Shenling Baizhu Power (SBP), a classic formula from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), when integrated with enteral nutrition, has been proven to be an effective clinical strategy for treating the patients of MODSE with malnutrition. This study aimed to investigate the metabolic changes during disease occurrence and SBP treatment, and to discover potential metabolic biomarkers for the diagnosis and efficacy evaluation. An untargeted metabolomics strategy based on UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS was performed to reveal the differential serum metabolites between MODSE patients with malnutrition (n=59) and healthy controls (n=33), and those between patients treated with enteral nutrition (n=31) and SBP combined with enteral nutrition (n=28). Significantly different metabolites were identified and mapped onto the network of metabolic pathways to explore the metabolic disorders caused by the disease and the metabolic regulatory mechanism of SBP. Additionally, the area under the curve (AUC) of the potential biomarkers was investigated for predicting the disease and the efficacy of SBP. Sixty differential metabolites were identified between the disease and control groups, which were mainly related to amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism. In the same way, 50 differential metabolites associated with SBP treatment were identified, which improved metabolic abnormalities in vivo mainly by regulating the above-mentioned metabolic pathways. Finally, 13 differential metabolites in common were selected as the potential biomarkers and the AUC value of each biomarker was within the range of 0.8–1.0, indicating that these biomarkers had high prediction accuracy for the diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of MODSE with malnutrition. This study demonstrates that serum metabolomics approaches based on the UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS platform can be applied as a tool to reveal the metabolic changes induced by MODSE with malnutrition and SBP can play an important role in the clinical application.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16685,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142087252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the etiology is not yet fully understood. Profile assay of purine intermediates and uric acid involved in the metabolic pathway can provide additional insight into the nature and severity of related diseases. Purine metabolites are endogenous chemicals with high hydrophilicity, polarity, and similar structures, thus there is a great need for a specific method to quantify them directly in biological fluids with a short running time. Herein, eight purine degradation pathway metabolites, including xanthine, hypoxanthine, guanine, xanthosine, inosine, guanosine, adenosine and uric acid, in human plasma were quantitatively measured using hydrophilic interaction chromatography-tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry (HILIC-HRMS) in a short running time of 10 min. The method was systematically validated for specificity, linearity of the calibration curve, the limit of detection, the limit of quantification, the lower limit of quantification, precision, accuracy, extraction recovery, matrix effect, and stability. The results showed that the method was linear (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup> > 0.99), accurate (the intra- and inter-day recoveries of all analytes ranged from 90.0 % to 110.0 %), and precise (the intra- and inter-day precisions were less than 6.7 % and 8.9 %, respectively) with the lower limits of quantification ranging from 3 to 10,000 ng/mL. The extraction recoveries and matrix effects were repeatable and stable. All the analytes were stable in the autosampler and could be subject to three freeze-thaw cycles. The developed method was ultimately applied to 100 plasma specimens from healthy individuals. The results showed that the concentrations of different purine metabolites varied dramatically in plasma specimens. Diet and body mass index (BMI) were the most significant factors determining purine levels, followed by drinking and sex.

The findings of the present work reveal the characteristics of purine metabolism in human plasma under non-pathological conditions.

It is imperative to delineate the principal cell types susceptible to pyroptosis and concomitantly identify key genes associated with this process.

Many nitazene analogues act as potent agonists at the µ‑opioid receptor (MOR), as demonstrated in various <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> studies. Severe intoxication and overdose deaths associated with nitazene analogues are increasingly being reported. Nitazene opioids are classified as a public health threat, stressing the need for close monitoring of new developments on the recreational drug market. This study reports on the detection of <em>N</em>-desethyl etonitazene in a sample handed in by a recreational drug user at a Swiss drug checking service in August 2023. The person bought the sample through an internet source where it was stated to contain isotonitazene. Chemical analyses were conducted to characterize the sample, <em>i.e.</em> nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), capillary electrophoresis (CE), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The sample was additionally investigated using two different <em>in vitro</em> MOR activation assays. NMR and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to HRMS confirmed the presence of <em>N</em>-desethyl etonitazene at a high purity and in the absence of isotonitazene and etonitazene. <em>N</em>-Desethyl nitazene analogues have been detected before as metabolites of isotonitazene and etonitazene. However, as first seen with <em>N</em>-desethyl isotonitazene, they are now emerging as standalone drugs. The applied bioassays demonstrated increased efficacy and approximately 6–9-fold higher potency of <em>N</em>-desethyl etonitazene at MOR compared to fentanyl. <em>N</em>-Desethyl etonitazene showed EC<sub>50</sub> values of 3.35 nM and 0.500 nM in the β-arrestin 2 recruitment and Aequoscreen® assays, respectively.

The emergence of other <em>N</em>-desethyl nitazene analogues must be considered during forensic and clinical toxicology casework, to avoid misclassification of intake of such analogues as metabolites.
