Aim: Co-metabolism between a human host and the gastrointestinal microbiota generates many small phenolic molecules such as 3-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid (3,3-HPHPA), which are reported to be elevated in schizophrenia and autism. Characterization of these chemicals, however, has been limited by analytic challenges.
Methodology/results: We applied HPLC to separate and quantify over 50 analytes, including multiple structural isomers of 3,3-HPHPA in human cerebrospinal fluid, serum and urine. Confirmation of identity was provided by NMR, by MS and other detection methods. The highly selective methods support rapid quantification of multiple metabolites and exhibit superior chromatographic behavior.
Conclusion: An improved ultra-HPLC-MS/MS and structural approaches can accurately quantify 3,3-HPHPA and related analytes in human biological matrices.

Aquaculture systems generate large amounts of sludge that represent serious environmental threats if discharged directly into local ecosystems. However, this nutrient-rich sediment can contribute to nutrient cycling by being applied as an organic fertilizer to ornamental medicinal trees during their early growth stages. To investigate the potential advantages of using recirculating aquaculture system sludge (RASS) and biofloc technology sludge (BFTS) as organic fertilization alternatives to chemical fertilization, a pot trial was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Egypt.

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) inflict significant economic losses on sheep and goat farming globally due to reduced productivity and the development of anthelmintic resistance. Sustainable control strategies are urgently needed including the exploration of medicinal plants as safer alternatives to chemical anthelmintics. This genus of plants is used for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities.

Carboxylic acids and aromatic compounds are essential building blocks and starting materials for the production of a wide range of fine chemicals and materials. Their recovery from kraft black liquor, an industrial effluent from pulp and paper mills, is a promising way to produce alternative bio-based chemicals. Reliable methods are needed to identify and quantify the molecules of interest in complex mixtures such as black liquors.
