2-Carboxy-1-naphthyl phosphate as a substrate for the fluorimetric determination of alkaline phosphatase

A new substrate, 2-carboxy-1-naphthyl phosphate (CNP), was developed for the fluorimetric determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. The product of the enzyme reaction is 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (HNA), which is a strong fluorescent product. The amount of HNA generated is proportional to ALP activity. Optimal conditions for the determination of ALP were investigated. The linear range and detection limit for the determination of ALP are 0.01-4.8 U/L and 7.44 mU/L, respectively. This method is simple, practical and can be successfully applied to assess ALP in human serum with good accuracy and precision. The results were evaluated by comparison with a standard colorimetric assay using p-nitrophenyl phosphate as ALP substrate.

Determination of alkaline phosphatase activity in human sera by mid-FTIR spectroscopy

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is applied to the determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in human sera. 4-nitrophenylphosphate was found to be an excellent ALP substrate for FT-IR spectroscopic detection. The developed method is based on the acquisition of two FT-IR spectra: one recorded immediately after mixing the sample and assay solution and the other after an incubation time of 10 min. Spectral changes in the mid IR range due to the enzymatic reaction could be correlated to the ALP activity in the sample. Experimental conditions were established such that the clinically relevant range for determination of ALP activity in human sera (50 to 900 U/L) was covered. The method was applied to the analysis of ALP activities in standard solutions as well as in human sera yielding results which agreed well with those obtained by a standard reference method.

A multiwalled carbon nanotube/chitosan modified glassy carbon electrode (MWCNTs‐CHT/GCE) has been used for simultaneous determination of paracetamol (PAR) and uric acid (UA). The measurements were carried out using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA).

A New Sensor for Simultaneous Determination of Tyrosine and Dopamine Using Iron(III) Doped Zeolite Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

A new chemically modified electrode is constructed based on iron(III) doped zeolite modified carbon paste electrode (Fe³⁺Y/ZMCPE). The new sensor could be used for the simultaneous determination of the biologically important compounds dopamine (DA) and tyrosine (Tyr). The measurements are carried out using differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) method. The prepared modified electrode shows voltammetric responses of high sensitivity, selectivity and stability for DA and Tyr under optimal conditions, which makes it a suitable sensor for simultaneous trace detection of DA and Tyr in solution. Application of the DPV method demonstrates that in the Briton Robinson buffer solutions (pH=5) containing 50 µmol/L Tyr, there is a linear relationship between the oxidation peaks and the concentrations of DA over the range of 0.1–200 µmol/L, with a detection limit of 0.05 µmol/L (S/N=3). For Tyr a linear correlation between oxidation peak current and concentration of Tyr over the range of 0.5–200 µmol/L (containing 50 µmol/L DA), with a detection limit of 0.08 µmol/L is obtained. The analytical performances of this sensor are evaluated for the detection of DA and Tyr in human serum and a medicine.     

Indirect Determination of Trace Copper(II) by Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetry with Zincon at a Carbon Paste Electrode

Traces of copper(II) can be determined by adsorptive stripping voltammetry using 2‐carboxy‐2′‐hydroxy‐5′‐sulfoformazyl benzene (Zincon) as complex forming reagent. First in phosphate buffer pH 6.4, copper(II)‐Zincon complex was adsorbed on carbon paste electrode (CPE) with an accumulation potential of 0.6 V. Following this, adsorbed complex was oxidized and detected by differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) scan from 0.6 to 1.0 V. The effective parameters in sensor response were examined. The detection limit (DL) of copper(II) was 1.1 μg/L and relative standard deviations (RSDs) for 10 and 200 μg/L Cu(II) were 1.81 and 1.03%, respectively. The calibration curve was linear for 2–220 μg/L copper(II). The resulting CPE does not use mercury and therefore, has a positive environmental benefit. The method, which is reasonably sensitive and selective, has been successfully applied to the determination of trace amount of copper in water and human hair samples.

Measurement of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes in individual mouse bone marrow fibroblast cells based on capillary electrophoresis with on-capillary enzyme-catalyzed reaction and electrochemical detection

A novel method for the determination of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes in individual fibroblast cells of mouse bone marrow was developed by combining capillary electrophoresis with an on-capillary enzyme-catalyzed reaction and electrochemical detection. In this method, a single an cell, followed by 5.0 x 10(-2) mol/L Na2B4O7- 3.0 x 10(-2) mol/L NaCl (pH 9.8) as cell lysis solution, was injected into the inlet of the separation capillary by electromigration. The cell was lysed by applying a voltage of 2 kV. The ALP isoenzymes in the cell were preseparated at 20 kV for 1 min, and then allowed to react for 30 min with disodium phenyl phosphate as enzyme substrate in the running buffer. ALP converted disodium phenyl phosphate into its product, phenol, at a relatively high reaction rate without consumption, with resultant amplification of the signal on prolonged reaction time, producing an adequate amount of product for final detection. A mass detection limit as low as 3.5 x 10(-21) mol/L (corresponding to 1.5 nU) was achieved. Finally, the two zones of products generated by ALP isoenzymes were detected at the outlet of the capillary by using the end-capillary amperometric detection at a carbon fiber microdisk bundle electrode with a constant potential.     

Electroanalysis and simultaneous determination of 6-thioguanine in the presence of uric acid and folic acid using a modified carbon nanotube paste electrode

The present work describes the preparation and characterization of a carbon nanotube paste electrode modified with 2,7-bis(ferrocenyl ethyl)fluoren-9-one (2,7-BF). This electrode showed an efficient catalytic activity for the electro-oxidation of 6-thioguanine (6-TG), which leads to lowering 6-TG overpotential by more than 610 mV. Also, the values of catalytic rate constant (k = 2.7 × 10(3) mol(-1) L s(-1)), and diffusion coefficient (D = 2.7 × 10(-5) cm(2) s) were calculated. In 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.0, the oxidation current increased linearly with two concentration intervals of 6-TG, one is 0.06 to 10.0 μmol L(-1) and the other is 10.0 to 160.0 μmol L(-1). The detection limit (3σ) obtained by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was 22.0 nmol L(-1). DPV was used for simultaneous determination of 6-TG, uric acid (UA) and folic acid (FA) at the modified electrode, and for quantification of 6-TG, UA and FA in some real samples by the standard addition method.     

Dual-readout test strips platform for portable and highly sensitive detection of alkaline phosphatase in human serum samples

In this work, a very simple dual-readout lateral flow test strip (LFTS) platform was developed for sensitive detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) based on a portable device. In this assay, quantum dots (QDs) conjugated with bovine serum albumin (QDs-BSA) were chosen as fluorescence signal labels. In the absence of ALP, MnO₂ nanosheets aggregate on the test line and exhibit an obvious brown color, which can be observed by naked eyes to realize semi-qualitative analysis. Meanwhile, fluorescence intensity of QDs-BSA can also be effectively quenched by MnO₂ nanosheets due to inner-filter effect. Correspondingly, in the presence of ALP, ALP can catalyze the hydrolysis of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) to generate L-ascorbic acid (AA), which can reduce MnO₂ into Mn²⁺, accompanying with the obvious fluorescence recovery of the QDs. By simply monitoring the change of colorimetric and fluorescent signal on the test line, trace amount of ALP can be quantitatively detected. Under the optimal conditions, measurable evaluation of ALP was reached in a linear range from 1 U/L to 20 U/L with a detection limit of 0.7 U/L based on fluorescence signal. Furthermore, this colorimetric/fluorescent dual-readout assay was successfully applied to monitor ALP in human serum samples, showing its great potential as a point of care biosensor for clinical diagnosis.

The analytical performance of this sensor has been evaluated for detection of DA and Trp in human serum.     

A Simple HPLC Method for the Determination of Trazodone Human Serum

Abstract

A simple HPLC method with minimal sample preparation and good reproducibility for the determination of trazodone in serum is described. Basified serum samples were extracted using ethyl acetate containing diazepam as the internal standard (IS). Chromatography was performed on a cyanopropylsilane column with 15 μL sample injection. The mobile phase consisted of 0.02 M ammonium phosphate, pH 7.5 : acetonitrile (70:30 v/v). The eluent was monitored at 220 nm. The serum standard curve was linear from 10.0 to 8000.0 ng/mL serum. The overall within-run quality control CV was 6.3% for five concentrations (20.0, 40.0, 100.0, 250.0 and 1000.0 ng/mL) and the overall recovery from serum was 85.4%. This method has been applied to the analysis of human serum samples.     

Electrochemical Evaluation of Nucleoside Analogue Lamivudine in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Human Serum

Lamivudine (LAM) is a synthetic nucleoside analogue with activity against human immunodeficiency virus‐type 1 (HIV‐1) and Hepatitis B virus (HBV). The aim of this study was to determine LAM levels in serum and pharmaceutical formulations, by means of electrochemical methods using hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). On this electrode, LAM undergoes irreversible reduction at the peak potential near E_p?1.26 V (vs. Ag/AgCl/3 M KCl). Reduction LAM signals were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and square‐wave voltammetry (OSW). DPV and OSW techniques for the determination of LAM in acetate buffer at pH 4.5, which allows quantitation over the 4×10^?6 to 1×10^?4 M range in supporting electrolyte for both methods, were proposed. The linear response was obtained in acetate buffer in the ranges of 2×10^?6 to 2×10^?4 M for spiked serum samples at pH 4.5 for both techniques. The repeatability and reproducibility of the methods for all media were determined. The standard addition method was used in serum. Precision and accuracy were also checked in all media. No electroactive interferences from the endogenous substances were found in serum. With respect to side effects of high doses and short half‐life of LAM, a fast and simple detection method is described in this study.
