The present invention provides synthetic immunochemical haptens for the generation of antibodies that are designed to recognize the common molecular features of d-methamphetamine-like abused stimulants with insignificant cross-reactivity to endogenous substrates (e.g. dopamine) or over-the-counter medications (e.g. 1-methamphetamine, pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine and ephedrine). These monoclonal antibodies and their antigen binding fragments are useful in treatment plans for recovering addicts, in emergency room settings for rapidly reversing a drug overdose, in protection of fetuses from drug-abusing pregnant mothers or in a psychiatric setting to reduce the exacerbation of psychotic disorders caused by stimulant drugs.
本发明提供了合成免疫
化学半抗原,用于产生设计用于识别d-甲基苯丙
胺类滥用兴奋剂的共同分子特征的
抗体,该
抗体与内源性底物(如
多巴胺)或非处方药物(如1-甲基苯
丙胺、伪
麻黄碱、苯
丙醇胺和
麻黄碱)的交叉反应微不足道。这些单克隆
抗体及其抗原结合片段在康复成瘾者的治疗计划、急诊室中快速逆转药物过量、保护胎儿免受滥用药物的孕妇的影响或在精神科环境中减少由兴奋剂药物引起的精神病性障碍的加剧方面是有用的。
