Abstract
BACKGROUND Biochemical detection of chronic stable angina (CSA) and myocardial infarction (MI) are challenging. To address the shortcomings of the conventional biochemical approach for detection of MI, we applied serum lacking proteins and lipoprotein-based metabolomics in an approach using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy for screening of coronary artery disease (CAD) and especially MI. Our aim was to discover differential biomarkers among subjects with normal coronary (NC), CSA, and MI. METHODS The study comprised serum samples from nondiabetic angiographically proven CAD [CSA (n = 88), MI (n = 90)] and NC (n = 55). 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to acquire metabolomics data. Clinical variables such as troponin I (TI), lactate dehydrogenase (LD), creatine kinase (CK, CK-MB, CK-MM), serum creatinine, and lipid profiles were also measured in all subjects. Metabolomic data and clinical measures were appraised separately using a chemometric approach and ROC analysis. RESULTS The screening outcomes revealed that the pattern of methylguanidine, lactate, creatinine, threonine, aspartate, and trimethylamine (TMA), and TI, LD, CK, and serum creatinine were changed in CAD compared to NC. Statistical analysis demonstrated high precision (93.6% by NMR and 67.4% by clinical measures) to distinguish CAD from NC. Further analysis indicated that methylguanidine, arginine, and threonine, and TI, LD, and serum creatinine were significantly changed in CSA compared to MI. Statistical analysis demonstrated high accuracy (88.2% by NMR and 92.1% by clinical measures) to discriminate CSA from MI. CONCLUSIONS In contrast to other laboratory methods, 1H NMR-based metabolomics of filtered sera appears to be a robust, rapid, and minimally invasive approach to probe CSA and MI.

Abstract
Creatinine (Crn) is one of the main intrinsic hydroxyl radical (•OH) scavengers and an ideal one for healthy or normal mammals, although this fact has not yet become widely accepted. Our results from urinary data estimated that ca. 0.4-0.6% of Crn is used daily to scavenge •OH in normal mammals [ca. 50 μmole and ca. 400 pmole of •OH in healthy subjects and normal rats, respectively]. In human subjects, Crn reacts non-enzymatically with •OH to form creatol (CTL: 5-hydroxycreatinine) and demethylcreatinine (DMC) in a one to one ratio, and CTL partially decomposes to methylguanidine (MG). And so, the scavenged mole of •OH by Crn is nearly equal to their molar total sum (CTL + MG + DMC) or 2 × (CTL + MG). The molar ratio of (scavenged •OH)/Crn in healthy subjects and normal rats are 4.4 and 6.0 mmole/mole, respectively, i.e. almost similar, but in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) the ratio increases up to ca. 60 mmole/mole in proportion to the severity of CKD. Since the level of Crn might not be enough to scavenge all •OH, and MG starts accumulating as a uremic toxin, Crn is not really the ideal scavenger. 5-Hydroxy-1-methylhydantoin (HMH, NZ-419), a Crn metabolite, is another antioxidant, having •OH scavenging ability, and has been shown to inhibit the progression of CKD in rats in stead of Crn, if sufficient amounts are given orally.

Abstract
The concentration of NZ-419 (5-hydroxy-1-methylimidazolidine-2,4-dione), an intrinsic antioxidant, has been shown to increase in the sera of animals and patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). This is the first report that orally administered exogenous NZ-419 prevents the initiation and/or progression of CRF in rats using an adenine-loaded model. After 24 d of adenine loading, there was a ca. 90% decrease in creatinine clearance (C(Cr)) in the control rats. Treatment with NZ-419 from the beginning significantly inhibited the decrease in C(Cr) and also the increase in serum creatinine (sCr). Bio-markers for in vivo hydroxyl radicals, the serum methylguanidine (sMG) level, and sMG/sCr molar ratio, not only in serum but also in the urine, kidney, liver, and muscle indicated that NZ-419 inhibited the increase in oxidative stress induced by CRF in rats. An increase of guanidinosuccinic acid, an another bio-marker of oxidative stress, was also inhibited with NZ-419.

Abstract
Creatol (CTL) is a hydroxyl radical adduct of creatinine (Cr). The serum methylguanidine (MG) level and the MG/Cr molar ratio are reported to be biomarkers for oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to examine whether urinary excretion of CTL, another oxidative stress-related marker, is increased in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). One hundred twenty-four non-dialyzed patients with chronic renal failure (serum Cr level, 1.3-10.0 mg/dL) were recruited from our hospitals. Urine and serum levels of CTL and MG were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with the use of 9, 10- phenanthrenequinone as a fluorogenic reagent. The CTL/Cr and (CTL+MG)/Cr molar ratios in spot urine samples were also compared with those in 24-h urine samples. The urinary CTL/Cr and (CTL+MG)/Cr molar ratios increased with decreases in Cr clearance in patients with CRF. Correlations between serum and spot urine (CTL+MG)/Cr and between serum and spot urine CTL/Cr were quite similar to those in 24-h urine samples. CTL/Cr and (CTL+MG)/Cr molar ratios in both 24-h urine and spot urine samples appear to be useful indices of the severity of CRF.

Abstract
Five creatinine derivatives were prepared by the treatment of creatinine with activated carbon and appropriate alcohol (1-4), or ammonia solution (5). Product structures were determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy in solution, including 2D HSQC and HMBC experiments. Then, the proton and carbon chemical shifts for these compounds were calculated using GIAO-DFT [B3LYP/6-311G(2d,p)] method and the Gaussian 03W program and furthermore for 1 and 5 using polarizable continuum model (PCM). The conclusions coming from the comparison of the experimental and theoretical spectra supported the adopted signal assignments and solved the structural problems due to the potential annular tautomerism of the investigated compounds. One can predict that 5-substituted creatinines, just like creatinine, appear in solution in the form of 2-amino-1,5-dihydro-1-methyl-4-imidazolone. Correlations between experimental and calculated substituent-induced chemical shifts for two tautomeric forms of 5-substituted creatinines indicate that the mechanism of the substituent influence in both tautomers for the investigated compounds appears to be analogous. We can predict that in solution this accepting inductive effect of substituent groups does not significantly influence the structure of creatinine molecule in solution. The analysis of coupling constants for 5-substituted creatinines gives information about conformation of the investigated molecules in solution.

Abstract
Creatol (CTL, 5-hydroxycreatinine) is a creatinine (Cr) oxidative metabolite, which was originally isolated from the urine of patients with chronic renal failure, representing a candidate for a uremic toxin. The effectiveness of CTL as an indicator of oxidative stress after kidney transplantation has not been reported. Therefore, we examined the relation between the change in oxidative stress (using CTL) in renal transplant patients and their change in renal function (using Cr). The serum Cr and serum and urine CTL were examined in five renal transplant patients. Serum CTL closely correlated with serum Cr. Serum CTL also correlated with urine CTL, but in some cases there was a time lag. Both the ratio of CTL/(Cr) and serum CTL observed in patient 2 were slow to improve after transplantation. The process through which oxidative stress was reduced was shown by the index of renal damage correlated with kidney function oxidative stress (using serum CTL) after transplantation. Our data suggested that CTL/Cr may be a good indicator of graft prognosis.

Abstract
Puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) has been known to induce proteinuria. The increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in this toxicity of PAN. We have reported that PAN increases the synthesis of methylguanidine (MG) and creatol which are the products of the reaction of creatinine and the hydroxyl radical in isolated rat hepatocytes. However, the mechanism for the increased ROS induced by PAN is still unclear. In this paper, we investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) on the PAN induced reactive oxygen generation in isolated rat hepatocytes. Isolated hepatocytes were incubated in Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer containing 3% BSA, 16.6 mM creatinine and tested reagents. MG and creatol were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography using 9,10-phenanthrenequinone for the post-labeling. PAN increased MG and creatol synthesis in isolated rat hepatocytes by 60%. 1-(5-Isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride (H-7), a PKC inhibitor, at 10 and 100 microM significantly inhibited MG and creatol synthesis with or without PAN. The inhibition rate is dose dependent from 10 to 100 microM. H1004, a reagent used as control for H-7, did not affect (at 10 microM) or increased little (at 100 microM) the synthesis of MG and creatol. Ro31-8425, a potent PKC inhibitor, significantly inhibited (at 10 microM) MG synthesis in the presence of PAN. PKC in the membrane fraction, a marker of PKC activation, increased over the initial concentration by a factor of 1.65-fold at 60 min incubation and 2.16-fold at 120 min with PAN, while it changed little without PAN. These results indicate that PAN activates PKC resulting in increased hydroxyl radical generation in isolated rat hepatocytes.

Abstract
Creatol (CTL) is a product resulting from the reaction of creatinine (Cr) with the hydroxyl radical and is identified as a precursor of methylguanidine (MG), a uremic toxin. In this study, we investigated serum CTL levels together with those of Cr and MG in 66 patients who were on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Prior to dialysis, the mean serum levels of Cr, CTL and MG were 967 (= 11.1 mg/dl)+/-267 microM, 11.1+/-4.8 microM and 5.8+/-2.9 microM, respectively. The mean CTL level was about 1.1% that of Cr, and the CTL plus MG level was about 1.4% that of the Cr level. The reduction rates of Cr, CTL and MG by a single HD were 62.6 6.1%, 71.0+/-10.3% and 51.9+/-11.6%, respectively. The CTL level at 0.5, 1 and 6 h after HD increased rapidly by 20.7+/-8.7%, 31.7+/-14.7% and 80.1+/-27.3%, respectively. There was a significant correlation between CTL or CTL/Cr and parathyroid hormone in patients who had just undergone parathyroidectomy. No significant correlation was found between CTL or CTL/Cr and those factors which seems to be related to the predialysis levels of reactive oxygen. Therefore, because of the good clearance of CTL and its rapid conversion to MG, its usefulness for the estimation of hydroxyl radical generation in HD patients is limited.

Abstract
Guanidino compounds are among the most likely candidates for uremic toxins. We determined the plasma, erythrocyte, and urinary concentration of guanidino compounds in 30 hemodialysis patients and 15 patients with chronic renal failure who had not undergone hemodialysis. Guanidino compounds were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Plasma levels of taurocyamine, guanidinosuccinic acid, alpha-N-acetyl-L-arginine, creatine, guanidinobutyric acid, guanidine, and methylguanidine were significantly increased in patients with chronic renal failure with or without hemodialysis. In contrast, plasma guanidinoacetic acid concentrations were significantly decreased. Erythrocyte concentrations of creatinine, guanidinosuccinic acid, guanidine and methylguanidine were also markedly elevated. No correlation was observed between plasma creatinine concentration and erythrocyte concentration of guanidinosuccinic acid or methylguanidine. However, there was a significant correlation between plasma and erythrocyte methylguanidine, and between plasma and erythrocyte guanidinosuccinic acid.

Abstract
Creatol is a hydroxyl radical adduct of creatinine and the precursor of methylguanidine (MG), a uremic toxin. We investigate the synthesis of creatol and MG from creatinine and the effect of substances that affect the hydroxyl radical in isolated rat hepatocytes. In the presence of increasing concentrations of creatinine, rising level of creatol were found after 2 h incubation in Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer. However, further increase of creatol was not observed after 4 and 6h incubations. On the other hand, MG after 2 h incubation achieved a level of about 50% that of creatol and increased depending on both the creatinine concentration and the incubation period. DMSO, a hydroxyl radical scavenger decreased the generation of creatol and MG by about 50% at 2.5 mM and the inhibition depended on DMSO concentration. Puromycin amino-nucleoside (PAN) increased both by about 170%. These findings demonstrated that hepatocytes synthesize creatol prior to MG and are inhibited by a hydroxyl] radical scavenger. They also show that PAN increased hydroxyl radical generation in tissue cells.

Abstract
This article reviews the literature on the mass spectrometry (MS) that has been used in the research of uremic toxins. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) has been most often used for the analysis of low-molecular-weight compounds in uremic blood such as organic acids, phenols, and polyols. However, it cannot be used for the analysis of middle- to high-molecular-weight substances or for involatile compounds. The development of fast atom bombardment (FAB) and liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry (LSIMS) has made possible the analysis of middle-molecules and involatile low-molecular-weight substances such as peptides and nucleosides. The development of atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) has also lead to the analysis of involatile low-molecular-weight substances. The recent advances in ionization methods, such as electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI), have permitted the MS analysis of high-molecular-weight substances such as beta 2-microglobulin, a major component of dialysis amyloid. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), using ESI, APCI, or FAB as an ionization method, is currently the preferred method for the analysis of low- to high-molecular-weight substances in uremic blood. ESI-LC/MS and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) are useful for elucidating the structure of post-translationally modified proteins obtained from the blood and tissues of uremic patients. Post-translational modification such as the formation of advanced glycation end-products and carbamoylation is enhanced in uremic patients, and is considered to be responsible for some uremic symptoms. Laser microprobe MS is unique in its capability for the two-dimensional detection of atoms such as aluminum in a tissue section obtained from uremic patients. This review focuses on the mainstream research for discovering uremic toxins, specific uremic toxins identified or quantified using MS, and the MS analysis of post-translationally modified proteins in uremia. These studies have provided ample evidence that MS has played an important role in the search for uremic toxins.

Abstract
Male LWH: Wistar rats were given creatinine (Cr) intraperitoneally at a dose of 1.00 g/kg body weight, and the urine was collected for 3 h after administration. Magnesium lithospermate B, a compound newly isolated from Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix, was administered intraperitoneally 30 min before and 30 min after Cr administration. The excretion of urinary creatol and methylguanidine induced by Cr decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Since we have already shown that the main contributor to the Cr-->creatol oxidation step is the hydroxyl radical, magnesium lithospermate B may act as a radical scavenger.
