Complex signal vectors, particularly spectra, are integral to many scientific domains. Interpreting these signals often involves decomposing them into contributions from independent components and subtraction or deconvolution of the channel and instrument noise. Despite the fundamental nature of this task, researchers frequently rely on costly commercial tools. To make such tools accessible to all, we present , interactive, open-source multiplatform software for interpolation, denoising, baseline correction, peak detection, and signal decomposition. provides a user-friendly graphical interface (GUI) that facilitates the analysis of spectroscopic data and more. It allows researchers to contribute to and freely distribute these tools, ensuring broad accessibility and fostering collaborative improvements. We present examples demonstrating the efficiency of the program using the spectra of different systems acquired by different spectroscopic techniques, including Raman (aspirin), IR (solid ammonia), XRD (anatase), and UV-vis (petal tip from the flower). These examples showcase a variety of spectra that differ significantly, from signals with narrow profiles to signals with very broad profiles. This demonstrates the versatility of for peak identification in a wide range of spectroscopic techniques.

A chemical investigation of the soil-derived fungus sp. XZ8 led to the isolation of five new indole alkaloids, trichindoles A-E (-), with diverse architectures, along with seven known analogues (-). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and modified Mosher's method.

Curcumae Longae Rhizoma (CLRh), Curcumae Radix (CRa), and Curcumae Rhizoma (CRh), derived from the different medicinal parts of the species, are blood-activating analgesics commonly used for promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. Due to their certain similarities in chemical composition and pharmacological effects, these three herbs exhibit a high risk associated with mixing and indiscriminate use. The diverse methods used for distinguishing the medicinal origins are complex, time-consuming, and limited to intraspecific differentiation, which are not suitable for rapid and systematic identification.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease characterized by insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell secretory function. Since existing treatments often present side effects based on different mechanisms, alternative therapeutic options are needed. In this scenario, the present study first evaluates the cytotoxicity of decoctions from the leaves, stems, and roots of L.
