The use of metallocenic esters of n-hydroxysuccinimide for metallohapten synthesis

Different organometallic markers have been described in a new technique for the labelling of many drugs. Thus metallocenic esters of [M = (;CO)3CrC6H5; (;CO)3CrC6H5(;CH2)3; η-C5H5FeC5H4; (;CO)3MnηC5H4; (;CO)3MnηC5H4COCH2CH2; ηC5H4(;ηC5H5)Co+PF−6] react with primary or secondary amine drugs [DRUGNHR] for a psychostimulant drug: amphetamine; tricyclic antidepressants—desipramine and nortriptyline; a vasodilator—histamine; an adrenergic substance—norfenefrine; and for a central stimulant—meth-amphetamine, to give the metallohaptens MCON(;R)—DRUG. All these compounds have been fully characterized by different analytical methods and have potentialities for biological assays. This synthetic route…
