Application

4-(Dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (DMAB or Ehrlich’s reagent) has been used as a color reagent for the determination of hydroxyproline level.It forms colored condensation products (Schiff bases) with pyrroles and primary amines. DMAB is also suitable as a reagent to develop latent fingermarks on paper surfaces yielding impressions that are both colored and photoluminescent.

The structures of pyrrolic forms of cross-links in collagen have been confirmed by reacting collagen peptides with a biotinylated Ehrlich's reagent. This reagent was synthesized by converting the cyano group of N-methyl-N-cyanoethyl-4-aminobenzaldehyde to a carboxylic acid, followed by conjugation with

The Ehrlich reaction was optimized to determine pyrrolized proteins produced as a consequence of lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. The procedure consisted of the treatment of the modified protein with p-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde at a controlled acidity and temperature, and the determination
