Lithium hydroxide monohydrate lioh h2o

Epothilone B was purchased from Toronto Research Chemical (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) and epothilone D was purchased from Austin Chemical (Buffalo Grove, Illinois). Dichloromethane, ferric chloride, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), cremaphor, dithiothreitol (DTT), anhydrous Dichloromethane (DCM), anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylmorpholine (NMM), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH·H₂O) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Missouri). Trehalose was purchased from Carbosynth (Berkshire, United Kingdom). Dialysis tubing with 3500 molecular weight cut-off (MWC) and tangential flow filtration filters with 10 kDa pore size were purchased from Spectrum Labs (Rancho Dominguez, California). Pass-through sterile 0.22 micron filters were purchased from Sartorious (Goettingen, Germany). Thermo Syncronis C18 HPLC column (97105-254630), HPLC grade methanol, HPLC grade acetonitrile, n-butyl chloride, absolute ethanol, K₂EDTA tubes, black wall, clear bottom 96-well plates, tetrahydrofuran (THF), isopropyl alcohol, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), acetic anhydride (Ac₂O), acetone, and acetic acid were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Waltham, Massachusetts). absolute ethanol was purchased from Decon Labs. Hydroxylamine (50% aqueous solution) was obtained from Alfa Aesar (Haverhill, Massachusetts).

Solvents and reagents, unless otherwise indicated, were analytical-grade commercial products and used as received considering the grade declared by the dealer. α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) (89.5%) was purchased from Alfa Aesar, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) (95%) from Fluka and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) (97%) from ABCR. Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH•H₂O) (99%), ethanol (>99.8%), and methanol (99%) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. 2,2-Bisacrylamidoacetic acid (BAC) and 1,4-bisacryloylpiperazine (BP) were prepared as previously reported (Ferruti et al. 1999 (link); Ferruti 1985 ). Distilled water (18 MΩ cm) purified with a Millipore Milli-Q apparatus was used in all experiments.

Kenaf core was supplied by the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM). Analytical grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH∙H₂O) (98%), epichlorohydrin, sulphuric acid (98.8%) and urea (99%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Malaysia and used as received.
