Abstract

We developed a novel highly sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) method for BH(4). The principle of the proposed method is based on active oxygen formation induced by 1-methoxy-5-methyl phenazinium methyl sulphate (1-methoxy PMS) in the presence of dissolved oxygen. Furthermore, active oxygen is determined by a CL assay involving the luminol reaction with microperoxidase. In this report, we examined the mechanism of formation and identified the reactive oxygen species derived from BH(4) employing 1-methoxy PMS. Additionally, optimum conditions for the CL assay of BH(4) were established.Copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
