A serum metabolomics study based on LC-MS: Chemosensitization effects of Rauvolfia vomitoria Afzel. combined with 5- fluorouracil on colorectal cancer mice.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the malignant tumors with high incidence, and is mainly treated by chemotherapy at present. However, during CRC treatment, long-term use of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs will reduce the sensitivity of chemotherapy. Our previous studies have shown that Rauvolfia vomitoria total alkaloids (RVA) played an important role in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemosensitization in CRC therapy, but its intervention mechanism has not been clarified completely in the metabolic level.

Research Progress of NMR in Natural Product Quantification.

In the fields of medicine and health, traditional high-performance liquid chromatography or UV-visible spectrophotometry is generally used for substance quantification. However, over time, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) has gradually become more mature. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has certain advantages in the quantitative analysis of substances, such as being nondestructive, having a high flux and short analysis time.
