Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
High-performance liquid chromatography was used to investigate NDP (HPLC; model Jasco PU-2089 equipped with detector model Jasco UV-2070 plus multi-wavelength UV–vis, Jasco, Tokyo, Japan). According to a prior publication, the separation and analytical method were used [23 (link)]. A C18 column was used (5 µm, 4.6 mm × 250 mm) ACE® column. The detector wavelength was 235 nm. To illustrate NDP, an isocratic flow (1 mL/min) condition was used. A mobile phase containing methanol–acetonitrile–water (25:25:50 v/v) was filtered via a 0.45 μm nylon membrane filter and degassed in a sonicator bath before use. A 20 μL of sample was injected. NDP peak was computed using ChromNav software (Jasco, Tokyo, Japan). These analyses were performed in triplicate.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Electronic circular dichroism and optical rotation analyses were made using a Shimadzu HPLC chromatograph coupled to a JASCO CD-2095plus CD detector and a PDR advanced laser polarimeter detector, and data were acquired using JASCO ChromNAV software version 2.01.05. Chiroptical measurements were obtained through a chromatographic analysis using a Phenomenex Lux Cellulose-1 column (150 mm x 4.5 mm, 5 µm) with a mobile phase composed of n-hexane/isopropanol 9:1 at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. Optical rotation response was measured at 670 nm, while UV and ECD spectra were measured between 220 and 420 nm by stop-flow while each compound was in the CD detector cell. Although this HPLC-CD-OR measurement methodology was not used for the quantitative analyses of the pure isolated flavanones, a validation procedure was performed using pure racemic flavanone and obtaining consistent results with those described in a previous work (Muñoz et al., 2013 (link)).

The melittin content of the 5 apitoxin samples was determined according the method developed by Rybak-Chmielewska and Szczêsna [26 ] with some modifications. A melittin standard with 96.5% purity was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Germany). Briefly, 5 mg of apitoxin was mixed with 5 mL of ultrapure water and sonicated for 5 min, and the liquid was filtered through a 0.45 μm polytetrafluoroethylene syringe filter and collected in an amber glass vial. A volume of 5 µL of 85% phosphoric acid was added to the vial. The samples were analyzed by HPLC in a Jasco LC-Net II/ADC (Jasco, Spain) coupled with a UV-2070 detector (Jasco). A Machery-Nagel C-18 column with a length of 250 mm, internal diameter of 4 mm, and particle size of 5 µm was used. Gradient chromatography was performed by the linear method with 5–80% of eluent (acetonitrile in 20% phosphoric acid) for 45 min with flow velocity of the moving phase at 1 mL·min−1. Melittin was identified at 220 nm wavelength. The data were collected through the use of Chrom NAV software (Jasco).

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.
