DERIVATIVES, REAGENTS, AND IMMUNOASSAY FOR DETECTING LEVETIRACETAM

摘要

Levetiracetam (LEV) derivatives, methods for synthesizing LEV derivatives, and immunodiagnostic assays for LEV. The synthesis methods described herein include chirally-selective, liquid-phase synthesis steps to produce selected LEV derivatives in high-yield. LEV derivatives can include operative groups, such as: immunogenic moieties that can be used to prepare anti-LEV antibodies; antigenic moieties that can be used in immunodiagnostic assays for LEV; or tracer moieties that can be used in immunodiagnostic assays. Additionally, the LEV derivatives can be used in immunodiagnostic assays to compete with LEV for anti-LEV antibodies.
