Article Abstract
Lingzhi is the Chinese name given to the Ganoderma family of mushrooms, which was considered the most valuable medicine in ancient China and was believed to bring longevity, due to its mysterious power of healing the body and calming the mind. Today, Lingzhi is still widely revered as a valuable health supplement and herbal medicine worldwide, as studies (mostly conducted in China, Korea, Japan and the United States) into the medicinal and nutritional values of Lingzhi revealed that it does indeed contain certain bioactive ingredients (such as triterpenes and polysaccharides) that might be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of a variety of ailments, including important diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, hepatitis, cancers, and AIDS. As research into the biological activities of Lingzhi, as well as the quality assurance and quality control of Lingzhi products, require the isolation/purification of active ingredients from Lingzhi, followed by subsequent analytical and/or preparative separations, the present review summarizes the various chromatographic and electrophoretic methods (as well as sample pretreatment methods) typically employed to achieve such extraction/separation procedures.

Triphenyl-Modified Mixed-Mode Stationary Phases With and Without Embedded Ion-Exchange Sites for High-Performance Liquid Chromatography.
J Sep Sci

The present work reports on the preparation, characterization, and evaluation of a set of novel triphenyl-modified silica-based stationary phases without and with embedded ion-exchange sites for mixed-mode liquid chromatography. The three synthesized triphenyl phases differed in additionally incorporated ion-exchange sites. In one embodiment, allyltriphenylsilane was bonded to thiol-modified silica by thiol-ene click reaction, leading to particles with no ion-exchange sites.

Background And Purpose: The ligands of the imidazoline and α-adrenergic receptors are mainly imidazoline and guanidine derivatives, known as centrally-acting antihypertensives and compounds with potential use in various neurological disorders. The extent of their ionisation has a major influence on their behaviour in the different analytical systems. The main objective of this work was to compare the mechanism of chromatographic retention and electrophoretic mobility under acidic, neutral and basic conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new mixed-mode stationary phase for protein high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) by combining octyl and 2-pyridylethyl ligands on silica, aiming to reduce unfavorable interactions seen in standard butyl-bonded silica.
- This method involved creating a dense polymeric siloxane layer on silica, and the performance of this phase was compared to traditional butyl-bonded and mixed-mode octyl/3-aminopropyl silica phases.
- The study found that the new mixed-mode phase produced better protein separation under acidic conditions (pH 3) by reducing retention times and improving peak shapes, thanks to reduced silanophilic interactions.

The pS273R protease of the African swine fever virus (ASFV) is responsible for the processing of the viral polyproteins pp220 and pp62, precursors of the internal capsid of the virus. The protease is essential for a productive viral infection and is an attractive target for antiviral therapy. This work presents a method for the production of pS273R in E.
