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.

A technique was designed for the determination of hydrogen peroxide release. We found, however, that the isoluminol-amplified chemiluminescence technique is a suitable tool for measuring secretion of superoxide but not hydrogen peroxide.

The differentiation between extra- and intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in whole blood was measured by luminol- and isoluminol-enhanced chemiluminescence (CL).

Blastomycosis elicits a pyogranulomatous inflammatory response that involves a prominent recruitment of neutrophils to the site of infection. Although neutrophils are efficiently recruited to the site of infection, this event is paradoxically coupled with the host's inability to control infection

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
