Preparative HPLC purification was performed using Waters X-Select CSH C18, 5 μm, 9X50 mm column, using 0.1% formic acid and 0.1% aqueous formic acid in gradient MeCN. Fractions were collected after UV detection at a single wavelength measured by a variable wavelength detector on Gilson 215 or varianpstar preparative HPLC, or after mass ion and UV detection by electrospray with positive and negative ions and dual wavelength detection on Waters fraction lynx LCMS at a single wavelength measured by a ZQ single quadrupole mass spectrometer.
