Spektralphotometrische Bestimmung von Val5-Angiotensin II Asp1-β-amid durch Azokupplung mit p-Chlorbenzoldiazoniumchlorid

Through the azocoupling of Val⁵-angiotensin II-Asp¹-β-amide (Hypertensin-CIBA) with p-halogene substituted benzenediazonium salts the possibility is shown for quantitative determination of polypeptides containing tyrosine and/or histidine. 1 to 2 nanomoles of the coupling-product could be measured photometrically. The detection limit can be lowered, if the polypeptide is coupled with a radioactive labelled diazonium salt. The preferable reaction conditions for diazotising and coupling are reported. The reaction-product showed an uniform behaviour in the used paper-chromatographic system. Probably it is a monoazo compound. Under the chosen conditions the tyrosyl group is very likely the reacting part of the hypertensin molecule.
