Abstract

Process involving marking of the reaction cpds. with stabile nitrogen-15 (15N). The process involves measuring gaseous nitrogen produced by the reaction and determining the quantity of 15N. Any reduction in 15N is as a result of 15N being combined in the reaction products (e.g. nitrites, amino-cpds.). In the gas tight process container (6) in which any reactions take place any un-marked nitrogen in the air is first driven off using a cleaner or transport gas (1). The rate of flow of the transport gas (1) is measured in a flow meter (5) prior to the process container (6). The reactants (e.g. nitric acid (3), aliphatic amine-cpds. (4)) and 15N tracer (e.g. 15N marked nitrite) are injected into the process container (6). In a measuring arrangement (7) the quantity of 15N can be determined by mass spectroscopy. USE/ADVANTAGE - Determines nitrous cpd. formation in a biochemical reaction. With the development of routine processes for the determn. of isotope concn. (e.g. mass spectroscopy) non-radioactive isotope tracing is possible. The claimed process is easier and cheaper to carry out than alternative chemical methods or processes involving the radioactive isotope 13N (with the attendant disadvantages of radioactive radiation and short half-life).

Ziel der ErfindungAim of the invention

Das Ziel der Erfindung ist die störungsfreie bzw. nichtinvasive Bestimmung des Nitrosierungspotentials anhand kleinster endogen gebildeter Stickstoffmengen in einem biochemischen Reaktions­ system, die mit keiner anderen nichtisotopischen Methode meßbar sind.The aim of the invention is trouble-free or non-invasive Determination of the nitrosation potential using the smallest endogenous Amounts of nitrogen formed in a biochemical reaction system that cannot be measured with any other non-isotopic method are.

Darlegung des Wesens der ErfindungState the nature of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren anzugeben, mit dem das Nitrosierungspotential eines biochemischen Reaktions­ systems über seine endogene Stickstoffproduktion quantitativ ge­ messen werden kann. Eine radioaktive Methode mit dem Stickstoff­ isotop 13N ist zwar prinzipiell denkbar, hat aber gegenüber der Stabilisotopen-Methode entscheidende Nachteile (Radioaktivität, Kurzlebigkeit des Isotops 13N [Halbwertszeit: 10 min.]).The invention has for its object to provide a method with which the nitrosation potential of a biochemical reaction systems quantitatively about its endogenous nitrogen production can be measured. A radioactive method with the nitrogen In principle, isotope 13N is conceivable, but compared to Stabilisotope method decisive disadvantages (radioactivity, Short life span of the isotope 13N [half-life: 10 min.]).

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren besteht darin, daß bei dem zu un­ tersuchenden biochemischen Reaktionssystem zunächst der im Reak­ tionsraum befindliche Luftstickstoff durch ein Spül- und Trägergas ausgetauscht wird.The method according to the invention is that at the un investigating biochemical reaction system first in the reac air nitrogen through a purge and carrier gas is exchanged.

Danach wird eine entsprechende stabilisotop 15N-markierte Verbin­ dung in das biochemische Reaktionssystem einmalig, in zeitlicher Staffelung oder kontinuierlich eingebracht und anschließend die 15N-Isotopenhäufigkeit des bei Vorhandensein reaktionsfähiger Verbindungen (salpetrige Säure aus Nitrit und aliphatische Amino­ verbindungen) sich bildenden endogenen gasförmigen Stickstoff s zeitabhängig massenspektrometrisch gemessen. Then a corresponding stable isotope 15N-labeled verb in the biochemical reaction system once, in time Graduated or continuously introduced and then the 15N isotope frequency of the more reactive in the presence Compounds (nitrous acid from nitrite and aliphatic amino compounds) forming endogenous gaseous nitrogen s measured time-dependent mass spectrometry.  

Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt und werden im folgenden näher beschrieben.Two embodiments of the invention are in the drawing are shown and are described in more detail below.

AusführungsbeispieleEmbodiments

1. Mit Hilfe der stabilisotopen Tracertechnik soll bei der Umset­ zung von Harnstoff mit salpetriger Säure die endogene Stickstoff- Produktion quantitativ nach einem nichtvolumetrischen Verfahren bestimmt werden.1. With the help of the stable isotopic tracer technique should be implemented of urea with nitrous acid the endogenous nitrogen Production quantitatively using a non-volumetric process be determined.

Zunächst werden die Reaktionspartner (1 mmol Harnstoff und 2 mmol Natriumnitrat) sowie 0,01 mmol 15N-markierter Harnstoff (95 At.-%) in den Reaktionsraum 6 gebracht (Fig. 1). Danach wird der im Reaktionsraum befindliche Luftstickstoff durch ein Edelgas, z. B. Argon, verdrängt.First, the reactants (1 mmol of urea and 2 mmol of sodium nitrate) and 0.01 mmol of 15N-labeled urea (95 at%) are brought into the reaction space 6 ( FIG. 1). Then the atmospheric nitrogen in the reaction chamber is replaced by an inert gas, e.g. B. argon, displaced.

Die Umsetzung kann dann durch das Hinzufügen von 4 bis 5 mmol halbkonzentrierter Salzsäure in Gang gesetzt werden. Der entstehende Stickstoff wird mittels des Edelgases als Träger­ gas in einen Exetainer (= luftdicht verschließbares Probengefäß mit einem Septum) überführt. (Eine quantitative Überführung des Stickstoffs ist dabei nicht erforderlich!)The reaction can then be done by adding 4 to 5 mmol semi-concentrated hydrochloric acid. The nitrogen produced is used as a carrier by means of the noble gas gas into an Exetainer (= airtight sealable sample container with a septum). (A quantitative transfer of the Nitrogen is not required!)

Mit Hilfe einer massenspektrometrischen Messung wird die 15N- Häufigkeit des Stickstoffs aus den Exetainern bestimmt.With the help of a mass spectrometric measurement, the 15N Frequency of nitrogen determined from exetainers.

Aus der Isotopenverdünnung wird die endogen gebildete Stickstoff­ menge berechnet.The endogenously formed nitrogen becomes from the isotope dilution quantity calculated.

2. In einer biologischen Flüssigkeit (Speichel) soll der Nitrit­ gehalt mit Hilfe der Isotopenverdünnungstechnik bestimmt werden.2. In a biological fluid (saliva) the nitrite content can be determined using the isotope dilution technique.

Unter Verwendung der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Reaktionsapparatur werden zu 2 ml Speichel 1 µmol 15N-markiertes Natriumnitrit (10 At.-%) gegeben. (Reaktionspartner, z. B. aliphatische Verbindungen mit primären Aminogruppen sind ausreichend im Speichel vorhanden und brauchen deshalb nicht hinzugefügt werden.) Danach wird der unmarkierte Luftstickstoff mittels eines durch den Reaktionsraum geleiteten Argonstromes aus dem Reaktionsraum verdrängt. Die Reak­ tion wird durch Ansäuern mit 1 mmol halbkonzentrierter Salzsäure gestartet.Using the reaction apparatus shown in FIG. 1, 1 μmol of 15N-labeled sodium nitrite (10 at.%) Is added to 2 ml of saliva. (Reaction partners, for example aliphatic compounds with primary amino groups, are sufficiently present in the saliva and therefore do not need to be added.) The unlabeled atmospheric nitrogen is then displaced out of the reaction space by means of an argon stream passed through the reaction space. The reaction is started by acidification with 1 mmol of semi-concentrated hydrochloric acid.

Die nachfolgenden Arbeitsschritte erfolgen wie unter Anwendungs­ beispiel 1 beschrieben.The following steps are the same as under Application Example 1 described.
