摘要: A new spectrophotometric assay was developed to measure, continuously and specifically, phospholipase A1 (PLA1) or A2 (PLA2) activities using synthetic glycerophosphatidylcholines (PCs) containing α-eleostearic acid, either at the sn-1 position [1-α-eleostearoyl-2-octadecyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (EOPC)] sn-2 [1-octadecyl-2-α-eleostearoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (OEPC)]. The substrates were coated onto wells of microtiter plates. nonhydrolyzable ether bond, with a non-UV-absorbing alkyl chain, introduced other sn prevent acyl chain migration during lipolysis. Upon enzyme action, acid is liberated then solubilized into micellar phase. PLA1 PLA2 activity measured by increase in absorbance 272 nm due transition from adsorbed soluble state. EOPC OEPC differentiate, excellent accuracy, between activity. Lecitase®, guinea pig pancreatic lipase-related protein 2 (known be enzyme), bee venom PLA2, porcine all used validate assay. Compared current assays for measuring and/or their inhibitors, development this sensitive enzymatic method, PC substrate analogs natural lipids based on UV spectroscopic properties significant improvement.
