Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An oven-dried 25 mL, two-necked, round-bottomed flask was sealed under argon and charged with sodium borohydride (735 mg, 19.5 mmol), ethanol (2.5 mL) and propane-2-ol (2.5 mL). The mixture was cooled to 0 °C. Then β–cyclocitral (Sigma-Aldrich, purity 94.9%) (2 g, 13 mmol) in propan-2-ol (3.5 mL) was added dropwise to the stirred reaction mixture. The mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature by removing the ice bath while stirring was maintained for 1 h. The reaction mixture then was poured into water (10 mL) and subsequently saturated with sodium chloride and extracted with ether (3×5 mL). The organic extracts were combined, washed with water (10 mL), brine (10 mL), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by silica gel chromatography (EtOAc/petroleum ether 20:80) afforded 1.7 g (85%) of compound 3b as colorless waxy solid 37 . 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.1 (s, 2H), 1.95(t, 2H, J = 6.4 Hz), 1.72(s, 3H), 1.61-1.53(m, 2H), 1.45-1.39(m, 2H), 1.01(m, 6H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ 137.7, 133.7, 58.9, 39.4, 34.1, 32.8, 28.6, 19.7, 19.4. 1H NMR and 13C values matched those previously reported 38 .

Safranal Synthesis Standards Calibration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
High purity gases carbon dioxide 99.998% (Messer France SAS, Saint -Georges-d’Espéranche, France) and hydrogen 99.999% (Messer France SAS, Saint -Georges-d’Espéranche, France) were used as working reference gas. Helium flow at 99.999% was used as carrier gas. One microliter of paraffin 1-decane (Sigma Aldrich Corp, St Louis, MO, USA) was injected to install a coating in the pyrolysis alumina tube prior to the start of the analysis process.
International standards IAEA CH7 (polyethylene foil: δ13C (‰) −32.15, δ2H (‰) −100.3) and IAEA NBS 22 (oil: δ13C (‰) −29.79, δ2H (‰) −120) supplied by IAEA (International Agency of Atomic Energy) permit the calibration of Safranal synthesis standards.
Safranal was purchased from Sigma Aldrich Corp (St Louis, MO, USA). Unfortunately, Sigma Aldrich was the only supplier of synthesis Safranal origin found on commercial market. For this reason, three Safranal batches were bought at different times, with high levels of purity (98.4%), and were stored at 4 °C., and β-cyclocitral was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Ref 16976. Purity ≥ 97%); crocin (trans-crocetin-4-GG) was purchased from Phytolab (Ref 80391, purity 99.04%); kaempferol-3-O-glucoside was purchased from Extrasynthese (Ref 1243 S batch purity 99%); trans-crocetin was purchased from Toronto Research (Ref C794950, purity 95%).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human retinal pigmented epithelium cell line ARPE-19 (BCRC number 60383) was obtained from the Food Industry Research and Development Institute (FIRDI, Hsinchu, Taiwan). These cells were maintained in a 1:1 mixture of DMEM/F-12, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, GIBCO) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (PS, Gibco) in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C. To differentiate ARPE-19 cells to a more native and physiologically relevant state, once confluent, the media was switched to a specialized DMEM media that contained high glucose (4.5 g/l) supplemented with 1% heat-inactivated FBS, 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Hyclone),2 mM L-glutamine (Hyclone), and 10 mM nicotinamide (Sigma) for 2 months. In all cases, media exchange was performed three times a week. Before treatment, ARPE-19 cells were seeded into 96-well plates or 6 cm Petri dishes at a density of 5 × 104 cells/mL and incubated overnight. After overnight culture, the culture medium was replaced with a serum-free medium and treated with different concentrations (25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/ml) of Scoparia dulcis L. extract (SDE) for 24 h. Following this, the cells were treated with 50 mM D-glucose (Sigma) for an additional 48 h. β-cyclocitral (Sigma), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (Sigma), procaine (Sigma), cyclohexylamine (Sigma), and N1- acetylspermine (Sigma) are used as the standard for HPLC–MS analysis.

Quantitative Analysis of β-Cyclocitral

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A 100 mg quantity of fresh tissue was extracted with 1 ml of methanol. The suspension was mixed by vortexing for 5 min and centrifuged for 20 min at 20, 000 × g and 4°C. The supernatant was centrifuged as above for 10 min, and 200 μl of the new supernatant were taken for the analysis using an Agilent 1260 Infinity high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system coupled to an API 5000 tandem mass spectrometer. β-cyclocitral was separated on an Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C18 column (50 × 4.6 mm, 1.8 μm) Chromatographic separation was performed by using a gradient of formic acid 0.05% in water, (solvent A) and acetonitrile (solvent B). The flow rate was set at 0.5 ml min–1. The initial mobile phase consisted of 95/5% (v/v) solvent A/solvent B. Then, solvent A was decreased to 50% in 2 min and held for 3 min. After solvent A was decreased to 0% in 9 min and held for 11 min, it was raised again to 95%. β-cyclocitral was monitored by following the precursor ion → product ion reaction: m/z 153.191 → 109.0. Quantification was done using an external standard curve made with an authentic standard of β-cyclocitral (Sigma-Aldrich).

Alkane standard solutions from C8 to C20 (40 mg/L each in hexane) and C21 to C40 (40 mg/L each in toluene) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. A standard solution from C5 to C10 was prepared using pure substances in a ratio resulting in narrow and symmetric peak shapes as described by Weingart, et al.35 (link).
Pure VOCs were selected according to the SPME/GC-MS results, such as Benzenethanol, β-caryophyllene, trans-2-pentenal, 2-ethylfuran and β-cyclocitral (Sigma-Aldrich); cadinene (a mixture of ɣ-cadinene and δ-cadinene; (BOC Sciences); β-selinene and ledol (Xiamen Freede Industry). Pure VOCs were used in functional assays and for identity confirmation with HS-SPME/GC-MS analysis (Supplementary Fig. S2)

Volatility-Induced Treatment of Agar-Grown Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For treatments, advantage was taken of the volatility of β-cyclocitral (Sigma-Aldrich), which was placed on a paper wick within the middle of a sealed Petri dish to treat agar-grown cells, in an identical approach used for acrolein treatments [13 (link)]. Β-cyclocitral was diluted in 100% p.a. methanol and 1 μL containing 0–0.3 μL of diluted β-cyclocitral (mock = 1 μL pure methanol) was placed on a paper wick in an Eppendorf lid in the centre of a 11 cm Petri dish, which was immediately sealed with Parafilm and left under very LL (2 μmol photons m−2 s−1). After 2–4 h, as indicated, cells within 2 cm of the middle of the plate were gently scraped from the agar with a spatula and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen prior to biochemical analyses. Β-cyclocitral concentrations in parts per million (ppm) were calculated on a volume basis, considering a 30 cm3 air space in a 11 cm Petri dish, a β-cyclocitral density of 0.943 g mL−1, 95% purity, and the particle-related gas concentration of 0.0241 m³/mol, so that 0.12 μL of β-cyclocitral corresponded to 600 ppm inside the Petri dish.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
