Radioimmunoassay of aescine, a mixture of triterpene glycosides
1Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Kuopio, Finland.
Abstract:
A radioimmunoassay (RIA) has been developed for the determination of picogram amounts of aescine, an anti-inflammatory and anti-oedematous glycoside mixture from unpurified extracts of Aesculus hippocastanum. Practically no interference is observed for various potentially crossreacting compounds. This RIA covers the range 100 pg-50 ng, within which acceptable accuracy and precision are obtained.
