Attempts to obtain experimental values for the kinetic parameters of phenanthridine oxidation by guinea pig or rabbit liver aldehyde oxidase using common spectrophotometric methods have not been successful due to a lower limit of detection. In the present study, a new spectrofluorimetric assay in combination with a multivariate calibration method for enzymatic kinetic study of aldehyde oxidase ...

Reactions between the tripodal hydroxytriamine, 2,2-bis(aminomethyl)-3-aminopropan-1-ol, "hytame", and the isomeric pyridine aldehydes generate in all cases the tris(aminal) species based on a 1,3,5-triaza-adamantane skeleton. In all cases also, the product from water under basic conditions consists of an approximately 1:9 mixture of the triequatorial and monoaxial-diequatorial isomers. While a...

In rats, it has been reported that rofecoxib, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, reacts with the aldehyde group of allysine in elastin to give a condensation covalent adduct, thereby preventing the formation of cross-linkages in the elastin and causing degradation of the elastic fibers in aortas in vivo. Acid, organic solvent, and proteolytic enzyme treatments of human aortic homogenate afte...

Catalytic activity of AlHMS was investigated as a cheap heterogeneous reusable catalyst in some multi-component reactions for the synthesis of various chromenes. Three-component reaction of 2-hydroxy-naphtoquinone with an aromatic aldehyde and dimedone or barbituric acid in H2O under reflux conditions was performed using AlHMS in relatively good yields. The approach was more extended using psue...

A lag phase in the spectrophotometric assay progress curve of aldehyde oxidation by HL-ADH was observed and characterised. The aldehyde oxidation and aldehyde dismutation reactions were shown to be related, and a mechanism to explain net aldehyde oxidation was proposed. The spectrophotometric assay was shown to be unsuitable for measurement of kinetic parameters for aldehyde oxidation by HL-ADH...
