Objective
Lilium brownii var. viridulum (LB) and L. lancifolium (LL) are the main sources of medicinal lily (Lilii Bulbus, Baihe in Chinese) in China. However, the functional components of these two species responsible for the treatment efficacy are yet not clear. In order to explore the therapeutic material basis of Lilii Bulbus, we selected L. davidii var. willmottiae (LD) only used for food as the control group to analyze the differences between LD and the other two (LB and LL).
Methods
Metabolome and transcriptome were carried out to investigate the differences of active components in LD vs LB and LD vs LL. Data of metabolome and transcriptome was analysed using various analysis methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and so on. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched through KEGG and GO enrichment analysis.
Results
The PCA and HCA of the metabolome indicated the metabolites were clearly separated and varied greatly in LL and LB contrasted with LD. There were 318 significantly differential metabolites (SDMs) in LD vs LB group and 298 SDMs in LD vs LL group. Compared with LD group, the significant up-regulation of steroidal saponins and steroidal alkaloids were detected both in LB and LL groups, especially in LB group. The HCA of transcriptome indicated that there was significant difference in LB vs LD group, while the difference between LL and LD varied slightly. Additionally, 47 540 DEGs in LD vs LB group and 18 958 DEGs in LD vs LL group were identified. Notably, CYP450s involving in the biosynthesis of steroidal saponins and steroidal alkaloids were detected, and comparing with LD, CYP724, CYP710A, and CYP734A1 in LB and CYP90B in LL were all up-regulated.
Conclusion
This study suggested that steroidal saponins and steroidal alkaloids maybe the representative functional components of Lilii Bulbus, which can provide new insights for Lilii Bulbus used in the research and development of classic famous formula.

Objective
Goji (fruits of Lycium spp.) is commonly consumed as food and medicine. The increasing market demand for goji has led to its wide cultivation and broad breeding, which might cause loss of genetic diversity. This study aims to uncover the genetic diversity of the cultivated and wild Lycium.
Methods
The chloroplast genome (CPG) of 34 accessions of Chinese food-medicinal Lycium spp., including the popular cultivars and their wild relatives, was re-sequenced and assembled, based on which the genetic diversity was evaluated.
Results
Sequence structural comparison shows that CPG is comparatively conserved within species. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that CPG is sufficient for the discrimination of Lycium species; combined with nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (Nr ITS) sequences, materials with mixed genetic backgrounds can be identified. Nucleotide diversity analysis reveals that the modern cultivars are probably with a common maternal parent, while the wild accessions are with higher level of genetic diversity.
Conclusion
For the first time this study reveals the intraspecies genetic diversity of Lycium spp. using CPG, highlighting the urgent conservation demand of wild genetic resources of Lycium. Our study also demonstrates that CPG provides crucial evidence for identification of Lycium species with mixed genetic backgrounds and highlights the importance of the wild relatives in genetic diversity conservation. This CPG-based technology will contribute to the sustainable development of medicinal plants broadly.

Objective
The concept of substances of medicine food homology (SMFH) has garnered significant attention in recent years. This study conducts a systematic analysis of patent literature related to SMFH, and elucidates the development trends, technical hotspots, and the overall patent protection landscape of SMFH in China over the past two decades.
Methods
The patent search focused on the SMFH varieties as the objects of inquiry, with retrieval conducted in patent databases. Subsequently, the acquired data underwent processing, analysis, and visualization.
Results
While the technical threshold for pharmaceutical applications surpasses that of the food service sector, the former may assume a prominent role in the future. Research and development (R&D) activities in the southeast of China demonstrate robust activity than other regions. Colleges and scientific research institutions exhibit substantial advantages in patent applications compared with individuals and hold greater potential for future development.
Conclusion
The findings of this patent analysis indicate that China’s SMFH industry are presently undergoing a transition from an extensive model to a high-quality model. The quality and technical standards of SMFH products are consistently improving. Consequently, there is a need for more stringent patent application requirements to align with the evolving development needs.

Raspberries are used for both food and medicine, but it has not yet attracted widespread attention. In this paper, the chemical constituen of the original plant raspberry. R. chingii is one of the new “Zhe Bawei” medicinal materials selected in 2017. “Zhe Bawei” refers to eight kinds of genuine medicinal materials in Zhejiang Province. The chemical constituents, pharmacological effects, processing, and application of Rubus chingii Hu were reviewed to provide a reference for its further development. Relevant literature in recent years was collected in databases such as China Knowledge Network, Web of Science, Elsevier, PubMed, and X-Mol, using “raspberry”, “Rubus chingii”, “traditional use”, “chemical composition”, “pharmacology”, etc. as keywords individually or in combination. The summary of pharmacological activities shows that the relationship between the pharmacological activities of raspberry is still not deep enough. More in-depth research should be carried out in this direction to explore the mechanism of action of its active ingredients and provide effective reference for the further development of the raspberry industry. In the future, with the participation of more researchers, it is expected to develop innovative drugs based on raspberry for the treatment of diseases.

Objective
To study constituents of the leaves of Macaranga hemsleyana, and evaluate their inhibitory effects against NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, and antiproliferative activity.
Methods
The constituents were isolated and purified by column chromatography on MCI gel CHP20P/P120, silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and HPLC. The structures of compounds were determined by 1D, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS data. The inhibitory effect of compounds on inflammasome activation was determined by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) procedure. The antiproliferative activity was evaluated using MTT assay.
Results
The study led to the isolation of 23 compounds, including one new compound, identified as (2Z)-3-[4-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-2′-hydroxy-5′-methoxyphenyl]-2-propenoic acid (1), together with 22 known compounds recognized as 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile (2), methyl 4-methoxynicotinate (3), 4-methoxynicotinonitrile (4), 1-(3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-4,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethanone (5), neoisoastilbin (6), isoastilbin (7), aromadendrin (8), neoastilbin (9), astilbin (10), quercitrin (11), neoschaftoside (12), apigenin 6,8-bis-C-α-L-arabinoside (13), vitexin (14), bergenin (15), scopoletin (16), glucopyranoside salicyl (17), koaburside (18), benzyl β-D-glucoside (19), icariside B5 (20), roseoside (21), loliolide (22), and adenosine (23). The tested compounds did not show LDH inhibition nor antiproliferative activity.
Conclusion
Compound 1 was a new glycoside. Compounds 2 and 3 were obtained for the first time from natural source. The 22 known compounds constituted of alkaloids (2–4, 23), phenolics (5, 15, 17, 18), flavonoids (6–14), coumarin (16), benzyl glycoside (19), and norsesquiterpenes (20–22). All the compounds, 1–23, were revealed from M. hemsleyana for the first time. This is the initial uncovering of molecules 1–10, 12, 13, 17–19, and 23 from the genus Macaranga. The isolated compounds

Objective
Huamaoyan Granules (HMYG) and Huamaoyan Capsules (HMYC) are Chinese patent medicines with different dosage forms of the same prescription. Due to the different preparation process, the chemical composition of these Chinese patent medicines varies greatly among different forms, but there were few studies on the difference comparison and quality control of them. In order to improve the effectiveness and safety in its clinical application, an idea combining high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and chemometrics was put forward to study the quality control of Chinese patent medicines in different dosage forms of the same prescription.
Methods
The differential markers of HMYG and HMYC were explored based on HPLC fingerprint and chemometrics including orthogonal projections to latent structures-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), principal component analysis (PCA), and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Finally, the quantitative analysis method of related components was established by HPLC.
Results
A quality control method for HMYG and HMYC was established. Firstly, the chemical components of HMYG and HMYC were systematically analyzed by HPLC fingerprinting. Further exploration showed that there were 20 characteristic peaks and 57 common peaks. Then, the potential differential markers between HMYG and HMYC were explored by chemometrics, and the differential markers were screened after intersection with the 20 characteristic peaks. Finally, HPLC quantitative analysis methods for nine components were established, including seven differential markers (neochlorogenic acid, protocatechualdehyde, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acid A). The results of HPLC quantitative analysis showed that the contents of eight components in HMYG and HMYC samples were significantly different. According to the above results, the differential markers between HMYG and HMYC screened based on HPLC fingerprint and chemometrics can effectively characterize the differences between the two dosage forms.
Conclusion
The present work provides a rapid and effective method for routine quality evaluation and control of HMYG and HMYC. This work also provides feasible methods for the quality evaluation and control of Chinese patent medicines with different dosage forms of the same prescription.

Finally, HPLC quantitative analysis methods for nine components were established, including seven differential markers (neochlorogenic acid, protocatechualdehyde, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acid A). The results of HPLC quantitative analysis showed that the contents of eight components in HMYG and HMYC samples were significantly different.

Objective
Mahuang Guizhi Decoction (MGD), an essential herbal pair in traditional Chinese medicine, is able to release cold, fever and asthma, mainly containing alkaloids, flavonoids, phenylpropanoids and amino acids. However, the absorption and distribution of these four category compounds in vivo still remained unclearly.
Methods
In our research, we utilized UPLC-Q-TOF-MS technique to identify the constituents within MGD, as well as the prototypes of MGD and their metabolites absorbed in plasma and brain. We further profiled the drug-time curve of prototypes and metabolites of MGD both in plasma and brain.
Results
Our results showed that 105 constituents were characterized in MGD. Thirty of them could be absorbed into blood, and ten of them could be distributed into brain. We also discovered eight new bio-transformed metabolites in blood, and a half of which could pass through the blood–brain barrier. In addition, all components detected in vivo could be absorbed and distributed immediately.
Conclusion
These findings provide an approachable method to analyze the potential bio-active compounds in MGD and their in vivo behaviors, which could promote the efficacious material basis study of MGD and the security of clinical utilization.
