title: Catalytic spectrofluorimetric determination of superoxide anion radical and superoxide dismutase activity using N,N-dimethylaniline as the substrate for horseradish peroxidase (HRP).
abstract: The coupled reaction of N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) using superoxide anion radical (O2-) as oxidizing agent under the catalysis of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was studied. Based on the reaction, O2- produced by irradiating Vitamin B2, (VB2) was spectrophotometricly determined at 554 nm. The linear range of this method was 1.8 x 10(-6)-1.2 x 10(-4) mol l(-1) with a detection limit of 5.3 x 10(-7) mol l(-1). The effect of interferences on the determination of O2- was investigated. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in human blood and mouse blood.
