Aim: To establish a LC-MS(n) method for the identification of anisodamine and its metabolites in rat feces.
Methods: Feces samples were collected after single administration of 25 mg x kg(-1) anisodamine to rats, and dipped in water for 1 h. Samples were then extracted by ethyl acetate. The pretreated samples were separated on a reversed-phase C18 column using a mobile phase of methanol / 0.01% triethylamine (adjusted to pH 3.5 with formic acid) (60 : 40, v/v) and detected by LC-MS". Identification of the metabolites and elucidation of their structures were performed by comparing their changes in molecular masses (deltaM), retention-times and full scan MS(n) spectra with those of the parent drug and blank feces.
Results: The parent drug and its seven metabolites (6beta-hydroxytropine, nor-6beta-hydroxytropine, aponoranisodamine, apoanisodamine, noranisodamine and hydroxyanisodamine, tropic acid) were found in rat feces.
Conclusion: This method is sensitive, rapid, simple, effective, and suitable for the rapid identification of drug and its metabolites in biologic samples.

Article Synopsis
- Tropane alkaloids (TAs) are toxic secondary metabolites from weeds that can contaminate cereals and vegetables, prompting regulations for their levels in infant food.
- This study examined how pH and temperature affect the stability of TAs during thermal processing, with tests at various pH levels and temperatures, including high heat that simulates cooking.
- Results showed that TAs are generally stable but degrade under high temperatures; notably, naturally contaminated millet flour had more stable atropine than when it was artificially spiked, indicating potential protective effects from the cereal matrix.

Putrescine, produced via the arginine decarboxylase (ADC)/ornithine decarboxylase (ODC)-mediated pathway, is an initial precursor for polyamines metabolism and the root-specific biosynthesis of medicinal tropane alkaloids (TAs). These alkaloids are widely used as muscarinic acetylcholine antagonists in clinics. Although the functions of ODC in biosynthesis of polyamines and TAs have been well investigated, the role of ADC is still poorly understood.

Endotoxemia is characterized by initial uncontrollable inflammation, terminal immune paralysis, significant cell apoptosis and tissue injury, which can aggravate or induce multiple diseases and become one of the complications of many diseases. Therefore, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic therapy is a valuable strategy for the treatment of endotoxemia-induced tissue injury. Traditional Chinese medicine exhibits great advantages in the treatment of endotoxemia.

Brugmansia candida (syn. Datura candida) is a South American native plant that produces tropane alkaloids. Hyoscyamine, 6β-hydroxyhyoscyamine (anisodamine), and scopolamine are the most important ones due to their anticholinergic activity.

Tropane alkaloids (TAs) such as anisodamine, anisodine, hyoscyamine and scopolamine are extensively used in clinical practice as anticholinergic agents. Anisodus acutangulus produces TAs in root tissue, and although several genes involved in scopolamine biosynthesis have been cloned, yet the biosynthetic pathway of TAs remains poorly understood. To further understand TAs biosynthesis mechanism, transcriptome analysis with deep RNA sequencing in A.
