[Development of selective method for mebeverine detection in blood]. / Razrabotka selektivnoi metodiki opredeleniya mebeverina v krovi.

OBJECTIVE: To develop the method of biological fluids' sample processing and mebeverine detection to exclude false results' receiving when diagnosing drug intoxication. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was carried out using «Mebeverine¼ (NJCO «North star¼, Russia) medicine and hydrolysis by enzymes, namely papain, chymotrypsin, trypsin, chymopsin and hyaluronidase, was applied for sample processing. The extractions were analyzed by methods of HPLC-MS/MS on Nexera XR modular liquid chromatograph with LCMS-8050 (Shimadzu) tandem mass spectrometer and GC-MS on gas chromatograph connected with QP-2020 (Shimadzu, Japanese) mono quadrupole mass spectrometer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: It has been revealed that using selective method of sample processing, which consists of aqueous phase extraction at pH=2-4 and enzymatic hydrolysis by papain and hyaluronidase during isolation from blood, is required to detect mebeverine in biological liquids. It has been proven that the native mebeverine is hydrolyzed to veratric (3.4-dimethoxybenzoic) acid and mebeverine alcohol at alkalotic pH value of medium. It has been shown that mebeverine extraction is necessary to study using HPLC-MS/MS, which will allow to avoid the native mebeverine degradation in chromatograph injector as with GC-MS method analysis.

[Ways to solve the problem of cross-reactions during immunochromatographic examination of biological objects]. / Puti resheniya problemy perekrestnykh reaktsii pri provedenii immunokhromatograficheskogo issledovaniya biologicheskikh ob"ektov.

The purpose of this review is to study the causes of cross-reactions of a number of drugs (mebeverine, phenibut, tropicamide, ramipril, metoprolol, phenylephrine, sertraline, chloropyramine and diphenhydramine) during the preliminary stage of laboratory diagnostics by immunochromatographic method and to propose a possible algorithm for solving this problem. Conducting a hair study in order to identify the fact of the use of psychoactive substances will increase the reliability of analytical diagnostics and reduce the likelihood of false positive results of the analysis. The use of a validated method of enzymatic hydrolysis of hair will eliminate unreliable results of the analysis due to the detection of the native molecule of the toxicant, increase the efficiency and accuracy of the diagnostic procedure.
