Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
L. binervosum was collected in sea cliffs in Llanes (Asturias, Spain; 43°26′10.7″ N 4°49′25.1″ W) in early September 2020. Separate composite samples of flowers and leaves were obtained by thoroughly mixing the aerial parts from different specimens (n = 15). The composite samples were shade-dried, pulverized in a mechanical grinder, homogenized and sieved (1 mm mesh).
L. binervosum flower samples were mixed (1:20 w/v) with a 1:1 v/v methanol:water solution and heated for 30 min in a water bath at 50 °C. Subsequently, they were sonicated for 5 min in pulse mode with a 1 min stop for each 2.5 min, using a Hielscher Ultrasonics (Teltow, Germany) probe-type ultrasonicator (model UIP1000hdT; 1000 W, 20 kHz). The solution was subjected to centrifugation at 9000 rpm for 15 min, and the supernatant was filtered through Whatman No. 1 paper. Aliquots were lyophilized for CHNS and FTIR analyses. The extraction procedure for leaf samples was identical.
Each extraction procedure was replicated three times (on subsamples of the flower and leaf composite samples), and the resulting hydromethanolic extracts were mixed to obtain the samples for GC‒MS analysis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total phenolic content (TPC) was determined using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer according to the method of Singh et al. (2014 ). A 0.1g sample was added to 20 mL of methanol for extraction. Then the sample was placed in a mechanical shaker (Hy-2(C), Shanghai, China) at room temperature for 24 h. Then, the sample was centrifuged (Sigma 2-16KC, USA) for 15 min at 1107 g and filtered with Whatman No.1 paper. Then one millilitre of extracts was mixed with two millilitres of 2N Folin-Ciocalteau reagent. Immediately, two millilitres of 7.5% sodium carbonated solution were added, and the volume was filled with deionized water to make the total 10 mL. During oxidation with FC reagent, a phenol compound was reduced to blue-colour molybdenum and tungsten oxides. After 90 min, the absorbance of the solution was measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 765 nm against the blank sample. The total phenolic content was determined from standard curve of Gallic acid equivalent (GAE) (25–600 mg/L, Y = 0.001X+0.112, R2 = 0.995) and expressed as mg of GAE/g.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The fungus A. versicolor was initially cultivated for 7 days at 30 °C in petro plates containing a solid medium from Vogel (1965). Then, 1.0 mL of the spore suspension (5 × 107 spores/mL) were inoculated for 5 days in a VOGEL (1965) liquid medium containing 1% wheat bran, following the established methodology [17 (link)]. The material was filtered on Whatman No. 1 paper and was dialyzed against 50 mmol/L Tris-HCl buffer to remove impurities. Then, the crude extract was subjected to ion exchange purification [29 (link)]. Thus, 15 mL of SEPHADEX A-50 resin (GE HEALTHCARE) and 150 mL of the enzymatic extract were used in 250 mL Erlenmeyer submitted to 10 °C under light agitation for a period of 24 h in a refrigerated incubator (MARCONI MA 830/A). After a period of 24 h, the mixture was filtered through filter paper (7 cm in diameter, pores of 14 μm) with the aid of a vacuum pump (MARCONI MA057). The gel filtration was performed using SEPHADEX G-75 resin (GE HEALTHCARE), completing the purification process.

Methanolic Extraction and Flavonoid Isolation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The collected fruits were cleaned, washed with distilled water and dried in shade for 4–6 days. The dried fruits were powdered by using blender and then passed through 40 mesh size. The powdered material (250 gm) was initially defatted with petroleum ether and then exhaustly extracted with 80% methanol into the soxhlet assembly for 48 h. The extract was separated by filtration through whatman No.1 paper, concentrated on vacuum evaporator. The extract (Yield-16.4% w/w) was filled in plastic bottle and stored at 4 °C until used.
The crude methanolic extract (10 gm) was subjected to column chromatography and the collected fractions were subjected to shinoda test, followed by TLC. The fractions showing positive response for flavonoid were pooled together and considered as total flavonoid fraction [10] (link). The total flavonoid fraction was concentrated and subjected to further studies.

Extraction and Preparation of Zebrafish Bioassay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We were interested in testing two types of extracts and so one was made with ethanol and the other was made with water. For each extraction, 100 g powder was soaked in distilled water or in a solution of 80% (v/v) ethanol prior to ultrasonication (KH-100DE numerical control ultrasonic cleaners) for 30 min. The water extract was then assigned as S.fru-H2O; and, the ethanolic extract was termed the S.fru-OH extract. Each extract was then filtered using Whatman No1 paper. The extraction was repeated twice on the same material with ultrasonic extraction, lasting a period of 30 min each time. The respective extracts were then pooled together before the water extract (S. fru-H2O) and the 80% ethanol extract (S. fru-OH) were reduced in vacuo. Twenty milligrams of each dried extract was redissolved with either distilled water or 80% (v/v) ethanol (respectively) and made to a 2 mg /mL stock. Thereafter, the extracts were filtered using a 0.22 μm sterile filter into 10 mL volumetric flasks and stored at 4 °C when not in use. These solutions were then used in the zebrafish bioassay.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The collected plants were first washed properly with distilled water and then dried in an oven at 50°C for 72 h with forced air, after which the dried plant were ground into a fine powder using a clean pestle and mortar. Dried sample (approximately 100 g) was soaked in ethanol (300 mL) for 4 days at room temperature (25 ± 2 °C) with an intermittent stirring to allow the powder to fully dissolve in the ethanol. The mixture was then filtered through Whatman No. 1 paper and then the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum using a rotary evaporator. The dry crude extracts were then finally dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) to make a final concentration of 1 mg/ml and then sterilized by filtration using a 0.22 μm membrane for antimicrobial assay [20 (link)]. The resultant extract was kept at 4 °C for further analysis.

VBN content was determined according to the method of Conway (1950) . To 10 g of the sample, 30 mL of distilled water was added and homogenized (NS-50, Japan) for 5 min at 14,000 rpm. The homogenate was filtered through Whatman No. 1 paper and adjusted to total volume of 100 mL. The filtrate (approximately 5 mL) was placed in the outer chamber of a Conway unit (Conway, 1950 ) while 0.01 M Boric acid solution (5 mL) and two drops of Conway reagent (0.066% methyl red+0.066% bromocresol green, in 1:1 ratio) respectively prepared by mixing with ethanol, were added to the inner chamber. After adding 5 mL of 50% K2CO3 solution to the outer chamber, the cover of the Conway unit was closed, and kept at 37°C for 120 min. The Boric acid solution present in the inner chamber was titrated with 0.02 M H2SO4. VBN was recorded as mg %.

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.
