Application

4-Aminophthalhydrazide has been used in:
  • chemiluminescence-based reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay in bone marrow (BM) neutrophils post-Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection
  • neutrophil ROS assays post-K. pneumonia exposure
  • neutrophil ROS assays in response to formylated-methionine-leucine-proline

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Aminophthalhydrazide or isoluminol is a chemiluminescent compound that comprises a phthalazine ring. It is more hydrophilic than luminol. Isoluminol is commercially used in a wide variety of in vitro immunoassays and is a chemiluminescence amplifier for studying reactive oxygen species. It is also useful as an electroluminescence (ECL) biosensor and as a probe for rapid microbial detection.

Features and Benefits

Produces chemiluminescence.

The differentiation between extra- and intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in whole blood was measured by luminol- and isoluminol-enhanced chemiluminescence (CL). Azide (total CL inhibition), azide + horseradish peroxidase (HRP, restoring extracellular CL), superoxide dismutase + catalase (depleting

Crohn's disease (CD) is mimicked by inherited phagocyte disorders and is associated with circulating antibodies against yeast mannan (anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody; ASCA). We speculated that mannans might impair phagocyte function. S cerevisiae mannan was assessed for its effects on human

A new method for pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC) coupling with chemiluminescence (CL) detection using a modified on-column coaxial flow detection interface was developed. To evaluate the feasibility and reliability of the experimental setup, the typical CL compounds luminol and isoluminol
