The determination of PA concentrations after incubation with microsomes or supersomes was performed by LC-MS/MS as described earlier by Kaltner et al. (2019) and Enge et al. (2021) [16 (link),57 (link)]. Briefly, a 50 × 2.1 mm Kinetex 2.6 μm Core-Shell EVO C18 100 Å column (Phenomenex, Aschaffenburg, Germany) protected by a SecurityGuard ULTRA EVO C18 2.1 mm guard column (Phenomenex, Aschaffenburg, Germany) was used for chromatographic separation on a Shimadzu Prominence HPLC device (LC-20AB, SIL-20AC HT, CTO-20AC, CBM-20A, Shimadzu, Duisburg, Germany). Column oven temperature was maintained at 30 °C, the flow rate was consistently hold at 0.4 mL/min and the injection volume was 10 µL. The HPLC system was coupled to an API4000 triple quadrupole MS (Sciex, Darmstadt, Germany) which was operated in positive electro spray ionisation (ESI) mode with the following parameters: ionisation voltage: 2500 V; nebuliser gas: 50 psi; heating gas: 50 psi; curtain gas: 30 psi; temperature: 600 °C; collision gas: level 7. The selected PA analytes were determined in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode and quantified by external calibration standards ranging from 10 to 125 nmol/mL in DMEM. The PA content was always normalized to the content at t = 0 h.

We used an AB Sciex 6500 Qtrap tandem mass spectrometer (Redwood City, CA, USA) coupled with a Shimadzu LC-30AD quaternary pump (Tokyo, Japan), SIL-30AC autosampler, and CTO-20AC column oven. All the reagents were HPLC or analytical grade. The standards of DON, 3-ADON, 15-ADON, AME, AOH, and TeA were purchased from Romer labs (Union City, MO, USA).
The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) was 1.0 µg/kg and 3.0 µg/kg, respectively, for DON, 3-ADON, 15-ADON and TeA, whereas 0.3 µg/kg and 1.0 µg/kg, respectively, for AOH and AME.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Shimadzu HPLC system (Kyoto, Japan) consisted of an online degasser (DGU-20A), two pumps (LC-30 AD), an autosampler (SIL-30AC), a controller (CBM-20A), and a column oven (CTO-20AC). The chromatographic separation was performed on a Synergi™ hydro-RP C18 column (75 × 2.0 mm, 4 μm) with column temperature maintained at 30°C. An optimized gradient of mobile phase A: 5 mM ammonium formate (pH 6.5) and mobile phase B: 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile was used to elute silmitasertib and ISTD. The flow rate was set at 0.4 ml/min. Two types of gradient elution were employed in this assay. For analyzing human plasma and CSF samples, the gradient elution started with 50% mobile phase B, gradually increased to 80% B in 1.2 min, maintained constant for 3 mins, and then decreased to 50% in 0.3 min, followed by column equilibrium for 1.5 min. For the analysis of brain tissue homogenate, the gradient stated with 30% mobile phase B, reached 80% B in 1.2 min and held this composition for 3 mins, and then return to the initial condition in 0.3 min and held it for 1.5 min. The total analysis time for a single sample was 6 min for both gradients.

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.
