Diagnostic Ions Guided 2d-Locating Strategy For Characterization Of Chemical Analogues In Complex Herbal Medicines Using Liquid Chromatography-Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry, Meng-Ning Li, Zi-Xuan Zhang, Hui-Ying Wang, Wen Gao, Ping Li, Hua Yang

Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

Rapid characterization of chemical analogues in potentially toxic complex matrix was essential for prevention of accidental poisoning. On the basis of the fragment ions possessed not only the same retention times (RT) but the same drift times (DT) on liquid chromatography-ion mobility-mass spectrometry (LC-IM-MS), an alternating frames (AF)-data independent acquisition (DIA) was utilized for simultaneous detection and rapid match of precursor/product ions with a fast switch of low/high collision energy (CE). A diagnostic ions guided 2D-locating strategy was developed for identification of chemical analogues in potentially toxic herbal medicines using LC-IM-MS. Firstly, the 2D-locations (RT, DT) of diagnostic ions were …

Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

NRF2/ARE signaling pathway is a principal regulator of cellular redox homoeostasis. The stress-induced transcription factor, NRF2, can shield cells from the oxidative damages via binding to the consensus antioxidant-responsive element (ARE) and driving several cyto-protective genes expression. Increasing evidence indicated that aberrant activation of NRF2 in malignant cells may support their survival through various pathways to detoxify chemotherapy drugs, attenuate drug-induced oxidative stress, or induce drug efflux, all of which are crucial in developing drug resistance. Accordingly, NRF2 is a potential drug target for improving the effectiveness of chemotherapy and to reverse drug resistance in cancer cells. A stable ARE-driven …

Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

This study demonstrated for the first time that curcumin effectively inhibits the growth of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumors by inhibiting the expression of salt-induced kinase-3 (SIK3) protein in patient-derived xenografted tumor mice (TNBC-PDX). For TNBC patients, chemotherapy is the only option for postoperative adjuvant treatment. In this study, we detected the SIK3 mRNA expression in paired-breast cancer tissues by PCR analysis. The results revealed that SIK3 mRNA expression was significantly higher in tumor tissues when compared to the normal adjacent tissues (73.25 times, n=183). Thus, it is proposed for the first time that the antitumor effect induced by curcumin …

Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

The development of effective post-stroke therapy is highly demanded. Medicarpin is a key active component of a famous Chinese herbal prescription used for post-stroke treatment in Taiwan; however, little is known about its biological effects and mechanisms of action. Herein, we implemented a murine model of cerebral ischemic/reperfusional injury-related stroke to elucidate medicarpin’s neuroprotective effect. In male ICR mice 24 h after stroke induction, treatment with medicarpin (0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg, i.v.) markedly enhanced the survival rates, improved moving distance and walking area coverage, reduced brain infarction, and preserved the blood-brain barrier, supporting medicarpin’s protective effect on stroke-induced injury. Immunohistochemistry …

Recent Developments In Sensing Of Oversulfated Chondroitin Sulfate In Heparin. A Review ., Manivannan Madhu, Wei-Lung Tseng

Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

Oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS), a non-natural sulfated glycosaminoglycan, recognizes as a significant containment in the pharmaceutical heparin, and it could trigger adverse reactions. Chromatography-, electrophoresis-, electrochemistry-, and spectroscopy-related techniques are currently available for accurate and precise analysis of a trace amount of OSCS in heparin. Recently, emerging studies focus on developing colorimetric and fluorescent probes to monitor OSCS containments in heparin. Therefore, this current review aims to describe the sensing principle and procedure of the reported probes that are sensitive and selective toward OSCS in heparin without the interferences of other sulfated glycosaminoglycans. The reported OSCS-specific probes are comprehensively discussed …
