Chemoautotrophic bacteria belonging to the genus Sulfurimonas in the class Campylobacteria are widespread in many marine environments characterized by redox interfaces, yet little is known about their physiological adaptations to different environmental conditions. Here, we used liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in a targeted metabolomics approach to study the adaptations of Sulfurimonas denitrificans to varying salt concentrations that are found in its natural habitat of tidal mudflats. Proline was identified as one of the most abundant internal metabolites and its concentration showed a strong positive correlation with ionic strength, suggesting that it acts as an important osmolyte in S. denitrificans. 2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate was also positively correlated with ionic strength, indicating it might play a previously unrecognized role in osmoregulation. Furthermore, the detection of metabolites from the reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle at high internal concentrations reinforces the importance of this pathway for carbon fixation in Campylobacteria and as a hub for biosynthesis. As the first report of metabolomic data for an campylobacterial chemolithoautotroph, this study provides data that will be useful to understand the adaptations of Campylobacteria to their natural habitat at redox interfaces.

Wild tomato species exhibit natural insect resistance, yet the specific secondary metabolites and underlying mechanisms governing the resistance remain unclear. Moreover, defense expression dynamically adapts to insect herbivory, causing significant metabolic changes and species-specific secondary metabolite accumulation. The present study aims to identify the resistance-related metabolites in wild tomato accessions that influence the defense mechanism against whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Asia II 7) and leafminer (Phthorimaea absoluta).

Natural products, particularly plants, remain a vital source of bioactive compounds owing to their unparalleled metabolic diversity across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods, and agriculture. However, this diversity, encompassing not only a multitude of compounds but also their varying chemical and physical properties, presents a challenge in their effective utilization. Targeted analysis of specific metabolites, as well as untargeted approaches covering a wide metabolite range, necessitate optimal extraction solvents tailored to meet diverse requirements.

Objectives: Investigating the effect of melatonin (MLT) on the pharmacokinetics and related neurotransmitter and amino acid metabolism of vigabatrin (VGB) in epileptic rats in vivo.
Methods: High performance liquid chromatography was used to examine the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of VGB after intragastric administration dosing (50，100，200) mg/kg singly or in combination with melatonin (20 mg/kg) in rats. The single-compartment model of first-order elimination was fitted with the nonlinear mixed-effect model of first-order estimation.
