Abstract

Meperidinic acid was converted to O-meperidinyl-glycollic acid and covalently attached to bovine serum albumin. Rabbits injected with this conjugate produced antibodies reactive with meperidine which were measured by the ammonium sulfate method. The specificities of these antisera were studied by competitive inhibition of the binding of 100 pmol/ml of 3H-meperidine to antibody by the prior addition of increasing concentrations of various unlabeled compounds. The concentrations in nanomoles per milliliter of various unlabeled opiods required to inhibit 3H-meperidine binding by 50% (I50) were: meperidine, 0.08; O-meperidinyl-glycollic acid, 1.7; methadone, 580; heroin, 1750; codeine, 2600; and morphine, 4200. Several psychopharmacologically active compounds were found to have I50 values comparable to the nonmeperidine opioids: hydroxyzine-HC1, 460; propoxyphene, 4,500; diazepam, 6,500; and cocaine, 10,800. The metabolites of meperidine exhibited the following I50 values: normeperidine, 0.7; meperidinic acid and normeperidinic acid, 210. A radioimmunoassay for meperidine which employs this antiserum was shown to be approximately 100 times more sensitive than the spectrophotometric method of Burns et al. (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 114:289-293, 1955). In this assay only normeperidine and some of the meperidine congeners might be expected to interfere with the measurement of meperidine. The degree of normeperidine interference was shown to be comparable to that present in the existing assay method.
