摘要:
A method for inhibiting xanthine oxidase and for reducing uric acid levels using a beta-carboline alkaloid compound of formula (I), wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl group, a carboxylate group, a carboxamide group and hydrogen, and R2 is selected from the group consisting of —CH2COOCH3, a methoxy group, hydrogen and a methyl group. Also disclosed is a method for monitoring xanthine oxidase inhibiting activity level.
摘要:
The invention provides a method of determining a predisposition to a condition associated with ATP depletion, such as an ischaemic event, in a subject comprising: a. measuring the concentration of one or more purines in a body fluid of the subject, the purines being selected from adenosine, inosine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and ATP, and b. comparing the measured concentration with a threshold concentration of the one or more purines, wherein the threshold concentration is preferably in the range 2 [micro]M to 8 [micro]M and wherein a measured concentration higher than the threshold concentration indicates the presence of ischaemia.

摘要:
The substrate for xanthine oxidase such as xanthine, hypoxanthine, guanine, 2-hydroxypurine, etc. are determined by oxidizing the substrate by the action of xanthine oxidase derived from a microorganism and determining the formed hydrogen peroxide by the system for the determination of hydrogen peroxide comprising peroxidase and coloring reagent.The determination is carried out in one step by using the test composition for the determination of the substrate for xanthine oxidase which comprises xanthine oxidase and a system for the determination of hydrogen peroxide.The determination method can be applied to the determination of the compound which participates in the system wherein the substrate is stoichiometrically formed by the reaction or decomposition. When the system is an enzymatic reaction, the compound is determined in one step.Xanthine oxidase used in the present invention is different from known xanthine oxidase in molecular weight and is prepared by culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Enterobacter.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising a polymeric matrix or a gel containing functional enzymes capable of re-creating under culture conditions the cell microenvironment existing in vivo. The present invention also relates to devices for cell cultures comprising such compositions, in particular hydrogel and the use thereof to control the chemical microenvironment of a cell culture or mimic physiological or pathological conditions of the in vivo cells. The compositions and the devices described herein could be also used in vitro for evaluating the therapeutic effect of a compound on a determined cell line or on primary cells.

摘要:
An antitumor agent, which is a combination of an oxidoreductase, such as xanthine oxidase chemically conjugated to a polymer such as poly ethylene glycol, for initial administration and accumulation in the tumor tissue followed by administration of a substrate for the oxidoreductase which releases reactive oxygen species. Improved tumor selective cytotoxic activity results.

摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods of preventing acute renal failure, ARF, as well as treating and accelerating the recovery of patients experiencing ARF. The inventors believe that an elevated serum uric acid, either occurring at baseline in the patient, or being brought about post-operatively is a major factor leading to ARF. Specifically exemplified are methods that involve administering to a patient at risk of experiencing ARF a composition comprising a uric acid lowering agent.
