purity of the lead compounds (T1, B1, S1, and S2),
of the other two hits from the tethered docking (T2 and T3), and of
the control compound (AX20017), we performed high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) experiments with an HPLC HP series 1100 instrument
and an RP-18 column (Phenomenex, description: sphereClone 5 μm
ODS(2), size: 250 × 4.60 mm 5 μm). The injection volume
was 20 μL, the UV wavelength for detection was 254 nm, and the
mobile phase was the mixture of water/methanol 40:60 for all compounds,
except for compound S2 (water/methanol 10:90). The HPLC traces are
provided in the Supporting Information (
S2 and the control compound AX20017 was confirmed to be >95%. The
purity values of two non-lead compounds (T2 and T3) were >96% and
>84%, respectively.
