These pharmaceutical products are usually encountered as a part of drugs used in treatment and medical procedures. However, the analytical determination and quantification of active ingredients and impurities belonging to active ingredients in such products is a complicated process. This is because the retention time of impurities belonging to the glucose molecule in these pharmaceutical structures and the presence of salts that give peaks in similar places complicate the analysis process. Moreover, when the British Pharmacopoeia (BP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and US Pharmacopoeia (USP) are examined, it is seen that there are only monographs belonging to glucose raw material and there is no record regarding the determination of impurities belonging to glucose in pharmaceutical products containing glucose-salt complex structures. A new method has been developed within the scope of the study to prevent this complexity. As a result of the method development studies, the specific solvent method was optimized and a relatively simple pre-purification process with high recovery was applied to avoid salt interference. In addition, high-precision determination and validation studies of glucose and its impurities were carried out using the High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Refractive Index Detector (HPLC-RID) method. This new analytical approach is expected to contribute to the development of reliable and high-quality products in the healthcare field by raising industry standards.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":348,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chromatography B","volume":"1264 ","pages":"Article 124717"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144572137","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}

To ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of recombinant HZ vaccines, comprehensive characterization of its antigen, recombinant glycoprotein E (RgE), is critical. However, due to the extreme complexity and heterogeneity of RgE, a single analytical platform is insufficient for comprehensive characterization. This study developed an innovative LC-MS-based workflow that combines multiple-parallel-protease digestion, various separation techniques (nano-flow LC, high-flow LC, and native separation), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) with multiple ion activation methods to achieve a comprehensive analysis of RgE. As a result, 21 and 21 <em>O</em>-glycosylation and phosphorylation sites were identified by EThcD-induced LC-MS/MS. Two <em>N</em>-glycosylation sites (N207 and N406) were identified with various <em>N</em>-glycans. The most abundant <em>N</em>-glycan for N207 was A2S2F. The top five <em>N</em>-glycans detected for N406 were also identified. Additionally, five disulfide linkages were detected for RgE. They were Cys 195-Cys 205, Cys 401-Cys 411, Cys 177-Cys 189, Cys 365-Cys 374, and Cys 356-Cys 382. For host cell protein (HCP) analysis, a high-sensitivity nano LC-MS/MS approach was applied, identifying 50 host cell proteins (HCPs), including two high-risk proteins, clusterin and peroxiredoxin-1. Additionally, molecular weight measurements obtained under both native and denatured conditions agreed well with the amino acid sequence acquired by peptide mapping. Following the optimization of the LC-MS workflow using RgE, the method was applied to evaluate recombinant zoster vaccines produced through different manufacturing processes. The results demonstrated that this workflow is highly effective for characterizing new recombinant zoster vaccines and may also serve as a valuable tool for the development of other complex recombinant vaccines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":348,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chromatography B","volume":"1263 ","pages":"Article 124712"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144518899","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}

These compounds demonstrated rapid absorption, prolonged retention time, and strong pharmacological potential. By integrating data from TCMSP, SwissTargetPrediction, and other databases, a compound–target–disease network was constructed, revealing through GO and KEGG enrichment analyses that YCF primarily exerts its effects via pathways such as AGE-RAGE, PI3K-AKT, and MAPK, thereby regulating oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis. These findings highlight the multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway synergistic nature of YCF in the treatment of DKD.
