New rapid assay for nafcillin in serum by spectrofluorometry.

Abstract:

:A new, rapid method for measuring serum levels of nafcillin by spectrofluorometry is described. The method involves extraction of 2 ml of acidified serum with n-butyl chloride, subjecting the organic solvent layer to excitation at 340 nm, and measuring the relative intensity of emission fluorescence at 380 nm. An excellent linear correlation exists between serum levels of nafcillin and the relative intensity in a drug concentration range of 0.25 to 150 mug/ml. The results obtained by this spectrofluorometric technique are in complete accord with those obtained by the conventional microbiological assay using Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P. The method is not interfered with by elevated levels of endogenous metabolic products or the presence of other drugs, including a number of antimicrobial agents. The assay is interfered with, however, by the presence of salicylates, for which appropriate correction can easily be made. A salicylate assay employing a spectrofluorometric technique is also described.
