Deuterated DMSO and methanol were purchased from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (Tewksbury, MA, USA). UGT Reaction Mix - Solution B, pooled human liver microsomes and recombinant human UGTs 1A1, 1A3, 1A4, 1A6, 1A8–10, 2B4, 2B7, 2B15 and 2B17 were purchased from BD Gentest (Woburn, MA, USA). High-performance liquid chromatography-grade solvents and analytical-grade reagents were used in all experiments.

EPR Characterization of Mn(III,IV)salpn-Methanol Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mn(III,IV)salpn + methanol samples were prepared by methods described previously using 13C-methanol (99%, Cambridge Isotope Laboratories) or natural-abundance methanol (Fisher). The final concentration of Mn(III,IV)salpn in all samples was 2 mM, while the concentration of methanol was ≥1 M. After preparation, samples were placed in 3.8 mm O.D. precision quartz EPR tubes for X-band EPR experiments, and 2.4 mm O.D. tubes for Q-band experiments. Successful complexation by methanol was judged on the basis of the appearance of the 12-line CW EPR spectrum that is diagnostic of the solvent-bound asymmetric form.1

Negative ion mode MS analysis of polar metabolites. LC–MS samples were prepared from plasma (30 μl) via protein precipitation with the addition of four volumes (120 μl) of 80% methanol containing inosine‐15N4, thymine‐d4, and glycocholate‐d4 internal standards (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories). The samples were centrifuged (10 min, 9000 g, 4°C), and the supernatants were injected directly onto a 150 × 2.0 mm Luna NH2 column (Phenomenex). The column was eluted at a flow rate of 400 μl/min with initial conditions of 10% mobile phase A (20 mM ammonium acetate and 20 mM ammonium hydroxide in water) and 90% mobile phase B (10 mM ammonium hydroxide in 75:25 v/v acetonitrile/methanol) followed by a 10 min linear gradient to 100% mobile phase A. The column temperature was kept at 40°C. MS analyses were carried out using electrospray ionization in the negative ion mode using full scan analysis over m/z 70–750 at 70,000 resolution and 3 Hz data acquisition rate. Additional MS settings are as follows: ion spray voltage, −3.0 kV; capillary temperature, 350°C; probe heater temperature, 325°C; sheath gas, 55; auxiliary gas, 10; and S‐lens RF level 50.

Plasma Metabolite Extraction Protocol

Mice were culled immediately by cervical dislocation. Blood was taken via cardiac puncture, collected into a microtainer tube lined with lithium heparin (Fisher Scientific), and centrifuged (10 min, maximum speed, 4°C). Plasma was subsequently snap frozen. Metabolites were extracted from plasma by adding extraction buffer, consisting of 80% methanol containing inosine-15N4, thymine-d4, and glycocholate-d4 internal standards (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories) in a 1:4 ratio of plasma to extraction buffer. Samples were then centrifuged twice (5 min, maximum speed, 4°C), and supernatants were collected.

Quantification of Acrylamide using Stable Isotope

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Native AA of concentration 1004 µg/mL in methanol (99% purity) was purchased from Restek (Benner Circle, Bellefonte, U.S.) and labelled acrylamide (1,2,3-13 C labelled AA) (99% purity) of concentration 1000 µg/mL in methanol (+100 ppm hydroquinone) used as internal standard (IS) was acquired from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (Andover, MA, USA). All solvents and reagents were of analytical grade, special for chromatography and were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany), LGC Promochem GmbH (Wesel, Germany), Alfa Aesar (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). Ultrapure water was obtained through a PURELAB Option-S7 and PURELAB Ultra Ionic system (Elga Labwater, High Wycombe, UK).
To assess the quality control, a certified reference material "acrylamide in rusk" (ERM ® -BD274, BAM, Berlin, Germany) with the certified value of 74 μg/kg was used.

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.
