Development of a next-generation chromatographic model, capable of simultaneously meeting academic demands for thermodynamic consistency and industrial requirements in everyday project work, has become a focal point of research. In this study, anti-Langmuirian to Langmuirian (AL-L) elution behavior was observed in cation-exchange chromatographic separation of charge variants of industrial Fc-fusion proteins. To characterize this behavior, the multi-protein Mollerup activity model was integrated into the steric mass action (SMA) model, resulting in a new model named the generalized ion-exchange (nGIEX) isotherm for multi-protein systems. An R2 exceeding 0.95 calibrated by three elution experiments indicates an effective description of the AL-L behavior (dynamic adsorption). Using isotherm sampling, the nGIEX model exhibited sigmoidal AL-L isotherms (static adsorption). Finally, the model's extrapolation capability was externally validated through process optimization, resulting in an optimal two-step elution condition and a yield improvement of the main variant from 25.9 % to 89.1 % within purity specifications (>70 %).

Mass spectrometry-based methods have become fundamental to exposome research, providing the capability to explore a broad spectrum of chemical exposures. Liquid and gas chromatography coupled with low/high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) are among the most frequently employed platforms due to their sensitivity and accuracy. However, these approaches present challenges, such as the inherent complexity of MS data and the expertise of biologists, chemists, clinicians, and data analysts to integrate and interpret MS data with other datasets effectively. The "omics" era advances rapidly, driven by developments of AI-based algorithms and an increase in accessible data; nevertheless, further efforts are necessary to ensure that exposomics outputs are comparable and reproducible, thus enhancing research findings. This review outlines the principles of MS-based methods for the exposome analytical pipeline, from sample collection to data analysis. We summarize and review both standard and cutting-edge strategies in exposome research, covering sample preparation, focusing on MS-based platforms, data acquisition strategies, and data annotation. The ultimate goal of this review is to highlight applications that enable the simultaneous analysis of endogenous metabolites and xenobiotics, which can help enhance our understanding of the impact of human exposure on health and disease and support personalized healthcare.

To effectively control food safety risks caused by nitroimidazoles (NDZs), a sensitive detection method was established on the basis of a newly-developed solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent named as Phl-TBM that is a porous polymer prepared by crosslinking natural phloretin with (2,4,6-tris(bromomethyl)mesitylene. The Phl-TBM presented outstanding NDZs adsorption capacity, which can be ascribed to its well-developed porosity and multiple hydrogen bonding sites. With Phl-TBM as SPE sorbent, NDZs were successfully isolated and enriched from lake water, Basa fish, and beef before being assayed by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector. This Phl-TBM based method has a detection limit of 0.02–0.06 ng mL−1 in lake water, 0.60–1.50 ng g−1 in Basa fish, and 0.70–1.20 ng g−1 in beef. The method recoveries are 80.0–120 % with relative standard deviations less than 8.1 %. This study presents an effective and feasible approach for detection of NDZs residues at trace level.

Identification of constitutive herbs in an herbal product is critical for ensuring its quality and efficacy. However, current identification methods often lack universality, entail long durations, and involve complex procedures. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop innovative methods for identifying constitutive herbs. This paper aims to propose a more refined, universal, simple, rapid, and eco-friendly method for identifying more constitutive herbs in herbal products, significantly enhancing the precision and efficiency of quality control method of herbal products. Leveraging UHPLC‒Q‒TOF‒MS (ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry) data of herbs and the R language, we devised algorithms to find exclusive ions and diagnostic ions of each herb. An open platform named IdenHerb for identifying constitutive herbs of herbal products was established. Using IdenHerb, exclusive ions of 94 herbs were found, and from these exclusive ions, their diagnostic ions were screened out. These diagnostic ions were successfully applied to identify constitutive herbs of two mixtures of herbal powders and eight Chinese patent medicines. Furthermore, this methodology was evaluated using three commonly encountered adulterants as test cases. After incorporating the LC‒MS data of these adulterants into the comprehensive LC‒MS database of all herbs, this approach demonstrated excellent discriminatory capabilities. Compared to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition), IdenHerb is capable of identifying a greater number of constituent herbs, thereby enhancing the level of quality control for the herbal products. This strategy deserves further research and wide application.

Although proteins in snake venoms have been extensively studied and characterized, low-mass molecules remain relatively unexplored, mainly due to their low abundance, secondary role in envenomation, and some analytical technique limitations. However, these small molecules can provide new important data related to venom toxins' molecular structure, functions, and evolutionary relationships. This research aimed to characterize molecules below 10 kDa in the venoms of snakes from the Viperidae families (Bothrops, Agkistrodon, and Bitis) and compare two chromatographic approaches: reverse-phase chromatography (RP), a classic technique, and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), an alternative technique, both coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The results showed that the separation of the HILIC column provided a more efficient evenly distributed ion profile than RP, contributing to a 25.6% increase in the sequences identified. Homologous sequences for Bradykinin-potentiating peptides (BPPs) and fragments of major venom proteins, possibly cryptids, were found. In addition, BPP 13a, peptides rich in histidine and glycine (pHpG), and spacer sequences were identified in all snakes analyzed, especially with HILIC separation, suggesting that these sequences may be conserved within Viperidae. These findings indicate that the use of the HILIC column, compared to RP, is a promising approach for characterizing peptides in snake venom obtained by the ultrafiltration process. It contributes to the study of these still poorly understood molecules and is also a good option for studying other complex protein/peptide mixtures.

Sulfate and sulfonate compounds are extensively used as anionic surfactants in personal care products (PCPs), which might pose adverse potential to human health. However, available research mostly identified certain subsets of sulfated and sulfonated surfactants based on target analysis. In this study, we developed a comprehensive nontarget strategy for identification of sulfated and sulfonated surfactants in PCPs using UHPLCHRMS supplemented by an in-lab R script based on characteristic fragment ions and sulfur isotope patterns. A total of 20 sulfate and 12 sulfonate surfactants of confidence level 3 and above were identified in the range of alkyl chain length from C12 to C26 with 0–7 ethoxy groups and molecular weights of 200–600 Da in the PCP samples. The sulfates included 4 alkyl sulfates and 16 alkyl ether sulfates. In addition to commonly reported 4 alkyl benzene sulfonates, this study identified eight sulfonate surfactants for the first time, which were 3 alkyl sulfonates, 3 methyl ammonium sulfonates, and 2 bis-sulfonate sulfonates in the PCPs. Interestingly, 22 sulfate and sulfonate compounds were identified in the negatively labeled PCP samples which were not supposed to contain sulfate and sulfonate surfactants. The results demonstrated robustness of the developed nontarget analyzing strategy in identifying and characterizing sulfate and sulfonate surfactants and consequently providing guidance for management and regulation of chemical addition in PCPs to ensure safe use.

Considering the widespreadly use, large consumption, and serious environmental and health threats of phenylpyrazole insecticides (PPIs), development of a selective and sensitive method for accurate detection of their residuals in food samples is of great significance and challenging. Herein, depending on the hydrophobic and F-containing characteristics of PPIs, a novel fluorinated magnetic microporous organic network (FMMON) was designed and prepared for efficient and selective magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of two typical PPIs (fipronil and ethiprole) from milk and egg samples before the HPLC-UV determination. FMMON owned large specific surface area, multiple interaction sites, excellent magnetic separation performance and stability and exhibited good extraction and selectivity for fipronil and ethiprole through the specific F-F, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, and π-π interactions. Under optimal extraction conditions, the established FMMON-MSPE-HPLC-UV method provided wide linear ranges (0.1–1000 µg L-1), low limits of detection (0.03–0.05 µg L-1), large enrichment factors (96.2–99.7), low adsorbent consumption (4 mg), and short extraction time (6 min) for fipronil and ethiprole. This work revealed the bright future of fluorinated MONs in sample pretreatment of fluorinated contaminants in complex substrates.

The recent unauthorization of antiviral drugs in food-producing animals according to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1644 have increased the need for food control laboratories to develop analytical methods and perform official controls. In this work, a simple and fast analytical methodology was developed for the simultaneous determination of 21 antiviral drugs in chicken muscle and liver by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Chromatographic separation was achieved by an HILIC BEH amide column; followed by detection with a electrospray ionization source in positive and negative modes. Based on extraction efficiencies, critical parameters affecting sample treatment were optimized including the evaporation and clean up steps to extract the largest number of antiviral drugs and reduce interferences. The method was validated according to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/808 in chicken muscle and liver. Most compounds showed a linearity of R2>0.9800, while decision limits were between 0.18 and 7.05 μg kg−1 and 0.19 and 36 μg kg−1 for chicken muscle and liver, respectively. Trueness and within-lab reproducibility were determined at three levels (n = 7) and the results showed values ranging from 81 to 133 % and 4.2–57 % for chicken muscle, and 71–136 % and 4.6–106 % for chicken liver, respectively. The applicability of the developed method was demonstrated by the analysis real samples. 20 samples from the National Residue Control Plan in the Netherlands were analyzed and although none of targeted compounds were detected it is important to continue the analysis of larger set of samples to address any possible food safety risks.

In this work, a simple and fast analytical methodology was developed for the simultaneous determination of 21 antiviral drugs in chicken muscle and liver by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Chromatographic separation was achieved by an HILIC BEH amide column; followed by detection with a electrospray ionization source in positive and negative modes. Based on extraction efficiencies, critical parameters affecting sample treatment were optimized including the evaporation and clean up steps to extract the largest number of antiviral drugs and reduce interferences. The method was validated according to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/808 in chicken muscle and liver.

This study was conducted to investigate possible differences in the interactions of some selected steroids based on their distribution coefficients with cholesterol- or ergosterol-rich liposomes. Structurally cholesterol and ergosterol have very close resemblance to each other and generally it is thought that they behave in a similar manner. In this work we will show that this is not the case. Liposome electrokinetic chromatography (LEKC) was selected as the methodology for estimating the interactions between the steroids and the liposomes and for calculating the distribution coefficients. Apart from the distribution coefficients, the interactions were also studied with a response surface methodology and exploratory regression analysis. Both graphical and statistical analysis confirmed that there is an obvious difference in the interactions between the studies steroids and the cholesterol- or ergosterol-rich liposomes, and even a minute change in the sterol content had a significant impact on the interactions. The study demonstrates the flexibility and efficacy of LEKC for studying analyte-lipid membrane interactions, and for investigating taylor-made liposome systems.
