Thermo-Fisher Dionex UltiMate 3000 UPLC-Q Exactive Orbitrap-MS and Xcalibur workstation were used to obtain LC-MS raw data. For the chromatographic separation of the cerebral cortex, the sample was analyzed on an ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column. The column temperature was maintained at 35°C, the flow rate was set at 0.2 ml/min, and the injection volume was 5 μl; the mobile phase and gradient are shown in Supplementary Table S1. Mass spectrometry conditions: samples were analyzed under positive and negative ionization modes via a heated electrospray ionization (HESI) source; the scan mode was “Full Scan 35000 FWHM/dd-MS2” (Resolution 17500, NCE 25, Stepped NCE 50%); the spray voltage was set to 3.6 kV for the positive mode and 2.5 kV for the negative mode; capillary temperature, 320°C; sheath gas flow, 35 arbitrary units; aux gas flow, 10 arbitrary units; scan range, m/z 50–1500.

UHPLC-QE HRMS and NMR Data Processing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The UHPLC-QE HRMS raw data were automatically processed using an Xcalibur workstation (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Then, the processed data were imported into CD software (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for peak extraction and normalization. The peak width at 5% height and the peak-to-peak baseline noise were automatically determined, and the processing parameters were set as follows: retention time range, 038 min; mass range, 1001500 Da; mass tolerance, 5 ppm; retention time tolerance, 0.05 min; S/N threshold, 1.5; negative adducts, [MH], [M + HCOO]; and positive adducts, [M+H]+ and [M+Na]+. The compounds characterized by CD software were identified by searching the mz Cloud, Masslist, Chemspider, and PubChem databases.
The NMR spectra were processed using MestReNova (version 6.1.1, Mestrelab Research, Santiago de Compostella, Spain) to manually correct the baseline and phase and calibrated to TMS at δ 0.00 for CDCl3. All spectra were referenced to the residual signal of CD3OD at δ 3.31.

The column temperature was isothermally maintained at 80°C for 5 min and raised to 300°C at a rate of 10°C/min. The temperature was then isothermally maintained at 300°C for 5 min. The temperatures of the transfer line and the ion source were 280°C and 230°C, respectively. The ions were generated at an electron impact (EI) energy of 70 kV, and 20 scans/s were recorded over the mass range of 45–550 m/z. The column temperature program was in Table

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prior to LC-MS/MS analysis, osteosarcoma cells (1 × 106 cells) and tissue (5–10 mg) were thoroughly mixed or homogenized (tissue) in 1 mL of buffer containing 60% methanol and 40% ddH2O, which was pre-cooled to −40 °C. The mixture was then centrifuged. Amino acids were the UltiMate 3000-TSQ Endura UPLC–MS/MS system from Thermo Fisher Scientific, equipped with a Syncronis HILIC Column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm). Mass spectrometric detection was performed on a TSQ Endura triple quadruple mass spectrometer with an elect ionization source. Compound-specific parameters of the mass spectrometer were set as follows: spray voltage at 3500 V, capillary temperature at 320 °C, vaporizer temperature at 350 °C, sheath gas at 35 (Arb), and auxiliary gas at (10b). The detections were carried out in the (SRM) positive mode with transitions of m/z values as follows: Met - m/z150.2 → 104.1511; SAH - m/z385.45 → 134.111; SAM - m/z399.35 → 250.111 respectively. Instrument control and data acquisition were performed using an Xcalibur workstation from Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Components in PDBW were analyzed with a LC-MS/MS system. Chromatographic separation was performed using an Agilent 1,290 Infinity II UPLC system (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) equipped with an Agilent Eclipse XDB-C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm i.d., 3.5 μm). The column temperature was set at 35°C and the UV absorption wavelengths were set as 254 and 320 nm, respectively.

An optimal gradient elution program was applied to separate the components effectively: 0–15 min, 5–90% B; 15–20 min, 90% B. MS/MS analysis was operated using a high resolution mass spectrometer (Q-Exactive Focus, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The MS data were acquired from an electrospray ionization (ESI) source in positive and negative ion mode, respectively. The parameters of the source were set as follows: nebulizer gas pressure 45.00 psi; electrospray voltage 4,000 V; fragmentor 150 V; desolvation gas (nitrogen > 99.99%) flow 600 L/h; desolvation temperature 350°C and source temperature 100°C; target mass m/z 400; scan range m/z 100–1,500.

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.
