Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To prepare docetaxel/DSPE-PCB 5K formulation, 150 mg of DSPE-PCB 5K and 6 mg docetaxel were co-dissolved in 5 ml trifluoroethanol in a round-bottom flask. The solvent was subsequently evaporated by rotary evaporation to obtain a thin film. The film was then kept in a vacuum for 2 hours at room temperature to remove the residual trifluoroethanol. After the addition of 3 ml saline and stirring at 800 rpm for 30 min, a clear micelle solution with docetaxel loaded was obtained. Docetaxel/DSPE-PEG 5K and docetaxel/Polysorbate 80 formulations were prepared following the same procedure. Taxotere was prepared follow the reference63 (link), 64 (link), 69 . The weight ratios of drug over surfactant for all formulations were kept at 4%, which is the drug loading level for TAXOTERE®66 , 68 (link).
Drug release profiles were determined by placing 100 μL different formulations into Slide-A-Lyzer MINI dialysis microtubes (3500 Da MW cutoff) and dialyzed against PBS at 37°C with gentle stirring. At different time intervals, docetaxel remained in the dialyzer was quantified through HPLC by a Waters Breeze 2 System equipped with a Waters 2998 photodiode array detector at 230 nm and a Waters symmetry C18 column (4.6×7.5 mm). The mobile phase was a mixture of acetonitrile/water (50%:50% volume) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The docetaxel showed a single elution peak at 5.47 min.

Chemical shifts of proton (1H NMR) and carbon (13C NMR) were reported in ppm relative to the residual solvent peaks except that methanol was employed as the external reference for 13C NMR when D2O was used. Chemical shifts of phosphorus (31P NMR) were reported in ppm relative to the external reference of 85% H3PO4.

Peptidoglycan Muropeptide Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Macromolecular peptidoglycan was re-suspended in 500 μl of 50 mM phosphate buffer pH 4.9 and digested with Cellosyl (Hoechst AG) 100 μg/ml final concentration at 37 °C overnight. The enzyme reaction was stopped by boiling the sample for 15 min in a water bath. Coagulated protein and insoluble contamination were eliminated by centrifuging in a MiniSpin® Plus (Eppendorf) at 14,500 rpm for 15 min at room temperature. Muropeptides contained in the soluble fraction were mixed with 1/3 volume of 0.5 M sodium borate buffer (pH 9.0) and reduced with excess sodium borohydride (NaBH4) for 30 min at room temperature. The excess borohydride was neutralised with phosphoric acid (dilution 1:10) to pH 3–4. Finally the samples were filtered through Millex®-GV Filter 0.22 μm (Millipore) units and stored at −20 °C. Reduced muropeptides were separated and analysed by HPLC (Breeze™ 2 System, Waters). Elution products were detected at wavelength 204 nm and identified by the retention time obtained. The relative quantity of muropeptides present in each sample was determined by integration of their respective absorption areas (Breeze™ 2, Waters) and expressed as a molar fraction (mol%) of the total content. When required, the individual peaks were collected, vacuum dried and stored at −20 °C.

Ascorbic acid concentration was determined using the HPLC method outlined by Romeu-Nadal et al. (2006) . Three hundred microliters of fluid or rehydrated whey (5.0 ± 0.2% solids) was mixed with 300 μL of 0.56% (wt/vol) meta-phosphoric acid (33.5-36.5%, Sigma-Aldrich), and HPLC-grade water (Fluka) was then added. Samples were shaken for 30 s and centrifuged in a microcentrifuge at 12,000 × g for 10 min to separate fat and protein from the aqueous phase. All samples were then filtered through a 0.45-μm cellulose filter (VWR) and analyzed by HPLC (Breeze 2 system, Waters Corporation, Milford, MA) with a reversed-phase column (Kinelex 5u XB-C 18 100 × 4.60 mm, Phenomenex). Thirty microliters of sample was injected with a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min, with a mobile phase composed of HPLC-grade water with 0.1% acetic acid (Sigma-Aldrich) and methanol (HPLC grade, Fluka) at a concentration of (95:5 vol/vol). Samples were analyzed using a Waters 2998 pathodiode array detector with a wavelength of 254 nm. Ascorbic acid concentration was determined based on a 7-point standard curve derived from an l-ascorbic acid standard (≥99.0% purity, Sigma-Aldrich). All whey samples were extracted in triplicate and each extraction was injected in duplicate.

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.
