Method Of Preserving Arylacylamidase In Aqueous Solution

US Patent:
5188955, Feb 23, 1993
Filed:
Jan 21, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/823452
Inventors:
Aurora F. DeCastro - Union MI
Surendra K. Gupta - Elkhart IN
Steven M. Shantz - Goshen IN
Assignee:
GDS Technology, Inc. - Elkhart IN
International Classification:
C12N 996
C12N 978
US Classification:
435188
Abstract:
Arylacylamidase can be stabilized by inhibiting conformational changes using either o-cresol or benzoic acid or salts of benzoic acid as a stabilizing agent. The compositions show significantly enhanced stability of arylacylamidase in aqueous solution, lyophilized, and solid-phase formats.

Test Composition And Method For The Determination Of Anilides

US Patent:
4999288, Mar 12, 1991
Filed:
Oct 28, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/116169
Inventors:
Aurora F. deCastro - Union MI
Surendra K. Gupta - Elkhart IN
Steven M. Shantz - Goshen IN
Assignee:
GDS Technology, Inc. - Elkhart IN
International Classification:
C12Q 134
C12Q 128
C12N 996
US Classification:
435 18
Abstract:
A method and unitized test composition is described for the estimation of an anilide in which the enzymatic hydrolysis of the anilide and colorimetric quantitation of aniline or aniline derivative can be done simultaneously. The hydrolysis of the anilide is catalyzed by a known enzyme, arylacylamidase, E. C. 3. 5. 1. 13. Stabilization of the enzyme is provided by the addition of controlled amounts of a compound containing alcoholic and/or aromatic groups such as ortho-cresol, isopropanol or benzoate. Basically, the unitized test composition comprises (i) arylacylamidase, (ii) a controlled amount of an organic compound containing alcoholic and/or aromatic groups which acts as both a stabilizer for the arylacylamidase and forms a colored product with aniline, and (iii) a novel oxidant/catalytic agent for accelerating color development. The benefit of such methodology results in a one step addition of the complete reagent to the sample, serum or matrix containing the anilide as opposed to a several step addition. The consequence of this is that only one reagent channel is required to perform the test in an automated analyzer as opposed to the usual requirement that several channels be utilized.
