Folic acid (0.88 g) in 0.1-L 50 mM Tris-HCI (pH 7.5) was incubated with 5 μg mL− 1Variovorax sp. F1 rPDA at 30 °C for 12 h. The rPDA was denatured with 1 M NaOH, then the pH of the reaction was reduced to < 4.0 with 1 M HCl to precipitate DFA with > 99% purity. Deaminopteroic acid was produced by incubating the DFA (~ 0.5 g) with 5 μg mL− 1 rCPG in 0.1-L 50 mM Tris-HCI (pH 7.5) containing 0.2 mM ZnSO4 at 30 °C for 6 h, then purified as described above to > 99%. The DFA and DPA were confirmed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS). An LCMS 8030 spectrometer (Shimadzu Co., Kyoto, Japan) was equipped with a Purospher® STAR RP-18 endcapped column (particle size 5 μm, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) and the flow rate of a 40-min linear gradient from 0 to 40% acetonitrile in 0.05% formic acid was 0.8 mL min− 1. Mass ions were detected in the negative mode under the following conditions: probe voltage, 3.5 kV; detection range, m/z = 10–500 for DFA (precursor m/z 441) and 10–400 (precursor m/z 312) for DPA; column temperature, 40 °C; desolvation line temperature, 250 °C; heat block temperature, 400 °C; nebulizer gas, 3 L min− 1; drying gas, 15 L min− 1.

Belinostat was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC system consisted of an L-7100 pump, L-7200 autosampler, L-7455 diode array detector at 265 nm (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) and a Purospher Star RP-18 endcapped column (250 × 4.6 mm, internal diameters 5 μm, Merck).

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.
