All reagents and solvents were obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. High purity water used in the synthetic procedures and HPLC experiments was obtained from a Milli-Q water purification system (Millipore GmbH, Vienna, Austria). Microwave-assisted experiments were carried out in a Biotage® Initiator + (Biotage AB, Uppsala, Sweden) single-mode microwave instrument producing controlled irradiation at 2.45 GHz in Pyrex microwave reaction vials. The vials were equipped with magnetic stirring bars and magnetic stirring at a rate of 720 rpm was used throughout the experiments. Reaction times refer to hold times at the temperatures indicated, not to total irradiation times. The temperature was measured with an IR sensor on the outside of the reaction vessel. HPLC analyses were performed on Agilent 1200 series, equipped with Agilent Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C18 (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 µm) column at 25 °C, a flow rate of 1.0 ml min -1 and UV-Vis detection. Mobile phase consisted of 0.1% Bu 4 NCl in water/MeOH mixtures; stepwise gradient elution (e.g., 35% MeOH for 14 min, followed by 60% MeOH for 4 min) was used. High resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The microwave-assisted conversion of chitin to 5-HMF was carried out using microwave reaction vials. In a typical experimental run, 25 mg of chitin, 5 mL of solvent (H2O : DMSO = 1 : 4) and 100 mg catalysts were putted into a 10 mL reactor. After being sealed with a cap, the reactor containing the mixture was mounted in a microwave reactor apparatus (Biotage Initiator+) and heated at a specified reaction time under magnetic stirring. Time zero of the reaction was defined as the time when the reactor reached its set point temperature. Reactions were performed in triplicate to assess the reproducibility of results. The liquids and solid residues were separated by filtration. The liquid sample was collected after reaction and the concentration of the product species were quantified using Agilent Technologies HPLC with a ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 as the analytical column and both RID (refractive index) and VWD (UV-Vis) detectors. The HPLC was operated under the following conditions: oven temperature as 35 °C, mobile phase as 5 mM H2SO4; flow rate of 0.6 mL min−1; injection volume of 5 μL. The concentrations of NAG, LA, FA, AA and 5-HMF were quantified through the external standard method and calibration curves of commercially available standard substrates.

Peptide Synthesis Using Initiator+ and SPPS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Initiator+ (Biotage) was used to synthesize the peptides along with dimethylformamide (DMF), 0.5 M N, N′-Diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), 0.5 M Oxyma, and 5.0 equivalents of amino acids. Fmoc-protected amino acids were purchased from ChemImpex and ChemPep, while the other reagents and solvents were purchased from VWR. The SPE tube containing the Rink amide resin or the TentaGel-S-NH2 with the ANP linker already coupled was placed in the reactor chamber, where all reactions occurred. The resin was swelled in DMF at 70°C for 20 minutes while mixing. Fmoc deprotection was performed using 20% piperidine in dimethyl formamide (DMF) at room temperature for 3 minutes, and amino acid coupling for most amino acids took place at 75°C for 5 minutes. In contrast, the Fmoc-Cys(Mmt)-OH amino acid coupling took place at 50°C for 5 minutes. Peptides were also synthesized manually following the Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) Fmoc-based standard protocol. Resins (Rink amide or TentaGel-S-NH2) were swelled overnight at room temperature, followed by Fmoc deprotection using 20% piperidine in N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) 3× 10 minutes. Amino acid coupling was done using three equivalents of amino acid in NMP for 3–4 hours, while ANP (2 eq) linker was coupled overnight.

Preparative HPLC Purification of Glucuronides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The reactions were accomplished in dried glassware and round-bottomed flasks under an argon atmosphere using commercial reagents, distilled solvents, and anhydrous solvents unless otherwise noted. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-grade solvents were purchased from Fisher Scientific. Chemicals and solvents were of reagent grade and obtained from commercial sources without further purification. The reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on aluminum-backed precoated silica gel 60 F254 plates (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), and compounds were detected using a UV lamp (254 nm). Column chromatographic purification was performed using 230–400 mesh silica gel, unless otherwise noted. Microwave reactions were carried out in a Biotage microwave reaction kit (sealed vials) in an Initiator (Biotage). The wattage was automatically determined to maintain the desired temperature for the desired period time. Preparative HPLC was performed as described in de Fatima et al.38 (link) The column was eluted with an isocratic mixture of acetonitrile and water with formic acid (0.1%) (25:75, v/v), and the flow rate was set at 9 mL/min. The crude glucuronides were loaded in 60% (v/v) MeOH. Solubility of these compounds in 60% MeOH is poor and this limited the load amount, but this solvent gave the best compromise between solubility and solvent polarity.

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.
