Analytical grade cis-bixin (9-cis-6,6′-diapo-ψ,ψ-carotenedioic acid, 6-methyl ester) was purchased from Spectrum (CAS number: 6983-79-5). LC/MS confirmation of purity (>98% by weight) was performed using electrospray mass spectrometry of bixin [dissolved in tetrahydrofuran and diluted 10-fold in acetonitrile/NH4OH (0.1 N); ESI-MS (negative ion mode) m/z 393.21 (M - 1)-] employing a Bruker Apex FT/ICR mass spectrometer, as specified before (Tao et al., 2015 (link)). Polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400) was from EMD Millipore. Xanthotoxin (8-methoxypsoralen, 8-MOP), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were from Sigma. Primary antibodies against NRF2, KEAP1, TRXR1, GCLM, NQO1, HO1, OGG1, GAPDH, and actin were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. Primary antibody against p62 was from Abnova. Secondary antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were purchased from Sigma. Antibody against 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) was from Trevigen.

Bixin Analysis by Mass Spectrometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Electrospray mass spectrometry of bixin [dissolved in tetrahydrofuran and diluted tenfold in acetonitrile/NH4OH (0.1 N); ESI-MS (negative ion mode) m/z 393.21 (M-1)] was performed using a Bruker Apex FT/ICR mass spectrometer. For determination of bixin plasma levels, mouse samples were subjected to chloroform extraction followed by analysis using a Thermo Finnigan Surveyor HPLC system with photodiode array detector (300-580 nm) using a Luna RP-C18 column (3 μ; 100 × 4.6 mm; Phenomenex, Torrance, CA) with mobile phase A (water, 0.1 % formic acid) and mobile phase B (acetonitrile, 0.1 % formic acid); gradient: 0 min: 20% A; 10 min: 5% A; 15 min 0% A.

Optical rotations were acquired on a JASCO P-2000 Digital polarimeter. UV spectra were measured using a Thermo Evolution 201 spectrophotometer. All NMR spectra were acquired in 1:2 pyridine-d5/MeOH-d4 on a 600 MHz Agilent DD2 spectrometer with a 5 mm OneNMR probe. NMR data were analyzed using MestReNova 8.1. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained using a Bruker Apex FT-ICR mass spectrometer with an ESI interface (compound 1) and a Bruker ultrafleXtreme MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometer with HCCA matrix (compound 2). MS/MS experiments were conducted on an AB SCIEX 4000 QTRAP mass spectrometer, with a collision energy of 35 eV. Semi-preparative HPLC was accomplished using a system with two Waters 515 HPLC pumps, a gradient controller, and a Waters 2996 diode array UV detector.

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.
