For extraction of nicotianamine, leaf tissue was homogenized in liquid nitrogen and extracted in ddH2O, incubated at 80 °C for 30 min and after centrifugation for 10 min at 16,000× g the supernatant was filtered and used for HPLC analysis, similarly as in Mendoza-Cózatl et al. [61 (link)]. For histidine determination, leaf tissue was homogenized in liquid nitrogen and extracted in 50% methanol, centrifuged at 4 °C and the filtered supernatant was used for analysis. Analysis of NA and His was performed according to Vasanits et al. [62 (link)] using o-phthaldialdehyde and 3-mercaptopropionic acid (OPA/MPA). Ten times diluted samples were derivatized with OPA/MPA for 5 min and immediately loaded on a reversed phase column (5.0 μm, 250 mm × 4.6 mm Luna C18 (2); Phenomenex Ltd., Torrance, CA, USA) using a Shimadzu LC-20AB Prominence liquid chromatograph (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The elution gradient was as described in Vasanits et al. [62 (link)] and the flow rate was 1.2 mL min−1 at 40 °C. The fluorescence intensity of OPA/MPA/AA derivative was measured at excitation and emission wavelengths of 337 and 454 nm using RF-10-AXL, fluorescence detector (Prominence, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan).

After mixing 300 μL of acetonitrile solution containing 10.0 μg/mL norfloxacin as the internal standard with 300 μL of plasma, the solution was centrifuged at 10 600 × g for 10 min at 4 °C and the supernatant was separated. Then, 300 μL of water was added to 150 μL of the supernatant, and the mixture was filtered using Whatman Mini-UniPrep (0.45 μm; J.G Finneran Associates, Inc., USA). Subsequently, 25 μL of this filtrate was subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the concentration of LVFX.

The measurements were taken at excitation and emission wavelengths of 292 and 494 nm, respectively, using Shimadzu, RF-10AXL fluorescence detector (Shimadzu Corp.). The retention times based on these conditions were 3.5 and 10 min for norfloxacin and LVFX. In addition, the Cmax was defined as the maximum plasma LVFX concentration at 180 min after oral administration and Tmax was defined as the time required to reach the Cmax.

The purified and commercial betanin were analyzed as previously described by Silva et al. [35 (link)]. Aliquots of 900 µL (16 mg·mL−1) were diluted in water to achieve the same absorbance, transferred to amber vials, and incubated at 37 °C for 10 min with a solution containing 1 mM Fe2+, 10 mM H2O2, and 1 mM terephthalic acid (TPA) in 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The hydroxyterephthalic acid (HTPA) mimics the OH· radical, was detected employing an HPLC system equipped with a reverse-phase C18 Kromasil® (Göteborg, Sweden) column (5 µm, 250 × 4.6 mm ID, Kromasil®) and RF-10AXL fluorescence detector (Shimadzu®) with excitation and emission wavelengths set at 312 nm and 428 nm, respectively. The mobile phase comprised 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.6) at 1.0 mL·min−1. The TAP value was estimated by the percentage difference of the HTPA generated by the Fenton reaction, according to Equation (2):
SHTPA: surface area of the chromatogram in the Fenton reaction with the sample;
S0HTPA: surface area of the chromatogram in the Fenton reaction without sample.

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.
