Application

Phenylglyoxal hydrate was used :
  • to modify pig muscle carbonic anhydraseIII
  • as specific reagent for arginine groups
  • to prepare pyrrolinone and furan derivatives
  • as chemiluminescent reagent for the determination of purines

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phenylglyoxal is a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase. It reacts with arginine residues in purified Hageman factor (HF, Factor XII) and causes inhibition of its coagulant properties.

Mammalian carbonic anhydrase III has previously been shown to catalyze the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate in addition to possessing the conventional CO2 hydratase and p-nitrophenylacetate esterase activities. Modification of pig muscle carbonic anhydrase III with the arginine reagent phenylglyoxal yielded
