Abstract:

Capillary electrophoresis with electrochemiluminescene detection was used to characterize procaine hydrolysis as a probe for butyrylcholinesterase by in vitro procaine metabolism in plasma with butyrylcholinesterase acting as bioscavenger. Procaine and its metabolite N,N-diethylethanolamine were separated at 16 kV and then detected at 1.25 V in the presence of 5.0 mM Ru(bpy)(3)2+, with the detection limits of 2.4x10(-7) and 2.0x10(-8) mol/L (S/N=3), respectively. The Michaelis constant Km value was 1.73x10(-4) mol/L and the maximum velocity Vmax was 1.62x10(-6) mol/L/min. Acetylcholine bromide and choline chloride presented inhibition effects on the enzymatic cleavage of procaine, with the 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) of 6.24x10(-3) and 2.94x10(-4) mol/L.
