Static headspace‐multicapillary column with gas chromatography coupled to ion mobility spectrometry as a simple approach for the discrimination of crude and processed traditional Chinese medicines

The processing procedure can alter the nature and chemical transformation of traditional Chinese medicine to accommodate different clinical dispensing and preparation requirements. In this study, static headspace‐multicapillary column with gas chromatography coupled to ion mobility spectrometry was developed for the rapid and sensitive discrimination of crude and processed traditional Chinese medicine. Using Radix Paeoniae Alba as a traditional Chinese medicine model, the combined power of this approach was illustrated by classifying the crude and processed Radix Paeoniae Alba samples into two main categories. The contents of the main components in Radix Paeoniae Alba varied significantly. The established method could promote the use of ion mobility spectrometry in intrinsic quality control and differentiation of herbal medicines from other processed products or preparations.     

Brief survey on phytochemicals to prevent COVID-19

BackgroundThe recent pandemic by COVID-19 is a global threat to human health. The disease is caused by SARS-CoV-2 and the infection rate is increased more quickly than MERS and SARS as their rapid adaptation to varied climatic conditions through rapid mutations. It becomes more severe due to the lack of proper therapeutic drugs, insufficient diagnostic tool, scarcity of appropriate drug, life supporting medical facility and mostly lack of awareness. Therefore, preventive measure is one of the important strategies to control. In this context, herbal medicinal plants received a noticeable attention to treat COVID-19 in Indian subcontinent. Here, 44 Indian traditional plants have been discussed with their novel phytochemicals that prevent the novel corona virus. The basic of SARS-CoV-2, their common way of transmission including their effect on immune and nervous system have been discussed. We have analysed their mechanism of action against COVID-19 following in-silico analysis. Their probable mechanism and therapeutic approaches behind the activity of phytochemicals to stimulate immune response as well as inhibition of viral multiplication discussed rationally. Thus, mixtures of active secondary metabolites/phytochemicals are the only choice to prevent the disease in countries where vaccination will take long time due to overcrowded population density.

家禽肌肉组织中硝基咪唑类药物残留的液相色谱串联质谱测定

建立了同时检测家禽肌肉组织中3种硝基咪唑类药物残留的液相色谱-串联质谱法。样品用乙酸乙酯提取,经浓缩、过滤后直接进入液相色谱-质谱分析。采用监测母离子及其相应子离子的多反应监测技术,根据离子流峰面积进行定量。3种药物的定量检出限分别为甲硝唑0．8μg／kg、洛硝哒唑0．1μg／kg、二甲硝唑0．1μg／kg。1次分析的运行时间为5min。是一种快速、灵敏、可靠的分析方法。     

两种蒙药中锗的差示脉冲极谱测定及其红外光谱的差异

采用差示脉冲极谱法,以3,4-二羟基苯甲醛的0.072 mol·L-1硫酸溶液作为底液,在峰电位为-0.53 Ⅴ(vs．Ag/AgCl),锗(Ⅳ)浓度在1.03×10-5～1004×10-4mol·L-1范围内与峰电流呈线性关系.据此测定了阿嘎日-35和阿嘎日-8中总锗、无机锗、有机锗含量,并利用红外光谱比较了两种蒙药的红外谱图的差异,据此可对两种蒙药予以区别.

Ultra‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization/quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry for the rapid analysis of constituents in the traditional Chinese medical formula Danggui San

In this work, ultra‐performance LC with ESI quadrupole TOF‐MS (UPLC–ESI‐Q‐TOF‐MS) and automated MetaboLynx analysis was used to rapidly separate and identify the chemical constituents of Danggui San, a traditional Chinese medical formula. The analysis was performed on a Waters UPLC BEH C₁₈ column using a gradient elution system. A hyphenated ESI and Q‐TOF analyzer was used for the determination of the accurate mass of the protonated or deprotonated molecule and fragment ions in both positive and negative modes. Based on retention times, accurate mass, and the mass spectrometric fragmentation characteristics, a total of 47 compounds distributed over the chemical groups of phthalides, flavonoids, monoterpene glycosides, sesquiterpenoids, phenolics, and alkaloids, were simultaneously separated within 18 min and identified or tentatively elucidated in Danggui San for the first time. UPLC–ESI‐Q‐TOF‐MS analysis revealed the complexity of the chemical composition of this formula. The method developed is rapid, accurate, reliable, and highly sensitive to characterize the chemical constituents of Danggui San.
