Description

SPECIFICATION Colorimetric determination of peroxides This invention relates to a system of reagents for use in the determination of peroxides, for example those generated by enzymic and/or chemical reactions.
It is known that many reactions can be carried out in the presence of enzymes in order to achieve a higher reaction velocity and, in a few cases, to obtain a possibility of closer control. Many of the enzymic reactions themselves involve an interaction between the substrate and oxygen. One of the products is hydrogen peroxide, in an amount which is proportional to the amount of starting material.
There is, on the other hand, a wide range of reactions which are purely chemical reactions and which give, as an end product, a peroxide in an amount which is again proportional to the amount of starting material.
There is, on the other hand, a wide range of reactions which are purely chemical reactions and which give, as an end product, a peroxide in an amount which is again proportional to the amount of starting material.
In addition, it is known that hydrogen peroxide and peroxides in general can be used as substrates in reactions in which particular enzymes, such as peroxidase (POD) and catalase, are used. Such enzymes catalyse the oxidation of an appropriate substance at the expense of the peroxide, which is reduced (to water in the particular case of hydrogen peroxide). The oxidised substance is produced in an amount which is proportional to the amount of peroxide which is present and thus to the amount of the substrate which reacted to produce the peroxide.
A number of reagents have been suggested for the colorimetric determination of hydrogen peroxide, according to the following scheme: Reduced acceptor (colourless)+H2O2 (POD)
Oxidized acceptor (coloured)+H2O.
As the reduced acceptor, various substances have been employed, for example o-dianisidine, otolidine, o-phenylenediamine, guaiac, adrenalin, phenolphthalein, ABTS (the ammonium salt of 2,2' azino-di-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid), and ferrocyanide.
From 1 937 to 1943, Eisenstaedt (and subsequently Emerson) showed that 4-aminoantipyrine, in the presence of various aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, resulted in the formation of coloured reaction products by the action of oxidizing agents such as ferrocyanide. These results were reexamined by Trinder, who provided a colorimetric technique for measuring glucose in biological fluids, according to the following scheme:: Glucose+H20+O2 Glucose
Oxidase Gluconic acid+H202 H202+4-aminoantipyridine+phenol POD
quinone (coloured)+H2O Among the aromatic compounds capable of condensing with 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of oxidising agents, Eisenstaedt indicated in 1 938 that aromatic amines were suitable for this purpose.
In the light of the above, many authors have prepared chromogens in which there are used, together with 4-aminoantipyrine, aromatic amines which contain substituents in place of the hydrogen atom or atoms (e.g., N,N-dimethylaniline and N,N-diethylaniline) and amines which are substituted on the aromatic ring (e.g. N,N-diethyltoluidine and N-ethyl-N-ethylacetamide-m-toluidine).
According to the present invention, there is provided a chromogenic composition adapted to the determination by colorimetric methods of peroxides, comprising (a) a compound containing at least one reactive group bonded to a structure derived from 1 -phenyl-pyrazolin-5-one, and (b) an aromatic aminoacid of the formula:
wherein R and R1, which are the same or different, are each hydrogen or hydrocarbonaceous radical, and X is hydrogen or a monovalent cation.
We have found, in accordance with the present invention, that a number of aromatic aminoacids (or their salts) are capable of condensing with 4-aminoantipyrine or the like compounds in the presence of oxidising agents to give coloured products. Such aminoacids and their salts, in comparison to the aromatic amines mentioned above, have a number of advantages. Firstly, the coloured condensation products which are obtained have molar extinction coefficients higher than the coloured products which are obtained with the corresponding aromatic amines. Secondly, the aromatic aminoacids and their salts are solid, so that they can be included in solid mixtures, in contrast to the corresponding aromatic amines which are liquid. Thereby, the aromatic aminoacids and their salts are not toxic, contrary to the corresponding aromatic amines.
In our Patent No. 1,564,467, there is claimed a dry composition which, when dissolved in water, forms a reagent solution suitable for use in the determination of peroxides, which composition comprises (a) a 4-hydroxybenzoate, and (b) a compound containing at least one reactive group bound to a structure derived from 1 -phenyl-pyrazolin-5-one. In the determination of the hydrogen peroxide which is set free enzymatically in biological fluids, this composition permits satisfactory results to be obtained. However, in many cases, it is essential for the chromogen to have a greater sensitivity, for example when determining the hydrogen peroxide which is set free enzymically by substances and metabolites which are present in very small concentrations in biological fluids.The chromogenic system of the present invention, which may have a sensitivity about four times more than that of Patent No. 1,564,467, makes it possible to use small samples of biological fluids (while the dosage of the substance concerned remains sufficiently accurate and reliable), with the attendant advantage of reducing in the reaction mixture the concentration of potentially disturbing substances which may be simultaneously present in the sample being tested.
The chromogenic composition of the present invention is adapted to the determination of peroxides, more particularly to the determination of hydrogen peroxide which is set free enzymically from substrates which are contained in biological fluids.
Preferred components (b) of the composition are o-aminobenzoic acid or a salt thereof, maminobenzoic acid or a salt thereof, N-alkyl-m-aminobenzoic acids or salts thereof, and N,N-dialkyl-maminobenzoic acids or salts thereof, the m-substituted derivatives being most preferred. Among the latter, the most prominent efficiency has been exhibited by acids or salts which are wholly substituted on the nitrogen atom.
Examples of component (a) of the composition, in addition to 4-aminoantipyrine, are: (A) aminophenazone (i.e. 4-diethylamino-2,3-dimethyl-1 -phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one); (B) sulphamipirine or sulphamylpyrine (i.e. the sodium salt of 2,3-dimethyl-1 -phenyl-5-pyrazolone4-aminomethanesulphonic acid; (C) dibupyrene (i.e. the sodium salt of (1-phenyl-2,3-dimethyl-5-pyrazolon-4-yl) isobutylamino methanesulphonate); (D) propylephenazone (i.e. 4-isopropyl-2,3-dimethyl-1 -phenyl-3-pyrazolin-3-one); (E) thozalinone (i.e. 2-dimethylamino-5-phenyl-2-oxazoline-4-one); (F) methampyrone (i.e. the sodium salt of 1-phenyl-2,3-dimethyl-5-pyrazolone-4methylaminomethane sulphonate).
The following reaction illustrates the oxidation of the chromogens described herein, hydrogen peroxide being used in the presence of peroxidase as the oxidising agent for the chromogen (although other peroxides and appropriate oxidising agents are suitable for the purpose):
The invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples.
Example 1 Determination of hydrogen peroxide and other peroxides The principle of the determination is as follows. A solution which contains a peroxide in an appropriate concentration is admixed with a buffered solution which contains one of the chromogens described herein and a peroxide. When the colour is completely evolved, a photometric reading is taken at the appropriate wavelength. The colour which is evolved is proportional to the concentration of peroxide.
The reagent can be formulated as a powder reagent containing (a) a buffer system which can consist of phosphates, TRIS, aminopropanediol acetate and other derivatives or another equivalent, (b) an antiseptic and mould killing agent, (c) a chromogenic system consisting of 4-aminoantipyrine or the like, and an aromatic aminoacid, and (d) peroxidase.
Example 2 Determination of uric acid manually or automatically (with a continuous flow apparatus or by the use of separate samples), by taking an end reading.
The principle of the determination is as follows. The material to be tested is mixed, manually or automatically, with the reagent, which contains enzymes (uricase and peroxidase) and the chromogen, the whole being in a buffered solution. After the uric acid has been oxidised by the enzyme and the colour of the reaction has developed, a photometric reading is taken, either manually or automatically, at an appropriate wavelength. The evolved colour is proportional to the quantity of uric acid which is present in the sample.
For use in such a reaction, the formulation for the reagent can be as follows. In a single mixture there are present all of the substances which are necessary for the enzymic and chromogenic reactions, i.e. the enzymes uricase and POD, a buffer (e.g. phosphate, TRIS, acetate, aminopropanediol and derivatives and others), the aromatic aminoacid, 4-aminoantipyrine (or the like compound), an antibacterial agent, a capillary-active agent and a compound adapted to avoid potential interference.
Example 3 Results obtained in the manual determination of uric acid in human blood sera, using a particular reagent composition The reagents and concentrations thereof in a reagent system ready for use were: phosphate buffer (100 mM, pH 7.4), 4-aminoantipyrine (0.05 mM), N,N-dimethyl-m-aminobenzoic acid (1 mM), peroxidase (2000 U/litre), and uricase (50 u/litre). The results obtained using the reagent system were as follows.
Linearity The correlation between A at 550 nm and the concentration of uric acid was linear up to a concentration of 20 mg/dl of uric acid in the sample.
Comparison A comparison with the method by Fossati, P., Prencipe, L. (Quad. Sclavo Diagn. 14, 2, 1978) gave the following results (y=Fossati method): y=1 .001, x=0.036 mg/dl: r=0.985.
Accuracy in the "series" No. 20, average 4.6 mg/dl SD 0.08, mg/dl C.V.%=1.84.
Accuracy "among series" No. 20, average 4.7 mg/dl, S.D. 0.12 mg/dl C.V.%=2.84.
