Collagenases are important enzymes frequently used for isolation of cells. Accurate estimation of collagenase activity is an important requirement. Available techniques for assaying collagenase activity are (i) ninhydrin-based assays, in which ninhydrin reacts with freshly generated N-termini resulting from collagenase action upon collagen, with a colorimetric read-out, (ii) synthetic substrate-based assays, in which collagenase action releases either a radioactive group or a fluorescent moiety. These methods are associated with some drawbacks. Here, we have standardized a simple, cost-effective method for assaying collagenase activity, using fluorescence readouts of N-terminal-specific fluorescamine adduction with peptides and proteins at pH 6.0. Collagenase-mediated degradation of gelatin and collagen was performed at pH 7.0. Following incubation, fluorescamine was added at pH 6.0. A standard plot based on the use of BSA (bovine serum albumin) was used for determination of the moles of freshly-generated N-termini detected, based on fluorescence owing to fluorescamine adduction to N-termini. The method was also tested with two other proteases (trypsin and cathepsin-K). Specific reaction of fluorescamine with α amino groups at pH 6.0 can be used for labeling of freshly generated N-termini in collagen subjected to degradation by a collagenase. The kinetic parameters determined by the fluorescamine assay are comparable to those determined previously. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4-Phenyl-3H,3’H-spiro[furan-2,1′-isobenzofuran]-3,3′-dione (cas: 38183-12-9SDS of cas: 38183-12-9).
4-Phenyl-3H,3’H-spiro[furan-2,1′-isobenzofuran]-3,3′-dione (cas: 38183-12-9) belongs to benzofurans derivatives. Many natural or synthetic compounds containing benzofuran skeletons have been found to possess remarkable activity as agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Benzofurans have also made significant and distinctive contributions to biology. They exhibit several biological activities that range from antioxidant, antitubercular, antiplasmodial, insecticidal.SDS of cas: 38183-12-9
