This rapid, reliable enzymatic differential assay method for diamines (putrescine plus cadaverine), spermidine, and spermine in urine and blood is suitable for practical routine use and does not require special and expensive equipment. The method is based on a combination of the substrate specificities of two amine oxidases, i.e., polyamine oxidase from A. terreus and putrescine oxidase from M. rubens. Quinone dye, derived from hydrogen peroxide generated in each of three end-point reactions, is measured spectrophotometrically at 555 nm, and the amounts of the respective amines are simply calculated. Analytical recoveries and precisions are acceptable. The proposed method produces results which correlate with high-performance liquid chromatography. Twenty or more assays can be done within 3 hr by one technician.
