Abstract
BACKGROUND Ginsenosides have received increased amounts of attention due to their ability to modulate the intestinal flora, which may subsequently alleviate alcoholic liver disease (ALD). The effects of ginseng fermentation solution (GFS) on the gut microbiota and metabolism in ALD patients have not been explored. PURPOSE This research aimed to explore the regulatory effect of GFS on ALD both in vitro and in vivo. METHOD This study assessed the anti-ALD efficacy of GFS using an LO2 cell model and a zebrafish model. Untargeted metabolomics was used for differentially abundant metabolite analysis, and high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing was used to examine the effect of GFS on ALD. RESULTS The LO2 cell line experiments demonstrated that GFS effectively mitigated alcohol-induced oxidative stress and reduced apoptosis by upregulating PI3K and Bcl-2 expression and decreasing the levels of malondialdehyde, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. In zebrafish, GFS improved morphological and physiological parameters and diminished oxidative stress-induced ALD. Meanwhile, the results from Western blotting indicated that GFS enhanced the expression of PI3K, Akt, and Bcl-2 proteins while reducing Bax protein expression, thereby ameliorating the ALD model in zebrafish. Metabolomics data revealed significant changes in a total of 46 potential biomarkers. Among them, metabolites such as prostaglandin F2 alpha belong to arachidonic acid metabolism. In addition, GFS also partly reversed the imbalance of gut microbiota composition caused by alcohol. At the genus level, alcohol consumption elevated the presence of Flectobacillus, Curvibacter, among others, and diminished Elizabethkingia within the intestinal microbes of zebrafish. Conversely, GFS reversed these effects, notably enhancing the abundance of Proteobacteria and Archaea. Correlation analyses further indicated a significant negative correlation between prostaglandin F2 alpha, 11,14,15-THETA, Taurocholic acid and Curvibacter. CONCLUSION This study highlights a novel mechanism by which GFS modulates anti-ALD activity through the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway by influencing the intestinal flora-metabolite axis. These results indicate the potential of GFS as a functional food for ALD treatment via modulation of the gut flora.

Abstract
RATIONALE TongFu XieXia Decoction (TFXXD), a formulation rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and optimized through clinical practice, serves as an advanced version of the classic Da Cheng Qi decoction used for treating intestinal obstruction (IO), demonstrating significant therapeutic efficacy. However, due to the intricate nature of herbal compositions, the principal constituents and potential mechanisms of TFXXD have yet to be clarified. Accordingly, this study seeks to identify the active compounds and molecular targets of TFXXD, as well as to elucidate its anti-IO mechanisms. METHODS Qualitative identification of the principal constituents of TFXXD was accomplished using ultra-high preformance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS) analysis. PharmMapper facilitated the prediction of potential molecular targets, whereas protein-protein interaction analysis was conducted using STRING 11.0. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were performed using the Metascape database. A "compounds-target-pathway" network was meticulously constructed within Cytoscape 3.8.2. Finally, molecular docking studies were performed to investigate the interactions between the core target and the crucial compound. RESULTS UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS analysis identified 65 components with high precision and sensitivity. Furthermore, 64 potential targets were identified as integral to TFXXD bioactivity in IO treatment. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis revealed 995 distinct biological functions, while the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis identified 143 intricate signaling pathways. CONCLUSION Molecular docking studies substantiated the substantial affinity between the TFXXD bioactive constituents and their corresponding targets in the context of IO. TFXXD exerts its therapeutic efficacy in IO through a multifaceted interplay between multiple compounds, targets, and pathways. The integration of network pharmacology with UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS has emerged as a promising strategy to unravel the intricate web of molecular interactions underlying herbal medicine. However, it is imperative to emphasize the necessity for further in vivo and in vitro experiments.

Abstract
Wu-tou decoction (WTD), a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It works by controlling intestinal flora and its metabolites, which in turn modulates the inflammatory response and intestinal barrier function. Small molecular compounds (SM) and polysaccharides (PS) were the primary constituents of WTD extract. In this work, a model of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) in rats was established and treated with WTD, SM, and PS, respectively. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to examine the regulatory impact of the various groups on the disturbance of the gut flora induced by RA. Further, since PS cannot be absorbed into the blood, the influence of PS on the absorption and metabolism of SM was studied by examining their pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of 23 active components in SM by UPLC-MS/MS. WTD was found to be more effective than PS and SM in alleviating arthritis in AIA rats, which may be related to changes in gut flora. The PK properties of 13 active compounds were altered after PS intervene. Based on the findings, PS may be able to manage the disruption of intestinal microbiota, enhance the intestinal environment of model animals, and hence influence SM absorption and metabolism.

Abstract
Ipomoea pes-caprae (L.) R. Br (Convolvulaceae) is a commonly used marine traditional Chinese medicine in the southern coastal areas of China. It has been widely used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, but its effective substances and anti-rheumatoid arthritis mechanism remain ambiguous. Hence, in this study, the chemical profile and absorbed ingredients of Ipomoea pes-caprae were elucidated by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Moreover, targeted network pharmacology was used to clarify the mechanism of action of Ipomoea pes-caprae in treating rheumatoid arthritis. Finally, 23 compounds were identified in the aqueous extracts of Ipomoea pes-caprae and 12 absorbed ingredients were detected in rats' plasma. These 12 absorbed ingredients might be the essential effective substances of Ipomoea pes-caprae. The tissue distributions of 3 absorbed ingredients in rats were successfully analyzed. The targeted network pharmacological analysis results indicated that the regulation of inflammatory reaction, immune response, cell proliferation, and apoptosis were the critical mechanism of Ipomoea pes-caprae against rheumatoid arthritis. This study successfully clarified the effective substances and potential mechanisms of Ipomoea pes-caprae in treating rheumatoid arthritis. The results of this research could provide a valuable reference for further scientific research and clinical application.

Abstract
We demonstrate efficient generation of coherent super-octave pulses via a single-stage spectral broadening of a Yb:KGW laser in a single, pressurized, Ne-filled, hollow-core fiber capillary. Emerging pulses spectrally spanning over more than 1 PHz (250-1600 nm) at a dynamic range of ∼60 dB, and an excellent beam quality open the door to combining Yb:KGW lasers with modern light-field synthesis techniques. Compression of a fraction of the generated supercontinuum to intense (8 fs, ∼2.4 cycle, ∼650 µJ) pulses allows convenient use of these novel laser sources in strong-field physics and attosecond science.

Abstract
This study investigated the mechanism of characteristic non-volatile organic compounds (NVOCs) from ginseng Huang jiu (GH) in the treatment of alcoholic liver disease through UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS and network pharmacological analyses. Changes in NVOC contents in ginseng Huang jiu and ginseng-soaked wine fermented by different processing technologies were analyzed through liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). A total of 96 ginsenosides were identified in ginseng Huang jiu throughout the fermentation process, which included 37 protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides, 47 protopanaxatriol-type ginsenosides, and 4 oleanolic acid-type ginsenosides. Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) revealed that 20(R)-Rg2, Gypenoside XVII, 20(S)-Rf3, CK, Rg5, Rh2, and other rare ginsenosides in ginseng Huang jiu could be the potential index for determining ginseng Huang jiu. In addition, ginseng Huang jiu could improve alcoholic liver disease by regulating the GSTP1, HRAS, AKR1B1, GSTA1, Androgen receptor (AR), GSR, and LDHB genes through bioinformatics analysis. This study provides new insights into improving the industrial production of ginseng Huang jiu and treating alcoholic liver disease with medicinal and food products.

Abstract
Chrysanthemum is a kind of herb that can be used for both medicine and food. Although it has been shown to affect the redox damage of the lens, but the mechanism of action has not been systematically studied. This study identified the chemical profile of Fubai Chrysanthemum. Meanwhile, network pharmacology and the enrichment of the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway were combined to investigate the substance basis of Fubai Chrysanthemum for preventing cataract. The aqueous extracts of Fubaiju mainly contained 39 compounds. Compared with Gongju, Jinsiju and Wild chrysanthemum, Fubai Chrysanthemum showed a higher scavenging rate of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radicals and higher content of total flavonoid. 14 chemical differences in four kinds of chrysanthemum were found based on principal component difference analysis. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that the main mechanisms of Fubai Chrysanthemum for preventing cataract were affecting the oxidative stress process and regulating cell growth and metabolism. Eventually, 11 key targets of Fubai Chrysanthemum for cataract prevention were identified. The strategy provided a better understanding of the chemical profile of Fubai Chrysanthemum and elucidated that its higher flavonoid content plays an important role in preventing cataract through antioxidant action and regulating cell growth.

Abstract
Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is a commonly used plant growth regulator (PGR) with good antibacterial activity. It has widespread applications in agricultural production. However, there is limited research reported on the potential risks of human health resulting from PBZ residues. In this study, using Sprague-Dawley rats, we carried out a systematic study on the hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity of PBZ in different doses (0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 g/kg). The metabolic profiles and network pharmacology were combined to construct a PBZ-endogenous substances-gene-hepatorenal diseases network to elucidate the underlying mechanism of PBZ's hepatorenal toxicity. At first, metabolomics analysis was done to investigate the metabolites and the related metabolic pathways associated with PBZ. Secondly, the network pharmacology approach was used in further exploration of the toxic targets. Additionally, molecular docking was carried out to investigate the interactions between PBZ and potential targets. The results indicated that PBZ showed obvious toxicity towards the liver and kidney of rats. The metabolomics analysis showed that PBZ mainly affected 4 metabolic pathways, including tryptophan metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, and purine metabolism. Network pharmacology and molecular docking revealed that CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2E1, MAOA, PLA2G2A, PTGS1, and XDH were critical targets for PBZ hepatorenal toxicity. This preliminary study revealed PBZ's hepatorenal toxicity and provided a theoretical basis for the rational and safe use of PBZ. Furthermore, it provided possible intervention targets for further research on how to avoid or reduce the damage caused by pesticides to the human body.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi deficiency is important pathogenesis and syndrome of liver cancer and thus is crucial in related research. However, the effect of qi deficiency on the occurrence and development of liver cancer is still unclear. This study aimed to establish a liver cancer model of qi deficiency through the swimming exhaustion and xenograft of human hepatoma HepG2 cells. The effects of qi deficiency on the occurrence and development of liver cancer were investigated by analyzing tumor development, blood routine, histopathology, and serum metabolomics. Results showed that qi deficiency greatly affected the physiology and tumor growth of xenograft mice. Eight potential biomarkers were identified by metabolomics based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Their main pathways were arachidonic acid metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, purine metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, steroid biosynthesis, sphingomyelin metabolism, and fatty acid metabolism pathway. Finally, the effects of qi deficiency on the occurrence and development of liver cancer were comprehensively analyzed, and the mechanism of this process was preliminarily clarified.

Abstract
Clearance of peripheral amyloid-β (Aβ) has been demonstrated particularly promising for overcoming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) hurdle to remove brain-derived Aβ associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, currently used therapeutic agents targeting peripheral Aβ cannot simultaneously achieve plasma Aβ enrichment and enhanced clearance, which may result in poor bioavailability and rather low efficacy. Moreover, most of therapeutic agents usually promote the unfavorable aggregation of Aβ. Herein, we construct a near-infrared (NIR) regulated surface-transformable and target peptide-guided upconversion platform (UCNP/ONA-P/K), serving as a safe and effective way for Aβ clearance. Taking advantage of extended blood circulation, high selectivity toward Aβ, and surface-transformable property, such UCNP/ONA-P/K can address the challenges of peripheral Aβ clearance by a combination of enhancing the enrichment of plasma Aβ, preventing the unfavorable aggregation of Aβ and simultaneously facilitating the hepatic clearance of the captured Aβ. After verified by a series of systematic toxicity evaluation, cell uptake, deep tissue penetration, and hemolytic experiments, in vivo studies demonstrate that UCNP/ONA-P/K can efficiently decrease brain Aβ burden and reverse memory deficits in 3xTg-AD mice. Overall, this NIR multi-functional design provides a new biocompatible and efficient way for Aβ removal, which will promote the application of peripheral clearance of Aβ for AD treatment.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE As a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, Wu-tou decoction has been used for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for more than a thousand years. Identifying pharmacodynamic constituents (PCs) of WTD and exploring their in vivo process are very meaningful for promoting the modernization of TCM. However, the pathological state might change this process. AIM OF THE STUDY Hence, it is necessary and significant to compare the process in vivo of drugs both in normal and disease state and clarify their action mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Taking Wu-tou decoction (WTD) as the research object, a comprehensive strategy based on liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was developed to identify PCs, clarify and compare their absorption and distribution in normal and model rats, and then explore the potential mechanism of TCM. Firstly, the PCs in WTD were identified. Then, the pharmacokinetics (PK) and tissue distribution of these ingredients were studied. Finally, the constituents with the difference between normal and model rats were selected for target network pharmacological analysis to clarify the mechanism. RESULTS A total of 27 PCs of WTD were identified. The absorption and distribution of 20 PCs were successfully analyzed. In the disease state, the absorption and distribution of all these components were improved to have better treatment effects. The results of target network pharmacological analysis indicated that PTGS1, PTGS2, ABCB1, SLC6A4, CHRM2, ESR1, ESR2, CDK2, TNF and IL-6 are 10 key targets for WTD against RA. The regulatory effects of WTD on the expression of PTGS2 and TNF were further verified. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that the key mechanism of WTD against RA is to reduce inflammation and regulate the immune response. CONCLUSION These results indicated that this strategy could better understand the in vivo process and mechanism of WTD under the pathological state. Furthermore, this strategy is also appropriate for other TCM.

Abstract
Lignans from Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill (LFS) has been proved to improve impaired cognitive ability thereby show potential in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS and UHPLC-QQQ-MS were adopted cooperatively to establish a method synchronously detecting 10 kinds of LFS monomers in rat plasma samples. And this method was further applied for pharmacokinetic study to compare the metabolism of LFS in normal and AD rats. The results indicated that AD rats showed an observably better absorption of LFS compared to normal rats. Based on time-varying plasma concentration of LFS, metabolomics was used to establish a plasma concentration-time-endogenous metabolite connection. In total 54 time-varying endogenous metabolites were screened and most of which were closely associated with AD. And LFS exerted a concentration dependent regulating effect to most of these metabolites. Through biomarker related pathways and biological function analysis, LFS might treat AD through neuroprotection, antioxidant damage and regulating the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids. This is the first study connecting LFS absorbtion and endogenous metabolite changes with the time lapse. The pharmacokinetics and metabolic profile differences between normal and AD rats were firstly investigated as well. This study provides a novel perspective in exploring the effect and mechanism of LFS in treating AD.

Abstract
Herb pairs are the unique combinations of two relatively fixed herbs, intrinsically convey the basic idea of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. The compatibility of Radix ginseng and Schisandra chinensis has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating Alzheimer's disease for many years. However, there are few studies on Radix ginseng-Schisandra chinensis herb pair, and the underlying action mechanism is still unclear. In this study, the mechanism of Radix ginseng-Schisandra chinensis herb pair on Alzheimer's disease was investigated by using the mass spectrometry-based urinary metabolomics method. Sixteen urinary endogenous metabolites were identified as potential biomarkers. Meanwhile, 10 biomarkers were quantified with tandem mass spectrometry. The study result showed that the brain pathologic symptoms of model rats were improved and the potential biomarkers were adjusted backward significantly after the herb pair administration. The metabolic pathways linked to the herb pair-regulated endogenous biomarkers included phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, purine metabolism, and so on. The above metabolic pathways reflected that Radix ginseng-Schisandra chinensis herb pair mainly regulates abnormal energy metabolism, reduces inflammation, and regulates gut microbiota and neurotransmitters in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Crocins are highly valuable natural compounds for treating human disorders, and they are also high-end spices and colorants in the food industry. Due to the limitation of obtaining this type of highly polar compound, the commercial prices of crocins I and II are expensive. In this study, macroporous resin column chromatography combined with high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was used to purify crocins I and II from natural sources. With only two chromatographic steps, both compounds were simultaneously isolated from the dry fruit of Gardenia jasminoides, which is a cheap herbal medicine distributed in a number of countries. In an effort to shorten the isolation time and reduce solvent usage, forward and reverse rotations were successively utilized in the HSCCC isolation procedure. Crocins I and II were simultaneously obtained from a herbal resource with high recoveries of 0.5% and 0.1%, respectively, and high purities of 98.7% and 99.1%, respectively, by HPLC analysis. The optimized preparation method was proven to be highly efficient, convenient, and cost-effective. Crocins I and II exhibited inhibitory activity against ATP citrate lyase, and their IC50 values were determined to be 36.3 ± 6.24 and 29.7 ± 7.41 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. Amyloid beta-protein (Aβ) plaques, which are the hallmark of AD, are formed from the imbalance of Aβ production and clearance accompanied by neuroinflammation, gut dysbiosis, and metabolite dysfunction. All of these processes give rise to neurochemical deficiencies and synaptic dysfunction, which ultimately contribute to recognition dysfunction. Poria cocos (PC), which contains multiple active ingredients, plays a significant role in the treatment of multiple-pathogenesis senile diseases such as AD. Nevertheless, there are only very few investigations on the intricate action mechanism of PC for the treatment of AD. In this study, we evaluate the multi-target cure effect of PC on APP/PS1 mice by behavioral, immunohistochemical (IHC), targeted metabolomics, and 16S rRNA sequencing experiments. Mice treated with PC showed significant improvements in cognitive function as evaluated by the behavioral experiment. IHC revealed that PC treatment relieved Aβ deposition by reducing the formation of Aβ and increasing its clearance. Moreover, PC treatment improved gut dysbiosis, which reversed the metabolite dysfunction of bile acid. These findings reveal that PC is a promising therapeutic agent, which might ameliorate the cognitive function of AD by restoring the imbalance of Aβ production and clearance and gut microbiota dysbiosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The formula of Chinese medicine, Ding-Zhi-Xiao-Wan (DZXW), has the distinct feature of compatibility therapy, which is attributed to the interactions of multi-herbs. However, the quantification problem caused by the absence of pure reference standards is a bottleneck to clarify the compatibility advantages from the perspective of pharmacokinetics (PKs). OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop a putative multiple-reaction monitor (PMRM) strategy for exploring the comparative PKs of DZXW and its single herbs. METHODS First, precursor ion and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) chromatograms were obtained via ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight MS (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) under different collision energy (CE) values. Then, the two most abundance ions in the MS/MS chromatograms were chosen as product ions, and CE values were selected according to the abundance of the product ion peaks. Next, a PMRM strategy consisting of optimal MRM parameters was constructed. Finally, the established PMRM parameters were imported to UHPLC coupled with triple quadrupole MS (UHPLC-TQ-MS) for quantification. RESULTS The strategy was exemplified by the comparative PK study of DZXW and its single herbs. This strategy could extend the PK scopes of multi-components. The quantitative results displayed substantial variations in PK parameters between DZXW and its single herbs. CONCLUSION The PK parameters indicated that the DZXW formula could increase the exposure levels of most ingredients and reduce the maximum concentration (Cmax ) of Radix Polygala, indicating that herb compatibility could produce synergistic effects and diminish possible toxic effects. This study provides a viable orientation for the compatibility investigation of traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract
RATIONALE Qi-Shen-Ke-Li (QSKL) is a traditional Chinese formula used in clinical practice to treat chronic heart failure (CHF) in humans. To rationalize the use of this formula in clinical practice, the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution in rats after oral administration of QSKL were investigated using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC/TQ-MS). METHODS The CHF model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of isoprenaline (ISO; also known as isoproterenol) and evaluated by HE staining and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) measurement. The UHPLC/TQ-MS method was then applied to determine the concentrations of 18 bioactive components in rat plasma and tissues of heathy and CHF rats after oral administration of QSKL. This was followed by investigating the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution profiles of these bioactive compounds in the heathy and CHF rats. RESULTS The pharmacokinetics results showed that the duration time of two compounds was prolonged, the absorption rate of four compounds was accelerated, and the bioavailability of four compounds was increased in the CHF rats compared with the healthy rats. Meanwhile, the tissue distribution results showed that the QSKL formula could be distributed rapidly and widely in different rat tissues. The bioavailability of eight compounds in the liver was enhanced in CHF rats. This suggested that the drug/toxic effects should be considered in clinical practice, as drug-drug interactions might occur in liver metabolism during the drug combination. CONCLUSIONS The pharmacokinetic profiles and tissue distribution of 18 bioactive compounds in QSKL are altered by the CHF status. This study provides insight for better clinical applications of this formula in the future and lays the foundation for the development of a new drug for chronic heart failure based on the QSKL formula.

Abstract
The boronate affinity-based oriented and double-shelled surface molecularly imprinted polymers on 96-well microplates (BDMIPs) were designed and applied to high-specific and high-throughput pharmacokinetic (PK) study of rutin and its metabolites from rat plasma without concentration and redissolution. It integrated the advantages of covalent effects-based boronate affinity, noncovalent effects of ethylene imine polymer (PEI) dendrimer, multiple cavities-based double-shelled layers, and multiparallel wells-based 96-well microplates. Furthermore, ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was used to accurately quantify targets. It showed lower limits of detection (LODs) up to 100-fold than the conventional method. And PKs of rutin and trace isoquercetin (IQC) were first reported at the same time. The platform can provide a fast, simple, low-cost, high-selective, high-effective, and high-throughput methodological reference for analysis of large-scale samples in the fields of agriculture and food.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the major obstacles for clinical effective chemotherapy. In this study, the effects and possible mechanisms of aloe-emodin (AE) were investigated on reversing the adriamycin (ADR)-induced resistance of MCF-7/ADR cells. AE could significantly reverse the ADR resistance in MCF-7/ADR cells. The combination of AE (20 μM) and ADR had no effect on the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) level, but notably promoted the accumulation of ADR in drug-resistant cells. The efflux function of P-gp required ATP, but AE reduced the intracellular ATP level. AE played a reversal role might through inhibiting the efflux function of P-gp. The research result of energy metabolism pathways indicated that combination of AE and ADR could inhibit glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, glutamine metabolism, and related amino acid synthesis pathways. Moreover, we found AE not only reversed ADR-induced resistant but also induced autophagy as a defense mechanism. In addition, the combination of AE and ADR arrested G2/M cell cycle and induced apoptosis through DNA damage, ROS generation, caspase-3 activation. Our study indicated that AE could be a potential reversal agent to resensitize ADR resistant in tumor chemotherapy and inhibiting autophagy might be an effective strategy to further enhance the reversal activity of AE.

Abstract
Aromatic carboxylic acids (ACAs), play important roles in preventive and therapeutic effects for some diseases. However, complex matrix effect and poor detection sensitivity make it difficult and even rare to detect ACAs in complex bio-samples. Herein, a stable isotope labeling derivatization (SILD) method based on one-pot synthesis of carboxylic amides by aniline (AN) and aniline-d5 (AN-d5) was firstly designed for quantitatively monitoring ACAs under mild conditions. The detection sensitivity was improved up to 500 folds. Importantly, when taking the trace tenuifoliside A (TA) containing p-hydroxyl-benzoyl- (HB) and 3, 4, 5-trimethoxylcinnamoyl- (TC) unit as a special example via intestinal bacteria incubation, the metabolites ACAs and whole metabolic profiles of TA were firstly accurately and systematically monitored by applying the SILD method combined with multiple-mass spectrometry (MMS) technologies. It provides a convenient, universal, high-sensitivity and high-recovery methodological tool for the systematically metabolic study of trace drugs in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Phototherapy, such as photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy, holds great potential for modulation of Alzheimer's β-amyloid (Aβ) self-assembly. Unfortunately, current works for phototherapy of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are just employing either visible or first near-infrared (NIR-I) light with limited tissue penetration, which can not avoid damaging nearby normal tissues of AD patients through the dense skull and scalp. To overcome the shortcomings of AD phototherapy, herein we report an amyloid targeting, N-doped three-dimensional mesoporous carbon nanosphere (KD8@N-MCNs) as a second near-infrared (NIR-II) PTT agent. This makes it possible for photothermal dissociation of Aβ aggregates through the scalp and skull in a NIR-II window without hurting nearby normal tissues. Besides, KD8@N-MCNs have both superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, which can scavenge intracellular superfluous reactive oxygen species and alleviate neuroinflammation in vivo. Furthermore, KD8@N-MCNs efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier owing to the covalently grafted target peptides of KLVFFAED on the nanosphere surface. In vivo studies demonstrate that KD8@N-MCNs decrease Aβ deposits, ameliorate memory deficits, and alleviate neuroinflammation in the 3xTg-AD mouse model. Our work provides a biocompatible and non-invasive way to attenuate AD-associated pathology.

They are obtained by Fourier transforming a phase-modulated wave front in an aberration-compensated system. The phase pattern is encoded to include the phase and amplitude modulation for the accelerating beams with additional correction phase for the aberration compensation. These beams propagate along a circular trajectory, but they exhibit rather complex intensity patterns corresponding to the shape-invariant solutions in parabolic, prolate spheroidal and oblate spheroidal coordinate systems.

Abstract
Neural stem cells (NSC) transplantation is garnering considerable attention in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases that are associated with cognitive decline. Current methods are mainly based on neuron-directional differentiation and NSC niche components majorization to promote neurogenesis. Unfortunately, the pathologically high level of oxidative stress will damage the neurons derived from NSC during therapy, compromising the neurogenesis effect. Herein, a facile and effective strategy has been presented for modulation of neuron-directional differentiation and amelioration of oxidative stress by integrating antioxidative nanozymes (ceria) into metal-organic frameworks (MOF) for synergistically enhancing neurogenesis. Specially, small interfering RNA (siSOX9) and retinoic acid (RA) are loaded in the MOF. The H2O2-responsive MOF would release cargos in the lesion area to promote neuron-directional differentiation. Moreover, the integrated ceria can perform robust SOD and CAT mimetic activities, which are capable of eliminating ROS and circumventing its oxidative damage to newborn neurons, leading to the longer survival rate and more enhanced outgrowth of the newborn neurons. With the gratifying drug delivery efficiency of MOF and excellent antioxidative capacity of nanozymes, the rational-designed nanoparticles can considerably promote neurogenesis and improve the cognitive function of aged 3 × Tg-AD (triple transgenic AD mouse model) mice. Our work provides a new way to promote nerve regeneration with the help of nanozymes.

Abstract
An efficient and refined method for the separation of six aconitine‐type alkaloids from the alkaline prepared “Kusnezoff monkshood root” was established. It is the first study that two new lipo‐alkaloids were successfully isolated from refined sample by pH‐zone‐refining counter‐current chromatography rather than synthetic method. It was of interest that a great deal of lipo‐alkaloids was produced in crude extract from the alkalization of “Kusnezoff monkshood root.” A refined sample method was proposed to enrich two types of alkaloids by liquid–liquid extraction, i.e. lipo‐alkaloids and monoester‐diterpenoid alkaloids. The pH‐zone‐refining counter‐current chromatography was performed with an optimized two‐phase solvent system composed of n‐hexane‐ethyl acetate–methanol–water (3:5:4:5, v/v), where upper organic phase was added to 3 mmol/L triethylamine as a retainer and lower aqueous mobile phase was added to 3 mmol/L hydrochloric acid as an eluter. As a result, six aconitum alkaloids, including two lipo‐alkaloids (8‐lino‐14‐benzoylaconine, 8‐pal‐14‐benzoylaconine), three monoester‐diterpenoid alkaloids (14‐benzoylmesaconine, 14‐benzoylaconine, beyzoyldeoxyaconine), and one aconine alkaloid (neoline) were acquired from the plant at the same time. The anti‐inflammatory activities of the two new lipo‐alkaloids were compared to the six alkaloids in vitro, in cyclo‐oxygen‐ase‐2 inhibition assays. The separation mechanism of six alkaloids by pH‐zone‐refining counter‐current chromatography was illustrated.

Abstract
Background Exploring the pharmacokinetic (PK) changes of various active components of single herbs and their combinations is necessary to elucidate the compatibility mechanism. However, the lack of chemical standards and low concentrations of multiple active ingredients in the biological matrix restrict PK studies. Methods A putative multiple reaction monitoring strategy based on liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC–MS) was developed to extend the PK scopes of quantification without resorting to the use of chemical standards. First, the compounds studied, including components with available reference standard (ARS) and components lacking reference standard (LRS), were preclassified to several groups according to their chemical structures. Herb decoctions were then subjected to ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis with appropriate collision energy (CE) in MS2 mode. Finally, multiple reaction monitoring transitions transformed from MS2 of ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry were used for ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry to obtain the mass responses of LRS components. LRS components quantification was further performed by developing an assistive group-dependent semiquantitative method. Results The developed method was exemplified by the comparative PK process of single herbs Radix Ginseng (RG), Radix Polygala (RP), and their combinations (RG–RP). Significant changes in PK parameters were observed before and after combination. Conclusion Results indicated that Traditional Chinese Medicine combinations can produce synergistic effects and diminish possible toxic effects, thereby reflecting the advantages of compatibility. The proposed strategy can solve the quantitative problem of LRS and extend the scopes of PK studies.

Abstract
As an important Chinese medicine decoction, Wu-tou decoction has been used to treat rheumatic arthritis for more than a thousand years. We previously reported that the Wu-tou decoction could change the urinary and serum metabolites in adjuvant-induced arthritis rats significantly. The purpose of this research was to confirm the potential biomarkers obtained by previous non-targeted metabolomics study through quantitative analysis by liqui chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, in the meantime, to further study the effective material basis of Wu-tou decoction. Firstly, the important compounds in the tryptophan metabolism pathway, the arginine and proline metabolism pathway, the amino acid metabolism pathway, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, the vitamin B6 metabolism pathway, and the phenylalanine metabolism pathway, which were identified as potential biomarkers in previous study, were selected for quantitative analysis. Then the linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, selectivity, accuracy, precision, stability, recovery, and matrix effect of the quantitative method were examined. Finally, ten and eighteen metabolites were quantitatively analyzed in the serum and urine, respectively. The results showed that seven out of ten serum potential biomarkers and ten out of eighteen urine potential biomarkers were confirmed as real biomarkers. This research provides a powerful reference for the study on effective material basis of Wu-tou decoction.

Abstract
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), catalyzing the conversion of pyruvate to lactate during glycolysis, is overexpressed in cancer cells. LDH inhibitors are a promising approach for the treatment of cancer. But up till now, there is limited method for rapid screening of LDH inhibitors. Herein, the use of LDH functionalized magnetic nanoparticles as a drug discovery tool for the selective enrichment of LDH potential inhibitors from natural products was firstly reported in this study. Firstly, LDH was immobilized onto the surface of amino-modified magnetic nanoparticles via covalent binding. In order to obtain the maximum enzyme activity, the immobilization conditions including pH, time and LDH concentration were optimized. The amount of LDH immobilized on MNPs was about 49 μg enzyme/mg carrier under the optimized conditions. Subsequently, the ligand fishing assay was performed to validate the specificity and selectivity of immobilized LDH using a model mixture, which consisted of galloflavin, chlorogenic acid and verbascoside. Finally, the immobilized LDH approach combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technique (UHPLC-MS/MS) was applied to screen potential LDH inhibitors from two anthraquinone-rich natural products (Rhubarb and Polygonum cuspidatum). Nine and six compounds were identified from Rhubarb and Polygonum cuspidatum extracts respectively, of which three compounds were common to both. Our results have proven that LDH functionalized magnetic nanoparticles have a significant prospect for drug discovery from complex matrices.

Abstract
The novel Vial@FPBA strategy was established for a large-scale pharmacokinetic study of glycosides, during which glycosides were absorbed into a boronic acid-functionalized 96-well glass plate and directly desorbed for UHPLC-MS/MS analysis. Hence, specific and high-throughput glycoside enrichment was achieved simultaneously. The LODs were reduced up to 50 times compared to the case of the methanol method. Meanwhile, sample pre-processing time was greatly saved by skipping the protein sedimentation and supernatant concentration steps.

Abstract
Considering that aprotic solvents are often used as cosolvents in investigating the interactions between small molecules and proteins, we assessed the effects of five aprotic solvents represented by dimethylformamide (DMF) on the structure stabilities of metal-free SOD1 (apo-SOD1) by native electrospray ionization-ion mobility-mass spectrometry (ESI-IM-MS). These aprotic solvents include DMF, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile (ACN), and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Results indicated that DMI, DMSO, and DMF at low percentage concentration could reduce the average charge and the dimer dissociation of apo-SOD1. By contrast, ACN and THF at low concentration have no similar effect. DMF was selected as a representative solvent to further investigate the detailed effects on the structure stability of apo-SOD1 by using collision-induced dissociation and unfolding. The results reveal that the addition of minimal DMF to an aqueous protein solution can protect against the unfolding and dissociation of dimer, even under destabilizing conditions (such as low pH or high cone voltage). When the different percentage concentrations of DMF were added, the average collision cross section of apo-SOD1 showed that apo-SOD1 became compacted when the DMF concentration increased from 0% to 1% and eventually started extending when increased from 1% to 20%. The results indicated that DMF has similar effects to DMSO in native mass spectrometry (MS) and it can also be used as a cosolvent besides DMSO in investigating the stabilities of proteins and the interactions between small molecules and proteins.

Abstract
Lignans from Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill can ameliorate cognitive impairment in animals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the metabolism of absorbed ingredients and the potential targets of the lignans from S. chinensis in animals with AD have not been systematically investigated. Therefore, for the first time, we performed an in-vivo ingredient analysis and implemented a target-network pharmacology strategy to assess the effects of lignans from S. chinensis in rats with AD. Ten absorbed prototype constituents and 39 metabolites were identified or tentatively characterized in the plasma of dosed rats with AD using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Based on the results of analysis of the effective constituents in vivo, the potential therapeutic mechanism of the effective constituents in the rats with AD was investigated using a target-network pharmacology approach and independent experimental validation. The results showed that the treatment effects of lignans from S. chinensis on cognitive impairment might involve the regulation of amyloid precursor protein metabolism, neurofibrillary tangles, neurotransmitter metabolism, inflammatory response, and antioxidant system. Overall, we identified the effective components of lignans in S. chinensis that can improve the cognitive impairment induced by AD and proposed potential therapeutic metabolic pathways. The results might serve as the basis for a fundamental strategy to explore effective therapeutic drugs to treat AD.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) has seriously affected or hindered the effect of chemotherapy. Ursolic acid (UA) as a natural compound exhibits a number of potential biological effects including antitumor. Searching for the reversal agents from the natural products has been an effective strategy recently applied in overcoming the MDR. So in this study, the reversal effect of UA on the MDR and involved mechanisms were investigated via a multidrug-resistant MCF-7/ADR cells model and ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analytical methods. The synergistic effects were yielded by the combination of UA and Dox based on the investigation of the intracellular accumulation, the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated transport, the energy metabolism including glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and glutamine metabolism as well as related amino acid metabolism. Obtained results showed that the UA could increase amount of doxorubicin (Dox) entering the cell to accumulate in nuclei, decrease the efflux ratio of digoxin comparable to the effects of the known inhibitor verapamil by acting as a P-gp substrate, decrease the content of intracellular alanine, lactate, pyruvate, glucose, α-ketoglutarate, glutamate, glutamine, aspartate, serine, and glycine. Taken together, inhibition of P-gp function and disruption of the metabolism of energy and related amino acids could be the key mechanisms by which UA could reverse the MDR. The findings also indicated that UA could be a potential alternative adjuvant antitumour herbal medicine to resensitize cells with MDR to chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become one of the major diseases endangering the health of the elderly. Clarifying the features of each AD animal model is valuable for understanding the onset and progression of diseases and developing potential treatments in the pharmaceutical industry. In this study, we aimed to clarify plasma metabolomics and neurotransmitter dysfunction in the process of AD model rat induced by amyloid beta 25-35 (Aβ 25-35). Firstly, Morris Water Maze (MWM) test was used to investigate cognitive impairment in AD rat after 2, 4 and 8 weeks of modelling. Based on this, the effects on levels of AD-related enzymes and eight neurotransmitters were analyzed. And plasma metabolomics analysis based on ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was used to research the metabolic disturbances in the process of AD rat. The results shown the injury on the spatial learning ability of AD rats was gradually aggravated within 4 weeks, reached the maximum at 4 weeks and then was stable until 8 weeks. During 8 weeks of modeling, the levels of enzymes including β-secretase, γ-secretase, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), acetyl cholinesterase (AchE) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) were significant increased in the plasma of AD rats. The neurotransmitter dysfunction was mainly involved in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), acetyl choline (Ach), glutamic acid (Glu), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE). 17 endogenous metabolites correlated with AD were successfully detected in the metabolomics analysis. These metabolites were mainly involved in fatty acids, sphingolipids, and sterols metabolisms, vitamin metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. These metabolites might be the potential biomarkers that correctly mark different stages of AD. The study on peripheral plasma indices reflecting the process of AD laid the foundation for understand the pathophysiology of AD and find an effective and radical cure. And the rules of endogenous metabolic disorder in AD rats also have a certain guiding significance for the future study of food–drug interactions at different stages of AD. The cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease (AD) related enzymes, neurotransmitters and endogenous metabolites shown a dynamic change in AD model rat induced by amyloid beta 25-35.![]()

Abstract
The study of in vivo pharmacodynamic constituents (PCs) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is important for providing new clues for TCM applications in clinical therapies in modern medicine. However, detecting and identifying PCs from complex biological samples remain a challenge. In this study, a practical and novel stepwise targeted matching and longitudinal analysis strategy from in vitro to in vivo was developed. This strategy combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was applied to quickly discover PCs in TCM. This approach was developed based on a core perception that all drugs taken orally might be transformed progressively and orderly from the intestinal tract, liver, and blood to the target organ. Based on this core perception, stepwise targeted matching was orderly and efficiently accomplished by multiple screening processes that were based on a stepwise enriched in-house library. Ginseng (Panax ginseng) was set as the example of herbal medicine for validating the reliability and availability of this approach. By applying this novel strategy to the stepwise screening of metabolites, we successfully identified 113 metabolites, among which 59 compounds were defined as prototypes. Based on the in vivo metabolites, network pharmacology analysis was applied to screen the PCs of ginseng and clarified the action mechanism of ginseng for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A total of 27 herbal constituents and 64 related targets shared commonly by compounds and AD were integrated via target network pharmacology analysis. These results demonstrated that this original approach will greatly improve high-throughput screening of metabolites and PCs on AD. It also can explicate the mechanism of action of TCM. Furthermore, this strategy is practicable to identify metabolites and screen PCs in other herbal medicines.

Abstract
RATIONALE Multidrug resistance (MDR) occurs frequently and is a major challenge in tumor treatment. The lipid composition in the cell membrane and the redox balance are closely associated with the development of MDR. Liquid extraction surface analysis in combination with mass spectrometry (LESA-MS) has the characteristics of minimal sample preparation, rapid analysis, high sensitivity and high throughput, and has obtained wide applications. METHODS LESA-MS was employed to in situ determine the lipids and other specific metabolites of intact MCF-7/ADR cells (adriamycin-resistant breast cancer cells) and its parental MCF-7/S cells grown on a glass slide. In situ atomic force microscopy was used to observe the morphology of tumor cells before and after extraction. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to investigate the potential lipid biomarkers correlated with the MDR. Moreover, the cell membrane fluidity and potential were determined. RESULTS The changes in the level of the lipids were closely correlated with the multidrug resistance of MCF-7/S cells. Moreover, lower cell membrane fluidity and higher cell membrane potential were observed and thus demonstrated the changes in the cell membrane induced by multidrug resistance. Also, the ratios of GSH/GSSG, ATP/ADP and ATP/AMP were significantly higher in MCF-7/ADR cells relative to MCF-7/S cells. CONCLUSIONS Lower cell membrane fluidity and higher cell membrane potential caused by the changes in lipid compositions, enhanced anti-oxidative ability and energy generation were involved in the development of the MDR. The specific alterations identified in this study may provide more information for overcoming MDR.

Abstract
Poria cocos are extensively used as nutritious food, dietary supplements, and oriental medicine in Asia. However, the effect substances are still not very clear. In this study, a targeted screening approach was developed to systematically identify absorbed constituents of Poria cocos in vivo using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry combined with UNIFI software. First, incubation reactions in vitro with rat intestinal microflora and rat liver microsomes were conducted to sum up metabolic rules of main constituents. Second, the absorbed constituents in vivo were picked out and identified based on the results of metabolic study in vitro. Finally, the absorbed active constituents in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease were screened by targeted network pharmacology analysis. A total of 62 absorbed prototypes and 59 metabolites were identified and characterized in dosed plasma. Thirty potential active constituents were screened, and 86 drug-targets shared by absorbed constituents and Alzheimer's disease were discovered by targeted network pharmacology analysis. In general, this proposed targeted strategy comprehensively provides new insight for active ingredients of Poria cocos.
