To 1 ml of a sample solution containing 100 μM GSSG with or without 100 μM CORM-2 or −3 incubated at 37°C for a designated amount of time (2 or 18 h), 10 μL of a mBBr stock solution was added. The resulting mixture was incubated for 30 min at 37 °C before measuring the fluorescence at 390 nm excitation and 482 emission on a fluorometer. For quantifications of GSH and GSSG, the sample was analyzed by LC-MS. Generally, 1 μL of the internal standard (IS) stock solution was added to 200 μL of the control or the reaction mixture. The mixture was vortexed for 10 s and 10 μL was injected to the LC-MS system, separated with C18 column (Kromasil, 3.5 μm, 4.6×150 mm or Waters Sunfire, 3.5 μm, 3.5×150 mm) by using a gradient eluent (ACN:H2O with 0.1% FA, 2%−95% in 10 min, 0.7 ml/min). The extracted molecular ion peaks of the GSSG (m/z=611, [M-H]), GSH-bimane (m/z=496, [M-H]), and the internal standard (m/z=208, [M-H]-) were detected under negative ion mode and integrated using default settings. Semi-quantitative determination of GSSG decrease was made by directly comparing the ratio of GSSG/IS. Quantification of GSH-bimane was made by establishing standard curve. To establish a standard curve, 3.125, 6.25, and 12.5 μM GSH in PBS was incubate with mBBr then added with IS before injecting to LCMS.

Synthesis of SEQ ID NO: 4

The solid phase synthesis was carried out on Novabiochem Rink-Amide resin (4-(2′,4′-Dimethoxyphenyl-Fmoc-aminomethyl)-phenoxyacetamido-norleucylaminomethyl resin), 100-200 mesh, loading of 0.34 mmol/g. The Fmoc-synthesis strategy was applied with HBTU/DIPEA-activation. In position 14 Fmoc-Lys(ivDde)-OH and in position 1 Boc-His(Boc)-OH were used in the solid phase synthesis protocol. The ivDde-group was cleaved from the peptide on resin according to a modified literature procedure (S. R. Chhabra et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 39, (1998), 1603), using 4% hydrazine hydrate in DMF. Hereafter Palm-Glu(γOSu)-OtBu was coupled to the liberated amino-group. The peptide was cleaved from the resin with King's cocktail (D. S. King, C. G. Fields, G. B. Fields, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 36, 1990, 255-266). The crude product was purified via preparative HPLC on a Waters column (Sunfire, Prep C18) using an acetonitrile/water gradient (both buffers with 0.1% TFA).

Finally, the molecular mass of the purified peptide was confirmed by LC-MS.

Analytical Methods

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was done with a C-18 reversed-phase narrow bore column (3 mm i.d., 150 mm length, 5 μm; SunFire; Waters) on a Waters 2695 separation module equipped with 996 photodiode array detector. The column was eluted with a gradient of (A) aqueous 25 mM triethylammonium acetate and (B) 100% acetonitrile. The elution program created a linear gradient started from 100% (by volume) A to 85% A at 10 min with flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. Peak detection and integration were conducted with the signal at 260 nm. Full UV spectra (230˜400 nm) were also obtained. Preparative HPLC purification was done using an ion exchange column (22 mm id, 250 mm length, 5 μm; DNAPac PA-100; Thermo Fisher Scientific) on a Waters Delta 600 module. The column was eluted with a gradient of (A) water and (B) 1 M ammonium bicarbonate. The elution program created a linear gradient started from 100% A to 70% A at 15 min with flow rate of 10 ml/min. Peak detection was conducted using the 260 nm absorbance. 1H NMR spectra were recorded in deuterium oxide on Varian Mercury 300 NMR spectrometer. High resolution mass spectrometry was conducted on Agilent 6220 Time-of-Flight connected with Agilent 1100 series system consisting of G13793 degasser and G1312B binary pump with Electro spray ionization in negative mode.

Dried hypocotyls of maca were obtained from Lijiang BaiSuiFang Biotechnology Development Co. Ltd. (Yunnan, China). They were ground into a powder and passed through an 80-mesh sieve to obtain maca powder. Dried maca powder (10 g) was soaked in 100 ml of 95% ethanol (1/10, w/v) and reflux-extracted at 70 °C for 2 h twice. The extract was collected, filtered, and evaporated with a rotary evaporator at 50 °C to yield 1.97 g of EEM. To identify the active ingredients in EEM, we used a chromatographic technique. HPLC experiments comprised an UltiMate3000 system equipped with a UV-vis detector. Separation was performed using a C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm × 5 μm, Waters Sunfire) at 30 °C. The mobile phase was 90% acetonitrile with a flow rate of 0.6 mL min−1. EEM was dissolved using an appropriate volume of methanol and was filtered through a 0.45 μm syringe filter. The extract with an injection volume of 20 μL was added to HPLC vials and injected into the automatic sampler, and was detected at 210 nm. Macamides were qualitatively identified by comparing the retention times with the standards, and their contents were calculated based on the peak area. By HPLC analysis, the extract contained 750.23 mg/100 g total macamides.

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.
