Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fatty acid compositions (oils) of the samples were determined by Gas Chromatography-Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry (GC/IT-MS), Thermo Scientific ITQ 900. Briefly, the FAME was analyzed by injecting 1 μL (30 : 1 split ratio) into GC-MS. The fatty acids were identified and quantified using a GC (Trace GC Ultra, Thermo Scientific) equipped with a capillary column (TR-FAME, 30 m × 0.25 mm, 0.25 μm film thickness) and an MS (ITQ 900, Thermo Scientific) attached to it. For separation of fatty acids, the oven temperature program was set as follows: 1 min initial hold at 50°C, temperature raised from 50 to 150°C at the rate of 20°C per min followed by a hold of 15 min at 150°C, temperature raised from 150 to 240°C at the rate of 20°C per min, and a final hold of 2 min at 240°C. Helium was used as a carrier gas with column flow rate of 1.0 mL per min. The transfer line and ion source temperatures were 250 and 220°C, respectively. The MS conditions were as follows: ionization voltage: 70 eV, range of 40–500 m/z, and the scan time equal to the GC run time. The individual constituents showed by GC were identified and quantified by comparing the retention times and peak areas to those of standards (ME-14-KT and ME-19-KT, SUPELCO Analytical) and by using the NIST Library (version 2.0, 2008).

The kinetics constants of P450 119 and its mutants were determined with thioanisole 1 and sulfoxide 2 as substrate. The reaction mixture consisted of 0.5 μM CYP119 mutant, variable concentrations of substrate and TBHP (10‐fold concentration of substrate). Phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) was added to the final volume at 100 μL. The reaction mixtures were incubated at 35 °C for 15 second (for the substrate thioanisole) or 30 second (for the substrate phenyl methyl sulfoxide) in a closed glass vials and stopped by addition of CH2Cl2 (100 μL). The products were analyzed by gas chromatography (Thermo Scientific ITQ900) on a DB‐1MS column (30 m ×0.25 mm inner diameter). The purified sulfoxide 2 and sulfone 3 were used as authentic standards to identify the retention time and to prepare calibration curve. The retention times found with this condition were ca. 11.2 min for sulfoxide and ca. 4.5 min for sulfone. The initial rates of formation of sulfoxide and sulfone were estimated at various concentrations of the substrate and analyzed by double‐reciprocal plot method to evaluate the kinetic parameters Km and kcat.

The herbal extract was dissolved in methanol (MeOH), then purified by solid-phase extraction using the QuEChERS method. For further analysis, GC (Thermo Trace GC Ultra, USA) and ITQ900 (Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA) were conducted. A TG-SQC capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm) was utilized for the GCMS analysis.

The temperature of the injector and the ion source were set at 250 and 230 °C, respectively. The temperature program of the oven was set at 70 °C (isothermal for 2 min) and increased up to 280 °C with an increasing speed of 15 °C/min, ending with a 10 min isothermal at 280 °C. MS data were at 70 eV, a scanning interval time of 0.5 s, and for fragments from 50 to 650 Da. The compounds were identified via comparison with reported compounds using compounds data of the Mass Spectra Library (NIST 17.L and Wiley).

The intermediate products in the HDH of HACs were determined by GC/MS (Thermo Scientific ITQ 900) with a column of TR-5MS (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm). The composition of the reaction/product mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography (Agilent 7890A), employing a flame ionization detector (FID) and a column of DB-1701 (30 m × 0.32 mm × 0.25 μm). Prior to analysis, the basic solution samples were neutralized with dilute CH3COOH (ca. 0.2 mol L−1). The detection limit of GC analysis for HACs was 1 pg mL−1. Taking 4-chlorophenol as a representative reactant, the conversion is defined as:

Gas chromatographic
analysis was performed in a Trace GC ULTRA gas chromatograph coupled
to an ion trap mass spectrometer detector ITQ900 (Thermo Fisher Scientific),
using a Factor Four capillary column VF-5MS 30 m × 0.25 mm ID,
with 0.25 μm of film thickness (Agilent Technologies, Tokyo,

This temperature was maintained during 10 min. A constant flow rate
of 1 mL min–1 of helium as carrier gas was introduced
into the system. Moreover, ionization was performed by electronic
impact (EI) using 70 eV as voltage. The filament was off in the first
6 min of the chromatogram to avoid the signal of a large band from
the solvent and other nonseparated peaks. Finally, full scan mode
in the m/z range 35–650 was
monitored and 1 μL of gut sample was injected in splitless mode.
