Two new styryllactones, macrocalactone (1) and 3-deoxycardiobutanolide (2), were isolated from the fruits of Goniothalamus macrocalyx Ban (Annonaceae), together with seven known compounds including four acetogenins, annonacin (3), solamin (4), isoannonacin (5), trans-murisolinone (6), and three other compounds, 7-acetylaltholactone (7), β-caryophyllene-8R,9R-oxide (8) and 2-(2′-hydroxytetracosanoylamino)-octadecane-l,3,4-triol (9). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and MS analysis. The absolute configuration of I was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The structures of the acetogenins were confirmed by liquid chromatography coupled to a hybrid quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometer, using post-column lithium infusion. The results were compared with the fragmentation obtained with a hybrid linear trap-orbitrap mass spectrometer. Compound 7 had cytotoxicity against KB, HepG2, Lu, and MCF7 cell lines with IC50 values of 13.1, 23.7, 26.3 and 60.2 μM, respectively, whereas annonacin (3) was selectively active against KB cells (IC50 value of 6.5 μM). The discovery of 3-deoxycardiobutanolide (2) from the fruits of this plant revealed that G. macrocalyx could be a valuable natural resource to obtain this compound as it has been previously reported to have a significant cytotoxicity against different cancer cell lines, especially HL-60 cells.

Multiclass screening of drugs with high resolution mass spectrometry is of great interest due to its high time-efficiency and excellent accuracy. A high-scale, fast screening method for pesticides in fishery drugs was established based on ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometer. The target compounds - were diluted in methanol and extracted by ultrasonic treatment, and the extracts were diluted with MeOH-water (1:1, v/v) and centrifuged to remove impurities. The chromatographic separation was performed on an Accucore aQ-MS column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 2.6 μm) with gradient elution using 0.1% formic acid in water (containing 5 mmol/L ammonium formate) and 0.1% formic acid in methanol (containing 5 mmol/L ammonium formate) in Full Scan/dd-MS2 (TopN) scan mode. A screening database, including mass spectrometric and chromatographic information, was established for identification of compounds. The screening detection limits of methods ranged between 1–500 mg/kg, the recoveries of real samples spiked with the concentration of 10 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg standard mixture ranged from 70% to 110% for more than sixty compounds, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 20%. The application of this method showed that target pesticides were screened out in 10 samples out of 21 practical samples, in which the banned pesticide chlorpyrifos were detected in 3 out of the 10 samples.
