CoA esters were analyzed by HPLC using a Kinetex PFP column (5 mm, 100 A°, 250 3 4.6 mm; Phenomenex, USA) on a Shimadzu Prominence system with PDA detector (SPD-M20A). The temperature was set to 40 °C and a flow rate of 0.75 mL min− 1 was used. The injection volume was 5 μL. 100 mM ammonium acetate (eluent B) and acetonitrile (eluent A) were used as eluents. The separation started with 5% eluent A for 15 min followed by a gradient step (1 min) up to 80% eluent A, holding 80% eluent A for 1 min, an additional gradient (1 min) back to 5% eluent A and a re-equilibration with 5% eluent A for 8 min. For HPLC-electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS/MS, an Agilent 1100 HPLC system and the Kinetex PFP column (see above) connected to an LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used [30 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three potential antiviral compounds of small molecular weight (pending patent) were selected for this study and given different codes (AAHL 13, AAHL 18 and AAHL 42). The compounds were initially dissolved in methanol at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml, then diluted in 50% methanol/0.2% formic acid to a final concentration of 10 μg/ml. Diluted samples were analysed by direct infusion at a rate of 10 μl/min into the electrospray ionisation source of an LCQ ion-trap mass spectrometer (Thermo, San Jose, CA, USA). Spectra were acquired and averaged over 50 consecutive scans. Full scans were acquired over the mass range m/z 50–500 to give an indication of sample purity. High resolution zoom scans were also performed that allowed determination of the mass/charge state of the selected ion and hence an accurate mass measurement of the selected ion.

All reactions were performed under N2 unless otherwise noted. All 1H NMR and 13C NMR were recorded at 500 and 125 MHz, respectively, on a Bruker DRX 500. Chemical shifts were referred to TMS as internal standard in the case of CDCl3 solution and to the residual proton signal of DMSO at 2.5 ppm in the case of DMSO-d6 solution. The following abbreviations were used in reporting spectra: s=singlet, d=doublet, t=triplet, m=multiplet. Mass spectra were recorded on a Thermo Fisher LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained using a Bruker Apex ion cyclotran resonance mass spectrometer in ESI positive mode. Unless otherwise mentioned, all of the solvents used were of laboratory reagent grade. Usually, the flash chromatography was performed using 100–200 mesh silica gel. All of the organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate after work up. For analytical reversed-phase HPLC a Vydac 218-TP54 column (5 _ 250 mm) was used with a l gradient of 10–90% acetonitrile in 0.1% TFA/H2O over 40 min at a flow rate of 1 mL/min.

Quantitations were done by connecting the same column with the same elution program to a SpectraSystem equipped with an AS3000 autosampler and a P4000 quaternary pump. The system was controlled with the Xcalibur software version 1.2 (ThermoFisher). Compounds were monitored from 200 to 800 nm with a UV6000LP diode array detector. Mass spectra were acquired with an LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer equipped with an ESI source (ThermoFisher). Collision-induced dissociation spectra were recorded at a relative collision energy of 30, 35, and 40%, respectively, for singly charged [M−H]−1 ions of monomers (m/z 289), dimers (m/z 577, 575), and trimers (m/z 865, 863, 861). The ESI inlet conditions were as follows: source voltage, 4.9 kV; capillary voltage, –4 V; capillary temperature, 200 °C; sheath gas, 39 psi. Semi-quantitations were done with the calibration curves of C1 for all C1-derived compounds except catechin, epicatechin, and B2, for which their own respective calibration curves were used.

MS and MS/MS characterization and detection of the tryptic peptides derived from Radix Trichosanthis was performed using an LCQ ion-trap mass spectrometer (Thermo Inc., San Jose, California, USA) by means of electrospray ionization (ESI). A gradient elution of solvents A (water containing 0.1% FA) and B (acetonitrile with 2% water and 0.1% FA) was applied with a flow rate of 200 μl/min as follows: 0-5 min, 0% solvent B; 5-80 min, 0%-50% solvent B; 80-105 min, 50%-100% solvent B; and 105-120 min, 100% B. The nitrogen sheath and auxiliary gas flow were maintained at 20 and 5 arbitrary units, respectively. The heated capillary temperature was 300 ºC and the spray voltage was set to 5 kV in positive ion mode. The three ions with the highest intensity were subjected to MS/MS fragmentation under a normalized collision energy (NCE) of 30 and the resulting fragment ion profiles were then trawled using the Protein Discoverer 1.0 (Thermo Finnigan; San Jose, California, USA) against a customized FASTA database. Only peptides with sufficient confidence (i.e., probability > 40) were retained.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The malate concentration in the leaves of 4-week-old plants grown in soil under a 12-h light/12-h dark cycle was determined as follows. The unfolded leaves were taken at each specified time point, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at À80 C until analysis. Each sample was extracted by rapidly grinding it in liquid nitrogen and then adding distilled water. The malate concentration in the extract was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (using a 4000 QTRAP instrument; AB Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA). The liquid chromatography system was equipped with an Aminex HPX-87H column (300 mm long, 7.8 mm internal diameter, 9 mm particle size; Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) connected to an LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The mobile phase was 1% formic acid in water, and an analytical run lasted 26 min, with a mobile phase flow rate of 400 ml min À1 . The target compounds were analyzed using appropriate multiple reactions for monitoring ion pairs.

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.
