The problem of longer retention times using water-rich mobile phases in reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) has been addressed using hydrophobic alcohols such as butanol in very low quantities (approximately 0.1%) as the organic modifier. Advantages of water-rich mobile phases in RPLC for the separation of water-soluble and weakly retained compounds are improved separation of congeners and better tuning of RPLC separations. This is demonstrated in the separation of gentisic acid and related renal cell carcinoma (RCC) biomarkers in urine with a Zorbax C column and a mobile phase of 0.1% (volume/volume) butanol in water with 0.6% (volume/volume) acetic acid. Calibration curves for the RCC biomarkers were linear over the concentration range investigated (5 ppm to 1000 ppm). Detection limits for the RCC biomarkers were 0.85ppm (quinolinic acid), 1.75ppm (gentisic acid), and 1.25ppm (4-hydroxybenzoic acid). Recovery tests using synthetic urine samples containing 20 ppm, 100 ppm, and 700 pm of each RCC biomarker were successful for all compounds.

Objective: To detect phenolic acid compounds in various fruits and explore the differences in phenolic acids among different types of fruits.
Methods: The collected 75 types of fruits were classified into 6 categories: citrus、melon、drupe、berry、tropical fruit and pome fruits. The phenolic acid compounds were detected by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Huangkui capsule (HKC), a patent traditional Chinese medicine, has shown significant efficacy in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly diabetic nephropathy (DN). Previous studies have shown that HKC can alleviate kidney damage in DN. However, the exact mechanisms through which it exerts its effects remain unclear.

One percent of persons over 65 years of age suffer from Parkinson's disease, a neurological ailment marked by dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway gradually dying and being depleted in the striatum. Parkin and PINK1 gene mutations, which are essential for mitophagy and impair mitochondrial function, are the cause of it. Parkinson's disease is linked to a number of motor and impairment disorders, including bradykinesia, rigid muscles, tremor at rest, and imbalance.

Asthma, a lung disorder that causes impaired respiratory function, is characterized by an apparent infiltration of inflammatory cells. Gentisic acid (GA), a phenolic acid common in food ingredients, has antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its potential application in mitigating asthma, however, remains unexplored.
