Released <i>N-</i>glycan and glycopeptide data form the basis for integrating information across different structural levels up to intact glycoproteins. Comprehensive comparison showed that indeed, variations across structural levels were observed especially for minor abundant species. Utilizing modification finder (MoFi), a tool for annotating mass spectra of intact proteins, we quantify isobaric glycosylation variants at the intact protein level. Our workflow's utility is demonstrated on NISTmAb, rituximab and adalimumab, profiling their minor abundant variants for the first time across diverse structural levels.

Epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role in the development and progression of diseases, making it essential to understand these mechanisms in order to identify potential targets for drug development and clinical treatment. The intersection of ferroptosis and epigenetics has opened up new avenues for research in drug development, offering innovative strategies for combating diseases. Recent studies have shown that epigenetic modifications can impact pathways related to ferroptosis, potentially leading to organ dysfunction. Despite the increasing focus on this relationship, the role of epigenetic regulation in drug development remains largely unexplored. This article explores current research on the interplay between epigenetic regulation and ferroptosis, delving into their regulatory mechanisms and discussing the effects of existing epigenetic modification regulators on diseases. Additionally, we highlight ongoing research on epigenetic factors involved in targeting ferroptosis in cancer, providing new insights for the development of cancer treatments.</p>","PeriodicalId":94338,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmaceutical analysis","volume":"14 10","pages":"101012"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11755343/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143030692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the development of an accurate and rapid point-of-care testing (POCT) platform for the quantitative detection of antibiotics is necessary. In this study, Cerium oxide (CeO<sub>2</sub>) and Ferrosoferric oxide (Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) nanoparticles were simultaneously encapsulated into N-doped nanofibrous carbon microspheres to form of a novel nanozyme (CeFe-NCMzyme) with a porous structure, high surface area, and N-doped carbon material properties, leading to a considerable enhancement of the peroxidase (POD)-like activity compared with that of the CeO<sub>2</sub> or Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles alone. The POD-like activity of CeFe-NCMzyme can be quenched using L-Cysteine (Cys) and subsequently restored by the addition of a quinolone antibiotic (norfloxacin, NOR). Therefore, CeFe-NCMzyme was used as a colorimetric sensor to detect NOR via an \"On-Off\" model of POD-like activity. The sensor possessed a wide linear range of 0.05-20.0 μM (<i>R</i> <sup>2</sup> = 0.9910) with a detection limit of 35.70 nM. Furthermore, a smartphone-assisted POCT platform with CeFe-NCMzyme was fabricated for quantitative detection of NOR based on RGB analysis. With the use of the POCT platform, a linear range of 0.1-20.0 μM and a detection limit of 54.10 nM were obtained. The spiked recoveries in the water samples were ranged from 97.73% to 102.01%, and the sensor exhibited good accuracy and acceptable reliability. This study provides a portable POCT platform for the on-site and quantitative monitoring of quinolone antibiotics in real samples, particularly in resource-constrained settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":94338,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmaceutical analysis","volume":"14 10","pages":"101023"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11755334/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143030691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
