Pharmacology

MeSH Pharmacological Classification · 1 item

Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed, p301, p499)

Uses & manufacturing

UsesUsed as an analytical reagent; [Merck Index]
Applications · 3 items

UsesFor fluorescent detection of amino acids, peptides and proteins.Fluorescamine plays an important role as a reagent for the detection of amines, peptides and proteins. It is also used as a substrate for measuring protease activity. It is utilized in the detection and quantitation of residual aminopenicillins and sulfonamides in honey by HPLC. It finds application in the determination of lisinopril in human plasma and urine.

UsesFluorescamine is a non-fluorescent reagent that reacts readily under mild conditions with primary amines in amino acids and peptides to form stable, highly fluorescent compounds. Reaction takes place under mild conditions. Low background due to hydrolysis.

UsesAnalytical reagent.
