The metabolic fingerprint of in vitro grown E. multilocularis metacestodes was determined. E. multilocularis metacestodes were grown in rat hepatoma-cell pre-conditioned culture medium (cDMEM) for 72 hours at 37°C. After this incubation period, parasite-interacted media (vcDMEM, n=10) and control incubated media (ccDMEM, n=10) were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR: 1D 1H, 2D 1H-1H, and 2D 1H-13C Bruker DRX 600MHz). In addition, also vesicle fluid (VF, n=5) samples from metacestodes were analyzed after 72 hours of incubation by NMR accordingly.

400 µl of each sample were mixed with 250 µl sodium phosphate buffer (D2O:H2O, v/v, 9:1; pH=7.4; 0.01% trimethylsilylpropanoic acid (TSP); 3 mM sodium-azide), vortexed and centrifuged. 600 µl of each sample were transferred into a 5 mm diameter NMR tube. 1H NMR spectroscopy was recorded at 300 K on a Bruker DRX 600MHz NMR spectrometer (Bruker Biospin; Rheinstetten, Germany) at 600.29 MHz. Each spectrum was acquired with 2.73 sec acquisition time for 128 scans (spectral width = 20.2 ppm) with a standard pulse sequence (recycle delay-90°−t1-90°-tm-90°-acquire free induction decay (FID)). Two-dimensional (2D) 1H-1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY), 1H-1H total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY), and 1H-13C heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR were acquired from selected samples from each sample group (32 scans).
