摘要
Artemisinin was derivatized to dihydroartemisinin carboxymethylether in three steps, without disturbing the peroxide bridge, and then linked to either thyroglobulin (TGB) or bovine serum albumin (BSA). The artemisinin-TGB and -BSA conjugates were injected in female New Zealand rabbits but only the artemisinin-TGB conjugate generated polyclonal antibodies. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed and the specificity of the antibodies was confirmed by comparison with pre-immune serum and by competitive assays using different dilutions of artemisinin standards. Although anti-artemisinin antibodies cross-reacted with artemisitene and dihydroartemisinin at all dilutions used, cross-reaction with deoxyartemisinin, artemisinic acid, and arteannuin B occurred only at high concentrations. ELISA successfully detected artemisinin from crude extracts in concentrations as low as 1.5 ng ml(-1); and was epsilon 400-fold more sensitive than the HPLC-EC. The ELISA successfully detected and quantified artemisinin in different organs of greenhouse-grown plants and in eight clones of Artemisia annua grown in tissue culture but artemisinin was overestimated owing to cross-reactivity of the antibodies with artemisinin-related compounds present in the samples. Despite overestimation of artemisinin content, the correlations between ELISA and HPLC-EC were r = 0.92** when samples were diluted 100 times, and r = 0.90** when samples were diluted 500 times, indicating that ELISA is a potential tool for screening large A. annua populations.
