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.

To address the question why isoluminol, but not luminol, failed to detect oxidants produced intracellularly, differences between these luminophores were investigated with respect to physicochemical parameters and the character of chemiluminescence signal. Our results showed the isoluminol molecule to be

In our previous study, we developed capillary electrophoresis with an ultraviolet absorption/chemiluminescence dual detection system. Here, to demonstrate one of the possible applications of the capable system as well as confirm the advantage, migration behavior of isoluminol isothiocyanate-labeled alpha-amino acids

The content of CD117(+)cells in the kidneys and CD45(low)CD117(+)cells in the bone marrow and blood of mice were studied after partial nephrectomy and under conditions of macrophage stimulation with 3-aminophthalhydrazide. The counts of tubular CD117(+)epitheliocytes sharply increased and the content

Rapid assays for bacteria have been developed utilizing novel LysLysLys-isoluminol (14) and GluGlu-isoluminol (16) probes that have been derived from peptides which potentially mimic bacteriophage attachment protein binding regions. Compared to two conventional methods that are widely used, namely nucleic
