To enable an investigation of pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of Aucubin, Ajugol and Catalpol in rats, a high-performance liquid chromatography-electro spray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous quantitative determination of the three compounds. Biological samples were prepared by a simple protein precipitation with methanol (containing 0.05% formic acid). The analytes were separated by a C18 reversed phase column and detected with a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer in the multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode to monitor the precursor-to-product ion transitions of m/z 364.3→149.0 for Aucubin, m/z 366.5→151.1 for Ajugol, m/z 380.0→183.3 for Catalpol and m/z 530.3→183.1 for Picroside-II (IS) in positive ionization. Good linearity of each calibration curve was produced over the concentration range of 1-1000ng/mL. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 1ng/mL for the three analytes. This method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution studies of Aucubin, Ajugol and Catalpol in rat. The current results revealed pharmacokinetic behaviors of the herb compound and provided novel evidence of the presence of Aucubin and Catalpol in rat brain. The acquired data would be helpful for the clinical application and further studies of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) with active ingredients of Iridoid Glycosides.

Background: The aging of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) impairs bone tissue regeneration, contributing to skeletal disorders. LncRNA NEAT1 is considered as a proliferative inhibitory role during cellular senescence, but the relevant mechanisms remain insufficient. This study aims to elucidate how NEAT1 regulates mitotic proteins during BMSCs aging.

Background: Bacterial toxins are emerging as promising hallmarks of colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis. In particular, Cytotoxic Necrotizing Factor 1 (CNF1) from E. coli deserves special consideration due to the significantly higher prevalence of this toxin gene in CRC patients with respect to healthy subjects, and to the numerous tumor-promoting effects that have been ascribed to the toxin in vitro.

Background: Quantitative molecular imaging via single-photon emission computed tomography-derived standardised uptake value (SPECT/CT-SUV) is used to assess the response of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients to targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) with [Lu]Lu-PSMA. This imaging technique determines the radiopharmaceutical distribution and internal dosimetry in patients who receive TRT. However, there is limited evidence regarding the role of image quantification in monitoring changes induced by [Lu]Lu-PSMA.

This study presents an investigation of the chemical composition of Aloe vera leaf tissue with a focus on the spatial distribution of compounds. The composition was studied using two mass spectrometry imaging techniques: silver-109 nanoparticles assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (AgNPs-LDI-MSI) and laser ablation-remote atmospheric pressure photoionization/chemical ionization mass spectrometry imaging (LARAPPI/CI-MSI) and the identification was aided by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-UHRMS) analysis. The results showed an abundance of phenolic compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a beneficial food additive and food packaging material.
