Maquiroside A, a new cardiac glycoside, was isolated from the Peruvian plant Maquira calophylla. The structure was established using spectroscopic methods, and the aglycone was found to be cannogenol. The sugar portion was identified as D-cymarose. Maquiroside A demonstrated activity against the KB cell culture.

We present the results of a GC-MS and UHPLC-MS analysis of residue recovered from the marrow cavity of a 7,000-year-old bovid femur from Kruger Cave, South Africa. The femur was filled with an unknown substance into which were embedded three bone arrowheads, indicating that the femur served as a quiver. Our results reveal the presence of digitoxin and strophanthidin, both cardiac glycosides associated with hunting poisons.

Xueshuan Xinmaining Tablets and Capsules are two Chinese patent medicines with the same prescription, different preparation methods but the same function of replenishing Qi, activating blood, opening orifices, and relieving pain. Xueshuan Xinmaining Capsules were qualitatively analyzed by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS for the first time, and 61 compounds were identified, including 9 phenolic acids, 10 bufadienolides, 15 saponins, 5 bile acids, and 22 other compounds. The chemical composition was slightly different between Xueshuan Xinmaining Tablets and Capsules.
