Researchers developed a new method using immunoaffinity solid-phase microextraction (SPME) to detect theophylline in serum. This highly specific and sensitive technique immobilizes theophylline antiserum on a fiber for accurate bioanalysis.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biochemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Theophylline is a crucial drug requiring precise quantification in serum.
  • Existing methods for theophylline determination may lack specificity or sensitivity.
  • Immunoaffinity extraction offers a promising approach for targeted analyte isolation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an immunoaffinity solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method for theophylline determination in serum.
  • To assess the specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility of the developed SPME method.
  • To evaluate the performance of the method for bioanalytical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Covalent immobilization of theophylline antiserum onto a functionalized fused silica fiber (APTES and glutaraldehyde).

  • Immunoaffinity SPME for selective extraction of theophylline from serum samples.
  • Characterization of fiber specificity, reproducibility, antigen-antibody binding kinetics, and cross-reactivity with caffeine.
  • Analysis of spiked serum samples to confirm method performance.

    • Main Results:

    • The immunoaffinity SPME fiber demonstrated high specificity with no significant non-specific binding.
    • Excellent reproducibility was achieved with a relative standard deviation of 6.1%.
    • The method showed linear theophylline binding (r2 = 0.968) and low cross-reactivity (0.1%) with caffeine.
    • Successful analysis of spiked serum samples confirmed the method's effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed theophylline immunoaffinity SPME method is selective, sensitive, and reproducible.
    • This technique offers an improved approach for the bioanalysis of theophylline in serum samples.
    • The functionalized fiber serves as an effective extraction medium for targeted drug monitoring.
