The analysis of polyphenolic compound in honey is very promising in determination of floral origin and so for quality control. This study approaches a new methodology using integrated methods for the determination of honey authenticity. Polyphenolic compounds from seven different types of monofloral honey from two different sources were extracted and analyzed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Chromatographic analysis was performed on TLC Silica gel 60 RP-18 F254 plates using a mobile phase consisting in a mixture of methanol: water: formic acid (5: 5: 0.1, v/v/v). The images from the TLC analysis were processed and the obtained chromatograms together with the UV-Vis deconvoluted spectra of honey were subjected to visual and statistical analysis. The obtained results showed notable differences between the honey samples, which can be used to establish their floral origin and for their authentication. The proposed methodology is easy to perform, cost-effective and offers complementary information, therefore it has the potential of being used for the honey authentication.

To dynamically monitor GSH, cysteine, 14,15-EET, and 15-HETE, an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed. The derivative GSH, cysteine, and underivatized 14,15-EET, 15-HETE were determined by electrospray ionization source with multiple reaction monitoring. The developed method was well validated and applied to monitor the extracellular concentration of GSH, cysteine, 14,15-EET, and 15-HETE in paraquat (PQ) poisoning LO2 cells. It was shown that the derivation of GSH and cysteine is complete and specific. There was a good linear relationship among GSH, cysteine, 14,15-EET, and 15-HETE. The relative standard deviations of precision and accuracy were all within 15%. After PQ poisoning, the extracellular concentrations of GSH and cysteine were increased at 72 h. 14,15-EET and 15-HETE started to increase at 24 h, earlier than GSH and cysteine. Irreversible pathological alterations appeared at 48 h. In conclusion, a fast and specific UPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of GSH, cysteine, 14,15-EET, and 15-HETE has been developed and validated. PQ induced the increase of 14,15-EET and 15-HETE earlier than that of GSH and cysteine in LO2 cells culture medium.

The parameters that influence extraction efficiency, the nature and volume of the extraction solvent, as well as the pH nature, were improved and a standard solution of Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) was used. Results indicated that SPE is clearly more successful than ITLLE extraction under optimum conditions. The validated method showed that this approach had good linearity, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.991 to 0.998 and low detection and quantification limits of 0.01–0.03 ng L−1 and 0.03–0.9 ng L−1, respectively. Relative standard deviations were in the range of 0.2 and 1.2%, while extraction recoveries varied from 79 to 97%. The SPE was selected and, optimum recoveries for OPPs were obtained at pH 7, with 10 mL of ethyl acetate. The suggested approach was effectively applied to the analysis of water samples collected from the Medjerda River in two seasons. The average OPPs concentrations ranged from not detected (ND) to 17.5 ng L−1 during the dry season and from not detected ND to 13.1 ng L−1 during the wet season. The results demonstrate that none of the OPPs concentrations measured exceeded the regulatory limits.

Although the clinical efficacy of QSF has been recognized, its mechanism of action and active ingredients are still unclear. This study aims to explore the potential Q-Marker of QSF and reveal its anti-lung cancer mechanism. Firstly, the fingerprints of 10 batches of QSF were established, and the potential Q-markers were screened by chemometrics, then network pharmacology and molecular docking methods were used to explore its anti-lung cancer mechanism. Finally, the potential Q-markers were quantitatively by UPLC-QDA. The results showed that 48 common peaks were identified by the established fingerprint, and calycosin, ginsenoside Rg1, atractylenolide III, atractylenolide I and ginsenoside Rb1 were screened as potential Q-Markers of QSF by chemometrics. Network pharmacology and molecular docking found that the potential Q-Markers may regulate various signaling pathways through targets such as FOS, IL6, EGFR, ESR1, MAPK1, and MAPK3, and play a therapeutic role in lung cancer. Besides, the established UPLC-QDA can also perform quality control for Q-Markers of QSF. This study can provide academic ideas and lay a foundation for the comprehensive quality control and mechanism research of QSF and other compound preparation.

After being roasted with honey, licorice has a cardiac protective effect. Due to its different sources, the chemical components in licorice are also diverse. To distinguish the different compounds between three sources of raw licorice (RL) and between three sources of honey-roasted licorice (HRL), a UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS method was established. Eighteen batches of samples were analyzed which were derived from Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., Glycyrrhiza inflata Bat., and Glycyrrhiza glabra L. In addition, the potential key pathways of HRL to anti-arrhythmia were explored by network pharmacology. Among the three sources of RL, 77 differential compounds were detected in the positive ion mode; and 62 differential compounds were detected in the negative ion mode, of which 21 differential compounds were detected in both ion modes. Twenty-nine differential compounds were identified before and after honey-roasted of G. uralensis Fisch., 51 and 17 differential compounds were identified in G. glabra L. and G. inflata Bat., receptively. The network pharmacological analysis predicted that Rap1, Ras, PI3K-Akt, and cAMP signaling pathway might be closely related to the anti-arrhythmia mechanism of HRL. This study provides a theoretical reference for the quality improvement and clinical application of licorice.
