A colormetric assay for catechol-O-methyltransferase.

Abstract:

:A series of catechol diazo dyes were synthesized and tested as substrates for the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) with the aim of developing a sensitive HPLC assay method using visible wavelength light detection. A method was developed which allowed for the determination of the two regioisomeric methylated products of the COMT catalyzed reaction of 4-[(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)azo]benzenesulfonate with S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet). Separation of the assay components was achieved by reverse phase chromatography using an isocratic mobile phase. No pre-preparation of the assay samples was required.
