Title: Rapid and convenient preparation of (4-/sup 3/H)NADP and stereospecifically tritiated NADP/sup 3/H

Journal Article · · Anal. Biochem.; (United States)

The enzymatic preparation and chromatographic purification of (4-/sup 3/H)NADP and NADPH stereospecifically labeled with /sup 3/H on either the A or B faces at position 4 have been simplified. Commercially available (1-/sup 3/H)glucose was used as a starting material for the sequential synthesis of (4B-/sup 3/H)NADPH, (4-/sup 3/H)NADP, and (4A-/sup 3/H)NADPH. These products were rapidly purified by step elution of DEAE-cellulose minicolumns so that (4B-/sup 3/H)NADPH was produced and purified from (1-/sup 3/H)glucose in 2 h, (4-/sup 3/H)NADP in 5 h, and (4A-/sup 3/H)NADPH in 8 h. Yields of these products were 65 to 88% starting with (1-/sup 3/H)glucose. Analysis of the products by high-performance liquid chromatography indicated radiochemical purities of 82-95% for these compounds and specific activities equivalent to that of the starting material (10-15 Ci/mmol). 15 references.
