Three methods have been developed for measuring pseudo-alpha- and pseudo-beta-DL-glucose (pseudo-beta-D-glucose), synthetic compounds in which the ring oxygens of alpha- and beta-DL-glucose (beta-D-glucose) have been replaced by a methylene group. Moderate sensitivity in the determination of these pseudo-glucoses dissolved in human serum was obtained by GLC (0.1 nmol) and HPLC (0.5 nmol). The colorimetric determination with glucose 2-oxidase, peroxidase, and 2,2'-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) was satisfactory for the assay of pseudo-alpha- and pseudo-beta-DL-glucose (respective sensitivities: 25 and 5 nmol). The addition of hexokinase to the colorimetric assay system made it possible to eliminate glucose present in the sample, such as serum, and the remaining pseudo-alpha- or pseudo-beta-DL-glucose in the sample solution could then be measured by a colorimetric method using glucose 2-oxidase. The methods described can be used for biochemical studies involving pseudo-alpha- and pseudo-beta-DL-glucose.

It was verified, by n.m.r. and fast-atom-bombardment-m.s. studies, that the C-2 position of 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose, which was prepared by the reaction of immobilized glucose 2-oxidase from Coriolus versicolor (with 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol), is hydrated to the acetal form in water. The effects of 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose on several glucose-metabolizing enzymes were compared with those of 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol. Glucose 1-oxidase from Aspergillus niger was inhibited by 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose (Ki 6.6 mM) more effectively than 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (Ki 82.5 mM). Yeast and rat brain hexokinases phosphorylated 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose (Km,yeast 2.3 mM: Km,rat 0.79 mM) and 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (Km,yeast 3.9 mM; Km,rat 0.83 mM). The phosphorylated forms of these compounds inhibited D-glucose phosphorylation by yeast hexokinase (Ki of phosphorylated 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose 0.11 mM; Ki of phosphorylated 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol 0.38 mM) and rat brain hexokinase (Ki of phosphorylated 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose 0.07 mM; Ki of phosphorylated 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol 0.04 mM). Glucokinase phosphorylated neither 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose nor 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol, and the phosphorylation of D-glucose by glucokinase was inhibited by them. Mutarotase was slightly inhibited by 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose, as well as by 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol.

The aim of the study was to set up a novel fully enzymatic method for screening glucose and 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (1,5-AG) in one cuvette. We have determined glucose and 1,5-AG, based on glucokinase (GK) converting glucose to G6P, a compound that can be catalyzed ultimately into 6-PGA by G-6PD and its coenzyme NADP(+), and then calculated glucose concentration according to absorbance variety. Furthermore, pyranose oxidase was used to oxidize 1,5-AG with the formation of 1, 5-anhydro-fructose and H(2)O(2). Measurement was done according to Trinder's reaction principle. The mean within-run and day-to-day precision (CV) of this method for glucose was 0.88% and 1.4%, and also that for 1,5-AG was 1.05% and 1.94%, respectively. The mean recovery rate of two targets was 100.2% and 101.6%, respectively. The correlation (R(2)) between the results of 1,5-AG obtained with our proposed method (y) and those obtained with LanaAG method (x) was 0.999 (y=1.002x-0.675 micromol/l; n=86), and the correlation (R(2)) of glucose between the results obtained with our GK method (y) and those obtained with recommendatory hexokinase method (x) was 0.9999 (y=1.0043x+0.1229 mmol/l; n=86). The reference range (95%) of serological glucose and 1,5-AG was 3.7 to 5.7 mmol/l (4.70+/-0.51 mmol/l) and 83.1 to 240.7 micromol/l (161.9+/-40.2 micromol/l), respectively; and there was no difference with age and sex (P>0.05). This newly developed method was dependable and steady-going, with analysis automatization, and allows quicker and easier measurement of serum glucose and 1,5-AG in one identical reaction cuvette in-phase than previously described methods.
