Herein, an analytical method was developed for rapid screening and identification of sesquiterpene lactones in Kudiezi injection using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap-orbitrap mass spectrometry(HPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap) in negative ion mode. First, two sesquiterpene lactone reference standards were analyzed to obtain their characteristic ESI-MS/MS fragmentation patterns. Second, based on extracted ion chromatography(EIC) data-mining method and characteristic fragmentation pathways analysis, sesquiterpene lactones in Kudiezi injection were rapidly screened and identified. Finally, an important parameter Clog P was adopted to discriminate the isomers of sesquiterpene lactones. As a result, 50 sesquiterpene lactones were characterized, including 9 sesquiterpene lactone aglycones, 39 sesquiterpene lactone glycosides, and 2 amino acid-sesquiterpene lactone conjugates. Among them, 13 compounds were tentatively identified as new compounds. The results demonstrated that the established method would be a rapid, effective analytical tool for screening and identification of sesquiterpene lactones in the complex system of natural medicines.展开更多

Herein, a selective dehydrogenation and solvent matched catalytic system under oxygen-free conditions was developed to try to achieve the one-step direct conversion of cyclic hemiacetal sugars toward their chiral glycosyl lactones. During the process, the inherent structural characteristics of sugar was efficiently utilized, and the transfer of its chiral centers was realized. Under the optimum condition, the corresponding lactones were successfully prepared from C_(4)-C6sugars with cyclic hemiacetal structure in acetonitrile. The reaction mechanism in acetonitrile was explored by the first principle density functional theory calculations and tracking reaction process. It was found that the high lactone yield in acetonitrile was due to the high proportion of α-conformation form among multiple tautomers in it. This selective dehydrogenation process may further extend the possibility of the preparation of chiral synthons from carbohydrates directly.展开更多

We analyzed the potentials of these isolates of Aeromonas hydrophila in causing biofilm formation, hemolysis, protease, and lipase. The antibiotic susceptibility of the 15 Aeromonas hydrophila isolates was also investigated. The detection of AHLs was carried out using the Chromobacterium violaceum strain CV026 as biosensors. The isolated strains were tested for the reaction of C. violaceum CV026 by cross-streaking on an agar plate. Production of AHLs was determined by the diffusing via the agar plates and the tinge of the biosensor strains. All isolated strains produced AHLs. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) showed the isolated strains had qseB and qseC genes. Susceptibility tests of A. hydrophila isolates were administered against 25 different antibiotic disks representing 12 classes of antibiotics. The strains were highly resistant to β-Lactam with 96.7% showing resistibility, whereas 97.7% susceptibility was found towards Aminoglycoside class of the antibiotic used. 60% showed intermediate resistant to Polypeptide. 100% of the strains showed no resistant to Aminoglycoside, Polypeptide, Monobactam, and Carbapenems class of antibiotics. Each of the isolates was found to be associated with at least one virulent factor. Our results clearly demonstrated that there is a presence of QseB/C genes in A. hydrophila and also produces AHLs molecule and virulence factors. The investigated isolates showed the pathogenic potential of Aeromonas hydrophila which makes it a serious threat to public health.展开更多
