Ciprofloxacin 98.0%, methacrylic acid (MAA) 99%, 2-vinylpyridine (2-VP) 97%, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDGMA) 98%, and azobisisobutyrontrile (AIBN) 12% wt in acetone were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA. Acetonitrile, methanol, acetic acid, phosphoric acid, and triethylamine with HPLC grade were purchased from Merck, Darmstadt, HL, Germany. The standard stock of CIP (500 mg L−1) was prepared in methanol/acetic acid (9:1, v/v), and the working solutions were diluted from the stock solution with deionized water. The standard solutions were stored at 4 °C to be stable for one week. The phosphoric acid solution 0.05% (pH 3) was prepared by adding 3.0 mL of phosphoric acid 85% to 1000 mL of pure water and adjusting the pH to 3.0 by triethylamine.

2-Vinylpyridine
(2VP, Sigma-Aldrich, 97%)
was dried overnight over CaH2 and distilled under reduced
pressure. 2,2′-Azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN, Fluka,
98+%) was recrystallized twice from methanol, whereas copper(I) bromide
(Sigma-Aldrich, 98%) was stirred for 1 h in glacial acetic acid and
then filtered and washed with ethanol and diethyl ether before drying
under vacuum. The chain transfer agent, 2-(dodecylthiocarbonothioylthio)-2-methylpropionic
acid 3-azido-1-propanol ester (DDMAT-azide), was prepared according
to the literature procedure.37 (link) The alkyne-terminated
initiator, 4-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)benzoyl peroxide, was
prepared following a previous literature method.38 (link) Vinylidene fluoride (VDF, Synquest Laboratories, 98%),
trifluoroethylene (TrFE, Synquest Laboratories, 98%), oxalyl chloride
(Acros, 98%), 4-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)benzoic acid
(Sigma-Aldrich), lithium peroxide (Li2O2, Acros,

Acros Organics, anhydrous, ≥99.8%) were used as received. All
other solvents were analytical grade.

Colorimetric Assay for Intracellular GSH and GSSG

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GSH and GSSG intracellular contents were detected by using a colourimetric assay (ThermoFisher Scientific—Life Technologies Corp, Carlsband, CA, USA). The analyses were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions after treatments with azoles at 3 h of incubation; in brief, cell lysates were prepared in ice-cold 5% 5-sulfo-salicylic acid dehydrate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and subsequently resuspended in the supplied diluent before adding them into a 96-well microplate. After promptly adding substrate, the reaction with the free thiol group of GSH initiates, producing a highly coloured product. The relative absorbance was detected at 405 nm. Assays were performed at least in triplicate for the GSH and the GSSG content detection. To determine oxidised glutathione content, 2-vinylpyridine (2-VP) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added to block free GSH or other thiols contained in each sample; the specific concentration of the GSSG was determined by performing a 2-VP-treated samples standard curve.

Intracellular GSH and GSSG Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The intracellular contents of GSH and GSSG were detected with a colorimetric assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Life Technologies Corp, Carlsbad, CA, USA). After 3 h of incubation with azoles, the analyses were performed on cell lysates in line with the manufacturer’s instruction; in brief, cell lysates were added into a 96-well microplate (Corning Inc., New York, NY, USA), earlier prepared in an ice-cold 5% solution of 5-sulfo-salicylic acid dehydrate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and subsequently diluted in the supplied buffer. Once the specific substrate had been added, the reaction started producing a colored product whose absorbance was detected at 405 nm by the Infinite M Plex, multimode (TECAN, Salzburg, Austria, Europe). The analyses were replicated at least three times per assay. 2-vinylpyridine (2-VP) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used to block free thiols and GSH, when the content of GSSG (the oxidized form of GSH) was analyzed; the GSSG content was then determined by comparing a 2-VP standard curve.

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.
