Determination of nomifensine plasma concentrations: a comparison of radioimmunoassay and gas chromatography. 1981

I M McIntyre, and T R Norman, and G D Burrows, and K P Maguire

1 A gas-liquid chromatography (g.l.c.) method for measurement of the antidepressant nomifensine was developed and compared for precision, accuracy, sensitivity and convenience with radioimmunoassay (RIA). 2 No significant difference was found between the two techniques for unconjugated nomifensine (y = 1.07x = 2.7; r = 0.996) or total nomifensine (y = 1.;02x + 0.02; r = 0.999). 3 RIA proved more sensitive than g.l.c. (detection limit of RIA being 1 microgram/l and g.l.c. 5 micrograms/l). 4 RIA was found to be a more convenient technique (up to 50 samples per day with RIA, and 16 samples with g.l.c.).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007546 Isoquinolines A group of compounds with the heterocyclic ring structure of benzo(c)pyridine. The ring structure is characteristic of the group of opium alkaloids such as papaverine. (From Stedman, 25th ed)
D009627 Nomifensine An isoquinoline derivative that prevents dopamine reuptake into synaptosomes. The maleate was formerly used in the treatment of depression. It was withdrawn worldwide in 1986 due to the risk of acute hemolytic anemia with intravascular hemolysis resulting from its use. In some cases, renal failure also developed.

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
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.
