The fluorimetric determination of oxalic acid in blood and other biological materials.

ABSTRACT: 1. Oxalic acid is separated from interfering substances by extraction with tri-n-butyl phosphate followed by co-precipitation with calcium sulphate. The precipitated oxalic acid is then reduced to glyoxylic acid, which is coupled with resorcinol to form a coloured fluorescent complex. 2. The spectrofluorometric method described is sensitive and highly specific, the minimum detectable amount of oxalic acid being 0.9mumole under the recommended conditions. 3. The concentration of oxalic acid in blood from 15 normal adults was 200-320mug./100ml. For serum the range was 135-280mug./100ml. The urinary excretion of oxalic acid by 60 normal adults on a normal diet was 9.0-28.5mg./24hr.

Fluorimetric determination of D-amino acid oxidase.

Project description:1. A sensitive fluorimetric procedure for the assay of d-amino acid oxidase has been developed. 2. The method depends on the formation of a fluorescent derivative, 2-hydroxy-3-methylquinoxaline, on condensation of pyruvate with o-phenylenediamine in acid medium. 3. 2-Hydroxy-3-methylquinoxaline fluoresces strongly in 50% (v/v) sulphuric acid after excitation at 375mmu. A single emission peak is observed at 480mmu. 4. Formation of the quinoxaline is dependent on time, temperature, acidity and relative concentration of reactants. 5. A particulate preparation from mouse kidney required FAD for optimum activity at pH8.5; K(m) was 3.8x10(-3)m; K(FAD) was 1.4x10(-7)m and the reaction was strongly inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate and phenylmercuric acetate. 6. Subcellular fractionation on a sucrose density gradient confirmed that the d-amino acid oxidase was localized on small granules.

Biological Control of Meloidogyne incognita by Aspergillus niger F22 Producing Oxalic Acid.

Project description:Restricted usage of chemical nematicides has led to development of environmentally safe alternatives. A culture filtrate of Aspergillus niger F22 was highly active against Meloidogyne incognita with marked mortality of second-stage juveniles (J2s) and inhibition of egg hatching. The nematicidal component was identified as oxalic acid by organic acid analysis and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Exposure to 2 mmol/L oxalic acid resulted in 100% juvenile mortality at 1 day after treatment and suppressed egg hatching by 95.6% at 7 days after treatment. Oxalic acid showed similar nematicidal activity against M. hapla, but was not highly toxic to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. The fungus was incubated on solid medium and dried culture was used for preparation of a wettable powder-type (WP) formulation as an active ingredient. Two WP formulations, F22-WP10 (ai 10%) and oxalic acid-WP8 (ai 8%), were prepared using F22 solid culture and oxalic acid. In a field naturally infested with M. incognita, application of a mixture of F22-WP10 + oxalic acid-WP8 at 1,000- and 500-fold dilutions significantly reduced gall formation on the roots of watermelon plants by 58.8 and 70.7%, respectively, compared to the non-treated control. The disease control efficacy of the mixture of F22-WP10 + oxalic acid-WP8 was significantly higher than that of a chemical nematicide, Sunchungtan (ai 30% fosthiazate). These results suggest that A. niger F22 can be used as a microbial nematicide for the control of root-knot nematode disease.

Oxalic acid-pyridine-4-carbonitrile (1/2).

Project description:In the title compound, 2C(6)H(4)N(2)·C(2)H(2)O(4), the oxalic acid mol-ecule lies about an inversion center. The pyridine ring of the pyridine-4-carbonitrile mol-ecule is almost planar, the largest deviation from the least-squares plane being 0.006?(1)?Å; the nitrile N atom deviates from this plane by 0.114?(1)?Å. In the crystal, the oxalic acid mol-ecules and the pyridine-4-carbonitrile mol-ecules form stacks. Neighboring mol-ecules within the stacks are related by translation in the a direction, with inter-planar distances of 3.183?(1) and 3.331?(2)?Å, respectively. Each oxalic acid mol-ecule forms strong O-H?N hydrogen bonds with two mol-ecules of pyridine-4-carbonitrile. Besides this, there are also weak C-H?O inter-actions.

Protein-templated copper nanoclusters for fluorimetric determination of human serum albumin.

Project description:Copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) are attractive for their unique optical properties, providing sensitive fluorescent detection of several kinds of targets even in complex matrices. Their ability in growing on suitable protein and nucleic acid templates make CuNCs efficient optical reporters to be exploited in bioanalysis. In this work, we report the specific and sensitive determination of human serum albumin (HSA) in human serum (HS) and urine via CuNCs fluorescence. HSA is the most abundant protein in plasma, and plays a key role in the early diagnosis of serious pathological conditions such as albuminuria and albuminemia. Recently, HSA has become clinically central also as a biomarker to assess severity, progression, and prognosis of various cancers. We report the controlled and reproducible growth of CuNCs directly on the target analyte, HSA, which results in a fine dose-dependent fluorescent emission at 405 nm. The protocol is optimized in water, and then applied to serum and urine specimens, without matrix pretreatment. The method linearly responds within the whole concentration of clinical interest, with a sensitivity of 1.8 ± 0.1 × 10-3 g L-1 and 0.62 ± 0.03 × 10-3 g L-1 in serum and urine, respectively, and excellent reproducibility (CVav% ca. 3% for both). The assay is designed to have a single protocol working for both matrices, with recovery of 95% (HS) and 96% (urine). The stability of the fluorescence after CuNCs formation was tested over 3 days, displaying good results (yet higher in urine than in serum).

THE FLUORIMETRIC MICRODETERMINATION OF GLYOXYLIC ACID IN BLOOD, URINE AND BACTERIAL EXTRACTS.

Project description:1. A spectrophotofluorimetric method for the determination of glyoxylic acid in biological materials is described. 2. The method is based on the reaction between glyoxylic acid and resorcinol in acid solution, a fluorescent complex being obtained on the subsequent addition of alkali. 3. The reaction was found to be sensitive and highly specific, the minimum detectable amount of glyoxylic acid being 1.35x10(-8) mole. 4. The urinary excretion of glyoxylic acid by ten normal adults ranged from 1.4 to 4.7mg./24hr. Small but measurable amounts of glyoxylic acid were found in cell-free extracts of Pseudomonas oxalaticus OX1 grown on oxalic acid as a source of carbon. No glyoxylic acid was detected in human serum.

1,3-Benzothia-zole-oxalic acid (2/1).

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(7)H(5)NS·0.5C(2)H(2)O(4), contains one benzothia-zole mol-ecule and half an oxalic acid mol-ecule, the complete mol-ecule being generated by inversion symmetry. The benzothia-zole mol-ecule is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.007?(1)?Å. In the crystal, the benzothia-zole mol-ecules inter-act with the oxalic acid mol-ecules via O-H?N and C-H?O hydrogen bonds generating R(2) (2)(8) (× 2) and R(4) (4)(10) motifs, thereby forming supra-molecular ribbons along [101].

Fluorimetric Method for the Determination of Histidine in Random Human Urine Based on Zone Fluidics.

Project description:In the present study, the determination of histidine (HIS) by an on-line flow method based on the concept of zone fluidics is reported. HIS reacts fast with o-phthalaldehyde at a mildly basic medium (pH 7.5) and in the absence of additional nucleophilic compounds to yield a highly fluorescent derivative (?ex/?em = 360/440 nm). The flow procedure was optimized and validated, paying special attention to its selectivity and sensitivity. The LOD was 31 nmol·L-1, while the within-day and day-to-day precisions were better than 1.0% and 5.0%, respectively (n = 6). Random urine samples from adult volunteers (n = 7) were successfully analyzed without matrix effect (<1%). Endogenous HIS content ranged between 116 and 1527 ?mol·L-1 with percentage recoveries in the range of 87.6%-95.4%.

A fluorimetric method for the determination of tryptophan in animal tissues.

Project description:Tryptophan, tryptamine and peptides containing N-terminal tryptophan give two highly fluorescent products on treatment with dithiothreitol and acid ninhydrin reagent 1 or 2. The first fluorescent product (product A) gives an emission at 500nm on activation at 390-400nm and is stable for 20min. The second product (product B), which gives an emission at 530nm on activation at 470nm, is detectable within 1h after the reaction. It gives almost maximum intensity in 4h and is stable for at least 48h. Except lysine, which in equimolar amounts gives less than 1% of a product similar to product B, no other naturally occurring amino compounds give fluorescent products. A procedure is given for the determination of 0.05-34nmol of tryptophan in tissue extracts. By using this procedure rat brain was found to contain 17.56+/-0.76 (s.e.m.) nmol/g wet wt.

Overcoming Crystallinity Limitations of Aluminium Metal-Organic Frameworks by Oxalic Acid Modulated Synthesis.

Project description:A modulated synthesis approach based on the chelating properties of oxalic acid (H2 C2 O4 ) is presented as a robust and versatile method to achieve highly crystalline Al-based metal-organic frameworks. A comparative study on this method and the already established modulation by hydrofluoric acid was conducted using MIL-53 as test system. The superior performance of oxalic acid modulation in terms of crystallinity and absence of undesired impurities is explained by assessing the coordination modes of the two modulators and the structural features of the product. The validity of our approach was confirmed for a diverse set of Al-MOFs, namely X-MIL-53 (X=OH, CH3 O, Br, NO2 ), CAU-10, MIL-69, and Al(OH)ndc (ndc=1,4-naphtalenedicarboxylate), highlighting the potential benefits of extending the use of this modulator to other coordination materials.
