Summary: This study explores the chiral separations of anionic cobalt bis(dicarbollide) and dicarba-7,8-nido-undecaborane derivatives using four polysaccharide-based columns under reversed-phase conditions. Compared to previously reported results in normal phase and polar-organic mode, reversed-phase separations demonstrate higher resolution, lower consumption of organic solvents, and greater flexibility during method development. Additionally, the first chiral discrimination of some hydroxyalkyl derivatives of anionic cobalt bis(dicarbollides) is reported.

Summary: Reversed-phase solid-phase extraction (SPE) is the preferred method for purifying proteomics samples, with most studies using manufacturers' protocols. Optimizing the SPE method can result in significant improvements in identification and recovery. This tutorial provides a brief introduction to the key parameters that influence SPE performance, along with a short workflow (16 measurements) for optimizing the SPE procedure. Method performance assessment instructions and a troubleshooting guide are also included to help users better understand and investigate their SPE methods.

Summary: A simple and robust reversed phase separation method was established for the separation of known impurities in bisphenol-A (BPA). The method offers shorter separation time and lower sample concentration requirements, making it suitable for frequent process monitoring. Additionally, four additional impurities were detected and identified.

Summary: This study used microsecond molecular dynamics simulations to uncover the details of peptide separations by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). The interactions between peptides and the C18 stationary phase and mobile phase were found to be different, with nonpolar interactions serving as the foundation of peptide retention. This work provides a new approach for improving retention prediction algorithms and designing novel column materials.

Summary: The development of an online pressure change focusing-supercritical fluid selective extraction chromatography (PCF-SFSEC) technique enables extraction, purification, separation, and detection in a single run with only microliter-scale samples. This technique achieves column-head stacking by decreasing the dissolving capacity of the supercritical fluid and removes interferences and water from samples, allowing for direct aqueous sample analysis. The efficiency of PCF-SFSEC was demonstrated in the enantioselective analysis of 22 chiral drugs in rat plasma, showing high resolution and low matrix effects.

Summary: Lipidomics studies focus on identifying and quantifying lipids comprehensively. Reversed phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (MS) is commonly used for lipid identification, but accurate lipid quantification remains challenging. We established a dual flow injection and chromatography setup to address the issue of solvent composition affecting ionization response. Our results confirmed that changing solvent conditions significantly influence ionization response and quantification biases. This finding was further supported by quantifying human plasma lipids and a panel of lipid species standards under different ionization conditions.

Summary: Alkenones are widely used as paleotemperature biomarkers, and the traditional methods of analysis, such as GC-FID and GC-CI-MS, face challenges with matrix interference and low concentrations. This study demonstrates that HPLC-MS methods provide excellent resolution, selectivity, linearity, and sensitivity for alkenones in complex matrices. The comparison of different mass detectors and ionization modes reveals the advantages of ESI and orbitrap MS for alkenone analyses, with orbitrap MS showing the lowest limit of detection and widest linear dynamic range.

Summary: Lignin and lignans are natural products found in plant cell walls, with research historically focusing on lignin degradation techniques and the interesting biological activities of lignans. Studies have shown that both lignin and lignan dimers can possess multiple chiral centers, leading to observations of enhanced activity in one diastereomer of a pair. Tandem mass spectrometry and HPLC can be used to differentiate diastereomer pairs in these series.

Summary: The study investigated the feasibility of using reversed-phase liquid chromatography to separate ganglioside isomers, successfully achieving the isomer separation of disialogangliosides and trisialogangliosides for the first time. Crucial factors in the mobile-phase composition, such as the organic modifier acetonitrile and the ammonium salt additive ammonium bicarbonate, were identified to influence the differential retention and mass spectral response of the isomers.

Summary: Metabolomics and lipidomics are driving forces in the omics era, with tandem mass spectrometry methods playing a crucial role in characterizing the structural details of metabolites and lipids. Recent advancements in alternative tandem MS methodologies aim to provide full structural characterization of these compounds. The review critically examines the principles, capabilities, drawbacks, and initial applications of these advanced tandem mass spectrometry strategies in the fields of metabolomics and lipidomics.

Summary: The opioid epidemic has put a strain on primary healthcare providers, but they can make a positive impact on opioid management through focused change initiatives. Providing leadership support, defining standards of work, conducting pre-visit and post-visit reviews, and measuring progress are effective strategies for implementing and sustaining chronic opioid therapy in primary care context. These findings offer actionable implications for healthcare management professionals and organizations.
