Popis: A method is described for synthesis of riboflavin selectively labeled in the hydrogens at the 5′-hydroxymethyl position. In this method, a vitamin B2-aldehyde-forming enzyme from Schizophyllum commune is used to specifically and completely oxidize the 5′-hydroxymethyl of riboflavin to the 5′-aldehyde. This reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by the reduction of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol at 600 nm. Appearance of aldehyde product was directly quantitated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Product is extracted from the incubation mixture by phenol after saturation with (NH4)2SO4 and then further purified by benzyl alcohol extraction. The 5′-aldehyde is reduced with appropriately labeled sodium borohydride to yield the vitamin specifically labeled in the 5′-hydroxymethyl group.
