효소반응법을 이용한 우황 및 우황함유 액상 제제 중 총담즙산의 정량 = Quantitative Determination of Total Bile Acids from Bezoar and Bezoar-containing Liquid Preparation by Enzymatic Technique

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A simple and sensitive method was developed for the quantification of free and conjugated bile acids in bezoar without prior hydrolysis. $3{\alpha}-Hydroxy$ bile acids are first oxidized to 3-keto bile acids in the reaction catalyzed by $3{\alpha}-hydroxysteroid$ $dehydrogenase(3{\alpha}-HSD)$. During this oxidative reaction, an equimolar quantity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD) is reduced to NADH and subsequently oxidized to NAD with concomitant reduction of nitrotetrazolium blue(NTB) to diformazan by the catalytic action of diaphorase. The diformazan has an absorbance maximum at 540 nm. The intensity of the color produced is directly proportional to bile acids concentration in the bezoar extracts. The optimum conditions for the enzymatic reaction such as effects of reaction time, reaction temperature and pH, and stability were investigated. Calibration plots for the sodium chelate observed to be linear and intra-, inter-assay analytical recovery of bile acids averaged $97.65{\pm}3.4%(S.D.)$. Therefore, it is considered that the quality control of total bile acids from bezoar or bezoar-containing liquid preparation using this simple and sensitive assay system will be acceptable. Also current bezoars and bezoar-containing liauid preparations were examined their total bile acids from this method.
