Comparison of analysis of digoxin in cardiac patients by HPLC and RIA. 1990

A sensitive and selective high-performance liquid chromatographic-post column derivatization (HPLC-PC) method was used to determine the digoxin levels in the sera of cardiac patients and was compared to the values obtained from analysis of the same samples by conventional radioimmunoassay (RIA) procedures. A statistical comparison of the results obtained by the RIA and HPLC-PC methods showed an overall lower assay value for the samples determined by the HPLC-PC method. High cross-reactivity values for the metabolites of digoxin were determined using RIA kits currently available for digoxin measurements.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays

D004077 Digoxin A cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from Digitalis lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone DIGOXIGENIN. Digoxin has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. It is used to control ventricular rate in ATRIAL FIBRILLATION and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Its use in congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm is less certain. The margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small.
