Abstract : The aims of this study are to design and develop an optical biosensor that can be used without renewing reagents in the probe for detecting biologically important analytes and to apply the developed optical biosensor to measure the purine metabolism in an ischemia-reperfusion model. We developed the chemiluminometric bienzyme sensors on the basis of the horseradish peroxidase catalyzed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) / luminol reaction; horse-radish peroxidase was coimmobilized with xanthine oxidase. An optical biosensor probe with a photo multiplier tube (PMP) and an integrated preamplifier was investigated to detect chemiluminescence. The specificity for hypoxanthine was obtained by immobilizing the enzyme xanthine oxidase in a layer of sodium alginate gel over the PMP. The superoxide anion radical (O2・-) was produced in the presence of xanthine oxidase and hypoxanthine by application of the enzyme catalyzed reaction of hypoxanthine and oxygen. Immediately, the H2O2 generated from the dismutation reaction of O2・- was detected by the luminol chemiluminescence that is enhanced by horseradish peroxidase. The linear relation between chemiluminescence intensity and hypoxanthine concentration ranging from 10-6 M/L to 10-9 M/L was obtained. The concentration of hypoxanthine in rabbit plasma was also determined in peripheral blood samples (obtained from auricular vein). Hypoxanthine increased from 0.68+-0.1 μM/L to 4.5+-3.9 μM/L (mean+-S.D., n=3. P<0.05) was demonstrated in plasma obtained immediately after 90 mins of auricular artery occlusion. Using this optical biosensor, it was possible to evaluate the role of endogenous substances responsible for the generation of oxygen-derived free radicals.
