Abstract

A rapid test for the determination of lactate in urine is described, which differentiates adequately between normal and elevated urine lactate levels. The method depends on the enzymatic decolourization of the blue dye dichlorophenolindophenol by lactate in the presence of the enzyme L-lactate cytochrome c oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.2.3). Interference by vitamin C is prevented by pre-treatment with charcoal. The test is simple and inexpensive, and a compact testing unit, which is stable and convenient for most laboratories, can be assembled in a glass capillary.

Pachypodol from Croton ciliatoglanduliferus Ort. as water-splitting enzyme inhibitor on thylakoids.

A bioactivity-guided chemical study of aerial parts of Croton ciliatoglanduliferus Ort. led to the isolation for the first time of the flavonoids retusin (5-hydroxy-3,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone) (1) and pachypodol (5,4'-dihydroxy-3,7,3'-trimethoxyflavone) (2) from the n-hexane extract. Compounds 1 and 2 were separated by preparative thin-layer chromatography. Compound 2 was the most active compound on ATP synthesis inhibition. The I50 value was 51 microM. Pachypodol behaves as a Hill reaction inhibitor. It inhibited the uncoupled electron flow on photosystem II partial reaction from water to dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) and from water to sodium silicomolybdate. However, the uncoupled partial reaction from diphenylcarbazide to DCPIP and the uncoupled photosystem I from DCPIPred to MV were not inhibited by 2. These results were corroborated by fluorescence decay data. Therefore, pachypodol inhibits the water-splitting enzyme activity. Compound 1 with a 4'-methoxy group was a weak inhibitor, indicating that the 4' free -OH group is important for strong inhibition.
