Carisoprodol is a centrally-acting prescription drug of known abuse. Upon ingestion it is rapidly metabolised to meprobamate, also a prescription drug with abuse potential. Current immunoassays are specific for carisoprodol and therefore have a short window of detection and, furthermore, are ineffective at detecting meprobamate. The current invention, underpinned by an antibody specific for meprobamate, overcomes these deficiencies.
卡利索普罗多尔是一种已知滥用的中枢作用处方药。摄入后迅速代谢为美普酮,美普酮也是一种具有滥用潜力的处方药。目前的免疫测定方法仅特异于卡利索普罗多尔,因此检测时间窗口短,而且无法检测美普酮。该项发明基于一种特异于美普酮的
抗体,克服了这些不足。
