(1) A step of causing an enzyme that hydrolyzes hippuric acid into benzoic acid and glycine and hydrolyzes methylhippuric acid into methylbenzoic acid (toluic acid) and glycine is allowed to act on a biological sample collected from a living body (2) Step (3) for oxidizing the reaction solution obtained in step (1) (3) Step for generating hydrogen peroxide solution by mixing the reaction solution obtained in steps (2), D-amino acid and D-amino acid oxidase (4) ) (5) Separately from the steps (2) to (4), the reaction solution obtained in the step (1), D-amino acid and Peroxidation obtained in the steps (7) and (4) of mixing the D-amino acid oxidase and specifying the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution generated in the steps (6) and (5) of generating the hydrogen peroxide solution. Concentration of hydrogen water and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide water obtained in step (6) Step of calculating the concentrations of hippuric acid and methyl hippuric acid Luo biological sample

まず、本発明は(1)生体から採取された生体試料に、馬尿酸を安息香酸とグリシンに加水分解し、かつメチル馬尿酸をメチル安息香酸(トルイル酸)とグリシンに加水分解する酵素を作用させる工程を実施する。   First, the present invention (1) acts on a biological sample collected from a living body with an enzyme that hydrolyzes hippuric acid into benzoic acid and glycine and hydrolyzes methylhippuric acid into methylbenzoic acid (toluic acid) and glycine. The process to make is performed.

生体としては、本発明が有機溶媒を取り扱うヒトの特殊健康診断に主に用いられる観点から、主にヒトであるが、必ずしもこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば、イヌ、ネコ、ブタおよびウシ等の動物も含まれる。   The living body is mainly a human from the viewpoint that the present invention is mainly used for a special health diagnosis of a human who handles an organic solvent, but is not necessarily limited to this. For example, dogs, cats, pigs and cattle Etc. are also included.

生体試料としては、本発明が有機溶媒を取り扱うヒトの特殊健康診断に主に用いられる観点から、主に尿であるが、必ずしもこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば、血液、唾液、骨髄液および細胞間質液等も含まれる。   The biological sample is mainly urine from the viewpoint that the present invention is mainly used for special health diagnosis of humans handling organic solvents, but is not necessarily limited to this, for example, blood, saliva, bone marrow fluid And cell interstitial fluid.

「馬尿酸を安息香酸とグリシンに加水分解し、かつメチル馬尿酸をメチル安息香酸(トルイル酸)とグリシンに加水分解する酵素」としては、例えば、アミノアシラーゼ、および馬尿酸加水分解酵素等が挙げられる。特に安価に入手できる観点から、馬尿酸を安息香酸とグリシンに加水分解する酵素としては、アミノアシラーゼが好ましい。生体試料に当該酵素を作用させることにより、生体試料中の馬尿酸は安息香酸とグリシンに、生体試料中のメチル馬尿酸はメチル安息香酸(トルイル酸)とグリシンに、それぞれ加水分解される。   Examples of “enzymes that hydrolyze hippuric acid into benzoic acid and glycine and hydrolyze methylhippuric acid into methylbenzoic acid (toluic acid) and glycine” include aminoacylase and hippuric acid hydrolase, etc. It is done. In particular, aminoacylase is preferable as an enzyme that hydrolyzes hippuric acid into benzoic acid and glycine from the viewpoint of availability at low cost. By causing the enzyme to act on the biological sample, hippuric acid in the biological sample is hydrolyzed to benzoic acid and glycine, and methylhippuric acid in the biological sample is hydrolyzed to methylbenzoic acid (toluic acid) and glycine, respectively.

アミノアシラーゼ(EC番号:EC3.5.1.14)は、別名として、アシラーゼ、N−アシル−L−アミノ酸アミドヒドロラーゼ、N−アシルアミノ酸アミドヒドロラーゼ、L−アミノ酸アシラーゼ、アミノ酸デアシラーゼ、またはベンズアミダーゼとも呼ばれている。   Aminoacylase (EC number: EC 3.5.1.14) is also known as acylase, N-acyl-L-amino acid amide hydrolase, N-acyl amino acid amide hydrolase, L-amino acid acylase, amino acid deacylase, or benzamidase. being called.

なお、本発明における「安息香酸」とは、馬尿酸の分解物であり、何も修飾されていない安息香酸そのものをいう。   The “benzoic acid” in the present invention is a decomposition product of hippuric acid and refers to benzoic acid itself that is not modified at all.

また、本発明における「メチル安息香酸」とは、メチル馬尿酸の分解物であり、安息香酸のベンゼン環構造のo−位、m−位、p−位のいずれか1つにメチル基が修飾されたものをいう。   The “methylbenzoic acid” in the present invention is a decomposition product of methylhippuric acid, and a methyl group is modified at any one of the o-position, m-position and p-position of the benzene ring structure of benzoic acid. It means what was done.

次いで、(2)(1)の工程で得た反応液を酸化する工程を実施する。つまり、メチル安息香酸を酸化させ、フタル酸にする。一方、安息香酸は酸化されない。   Next, the step (2) of oxidizing the reaction solution obtained in the step (1) is performed. That is, methylbenzoic acid is oxidized to phthalic acid. On the other hand, benzoic acid is not oxidized.

酸化に用いる酸化剤としては、例えば、過マンガン酸カリウム、二クロム酸カリウム塩化クロミル、過硫酸カリウムが挙げられる。特に安価に入手でき、温和な条件で反応を進行できる観点から、酸化剤としては、過硫酸カリウムが好ましい。   Examples of the oxidizing agent used for oxidation include potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate chromyl chloride, and potassium persulfate. In particular, potassium persulfate is preferable as the oxidizing agent from the viewpoint of being available at low cost and allowing the reaction to proceed under mild conditions.

次いで、(3)(2)の工程で得た反応液、D−アミノ酸およびD−アミノ酸オキシダーゼを混合し、過酸化水素水を発生させる工程を実施する。   Next, the step of (3) mixing the reaction solution obtained in the step (2), D-amino acid and D-amino acid oxidase to generate a hydrogen peroxide solution is performed.

ここで、D−アミノ酸オキシダーゼとは、補因子としてフラビンアデニンジヌクレオチド(FAD)を含むペルオキシソーム酵素の一つであり、D−アミノ酸を相当するイミノ酸に変換し、同時にアンモニアと過酸化水素を合成する酵素をいう。   Here, D-amino acid oxidase is a peroxisomal enzyme containing flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a cofactor, which converts D-amino acid into the corresponding imino acid and simultaneously synthesizes ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. An enzyme that does.

また、D−アミノ酸としては、例えば、アラニン、ロイシン、イソロイシン、リジン、バリン、グルタミン酸、プロリンおよびチロシン等のα−アミノ酸だけでなく、β−アミノ酸およびγ−アミノ酸等も挙げられ、特に限定されるものではない。また、D−アミノ酸自体が高価であるため、本発明におけるD−アミノ酸としては、D−アミノ酸のみの純粋な物質のみならず、当該D−アミノ酸も含むラセミ体も含まれる。これらのことをふまえ、安価に入手できる観点から、D−アミノ酸としては、アラニン(ラセミ体)が好ましい。   Examples of D-amino acids include not only α-amino acids such as alanine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, valine, glutamic acid, proline and tyrosine, but also β-amino acids and γ-amino acids, and the like. It is not a thing. Moreover, since D-amino acid itself is expensive, the D-amino acid in the present invention includes not only a pure substance containing only D-amino acid but also a racemate containing the D-amino acid. Based on these facts, alanine (racemic) is preferred as the D-amino acid from the viewpoint of availability at low cost.

例えば、D−アミノ酸としてアラニン(ラセミ体)を用いた場合、本工程によりピルビン酸、アンモニア、そして過酸化水素水が発生する反応が実施される。   For example, when alanine (racemate) is used as the D-amino acid, a reaction in which pyruvic acid, ammonia, and aqueous hydrogen peroxide are generated is performed in this step.

工程(3)の反応時、(2)の工程で得た反応液に安息香酸が含まれる場合、当該反応は当該安息香酸によって阻害される。ただし、(2)の工程で得た反応液には、メチル安息香酸は存在せず(フタル酸に変化している)、当該メチル安息香酸が当該反応を阻害することはない。   When benzoic acid is contained in the reaction solution obtained in the step (2) during the reaction in the step (3), the reaction is inhibited by the benzoic acid. However, in the reaction solution obtained in the step (2), methylbenzoic acid does not exist (changes to phthalic acid), and the methylbenzoic acid does not inhibit the reaction.

表1は、安息香酸、メチル安息香酸、フタル酸それぞれにおいて、D−アミノ酸オキシダーゼの酵素活性を50%阻害させるために必要な量を示している。それぞれのメチル安息香酸のD−アミノ酸オキシダーゼの酵素活性を50%阻害させるために必要な量は、その酸化物であるフタル酸になることにより、多くなることがわかる。   Table 1 shows the amounts necessary to inhibit the enzyme activity of D-amino acid oxidase by 50% in each of benzoic acid, methylbenzoic acid, and phthalic acid. It can be seen that the amount necessary to inhibit the enzyme activity of the D-amino acid oxidase of each methylbenzoic acid by 50% increases with the phthalic acid that is the oxide.

Figure 0005751109

そして、(4)(3)の工程で発生した過酸化水素水の濃度を特定する工程を実施する。過酸化水素水の濃度を特定する方法としては公知の液状試薬を用いた方法を採用することができる。例えば、4−アミノアンチピリン(4−AA)および/またはN−エチル−N−(3−スルホプロピル)−m−アニシジン(ADPS)を基質とするペルオキシダーゼを用いた酵素発色法および過酸化水素による鉄イオンの酸化に伴う色素の呈色反応を利用する方法等が挙げられる。   And the process of specifying the density | concentration of the hydrogen-peroxide solution generated at the process of (4) and (3) is implemented. As a method for specifying the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution, a method using a known liquid reagent can be employed. For example, an enzyme coloring method using peroxidase with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AA) and / or N-ethyl-N- (3-sulfopropyl) -m-anisidine (ADPS) as a substrate and iron with hydrogen peroxide Examples thereof include a method utilizing a coloring reaction of a dye accompanying oxidation of ions.

本発明は、(5)(2)〜(4)の工程とは別に、(1)の工程で得た反応液、D−アミノ酸およびD−アミノ酸オキシダーゼを混合し、過酸化水素水を発生させる工程を実施する。つまり、安息香酸だけでなくメチル安息香酸もD−アミノ酸オキシダーゼによるD−アミノ酸の反応も阻害することになる。   In the present invention, apart from the steps (5) (2) to (4), the reaction solution obtained in the step (1), D-amino acid and D-amino acid oxidase are mixed to generate hydrogen peroxide. Perform the process. That is, not only benzoic acid but also methyl benzoic acid inhibits D-amino acid reaction by D-amino acid oxidase.

次いで、(6)(5)の工程で発生した過酸化水素水の濃度を特定する工程を実施する。本工程は、(4)の工程と相違するものではない。いうまでもないが、(4)に用いる試薬と同じ試薬を採用することが好ましい。   Next, a step of specifying the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution generated in the steps (6) and (5) is performed. This step is not different from the step (4). Needless to say, it is preferable to employ the same reagent as that used in (4).

最後に、(7)(4)の工程で得た過酸化水素水の濃度と、(6)の工程で得た過酸化水素水の濃度から生体試料中の馬尿酸およびメチル馬尿酸のそれぞれの濃度を算出する工程を実施する。(4)の工程で得た過酸化水素水の濃度は、馬尿酸の濃度に関連し、一方、(6)の工程で得た過酸化水素水の濃度は、馬尿酸およびメチル馬尿酸の総濃度に関連する。したがって、馬尿酸およびメチル馬尿酸の総濃度から馬尿酸の濃度を差し引くことにより、メチル馬尿酸の濃度も算定することできる。   Finally, from the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution obtained in the steps (7) and (4) and the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution obtained in the step (6), each of hippuric acid and methyl hippuric acid in the biological sample is obtained. A step of calculating the concentration is performed. The concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution obtained in the step (4) is related to the concentration of hippuric acid, while the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution obtained in the step (6) is the total of hippuric acid and methyl hippuric acid. Related to concentration. Therefore, the concentration of methyl hippuric acid can also be calculated by subtracting the concentration of hippuric acid from the total concentration of hippuric acid and methyl hippuric acid.

図1は、上述した本発明の工程(1)〜(7)における反応系を示す図である。   FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a reaction system in the above-described steps (1) to (7) of the present invention.

本発明の第2の態様による方法は、前記工程(1)と前記工程(2)の反応順を逆転させた発想に基づく。具体的には、以下の工程を含む、生体試料中の馬尿酸およびメチル馬尿酸のそれぞれの濃度を測定する方法を提供する。

(7)(4)の工程で得た過酸化水素水の濃度と、(6)の工程で得た過酸化水素水の濃度から生体試料中の馬尿酸およびメチル馬尿酸のそれぞれの濃度を算出する工程
The method according to the second aspect of the present invention is based on the idea of reversing the reaction order of the step (1) and the step (2). Specifically, a method for measuring the respective concentrations of hippuric acid and methylhippuric acid in a biological sample, including the following steps, is provided.
(1 ′) Step of oxidizing a biological sample collected from a living body (2 ′) Hydrolyzing hippuric acid into benzoic acid and glycine into the reaction solution obtained in the steps of (1 ′) and N-carboxybenzoylglycine A step (3) in which an enzyme that hydrolyzes phthalic acid and glycine is allowed to act (3) and a step (2 ′) in which the reaction solution, D-amino acid and D-amino acid oxidase are mixed to generate hydrogen peroxide ( 4) Separately from the steps (5 ′) and (2) to (4) for determining the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution generated in the step (3), benzoic acid is added to hippuric acid to the biological sample collected from the living body. A reaction solution obtained by the action of an enzyme that hydrolyzes acid to glycine and hydrolyzes methylhippuric acid to methylbenzoic acid (toluic acid) and glycine, D-amino acid and D-amino acid oxidase are mixed and peroxidized Generate hydrogen water Steps (6), (7) Identifying the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution generated in the step (5 ′), (7) The concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution obtained in the step (4), and the step (6) A step of calculating each concentration of hippuric acid and methylhippuric acid in a biological sample from the concentration of hydrogen peroxide water
