چکیده
The objective of this project was to validate a new high-throughput homogeneous enzyme immunoassay (HEIA) for the rapid detection of carisoprodol in human urine. Carisoprodol (Soma(®)) and meprobamate are widely prescribed as musculoskeletal pain relief drugs and are listed as one of the 10 most frequently identified drugs associated with DUI cases. Carisoprodol has a short elimination half-life of 1-3 h; however, its major active metabolite, meprobamate, has a longer elimination half-life of 6-17 h. As a result, it is important for an immunoassay to cross-react with both compounds. The advantage of this new assay is that cutoff concentrations can be adjusted between 100 and 500 ng/mL. The reportable range was 25 to 1000 ng/mL for carisoprodol and 50 to 10,000 ng/mL for meprobamate. The intraday coefficient of variation (% CV) for the semi-quantitative assay was less than 1%. The homogeneous assay was validated with a total of 86 urine samples previously analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with carisoprodol concentrations ranging from 50 to 10,000 ng/mL. The accuracy was found to be 100% when immunoassay cutoff concentrations of carisoprodol and meprobamate were set at 100 and 1000 ng/mL, respectively.

Background: Recently, some new nanobiosensors using different nanoparticles or microarray systems for detection of mycotoxins have been designed . However, rapid, sensitive and early detection of aflatoxicosis would be very helpful to distinguish high-risk persons. Objectives: We report a highly sensitive competitive immunoassay using magnetic/silica core shell as a signal intensifier for the d...

Screening tests (UDSTs) for the diagnosis of psychoactive drugs can identify drug abuse, improve workplace safety, ensure community health, and play a critical role in therapeutic drug monitoring. Nonetheless, correct interpretation of the results of these tests requires a full awareness of the principles of testing methods, drug kinetics, and various leading causes of false results. Among the ...
متن کاملEvaluating the relationship between carisoprodol concentrations and meprobamate formation and inter-subject and intra-subject variability in urinary excretion data of pain patients.
Using urinary carisoprodol data from pain patients, our objectives were to determine the relationship between carisoprodol concentration and its conversion to meprobamate, and quantify the intra-subject and inter-subject variability in carisoprodol metabolism. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to quantitate carisoprodol and meprobamate concentrations in urine specimens. Th...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT OF A RAPID AND SENSITIVE RADIOIMMUNOASSAY FOR MEASUREMENT OF AFLATOXIN B 1 IN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES
Aflatoxin B I (AFB) isa well known hepatocarcinogen in several animal species and probably a causative agent in human hepatocellular carcinoma. Humans are exposed to AFB by ingesting contaminated food. Aflatoxin contamination encountered in human foods is usually at low levels which is difficult to measure by chromatographic methods. Therefore in the present study we have developed an immun...

Buprenorphine is now increasingly prescribed as an alternative to methadone for the treatment of heroin addiction. Because of its potency (dosage usages from 0.2 mg to 8 mg), the drug concentrations in body fluids are normally very low. Here, we report the first recombinant glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH)-based homogeneous immunoassay (EMIT-type assay) for free buprenorphine and free ...
