The methods described in this paper are based on the uricase catalyzed oxidation of uric acid to allantoine and hydrogen peroxide. By making use of the catalytic activity of peroxidase the generated H2O2 is measured either spectrophotometrically with 3-methyl-benzothiazoline-2-one hydrazone (MBTH) and 3-dimethylaminobenzoic acid (DMAB) (M1) or fluorimetrically with tyramine (M2) or L-tyrosine (M3). The methods are simple, sensitive and selective. The procedures developed can be rapidly and readily performed on patient serum samples without deproteinization using 100 microliters and 5 microliters for colorimetric and fluorimetric assay, respectively.

D014527 Uric Acid An oxidation product, via XANTHINE OXIDASE, of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN. 2,6,8-Trihydroxypurine,Ammonium Acid Urate,Monosodium Urate,Monosodium Urate Monohydrate,Potassium Urate,Sodium Acid Urate,Sodium Acid Urate Monohydrate,Sodium Urate,Sodium Urate Monohydrate,Trioxopurine,Urate,Acid Urate, Ammonium,Acid Urate, Sodium,Acid, Uric,Monohydrate, Monosodium Urate,Monohydrate, Sodium Urate,Urate Monohydrate, Monosodium,Urate Monohydrate, Sodium,Urate, Ammonium Acid,Urate, Monosodium,Urate, Potassium,Urate, Sodium,Urate, Sodium Acid
