The antithrombin activity of glucuronic esters of bilirubin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The plasma of patients with pronounced jaundice as well as that of cats with experimental obstructive jaundice inhibits the clotting of normal plasma with thrombin. The influence of different bile constituents-bilirubin, bilirubin glucuronides, sodium salts of bile acid-on the clotting of plasma or fibrinogen with thrombin was examined. Bilirubin glucuronides in concentrations above 8 mg.% showed antithrombic activity but other substances were inactive. Glucuronic acid and phenolphthalein glucuronide in concentrations up to 100 mg.% did not have any influence on the thrombin time.

The isolation and characterization of bilirubin diglucuronide, the major bilirubin conjugate in dog and human bile.
The chemical structure of the major conjugate of bilirubin was unequivocally elucidated by structural analysis. The conjugated bilirubins were first separated from the lipid components of human duodenal aspirates or dog gall-bladder bile, and then resolved by t.l.c. into a series of tetrapyrroles. The major tetrapyrrole was then converted into its more stable dipyrrolic azo derivative for furth...
متن کاملStructure revision of disaccharidic conjugates of bilirubin-IX alpha in human bile and identification of phenylazo derivatives B4, B5, and B6 as 2-, 3- and 4-O-acylglucuronides.
Aniline azopigments B4, B5 and B6, derived from conjugates of bilirubin-IX alpha in human bile, and previously characterized as disaccharidic esters [Kuenzle (1970) Biochem. J. 119, 387-394 and 411-435], were analysed by using t.l.c. and mass spectrometry. The compounds were identified as partially separated mixtures of 2-, 3- and 4-O-acylglucuronide positional isomers. The 1-O-acylglucuronide ...

1. It was confirmed that bilirubin glucuronyltransferase can be obtained in solubilized form from rat liver microsomes. 2. Michaelis-Menten kinetics were not followed by the enzyme with bilirubin as substrate when the bilirubin/albumin ratio was varied. High concentrations of bilirubin were inhibitory. 3. The K(m) for UDP-glucuronic acid at the optimum bilirubin concentration was 0.46mm. 4. Low...

1. Bilirubin glucuronide was synthesized in vitro in a system containing a rat liver microsomal fraction, UDP-glucuronic acid, Mg2+ and bilirubin. The enzymic synthesis was accomplished without the addition of a bilirubin carrier. 2. Azobilirubin and azobilirubin glucuronide were separated by t.l.c. and paper chromatography and the measurement of the conjugate provided a specific asay for bilir...
متن کاملAssay and properties of dititonin-activated bilirubin uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase from rat liver.
1. The bilirubin UDP-glucuronyltransferase assay described by Van Roy & Heirwegh (1968) has been improved. 2. Extraction of final azo-derivatives is rendered more simple and efficient by thorough emulsification and by cooling. 3. Pretreatment of homogenates and cell fractions with digitonin increases the sensitivity of the assays and gives less variable results than those with untreated prepara...
