C18 column

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, Finland

The C18 column is a type of chromatography column used for separating and purifying a wide range of organic compounds. It features a stationary phase consisting of silica particles coated with octadecylsilane (C18) functional groups, which provide a non-polar surface for the retention of non-polar or weakly polar analytes. This column is commonly used in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) applications.

The extract of one active strain (Streptomyces sp. IB2014/78-8, S1 Fig) was cultivated in 1.5 L media of DNPM. The secondary metabolites from the liquid culture were extracted by ethyl acetate as described above. Then, the extract was initially (per minute) separated on an Ultimate 3000 HPLC system (Dionex, Sunnyvale, USA) using a C18 column (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, USA), and a linear gradient of acetonitrile against 0.1% ammonium formate solution in water was flowed over the column at 5 mL/min for 23 minutes. Thus, 23 fractions of separated extract were prepared. The antimicrobial activities of the fractions were analyzed against those of the bacteria described in the paragraph “Biological activity assay of extracts from isolated strains”.

K. albida was grown in 20 ml of TSB media for 4 days. 2 ml of pre-culture was inoculated into 50 ml of production media. Six different medias were used: TSB, NL5 (NaCl 1 g/l, KH2PO4 1 g/l, MgSO4x7H2O 0.5 g/l, Trace elements solution 2 ml/l, Glycerol 25 g/l, L-glutamine 5.84 g/l), NL19 (Soy flour 20 g/l, Mannitol 20 g/l), NL111 (Meat extract 20 g/l, Maltose extract 10 g/l, CaCO3 10 g/l), CAS [84 (link)] and SG [99 (link)]. Strain was grown for 7 days at 30°C and 250 rpm. Metabolites were extracted with ethyl acetate from supernatant and acetone-methanol (1:1) mixture from biomass. Extracts were evaporated, dissolved in 100 μl of methanol and samples from biomass and supernatant were combined. 1 μl of each sample were separated on an Ultimate 3000 HPLC (Dionex) using C18 column (Affymetrix) and linear gradient of acetonitrile against 0.1% ammonium formate solution in water. Samples were analyzed on ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometer system maXis (Bruker Daltonics).

The active fractions obtained were analyzed by ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry using an LC-QTOF system maXis II (Bruker, Billerica, USA). The samples were separated on an Ultimate 3000 HPLC system (Dionex, Sunnyvale, USA) using a C18 column (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, USA) and a linear gradient of acetonitrile against 0.1% ammonium formate solution in water at a flow rate 0.5 mL/min for 20 min. The mass detection was performed in both positive and negative modes with the detection range set to 160–2500 m/z. Data were collected and analyzed by Brucker Compass Data Analysis software, version 4.1 (Bruker, Billerica, USA). The screening for known compounds was performed using the Dictionary of Natural Products database version 6.1 (CRC Press, Boca Raton, USA) with the following search parameters: accurate molecular mass, absorption spectra and source of compound isolation [33 ]. Compounds were considered to be similar when the difference in accurate mass was close to 0.01 and the absorption spectra were identical. This part of the study was completed at Helmholtz-Institut für Pharmazeutische Forschung Saarland (HIPS).

The chromatographic separations were achieved with a C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., particle size 5 µm) from Dionex® equipped with a guard column (C18, 4 mm × 3.9 µm, Phenomenex®). Separations were carried out at a column oven temperature of 24°C. The mobile phase consisted of purified water (A) and methanol (B), both acidified with 0.05% trifluoracetic acid (TFA), at a flow rate adjusted to 0.8 mL/min.

Dialysis method was used to prepare single-loaded and dual-loaded PEG-PLA-PEG aggregates, using hydrophobic PTX and hydrophilic CDDP as model drugs (Jelonek et al., 2015 , Jelonek et al., 2016 ). Briefly, PEG-PLA-PEG copolymer, PTX, and/or CDDP were dissolved in 1 mL of dimethyl formamide (DMF), a water miscible and low toxic solvent. The solution was added into a pretreated dialysis membrane (MWCO = 3500) and dialyzed in PBS containing 0.1% tween during 24 h to obtain single or dual drug loaded aggregates. Drug release was conducted under constant shaking at 37 °C in 40 mL PBS containing 0.1% tween. The whole release medium was renewed at predetermined time intervals (Li et al., 2018 (link)).
The amount of PTX was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC; Shimadzu LC-10A) with a Dionex C18 column and UV detector. The mobile phase was acetonitrile/water mixture with 55/45 vol ratio at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Measurements were made at 227 nm. Meanwhile, CDDP was determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES; Leeman Prodigy XP).

HPLC with electrochemical detection was used to measure striatal levels of dopamine, DOPAC and serotonin using a method that has been described (Sathe et al., 2012 (link), Nuber et al., 2008 (link)). Briefly, after mice were killed, striata were dissected out and snap frozen directly on dry ice. Striata were then homogenized in 1% perchloric acid (PCA) (1:30 [i.e. tissue weight: PCA volume]) and centrifuged at 14,000g at 4 °C for 20 min. Following centrifugation, 20 μl of the supernatant sample was injected onto a C18 column (Dionex, Germering, Germany). The mobile phase consisted of 90% 50 mM sodium acetate, 35 mM citric acid, 105 mg/L octane sulfonic acid, 48 mg/L sodium EDTA solution, and 10% methanol at pH 4.3. Flow rate was 1 ml/min. Peaks were detected by an ESA Coulochem II electrochemical detector (ESA), and the detector potential was set at 700 mV. Data were collected and processed using the Chromeleon computer system (Dionex).

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.
