    Abstract Arsenolipids are organoarsenicals with a long aliphatic chain that have been identified in a wide array of marine organisms. Precise analysis of arsenolipids is crucial for evaluating their toxicity, ensuring food safety, monitoring the environment, and gaining insights into the evolution of arsenic biogeochemistry. However, the discovery of new arsenolipids is often impeded by existing analytical challenges, notably the need for multiple instruments, such as the combination of liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS). This study introduces a high-throughput untargeted analytical method on the basis of an unsophisticated instrumental configuration, LC-ESI-MS with collision-induced dissociation (CID) at 200 eV. This approach provides efficient dissociation of arsenic atoms from their precursor lipids and direct detection of the organic-bound arsenic as monatomic cations, As

    Abstract The role of halogen oxides is substantial in the stratosphere, especially for ozone depletion. It is important to make clear the interaction of halogen oxides with other gaseous molecules. This work performed quantum chemical calculations to investigate the intermolecular interactions between XₘOₙ (X = Cl or Br, m, n = 1 or 2) and ammonia. The chlorine and bromine oxides selected in this paper include typical halogen oxides which can influence the atmospheric processes. For each complex, two different types of interactions, halogen and hydrogen bonds were identified. A π-hole interaction was also found in the XO₂···NH₃ complex. The interaction energy implies that the strength of the halogen bond is far more stronger than the hydrogen bond. A prominent difference exists between the halogen oxides of singlet or doublet state, which can be ascribed to the electron spin density distribution. The nature of the intermolecular interactions was identified by an independent gradient model based on Hirshfeld partition (IGMH) analysis. Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) calculation indicates that electrostatic interaction dominates the halogen-bonded complex, and hydrogen bond is driven by electrostatic interaction and dispersion.

    Abstract Rationale: Cyclic tetrapyrroles, such as chlorophylls and their diagenetic derivatives, are structurally diverse and often chelated with certain metal species in the natural environment. A high throughput analytical method enabling quick tetrapyrrole screening in complex samples will promote the study of tetrapyrrole biogeochemistry and probably discoveries of new tetrapyrroles.
    Methods: Total lipid extracts of biological and environmental samples were injected onto a C18 column to separate compounds with a reverse-phase gradient. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) was performed at different energy levels, from 40 to 200 eV, on a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (QTOF-MS) to identify cyclic tetrapyrroles in complex matrices.
    Results: Under 200 eV CID cyclic tetrapyrroles exhibit a unique fragmentation behavior, the production of fragments larger than 300 Da. Utilizing such feature as a filter to extract product ions in the range of 300-500 Da, various cyclic tetrapyrrole derivatives are readily recognized in all tested biological and environmental samples. The 200 eV CID setup also dissociates chelated to porphyrin metals, including Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and V, as single-charged ions for direct MS detection.
    Conclusions: The 200 eV CID setup provides an efficient approach for the identification of cyclic tetrapyrroles, such as chlorophylls and fossil metalloporphyrins, in complex environmental samples. The direct detection of chelated to porphyrin metal ions with QTOF-MS shows the potential for compound-specific metal isotope analysis.

    Abstract Tocopherols serve a critical role as antioxidants inhibiting lipid peroxidation in photosynthetic organisms, yet are seldom used in geobiological investigations. The ubiquity of tocopherols in all photosynthetic lifeforms is often cited as an impediment to any diagnostic paleoenvironmental potential, while the inability to readily analyze these compounds via conventional methods, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, further diminishes the capacity to serve as useful 'biomarkers'. Here, we analyzed an exceptionally preserved black shale sequence from the Demerara Rise that spans Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE-2) to reexamine the significance of tocopherols and associated derivatives (i.e. tocol derivatives) in ancient sediments. Tocol derivatives were analyzed via liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight-mass spectrometry and included tocopherols, a methyltrimethyltridecylchroman, and the first reported detection of tocopherol quinones and methylphytylbenzoquinones in the geologic record. Strong correlations between tocol derivatives were observed over the studied interval. Tocol derivative concentrations and ratios, which normalized tocopherols to potential derivatives, revealed absolute and relative increases in tocopherols as exclusive features of OAE-2 that can be explained by two possible mechanisms related to tocopherol production and preservation. The development of photic zone euxinia during OAE-2 likely forced an upward migration of oxygenic photoautotrophs, increasing oxidative stress that elicited heightened tocopherol biosynthesis. However, shoaling euxinic conditions may have simultaneously acted to enhance tocopherol preservation given the relatively high lability of tocopherols in the water column. Both scenarios could produce the observed stratigraphic distribution of tocol derivatives in this study, although the elevated tocopherol concentrations that define OAE-2 at the Demerara Rise are primarily attributed to enhanced tocopherol production by shoaling phytoplanktonic communities. Thus, the occurrence of tocopherols and associated derivatives in sediments and rocks of marine origin is likely indicative of shallow-water anoxia, tracking the phytoplanktonic response to the abiotic stresses associated with vertical fluctuations in pelagic redox.

    Abstract In recent years, the lymphatic system has received increasing attention due to the fast-growing number of findings about its diverse novel functional roles in health and disease. It is well documented that the lymphatic vasculature plays major roles in the maintenance of tissue-fluid balance, the immune response, and in lipid absorption. However, recent studies have identified an additional growing number of novel and sometimes unexpected functional roles of the lymphatic vasculature in normal and pathological conditions in different organs. Among those, cardiac lymphatics have been shown to play important roles in heart development, ischemic cardiac disease, and cardiac disorders. In this review, we will discuss some of those novel functional roles of cardiac lymphatics, as well as the therapeutic potential of targeting lymphatics for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
