A nontargeted approach based on liquid chromatography equipped with a quadrupole time-of-flight mass detector (LC-MS Q-TOF) joined to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis allowed rapid identification and quantification of the anti-inflammatory drug aceclofenac in illegal Adderall tablets. The largest chromatographic peak had m/z = 354.030 and m/z = 376.012 matching, respectively, the ionic structures (M + H) and (M + Na) of a molecule M. The accurate mass data generated the molecular formula C H Cl NO . A screening of the pharmaceutical active substances having that molecular formula together with the MS/MS fragmentation pattern suggested aceclofenac. Aceclofenac structure was unambiguously confirmed by H and C NMR experiments. The aceclofenac content was 90 mg/tablet (RSD 2%) as detected by quantitative NMR. Information on the identity and content of illegal drugs is required for legal purposes; it supports in evaluating the effective impact on users safety, and it is useful for control laboratories using a targeted approach in their analytical activities.

On the causal connection in lifespan correlations and the possible existence of a 'number of life' at molecular level.

Multiple physiological traits correlates with lifespan, being unclear both the causal connection among them and with the process of ageing. In this paper, we show that six traits (such as metabolic rate, mass, heart rate, etc) acting at the system level, are all related to lifespan thru the existence of an approximately constant number of respiration cycles in a lifespan ([Formula: see text]), therefore, we find that those relationships are not independently related to ageing. In addition, we study if the approximately constant [Formula: see text] is possibly linked with the end-of-lifespan somatic mutation burden, another number recently found to be approximately constant (Cagan, Nature 604:517-524, 2022).

Bovine endometritis has become a persistent issue in the global dairy business, resulting in huge economic losses. Due to their numerous positive benefits, Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) have recently demonstrated remarkable pharmacological potential against endometritis. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the Yimucao formula (YMF) that involves five herbs in lactation cows under endometritis conditions.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease with a high clinical morbidity and leads to persistent chronic inflammation. Sanmiao wan is a classic formula for the treatment of RA, and the results of clinical and experimental studies have shown its therapeutic effect on RA. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear.
