17α-Hydroxy-4-pregenen-3-one (17 αP) assay, using acetylcholinesterase enzyme as tracer
author
Abstract:
17a-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17aP) hormone is a precursor of other steroid hormones and radioimmunoassay has already been used to measure it, but a simple and rapid "Enzyme Linked Immunosorbant Assay" (ELISA) is described and validated here. A general procedure for prepara-tion of the acetylcholinesterase labelled steroid is described, which is applicable to any steroid. Use of acetylcholinesterase tracer increased the sensitivity of assay so that reliable measurements of each steroid could be achieved with only 10 ml of plasma. The ELISA was applied to measure 17, 20a-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17, 20aP) steroid production from 17aP by 20 a-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase (20a-HSD) from sperm of roach (Rutilus rutilus). The results showed that cyprinid sperm contains potent and active 20a-HSD enzymes which produce 17, 20aP hormone from 17aP substrate.

The title compound, C(19)H(28)O(3), the fungal-transformed metabolite of the steroid methyl-oestrenol contains four fused rings A, B, C and D. Ring A adopts a half-chair and the trans-fused rings B and C adopt chair confirmations; the five-membered D ring is folded like an envelope. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O(carbon-yl) and O-H⋯O(hy-droxy) hydrogen bonds into a laye...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for neopterin using penicillinase as marker enzyme is reported here by polyclonal antibodies against neopterin conjugated to bovine serum albumin which were raised in rabbits. Immunoglobulin fractions were purified and coated on wells of microtiter plates. A chain heterology was introduced in neopterin derivative and conjugated to penicillinase. The assa...

In the title compound, C(22)H(28)N(2)O(2)·H(2)O, rings B and C adopt chair conformations. Ring A adopts an envelope conformation, with the non-fused C atom adjacent to the fused C atom bearing a methyl group as the flap atom. Ring D also adopts an envelope conformation, with the fused C atom not bearing a methyl group as the flap atom. The water mol-ecule links the mol-ecules via O-H⋯O and O-H⋯...
