Analysis of curcumin and calebin-A were performed by using liquid chromatography Thermo–Finnigan surveyor coupled to electrospray ionization on a triple Quad mass spectrometer (Thermo–Finnigan LCQ Advantage Max) equipped with degasser, binary pump, auto sampler, and column heater. For analysis, 4 μl of the extract was injected. The auto sampler was cooled at 10 °C. Chromatographic separation was achieved using C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5μ particle size, Thermo, BDS) with flow rate 0.3 ml/min at 25 °C. The isocratic solvent system was acetonitrile and 0.1% acetic acid in water (40:60). Electrospray ionization was performed in the negative ion mode using helium gas at a pressure of 5 psi for the nebulizer with a flow of 5 l/min and a temperature of 300 °C.

Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry for Spray Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MS experiments were carried out using a Thermo Finnigan LCQ Advantage MAX ion trap mass spectrometer (San Jose, CA, USA). The main experimental parameters were as follows: spray voltage 0 kV, capillary voltage 4.0 V, tube lens offset –50.0 V, and heated capillary temperature 250 °C. All mass spectra were acquired in positive or negative mode with 3 microscans and were recorded by instrumental software (Xcalibur version 1.4 SR1). The piezoelectric pistol was a generous gift from Prof. R. Graham Cooks and Dr Anyin Li (Purdue University). The pistol was triggered by hand and used to induce spray from the tip end of the hybrid electrode. Each trigger would cause an MS signal to last about 2 seconds. Applied voltage was controlled by a CHI 910B electrochemical workstation (CHI Instruments Inc., TA, USA).

Trichloroacetic acid was added to an aliquot of the Trichoderma growth medium (to a concentration of 5%), and then the mixture was centrifuged for 10 min at 10,000× g.
The precipitate was discarded, and metabolites were extracted from the supernatant with ethyl acetate (1:10, v:v). Then, the extract was evaporated, and the residue was dissolved in methanol and analyzed using mass spectrometry.
Mass spectra of the compounds were recorded on an LCQ Advantage MAX quadrupole mass spectrometer (Thermo Finnigan, Bremen, Germany), using a single-channel syringe pump for direct injection of the sample into the chamber for chemical ionization at atmospheric pressure. Detailed information about the structure of compounds was obtained by analyzing MS/MS spectra at the collision energy of 20–40%. Mass spectrometric analysis was carried out by Dr. Baskunov B.P.

All the essential reagents and solvents needed for the synthesis of N-acyl amides-based amphiphiles were purchased from Alfa Aesar, Sigma Aldrich, Merck, Avra chemicals, Loba, SRL and used as such without any further purification. LR grade solvents and distilled solvents were used when necessary. Thin-layer chromatography using pre-coated silica gel plates purchased from Merck was employed to monitor the reaction progress and visualized by UV detection or p-anisaldehyde stain or molecular iodine. Column chromatography was performed with silica gel (60–120 mesh) purchased from Avra chemicals. 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra for amphiphilic N-acyl amides and their precursors were recorded on a Bruker Avance 300 MHz instrument in CDCl3 at room temperature. Chemical shifts (δ) are reported in parts per million (ppm) using TMS as internal standard and coupling constants (J) are given in Hz. Proton multiplicity is assigned using the following abbreviations: singlet (s), doublet (d), triplet (t), quartet (q), and multiplet (m).

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.
