  • Title: A shortened synthesis of 4-(3-aminopropyl) pyrazole, an affinity ligand for alcohol dehydrogenase purification.

    Journal: Prep Biochem; 1989; 19(2):129-39. PubMed ID: 2798361.
    Abstract:
    The most efficient, specific and rapid procedures for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) purification utilize immobilized 4-(3-aminopropyl) pyrazole to which pyrazole sensitive ADHs, i.e. class I isozymes, bind. Because of the length of the reported synthesis of this affinity resin, we synthesized the 4-(3-aminopropyl) pyrazole ligand by a new method in two steps from commercially available nicotinaldehyde. The ligand synthesized by this simplified procedure was directly coupled to the chain-extended support, Activated CH-Sepharose 4B, to yield the same ligand-spacer combination as reported by L.G. Lange and B.L. Vallee (Biochem. 15: 4681-4686, 1976). Human and hamster class I ADHs purified using this resin were homogeneous by SDS-PAGE followed by silver staining. Specific activity and recovery of human class I ADH were comparable to those previously reported.
