Endogenous formate levels in blood and liver were assayed in rats both after inactivation of cobalamin (Cbl) by exposure to N2O as well as in air-breathing controls. The uptake of [14C]formate by tetrahydrofolate (H4folate) in bone marrow cells and liver homogenate and the incorporation of [14C]formate into purine, pyrimidine, methionine, serine and choline, was measured. There was a significant accumulation of endogenous formate following Cbl inactivation. There was impaired utilization of [14C]formate for single unit carbon (C1 unit) transfers mediated by folate in Cbl-inactivated tissues, other than for synthesis of adenine. The impairment was not accompanied by any accumulation of labelled methylH4folate indicating that methylfolate trapping played no part in impaired single carbon unit transfer. The effect of Cbl lack was a failure to form formylH4folate so that formate accumulated. The reason for this is not known.

Construction of metal-organic cages (MOCs) with internal modifications is a promising avenue to build enzyme-like cavities and unlocking the mystery of highly catalytic activity and selectivity of enzymes. However, current interests are mainly focused on single-metal-node cages, little achievement has been expended to metallocluster-based architectures, and the in situ endogenous generation of metal clusters. Herein, based on the hard-soft-acids-bases (HSAB), the metallocluster-based heterometallic MOC (CuVMOP) constructed of [CuOPz] and [VO(OCH)(SO)(CO)] clusters was obtained by one-pot method.

Article Synopsis
- Metabolomics using HILIC-MS is effective for identifying polar metabolites and aiding in biomarker discovery, but matrix effects can complicate biological analysis.
- Evaluation of matrix effects is critical in method development, and this study tested two techniques: stable isotope labeled-internal standards and post-column infusion (PCI).
- Results indicated that the PCI method is more advantageous for untargeted analysis, showing better performance in assessing matrix effects and highlighting significant ion suppression in various plasma samples.

The combination of venetoclax plus azacitidine (VTX-AZA) is FDA-approved to treat patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) aged ≥75 years and has become the standard of care for AML patients. However, the literature has not reported an analytical method for determining VTX-AZA in plasma samples. Therefore, developing an accurate and sensitive bioanalytical assay to quantify VTX-AZA in plasma is important.

An off-the-shelf Agilent 7100 capillary electrophoresis (CE) instrument was employed for the automated processing and analysis of dried blood spots (DBSs) collected by Capitainer®B volumetric devices. Solutions for DBS elutions were transferred directly into CE vials through a separation capillary by the application of an auxiliary nitrogen gas connected to the external pressure line of the CE instrument. This allowed for liquid handling at pressures up to 15 bar and enabled the use of a single capillary for rapid DBS processing and efficient CE separations.
