The leaves of Graptopetalum paraguayense were ground and lyophilized into powder at −20°C and stored in a moisture buster at 25°C before extraction. First, 1.5 g of Graptopetalum paraguayense powder was vortexed with 10 ml of 100% methanol (MeOH) for 5 minutes and then centrifuged for 5 min. After removal of the supernatant, 10 mL of 30% DMSO was added to each pellet to resuspend them. The suspension was mixed by vortexing for 5 min, centrifuged twice for 5 min, and filtered using a 0.45-μm filter at room temperature. The 30% DMSO supernatant was either stored at −20°C as a 150-mg/ml stock solution (referred to as GP extracts) or fractionated into four fractions (F1–F4) by a Sephadex LH-20 column. Using the analysis of AURKA, AURKB, and FLJ10540 protein levels via Western blotting, active molecules were obtained in fraction 3, referred to as the HH-F3 fraction. The HH-F3 fraction was further analyzed by HPLC with a UV detector (Shimadzu SPD-M10A), a normal-phase HPLC column (Phenomenex Luna 5 μm Silica (2) 100 Å, 4.6 × 250 mm), and 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra to identify the structure of the active molecules. HH-F3 was then subjected to dialysis against water using a dialysis membrane (MWCO 12–14,000) (Spectrum Laboratories, Rancho Dominguez, CA) to obtain active compounds.

HPLC Analysis of Astaxanthin Isomers

Astaxanthin isomers were analyzed using
normal-phase HPLC with a photodiode array detector (SPD-M20A; Shimadzu,
Kyoto, Japan) as previously described.18 (link) Briefly, two silica gel columns connected in tandem (Luna 5 μm
Silica (2), 2 mm × 150 mm × 4.6 mm, 100 Å, Phenomenex
Inc., Torrance, CA) were used as the stationary phase, and a mixture
of hexane, ethyl acetate, and acetone (70:20:10, v/v/v) was used as
the mobile phase. The column temperature was adjusted to 40 °C,
and the flow rate was maintained at 1.2 mL/min. The quantification
of astaxanthin isomers was carried out by peak area integration at
470 nm. The peaks of astaxanthin E/Z-isomers in the chromatograms were identified by retention times
and spectral data (i.e., whole band shapes of the absorption spectra,
maximum absorption wavelengths, and relative intensities of the Z-peak to the absorption maximum peak of the isomer [Q-ratios]).12 (link),14 (link),18 (link),19 (link) The total (or each) Z-isomer
ratio of astaxanthin was determined as follows

Quantifying Vitamin E in Samples

Vitamin E content was analysed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) according to MPOB Test Method (2005) . Approximately 0.02 g of melted sample was dissolved in 5 mL of n-heptane. Each mixture (20 μL) was injected into Agilent 1100 series HPLC equipped with a fluorescence detector (Agilent, USA). Emission and excitation wavelength was set at 330 nm and 290 nm, respectively. The sample was eluted using mobile consisting of heptane and isopropanol at a ratio of 99.5:0.5 (v/v) with a flow rate of 1.4 mL/min and a running time of 30 mins. The temperature of the column was set at 35°C. The column used was Luna® 5 μm silica of 250 mm in length × 4.6 mm in diameter (Phenomenex, California, United State). The αtocopherol, α-, β, γ-and δ -tocotrienols were identified by comparing with 95.5% tocols standard (Darvo Life Science, KLK OLEO).

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.
