[Serum amylase determination : automated continuous flow method (author's transl)].

A simple automated assay was described for the determination of serum amylase using a chromogenic substrate. The reaction was stopped by filtration across a cellulose nitrate membrane. The analytic parameters of this method were studied. Repeatability, reproducibility and precision were convenient. The calibration curve was linear up to 850 U/I. An excellent correlation was obtained after comparison with the manual method (Phadebas amylase test). The effects of haemolysis and very high ascorbic concentrations of bilirubin, glucose, uric acid and ascorbic acid were negligible on the value measured. The serum turbidity was alone to induce a variation by excess.

Influence of new gamma-aminobutyric acid amide derivatives and its phthalimide precursors on the central nervous system activity in mice.

The present study investigated the influence of BM-78, BM-121 (gamma-aminobutyric acid amide derivatives) and BM-42, BM-43 (phthalimide precursors of BM-78 and BM-121) on the spontaneous locomotor activity and on the picrotoxin-induced seizures. Results of pharmacological in vivo examination of the effects of new gamma-aminobutyric acid amide derivatives and its phthalimide precursors (compounds BM-78, BM-121, BM-42, BM-43), presented in this paper showed that all the compounds had different but clear influence on CNS in mice.
