Developing a universally applicable and commercially hopeful chiral material is a significant challenge for the separation and analysis field. In this study, innovative dual-chiral CCOFs ([SH-β-CD-NALC]-COFs) modified with 6-deoxy-6-mercapto-β-cyclodextrin (SH-β-CD) and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NALC) are presented. These CCOFs were synthesized using a single, one-step bottom-up approach at room temperature, specifically designed for enantiomer recognition and separation.

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the quality of FP from different origins and predict its quality evaluation markers.
Qufeng Zhitong capsule (QZC), a Chinese patent medicine officially approved in China for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other diseases, possesses the primary effects of dispelling wind, relieving pain, and promoting blood circulation, whose clinical applications have been confined owing to the incomplete elucidation of its chemical compositions and the underlying molecular mechanism for the treatment of RA. In this study, 61 compounds including 16 phenylpropanoids, 15 organic acids, 13 alkaloids, seven flavonoids, six iridoids, one saccharide, two aldehydes, and one saponin in QZC were simultaneously identified and traced to their herbal origins by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem Q-Exactive Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC/Q-Orbitrap-MS), where 31 of them were unambiguously identified by reference compounds, and the other 30 were tentatively characterized. Besides, all these compounds were proven to have potential pharmacological activity in the treatment of RA based on network pharmacology analysis.

As the representatives of closely related Chinese medicinal materials (CMMs) originated from Rutaceae family, (AFI), (AF), (CRPV), and (CRP) have better functions in regulating qi and promoting gastrointestinal motility. However, differences in the quality of closely related CMMs have not yet been revealed until now. Herein, this study focused on the systematic differentiation and in-depth understanding of closely related CMMs by a strategy integrating chemometrics and network pharmacology.
