Article Abstract
Rotigotine behenate (RGTB), a long chain alkyl ester of the prodrug of rotigotine (RGT), has been synthesized for use in a sustained delivery system. The aim of the present report was to develop and validate a simple, sensitive and reliable LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of RGT and its prodrug RGTB in rat plasma samples. Detection was performed on a 1290 Infinity UPLC coupled Triple Quad 4500 mass spectrometer operated in positive MRM mode using an Eclipse XDB-CN chromatography column (2.1mm×100mm, 3.5μm) by isocratic elution using a 0.2% formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile, with stable isotope labeled RGT as an internal standard. The sample preparation method employed 50μL of a plasma sample and liquid-liquid extraction with a mixture of diethyl ether-dichloromethane (3:2, v/v) as the extraction solvent. The proposed method was fully validated by assessing its specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy, recovery, matrix effects and stability. Good linearity was found within the range of 0.1-10.0ng/mL for both analytes (r>0.996). This method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of a slow release RGTB formulation in rats following a single intramuscular injection and biological conversion in vitro.

Background: Activin A/Smad signaling plays an important role in promoting cancer stemness and chemoresistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), however the precise regulation on the termination of this pathway has not been fully understood.
Methods: LncRNA SLC7A11-AS1 interacting proteins were identified through RNA pull-down followed by LC-MS/MS. The protein interaction was analyzed by co-immunoprecipitation.

: Postmenopausal conditions can lead to metabolic disorders such as obesity and steatosis. (PT), a prominent traditional Chinese medicine, exerts potential therapeutic effects against hepatic injury. Nevertheless, the extent to which PT ameliorates liver damage resulting from estrogen deficiency, along with the associated mechanisms, remains poorly understood.

Context: Newborn screening (NBS) for 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) has historically shown high false positive (FP) rates, especially in low birth weight (LBW) infants. In 2022, we proposed a second-tier liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based algorithm to improve screening specificity; however, its real-world performance remains unassessed prospectively.
Objective: To prospectively evaluate our LC-MS/MS-based screening algorithm for 21OHD and develop a refined version addressing newly identified clinical limitations.
Plasma lipidome dysregulation in frontotemporal dementia reveals shared, genotype-specific, and severity-linked alterations.

Introduction: Biomarkers are essential for monitoring the progression of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Although dysregulated brain lipid metabolism, particularly sphingolipids enriched in the nervous system, is a key feature of neurodegeneration, plasma lipids remain underexplored as biomarkers compared to imaging and serum proteins.
Methods: We examined plasma lipidomes using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) from individuals carrying pathogenic variants linked to autosomal dominant FTD (GRN, C9orf72, MAPT) and non-carriers.

Pu-erh raw tea (PRT), a post-fermented tea, is prized for its complex flavor profile and health-promoting properties. While extended storage enhances its sensory attributes, the decade-scale metabolic dynamics underpinning flavor evolution remain unexplored. This study comprehensively characterized non-volatile metabolomic profiles and flavor changes in PRT across a 10-year storage period (2012-2023).
