Measurement of plasma nortriptyline concentrations: radioimmunoassay and gas-chromatography compared.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compared measurement of plasma nortriptyline by a recently developed radioimmunoassay technique with values obtained by traditional gas chromatography. The coefficient of correlation (r) was 0.98 for 84 samples from 21 controlled patients; for a separate series of 45 samples from 34 patients who were receiving in addition other medication, r was 0.96. Use of radioimmunoassay in the routine determination of plasma nortriptyline concentration is discussed.

Double-antibody enzyme immunoassay for nortriptyline.
beta-D-Galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) from Escherichia coli was conjugated to desmethylnortriptyline by means of a bifunctional cross-linking reagent, dimethyl adipimidate, and used in a double-antibody immunoassay for nortriptyline. Eighty percent of the enzyme activity was retained after conjugation; 75% of the enzyme was conjugated to desmethylnortriptyline. In the final immunoassay the enzyme ...
متن کاملTherapeutic monitoring of tricyclic antidepressants in plasma by gas chromatography.
We describe a comprehensive gas chromatographic analysis for therapeutic concentrations of amitriptyline, nortriptyline, imipramine, desipramine, doxepin, and desmethyldoxepin in plasma, with use of a nitrogen detector. All these drugs are extracted and chromatographed under identical conditions. Each tertiary amine tricyclic is well resolved from its secondary amine metabolite on a mixed-phase...
متن کاملMeasurement of diphenylhydantoin in 0.1-ml plasma samples: gas chromatography and radioimmunoassay compared.
Concentrations of diphenylhydantoin in 364 plasma samples have been measured both by radioimmunoassay and with a recently developed gas-chromatographic method, which requires only 0.1 ml of plasma per determination. There was an excellent correlation between values obtained by the two methods (r = 0.986), and in only 11 plasma samples did the results differ by more than 20%. Of the investigated...

assay (R.I.A.) for estimation of plasma concentrations of nortriptyline and amitriptyline in monitoring response of patients receiving these drugs. However, a wide range of monoaminereuptake-inhibiting drugs is now used in treatment of depressive illness, and an advantage of some other analytical methods, such as the gas-liquid chromatography method described by Gifford et al.,’ is that they ca...
متن کاملQuantitative Determination of Amitriptyline and Its Metabolite in Rat Plasma by Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry
A rapid, specific, and reliable LC-MS/MS-based bioanalytical method was developed and validated in rat plasma for the simultaneous quantitation of amitriptyline and its metabolite nortriptyline. Chromatographic separation of these analytes was achieved on a Gemini C18 column (50 × 4.60 mm, 5 μm) using reversed-phase chromatography. The mobile phase was an isocratic solvent system consisting of ...
