Gradient HPLC analysis was done by using Shimadzu Prominence series UFLC system with a CBM-20A controller bus module, a LC-20 AD liquid chromatograph, a CTO-20A column oven and a SPD-20A UV-visible detector. UV-visible absorption was measured at 295 nm. 20 μL of sample were loaded in the solvent injection ratio: 95% solvent A – 5% solvent B (A = Milli-Q water/TFA 99.9:0.1 v/v; B = CH3CN/Milli Q water/TFA 90:9.9:0.1 v/v/v) onto a Jupiter C4 column (150 × 4.60 mm, 5 μm, 300 Å, Phenomenex) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min over 5 min. In a second step, samples were eluted by a gradient developed from 5 to 90% of solvent B in solvent A over 15 min. The concentration of solvent B was maintained over 5 min. Then, the concentration of solvent B was decreased to 5% over a period of 5 min to re-equilibrate the system, followed by additional 5 min at this final concentration. Before each sample measurement, a baseline was performed following the same conditions by loading Milli-Q water into the injection loop.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hydrophobic Dorzolamide and IMC were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). All solvents were used as received without further purification. The human dermal fibroblast cell line (HDFa) and the necessary supplies (antibiotic cocktail: penicillin and streptomycin; non-essential amino acids; trypsin solution; and foetal bovine serum—FBS) for the in vitro cytotoxicity assay were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA).
Two copolymer samples were investigated in the present study. The PCL-g-P(NVCL-co-NVP) copolymers were obtained by a grafting-from technique in three steps, as previously reported [24 (link)]. The backbone was synthesised by ring-opening copolymerisation of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) and α-chloro-ε-caprolactone (α-Cl-ε-CL). In the second step, a RAFT macroinitiator was prepared by the substitution of pendant chloro groups with a xanthate salt. Finally, RAFT-Madix copolymerisation of N-vinyl caprolactam (NVCL) with N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) was carried out. The obtained copolymers were analysed by 1H NMR (Bruker AC-400F, MA, USA) and size exclusion chromatography (Shimadzu LC-20AD liquid chromatograph, Japan), and the molecular characteristics of the two samples are provided in Table 4.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Both DL and EE were determined using HPLC (LC-20AD liquid chromatograph, Shimadzu, Japan) consisting of two LC-10ADvp pumps, a DGU-20A continuous degassing unit equipped with an SIL-20A autosampler and an SPD-20A UV–vis detector. Chromatographic separations were achieved by a Pronto SIL® RP-C18 (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column (type SC-150, Bischoff Chromatography, Berlin, Germany).
Data acquisition and processing were performed on a personal computer using LC solution Software, version 1.25 SP4 (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The detector was set at 210 nm and the temperature was maintained at 25 °C. The mobile phase consists of an isocratic mixture of acetonitrile and deionized water (50/50, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min [29 (link)]. The retention time obtained was 6.9 min for geraniol.
Briefly, a known amount of MM was dissolved in methanol to quantify the geraniol concentration. The DL and EE were calculated by the following equations: DL(%)=(Weight of drug in MM/Weight of the feeding polymer and drug)×100
EE(%)=(Weight of drug in MM/Weight of the feeding drug)×100

Drug quantification by LC–MS/MS was based on the principles of isotope dilution [28 (link)]. ORDX SD rats (n = 5–7) were treated with DHED (100 μg/kg, p.o.) and then euthanized 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 h after treatment. The hypothalami were dissected from the harvested brains, followed by tissue homogenization (20% w/v, pH 7.4 phosphate buffer) and adding 13C-labeled internal standard (IS) (13C6-E2, 100 pg) for E2 quantitation, as reported previously [16 (link),19 (link),28 (link)]. Liquid–liquid extraction was performed with 4 volumes of methyl tert-butyl ether. The organic layers obtained from the extractions were removed and evaporated under a nitrogen stream to yield samples for derivatization and subsequent LC–MS/MS analysis using electrospray ionization. Derivatization of the analyte and the IS was done by dansyl chloride [28 (link)]. The dansylated samples were centrifuged at 4500 rpm for 3 min, transferred to autosampler vials, sealed, and assayed using an LC–MS-8050 triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer connected to an LC-20AD liquid chromatograph (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan). Separation was performed according to our earlier publication using a Phenomenex (Torrance, CA, USA) Kinetex phenyl-hexyl column (50 mm × 2.1 mm i.d., 2.6 µm particles with 100 Ǻ pores), and quantification relied on selected-reaction monitoring [28 (link)].

A total of 50 mg of the rhizome of Sweetie Iris (Iris pallida) was accurately weighed into a 50 mL tube and extracted as shown in the extraction procedure. An aliquot of the extract after centrifugation was filtered through a 0.2 μm syringe filter before injection (10 µL). HPLC analysis was performed using an LC-20AD liquid chromatograph (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). An Itertsil ODS 2 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm particles, GL Science Inc., Tokyo, Japan) was used. Mobile phases A and B were 0.1% phosphoric with water and MeOH, respectively. The column temperature was maintained at 30 °C, and the flow rate of the mobile phase was set at 0.5 mL min−1. The following multi-step gradient with different proportions of mobile phase B was applied: 0 min, 10% B; 5 min, 40% B; 10 min, 80% B; 20 min, 20% B and maintained until 30 min before injection (20 μL). The analysis was monitored using an SPD-M20A detector at 265 nm. Quantification was obtained by comparing the peak areas of the target compounds with the abundance of these compounds in the corresponding standards used in the calibration curve. All chemical analyses were performed in three replications.

Samples were spiked with 5 μg/ml 5-chlorouracil internal standard and processed by an ammonium sulfate precipitation (4.1 Molar (M)) followed by extraction with ethyl acetate: isopropanol (10:1) [15 (link)]. The supernatants were dried under nitrogen, reconstituted in 100 μl of 1 mM ammonium acetate, pH 5.0, and passed through a 0.2 mm GHP filter (Pall Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI) for analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). 5-fluorouracil was spiked into blank mouse plasma (CD-1, K3-EDTA)(Bioreclamation IVT) to generate the standard curves (1–1000 ng/ml) and QCs (25, 75, 750 ng/ml), and processed as described above. Compounds were separated using an Atlantis T3 column (3 μm, 2.1 × 50mm; Waters) fitted with an Atlantis T3 guard column (Waters) using 1 mM ammonium acetate, pH 5.0 (mobile A) and a gradient of 2–75% MeOH: ACN (1:1) (mobile phase B) on an LC-20AD liquid chromatograph (Shimadzu). Analytes were detected using a TSQ Ultra triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) equipped with a heated ESI source in the positive-ion mode. 5-fluoruracil and 5-chlorouracil were measured by selected-ion monitoring using the transitions 129->42 and 145->42, respectively, at a collision energy of 17 Volts. Calibration curves were generated in XCalibur (Thermo Fisher Scientific) using linear regression and a 1/X2 weighting.
