Rapid and simple determination of histamine-N-methyl transferase activity by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection.
A rapid, simple and low-cost assay method of histamine-N-methyltransferase activity was developed. Methylhistamine, which was separated from the enzymatic reaction system on reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using an ion-paired chromatographic technique, was detected spectrophotometrically at 226 nm. The mobile phase used for the separation of methylhistamine was 0.05M NH4H2...
متن کاملThe elevation of cerebral histamine-N-and catechol-O-methyl transferase activities by L-methionine-dl-sulfoximine.
The administration of the convulsant, L-methionine-dl-sulfoximine (MSO), increased histamine N-methyl transferase (E.C. 2.1.1.8) (HMT) activity in rat and mouse brain and, to a lesser extent, catechol-O-methyl transferase (E.C. 2.1.1.6) (COMT) activity in rat brain. The duration of this effect was shortened by co-administration of L-methionine. The increased HMT activity was seen in S or 7 rat ...
متن کاملSteroid Induction of Phenylethanolamine-N-methyl Transferase
Unilateral explants of rat adrenal medullas grown in the anterior chamber of the eye contained very low phenylethanolamine-Nmethyl transferase (PNMT) activity. When animals were treated with dexamethasone for 7 days, PNMT activity rose more than 10-fold. These findings suggest that the increase in PNMT activity produced by glucocorticoids does not require an intact adrenal innervation. (Endocri...
متن کاملPurification and properties of phenylethanolamine-N-methyl transferase.
The methylation of norepinephrine to epinephrine was first demonstrated by Biilbring with the use of minced adrenal gland and adenosine triphosphate (2). Soon after, Keller, Boissonnas, and du Vigneaud (3) showed that the methyl group of methionine is incorporated into the epinephrine of the adrenal gland in the intact animal. Subsequently, S-adenosylmethionine was shown to be the methyl donor ...
متن کاملInhibition by drugs of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis-induced skin histamine decrease.
Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) was produced in the rat with mouse IgE-rich antiserum. The effect of drugs on the PCA-induced skin histamine decrease and leakage of protein-bound dye was studied. Salbutamol (0.5 mg/kg i.v. or 1.0 mg/kg s.c.) and cromoglycate (10 mg/kg i.v.) significantly inhibited the skin histamine decrease. A combination of salbutamol (0.5 mg/kg i.v. or 1.0 mg/kg s.c.) an...
