Administration of phenylhydrazine to rabbits resulted in the denaturation of hemoglobins in erythrocytes, causing the formation of intracellular precipitates known as Heinz bodies, severe hemolytic anemia, and reticulocytosis. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of the destabilization, we allowed human oxyhemoglobins to react aerobically with phenylhydrazine. After treatment with acetic acid/H...

The activation of papain with four different activators is not accompanied by the binding of any of them to the protein. These experiments, taken together with previously reported results, show that the inactive form of papain prepared by the method of Kimmel and Smith (J. Biol. Chem., 207, 5’75 (1954)) is a mixed disulfide formed between the active site sulfhydryl group of the protein and free...

The article gives the experimental data for chronic and acute intoxication with phenylhydrazine. Under the action of hydrazine, the transport function of thoracic duct was suppressed to 40%; therefore, there was a decrease of the return of proteins from tissues to lymph. It can be seen that adrenaline and its antagonists can suppress the contractile activity of thoracic duct at intoxication wit...

Objective: The present work is based on the above pyrazoline derivative form heterocyclic substituted chalcone. Methods: elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR mass spectrum analyses were used to characterise structures of obtained compounds. Results: scheme-1 scheme-2 describe synthesis chalcone (thiophene-fluorenyl derivative) pyrazolines respectively. Chalcone has been synthesized from 2-Ace...

The hemolytic properties of phenylhydrazine and phenylhydrazine hydrochloride were first demonstrated by Hoppe-Seyler (16) in 1884. During the following thirty-four years the drug or its derivatives were used to some extent in the production of experimental anemia in animals, but it was not until 1918 that it achieved a place in human therapeusis through publication of experiments by Eppinger a...

Marrow radioiron uptake and marrow blood flow were measured in order to evaluate iron supply for erythropoiesis. Normal, phenylhydrazine-treated and bled animals were studied. The plasma iron turnover of seven normal rabbits was 1.49 +/- 0.22 mg/dl whole blood per d, of 11 rabbits treated 4 d before with phenylhydrazine was 5.16 +/- 1.81, and of four bled animals the plasma iron turnover was 3....

Previous studies have pointed towards a cofactor role for pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) in lysyl oxidase, the enzyme that generates the peptidyl aldehyde precursor to the lysine-derived cross-linkages in elastin and collagen. The nature of a carbonyl moiety in purified bovine aortic lysyl oxidase was explored in the present study. A PLP dinitrophenylhydrazone could not be isolated from lysyl oxi...

Ureidoglycolate is an intermediate in the degradation of the ureides, allantoin and allantoate, found in many organisms. In some leguminous plant species these compounds are used to transport recently fixed nitrogen in the root nodules to the aerial parts of the plant. In the present study, it was demonstrated that purified ureidoglycolases from chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and French bean (Phase...
