Abstract
Recently, we have described a method for evaluation of plasma amine oxidase (PAO) inhibitors, which monitors the formation of 6-(5-phenyl-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)hexanal from the corresponding amine substrate by HPLC with UV-detection using purified bovine PAO. We now investigated, whether crude bovine plasma can be used as enzyme source in this assay instead of the purified enzyme. With the aid of specific inhibitors, it was ensured that there was no detectable activity of other important amine oxidases in the plasma, namely monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B and diamine oxidase (DAO). For a series of ω-(5-phenyl-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)alkan-1-amine substrates similar conversion rates were measured for both the purified PAO and crude plasma. The inhibition values determined for the PAO inhibitor 2-(4-phenylphenyl)acetohydrazide (16) under different conditions also corresponded. Additionally, inhibition data of the known PAO inhibitor 2-amino-N-(3-phenylbenzyl)acetamide (17) and a newly synthesised meta-substituted derivative of 16 were determined, which together reflect the two-step inhibition mechanism of these covalent inhibitors.
