چکیده
Cystathionine has been reported to undergo enzymatic changes leading to the formation of seven membered cyclic products (Ricci, G., Santoro, L., Achilli, M., Matarese, R. M., Nardini, M., and Cavallini, D. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 10511-10517; Cavallini, D., Costa, M., Pensa, B., and Coccia, R. (1985) Biochem. Int. 10, 641-646). Gas-chromatographic and mass-spectrometric evidence reported in this paper indicates that the cyclic derivative of cystathionine, 1,4-hexahydrothiazepine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid, here simply named cyclothionine, is a normal component of bovine brain. This finding together with the detection of the same compound in the urine of cystathioninuric patients (Kodama, H., Sasaki, K., Mikasa, H., Cavallini, D., and Ricci, G . (1984) J. Chronaatogr. 311, 183-188) supports the conclusion that cystathionine, apart from its role in trans-sulfuration, is converted also into cyclic compounds whose biochemical significance is as yet unknown.

متن کاملGas-chromatographic and mass-spectrometric detection of low-molecular-weight aliphatic alcohols in urine of normal individuals and patients with diabetes mellitus.
We studied the aliphatic alcohols in 100 urines from 25 patients with diabetes mellitus under treatment with insulin, oral antidiabetic medication, or special diet. The procedure involves adsorption of the low-molecular-weight urinary metabolites on a porous polymer of 2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylene oxide (Tenax GC), gas-chromatographic separation, mass spectrometric identification, and mass fragment...
متن کاملGas-chromatographic/mass-spectrometric determination of theophylline in whole blood.
We describe a combined gas-chromatographic mass-spectrometric method for determination of theophylline in whole blood. With use of a probability-based matching approach, the extensive gas-chromatographic interference did not affect mass-spectrometric quantitation of theophylline. Concentrations expected and found were linearly related from 1 to 60 mg/liter; the run-to-run coefficient of variati...

Gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric/computer analyses of trimethylsilyl derivatives of urine extracts, prepared by an anion-exchange procedure, reveal the presence of several tetronic and deoxytetronic acids. Identifications were confirmed by comparing gas-chromatographic methylene unit values and mass spectrometric characteristics with those of chemically synthesized samples. In addition, s...
