HPLC with fluorescence detection was used for the determination of low levels of liothyronine sodium and levothyroxine sodium in pharmaceutical preparations after fluorogenic derivatization. 9-Anthroylnitrile in dimethyl sulfoxide was used as a precolumn fluorogenic reagent. The 9-anthroylnitrile derivatives of liothyronine

The esterification reagent 9-anthroylnitrile (ANN) reacts with a serine residue in the NH2-terminal 23-kDa peptide segment of myosin subfragment-1 heavy chain to yield a fluorescent S1 derivative labeled by the anthroyl group (Hiratsuka, T. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 18188-18194).

A fluorophore, 9-anthroyl (AN) group, was covalently incorporated into the 23-kDa NH2-terminal peptide segment of myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) (Hiratsuka, T. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 18188-18194). The fluorescent S-1 derivative (AN-S-1) was utilized to detect conformational changes in the 23-kDa

A serine residue located in the active site of myosin head (S1) was labelled by 9-anthroylnitrile, an amino group located in the central domain of S1 was labelled by 7-diethylamino-3-(4'-isothio-cyanato-phenyl)-4-methylcoumari n, a cysteine residue located near the C-terminus of S1

It has been shown that one of the 12 serine residues within the 23 kDa segment of myosin subfragment 1 can be covalently modified with a fluorescent probe 9-anthroylnitrile (ANN) [Hiratsuka, T. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264 (30), 18188-18194]. To
