Enzymes play an essential role in many aspects of pharmaceutical research as drug targets, drug metabolizers, enzyme drugs and more. In this specific field, enzyme assays are required to meet a number of specific requirements, such as low cost, easy automation, and high reliability. The integration of an immobilized‐enzyme reactor to capillary electrophoresis represents a unique approach to fulfilling these criteria by combining the benefits of enzyme immobilization, that is, increased stability and repeated use, as well as the minute sample consumption, short analysis time, and efficient analysis provided by capillary electrophoresis. In this review, we summarize, analyze, and discuss published works where pharmaceutically relevant enzymes were used to prepare capillary electrophoresis‐integrated immobilized‐enzyme reactors in an online manner. The presented assays are divided into three distinct groups based on the drug–enzyme relationship. The first, more extensively studied group employs enzymes that are considered to be therapeutic targets, the second group of assays present tools to assess drug metabolism and the third group assesses enzyme drugs. Furthermore, we examine various methods of enzyme immobilization and their implications for assay properties. 相似文献

Generic in‐capillary as well as offline CE‐based enzyme assays were developed for serine‐β‐lactamases and metallo‐β‐lactamases. The hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin to benzylpenicilloic acid was analyzed using 100 mM sodium phosphate solution, pH 6.0, as a background electrolyte. In‐capillary assays employed an uncoated as well as a polyethylene oxide‐coated capillary, while the offline assays employing long end and short end injection were performed in an uncoated capillary. Using procaine hydrochloride or 4‐hydroxybenzoic acid as internal standard, the respective assays were validated with regard to linearity, LOD and LOQ, repeatability, precision, and accuracy. The assays were applied to the determination of the Michaelis‐Menten parameters Km and Vmax of Bacillus cereus penicillinase as well as New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamase 1 and Verona integrin‐encoded metallo‐β‐lactamase 2. Furthermore, the inhibition of the enzymes by irreversible and competitive inhibitors was evaluated. Comparable data were obtained with all assays. The use of a simple substrate ensured broad applicability to the various types of β‐lactamases. 相似文献

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has become a flexible and accurate, high-efficiency analytical separation technique in many areas requiring only minute amounts of sample and chemicals. Thus, CE has also been recognized as a suitable technique to study enzymatic reactions including the determination of Michaelis–Menten kinetic data or the identification and characterization of inhibitors. The most often applied CE-based enzyme assay modes can be divided into two categories: (1) pre-capillary assays where incubations are performed offline followed by CE analysis of substrate(s) and/or product(s) and (2) in-capillary assays in which the enzymatic reaction and analyte separation are performed in the same capillary. In case of the in-capillary assays, the enzyme may be immobilized or in solution. The latter is also referred to as electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA), while in the case of immobilized enzyme the term immobilized enzyme reactor (IMER) is used. The present review summarizes the literature on CE-based enzyme assays published between January 2010 and April 2015. Immobilized enzyme reactors as well as microfluidic devices applied to the study of enzymatic activity will also be briefly addressed. 相似文献

In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of a new 3D printed magnet holder that enables capture of magnetic microparticles in commercially available capillary electrophoresis equipment with a liquid or air based coolant system. The design as well as the method to capture magnetic microparticles inside the capillary are discussed. This setup was tested at temperature and pH values suitable for performing enzymatic reactions. To demonstrate its applicability in CE‐ immobilized microenzyme reactors (IMER) development, human flavin‐containing monooxygenase 3 and bovine serum albumin were immobilized on amino functionalized magnetic microparticles using glutaraldehyde. These microparticles were subsequently used to perform in‐line capillary electrophoresis with clozapine as a model substrate. This setup could be used further to establish CE‐IMERs of other drug metabolic enzymes in a commercially available liquid based capillary coolant system. The CE‐IMER setup was successful, although a subsequent decrease in enzyme activity was observed on repeated runs. 相似文献

A method for creating an immobilized capillary acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reactor based on a layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly for inhibitor screening is described. The unique capillary AChE reactor was easily prepared by the instrument in three steps: first, a 0.5 cm long plug of a solution of the cationic polyelectrolyte polydiallyldimethylammonium (PDDA) was injected into the capillary to produce a positively charged coating on the surface of the capillary; subsequently, the enzyme solution with the same plug length was injected into the capillary and incubated for 10 min to immobilize the enzyme on the capillary wall via electrostatic interaction; third, PDDA solution with the same plug length was injected again into the capillary to cover the immobilized enzyme by forming PDDA-AChE-PDDA sandwich-like structure. The enzyme reactor can be easily renewed after removing the immobilized enzyme by flushing the column with 1 M NaCl solution. Activity of the immobilized enzyme can be assayed simply by carrying out an electrophoretic separation, i.e., the substrate solution was injected and incubated for a short time, followed by applying a voltage to separate the product from the unreacted substrate. The measured peak area of the product then represented the enzyme activity. For enzyme inhibitor screening, the mixture solution of the substrate and the inhibitor was injected and assayed the reduction of the enzyme activity. The immobilized enzyme could withstand 100 consecutive assays by only losing 10% activity. The reproducibility in terms of time-to-time, day-to-day, and batch-to-batch was measured with RSD% less than 4.7%. Furthermore, the screening system was validated by a known inhibitor. Finally, screening a small compound library containing four known AChE inhibitors and 42 natural extracts was demonstrated, and species with inhibition activity can be straightforwardly identified with the system. 相似文献

The goal of this paper was to develop an in-line immobilized enzyme reactor (IMER) integrated into a capillary electrophoresis platform. In our research, we created the IMER by adsorbing trypsin onto the inner surface of a capillary in a short section. Enzyme immobilization was possible due to the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged fused silica capillary surface and trypsin. The reactor was formed by simply injecting and removing trypsin solution from the capillary inlet (~1–2 cms). We investigated the factors affecting the efficiency of the reactor. The main advantages of the proposed method are the fast, cheap, and easy formation of an IMER with in-line protein digestion capability. Human tear samples were used to test the efficiency of the digestion in the microreactor. 相似文献

A simple method integrating an immobilized enzyme reactor into a microchip electrophoresis device was developed. The enzyme immobilization into a microchip was performed by spotting and drying a drop of dissolved nitrocellulose (NC) on a glass substrate, and adsorbing enzyme on the reconstituted NC membrane. This enzyme-immobilized glass plate was assembled with a polydimethylsiloxane substrate on which the separation channel was fabricated. The advantage of this method is the ability to easily change the position and size of the reactor within the microchip electrophoresis device. A beta-galactosidase reaction was demonstrated with fluorescein di-beta-D-galactopyranoside using this integrated on-column enzyme reactor. A successful electrophoretic separation of its hydrolysis products, i.e., fluorescein mono-beta-D-galactopyranoside (FMG) and fluorescein, was achieved. Enzyme kinetics and inhibition of the beta-galactosidase using FMG and 2-phenylethyl beta-D-thiogalactoside, respectively, were also studied with microchip electrophoresis. 相似文献

Heparan sulfates (HS) are a class of sulfated polysaccharides that function as dynamic biological regulators of the functions of diverse proteins. The structural basis of these interactions, however, remains elusive, and chemical synthesis of defined structures represents a challenging but powerful approach for unravelling the structure–activity relationships of their complex sulfation patterns. HS has been shown to function as an inhibitor of the β‐site cleaving enzyme β‐secretase (BACE1), a protease responsible for generating the toxic Aβ peptides that accumulate in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), with 6‐ O‐sulfation identified as a key requirement. Here, we demonstrate a novel generic synthetic approach to HS oligosaccharides applied to production of a library of 16 hexa‐ to dodecasaccharides targeted at BACE1 inhibition. Screening of this library provided new insights into structure–activity relationships for optimal BACE1 inhibition, and yielded a number of potent non‐anticoagulant BACE1 inhibitors with potential for development as leads for treatment of AD through lowering of Aβ peptide levels. 相似文献

Natural herbal medicines are an important source of enzyme inhibitors for the discovery of new drugs. A number of natural extracts such as green tea have been used in prevention and treatment of diseases due to their low‐cost, low toxicity and good performance. The present study reports an online assay of the activity and inhibition of the green tea extract of the Glucose 6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) enzyme using multilayer capillary electrophoresis based immobilized enzyme microreactors (CE‐IMERs). The multilayer CE‐IMERs were produced with layer‐by‐layer electrostatic assembly, which can easily enhance the enzyme loading capacity of the microreactor. The activity of the G6PDH enzyme was determined and the enzyme inhibition by the inhibitors from green tea extract was investigated using online assay of the multilayer CE‐IMERs. The Michaelis constant ( Km) of the enzyme, the IC 50 and K i values of the inhibitors were achieved and found to agree with those obtained using offline assays. The results show a competitive inhibition of green tea extract on the G6PDH enzyme. The present study provides an efficient and easy‐to‐operate approach for determining G6PDH enzyme reaction and the inhibition of green tea extract, which may be beneficial in research and the development of natural herbal medicines.

Enzymes immobilized on the inner surface of an electrophoretic capillary were used to increase sensitivity and resolution in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Sensitivity is enhanced by inserting a piece of capillary containing the immobilized enzyme into the main capillary, located before the detector, in order to transform the analyte into a product with a higher absorptivity. This approach was used to determine ethanol. In order to improve resolution, capillary pieces containing immobilized enzymes were inserted at various strategic positions along the electrophoretic capillary. On reaching the enzyme, the analyte was converted into a product with a high electrophoretic mobility, the migration time for which was a function of the position of the enzyme reactor. This approach was applied to the separation and determination of acetaldehyde and pyruvate. Finally, the proposed method was validated with the determination of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and pyruvate in beer and wine samples. 相似文献

A novel method for monitoring of enzyme reaction and inhibition with high temporal resolution was developed by using optically gated vacancy capillary electrophoresis (OGVCE) with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection and immobilized enzyme. Trypsin cleavage reaction and inhibition were investigated by the presented OGVCE-LIF assay, using carboxyfluorescein (FAM) end-labeled Angiotensin as the substrate and commercially available immobilized trypsin. The substrate and the product were continuously loaded into the capillary by the electroosmotic flow while the immobilized enzyme remained in the sample vial. Substrate consumption and product formation were monitored simultaneously at 5 s interval during the whole reaction time. The enzymatic reaction rates obtained from the substrate and the product were highly consistent. The enzyme activity and the Michaelis constants of trypsin cleavage reaction, as well as the inhibition constant (for reversible competitive inhibitor) and the inhibition fraction (for irreversible inhibitor), were obtained. It was showed that the reported OGVCE-LIF method can perform fast, accurate, sensitive and reproducible CE enzyme assay with high temporal resolution, thus has great potential in application of the enzyme-substrate systems with fast reaction rate and the fluorescent substrate and products. 相似文献

Tetracyclines are a group of broad spectrum antibiotics widely used in animal husbandry to prevent and treat diseases. However, the improper use of tetracyclines may result in the presence of their residues in animal tissues or waste. Recently, great attention has been drawn towards the green solvents ionic liquids. Ionic liquids have been employed as a coating material to modify the electroosmotic flow in capillary electrophoresis. In this study, a functionalized ionic liquid, mono‐6‐deoxy‐6‐(3‐methylimidazolium)‐β‐cyclodextrin tosylate, was synthesized and used for the simultaneous separation and quantification of tetracyclines by capillary electrophoresis. Good separation efficiency could be achieved due to the multiple functions of β‐cyclodextrin derived ionic liquid, including the electrostatic interaction, the hydrogen bonding, and the cavity structure in β‐cyclodextrin ionic liquid which can entrap the tetracyclines to form inclusion complex. After optimization, baseline separation achieved in 25 min with the running buffer consisted of 10 mmol/L, pH 7.2 phosphate buffer and 20 mmol/L β‐cyclodextrin ionic liquid. The satisfied result demonstrated that the β‐cyclodextrin ionic liquid is an ideal background electrolyte modifier in the separation of tetracyclines with high stability and good reproducibility. And it is an effective strategy to design and synthesize specific ILs as additive applied in separation. 相似文献

Enantiomers of Tröger's base were separated by capillary electrophoresis using 2 I‐ O‐, 3 I‐ O‐, and 6 I‐ O‐carboxymethyl‐α‐, β‐, and γ‐cyclodextrin and native α‐, β‐, and γ‐cyclodextrin as chiral additives at 0–12 mmol/L for β‐cyclodextrin and its derivatives and 0–50 mmol/L for α‐ and γ‐cyclodextrins and their derivatives in a background electrolyte composed of sodium phosphate buffer at 20 mmol/L concentration and pH 2.5. Apparent stability constants of all cyclodextrin–Tröger's base complexes were calculated based on capillary electrophoresis data. The obtained results showed that the position of the carboxymethyl group as well as the cavity size of the individual cyclodextrin significantly influences the apparent stability constants of cyclodextrin–Tröger's base complexes. 相似文献

l ‐Asparaginase (l ‐Asnase) can suppress the growth of malignant cells by rapid depletion of two essential amino acids, l ‐glutamine (l ‐Gln) and l ‐asparagine (l ‐Asn). To study the cytotoxic effect and the secondary complications of l ‐Asnase in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the development of a novel enzyme reactor of l ‐Asnase for the hydrolysis of l ‐Gln, employing the enzyme‐gold nanoparticle conjugates in capillary, was reported in this work. First, a microchip CE (MCE)‐LIF was established for the separation of l ‐amino acids (l ‐Gln and l ‐glutamic acid) and studying the hydrolysis of l ‐Gln by using l ‐Asnase enzyme reactor. Then, using l ‐Gln as target analyte, the enzyme kinetics of l ‐Asnase in free solution, enzyme‐gold nanoparticle conjugates (E‐GNP), and the enzyme‐gold nanoparticle conjugates immobilized in capillary (E‐GNP‐C) were investigated in detail with the proposed MCE‐LIF method. Moreover, for optimizing the enzymatic reaction efficiency, three important parameters, including the length of capillary, the enzyme concentration reacted with gold nanoparticle and the amount of l ‐Asnase immobilized on the gold nanoparticle, have been studied. Owing to the high specific activity, the E‐GNP‐C enzyme reactor exhibited the best performance for the hydrolysis of l ‐Gln. 相似文献

In the past decade, more than 100 different cathinone derivatives slopped over entire Europe due to their enormous popularity. Generally, these novel psychoactive substances are easily available via the internet. This fact leads to various social problems, since cathinones are substances with consciousness‐changing effects and are mainly misused for recreational matters by their consumers. Cathinones possess a chiral center including two enantiomeric forms with potentially different pharmacological behavior. This fact makes analytical method development regarding their chiral separation indispensable. In this study, a chiral capillary zone electrophoresis method for the enantioseparation of 61 cathinone and pyrovalerone derivatives was developed by means of four different β‐cyclodextrin derivatives. As chiral selectors, native β‐cyclodextrin as well as three of its derivatives namely acetyl‐β‐cyclodextrin, 2‐hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin, and carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin were used. The cathinone and pyrovalerone derivatives were either purchased in internet stores or seized by police. As a result, overall 58 of 61 studied substances were partially or baseline separated by at least one of the four chiral selectors using 10 mM of β‐cyclodextrin derivative in a 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 2.5). Furthermore, the method was found to be suitable for simultaneous enantioseparations, for enantiomeric purity checks and to differentiate between positional isomers. Moreover, an intra‐ and an interday validation was performed successfully for each chiral selector to prove the robustness of the method. 相似文献

We performed on‐plate enzyme and inhibition assays of glucose 6‐phosphate dehydrogenase using thin‐layer chromatography. The assays were accomplished based on different retardation factors of the substrates, enzyme, and products. All the necessary steps were integrated on‐plate in one developing process, including substrate/enzyme mixing, reaction starting, and quenching as well as product separation. In order to quantitatively measure the enzyme reaction, the developed plate was then densitometrically evaluated to determine the peak area of the product. Rapid and high‐throughput assays were achieved by loading different substrate spots and/or enzyme (and inhibition) spots in different tracks on the plate. The on‐plate enzyme assay could be finished in a developing time of only 4 min, with good track‐to‐track and plate‐to‐plate repeatability. Moreover, we determined the Km values of the enzyme reaction and Ki values of the inhibition (Pb 2+ Cd 2+ and Cu 2+ as inhibitors), as well as the corresponding kinetics using the on‐plate assay. Taken together, our method expanded the application of thin‐layer chromatography in enzyme assays, and it could be potentially used in research fields for rapid and quantitative measurement of enzyme activity and inhibition. 相似文献

A simple and rapid single-step method is presented to fabricate an enzyme reactor using trypsin immobilized on a macroporous polymer monolith. A reactor produced in a capillary format is ready to use within 1 h of preparation. The monomers making up the monolith, including N-acryloxysuccinimide for covalent immobilization of the enzyme, are mixed with trypsin and introduced into the column by capillary force for polymerization/immobilization. The enzyme activity from column-to-column is reproducible below 5% relative standard deviation (RSD), while the reactor is durable for at least 20 weeks when stored at room temperature. The apparent kinetic constants V(max) and K(m) are of value similar to those obtained by free trypsin in solution. Enzymatic digestion of proteins was shown to be feasible on a time-scale of seconds and submicromolar concentrations enabling peptide mass mapping by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. 相似文献

Capillary electrophoresis is a modern separation technique characterized by many benefits, which qualify it also for enzyme assays and the study of enzyme kinetics during drug development. Homogeneous or heterogeneous approaches can be followed for the enzymatic incubation. In this study, an immobilization procedure of aldehyde oxidase on magnetic particles was developed considering their integration with capillary electrophoresis. A number of magnetic nano/microparticle types were tested for this purpose, showing that aldehyde oxidase was most active when immobilized on bare silica magnetic nanoparticles. Primarily, the reusability of the enzyme immobilized on bare silica nanoparticles was tested. Three consecutive incubations with substrate could be performed, but the activity considerably dropped after the first incubation. One reason could be an enzyme detachment from the nanoparticles, but no release was detected neither at 4°C nor at 37°C during 5 h. The drop in enzymatic activity observed in consecutive incubations, could also be due to inactivation of the enzyme over time at given temperature. For the immobilized enzyme stored at 4°C, the activity decreased to 83% after 5 h, in contrast with a steep decrease at 37°C to 37%. 相似文献
