A reverse-phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the analysis of metoprolol in the large number of human plasma samples obtained in in vitro-in vivo correlations (IVIVC) and bioavailability studies of extended release formulations of metoprolol tartrate. The metabolite, alpha-hydroxy metoprolol (OH-met), could also be quantified. The analytes were extracted from the plasma using solid phase columns, separated on a C-4 analytical column followed by fluorimetric detection. The linearity, precision, accuracy, stability, selectivity and ruggedness were validated for the concentration ranges of 1-400 ng ml-1 for metoprolol and 0.5-200 ng ml-1 for OH-met. The same chromatographic conditions were slightly modified to quantify dextromethorphan and its metabolite dextrorphan in urine in the concentration range 0.052-0.05 microgram ml-1 as a method for screening for fast metabolizers.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the metabolic disturbances associated with glioblastoma (GBM) by combining Mendelian randomization analysis with clinical validation.
- Summary data were collected from genome-wide association studies on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma metabolites, leading to a two-sample MR analysis to identify potential associations with GBM.
- The results highlighted specific metabolites related to GBM, notably 7-alpha-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholestenoate (7-HOCA), which showed significant elevation in GBM patients, suggesting it could serve as a biomarker and therapeutic target for diagnosis and treatment.

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive primary malignant brain tumor characterized by rapid progression, poor prognosis, and high mortality rates. Understanding the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) metabolites and GBM is crucial for identifying potential biomarkers and pathways involved in the pathogenesis of this devastating disease.
Methods: In this study, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was employed to investigate the causal relationship between 338 CSF metabolites and GBM.
A novel ultra-performance liquid chromatography detection method development and validation for paclitaxel and its major metabolite in human plasma.

Background: Paclitaxel is a promising anticancer drug for patients with ovarian, breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, prostate, and head-and-neck cancers. Paclitaxel follows nonlinear pharmacokinetics. The major metabolite of paclitaxel is 6-alpha-hydroxy paclitaxel, mediated by CYP2C8, while metabolism to two of its minor metabolites, 3'-p-hydroxypaclitaxel and 6a, 3'- p-dihydroxypaclitaxel, is catalyzed by CYP3A4.

In the brewing process, methionine is a decisive amino acid for (off-)flavor formation. A significant part of methionine is oxidized to methionine sulfoxide (MetSO) in malt. We hypothesized that MetSO and MetSO are metabolized to volatile compounds during yeast fermentation and examined whether the yeast is able to catabolize l-MetSO and l-MetSO in free and dipeptide-bound forms.

Many bacterial natural products contain C-branched sugars, including components from the outer cell wall or antibiotically active metabolites. The enzymatic C-branching of keto sugars leading to longer side chains (≥C) is catalyzed by thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent enzymes. Chiral tertiary α-hydroxy ketones are formed in this process.
