In the primary fragmentation pathway, opening of the macrolide ring occurs by displacement of the carboxyl group by a base-catalyzed attack of the C32 hemiketal hydroxy group on C31, yielding an oxirane-carboxylic acid, named goniodomic acid. The oxirane ring is unstable, undergoing solvolytic opening to form mainly GDA-sa. Experimental support for this pathway obtained by carrying out the ring-opening reaction in H<sub>2</sub><sup>18</sup>O resulted in incorporation of the isotopic label at C32 of the seco acid. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectrometry of Na<sup>+</sup> and NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> ion adducts was employed to establish that ring-opening of the macrolide ring occurred by alkyl-O cleavage. Fragmentation was dominated by Grob-Wharton decarboxylation and retro-Diels-Alder reactions of the labeled seco acids. Direct observation of goniodomic acid was achieved when the ring-opening reaction was carried out under anhydrous conditions. A minor alkyl-O cleavage pathway gives rise to iso-GDA-sa by allylic attack at C29 of GDA or of the oxirane. In the formation of both GDA-sa and iso-GDA-sa, ring-opening is likely to be catalyzed by Na<sup>+</sup> and NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>.

Particulate matter (PM) has been repeatedly shown to modify macrophage function and polarization while also inducing worsening respiratory infection morbidity and mortality. However, limited work has considered the impact of the initial macrophage polarization state on subsequent responses to PM exposure. PM composition can demonstrate seasonality-specific compositional changes based on differences in seasonal weather patterns and energy needs, introducing the need to consider the seasonality-specific effects of airborne PM when investigating its impact on human health. This study sought to determine the impact of airborne PM collected during different seasons of the year in Xinxiang, China, on macrophage function in a polarization state-dependent manner. Macrophages were differentiated using the macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) on CD14+CD16- monocytes isolated from the blood of healthy human volunteers. The resulting macrophages were polarized into indicated states using well-characterized polarization methods and assessed for phagocytic function, bioenergetic properties, and secretory profile following exposure to PM collected during a single day during each season of the year. Macrophages demonstrated clear polarization state-dependent phagocytic, bioenergetic, and secretory properties at the baseline and following PM exposure. Specific PM seasonality had a minimal impact on phagocytic function and a minor effect on bioenergetic properties but had clear impacts on the secretory profile as demonstrated by the enriched secretion of well-characterized mediator clusters by particle season. Together, these data suggest that both particle seasonality and macrophage polarization state must be considered when investigating the impact of PM on macrophage function.

Our findings further clarify the oxidation chemistry of thymidine and highlight a novel oxidative decomposition pathway that can help understand the fate of certain types of DNA damage.

This work investigates the formation of aerosol mass, bioactive hydroxyquinones, and harmful or potentially harmful carbonyls from the e-cigarette vaping of natural and synthetic cannabinoids e-liquids in propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin (PG/VG) solvent at a 50 mg/mL concentration in a commercial fourth-generation vaping device. The following cannabinoids were studied: cannabidiol (CBD), 8,9-dihydrocannabidiol (H2CBD), 1,2,8,9-tetrahydrocannabidiol (H4CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA). Quantification of analytes was performed using liquid chromatography coupled to accurate mass spectrometry. The addition of cannabinoids significantly increased aerosol and carbonyl formation compared with the PG/VG solvent alone. All cannabinoids in the study formed hydroxyquinones during vaping (up to ∼1% mass conversion) except for CBDA, which primarily decarboxylated to CBD. Hydroxyquinone formation increased and carbonyl formation decreased, with a decreasing number of double bonds among CBD and its synthetic analogues (H2CBD and H4CBD). During the vaping process, ∼3-6% of the cannabinoid mass can be observed as carbonyls under the study conditions. Oxidation of the terpene moiety on the cannabinoids is proposed as a major contributor to carbonyl formation. CBD produced significantly higher concentrations of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, diacetyl, and methylglyoxal compared with the other cannabinoid samples. CBG produced significantly higher levels of acetone, methacrolein, and methylglyoxal. Conversion of CBD to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) was not observed under the study conditions.
