Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography systems for the separation of ranitidine and its metabolites ranitidine-N-oxide, ranitidine-S-oxide, and desmethylranitidine have been developed for use in high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A direct liquid introduction-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry system to analyse qualitatively and quantitatively solutions containing ranitidine and its metabolites by reversed-phase chromatography is described. A sample of urine collected from a subject given an oral dose of 75 mg of ranitidine and 75 mg of tris-deuterated ranitidine was analysed by this system. Ranitidine and its metabolites were identified by the ion doublets in the mass spectra which were 3 a.m.u. apart.

This study presents the first set of data on the removal of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine H2 receptor antagonists (HRAs) and their transformation products in two Romanian wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), as well as the impact of these organic pollutants on freshwater receiving effluents. The research investigated eight target pharmaceuticals and three metabolites using a newly developed and validated Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. The combined determination had a range of quantification limits varying from 0.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ruda-6 (RD-6), a typical traditional Mongolian medicine formulae consisting of 6 herbs, has been traditionally used in treating gastric disorders. Even though it has been shown to protect against gastric ulcers (GU) in animal models, the gut microbiome and serum metabololite-related mechanisms that prevent GU are not well understood.
Aim Of The Study: This study was conducted to evaluate the gastroprotective mechanism of RD-6 associated with the alteration of the gut microbiome and serum metabolic profiles in GU rats.

Precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC) are the most important pathological phase with increased risk of gastric cancer (GC) and encompass the key stage in which the occurrence of GC can be prevented. In this study, we found that the gut microbiome changed significantly during the process of malignant transformation from chronic gastritis to GC in N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) multiple factors-induced rat model. Accumulating evidence has shown that alterations in gut microbiota and metabolism are potentially linked to chronic inflammation and cancer of the gastrointestinal tract.

Different species belonging to the genus (Acyonaceae) are a rich resource for bioactive secondary metabolites. The literature reveals that the gastroprotective effects of marine secondary metabolites have not been comprehensively studied in vivo. Hence, the present investigation aimed to examine and determine the anti-ulcer activity of 4,24-dimethyl-5-cholest-8,18-dihydroxy,22-en-3-ol () isolated from samples of a species.

In some Brazilian coastal cities, it is common to observe 'black tongues' in beaches, i.e. a mixture of urban runoff and untreated domestic sewage containing pollutants of emerging concern, namely pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), flowing into the South Atlantic Ocean.
