The Determination Of Clomiphene Citrate And Tamoxifen In Human Blood Plasma And Semen, Janice Irene Kiss Jul 1990

The Determination Of Clomiphene Citrate And Tamoxifen In Human Blood Plasma And Semen, Janice Irene Kiss

Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations

Triphenylethylene antiestrogen compounds are used to stimulate ovulation in anovulary women and spermatogenesis in oligozoospermatic males. Clomiphene Citrate (CC) is given therapeuticaly as a mixture of the trans (E) and cis (Z) isomers. Each of these isomers has its own characteristic agonist-antagonist profiles. Only the trans form of Tamoxifen (T) is administered therapeutically.

HPLC methodologies were developed for the determination of CC and Tin human blood and seminal plasma. The methodologies involved extraction of the triphenylethylene compounds using hexane, followed by evaporation of the hexane under N2. The residue was then taken up in a volume of HPLC …


Microwell Based Solid Phase Competitive Enzyme Immunoassay For Estradiol And Estriol, Jeng-Ting Yang Jul 1990

Microwell Based Solid Phase Competitive Enzyme Immunoassay For Estradiol And Estriol, Jeng-Ting Yang

Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations

A sensitive and simple microwell based competition enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative determination of estradiol (E2) and estriol (E3) was developed. Nicrowells coated with antibody were incubated with antigen followed by adding horseradish peroxidase (HRPO) conjugate. The assay, which can be performed within two hours at room temperature, involved simultaneous incubation of E2 - or E3-HRPO conjugate and serum sample in polystyrene microwells coated with anti- E2 or anti-E3 gamma globulin fraction.

Gamma globulin was isolated from whole anti-serum by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. A carbodiimide coupling method was utilized to prepare the …
