UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS/MS was used to systematically analyze and compare the alkaloids in Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix, Aconiti Radix, and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata. After the samples were pretreated in the solid-phase extraction cartridges, 0.1% ammonium hydroxide(A)-acetonitrile(B) was used for gradient elution. The LC-MS method for characterization of alkaloids in the three herbal medicines was established in ESI positive ion mode to collect high resolution MS data of reference substances and samples. On the basis of the information of reference substance cracking behavior, retention time, accurate molecular mass, and related literature, a total of 155 alkaloids were identified in Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix, Aconiti Radix, and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Prae-parata. Specifically, 130, 127, and 92 alkaloids were identified in Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix, Aconiti Radix, and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, respectively. Monoester alkaloids and amino-alcohol alkaloids were dominant in the three herbal medicines, and the alkaloids in Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix and Aconiti Radix were similar. This paper can provide a reference for elucidating the pharmacological effects and clinical application differences of the three herbal medicines produced from plants of Aconitum.

Aconitum herbs contain several highly toxic diester-diterpenoid alkaloids, including aconitine, mesaconitine, and hypaconitine. However, finding the cause of death is rather difficult for forensic pathologists during forensic autopsy of aconitine-induced death. Therefore, the ability to determine Aconitum alkaloids is important in these cases.

Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata (Fuzi) polysaccharide (FZP) is a key bioactive macromolecule derived from the root of Aconitum carmichaeli Debx. FZP has a variety of biological activities, including immunomodulatory, anti-tumor, anti-depressant, organ-protective, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and other activities. The biological activities of polysaccharides are closely related to their structures, and different extraction and purification methods will yield different polysaccharide structures.

Objective: In some regions of the globe, accidental food confusion regarding plants can cause severe poisoning events and deaths. The aim of this study was to report on those confusions from the Marseille Poison Control Centre's (PCC) experience from 2002 to 2023.
Results: Over 22 years, 2197 food confusion events were managed with 321 different species.

Purpose: This study examines the interaction between benzoylmesaconine (BMA) and hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) under various physiological conditions, aiming to determine how BMA affects the HEWL's structure and function.
Methods: Several analytical techniques were used, including tryptophan assay, light scattering, thioflavin T (ThT)-binding assay, dynamic light scattering, 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS)-binding assay, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, enzyme activity assay, and molecular docking.
Results: The tryptophan assay displayed a concentration-dependent decrease in tryptophan fluorescence, showing an interaction between BMA and HEWL.
[Scientific connotation in processing of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata with Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma based on "interactions between excipients and herbal medicine and component transformation" dynamic processing].

The processing of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is a core theory within TCM, embodying deep philosophical, cultural, and natural scientific wisdom. Among the various techniques, the "synergistic processing of medicinal materials and excipients" has garnered significant attention due to its uniqueness. This study explored the impact of the adjuvant Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma on the dynamic process of component transformation during the processing of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata using techniques such as acidic dye colorimetry, UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, density functional theory(DFT), and molecular dynamics simulations(MDS).
