    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Immunology
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor used to treat hypertension and heart failure.
    • Accurate quantification of captopril in biological samples is crucial for therapeutic drug monitoring.
    • Existing methods for captopril determination may require complex sample preparation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simple and specific enzyme immunoassay for the determination of captopril in plasma.
    • To establish the sensitivity and specificity of the developed immunoassay.

    Main Methods:

    • Production of a specific antibody against captopril using a hapten-bovine immunoglobulin G conjugate.
    • Utilizing 4-(maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane carboxylic acid as a spacer group in conjugate preparation.
    • Validation of the enzyme immunoassay for captopril quantification in human plasma.

    Main Results:

    • A specific antibody for captopril was successfully generated.
    • The developed enzyme immunoassay demonstrated a limit of detection of 0.5 ng/mL in plasma.
    • The assay exhibited adequate specificity, eliminating the need for captopril isolation.

    Conclusions:

    • A simple and sensitive enzyme immunoassay for captopril determination in plasma has been successfully developed.
    • The assay's high specificity and low detection limit make it suitable for routine clinical use.
    • This method simplifies captopril quantification, aiding in effective patient treatment.
