Have you tried HFIP?

If its from a commercial source, try contacting their support team to get more info as to how they got the lyophilized powder

Sarfuddin Azmi

Dear Mona,

Have you used methanol:Chloroform in ration of 3:1, May be it will work

best

Mona Mohsen

thanks guys ... I will try HFIP and methanol:chloroform .... I hope they work out.
