In vitro drug release studies were performed using an Automated Transdermal Diffusion Cells Sampling System (Logan System 912-6, Somerset, KY, USA). The drug-loaded samples PDMSCN-CoAM, PDMSPA1, CN-CoAM, PDMSPA2,CN-CoAM, PDMSPA3, CN-CoAM, PDMSPA5, CN-CoAM were cut into 10 mm × 10 mm squares and placed on the top of a PET mesh. The receptor compartment was filled with Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS, purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) with a pH value of 7.4 and its temperature was maintained at 37 °C. During the dissolution testing the medium was stirred continuously with a magnetic bar. Samples were collected over a period of 24 h at different time intervals (1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360 and 1440 min), while the released/dissolved CoAM concentration in the receptor medium was determined by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Cary 60 UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, Agilent, Germany) by quantification of the absorption band at 276 nm. The withdrawn sample volumes were replaced by fresh PBS with a stable temperature of 37 °C of the same volume. Sink conditions were assured due to sample withdrawal, followed by sample dilution through media replacement. In calculation of concentrations using the Beer–Lambert Law, this dilution was accounted for. All release studies were performed in triplicates and are reported as average value with standard errors.

Hemoprotein UV-Vis Spectroscopy Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The UV-visible spectra of WT and mutant forms OleTJE were collected using a Cary 60 UV-visible spectrophotometer (Agilent). Spectra were recorded at ambient temperature for the proteins in buffer A, typically at concentrations of ∼4–6 μm. The ferrous and FeII-CO forms of the hemoproteins were produced under anaerobic conditions using degassed buffer A. Reduced enzymes were formed by the addition of a few grains of solid sodium dithionite to ferric enzymes. The FeII-CO complexes were then formed by slowly bubbling CO gas into reduced OleTJE proteins until no further spectral shift was observed.

At the end of the incubation, bacterial growth was quantified at 764 nm (
Joshi
et al., 2016
). This was followed by pigment extraction and quantification, as per the method described below for each of the pigments. Purity of each of the extracted pigment was confirmed by running a UV-vis scan (Agilent Cary 60 UV-visible spectrophotometer). Appearance of single major peak (at the λ
max reported in literature) was taken as indication of purity.

This was followed by pigment extraction and quantification, as per the method described below for each of the pigment. Purity of each of the extracted pigment was confirmed by running a UV-vis scan (Agilent Cary 60 UV-visible spectrophotometer). Appearance of single major peak (at the λmax reported in literature) was taken as indication of purity.

Quantification of Hemolysis in Blood Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Percent hemolysis was measured based on % hematocrit, supernatant hemoglobin (Hb) (g/dL), and total (Hb) (supernatant + RBC, g/dL) in 50 microliter samples obtained weekly from storage bags. Supernatant and RBCs were separated using a hematocrocrit centrifuge (ThermoFisher, Frederick, MD, United States). Hematocrit was recorded and supernatant was separated from RBCs. Supernatant and lysed RBC Hb levels were measured using a Cary 60 UV-visible spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, United States). Oxy ferrous Hb (HbFe2+O2) and ferric Hb (HbFe3+) concentrations were determined based on the extinction coefficients for each species. Molar extinction coefficients used to calculate Hb concentrations in heme equivalents were: 15.2 mM–1 cm–1 at 576 nm for Hb(O2) and 4.4 mM–1 cm–1 at 631 nm for ferric Hb using 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, at ambient temperature, in both cases. Total heme was calculated by adding these values and converting (heme) (microM) to total (Hb) (g/dL).

Quantifying Lipid Oxidation via TBARS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The TBARS tests were carried out as described previously with some modifications [6 (link)]. Briefly, 100 mg of lipid sample was mixed with 25 mL of 1-butanol. Then, 5 mL of the mixture was transferred into a screw-capped bottle containing 5 mL of freshly prepared TBA reagent (0.5 g of TBA in 250 mL of 1-butanol) and thoroughly mixed. Contents were incubated at 95 °C for 2 h, cooled on ice and centrifuged at 6500 rpm for 5 min. The clear-coloured liquid was transferred to a clean cuvette, and absorbance was read at 535 nm in a Cary 60 UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies; Santa Clara, CA, USA). The results were calculated using the formula C = (0.415 × A)/w, where A is the absorbance at 532 nm, w is the sample mass (g), and factor 0.415 was obtained from the calibration curve of the MDA standard (1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane). The final results of TBARS were expressed as milligram (mg) MDA equivalents per kilogram (kg) of lipid sample.

Citrus wine samples were centrifuged and filtered through 0.45-μm filters prior to analysis. The color values of the wine were evaluated using CIELab color space (Pérez-Caballero et al., 2003 ) and were measured with a Cary 60 UV-visible spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies) at four wavelengths (450, 520, 570, and 630 nm). The values L* (lightness), a* (from red to green), and b* (from blue to yellow) (Pérez-Caballero et al., 2003 ), as well as C* (chroma), H* (hue-angle), and E* (color difference) (Ramos-Escudero et al., 2012 ), were calculated according to the following six formulae

Phenolic Content Determination by Folin-Ciocalteu

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The content of phenols was obtained by a colorimetric method described by Velioglu et al. [11 (link)] with some modifications. Briefly, 100 μL of the extract (at 2 mg/mL in 80% methanol) was mixed with 750 μL of the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent (diluted in a 1/10 proportion of Milli-Q water). After 5 min in the dark, 750 μL of sodium bicarbonate (60 g/L) was added to the mixture. The tubes were kept in the dark for 90 min at 30 °C, then the absorbance was obtained at 725 nm using a Cary60 UV-visible spectrophotometer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Gallic acid (10–100 μg, Y = 0.0076X − 0.0182; R2 = 0.9998) was used for the preparation of the standard curve. The content regarding phenolic compounds was then expressed as mg gallic acid per gram of extract. Three experiments were performed in triplicate for each measurement and the values were recorded as the mean ± SD.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The specific activity of all purified enzymes was measured in a 100 μL cuvette with a Cary 60 UV–visible spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, USA) by following the change in absorbance at 340 nm. For MGST1, 5 mM GSH (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and 0.5 mM CDNB (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) as second substrate were used, respectively, in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer pH 6.5 containing 0.1% Triton X-100. The molar extinction coefficient used for CDNB conjugation was 9.6 mM–1 cm–1.44 (link) GSTA1 and GSTP1 were measured with 1 mM GSH and 1 mM CDNB in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer pH 6.5 at 30 °C. The change in absorbance, after correction for the nonenzymatic reaction, was used to calculate the concentration of the active enzyme based on previously published values. All measurements were taken in triplicate, and slopes were fitted using the Cary WinUV software package (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, USA).

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.
