The specificity of the extraction fluorescence assay for serum or plasma quinidine. 1981

D J Greenblatt, and E Woo

A series of 26 randomly selected serum samples from patients receiving long-term antiarrhythmic therapy with oral quinidine preparation were assayed by both a modification of the extraction fluorescence technique and high-pressure liquid chromatography, with highly comparable results (r = 0.98). A review of the literature on comparing the extraction fluorescence technique's results with other methods indicates a high degree of agreement. However, because variations from study to study exist, investigators using the extraction fluorescence technique should assess the specificity of the method in their own laboratory.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011802 Quinidine An optical isomer of quinine, extracted from the bark of the CHINCHONA tree and similar plant species. This alkaloid dampens the excitability of cardiac and skeletal muscles by blocking sodium and potassium currents across cellular membranes. It prolongs cellular ACTION POTENTIALS, and decreases automaticity. Quinidine also blocks muscarinic and alpha-adrenergic neurotransmission. Adaquin,Apo-Quinidine,Chinidin,Quincardine,Quinidex,Quinidine Sulfate,Quinora,Apo Quinidine,Sulfate, Quinidine
D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
