Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The dichloromethane–methanol extracts of both hairy root lines, SaTRN12.2 (1) and SaTRN7.1 (2), were analyzed using HPLC by monitoring Scopoletin (1) absorbance at λ = 344 nm and sphaeralcic acid (3) at λ = 357 nm. Scopoletin (99% purity; Sigma–Aldrich Chemical) and sphaeralcic acid (95% purity) were identified by comparing their absorption spectra and their retention times (Scopoletin, 10.3 min, and sphaeralcic acid, 22.8 min). Sphaeralcic acid was purified from cells in a suspension of S. angustifolia and was identified by our group [18 (link),19 (link),20 (link)]. The concentration ratio for Scopoletin quantification ranged from 1.25 to 20 µg/mL, and for sphaeralcic acid from 2.5 to 40 µg/mL. The regression equation for Scopoletin was (y) = 165,407 (x) + 16,720, r2 = 0.9993, and for sphaeralcic acid it was (y) = 7381.9 (x) + 1362.2, r2 = 0.9998.

All reagents and solvents used in this study were of analytical reagent or HPLC grade and were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). The raw leaves and sprouts of Portulaca oleracea were collected in the spontaneous state, in a region of southern Italy. Standards used to identify purslane antioxidant compounds were: caffeic acid; p-coumaric acid; scopoletin; ferulic acid; quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside; quercetin; apigenin; bergapten, all purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Milan, Italy), or were purified with an HPLC-UV/VIS working at 280 nm using the same chromatographic conditions described in the LC/MS/MS section from purslane leaves extracts. Fractions of the different compounds collected from HPLC were quickly freeze-dried, then dissolved in methanol at a concentration of 10 µg/mL and used for LC/MS/MS investigations. All the other reagents used were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Milan, Italy).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK-Blue-Null1 was derived from the human embryonic kidney-293 (HEK-293) cell line and obtained from Invivogen (San Diego, CA, USA). These cells stably express an optimized secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter gene preceded by the NF-κB promoter.
In a 96-well plate, 5.0 × 104 HEK-Blue-Null1 were incubated overnight at 37 °C in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Gibco, Dreieich, Germany) supplemented with 2 mM l-glutamine, 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 50 units/mL penicillin, 50 µg/mL streptomycin (Gibco) and 100 µg/mL Normocin (Invivogen). Cell were treated with 1.6 nM triptolide (Invivogen) and varying concentrations of scopoletin (5 µM, 20 µM and 40 µM) (Sigma-Aldrich). The activation of NF-κB was induced by 100 ng/mL of TNF-α for 24 h. Then, 20 µL aliquots of cell culture were added to 180 µL of pre-warmed Quanti-Blue detection reagent (Invivogen) per well according to the manufacturer’s instructions. NF-κB activation was detected by measuring SEAP spectrophotometrically at 630 nm (Tecan Teader, Tecan Group Ltd., Maennedorf, Switzerland).

Antimicrobial Effects of Coumarins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The antimicrobial activity of scopoletin and fraxetin (Sigma Aldrich) against single bacterial strains was assayed in liquid culture in 50% tryptic soy broth (TSB, 15g/L; Sigma Aldrich). scopoletin and fraxetin stocks were prepared in sterile DMSO (Sigma Aldrich) and stored at -80°C. Bacterial colonies were picked from TSA plates into liquid TSB and grown for 2–3 days at 25°C with 180 rpm agitation. Liquid cultures were subcultured by diluting 1:100 into fresh TSB and incubated for 1–2 h. In a clear flat-bottom 96-well microtiter plate, 100 μl of subculture were added to 100 μl of fresh TSB media supplemented with scopoletin or fraxetin for a final 50 μM concentration, or equivalent DMSO negative control. The microtiter plate was sealed with a clear adhesive film to prevent evaporation. Growth was monitored kinetically in a microplate reader (Infinite M200 PRO, Tecan) with 30 seconds of shaking followed by measurement of optical density (OD) at 600 nm in four locations per well every 30–60 min for 18–20 h. The OD in each experiment was expressed as the average of triplicate wells per condition. Relative growth (Figure 2D) was calculated by dividing the average final OD measurement of each strain and indicated condition by the average OD in the coumarin-free control.

Calibration Curves for Natural Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Scopoletin (99% purity, Sigma-Aldrich, Mexico City, Mexico), tomentin (98% purity), and sphaeralcic acid (99% purity) calibration curves were performed using the HPLC system from a 1.0 mg/mL solution in high-purity methanol (Merck, Kenilworth, NJ, USA). Six serial dilutions were performed at concentrations of 1.25–20 µg/mL for Scopoletin, 0.625–20 µg/mL for tomentin, and 2.5–40 µg/mL for sphaeralcic acid. The chromatograms were analyzed at λ = 343 nm for tomentin and Scopoletin, and at λ = 357 nm for sphaeralcic acid. Each calibration curve was constructed by plotting the peak area ratio of the compound (y) versus the analyte concentrations (x). Calibration curves of tomentin, Scopoletin, and sphaeralcic acid were fitted using a linear square model (y) = m (x) + b using Microsoft Office Excel software 2010 with correlation values of ≥ 0.9995.

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.
