conditions were as follows: mobile phase A [NaAc–HAc buffer
(50 mM, pH 4.2):acetonitrile, 70:30] and mobile phase B [NaAc–HAc
buffer (50 mM, pH 4.2):acetonitrile, 30:70] were used with a gradient
elution program at a flow rate of 1 mL·min–1, and the column temperature was kept at 25 °C. The injection
volume was 10 μL. Fmoc-Cl derivatives of amino acids and hydroxyl
amino acids formed in the reaction mixture were detected spectrofluorometrically
at 263 nm.
LC–MS analysis was carried out using a Waters
ACQUITY UPLC–MS system with a Waters ACQUITY UPLC HSS C18 reversed
phase column (inner diameter: 1.8 μm). The inlet, MS transfer

HepG2 (ATCC, HB-8065) cells were cultured in 1× DMEM (Fisher Scientific, Cat#MT10013CM) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, Cat#10437028), 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin solution (Gibco, Cat#15140122)) at 37 °C in 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator. All human-derived cell lines were validated by short tandem repeat (STR) profiling using PowerPlex® 16 HS System (Promega) once a month. Additionally, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method was used to screen for mycoplasma once a month employing the LookOut® Mycoplasma PCR Detection Kit (MP0035, Sigma-Aldrich) and JumpStart™ Taq DNA Polymerase (D9307, Sigma-Aldrich) to ensure cells were free of mycoplasma contamination.
Doxorubicin, NU7441, Samuraciclib (ICEC0942), and EPZ015666 (GSK3235025) were purchased from Selleckchem. All other compounds used for screening were obtained from St Jude compounds deposit. AZD7648, Lot01, was purchased from Chemietek, and the quality was verified by Chemieteck by HPLC-MS and NMR, with purity >99.5%. The purity of AZD7648 was further verified in house by using Waters UPLC-MS system (Acquity PDA detector, SQ detector and UPLC BEH-C18 column). The mass spectrometer was acquired using MassLynx v. 4.1. The chromatographic conditions are as follows: flow rate: 1.0 mL/min, sample injection volume: 2 µL, column temperature: 55 °C, mobile phase: 0.1% formic acid in CH3CN and H2O.

LC–MS analysis was performed using a UPLC-MS system (Waters, Milford, MA). To a PBS solution of 30 mM QA-2OMeSiR was added 274 nM DPP4 (recombinant dipeptidyl peptidase IV human, Catalog number: D4943-1VL, Lot: SLCJ0390, Sigma-Aldrich) or 2 nM PSA (recombinant NPEPPS, Catalog number: 6410-ZN, Lot: SHF0418101, R&D Systems), and the solutions were incubated at 37 °C for the indicated time. The enzyme reaction was quenched by two-fold dilution with MeOH. Aliquots of 10 mL of quenched samples were subjected to UPLC-MS, and the mass and absorbance spectra at 550 nm were analyzed. Gradient elution, A/B = 95/5 to 5/95 (0–3.5 min), 5/95 to 95/5 (4.0–4.1 min), 95/5 (4.1–5.0 min) (eluent A: H2O containing 0.1% formic acid, eluent B: acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid). For QA-2OMeSiR, m/z = 558.25; for A-2OMeSiR, m/z = 430.19; for 2OMeSiR, m/z = 359.16.

The transformant of A. nidulans was grown on solid CD-ST for 3 days and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were evaporated to dryness and dissolved in methanol for LC-MS analyses. LC-MS metabolite profiles were performed on a Waters UPLC-MS system with the following method: chromatographic separation was achieved with a linear gradient of 5–99% MeCN-H2O (both with 0.02% v/v formic acid) in 10 min followed by 99% MeCN for 3 min and then 5% MeCN-H2O for 3 min, with a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The MS data were collected in the m/z range 50–1500 in positive mode simultaneously.

UV spectra were detected on an Alltech UVIS-200 detector. IR spectra were determined on a Thermo Nicolet Nexus Is50 FT-IR spectrometer. The NMR spectra were acquired on a 400, 500, or 600 MHz Bruker FTNMR spectrometer. Chemical shifts are referenced to the solvent peaks at δH 2.50 and δC 39.52 for DMSO-d6. Mass spectra were obtained from a Bruker APEX IV 70 eV FT-MS spectrometer. The chromatographic (CC) substrates included silica gel (100−200 and 200−300 mesh) and HF254 silica gel for thin-layer chromatography (TLC) (Qingdao Marine Chemistry Co., Ltd., Qingdao, China). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed with an Alltech 426 pump equipped with an Alltech UVIS-200 detector (210 nm) and using a semipreparative reversed-phase column (YMC-packed, C18, 5 μM, 10 × 250 mm).

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.
