Development of time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay with enhanced fluorescence reaction for the quantitation of atezolizumab in plasma.

Atezolizumab (ATZ) is a human monoclonal antibody, which has been granted multiple approvals from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the immunotherapy of different types of cancer. This study describes the prototype of a time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) for the quantitation of ATZ in plasma. The assay involved the non-competitive binding of ATZ to its specific antigen [programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein].

Micelle-enhanced direct spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of linifanib: Application to stability studies.

A new simple stability-indicating spectrofluorimetric method has been developed and validated for the determination of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, linifanib (LNF). The proposed method makes use of the native fluorescence characteristics of LNF in a micellar system. Compared with aqueous solutions, the fluorescence intensity of LNF was greatly enhanced upon the addition of Tween-80.
