The search for cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitors in large chemical and natural product libraries is limited by assay throughput. A high-throughput assay that can monitor different phosphodiesterase activities would be useful for these inhibitor searches. We have developed a sensitive ph

โฆ Synopsis
A procedure for the assay of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase is described in which labeled cyclic nucleotide is separated from labeled nucleoside by the batchwise addition of ethanolic slurries of Dowex 2 fluoride. Under the conditions described there is no detectable adsorption of nucleoside by the anion exchanger, which removes more than 95% of the tritium in boiled samples of [8-"HIcAMP or [VH]cGMP. Linear time courses and enzyme vs activity relationships are described for lo-" and 10-r M CAMP and 10e4 M cGMP. The method is limited by interference by neutral salts and by the enzymatic conversion of adenosine into inosine.
Methods
[8J4C]Inosine, 30 mCi/mmol, and [8-3H]cGMP, 0.5 Ci/mmol, were obtained from SchwarziMann.

The fluorescent 2'-methylanthraniloyl derivative of cyclic GMP undergoes a 45% decrease in fluorescence when it is cleaved by brain phosphodiesterase in the presence of calmodulin. This fluorescence decrease is dependent upon calcium, calmodulin, and phosphodiesterase, and correlates well (r = 0.996
A new assay for cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase has been developed by using reverse-phase column chromatography for the separation of product and substrate of the enzymatic reaction. The polar 5'-nucleotides are not retarded by the column, while the more lipophilic cyclic nucleotides bind to the
The fluorescent, 2'-O-anthraniloyl derivative of AMP was selectively absorbed onto DEAE-Sephadex in the presence of zirconyl chloride in citrate buffer. Under these conditions 2'-O-anthraniloyl-cAMP was eluted from the column. The selective adsorption of the AMP derivative onto DEAE-Sephadex, in the
Recent investigations in this laboratory have shown that norepinephrine (NE) is essential in ACTH-induced mobilization of free fatty acids (FFA) from adipose tissue (1). To carry out these studies it became necessary to determine the concentration of norepinephrine in the adipose tissue of normal an
