Hl. Bhalla et al., PREPARATION OF RADIOLABELED CLONIDINE FOR USE IN RADIOIMMUNOASSAY, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 221(1-2), 1997, pp. 93-95
The preparation of stable and immunoreactive radioiodinated clonidine
for the development of a radioimmunoassay of clonidine is described Ty
rosylmethyl ester (TME) conjugate of carboxylic acid derivative of clo
nidine was radioiodinated using chloramineT as the oxidizing agent. Th
e radioiodinated clonidine was purified by thin layer chromatography,
gel filtration and solvent extraction. Radiochemical purity, specific
activity and immunoreactivity were determined. The stability of the la
beled compound during storage was tested in various solvents at differ
ent temperatures.
