The FRAP reaction mixture was prepared mixing 300 mM sodium acetate (VWR International, Milan, Italy) buffer (pH 3.6) with 10 mM 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-s-triazine (TPTZ) (VWR International, Milan, Italy) and 20 mM FeCl3 (VWR International, Milan, Italy) in a 8:1:1 (v/v/v) ratio [85 (link)]. The assay protocol was optimized to monitor the bathochromic shift using a microplate reader, as previously described [3 (link)]. Briefly, 170 µL of the FRAP reaction mixture was added to 30 µL of ethanolic extract. After vigorous shaking, the 96-well plate was incubated at 37 °C for 4 min, and the absorbance of each well was recorded at 593 nm. For estimating the FRAP values, Trolox was used as a reference standard in an external calibration curve (y = 7.64x + 0.06; R2: 0.9999; LOD: 1.12·10−3 mg/mL; LOQ: 3.38·10−3 mg/mL). FRAP was then expressed as mmol TE per 100 g of FW ± SD.

Heparin Pyridinium Salt Functionalization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Heparin sodium salt (Sigma) was reconstituted with distilled, deionized water (ddH2O) at 10mg/mL and desalted using Dowex 50WX4 resin (mesh size 100-200, Sigma), adding pyridine until the pH reached a value of ∼6, as previously described [28 (link)]. The solution was reduced and excess pyridine was eliminated using a rotary evaporator (Buchi) before being flash frozen and lyophilized to yield heparin pyridinium salts. The heparin pyridinium salts were then dissolved in solution of 90% DMSO/10% ddH2O (v/v) at a concentration of 1mg/mL. The solution was mixed for 2h at 50°C in a rotary evaporator and then cooled on ice and precipitated by an equal volume of 95% ethanol (VWR) saturated with sodium acetate (VWR). The precipitate was centrifuged and washed with ethanol prior to dissolving in distilled water (dH2O). The solution was dialyzed for 3 days with daily exchanges of dH2O and then lyophilized (Labconco). Finally, the product was functionalized using a 8.0 molar excess of of N-(3-aminopropyl) methacrylamide hydrochloride (APMAm, Polysciences), N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS, Acros Organics) and N-3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC, Sigma) at an acidic pH. After functionalization, the solution was dialyzed and lyophilized again as described previously. The finished product was stored at -20°C until use.

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.
