Curcumin complexes with iron ions were investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. It was shown that in methanol solutions of curcumin and iron(III) ions, complexes are formed with a stoichiometry of 1 : 1, 2 : or 3 : 1. Curcumi-iron(II) complexes were created only with the 1 : 1 stoichiometry. Abundances of the 1 : 1 ions depend on the source of iron [(II) or (III)] and the reduction process of iron(III) by higher cone- voltage values. A counter-ion for the iron cation does not affect the types of formed complexes. For comparison, methanol solutions of acetylacetone (acac) and mixtures of acac and curcumin with iron salts were also investigated.

Etomidate and its structural analogues, which have anesthetic effects, are classified as controlled psychotropic drugs. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have become more and more popular. With the increase of adding etomidate and its analogues to electronic liquids (e-liquids), there is a trend of abuse, which is a tough problem urgently need to be solved.

This study aimed to develop molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanoparticles specifically for the selective extraction and enrichment of progesterone (P) from royal jelly (RJ), and quantitatively analyzed them by ultra-performance-liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS). Gaussian software-based theoretical calculations identified methacrylic acid (MAA) as the optimal functional monomer for its strong binding affinity to P. MIP was synthesized by precipitation polymerization, and the preparation process of MIP was optimized by one-way variance design and response surface methodology.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the detection of osimertinib in rat plasma, lung and brain tissues.

Methods: Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into an experimental group (receiving osimertinib at doses of 5, 8, and 10 mg/kg) and a control group. After continuous intragastric administration for 15 days, samples of blood, lung, and brain tissue were collected.
