Abstract We developed a method for the selective determination of 4-aminobenzoic acid by use of 4-aminobenzoate hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.27) to convert 4-aminobenzoic acid to 4-hydroxyaniline. The subsequent conversion of 4-hydroxyaniline to indophenol dye was quantified colorimetrically. The method is reproducible, and the assay response is linear up to 40 mumol/L. Selectivity exceeding that of the current colorimetric assays was demonstrated for these enzymatic determinations of 4-aminobenzoic acid concentrations in urine samples from patients undergoing tests of pancreatic function with bentiromide. This method effectively minimizes interferences from drugs and diet, a problem in current colorimetric methods.
