD was successfully isolated with the average particle size of 104.53 nm, PDI of 0.27 and zeta potential of -5.14 mV. Meanwhile, all the eight active compounds were most presented in N-XBSD. Kukoamine B could self-assemble with mulberroside A or liquiritin to form nanoparticles, respectively. And the FT-IR and HRMS results indicated the possible binding of the ammonium group of kukoamine B with the phenolic hydroxyl group of mulberroside A or liquiritin, respectively. The established UPLC-MS/MS method was accurate and reliable and met the quantitative requirements. The pharmacokinetic behaviors of the N-XBSD and decoction were similar in rats. Most notably, compared to that of free drugs, the Cmax, AUC0-∞, AUC0-t, T1/2 and MRT0-∞ values of index compounds were the higher in N-XBSD, with a slower plasma clearance rate in rats. Conclusion The major active compounds of XBSD were mainly distributed in N-XBSD, and N-XBSD was formed through self-assembly among active compounds. N-XBSD could obviously promote the bioavailability of active compounds, indicating natural nanoparticles of decoctions play an important role in therapeutic effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultra-performance Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) is widely used for concentration detection of many Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs), including afatinib, crizotinib, and osimertinib. In order to analyze whether pralsetinib takes effect in Rearranged during Transfection (RET)-positive patients with central nervous system metastasis, we aimed to develop a method for the detection of pralsetinib concentrations in human plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) by UPLC-MS/MS. METHODS The method was developed using the external standard method, and method validation included precision, accuracy, stability, extraction recovery, and matrix effect. Working solutions were all obtained based on stock solutions of pralsetinib of 1mg/mL. The plasma/CSF samples were precipitated by acetonitrile for protein precipitation and then separated on an ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column (2.1×100 mm, 1.8 µm) with a gradient elution using 0.1% formic acid (solution A) and acetonitrile (solution B) as mobile phases at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The tandem mass spectrometry was performed by a triple quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometry system (QTRAPTM 6500+) with an electrospray ion (ESI) source and Analyst 1.7.2 data acquisition system. Data were collected in Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) and positive ionization mode. RESULTS A good linear relationship of pralsetinib in both plasma and CSF was successfully established, and the calibration ranges were found to be 1.0-64.0 µg/mL and 50.0ng/mL-12.8 µg/mL for pralsetinib in the plasma and CSF, respectively. Validation was performed, including calibration assessment, selectivity, precision, accuracy, matrix effect, extraction recovery, and stability, and all results have been found to be acceptable. The method has been successfully applied to pralsetinib concentration detection in a clinical sample, and the concentrations have been found to be 475ng/mL and 61.55 µg/mL in the CSF and plasma, respectively. CONCLUSION We have developed a quick and effective method for concentration detection in both plasma and CSF, and it can be applied for drug monitoring in clinical practice. The method can also provide a reference for further optimization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fig (Ficus carica L.) fruit is consumed worldwide as a functional food. It contains phytochemicals that have been related to health benefits. However, the characteristic chemicals remain unclear. In this work, phytochemicals were prepared from figus by ultrasound-assisted extraction under optimized conditions. The chemical composition of fig fruit and leaves was characterized by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). RESULTS One hundred and fifty-seven compounds were identified, including 58 flavonoids, 29 coumarins, 19 acids, 15 terpenoids, 11 alkaloids, and 25 other compounds. The mass spectrum (MS) fragmentation pathways of representative chemicals were elucidated. Flavonoid glycosides and prenylated flavonoids were mainly present in fig fruit, whereas coumarins were abundant in leaves. Both fig fruit and leaf extracts showed good cellular antioxidant activity. CONCLUSION The full phytochemical profile of fig was revealed by UPLC-MS/MS. Prenylated flavonoids and prenylated coumarins were the characteristic phytochemicals. These data provided useful information for the extensive utilization of fig fruit in functional food. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Derivatives of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), also known as oxylipins, are key participants in regulating inflammation. Neuroinflammation is involved in many neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease. The development of ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) facilitated the study of oxylipins on a system level, i.e., the analysis of oxylipin profiles. We analyzed oxylipin profiles in the blood plasma of 36 healthy volunteers (HC) and 73 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), divided into early (L\M, 29 patients) or advanced (H, 44 patients) stages based on the Hoehn and Yahr scale. Among the 40 oxylipins detected, we observed a decrease in the concentration of arachidonic acid (AA) and AA derivatives, including anandamide (AEA) and Leukotriene E4 (LTE4), and an increase in the concentration of hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids 19-HETE and 12-HETE (PD vs HC). Correlation analysis of gender, age of PD onset, and disease stages revealed 20 compounds the concentration of which changed depending on disease stage. Comparison of the acquired oxylipin profiles to openly available PD patient brain transcriptome datasets showed that plasma oxylipins do not appear to directly reflect changes in brain metabolism at different disease stages. However, both the L\M and H stages are characterized by their own oxylipin profiles - in patients with the H stage oxylipin synthesis is increased, while in patients with L\M stages oxylipin synthesis decreases compared to HC. This suggests that different therapeutic approaches may be more effective for patients at early versus late stages of PD.

Abstract
In this paper, an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for quantifying the levels of crassicauline A, fuziline, karacoline, and songorine in rat plasma. After processing the rat plasma, the proteins in the plasma were separated by extracting the analytes with acetonitrile-methanol (9:1, v/v). The chromatographic column used was the UPLC HSS T3 column, and the mobile phase (methanol-water with 0.1% formic acid) under a gradient elution profile was used to separate the four compounds, with elution times for each analyte being less than 5 min. Electrospray ionization in positive-ion mode and operating in multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for quantitative analysis. Crassicauline A, fuziline, karacoline, and songorine were administered to 48 rats (n = 6 per group) orally (5 mg/kg) and intravenously (0.5 mg/kg). The standard curves demonstrated excellent linearity in the range of 1-2500 ng/mL, wherein all r values were greater than 0.99. The UPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of crassicauline A, fuziline, karacoline, and songorine in rat plasma was successfully applied in determining their pharmacokinetics parameters, from which their oral bioavailabilities were calculated to be 18.7%, 4.3%, 6.0%, and 8.4%, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The fruits of the genus Rosa, commonly known as rosehips, have attracted significant attention owing to their rich content of various bioactive compounds. However, their utility is generally secondary to the ornamental appeal of their flowers. This study aimed to explore the quality differences among tea-scented rosehips found in Yunnan, China, including those of Rosa odorata var. odorata (RO), Rosa odorata var. gigantea (RG), and Rosa yangii (RY). Morphological characteristics, chemical composition, and antioxidant activity of their fruits were evaluated. RESULTS The study revealed significant variability in composition and biological activities based on fruit color. RO exhibited the highest levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, carotenoids, and vitamin C, with the strongest antioxidant activity (10.99 μmol Trolox·g-1 ), followed by RG (7.91 μmol Trolox·g-1 ) and RY (6.52 μmol Trolox·g-1 ). This supports RO's potential as a functional food source. Untargeted metabolomics identified and quantified 502 metabolites, with flavonoids (171) and phenolic acids (147) as the main metabolites. The differential metabolites among the fruits are primarily enriched for flavonoid biosynthesis and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathways. Insights into color formation supported the role of anthocyanins, flavones, and flavonols in fruit color variation. CONCLUSION Tea-scented rosehips offer vibrant colors and high nutritional value with potent biological activities. Rosa odorata var. odorata stands out as a functional food source owing to its rich bioactive compounds. These findings lay the groundwork for utilizing rosehips in functional foods, health supplements, and food additives, emphasizing the practical and beneficial applications of Rosa spp. independent of their ornamental value. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a sensitive and fast detection method via ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to assess the concentration of ajuforrestin A, ajuforrestin B, ajugamacrin and 8-O-Acetylharpagide primarily derived from Ajuga plants in mice blood and their pharmacokinetics. METHODS Single protein precipitation with high-proportioned acetonitrile is chosen for sample clean-up. The UPLC HSS T3 (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 µm) column with a mobile phase in gradient elution mode at the flow rate of 0.4 mL/min was used for sample separation. Acetonitrile was selected as the organic phase solution and water containing 0.1% formic acid was chosen as the aqueous solution. A tandem mass spectrometer containing an electrospray ionization (ESI) source in the positive ionization mode was used to detect four compounds via multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). RESULTS The calibration curves (5-1000 ng/mL) of four compounds were linear with correlation coefficients > 0.997. The matrix effects, accuracy, precision, and recovery were all within permissible scope. CONCLUSIONS In this approach, the corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters were successfully clarified in mouse for the first time, which provided a theoretical basis for the improvement of the standard of Ajuga plants and the safety of clinical medication. Furthermore, this method may provide the UPLC-MS/MS evidence for the differentiation of the main close relative varieties of genus Ajuga according to these plants contain different mixtures of the four marker compounds.

Abstract
A reliable and sensitive UPLC-MS/MS method coupled with HLB-SPE was developed for simultaneous determination of T-2 and its modified forms (HT-2, NEO, T-2-triol, T-2-tetraol, T-2-3G, and HT-2-3G) in cereals and cereal-based products. Acceptable linearity (R2 ≥ 0.99), limits of quantitation (0.5-10.0 μg/kg), intra-day precision (RSD < 12.8 %), inter-day precision (RSD ≤ 15.8 %), and recovery (76.8 %-115.2 %) were obtained for all analytes in all matrices investigated. 107 commercial foodstuffs were analyzed, and T-2 was detected in 29.0 % of maize and maize flour samples (0.51 to 56.61 μg/kg) and in 10-33.3 % of wheat flour and barley samples (1.27 to 78.51 μg/kg). Moreover, 66.7 % of the positive samples were simultaneously contaminated with two or more T-2 forms. The possible health risk related to T-2 and its modified forms in cereals and cereal-based products was evaluated using a probabilistic dietary exposure assessment. The 95th percentile dietary exposure values of the sum of T-2 forms ranged from 0.16 to 1.70 ng/kg b.w./day for lower bound (LB), and 0.17 to 7.59 ng/kg b.w./day for upper bound (UB). Results strongly suggested that the presence of T-2 and its modified forms in cereals and cereal-based products warrants greater attention and investigation, although probabilistic dietary exposure values currently remain below the tolerable daily intake (TDI) value of 20 ng/kg b.w./day.

Abstract
Honey is well-known as a food product that is rich in active ingredients and is very popular among consumers. Free amino acids (FAAs) are one of the important nutritional components of honey, which can be used not only as a nutritional indicator of honey but also as an indicator of plant source identification. In this study, the contents of 20 FAAs in seven types of honey from 11 provinces in China were examined for the first time. The 20 FAAs were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). By analyzing 93 honey samples from seven types of honey, the FAAs were found to range from 394.4 mg/kg (linden honey) to 1771.7 mg/kg (chaste honey). Proline ranged from 274.55 to 572.48 mg/kg, and methionine was only present in some of the linden honey, chaste honey, acacia honey, and rape honey. Evaluated by amino acid principal component analysis, multifloral grassland honey had the highest overall evaluation score, acacia and jujube honey were the most similar, while chaste honey was the least similar to the other types of honey. In addition, DNA was extracted from 174 Xinjiang grassland honey samples and different plant leaves for PCR and sequencing to identify the species of nectar plants. As a result, 12 families and 25 species of honey plants were identified. The results confirmed the diversity of FAAs in dissimilar types and sources of honey. This study provides a reference for expanding honey quality standards and verifying the authenticity of honey.

Abstract
Trisiloxane ethoxylates (TSEOn) are widely used as agricultural surfactants due to their significant synergism with the active ingredients of pesticides, generally, including three typical end groups which are hydroxyl (TSEOn-H), methoxy (TSEOn-CH3), and acetoxy (TSEOn-COCH3), respectively. However, the potential ecotoxicological and endocrine-disrupting risks of TSEOn congeners have recently attracted ever-growing concern. Above all, there is limited research on the concentration levels of TSEOn in agroecosystems. This study, simultaneous analysis of 39 TSEOn oligomers in citrus orchard soils in China was implemented by the modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) extraction coupled with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The method detection limits (MDLs) and the method quantification limits (MQLs) for TSEOn were 0.003-0.07 μg/kg and 0.01-0.20 μg/kg, respectively. The recoveries for TSEOn oligomers in soils ranged from 81 % ∼ 106 % with related standard deviations (RSDs) < 7 %. This newly developed UPLC-MS/MS method with high sensitivity and stability allows us to successfully trace the occurrence of TSEOn congeners in the citrus orchard soils from 3 provinces and 1 municipality in China. The detected concentrations of TSEOn-H oligomers in the sampled soils ranged from 0.02 to 0.288 μg/kg (dry weight). The congener profiles of TSEOn-H were dominated by TSEOn-H (n = 6- 8) in the soils. Additionally, the total concentrations of TSEOn-H congeners (ΣTSEOn-H) in the soils were in the range of 0.03 to 1.49 μg/kg. A comparison of ΣTSEOn-H distribution among the different citrus orchard soils indicated a higher level of ΣTSEOn-H in the soil samples collected from Zhejiang Province. Notably, TSEOn-CH3 or TSEOn-COCH3 oligomers were not detected in the tested soils. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the occurrence and distribution of TSEOn congeners in agricultural soils.

Abstract
In this study, we employed a melamine sponge (MS) as the skeleton material and utilized carbonized ZIF-8 (CZIF-8) and chitosan (CS) as the raw materials to prepare CZIF-8/CS-MS, a novel material featuring a three-dimensional interconnected porous network. The resulting CZIF-8/CS-MS material possesses a unique porous structure, significant specific surface area and abundant active sites. These characteristics make CZIF-8/CS-MS a promising absorbent for selective purification of plant growth regulators (PGRs) including 1-naphthlcetic acid (NAA), naphthoxyacetic acid (NOA), 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). After optimizing the extraction conditions, excellent linearity (r > 0.9994) was observed within a wide linear range of 1-100 ng/mL using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry. The detection limits (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were found to be in the range of 0.013-0.154 ng/mL and 0.044-0.515 ng/mL, respectively. Additionally, the relative recovery of Schisandra chinensis fruit samples was determined to be 89.7-99.4 %, with a relative standard deviation (RSDs) of ≤ 8.4 % (n = 3). Compared to other methods, this approach offers a multitude of benefits, which include but are not limited to exceptional sensitivity, reduced sample volume requirements, low LODs, a comparable linear range, and high reproducibility. The findings of this study pave the way for exploring novel functionalized sponge columns, which leverage the integration of nano-sorbent materials and coating agents, for the purpose of analyzing PGRs within intricate matrix samples.

Abstract
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is highly effective for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. ART previously consisted of concomitant administration of many drugs, multiple times per day. Currently, ART generally consists of two- or three-drug regimens once daily as fixed-dose combinations. Drug monitoring may be necessary to ensure adequate concentrations are achieved in the plasma over the dosing interval and prevent further HIV resistance formation. Additionally, nonadherence remains an issue, highlighting the need to ensure sufficient ART exposure. Towards this effort, we developed and validated a highly selective ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of a panel of nine antiretrovirals: abacavir, bictegravir, cabotegravir, dolutegravir, doravirine, emtricitabine, lamivudine, raltegravir, and tenofovir in human plasma. Using only 50 µL of plasma, a simple protein precipitation with acetonitrile with internal standards followed by reconstitution in 50 uL (high) or 400 uL (low) was performed. Analyte separation was achieved using a multistep UPLC gradient mixture of (A: 0.1% formic acid in water and B: acetonitrile) and a Waters CORTECS T3 (2.1 ×100 mm) column. The method was comprehensively validated according to the United States Food and Drug Administration Bioanalytical Guidelines over two clinically relevant ranges (1-250 ng/mL and 100-5000 ng/mL) with excellent linearity (R2 > 0.99 for all). The assay run time was 7.5 min. This method achieves acceptable performance of trueness (89.7-104.1%), repeatability, and precision (CV <15%), and allows for simultaneous quantification of guideline-recommended ART regimens. This method can be utilized for the therapeutic monitoring of antiretrovirals in human plasma.

Abstract
In this study, two intramammary infusions of cefquinome sulfate were investigated for pharmacokinetics and bioavailability. Twelve lactating cows for each group were administered an effective dose of 75 mg/gland for cefquinome, with milk samples collected at various time intervals. The concentrations of cefquinome in milk at different times were determined by the UPLC-MS/MS method. Analyses of noncompartmental pharmacokinetics were conducted on the concentration of cefquinome in milk. Mean pharmacokinetic parameters of group A and group B following intramammary administration were as follows: AUClast 300558.57 ± 25052.78 ng/mL and 266551.3 ± 50654.85 ng/mL, Cmax 51786.35 ± 11948.4 ng/mL and 59763.7 ± 8403.2 ng/mL, T1/2 5.69 ± 0.62 h and 5.25 ± 1.62 h, MRT 7.43 ± 0.79 h and 4.8 ± 0.78 h, respectively. Pharmacokinetic experiments showed that the relative bioavailability of group B was 88.69% that of group A. From our findings, group B (3 g: 75 mg) shows a quicker drug elimination process than group A (8 g: 75 mg), which suggests that the withdrawal period for the new formulation may be shorter.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) is an effective substance from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) G. biloba for treating ischaemic stroke (IS). However, its active ingredients and mechanism of action remain unclear. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to reveal the potential active component group and possible anti-IS mechanism of GBE. MATERIALS AND METHODS The network pharmacology method was used to reveal the possible anti-IS mechanism of these active ingredients in GBE. An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was established for the simultaneous detection of the active ingredients of GBE. RESULTS The active components of GBE anti-IS were screened by literature integration. Network pharmacology results showed that the anti-IS effect of GBE is achieved through key active components such as protocatechuic acid, bilobalide, ginkgolide A, and so on. Gene Ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis showed that the possible anti-IS mechanism of GBE is regulating the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway and other signal pathways closely related to inflammatory response and apoptosis regulation combined with AKT1, MAPK, TNF, ALB, CASP3, and other protein targets. Nineteen main constituents in seven batches of GBE were successfully analysed using the established UPLC-MS/MS method, and the results showed that the content of protocatechuic acid, gallic acid, ginkgolide A, and so forth was relatively high, which was consistent with network pharmacology results, indicating that these ingredients may be the key active anti-IS ingredients of GBE. CONCLUSION This study revealed the key active components and the anti-IS mechanism of GBE. It also provided a simple and sensitive method for the quality control of related preparations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aberrant sialylation is closely associated with the tumorigenesis, progression, and metastasis, and may be of importance for disease diagnosis. However, the analysis of altered expression of sialylated glycans (SGs) in blood is particularly challenging due to the low content and poor ionization efficiency of sialylated glycans in mass spectrometry. METHODS An analytical strategy based on enrichment of SGs, liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometric detection, and automatic glycan annotation was developed to profile the sialylated N-glycome in serum. The enrichment of sialylated glycans was accomplished using cationic cotton via electrostatic and hydrogen interaction. Using partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), the approach was applied for nontarget screening and profiling of aberrant sialylated N-glycans in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). RESULTS 55 SGs were identified in human serum, and three important SGs (SG35, SG45, and SG46) were screened to have good diagnostic specificity for HCC. Their areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) were higher than α-fetoprotein (AFP)'s (AUC = 0.85), at 0.88, 0.87, and 0.91, respectively. When three SGs are combined, the diagnostic specificity for HCC may increase to 94 %. The fact that SGs biomarkers are sensitive to AFP-Negative HCC is very noteworthy. CONCLUSIONS The method significantly advanced the search for sialylated glycan-based cancer biomarkers. In comparison to traditional indicators like AFP and imaging tools, SGs showed a higher diagnostic sensitivity for HCC.

Abstract
A high-throughput therapeutic monitoring method was developed for repaglinide (RPG) in diabetic patients, combining parallel artificial liquid membrane extraction (PALME) with ultraperformance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS). PALME was performed using a 96-well donor plate comprising a donor solution containing a plasma sample, 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH = 8.0), and cetirizine (CTZ) as internal standard. A polypropylene (PP) porous membrane served as a selective support for the liquid membrane (SLM), preventing nonspecific binding produced by other membranes. The extraction was accomplished across SLM made of PP membrane with dodecyl acetate and 1 % trioctylamine (w/w), and the acceptor solution comprised DMSO and 200 mM formic acid (50:50, v/v). The simple workflow for PALME provided analyte enrichment, highly efficient sample cleanup, high throughput analysis, and excellent reproducibility. Method validation met FDA criteria, with a linear plasma calibration range (0.1-100 ng mL-1, r = 0.9995) and a lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 0.1 ng mL-1. Recovery results at 98.9 % affirmed method reliability. The ability to analyze 198 samples per hour, coupled with a reduced amount of solvents, underscores the method's high throughput and eco-friendly profile. The PALME-UPLC-ESI-MS/MS method was successfully applied to therapeutic drug monitoring of RPG in diabetic patients following 2 mg RPG tablet administration, establishing its effectiveness.

Abstract
Exposure to mycotoxins through food is a major health concern, especially for youngsters. This study performed a preliminary investigation on children's exposure to dietary mycotoxins in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. Sampling procedures were conducted between August and December 2022, to collect foods (N = 213) available for consumption in the households of children (N = 67), including preschoolers (aged 3-6 years, n = 21), schoolers (aged 7-10 years, n = 15), and adolescents (aged 11-17 years, n = 31) cared in the Vila Lobato Community Social Medical Center of Ribeirão Preto. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to determine concentrations of the mycotoxins in foods. Mycotoxins measured in all foods comprised aflatoxins (AFs), fumonisins (FBs), zearalenone (ZEN), T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol (DON) and ochratoxin A (OTA). Higher incidence and levels were found for FBs, ZEN, and DON in several commonly consumed foods. Furthermore, 32.86 % foods had two to four quantifiable mycotoxins in various combinations. The mean estimated daily intake (EDI) values were lower than the tolerable daily intake (TDI) for AFs, FBs, and ZEN, but higher than the TDI (1.0 µg/kg bw/day) for DON, hence indicating a health risk for all children age groups. Preschoolers and adolescents were exposed to DON through wheat products (EDIs: 2.696 ± 7.372 and 1.484 ± 2.395 µg/kg body weight (bw)/day, respectively), while schoolers were exposed through wheat products (EDI: 1.595 ± 1.748 µg/kg bw/day) and rice (EDI: 1.391 ± 1.876 µg/kg bw/day). The results indicate that wheat-based foods and rice may be risky to children, implying the need for stringent measures to avoid DON contamination in these products.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a potent cytotoxic agent used in the treatment of various malignancies and exerts its antitumor effect through malignant cell DNA damage and apoptosis induction. Evaluation of systemic delivery of cisplatin is important in optimization of cisplatin treatment. However, accurate quantification of systemic cisplatin is challenging due to its various forms in circulation. This study aimed to develop a sensitive (LOQ < 0.1 µg/mL) and precise Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) - Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS) method for quantifying free cisplatin in microdialysates and plasma. Furthermore the aim was to compare free cisplatin concentrations measured in standard plasma samples with those obtained from intravenous microdialysis catheters in a porcine model. The method developed utilizes dichloro(ethylenediamine)platinum(II) as an internal standard that co-elutes with cisplatin, ensuring precise correction for ion suppression/enhancement effects. The method was validated, demonstrating linearity up to 100 µg/mL and good intermediate precision (CV% < 6 %) in the range of 1.0-100 µg/mL, with an LOQ of 0.03 µg/mL. The pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC0-last, Cmax, T1/2, and Tmax) showed no significant differences between the two sampling methods. This validated LC-MS/MS method provides a reliable tool for quantifying systemic free cisplatin concentrations, facilitating future systemic and local pharmacokinetic evaluations for optimization of cisplatin-based cancer treatments.

Abstract
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) quality and composition are mainly affected by genetics, agronomic and technological parameters, undergoing further modifications during storage. In this work, a chemometric approach was applied to study the impact of olive maturity, malaxation time/temperature, and oil storage on the quality and compositional parameters of Arbequina EVOO (basic quality indices, volatile and sensory profiles, contents in phenolic compounds, squalene, vitamin E and fatty acids). Storage emerged as the most influential factor, followed by olive maturity and malaxation temperature, while malaxation time had almost no effect. Storage at room temperature had a significant impact on the phenolic profile and quality parameters, mainly the peroxide value and K270. The determination of K270, an indicator of secondary oxidation products, was relevant to analyze the effect of storage conditions. Volatile compounds and fatty acids were good markers of ripeness, and the volatile profile was highly affected by malaxation temperature.

Abstract
In this present study, we developed a reliable and simple ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) assay for the simultaneous quantification of paeoniflorin, albiflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and isomaltopaeoniflorin in beagle dog plasma. We also analyzed the pharmacokinetics of those components after oral administration of fried Radix Paeoniae Alba (FRPA) in beagle dogs. Plasma samples were processed by protein precipitation with methanol. Chromatographic separation was performed with a Waters HSS-T3 C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.8 μm, kept at 40°C) using multiple reaction monitoring mode. A gradient elution procedure was used with solvent A (0.02% formic acid-water) and solvent B (0.02% formic acid-acetonitrile) as mobile phases. Method validation was performed as US Food and Drug Administration guidelines, and the results met the acceptance criteria. The method we establish in this experiment was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study after oral administration of FRPA extract to beagle dogs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paeonia lactiflora Pall. (PLP) is a plant with excellent ornamental and therapeutic value that can be utilized in traditional Chinese medicine as Paeoniae Radix Alba (PRA) and Paeoniae Radix Rubra (PRR). PRA must undergo the "peeling" process, which involves removing the cork and a portion of the phloem. PLP's biological function is strongly linked to its secondary metabolites, and the distribution of metabolites in different regions of the PLP rhizome causes changes in efficacy when PLP is processed into various therapeutic compounds. METHODS The metabolites of the cork (cor), phloem (phl), and xylem (xyl) were examined in the roots of PLP using a metabolomics approach based on UPLC-Q-Exactive-Orbitrap-MS/MS (UPLC-MS/MS), and the differential metabolites were evaluated using multivariate analysis. RESULTS Significant changes were observed among the cor, phl, and xyl samples. In both positive and negative ion modes, a total of 15,429 peaks were detected and 7366 metabolites were identified. A total of 525 cor-phl differential metabolites, 452 cor-xyl differential metabolites, and 328 phl-xyl differential metabolites were evaluated. Flavonoids, monoterpene glycosides, fatty acids, sugar derivatives, and carbohydrates were among the top 50 dissimilar chemicals. The key divergent metabolic pathways include linoleic acid metabolism, galactose metabolism, ABC transporters, arginine biosynthesis, and flavonoid biosynthesis. CONCLUSION The cor, phl, and xyl of PLP roots exhibit significantly different metabolite types and metabolic pathways; therefore, "peeling" may impact the pharmaceutical effect of PLP. This study represents the first metabolomics analysis of the PLP rhizome, laying the groundwork for the isolation and identification of PLP pharmacological activity, as well as the quality evaluation and efficacy exploration of PLP.

Abstract
Broad-spectrum histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have excellent anti-tumor effects, such as abexinostat, which was a novel oral HDACi that was widely used in clinical treatment. The purpose of this study was to establish a rapid and reliable method for the detection of abexinostat concentrations in rat plasma using ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The mobile phase we used was acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid, and the internal standard (IS) was givinostat. Selective reaction monitoring (SRM) was used for detection with ion transitions at m/z 397.93 → 200.19 for abexinostat and m/z 422.01 → 186.11 for givinostat, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precision of abexinostat were less than 11.5% and the intra-day and inter-day accuracy ranged from - 10.7% to 9.7% using this method. During the analysis process, the stability of the test sample was reliable. In addition, the recovery and matrix effects of this method were within acceptable limits. Finally, the method presented in this paper enabled accurate and quick determination of abexinostat levels in rat plasma from the pharmacokinetic study following gavage at a dose of 8.0 mg/kg abexinostat.

Abstract
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and their N-oxides (PANOs) are novel contaminants in tea. However, the source of PA/PANO contamination in tea remains unclear. In this study, 15 PAs/PANOs were extracted from plant samples (tea, fresh tea leaves, and weeds) with 0.1 M sulfuric acid and from soil with 0.1 M sulfuric acid methanol after adjusting soil acidity with 0.1 M trisodium citrate. Satisfactory recoveries of PAs/PANOs from four different matrices at 0.02, 0.1, and 0.5 mg kg-1 was 72%-114% with relative standard deviations (RSD) of 0.03%-16%. Seven out of 15 PAs/PANOs were detected in tea purchased from the local market ranging from undetected to 96.2 μg kg-1. Thirteen, three, and four PAs/PANOs were detected in weeds, fresh tea leaves, and soil, respectively. Based on the types of PAs/PANOs detected in the three matrices, it was preliminarily speculated that PAs/PANOs in tea originated from weeds in the tea garden.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gentiana veitchiorum Hemsl. (GV) has a long history in Tibetan medicine for treating hepatobiliary disease cholestasis. However, the mechanisms mediating its efficacy in treating cholestasis have yet to be determined. AIM To elucidate the mechanisms of action of GV in the treatment of cholestasis, an integrated approach combining ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis with network pharmacology was established. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive analysis of the chemical composition of GV was achieved by UPLC-MS/MS. Subsequently, a network pharmacology method that integrated target prediction, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, gene set enrichment analysis, and a component- target-pathway network was established, and finally, molecular docking and experiments in vitro were conducted to verify the predicted results. RESULTS Twenty compounds that were extracted from GV were identified by UPLC-MS/MS analysis. Core proteins such as AKT1, TNF, and IL6 were obtained through screening in the Network pharmacology PPI network. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of the Genome (KEGG) pathway predicted that GV could treat cholestasis by acting on signaling pathways such as TNF/IL-17 / PI3K-Akt. Network pharmacology suggested that GV might exert a therapeutic effect on cholestasis by regulating the expression levels of inflammatory mediators, and the results were further confirmed by the subsequent construction of an LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cell model. CONCLUSIONS In this study, UPLC-MS/MS analysis, network pharmacology, and experiment validation were used to explore potential mechanisms of action of GV in the treatment of cholestasis.

Abstract
Objective: A remarkably sensitive, accurate, and efficient ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) approach was developed as a facile and expeditious method for measuring cilofexor concentration in beagle dogs, the herb-drug interactions between silybinin and cilofexor was explored based on pharmacokinetics. Methods: The plasma sample protein of the beagles were rapidly sedimented with acetonitrile, and cilofexor and tropifexor (internal standard, ISTD) were separated by gradient elution using a 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The concentrations were detected using positive ion multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Mass transfer pairs were m/z 587.91→267.91 for cilofexor and m/z 604.08→228.03 for ISTD, respectively. A two-period self-controlled experimental design was adopted for the HDIs experiment. In the first period (Group A), six beagle dogs were orally administered cilofexor at a dose of 1 mg/kg. In the second period (Group B), silybinin (3 mg/kg) was orally administered to the six beagle dogs twice a day for seven consecutive days, after which cilofexor was orally administered. The cilofexor concentration in beagle dogs was determined, and HDIs were evaluated based on their pharmacokinetics. Results: The accuracy and precision of cilofexor were both less than 15%, and the recoveries, matrix effects, and stability met the relevant requirements. The Cmax of cilofexor in group B was 49.62% higher than that in group A, whereas the AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-∞) of cilofexor in group B were 47.85% and 48.52% higher, respectively, than those in group A. Meanwhile, the t1/2 extended from 7.84 h to 9.45 h, CL and Vz decreased in Group B. Conclusion: A novel UPLC-MS/MS approach was successfully applied for the measurement of cilofexor in beagle dog plasma. Silybinin can alter the pharmacokinetics of cilofexor in beagle dogs, thereby increasing plasma exposure to cilofexor.

Abstract
Sea buckthorn pomace (SBP) is a by-product of sea buckthorn processing that is rich in bioactive compounds. In this study, different active ingredients were extracted by using different solvents (water, methanol, ethanol, glycerol, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether) combined with an ultrasonic assisted method. The correlation between the active ingredients and antioxidant properties of the extract was studied, which provided a research basis for the comprehensive utilization of SBP. This study revealed that the 75% ethanol extract had the highest total phenolic content (TPC) of 42.86 ± 0.73 mg GAE/g, while the 75% glycerol extract had the highest total flavonoid content (TFC) of 25.52 ± 1.35 mg RTE/g. The ethanol extract exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity at the same concentration compared with other solvents. The antioxidant activity of the ethanol, methanol, and glycerol extracts increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Thirteen phenolic compounds were detected in the SBP extracts using UPLC-MS/MS analysis. Notably, the 75% glycerol extract contained the highest concentration of all identified phenolic compounds, with rutin (192.21 ± 8.19 μg/g), epigallocatechin (105.49 ± 0.69 μg/g), and protocatechuic acid (27.9 ± 2.38 μg/g) being the most abundant. Flavonols were found to be the main phenolic substances in SBP. A strong correlation was observed between TPC and the antioxidant activities of SBP extracts. In conclusion, the choice of solvent significantly influences the active compounds and antioxidant activities of SBP extracts. SBP extracts are a valuable source of natural phenolics and antioxidants.

Abstract
Although levetiracetam (LEV) has favorable linear pharmacokinetic properties, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is necessary for pregnant women with epilepsy. This study aims to build a simple, reliable, and sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for determining LEV concentrations in plasma and saliva samples, to support the routine TDM of LEV in Chinese pregnant women with epilepsy. The stable isotope-labeled LEV-d6 was used as the internal standard. The extracted samples were analyzed using a UPLC-MS/MS system with positive electrospray ionization. Mobile phase A was water containing 5 mM ammonium acetate and 0.1% formic acid, and phase B was 1:1 methanol-acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid. The method was validated and utilized to determine LEV concentrations in non-pregnant and pregnant patients with epilepsy. The developed method was validated in both plasma and saliva samples over a concentration range of 0.1-50 μg/mL. The intra- and inter-batch accuracy for LEV ranged from -7.0% to 2.9%, with precisions between 2.7% and 9.3%. In pregnant patients, the mean dose-standardized LEV trough plasma concentrations were significantly lower than those in non-pregnant patients (4.73 ± 2.99 vs. 7.74 ± 3.59 ng/mL per mg/day; P < 0.0001). It is recommended that the TDM of LEV should be routinely performed during the different stages of pregnancy.

Abstract
The presence of neurotoxin β-N-Methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) in the seeds of Cycas sphaerica is reported for first time. We developed a UPLC-MS/MS method for BMAA quantification by derivatizing with dansyl chloride. The method successfully differentiated L-BMAA from its structural isomer 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (DAB). The extracting mixture 0.1M TCA: ACN 4:1 v/v had a recovery level of >95%. The method is a high throughput sensitive chromatographic technique with 16.42 ng g-1 Limit of Quantification. BMAA was present in the endosperm of C. sphaerica, and was not detected in the leaves and pith. Washing of seeds in running cold water for 48 h reduced BMAA content by 86%. The local communities also treat the seeds under running cold water, but only for 24 h. The results of the study thus validated the traditional BMAA removal process through cold water treatment, but recommend for increase in the treatment period to 48 h or more.

Abstract
Irinotecan (CPT-11), an antineoplastic drug, is used for the treatment of colorectal and pancreatic cancer due to its topoisomerase I inhibitory activity. CPT-11 is a prodrug which is converted to its active metabolite SN-38 by carboxylesterases. SN-38 is further metabolized to its inactive metabolite SN-38 glucuronide. When evaluating the pharmacokinetic properties of CPT-11 and its metabolites, it is important to accurately assess the concentrations in both plasma as well as tumor tissues. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to develop and validate a robust and sensitive ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method to quantify the concentration of CPT-11 and its metabolites (SN-38 and SN-38 glucuronide) in human plasma and peritoneal tumor tissue. The sample preparation of plasma and tumor tissue consisted of protein precipitation and enzymatic digestion/liquid-liquid extraction, respectively. Chromatographic separation was achieved with an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column combined with a VanGuard pre-column. The mobile phases consisted of water +0.1 % formic acid (mobile phase A) and acetonitrile +0.1 % formic acid (mobile phase B). Mass analysis was performed using a Xevo TQS tandem mass spectrometer in the positive electrospray ionization mode. Method validation was successfully performed by assessing linearity, precision and accuracy, lower limit of quantification, carry over, selectivity, matrix effect and stability according to the following guidelines: "Committee for Medicinal Products for Human use, Guideline on Bioanalytical Method Validation". A cross-validation of the developed method was performed in a pilot pharmacokinetic study, demonstrating the usefulness of the current method to quantify CPT-11 and its metabolites in the different matrices.

Abstract
Scutellariae Radix extract is one of the important components in Shuganning Injection. In this study, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS) method was established for simultaneously determining five components in Shuganning Injection and Scutellariae Radix extract in bile, urine, and feces of rats, so as to reveal the difference in the excretion process of Shuganning Injection and Scutellariae Radix extract in rats and explore the law of the excretion process of the five components in vivo before and after the compatibility of Scutellariae Radix. Rats were injected with Shuganning Injection and Scutellariae Radix extract(4.2 mL·kg~(-1)), respectively, and the excretion of baicalin, baicalein, oroxylin A, oroxylin A-7-O-β-D-glucuronide, and scutellarin in bile, urine, and feces of rats in 24 h was observed. The results showed that except for baicalin, the other four index components were excreted as prototype components in a high proportion after intravenous injection of Shuganning Injection and Scutellariae Radix extract in rats, respectively. The excretion of each component was relatively high in urine and less in feces and bile. After the compatibility of Scutellariae Radix extract, the accumulative excretion of five index components in rats all decreased. Among them, the cumulative excretion of baicalein in bile, urine, and feces significantly decreased by 26.67%, 48.11%, and 31.01%. The cumulative excretion of baicalin in bile, urine, and feces decreased significantly by 70.69%, 19.43%, and 31.22%. The result showed that the five index components in Scutellariae Radix extract were mainly excreted by the kidneys, and other components in Shuganning Injection delayed the excretion process and prolonged the residence time. This study is of great significance for elucidating the compatibility rationality of Shuganning Injection.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. is a medicinal and edible homolog in traditional Chinese medicine. Loganin, an iridoid glycoside, is one of the main active components of Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. Loganin has been demonstrated to improve depression-like behavior and may be a potential antidepressant candidate. However, the pharmacokinetic characteristics and tissue distribution of loganin, especially in the brain region, are still unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aims to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and tissue distribution after oral administration of loganin in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS A simple, rapid and reproducible UPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of loganin in rat plasma and tissues. The samples were prepared by acetonitrile precipitation with chloramphenicol as internal standard (IS). Loganin was separated by gradient elution on ACQUITY UPLC®BEH C18 (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) using multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) mode. Concentration-time data was subjected to pharmacokinetic analysis. The pharmacokinetic parameters of loganin in rat plasma were analyzed by compartment model using DAS 2.0 software. RESULTS The established UPLC-MS/MS method was accurate and reliable with a good linearity (R2 > 0.99) in the respective concentration range, satisfying the quantitative requirements. This method was successfully used to study the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution after oral administration of loganin in rats. The peak time (Tmax) of oral administration was about 40 min, and the half-life (t1/2) was about 50 min, indicating that loganin was quickly absorbed and eliminated in rats. Oral bioavailability was 5.50%. The dose correlation results showed that AUC had a poor correlation with dose, while Cmax had a good correlation with dose. In tissues, loganin (35 mg/kg) was highly distributed in the stomach, small intestine, kidney, liver and lung. When the dose was 70 mg/kg, loganin had significant distribution in the cortex. CONCLUSION In this study, a simple and sensitive UPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of loganin in rat plasma and tissues. Loganin was absorbed quickly, eliminated quickly, and had low bioavailability. The distribution of loganin in the cortex was higher than that in the hippocampus. We hope that our results can provide a reference for loganin to become a new antidepressant.

Abstract
Psychotropic medications are one of the most prescribed pharmaceuticals in the world. Given their frequent detection and ecotoxicity to the no-target organism, the emission of these medications into environments has gradually draw attention. The study developed a sensitive and reliable analytic method to simultaneously investigate 47 psychotropic medications in four matrices: wastewater, surface water, activated sludge, and sediment by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS). These 47 target analytes include 24 antidepressants, 17 antianxiety drugs, 5 anticonvulsants, and 1 relevant hormone. Solid phase extraction (SPE) was employed to extract analytes from water-phase samples. Ultrasonic Solvent Extraction method with Enhanced Matrix Removal clean-up (USE-EMR) was utilized to extract target compounds from solid-phase samples, which requires more straightforward and convenient procedures than previous methods. The extraction recoveries of all analytes ranged from 80 % to 120 % in these four sample matrices. In this study, The limit of quantitation for 47 psychotropic medications were 0.15 ng/L (estazolam) to 2.27 ng/L (lorazepam), 0.08 ng/L (desvenlafaxine) to 2 ng/L (mianserin), 0.22 ng/g (dry weight, dw) (nordiazepam) to 3.65 ng/g (dw) (lorazepam), and 0.07 ng/g (dw) (carbamazepine) to 2.85 ng/g (lorazepam), in wastewater, surface water, sludge, and sediment, respectively. In addition, the developed method was employed to analyse actual samples in two wastewater treatment plants and their receiving rivers. Carbamazepine, escitalopram, clozapine, desvenlafaxine, diazepam, lamotrigine, sertraline, temazepam, and venlafaxine were nearly ubiquitous in all matrices. Moreover, this study indicated that the inadequate removal efficiencies of psychotropic medications in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) had resulted in a persistent discharge of these contaminants from human sources into environments.

Abstract
Cayratia japonica ointment has been used for many years to promote wound healing after perianal abscess surgery. This study aimed to determine the skin-permeable and skin-retainable components of Cayratia japonica ointment after topical application to intact or broken skin via UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS analysis and in vitro transdermal assay. Moreover, a combination of semi-quantitative and molecular docking analyses was performed to identify the main active components of the Cayratia japonica ointment and the probable phases of the wound healing process that they act on. Modified vertical Franz diffusion cells and abdominal skin of rats were selected for the in vitro transdermal study. Mass spectrometry data were collected in both positive and negative ion modes. A total of 7 flavonoids (schaftoside, luteolin-7-O-glucuronide, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, apigenin-7-O-glucuronide, luteolin, apigenin, and chrysin) and 1 coumarin (esculetin), were found to permeate and/or retained by intact or broken skin. Among them, the flavonoids were more permeable through intact/broken skin and exhibited stronger binding affinities for targets related to the inflammatory and proliferative phases of wound healing. This study suggests that the flavonoids in Cayratia japonica ointment are most likely the main active components and are crucial at the inflammatory and proliferative phases of wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tofacitinib is an oral JAK inhibitor for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The clinical efficacy and safety of an administered tofacitinib, either monotherapy or in combination with conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, mainly methotrexate (MTX), have been evaluated. The high plasma concentration with delayed medicine clearance may affect the liver and/or kidney functions. In this study, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC- MS/MS) method for the quantitative analysis of methotrexate, tofacitinib, and metabolite M9 in plasma of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats was developed, and its effectiveness was validated as well. METHODS Methotrexate, tofacitinib, M9 and fedratinib (internal standard, IS) were separated by gradient elution. The chromatography was performed on an Acquity BEH C18 (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) column with the mobile phases of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution with different proportions at the flow rate of 0.30 mL/min. In the positive ionization mode, the analyzes were detected using a Xevo TQ-S triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer, with the following mass transition pairs: m/z 313.12 → 148.97 for tofacitinib, m/z 329.10 → 165.00 for M9 and m/z 455.12 → 308.05 for methotrexate. RESULTS The obtained results manifested good calibration linearity over the ranges of tofacitinib at 0.1-100 ng/mL, M9 at 0.05-100 ng/mL, and methotrexate at 0.05-100 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantifications (LLOQs) of methotrexate, tofacitinib and M9 were 0.05 ng/mL, 0.1 ng/mL and 0.05 ng/mL, respectively. Intra-day and inter-day accuracy values were confirmed with a range of -6.3% to 12.7%, while intra-day and inter-- day precision values were ≤14.4%. Additionally, recoveries were greater than 86.5% for each compound without significant matrix effects. CONCLUSION The currently established analytical method exhibited great potential for the evaluation of plasma concentrations of methotrexate, tofacitinib and M9 simultaneously, greatly reducing the detection time, which would serve as a supplementary role in formulating dose decisions to achieve personalized treatment, identify drugs that cause adverse reactions and finally, to assess drug-drug interactions on clinical studies.

Abstract
This study investigated the non-volatile metabolites and antioxidant activity of Douchi, an edible mushroom by-product. A total of 695 non-volatile metabolites were detected using UPLC-MS/MS-based metabolomics analysis, and the greatest impact on metabolite composition was observed during Koji-making and the first 5 days of post-fermentation. Throughout the fermentation process, 366 differential metabolites were identified, with flavonoids being the most prominent followed by amino acids and their derivatives, which were found to be important for the quality of edible mushroom by-product Douchi (EMD). The antioxidant capacity of EMD significantly increased with the longer fermentation time, which might be associated with the conversion of isoflavone glycosides to aglycones, amino acids and their derivatives, free fatty acids, group A saponins, and phenolic acids. These findings suggested that different fermentation phases of EMD significantly affected the non-volatile metabolite profile and antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
Alcohol abuse and addiction is a public health issue of global concern. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a forceful and effective complementary tool for investigating chemical consumption. This study examined alcohol consumption in major cities of China via WBE and compared WBE estimates with other data sources. A simple and valid ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of two alcohol metabolites, ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS) in wastewater. The optimized method was applied to 62 sewage samples collected from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in 31 provincial capital cities across China in the fourth quarter of 2020. The methodology established in this study was validated with the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) up to 0.1 μg/L, good linearity in the range of 0.1-50 μg/L, intra-day and inter-day precision less than 5.58% and 5.55%, respectively, and the recoveries of the extracts were higher than 97.14%. The consumption range of alcohol estimated via WBE was 6.09 ± 4.56 ethanol/person/day (EPD) in the capital cities of China. Alcohol consumption varies significantly between cities in China, with WBE estimating lower alcohol consumption than WHO and lower than foreign countries. Investing in alcohol consumption based on WBE has great potential to accurately and efficiently estimate alcohol consumption.

Abstract
This study delved into the impact of two extrusion processing parameters-screw speed (SS at 400, 600, 800 RPM) and material moisture content in the extruder barrel (M at 12, 15, 18%) at constant feed rate (50 kg/h)-on reducing the content of alternariol (AOH), alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), tenuazonic acid (TeA), and tentoxin (TEN) in whole-grain red sorghum flour. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography combined with a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS) was employed for the determination of Alternaria toxin levels. The extruder die temperature fluctuated between 136 and 177 °C, with die pressures ranging from 0.16 to 6.23 MPa. The specific mechanical energy spanned from 83.5 to 152.3 kWh/t, the torque varied between 88 and 162.8 Nm, and the average material retention time in the barrel ranged from 5.6 to 13 s. The optimal parameters for reducing the concentration of all Alternaria toxins with a satisfactory quality of the sorghum snacks were: SS = 400 RPM, M = 12%, with a reduction of 61.4, 76.4, 12.1, and 50.8% for AOH, AME, TeA, and TEN, respectively.
