A microassay for elastase activity has been designed. Microtubes are coated with soluble elastin substrate by passive adsorption to the tube walls. On contact with enzymes in test samples, radioactivity is released into the sample buffer, which is then transferred to vials containing scintillation fluid without further processing. Porcine pancreatic elastase (EC 3.4.21.11) is easily detected in concentrations down to 8 micrograms/litre. The interassay coefficient of variation (CV) was below 10% for values above 50 micrograms/litre. The assay is rapid, precise, economical and sensitive.

Acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis in humans is thought to be perpetuated by the autolytic processes catalyzed by trypsin and lipase. This study is an integral part of our search for trypsin and lipase inhibitors to be used in the treatment of this disease.Benzethonium chloride was found to inhibit tryptic activity in vitro. The proteolytic activity of rabbit's serum was inhibited, and the inhibition was most pronounced 6 to 12 hours after the subcutaneous injection of the compound. Fibrinolysin was also inhibited in vitro but benzethonium chloride had no inhibitory action on chymotrypsin, pepsin, or lipase.Serum proteins in vitro were precipitated only with very high concentrations of the compound. No significant protein changes were observed in sera of rabbits after the subcutaneous injection of the compound.
