Introduction: Studies show that Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum (PRP) has some pharmacological effects in enhancing immunity and against gout.
Objectives: A mathematical model was created for extraction process optimization, analysis and identification, activity screening, and isolation and purification; moreover, the mechanism of action was studied.
Methods: First, the extraction of PRP was investigated using the gray wolf optimization mathematical regression model; the extraction variables were optimized to maximize the yield.

Sargentodoxae Caulis was extracted with 80% ethanol and separated by macroporous resin, MCI, and ODS column chromatography and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography. The structures of the compounds were identified based on the NMR and MS data. A total of 19 compounds were identified as parabaroside D(1),(R)-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(2),(S)-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(3), protocatechin-3-O-β-D-glucoside(4), p-hydroxybenzoate-β-D-glucopyranoside(5), gentisic-5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(6), vanillic acid 4-O-β-D-glucoside(7), syringic acid glucoside(8), uracil(9), uridine(10), neochlorogenic acid(11), chlorogenic acid(12), cryptochlorogenic acid(13), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol glucoside(14), cuneataside A(15), cuneataside C(16), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone-4-O-β-D-apiose-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside(17), proanthocyanidin B2(18), and baimantuoluoamide B(19).

Radical oxidation of DNA gives rise to potentially deleterious lesions such as strand breaks and various nucleobase modifications including 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine (5-fo-dU), a prevalent product derived from the oxidation of the C5-methyl group of thymidine. The present study investigates the unusual transformation of 5-fo-dU into 5-hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine (5-oh-dU) and 5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydro-2'-deoxuridine (gly-dU), two products typically associated with the oxidation of 2'-deoxycytidine. Detailed mechanistic analyses reveal that hydrogen peroxide, either generated as a byproduct of ascorbate autoxidation or added exogenously, mediates the formation of these oxidatively induced C5-dealkylated products.

Gut microbiota has a proven link with the development and treatment of cancer. However, the causality between gut microbiota and cancer development is still unknown and deserves exploration. In this study, we aimed to explore the alterations in gut microbiota in murine tumor models and the crosstalk between the tumor and the gut microbiota.
