Published: May 2007

This protocol details an RNA preparation for medium-scale, high-purity RNA production from higher plants. It uses hot acid phenol with standard sodium acetate ethanol precipitation and is suitable for producing RNA for both Northern blotting and enzyme-based downstream applications such as RT-PCR and microarray studies.

Development and validation of a UV-Vis spectrophotometric method for estimation of total content of chalcone.

MethodsX

June 2025

Observatory of Drug-Herb Interactions, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Coimbra, Health Science Campus, Azinhaga Santa Comba, Coimbra, Portugal.

In this study, a straightforward spectrophotometric method was developed for quantifying the total content of chalcones in a sample. The method exhibits linearity, accuracy, precision, repeatability, and enables the estimation of total chalcone content in trans-chalcone equivalents for a sample diluted in carbon tetrachloride and added to antimony pentachloride. The analytical wavelength was determined to be 390 nm.

Introduction: The mortality rate for liver cancer is extremely high but clinical treatments have not made much progress, so it is necessary to develop anticancer agents with lower toxicities and more effective liver-targeting drug delivery systems (LTDDSs). At present, LTDDSs mediated by the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) show excellent effects at improving the liver-targeting and antitumor effects of drugs. However, the galactosyl ligands are typically prepared by chemical synthesis and have some shortcomings.
